Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of agricultural fertilization equipment, and particularly to a fertilizer applicator with a backpressure exhaust reflux system. Background Art
[0002] In the field of modern agricultural irrigation and fertilization, drip irrigation systems have been widely used, but traditional fertilizer applicators have many problems during operation. On the one hand, when air accidentally enters the fertilizer suction pipe, the air is likely to stay in the fertilizer pump, resulting in a decrease in pumping efficiency or even inability to work properly, seriously affecting the continuity and accuracy of the fertilization operation. In addition, the power supply system of existing fertilizer applicators is difficult to adapt to voltage fluctuations in different scenarios. When the input voltage is unstable, power supply abnormalities are likely to occur, reducing the reliability and service life of the equipment. These problems restrict the efficient application of fertilizer applicators. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention provides a fertilizer applicator with a backpressure exhaust reflux system, and the technical problem to be solved is as follows: This solution effectively solves the problems in the prior art that when air accidentally enters the fertilizer suction pipe, the air is likely to stay in the fertilizer pump, resulting in a decrease in pumping efficiency or even inability to work properly, seriously affecting the continuity and accuracy of the fertilization operation, and that the power supply system is difficult to adapt to voltage fluctuations in different scenarios.
[0004] To achieve the above invention objective, the fertilizer applicator with a backpressure exhaust reflux system of the present invention includes a bottom plate, a power supply manager, a fertilizer pump, and a self-exhausting fertilizer component. The power supply manager and the fertilizer pump are arranged on the bottom plate, the power supply manager is connected to the fertilizer pump, the self-exhausting fertilizer component includes a fertilizer suction pipe, a fertilizer outlet pipe, and a reflux pipe. The fertilizer suction pipe and the fertilizer outlet pipe are respectively connected to the inlet and outlet of the fertilizer pump, the reflux pipe is connected between the fertilizer suction pipe and the fertilizer outlet pipe, and a valve is provided on the reflux pipe.
[0005] When the fertilizer pump absorbs fertilizer through the fertilizer suction pipe and discharges it from the fertilizer outlet pipe, and the fertilizer outlet pipe is connected to the drip irrigation pipeline, when air enters the fertilizer suction pipe, it will cause the air to stay and wander in the fertilizer pump, thereby affecting the pumping effect. By arranging a reflux pipe between the fertilizer suction pipe and the fertilizer outlet pipe, when the valve is opened, the fertilizer suction pipe and the fertilizer outlet pipe are connected. Since the water pressure in the fertilizer outlet pipe is greater than the water pressure in the fertilizer suction pipe, the fertilizer in the fertilizer outlet pipe will enter the fertilizer suction pipe through the reflux pipe, pushing out the air inside the fertilizer suction pipe, thereby making the fertilizer suction pipe filled with liquid fertilizer and facilitating the normal operation of the fertilizer pump.
[0006] Further, an observation pipe is provided on the fertilizer suction pipe. The observation pipe is a transparent pipe for viewing the real-time flow rate and air, and a scale is provided on the observation pipe.
[0007] Further, a fertilizer suction quick connector is provided on the fertilizer suction pipe, and a fertilizer outlet quick connector is provided on the fertilizer outlet pipe.
[0008] Further, the power supply manager includes a power conversion circuit, and the power conversion circuit includes an AC-to-DC circuit and a DC bucking circuit. The AC-to-DC circuit converts 220V AC power into DC power through a rectifier bridge; the DC bucking circuit uses a DC bucking chip to step down the 24 - 72V DC power.
[0009] Further, the power supply manager is provided with a power management chip, which can automatically detect the range of the input voltage and make corresponding adjustments and conversions according to different input voltages to provide a stable output voltage for the fertilizer pump.
[0010] Further, the power supply manager is provided with a voltage detection and feedback circuit to monitor the states of the input voltage and the output voltage in real time. When the input voltage changes, the voltage detection and feedback circuit will feed back the signal to the power management chip or the relevant control circuit, and the power management chip adjusts the working mode and parameters according to the feedback signal to keep the output voltage within the normal working range of the fertilizer pump, realizing the adaptability to wide voltage input and stable power supply.
[0011] Further, a carrying handle is provided on the bottom plate.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The fertilizer applicator of the present invention has a backpressure exhaust reflux system. By setting a reflux pipe and a valve between the fertilizer suction pipe and the fertilizer discharge pipe, it effectively solves the pumping problem caused by air entering the fertilizer suction pipe. Utilizing the water pressure difference between the fertilizer discharge pipe and the fertilizer suction pipe, the air in the fertilizer suction pipe is ejected to ensure the normal operation of the fertilizer pump; the transparent observation pipe and scale provided on the fertilizer suction pipe are convenient for viewing the real-time flow rate and air; the fertilizer suction quick connector and the fertilizer discharge quick connector facilitate the connection of the pipeline; the power supply manager uses a power conversion circuit to achieve AC-DC conversion and DC bucking, and is equipped with a power management chip and a voltage detection and feedback circuit, which can automatically detect the input voltage range, adjust the conversion and output according to the voltage change, realize the adaptability to wide voltage input and stable power supply, and improve the practicability, convenience and working stability of the fertilizer applicator with a backpressure exhaust reflux system.

[0021] The fertilizer applicator of the present invention having a backpressure exhaust and reflux system includes a bottom plate 1, a power manager 2, a fertilizer pump 3 and a self-exhausting fertilizer component 4.

[0022] When the fertilizer pump 3 absorbs fertilizer through the fertilizer suction pipe 5 and discharges it from the fertilizer discharge pipe 6, and the fertilizer discharge pipe 6 is connected to a drip irrigation pipeline.

By providing a return pipe 7 between the fertilizer suction pipe 5 and the fertilizer discharge pipe 6, when the valve 8 is opened, the fertilizer suction pipe 5 and the fertilizer discharge pipe 6 are communicated. Since the water pressure in the fertilizer discharge pipe 6 is greater than the water pressure in the fertilizer suction pipe 5, the fertilizer in the fertilizer discharge pipe 6 will enter the fertilizer suction pipe 5 through the return pipe 7, pushing out the air inside the fertilizer suction pipe 5, so that the fertilizer suction pipe 5 is filled with liquid fertilizer, which is convenient for the normal operation of the fertilizer pump 3.

The AC-DC conversion circuit converts 220V AC power into DC power through a rectifier bridge; the DC bucking circuit uses a DC bucking chip to step down the 24 - 72V DC power.
[0026] The power manager 2 is provided with a power management chip, which can automatically detect the range of the input voltage and make corresponding adjustments and conversions according to different input voltages to provide a stable output voltage to the fertilizer pump 3.

The fertilizer is pumped through the fertilizer suction pipe 5 to the fertilizer discharge pipe 6 and output to the drip irrigation pipeline. During the operation process, the fertilizer flow rate and the air entry situation can be viewed in real time through the transparent observation pipe 9 and the scale 10 on the fertilizer suction pipe 5; if it is found that air enters the fertilizer suction pipe 5 and affects the pumping, immediately open the valve 8 of the return pipe 7, and utilize the water pressure difference between the fertilizer discharge pipe 6 and the fertilizer suction pipe 5 to make the fertilizer flow into the fertilizer suction pipe 5 through the return pipe 7 to discharge the air.
