Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A boat-shaped sprinkler irrigation machine is adapted for large-scale farm irrigation canals, and includes a hull, a traveling propulsion device, a sprinkler irrigation device, and an electric control device. A sprinkler irrigation auxiliary support mechanism is disposed on the hull, and comprises support legs and support roller groups. The support legs are symmetrically disposed on left and right sides of the hull, and top ends of the support legs are mounted on the hull. The support roller groups are mounted on bottom ends of the support legs. The support roller group comprises support rollers. The sprinkler irrigation device comprises a self-priming pump, a sprinkler frame, and a sprinkler gun. The sprinkler frame is fixedly mounted on the hull in a position corresponding to a symmetrical center of the support legs, and the sprinkler gun is fixedly mounted on the sprinkler frame by means of a sprinkler gun adjusting assembly.
