Abstract

See full text

An automated system which anchors the moving unit(s) of a self propelled irrigation machine to the ground in order to prevent said unit(s) from tipping over under extreme weather conditions. The automatic anchor for a self-propelled irrigation system includes a tubular body, a driving mechanism, a mounting mechanism, a shaft, a screwpile, and a control unit. The screwpile is sleeved by the tubular body and mounted onto the main frame of the moving unit(s) via the mounting mechanism. The medium shaft is telescopically connected to the screwpile on one end and operatively coupled to the driving mechanism at the other end. The control unit is communicably coupled to the driving mechanism and thus controls the rotation, position, and state of the screwpile. In the extended state, the screwpile anchors the moving unit to the ground and in the withdrawn state the screwpile is retracted thus allowing for standard operations.
