[0041] Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 through 6.
[0042] The present disclosure relies on the concept of fully hydraulic water distribution system with variable water throwing arrangements installed on a vehicle. FIG. 1 illustrates a water distribution system (100) with variable water throwing/spraying arrangements. The water distribution system (100) is installed on a vehicle. The water distribution system (100) comprises a water tank (108) for holding water. The water tank (108) may be made from a 4 mm thick cold rolled (CR) steel sheets. Alternatively, the water tank (108) may be made from any other suitable material. The water tank may be used to hold water of any suitable value. Further, a water pump (102) is connected with the water tank (108) via a strainer/filter (110) with the use of a pipe. The pipe further connects the water pump (102) to a header (106). The header (106) is a water distribution node/header that relays the water to the variable water throwing arrangements including, but not limited to, a jetter or washer (112), a fire monitor (114), a mist canon (116), a front sprinkler (118) and a rear sprinkler (120). The pipe that is delivering water to the header from the water tank may be a seamless pipe made from mild steel having an inner diameter of 20 mm and an outer diameter of 25 mm. The water throwing arrangements i.e., the jetter or washer (112), the mist canon (116), the front sprinkler (118) and the rear sprinkler (120) may share the header (or distribution header) (106). Alternatively, the jetter or washer (112), the mist canon (116), the front sprinkler (118) and the rear sprinkler (120) may have their independent or standalone header arrangements. The header is made from a seamless pipe of mild steel having a diameter of 6 inches. Alternatively, the header may be made from any other suitable material. The header is further connected to a plurality of nozzles (122) (as shown in FIGS. 3-5). The arrangement of the header and the plurality of nozzles may be same for the jetter or washer (112), the mist canon (116), the front sprinkler (118) and the rear sprinkler (120). Alternatively, the arrangement of the header and the plurality of nozzles may be different for the jetter or washer (112), the mist canon (116), the front sprinkler (118) and the rear sprinkler (120). The plurality of nozzles (122) may be made from stainless steel of a grade SS316. Alternatively, the plurality of nozzles (122) may be made from any other suitable material. One of the variable water throwing arrangements i.e., the fire monitor (114) may be connected to a canon and a nozzle. The canon may be made from a 2.5 to 3 mm cold rolled sheet. Alternatively, the canon may be made from any other suitable material. A set up for the water distribution system (100) with variable water throwing/spraying arrangements may be installed on the vehicle. The set up may be provided in a cabin with a control panel for operating the water distribution system (100) with variable water throwing/spraying arrangements. The cabin may be arranged and mounted on the vehicle. The cabin may be install permanently on the vehicle. Alternatively, the cabin with the control panel may be a different unit that can be easily installed on any vehicle. An operator/driver may use the cabin to use the water distribution system for different purposes.
[0043] FIG. 2 illustrates a hydraulic system (200a) that may be used to drive the water distribution system (100). The hydraulic system (200a) comprises various elements including, but not limited to, a hydraulic pump (202), a plurality of hydraulic motors (104), a control box (distribution and regulating chamber) (214), a plurality of solenoid valves (206), an oil cooler (208), a return line filter (210) and a hydraulic tank (212). The water distribution system works fully hydraulically using the hydraulic system (200a). The hydraulic system (200a) may be driven with the vehicle’s pneumatic power delivery system (200b). The hydraulic pump (202) is directly coupled with the vehicle’s pneumatic power delivery system (200b) via a PTO (power take off) unit/gearbox (204). The power take-off (PTO) unit (204) is used for taking power from a power source i.e., the vehicle’s running engine and transmitting it to an external application or a separate machine i.e., the water distribution system (100). The hydraulic system (200a) uses hydraulic oil circulation in its various elements/components to generate and deliver power to the plurality of the hydraulic motors (104). The circulation of hydraulic oil is shown in FIG. 2.
[0044] The water distribution system (100) for variable water throwing/spraying arrangements utilizes the fully hydraulic system (200b) for its operation with the use of the control panel in the cabin of the vehicle. Moreover, the control panel may have multiple switches for starting and controlling the hydraulic system and the water distribution system. The operator/driver engages the PTO unit using a switch from the control panel. The hydraulic pump (202) is given a drive via the PTO unit and starts suctioning hydraulic oil from the hydraulic tank (212). The hydraulic tank (212) may be having a capacity to hold 400 litres of hydraulic oil. Alternatively, the hydraulic tank (212) may be having any other suitable capacity to hold hydraulic oil. The hydraulic tank (212) may be made from a 2 mm thick cold rolled steel sheet. The hydraulic pump (202) forwards hydraulic oil with the use of a hydraulic pipe, to the control box (214) as an output. The hydraulic pipe that circulates the oil in the various elements/components of the hydraulic system may be a flexible hoses of R2 grade. From the control box (214), pressurized hydraulic oil is driven to the plurality of hydraulic motors (104) by utilizing the hydraulic pipe. The flow of hydraulic oil to the plurality of hydraulic motors (104) may be controlled through the plurality of solenoid valves (206). The plurality of solenoid valves (206) may be a double acting/bi-directional solenoid valves (or solenoid coil, 24 vdc) connected to the control box (214). Hydraulic oil circulation and pressure through various elements of the hydraulic system may be controlled through the control box (214). The pressure of hydraulic oil is regulated by the control box (214) according to the RPM (revolutions per minute) needed for the plurality of hydraulic motors (104). The plurality of solenoid valves (206) may be controlled through the control panel fitted inside the cabin. Further, one of the plurality of solenoid valves may be fitted on an inlet of the control box so that if, the plurality of hydraulic motors is not in operation even though the hydraulic pump is in operation, then the hydraulic oil goes back directly to the hydraulic tank via the hydraulic pipe. An oil cooler/cooling system (12 VDC) (208) is also provided between an outlet of the hydraulic pump and the inlet of the control box to maintain the temperature of hydraulic oil as high pressure raises a temperature of hydraulic oil and radiates heat into the hydraulic system (200a).
