The maintenance method of sprinkler irrigation is crucial for maintaining its good operating condition, extending its service life, and ensuring irrigation effectiveness. Here are some key maintenance methods:
1、 Daily cleaning
Cleaning the casing: Use a clean cloth and water to gently wipe the casing of the sprinkler, avoiding the use of chemical cleaners or hitting the equipment.
Cleaning the nozzle and filter: The nozzle and filter are easily clogged components in the sprinkler system, and should be regularly rinsed with clean water to ensure they are clean and free of debris. Especially for filters, they should be checked every two weeks and promptly cleaned if blockages are found.
2、 Lubrication and Inspection
Lubricating components: Regularly check the lubrication condition of bearings, reducers, and motors, and add lubricating oil appropriately. Lithium based grease is a commonly used lubricant and should be added at least once a year.
Check the nozzle: Check the water spray of the nozzle at any time, and if there are any abnormalities, check for blockages or wear. High pressure gas can be used to flush the nozzle, or it can be cleaned with light alkaline water and a soft bristled brush, but it is strictly prohibited to use hard sharp objects such as iron wire to poke and scrape the nozzle.
Check pipeline sealing: Observe the sealing condition of the pipeline at any time, take timely measures if leaks are found, and prevent waste of water resources and further damage to equipment.
3、 Adjustment and replacement
Adjust water pressure: Regularly check the water pressure gauge, adjust the working status of the water pump, and maintain the water pressure within the normal range. Excessive or insufficient water pressure can affect irrigation efficiency.
Replace the filter: The filter is a component in the sprinkler system that filters impurities. It is recommended to replace it once every quarter to ensure the normal use of the sprinkler system.
Replace worn parts: Regularly inspect all components of the sprinkler system, especially the nozzle, bearings, and other easily worn parts. If severe wear or damage is found, they should be replaced in a timely manner.
4、 Comprehensive maintenance
Seasonal maintenance: At the end of the sprinkler season or when sprinkler equipment is not in use for a long time, a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the sprinkler system should be carried out. Including dismantling and disassembling the nozzle, checking for abnormal wear on rotating parts such as hollow shafts, sleeve shafts, and washers, and repairing or replacing damaged parts in a timely manner.
Professional maintenance: Sprinkler irrigation machines require comprehensive maintenance once a year, including checking the condition of various components, replacing aging parts, etc. You can seek professional maintenance personnel for maintenance, or learn some basic maintenance knowledge on your own for maintenance.
5、 Other precautions
Adhere to operating procedures: When using sprinkler irrigation machines, strictly follow the operating procedures to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. Especially during refueling, cleaning, and other operations, attention should be paid to preventing fires and other accidents from occurring.
Safe distance: When using a sprinkler, it is important to maintain a safe distance and avoid other objects or equipment around the machine to prevent accidents such as collisions or electric shocks.
Storage environment: The sprinkler should be stored in a dry and ventilated place when not in use, avoiding direct sunlight and rain. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the storage environment is appropriate to prevent damage to the equipment due to moisture or overheating.
In summary, the maintenance methods for sprinkler irrigation systems include daily cleaning, lubrication and inspection, adjustment and replacement, comprehensive maintenance, and other precautions. Only by doing these maintenance tasks well can we ensure the normal operation and long-term use of the sprinkler system.
