Method for providing a fertilizer and a fertilizing system

Abstract

A fertilizing system and a method for fertilizing are provided. The system includes: a first chamber, a first piston, a second chamber, a fertilized inlet, a fertilizer outlet and a fluid inlet. The first piston is adapted to reciprocate within the first chamber at least partially in response to a flow of fluid from the fluid inlet. The second piston is adapted to reciprocate within the second chamber at least partially in response to the reciprocal movement of the first piston. The second piston selectively enables a fertilizer to flow from the fertilizer inlet to the fertilizer outlet.

Claims

1. A fertilizing system comprising: a first chamber, a first piston, a second chamber, a fertilized inlet, a fertilizer outlet, a fluid inlet; wherein the first piston is adapted to reciprocate within the first chamber at least partially in response to a flow of fluid from the fluid inlet; wherein the second piston is adapted to reciprocate within the second chamber at least partially in response to the reciprocal movement of the first piston; whereas the second piston selectively enables a fertilizer to flow from the fertilizer inlet to the fertilizer outlet.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the first piston is connected to a diaphragm; wherein the diaphragm reciprocates in response to flow of the fluid within different spaced within the first chamber.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the first piston is connected to a diaphragm; wherein the diaphragm has a front surface and a rear surface; wherein the front surface of the diaphragm faces the fluid inlet; wherein the diaphragm moves towards one end of the first chamber in response to fluid that flows towards the front surface of the diaphragm; and wherein the diaphragm moves towards another end of the first chamber in response to fluid that flows towards the rear surface.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the first piston defines a passageway for fluid that is selectively blocked in response to a position of the first piston; wherein fluid that passes the passageway flows towards the rear surface of the diaphragm.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the first piston defines a passageway for fluid that is selectively blocked in response to a position of the first piston.

6. The system according to claim 1 wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are connected by an inter-chamber pipe.

7. The system according to claim 6 wherein the first piston enables passage of fluid from the first chamber, via the inter-chamber pipe, to the second chamber at least when the first piston is relatively proximate to the other end of the first chamber.

8. The system according to claim 6 wherein the first piston enables passage of fluid from the second chamber and towards a drain outlet within the first chamber at least when the second piston starts to move towards a first end of the second chamber.

9. The system according to claim 1 wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are substantially parallel to each other.

10. The system according to claim 1 wherein the second piston is connected to a rear disk and to a front member; wherein a rear surface of the rear disk faces a inter-chamber fluid inlet; wherein the read disk moves towards one end of the second chamber at least partially in response to fluid that flows towards the rear surface of the rear disk; and wherein the rear disk moves towards another end of the second chamber at least partially in response to a spring that contacts the read risk.

11. The system according to claim 10 wherein the front member, the fertilizer inlet, the fertilizer outlet and the second chamber define a fertilizer space through which fertilizer can flow from the fertilizer inlet to the fertilizer outlet; and wherein the rear disk and the front member are shaped such as to allow the system to output the fertilizer at a pressure that is higher than a pressure of the fluid the is provided via the fluid inlet.

12. The system according to claim 1 wherein the fertilizer outlet is coupled via at least one fertilizer pipe and at least one fertilizer valve to an irrigation pipe.

13. The system according to claim 1 wherein the system is adapted to suck fertilizer into a curved space.

14. A method for fertilizing, the method comprises: performing a reciprocal movement of a first piston and of a second piston connected to the first piston; wherein the movement is at least partially responsive to a flow of fluid within at least one out of a first chamber and a second chamber; and providing a fertilizer in response to the reciprocal movement of the second piston.

15. The method according to claim 14 wherein the performing a reciprocal movement comprises reciprocally moving a diaphragm connected to the first piston.

16. The method according to claim 14 the system of claim 1 wherein the reciprocally moving a diaphragm connected to the first piston comprises moving the diaphragm forward in response to a flow of fluid that flows towards a rear surface of the diaphragm and moving the diaphragm backwards in response to a flow of fluid towards a front surface of the diaphragm.

17. The method according to claim 14 further comprising selectively allowing the fluid to flow via a passageway towards the rear surface of the diaphragm.

18. The method according to claim 14 further comprising allowing fluid to flow between the first chamber and the second chamber.

19. The method according to claim 14 wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are substantially parallel to each other.

20. The method according to claim 14 further comprising receiving fluid at a certain pressure level and providing a fertilizer at a pressure level that is higher than the certain pressure level.
