Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irrigation machinery technology, and in particular to a fertilizer irrigation device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of agricultural technology, traditional planar planting methods have gradually shifted towards more efficient and intensive vertical planting methods. Especially in greenhouse environments, vertical farming technology has gained widespread application due to its advantages such as maximizing space utilization, increasing yield per unit area, and reducing land resource consumption. However, vertically farmed crops face unique challenges in fertilization and irrigation.
[0003] In traditional flat-planting, large irrigation systems or small spray fertilization devices can effectively meet the growth needs of crops through uniform spraying or drip irrigation. However, due to the unique planting structure of vertically grown crops—with crops arranged vertically and roots, stems, and leaves distributed at different levels—existing irrigation and fertilization equipment is not directly applicable to the vertical growing environment. Specifically: 1. Most existing irrigation equipment is designed for flat-planting and struggles to distribute water evenly in a vertical direction; 2. Existing fertilization devices are typically designed for flat-planting and cannot precisely distribute fertilizer to crops at different levels.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the special needs of vertically farmed crops, there is an urgent need to design a fertilization and irrigation device that can achieve precise and uniform irrigation and fertilization in the vertical farming environment of greenhouses, thereby effectively improving the yield and quality of crops. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing equipment in irrigation and fertilization in vertical farming environments, this utility model provides a highly adaptable, easy-to-operate, and efficient fertilization and irrigation device to meet the basic production needs of crops grown in greenhouses.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A fertilization and irrigation device includes an arched moving frame, a swinging mechanism, and side nozzles. The arched moving frame includes a movable base plate, left and right columns, and a crossbeam. Each of the left and right columns is equipped with a swinging mechanism for driving the side nozzles to swing. A liquid supply pipe is arranged along the arched moving frame, with one end of the liquid supply pipe connected to a liquid source. The swinging mechanism includes a base frame, a motor, and a central column. Two parallel side supports are provided on one side of the base frame, and a rectangular frame is provided between the two side supports. Two opposite sides of the rectangular frame are hinged to the two side supports, and the other two opposite sides are each hinged to a horizontal axis. The central column is located inside the rectangular frame, and its side wall is connected to the horizontal axis. The motor is located at the center of the base frame, and its output shaft has an eccentric wheel. A connecting shaft is located away from the center of the eccentric wheel, and the other end of the connecting shaft is hinged to the bottom wall of the central column. The side nozzles are located on the side of the central column away from the connecting shaft and are connected to the liquid supply pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, the movable base plate includes a base plate body, on which movable wheels and a driving component are provided, and the driving component is connected to the movable wheels in a transmission manner.
[0008] Furthermore, a movable component is provided between the swing mechanism and the left and right columns. The movable component includes a bushing fixed on the column. A central shaft is movably fitted in the center of the bushing. The side wall of the central shaft is provided with a transversely extending ear plate. A fan-shaped notch is opened on the bushing. The ear plate extends along the fan-shaped notch and is fixed to the base frame. A protruding pin is provided at one end of the central shaft. A protruding pin blocking component is provided on the bushing to restrict the movement of the central shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, the crossbeam is provided with a top nozzle, which includes a horizontal tube arranged parallel to the crossbeam. Multiple downward-facing nozzles are arranged on the horizontal tube along its length, and the horizontal tube is connected to a liquid supply pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the liquid supply pipe is equipped with valves for controlling the liquid flow of the side nozzles and the top nozzles, respectively.

A protruding pin 55 is provided at one end of the central shaft 52, and a protruding pin blocking member 56 is provided on the bushing 51 to restrict the movement of the central shaft 52. By setting the movable component 5, the orientation of the side nozzles 3 can be easily adjusted. In this embodiment, the orientation of the two side nozzles 3 can be adjusted to be opposite to each other, which facilitates fertilization and irrigation on both sides of a row of crops. Alternatively, the orientation of the two side nozzles 3 can be adjusted to be the same or opposite directions depending on the actual situation.
[0030] In a further embodiment, a top sprinkler head 6 is also provided on the crossbeam 13. This top sprinkler head 6 includes a horizontal pipe 61 parallel to the crossbeam 13, with multiple downward-facing nozzles 62 arranged along its length. The horizontal pipe 61 is connected to a liquid supply pipe 4. Furthermore, the liquid supply pipe 4 is equipped with valves 7 for controlling the liquid flow of the side sprinklers 3 and the top sprinkler head 6. By providing the top sprinkler head 6, top spraying can be achieved, simulating a rainy situation. Additionally, the top sprinkler head 6, when used in conjunction with the side sprinklers 3, can achieve multi-directional irrigation from the left, right, and top.
[0031] When used for fertilization and irrigation of vertically grown crops, this device not only achieves precise and efficient fertilization and irrigation, but also sprays evenly, fully covering the crops and increasing yield.
