Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fertilization, and in particular relates to a fertilizer application device and an application method based on a buoyancy drive principle. Background Art

[0002] In agricultural production, fertilization is an essential management measure to ensure high and stable crop yields. Appropriate fertilization not only ensures crop yield and quality, but also reduces environmental risks. Common fertilization methods involve digging trenches or holes around crop seeds, along the edges of planted seedlings, or at the roots, evenly applying fertilizer and then covering with soil.

[0003] However, when applying multiple fertilizers, traditional fertilization methods typically require adding different fertilizers sequentially to a fertilizer trench or pit and then completing the fertilization process by covering the soil. This makes it difficult to evenly mix the different fertilizers, resulting in low fertilization efficiency, which in turn affects crop nutrient absorption and utilization, hindering the improvement of fertilizer nutrient utilization efficiency. To address this issue, we provide a buoyancy-driven fertilizer application device and method to address these technical issues. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Specific embodiment 1

[0044] See also Figure 1-15 The present invention is a fertilizer application device based on the buoyancy drive principle, comprising a buoyancy drive mechanism 1, an intermittent feeding mechanism 2, a material guiding mechanism 3, an upward pushing mechanism 4 and an intermittent unloading mechanism 5;

[0045] The buoyancy drive mechanism 1 includes a first arcuate cavity 101 and a second arcuate cavity 102 symmetrically arranged. The diameter of the first arcuate cavity 101 gradually increases from the inside to the outside, and the diameter of the second arcuate cavity 102 gradually increases from the inside to the outside. The buoyancy drive mechanism 1 also includes two symmetrically arranged water storage channels 103. The water storage channels 103 are provided with buoyancy drive members 104. The position of the buoyancy drive members 104 inside the water storage channels 103 changes with the water level.

[0046] The intermittent feeding mechanism 2 includes a first feeding assembly 21, a second feeding assembly 22, and a feeding power assembly 23. The first feeding assembly 21 and the second feeding assembly 22 are symmetrically arranged. The first feeding assembly 21 symmetrically slides and fits inside the first arc-shaped cavity 101, and the second feeding assembly 22 symmetrically slides and fits inside the second arc-shaped cavity 102. The feeding power assembly 23 is used to realize the relative movement of the two first feeding assemblies 21 and the two second feeding assemblies 22.

[0047] The material guide mechanism 3 is coaxially fixedly arranged below the arc-shaped cavity. The material guide mechanism 3 includes a material guide ring 301 whose diameter gradually increases from the inside to the outside. A semicircular transfer cavity 302 is formed at the bottom of the material guide ring 301. The outer surface of the material guide ring 301 is provided with an inclined material guide port 303 connected to the corresponding semicircular transfer cavity 302.

[0048] The upper pushing mechanism 4 includes an upper pushing ring body 401 whose diameter gradually increases from the inside to the outside. The inner surface of the upper pushing ring body 401 fits with the outer surface of the corresponding guide ring body 301. The first arc-shaped cavity 101 is gap-matched with the corresponding upper pushing ring body 401, and the second arc-shaped cavity 102 is gap-matched with the corresponding upper pushing ring body 401. When the inclined guide port 303 and the corresponding semicircular transfer cavity 302 are in a connected state, the upper pushing ring body 401 can push the falling fertilizer to the inclined guide port 303 by moving upward. Under the action of the inclined surface, the fertilizer flows into the semicircular transfer cavity 302, thereby realizing the unloading of the fertilizer inside the first arc-shaped cavity 101 and the second arc-shaped cavity 102;

[0049] The intermittent unloading mechanism 5 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the material guiding mechanism 3. The intermittent unloading mechanism 5 includes a semicircular unloading component 51 and a semicircular pushing plate 52. The extension directions of the semicircular unloading component 51 and the semicircular pushing plate 52 are opposite. The semicircular unloading component 51 and the semicircular transfer cavity 302 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The semicircular pushing plate 52 and the upper pushing ring body 401 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The up and down movement of the upper pushing ring body 401 is realized by the rotation of the semicircular pushing plate 52.

