Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fertilizing structures, and particularly to a fertilizer adding device for a plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Background Art
[0002] In modern agricultural planting, in order to prevent and solve pest problems and supplement nutrients for crops, fertilization is an essential task. Most agricultural fertilization in our country mainly relies on manual labor. For example, when applying basal fertilizer for wheat sowing, farmers need to grab the fertilizer by hand and scatter it into the field, which is a labor-intensive task; when encountering fertilizers that have caked due to moisture, they need to be crushed by hand before spreading, which is likely to cause damage to the human hand.
[0003] Traditional UAV fertilization equipment usually requires an external power source (such as fuel or electricity) to drive the fertilization machinery. At the same time, it is difficult to achieve precise control of the fertilization amount and uniform distribution. Especially in large-area or irregular terrain farmland, traditional UAV fertilization equipment is often bulky, not easy to operate in complex terrains, and has limited fertilization speed. When replacing or replenishing fertilizers, traditional equipment may be relatively cumbersome and time-consuming. In the case where fertilization is not required, if the added non-powered fertilization system is still turned on, it may accidentally apply fertilizers to areas or crops that do not need fertilization, resulting in waste of resources and potential environmental risks. If the non-powered fertilization system cannot be turned off as needed, it may increase the complexity of operation, and the operator needs to pay extra attention to controlling the switch of the fertilization system to avoid unnecessary operation errors.

[0014] Preferably, a circumferentially distributed side support foot is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side wall of the main tank body.
[0015] Working principle: First of all, the equipment is used as the fertilization structure of the plant protection unmanned aerial equipment. It can use the oncoming wind generated during flight after the drone is hung to perform unpowered fertilization operations. It can be used for fertilization and can also be replaced by hanging to accelerate the fertilization of the fertilization drone and the speed of fertilizer replacement and fertilization. First of all, the main tank body is the main structure of the fertilization structure, which is used to fix the unpowered structure and the fertilization structure. The side legs that can be used for support are set up on the part. When there is no need to hang, the side legs are used to stably place it on the ground. At the same time, a compartment temporary storage mechanism is opened inside the main tank body, and the compartment temporary storage mechanism is used to classify and store fertilizers. The storage barrel contained in the compartment temporary storage mechanism is the main structure for storing fertilizers. It is embedded in the inside of the main tank body, and the inside of the storage barrel is connected. Multiple groups of partition plates divide the interior of the barrel into multiple storage areas, which can be used to store nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizers and dilution water respectively. Fertilizers can be added separately through the main tank body and the feeding ramps opened on the side wall of the barrel. An external discharge trough for conveying and discharging is opened below the barrel area storing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and an arc-shaped drainage trough for conveying and discharging is opened below the area storing dilution water. The discharge area of the external discharge trough is smaller than that of the arc-shaped drainage trough. At the same time, the opening position of the arc-shaped drainage trough is further away from the circular axis of the barrel relative to the external discharge trough. A bucket-shaped tank is installed at the bottom of the main tank body and the output direction of the temporary storage mechanism of the sub-bin. The bucket-shaped tank uses its own inverted cone bucket structure to be used for aggregate transportation, and multiple A sprinkler pipe is set to be used for fertilizer application, a rotor inlay frame is installed on the top of the main tank body, and the arc-shaped frame structure with openings on both sides can inlay and install the unpowered fan blades included in the unpowered linkage mechanism in the rotor inlay frame, while allowing some of the unpowered fan blades to remain in the outside environment, and the rotor inlay frame is used to connect and fix the top structure of the main tank body, and a fixed top plate is provided on the top of the rotor inlay frame, and the top surface of the fixed top plate is respectively provided with circumferentially distributed card grooves, and a T-shaped fixed beam is installed on the top of the fixed top plate, which can be used as an auxiliary load-bearing structure during hanging, and a hanging locking mechanism is provided on the top of the fixed top plate, and circumferentially distributed linkage rods are respectively installed around the three-way rotating seat contained therein, and the linkage plate contained in the hanging locking mechanism The sliding sleeve is arranged on the T-shaped fixed beam, and the auxiliary driving rod installed between the linkage rod and the linkage disk makes the linkage disk slide along the T-shaped fixed beam when the three-way rotating seat is lifted into the air, and at the same time limits the three-way rotating seat to only