A sprinkler system () includes a body () defining a liquid channel (). The liquid channel () is defined between an inlet (A) and an outlet (B) of the body () to allow flow of a liquid. A sprinkler head () is coupled to the body () and a plurality of nozzles () are disposed with the sprinkler head (). The plurality of nozzles () defines a first nozzle () and at least one second nozzle (). The sprinkler system () is characterizing in that the body () further defines at least one barrier () such that the at least one barrier () at least partially limits the flow of liquid from the outlet (B) towards the at least one second nozzle ().

Sprinkler system

A reel assembly () for coupling within a housing () includes an axle () and a reel () defining a rotational axis (X-X'). The reel () is rotatably mounted around the axle () to allow winding of a flexible linear component () on the reel (). The reel assembly () further includes a frame () which houses the reel (). Moreover, the reel assembly () includes one or more fixing units () to removably fix the reel assembly () inside the housing (). The reel assembly () is characterized in that the reel assembly () further includes a blocking mechanism () that operatively couples with the reel assembly () and cooperates with the reel () for selective rotation of the reel (). The blocking mechanism () disallows rotation of the reel () in absence of coupling of the reel assembly () within the housing ().

Reel assembly for a housing

The invention relates to a method for automated coupling a device (), in particular an irrigation robot (), to a water supply () and decoupling the device () from the water supply (), wherein the device () is provided with a first coupling device () having a central duct () and the water supply () is provided with a second coupling device () having a central duct () and a valve () for opening and closing the central duct (). The invention relates further to the device () and a system () comprising the device () and the water supply ().

Method for automated coupling a device to a water supply, device and system

A watering system () includes a watering robot (). The watering robot () further includes an irrigation controller () configured to operate within a region (). A connector portion () is coupled to the body (), and is adapted to couple with the one or more water supplying units () to receive water therefrom. The watering system () is characterized in that a sensor () of the watering robot () detects the one more water supplying units () to selectively integrates therewith. An actuator () of the watering robot () at least partially lifts up the watering robot () with respect to a ground surface () of the region (). The watering robot () automatically couples with the one or more water supplying units () through the connector portion (), and the actuator () at least partially lifts up the watering robot () with respect to the ground surface ().