[0050] In this embodiment of the present invention, the buoyancy drive mechanism 1 further includes a fixing ring 105 whose diameter gradually increases from the inside to the outside. A partition plate 106 is fixedly provided inside the fixing ring 105 to divide the inside of the fixing ring 105 into a first arc-shaped cavity 101 and a second arc-shaped cavity 102 by the partition plate 106.

[0051] The first arc-shaped cavity 101 and the second arc-shaped cavity 102 are both provided with a first elastic member 107 fixedly connected to the partition plate 106. The surface of the outermost fixed ring 105 is connected to a mounting plate 108 through a support frame. The entire fertilizing device can be installed on the mobile body through the mounting plate 108, so that the fertilizing device moves with the vehicle body. The distance traveled by the mobile body each time is controlled to be the distance between the two fertilizing pits, ensuring that the fertilizing device can be moved directly above the fertilizing pit every time the vehicle body moves.

[0052] In this embodiment of the present invention, the water storage channel 103 is connected to the outermost fixing ring 105 via a fixing frame, and a wire holder 109 is fixedly provided on the top of the water storage channel 103;

[0053] An axial rack 110 is slidingly provided on the side surface of the outermost fixed ring 105. The axial rack 110 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the water storage channel 103, and a traction rope passing through the corresponding wire seat 109 is connected between the axial rack 110 and the buoyancy driving member 104; through this structural arrangement, the upward movement of the axial rack 110 is achieved by the downward movement of the buoyancy driving member 104, and the downward movement of the buoyancy driving member 104 is controlled by the drop in water level. In the present application, every time the intermittent unloading mechanism 5 rotates 180°, the distance that the buoyancy driving member 104 drops as the water level is certain. By controlling the water level change in the water storage channel 103, the buoyancy driving member 104 is kept consistent in the distance it drops each time.

[0054] In this embodiment of the present invention, the buoyancy drive mechanism 1 further includes a collecting hopper 111, which is fixedly connected to the outermost fixed ring 105. A fertilizer pipe 112 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the collecting hopper 111. When the fertilizing device is moved to the top of the fertilizing pit by the vehicle body, the height of the fertilizer pipe 112 is adjusted so that the lower end of the fertilizer pipe 112 is close to the fertilizing pit, so that the discharged fertilizer can fall completely into the fertilizing pit.

[0055] An outer soil and water tray 113 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the fertilization pipe 112, and a water pump 114 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer soil and water tray 113. The water outlet of the water pump 114 is connected to the inside of the outer soil and water tray 113 through the outlet pipe, and the water inlet of the water pump 114 is connected to the water inlet pipe 115. A drain pipe 116 is connected between the two water storage channels 103, and the drain pipe 116 is connected to the water inlet pipe 115;

[0056] An inner moistening cone disk 117 coaxial with the fertilization pipe 112 is provided inside the fertilization pipe 112, and the top of the inner moistening cone disk 117 is connected to the outer moistening water disk 113 through a connecting pipe. By providing the outer moistening water disk 113 and the inner moistening cone disk 117, before fertilizing, the water inside the water storage channel 103 is sprayed into the fertilization pit to form an outer moistening water circle and an inner moistening water circle. Under the action of the falling water level, the buoyancy drive member 104 and the traction rope drive the axial rack 110 to move upward, thereby driving the intermittent unloading mechanism 5 to rotate 180° so that the discharge port on the semicircular unloading assembly 51 is set downward, and the mixed fertilizer (fertilizer + organic fine soil) flows along the fertilization channel 112 to the area between the outer moistening water disk 113 and the inner moistening cone disk 117. Through this soil moistening fertilization method, the fertilizer after fertilization is partially dissolved in the soil near the roots of the crops, thereby accelerating the absorption of fertilizer by the crops.