make linear up and down displacement movements, and the end of the linkage rod slides along the card slot installed on the fixed top plate through the installed chuck, so that the linkage rod can be synchronously unfolded along the chuck, and is engaged with the card slot on the top of the fixed top plate through the linkage rod and the chuck, which plays a hanging connection role. The double-sided suspension rods installed on the top of the three-way rotating seat can be quickly hung and lifted with the hook installed on the drone, and the unpowered linkage mechanism that uses the headwind to generate power is installed inside the main tank. The linkage main shaft contained in the unpowered linkage mechanism runs through the entire equipment from top to bottom.At its top, a lower locking component is installed, and a linkage column at the bottom end of the three-way rotating seat is installed with a hanging locking mechanism. The upper locking tongue component included can achieve mutual buckling and opening and closing. The tooth key column included in the upper locking tongue component is a tooth column structure. The inlay cylinder included in the lower locking component and the tooth key groove opened inside the inlay cylinder are tooth key groove structures. When hanging fertilization is not required, the double-sided suspension rods are separated from the hooks, causing the three-way rotating seat to drive the linkage column to descend along the linkage rod and the chuck. The conical inclined surface provided at the bottom end of the tooth key column structure can achieve rapid guiding and docking with the conical groove surface included in the lower locking component. The tooth key connection end of the tooth key column and the inner tooth groove connection end of the tooth key groove are both provided with arc surfaces, facilitating the rapid inlay of the tooth key column into the tooth key groove. The hanging locking mechanism structure stabilizes the inlay cylinder and the linkage main shaft, so that the non-powered linkage mechanism is in a closed state when hanging fertilization operation is not required. When fertilization is required, the drone flies to the top of the fertilizer adding device, hangs the double-sided suspension rods with the hooks and takes off to the airspace above the fertilization area. The upper locking tongue component included in the hanging locking mechanism is separated from the lower locking component at the top of the non-powered linkage mechanism, enabling the non-powered linkage mechanism to start operating according to the windward direction. As the drone starts flying along the fertilization area, the non-powered fan blades installed on the part of the linkage main shaft inside the rotor inlay frame improve the power of the windward surface by installing a windward inclined surface on the side, causing the non-powered fan blades to drive the linkage main shaft to rotate inside the main tank. As the linkage main shaft rotates, the part of the linkage main shaft below the sub-compartment temporary storage mechanism is installed with a component for passing through the quantitative component for docking with the classification discharge component to start the operation of temporarily storing and discharging fertilizers. The arc-shaped blocking plate included in the component for passing through the quantitative component is a large-angle arc structure and is fixed on the linkage main shaft through a cross bracket. When the linkage main shaft rotates, the arc-shaped blocking plate will sequentially open one group of the external discharge grooves of the classification discharge component and close the other groups, while the arc-shaped liquid discharge groove included in the classification discharge component remains continuously open. As multiple groups of external discharge grooves follow the arc-shaped blocking plate to be sequentially and cyclically opened, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers and dilution water are sequentially blended and mixed inside the hopper-shaped tank to achieve the effect of classified and quantitative feeding of fertilizers. While the component for passing through the quantitative component rotates and operates following the linkage main shaft, the spiral conveying blades installed on the part of the linkage main shaft inside the hopper-shaped tank also continuously rotate inside the hopper-shaped tank according to the windward power of the non-powered fan blades, and the rotation of the spiral structure causes the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers and dilution water to be fully mixed and simultaneously pressed and conveyed downward until reaching the spray irrigation pipe installed at the bottom of the side wall of the hopper-shaped tank, and then splashing around along the spray irrigation pipe. At the same time, the linkage main shaft drives the diffusion blades located below the spray irrigation pipe to rotate, continuously contacting and spreading the fertilizers splashed by the spray irrigation pipe, thereby increasing the area of aerial fertilization. The overall fertilizer adding device is driven by the drone and uses the windward surface generated during flight and the non-powered linkage mechanism to start fertilization and the operation of classified and quantitative feeding of fertilizers. At the same time, when the drone does not come into contact with the hoisting, the hanging locking mechanism structure unfolds and drives the lower locking tongue component and the upper locking component of the non-powered linkage mechanism to buckle with each other, so that when fertilization is not required,The unpowered linkage mechanism is in a closed state at all times.
