Irrigation nozzle assembly and method

A long throw Pop-Up Irrigation Nozzle assembly has no oscillating or rotating parts and includes a cylindrical body having a fluid inlet and a sidewall defining at least one fluidic circuit configured to generate a selected spray pattern when irrigation fluid flows through the body. In order to throw long distance, droplet velocity, droplet size and droplet initial aim angle determine the throw to provide a low precipitation rate (“PR”) for fluidic sprays. The nozzle assembly and method of the present invention achieve a PR of 1 in/hr or less and good spray distribution with a scheduling coefficient (“SC”) of about 1.5 without utilizing any moving components to provide a significantly more cost effective nozzle assembly, as compared to prior art rotator nozzles.

SPRAYING DEVICE

A compact spraying device (10) connectable to a surface and for spraying a fluid comprises a housing (16) with an inlet (20), a pump (28) in fluid communication with the inlet (20), a retractable nozzle (24) in fluid communication with the pump (28), a nozzle cover (22) and a drive system (30). The retractable nozzle (24) selectively extends forward relative to a front side of the housing (16) into a spraying position for spraying the fluid and retracts inside the housing to a retracted position when not spraying. The nozzle cover (22) is selectively moveable from a closed position in which the cover (22) covers the nozzle (24) when the nozzle (24) is in a retracted position, to an open position in which the cover (22) moves to allow the nozzle (24) to extend into the spraying position. The drive system (30) moves the retractable nozzle (24) and the nozzle cover (22) and operates the pump (28).