[0057] In this embodiment of the present invention, the first feed assembly 21 and the second feed assembly 22 each include a plurality of movable plates 211 in a radial array. The movable plates 211 are fixedly connected to each other via a first linkage plate 212. The first elastic member 107 (arc spring structure) inside the first arc-shaped cavity 101 is fixedly connected to the corresponding movable plate 211. The first elastic member 107 inside the second arc-shaped cavity 102 is fixedly connected to the corresponding movable plate 211.

[0058] An arc-shaped sealing plate 213 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the movable plate 211, the first arc-shaped cavity 101 slides with the corresponding arc-shaped sealing plate 213, the second arc-shaped cavity 102 slides with the corresponding arc-shaped sealing plate 213, the two adjacent arc-shaped sealing plates 213 inside the first arc-shaped cavity 101 are snap-fitted (at this time, the corresponding first elastic member 107 is in a stretched state), and the two adjacent arc-shaped sealing plates 213 inside the second arc-shaped cavity 102 are snap-fitted (at this time, the corresponding first elastic member 107 is in a stretched state).

[0059] In this embodiment of the present invention, the feeding power assembly 23 includes two symmetrically arranged mounting plates 231, between which a bidirectional screw 232 is rotatably arranged, and one end of the bidirectional screw 232 is connected to the output end of a power motor 233 on the surface of one of the mounting plates 231;

[0060] Two bidirectional pushing plates 234 are symmetrically arranged between the two mounting plates 231. The bidirectional pushing plates 234 fit closely with the first linkage plates 212 on both sides thereof. A second elastic member 235 is fixedly arranged between the bidirectional pushing plates 234 and the corresponding mounting plates 231. When the two adjacent arc-shaped sealing plates 213 are engaged with each other, the bidirectional pushing plates 234 fit closely with the first linkage plates 212 on both sides thereof. At this time, the second elastic member 235 is in a stretched state.

[0061] A radial extrusion piece 236 is provided between the bidirectional push plate 234 and the corresponding mounting plate 231, and is fitted with the bidirectional push plate 234. The radial extrusion piece 236 is slidably connected to the top of the partition plate 106, and the radial extrusion piece 236 is threadedly engaged with the bidirectional screw 232. The position of the bidirectional push plate 234 is limited by the radial extrusion piece 236. When the two relatively arranged radial extrusion pieces 236 move away from each other, the second elastic piece 235 gradually contracts and the first elastic piece 107 also contracts synchronously, so that the two bidirectional push plates 234 move away from each other. In this process, the two adjacent arc-shaped sealing plates 213 move away from each other, and the fertilizer falls onto the upper pushing ring body 401 through the opening of the bayonet.

[0062] In this embodiment of the present invention, a limiting member 402 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the upper pushing ring body 401, and the limiting member 402 slides with the limiting groove 304 on the inner surface of the corresponding guide ring body 301. The limiting groove 304 on the inner surface of the outermost fixed ring 105 slides with the corresponding limiting member 402. Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the upper pushing ring body 401 cannot rotate during the up and down movement. A slanted guide groove 403 corresponding to the slanted guide port 303 is provided on the top of the upper pushing ring body 401. The fertilizer falling through the open bayonet directly falls into the corresponding slanted guide groove 403.

[0063] In this embodiment of the present invention, the intermittent unloading mechanism 5 further includes a central support seat 53, which is fixedly disposed inside the innermost fixed ring 105. Two unloading shafts 54 are symmetrically disposed on the circumference of the central support seat 53 for rotation. The unloading shafts 54 are rotatably connected to the outermost fixed ring 105.

