The lower end of the swivel joint 2 is connected to the output end of the fertilizer pipe, and the upper end of the swivel joint 2 is connected to one end of the spraying arm 1. The other end of the spraying arm 1 is equipped with a spraying head 24. The flywheel 4 is coaxially connected to the upper end of the swivel joint 2. The flywheel 4 is driven by the ratchet mechanism 10. The ratchet mechanism 10 is driven by the roller 9.

[0027] In this specific embodiment, the ratchet 10 mechanism includes a rocker arm 5, a pawl 6, a ratchet 10, a tension spring 7, and a check pawl 27; multiple transmission teeth are arranged circumferentially on the circumferential surface of the flywheel 4; the lower end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected to the frame 12, and the upper end of the rocker arm 5 is in contact with the transmission teeth; one end of the tension spring 7 is connected to the middle part of the rocker arm 5, and the other end of the tension spring 7 is connected to the frame 12; one end of the pawl 6 is rotatably connected to the upper middle part of the rocker arm 5, and the other end of the pawl 6 is in contact with the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 10; one end of the check pawl 27 is rotatably connected to the frame 12, and the other end of the check pawl 27 is in contact with the ratchet teeth on the ratchet 10; the ratchet 10 is coaxially fixedly arranged with the roller 9.

[0028] The top of the rocker arm 5 is provided with a roller shaft 3, and a roller 3 is provided on the roller shaft 3. The roller 3 contacts the transmission teeth of the flywheel 4 to reduce the wear of the flywheel 4.

[0029] A return spring 8 is provided between the pawl 6 and the rocker arm 5. The return spring 8 can keep the pawl 6 at a preset height and can also adapt to the angle change when the pawl 6 pushes the ratchet 10, so that the pawl 6 can push the ratchet 10 to rotate more stably.

[0030] A rocker arm base 11 is provided between the rocker arm 5 and the frame 12. An amplitude adjuster 26 is provided between one side of the rocker arm base 11 and the lower part of the rocker arm 5. The amplitude adjuster 26 includes an adjusting screw, which is threadedly connected to the rocker arm base 11. One end of the adjusting screw contacts the side wall of the rocker arm 5. By adjusting the depth of the adjusting screw into the rocker arm base 11, the distance between the top of the rocker arm 5 and the flywheel 4 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the maximum swing amplitude of the rocker arm 5. This allows the forward speed of the application device to be changed without changing the spray angle of the spray head 24.

[0031] A rocker arm seat spacer 19 is provided inside the rocker arm base 11, and a rocker arm spacer 20 is provided between the rocker arm seat spacer 19 and the rocker arm 5. The rocker arm spacer 20 is used to reduce wear between the bottom of the rocker arm 5 and the rocker arm base 11.