[0045] Post the delivery of hydraulic oil to the plurality of hydraulic motors (104), the hydraulic motors gets in operation. Further, each of the plurality of hydraulic motors is used to drive the high pressure water pump (102) of the water distribution system (100) for variable water throwing/spraying arrangements including a fan/blower (124) and a slew drive (126) (for horizontal movement of the header (106)).
[0046] FIGS. 3-5 illustrate the variable water throwing arrangements of the water distribution system (100). A high pressure washer (i.e., jetter or washer (112)) is shown in FIG. 3. The high pressure washer throws the water either in a spray or in a jet form. The header (106) receives high pressure water via the pipe (128) and throws/sprays high pressure water from each of the plurality of nozzles (122) in an angle ranging from 90-120 degrees, covering an area in the range of 10 to 12 feet of a road. Further, the high pressure washer may be utilized for washing of mining vehicles and heavy machineries (fixed type). Since, the water distribution system (100) with the high pressure washer is mounted on the vehicle, the heavy machineries of fixed type may easily be washed by taking the vehicle near to them. By using a washing outlet provided for such operation, with expandable hoses and high performance nozzles, the pressure of water can be built in the range from 100-120 bar, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of washing with the use of high pressure washer.
[0047] FIG. 4 illustrates the mist canon (116). The mist canon has the header and a fan/blower (124) driven by one of the plurality of hydraulic motors (104). In the mist cannon operation, by using the fan, water particles can be thrown up to a desired distance. Water from the water pump carried by the pipe (128) at high pressure thrown/sprayed out from the plurality of nozzles changes to mist form. Further, the fan in operation, breaks mist particles of water in smaller size between 50- 80 microns and provides acceleration to the mist particles to travel to a greater distance. The mist cannon is very effective for air-borne dust suppression as the mist cannon breaks mist particles up to 50 microns which combines with minute dust particles and suppresses it. The mist cannon rotates horizontally up to 180 degrees by utilizing the slew drive (126) and has a pitching from 0-35 degrees. The mist canon covers an area of about 35000 square meters.
[0048] FIG. 5 illustrates a front sprinkler or a rear sprinkler used as a road sprinkler. The pressurized water from the pipe (128) coming from the high pressure and high volume water pump is thrown or sprinkled from the plurality of nozzles in different direction covering a large area of the road. The covering area of the sprinkled water is up to 15 square meters. As the coverage area of the road sprinkler is up to 15 square meters, the haul roads or the long stock yards can covered quickly thereby reducing number of trips of the vehicle.
[0049] Additionally, the water distribution system is also fitted with the fire monitor (114). With the automatic fire monitor (114), the vehicle becomes multi-utility. The fire monitor is set up in such way that it can be rotated or elevated to a desired degree. For example, the fire monitor can be rotated up to 350 degrees with a pitching in the range from -5 to 45 degrees. The throw range of the fire monitor is up to 30 square meters. With different water throwing range selection in the fire monitor and high performance firefighting nozzles, fire operation becomes more effective. The fire monitor may be controlled from the cabin with the use of the control panel.
[0050] Advantageously, the water distribution system with variable water throwing/spraying arrangements is driven fully with the hydraulic system using the vehicle without the need of any external power source or diesel generator, thereby reducing diesel consumption. As there is no need for external power source or diesel generator, the capacity of the water tank can be increased. The vehicle mounted with water distribution system and the hydraulic system become a multiutility vehicle and easily can be taken to any location with desired need of the utility. The water distribution and hydraulic system can be controlled via the control panel situated inside of the cabin separately or the control panel may be mounted inside driver’s cabin thereby encouraging minimal use of work force. The water distribution system with high performance hydraulic system enhances coverage range for the variable water throwing arrangements.
[0051] FIG. 6 illustrates a water distribution arrangement (300) for the vehicle. The water distribution arrangement (300) includes the water distribution system (100), the hydraulic system (200a) and the power delivery system (200b). The water distribution system (100), the hydraulic system (200a) and the power delivery system (200b) work synchronously. The water distribution system (100), the hydraulic system (200a) and the power delivery system (200b) are already explained above.
[0052] The various actions, acts, blocks or steps may be performed in the order presented, in a different order or simultaneously. Further, in some embodiments, some of the actions, acts, blocks, steps, or the like may be omitted, added, modified, skipped, or the like without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0053] The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveal the general nature of the embodiments herein that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments.