[0016] The present invention provides a fertilizer adding device for a plant protection UAV. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention has the effects of classified storage and quantitative fertilization: Inside the fertilization system, there is a sub - warehouse temporary storage mechanism that can classify and store different types of fertilizers (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizers, and dilution water). With the design of internal partition plates and material placement cylinders, various fertilizers can be stored separately and quantitatively discharged through the set mechanical structure, ensuring the uniformity and accuracy of fertilization.
[0017] 2. The present invention has the effects of power utilization and transmission mechanism: Utilize the oncoming wind during flight to drive the built - in unpowered linkage mechanism (such as unpowered fan blades). These fan blades drive the linkage main shaft to rotate inside the main tank body, thereby driving the spiral conveying blades in the hopper - shaped tank below, promoting the mixing and conveying of fertilizers. Through the sprinkler pipe installed on the side wall of the hopper - shaped tank, the mixed fertilizers can be effectively sprayed onto the crops. At the same time, the diffusion blades at the bottom will further disperse the sprayed fertilizers, increasing the fertilization coverage area.
[0018] 3. The present invention has a hanging and locking mechanism: It is equipped with a complex hanging and locking mechanism and a three - way rotating seat, enabling the UAV to quickly attach and release the fertilizer adding device. When fertilization is not required, the fertilization system can be fixed on the ground, making its unpowered structure in a closed state. Using this fertilization system can improve the flexibility and efficiency of fertilization operations, especially in areas with complex terrains or areas that are difficult for manual access.

[0024] Please refer to the appendix Figure 1 - appendix Figure 9, the power-free linkage mechanism 8 is located inside the device. It cooperates with the tooth key column 78 and the material placing cylinder 91 and uses external wind energy to drive the fertilizer adding device. The power-free linkage mechanism 8 includes a linkage main shaft 81, a component passing assembly and a lower locking assembly. The linkage main shaft 81 is rotatably connected inside the main tank body 1, and at the same time, the top and bottom extend to the outside of the fixed top plate 4 and the hopper-shaped tank 2 respectively. The part of the linkage main shaft 81 extending into the rotor inlay frame 3 is fixedly connected with evenly circumferentially distributed power-free fan blades 85.

The inlay cylinder 82 included in the lower locking assembly and the tooth key groove 83 opened inside the inlay cylinder 82 are of tooth key groove structure. When no hanging fertilization is required, the double-sided suspension rods 77 are disengaged from the hooks, so that the three-way rotating seat 71 drives the linkage column 73 to descend along the linkage rod 72 and the chuck 76. The conical inclined surface 79 provided at the bottom end of the tooth key column 78 structure and the conical groove surface 84 included in the lower locking assembly can achieve rapid guiding docking. The tooth key connection end of the tooth key column 78 and the inner tooth groove connection end of the tooth key groove 83 are both provided with arc-shaped surfaces, which is convenient for the tooth key column 78 to be quickly inlaid into the tooth key groove 83. The inlay cylinder 82 and the linkage main shaft 81 are stabilized by using the hanging locking mechanism 7, so that the power-free linkage mechanism 8 is in a closed state when no hanging fertilization operation is required. When fertilization is required, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the top of the fertilizer adding device, hangs the double-sided suspension rods 77 with the hooks and takes off to the air above the fertilization area. The upper lock tongue assembly included in the hanging locking mechanism 7 is disengaged from the lower locking assembly at the top of the power-free linkage mechanism 8, so that the power-free linkage mechanism 8 can start to operate according to the windward. As the unmanned aerial vehicle starts to fly along the fertilization area, the power-free fan blades 85 installed on the part of the linkage main shaft 81 located inside the rotor inlay frame 3 improve the power of the windward surface by adding the wind-receiving inclined surface 86 on the side, so that the power-free fan blades 85 drive the linkage main shaft 81 to rotate inside the main tank body 1. As the linkage main shaft 81 rotates, the component passing assembly installed on the part of the linkage main shaft 81 located below the bin temporary storage mechanism 9 and docked with the classification discharge assembly starts to carry out the operation of discharging the temporarily stored fertilizer.The component passes through the arc-shaped baffle 88 