The depth of the furrow may be monitored and adjusted by sensors or mechanical devices.
[0003] Existing fertilizer spreaders usually cover the field with fertilizer once during the automatic fertilization process, and the fertilizer is mostly located inside the field mud.

A linkage support shaft 303 is provided inside the damping shaft 302, and the linkage support shaft 303 is connected to the depth splint 301 by bolts. The linkage support shaft 303 is rotatably connected to the damping shaft 302 through a rotating groove 3022.

These sensors monitor soil resistance changes in real time and transmit this data to the control unit via the CAN bus. When resistance exceeds a preset threshold, the system automatically reduces the speed of the discharge rollers and, in conjunction with the tractor's hydraulic system, reduces travel speed, achieving a triple closed-loop control system of "resistance, flow, and speed."
[0041] Smart mode parameter settings:
[0042] Basic parameter input: Enter the field area (ha), target fertilizer rate (kg / ha) and fertilizer type (granular / powder) on the control panel, and the system will automatically calculate the theoretical roller speed.
[0043] Soil adaptation settings: Select a preset mode based on the soil type:
[0044] Clay: The resistance threshold is set to 300Ω, the fertilization depth is 12-15cm, and the lower limit of the roller speed is 250r / min.
[0045] Sandy loam: The resistance threshold is set to 150Ω, the fertilization depth is 8-10cm, and the upper limit of the roller speed is 400r / min.
[0046] The cutter head assembly 4 includes a sleeve 401 and a joint sleeve 402, wherein the joint sleeve 402 is located between the cutter head assemblies 4, wherein a pull rod 1025 is provided on the outside of the joint sleeve 402, one end of the pull rod 1025 is connected to the joint sleeve 402 through a slot, and the other end of the pull rod 1025 is connected to the longitudinal axis bracket 102 through a bolt, and a shaft rod 403 is provided inside the sleeve 401, and the shaft rod 403 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 401 through a bearing, wherein one end of the shaft rod 403 is provided with an integrally formed ball shaft 4031, and the shaft rod 403 is rotatably connected to the joint sleeve 402 through the ball shaft 4031, the vertical material pipe 1023 extends to the bottom of the cutter head assembly 4, and the oblique material pipe 1024 extends to the oblique upper part of the cutter head assembly 4;
[0047] In this embodiment, the cutter disc assembly 4 consists of a sleeve 401, a shaft 403 and a joint sleeve 402. A high-precision bearing is installed inside the sleeve, and the end of the shaft adopts an integrated ball shaft 4031 design to support 360° rotation. The inclination angle of the cutter disc is adjusted by the pull rod 1025 to 15-25° for the optimal angle of entry into the soil. When the cutter disc is in operation, it cuts into the soil at a speed of 200-300r / min, forming a V-shaped groove with a depth of 8-15cm, and at the same time throws the turned-up soil to both sides. The vertical material pipe 1023 extends to the bottom of the cutter disc, accurately delivering fertilizer to the deep end of the groove; the oblique material pipe 1024 is arranged at a 45° angle to cover part of the fertilizer on the surface soil, realizing a double-layer fertilization mode of "deep application + shallow covering", reducing ammonia volatilization loss by more than 30%.
[0048] Working principle: Confirm that the fertilizer box 2 is full of fertilizer, check that the vertical material pipe 1023 and the inclined material pipe 1024 are not blocked, the cutter head assembly 4 turns the soil and ditches, the fertilizer spreader 202 simultaneously meters and discharges the fertilizer, and the ground pressing wheel 3 compacts the soil and covers the fertilizer. Observe the feedback on the control panel in real time. If the resistance is abnormal, such as encountering a hard soil layer, the system automatically reduces the speed or suspends fertilization. By adjusting the bracket 103 and the support plate 1031, the lateral balance of the equipment is fine-tuned to avoid tilting. After activating the intelligent mode, the resistance measuring point 3023 and the linkage support shaft 303 automatically adjust the fertilizer amount and depth to adapt to the local fertility differences in the field. The built-in sensor records the fertilizer amount, depth and soil resistance data, which can be exported via USB for later farmland management analysis. After each shift, use a high-pressure air gun to clean the soil residue on the cutter head assembly 4, focusing on unblocking the interface between the vertical material pipe 1023 and the inclined material pipe 1024 to prevent compaction and blockage. The ball shaft 4031 and the joint sleeve 402 are filled with lithium-based grease NLGI weekly. Level 2; inject silicone grease into the rotating groove 3022 of the damping shaft 302 every month to prevent oxidation of the resistance measuring point 3023. Check the connecting bolts between the depth splint 301 and the longitudinal axis bracket 102 before daily operation to ensure that the preload force reaches 30N·m; if any wear marks appear on the limit block 3021, replace it immediately.