[0064] Both ends of the unloading shaft 54 are fixedly provided with unloading tooth columns 55, which are engaged with the corresponding axial racks 110; the semicircular push plate 52 is fixedly provided on the peripheral side of the unloading shaft 54, and the semicircular unloading assembly 51 includes a semicircular unloading box 511 fixedly connected to the unloading shaft 54, and the peripheral side of the semicircular unloading box 511 is provided with a unloading port 512; by providing an axial rack 110 engaged with the intermittent unloading mechanism 5, a traction rope is connected between the buoyancy drive member 104 and the axial rack 110 inside the water storage channel 103. During the entire fertilization operation, the rotation of the intermittent unloading mechanism 5 is achieved by the buoyancy drive member 104 as the water level drops, and there is no need to add an additional power source to control the rotation of the intermittent unloading mechanism 5, thereby greatly reducing the power loss and reducing the operating cost of the fertilization device. Specific embodiment 2

[0066] Based on the specific embodiment 1, the intermittent feeding mechanism 2 further includes a material gathering component 24; wherein,

[0067] The material gathering assembly 24 includes a material gathering plate 241, and each material gathering plate 241 is fixedly connected by a second linkage plate 242. The first arc-shaped cavity 101 slides with the corresponding material gathering plate 241, and the second arc-shaped cavity 102 slides with the corresponding material gathering plate 241.

Specific embodiment three

[0070] A method for applying fertilizer using a buoyancy-driven fertilizer application device comprises the following steps:

[0071] S01. Different fertilizers are stored in the first arc-shaped cavity 101, and organic fine soil is stored in the second arc-shaped cavity 102. In the initial state, the first elastic member 107 is in a stretched state, the two adjacent arc-shaped sealing plates 213 remain engaged, and the bidirectional push plates 234 are tightly attached to the surfaces of the first linkage plates 212 on both sides.

[0072] S02. When the fertilizer application device moves to the fertilizer application pit, the power motor 233 starts to control the bidirectional screw 232 to rotate forward, so that the two radial extrusion members 236 move to the side away from the bidirectional push plate 234. Under the elastic restoring force of the second elastic member 235, the bidirectional push plate 234 moves toward the corresponding mounting plate 231. Under the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 107, the engaging openings of the two adjacent arc-shaped sealing plates 213 are opened, and the fertilizer and organic fine soil fall into the corresponding inclined material guide channel 403. As the power motor 233 controls the bidirectional screw 232 to rotate in the opposite direction, the bidirectional push plate 234 moves in the opposite direction and resets.

[0073] S03, the water delivery pump 114 is started to discharge the water in the two water storage channels 103 at the same time, and the discharged water is sprayed into the fertilization pit along the outer moistening water pan 113 and the inner moistening cone pan 117, thereby forming an outer moistening water circle and an inner moistening water circle in the fertilization pit;

[0074] S04, as the water level drops, the buoyancy driving member 104 causes the corresponding axial rack 110 to move upward, and under the cooperation of the axial rack 110 and the discharge tooth column 55, the semicircular discharge box 511 and the semicircular push plate 52 are driven to rotate 180 degrees. At this time, the discharge port 512 on the semicircular discharge box 511 is set vertically downward, and the semicircular push plate 52 pushes the upper push ring 401 upward so that the inclined guide channel 403 is aligned with the corresponding inclined guide channel 303. The fertilizer and organic crushed soil in the inclined guide channel 403 fall into the gathering hopper 111 at the same time for mixing, and the mixed fertilizer falls into the area between the outer moistening soil water circle and the inner moistening soil water circle in the fertilization pit;

[0075] S05, the water delivery pump 114 is started again to control the discharge of the same volume of water. Under the action of the traction rope, the axial rack 110 is moved up again by the same distance, thereby driving the semicircular discharge box 511 and the semicircular push plate 52 to rotate 180 degrees again. At this time, the semicircular discharge box 511 is re-fitted inside the corresponding semicircular transfer cavity 302, and the upper push ring 401 is moved down and reset to make the inclined guide channel 403 disengage from the corresponding inclined guide port 303. The outer moistening water tray 113 and the inner moistening cone tray 117 spray water on the fertilizer pit after fertilization again;

[0076] S06: The fertilizer application device moves to another fertilizer application pit, and steps S02-S05 are repeated to implement the fertilization operation in each fertilizer application pit.