contained in the component, which is a large-angle arc structure, and is fixed on the linkage main shaft 81 through the cross bracket 87. When the linkage main shaft 81 rotates, the arc-shaped baffle 88 will sequentially open one of the external discharge grooves 95 of the classification and discharge component and close the rest. The arc-shaped liquid discharge groove 94 contained in the classification and discharge component is continuously open. As the multiple groups of external discharge grooves 95 follow the arc-shaped baffle 88 to be sequentially and cyclically opened, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers and dilution water are sequentially blended and mixed inside the hopper-shaped tank 2 to achieve the effect of classified and quantitative feeding of fertilizers. While the component for weighing passes through and operates following the rotation of the linkage main shaft 81, the spiral conveying blade 89 installed on the part of the linkage main shaft 81 inside the hopper-shaped tank 2 also continuously rotates inside the hopper-shaped tank 2 according to the windward power of the non-powered fan blade 85, and the rotation of the spiral structure causes the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers and dilution water to be fully mixed and simultaneously pressed and conveyed downward until it reaches the sprinkler pipe 6 installed at the bottom of the side wall of the hopper-shaped tank 2, and then splashes around along the sprinkler pipe 6. At the same time, the linkage main shaft 81 drives the diffusion blade 810 located below the sprinkler pipe 6 to rotate, continuously contacting and scattering the fertilizers splashed by the sprinkler pipe 6, thereby increasing the area of aerial fertilization. The overall fertilizer adding device is driven by a drone, and uses the windward surface generated during flight and the non-powered linkage mechanism 8 to start the fertilization and the classified and quantitative feeding operation of fertilizers. At the same time, when the drone does not come into contact with the suspension, the structure of the hanging locking mechanism 7 unfolds and drives the lower lock tongue component to engage with the upper lock buckle component of the non-powered linkage mechanism 8, so that when fertilization is not required, the non-powered linkage mechanism 8 is always in a closed state.
[0025] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 - Attachment Figure 11, the bin temporary storage mechanism 9 is located inside the main tank body 1 and is used for classifying and storing the fertilization raw materials of the fertilization device. The bin temporary storage mechanism 9 includes a material placement cylinder 91 and a classification discharge assembly. The material placement cylinder 91 is fixedly connected inside the main tank body 1. The inner side wall of the material placement cylinder 91 is fixedly connected with partition plates 92 evenly distributed in a circumferential manner. The partition plates 92 divide the interior of the material placement cylinder 91 into multiple regions. The side wall at each region position of the material placement cylinder 91 penetrates and is fixedly connected with an inclined feeding chute 93. The classification discharge assembly is arranged on the bottom wall of the material placement cylinder 91 and corresponds to multiple partition regions. The classification discharge assembly includes an arc-shaped liquid discharge groove 94 and an external discharge chute 95. The arc-shaped liquid discharge groove 94 is arranged on the bottom wall of a group of partition regions inside the material placement cylinder 91, and the external discharge chute 95 is distributed on the bottom wall of the remaining partition regions of the material placement cylinder 91. The material placement cylinder 91 included in the bin temporary storage mechanism 9 serves as the main structure for storing fertilizers and is embedded inside the main tank body 1. The interior of the material placement cylinder 91 is divided into multiple storage regions by multiple partition plates 92, which can be used to store nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizers, and dilution water respectively. Fertilizers can be filled into the material placement cylinder 91 through the inclined feeding chutes 93 opened on the side walls of the main tank body 1 and the material placement cylinder 91. An external discharge chute 95 for conveying and discharging materials is opened below the region of the material placement cylinder 91 for storing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers, and an arc-shaped liquid discharge groove 94 for conveying and discharging is also opened below the region for storing dilution water. The discharge area of the external discharge chute 95 is smaller than that of the arc-shaped liquid discharge groove 94. At the same time, the opening position of the arc-shaped liquid discharge groove 94 is more deviated from the center of the circle of the material placement cylinder 91 relative to the external discharge chute 95.
