Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment, and in particular to a straw crushing mechanism and straw returning device suitable for dry fields with thin layers of black soil. Background Technology
[0002] Thin-layered black soil is the main soil type in the Northeast Plain of my country, mostly distributed in gentle slopes or well-drained areas such as hills and mountains, and is susceptible to water erosion. Dryland farming is the primary cultivation method for thin-layered black soil, characterized by a thin soil layer, typically less than 30 cm thick, and relatively low organic matter content. Controlling soil erosion and increasing soil organic matter content are important goals for protecting black soil. Returning straw to the field is a measure to improve soil fertility and increase yield in dryland thin-layered black soil. Returning straw increases soil organic matter, improves soil structure, loosens the soil, increases porosity, promotes microbial activity and crop root development, and simultaneously promotes rainwater infiltration, reducing soil water erosion. Due to the thin soil layer in dryland thin-layered black soil, straw is generally returned by crushing and mixing it into the field or by shallow plowing. Existing straw return systems generally include combine harvesters, tillage machines, or harrowing machines with shredding devices. Combine harvesters with shredding devices can shred straw and spread it on the farmland surface. However, the shredded straw is typically 10-20cm long, and sometimes even longer. This not only hinders the operation of the straw return machinery but also doesn't facilitate straw decomposition, requiring another shredding process. This increases the cost of straw return, increases the number of times machinery enters the field, further compacts the soil, destroys soil aggregates, hardens the soil, and deteriorates the quality of arable land. Furthermore, during straw decomposition, microorganisms consume nitrogen and other nutrients in the soil, causing competition for nitrogen between soil microorganisms and crops, affecting crop seedling growth. Therefore, when returning straw to the field, an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer is usually applied to promote rapid decomposition of the straw in the soil. Fertilization is generally done manually, as tillage machinery lacks a fertilization mechanism.
[0003] Therefore, how to provide a straw crushing mechanism and straw returning device suitable for simultaneous operation of straw crushing, plowing and fertilization in dry fields with thin black soil, so as to improve the efficiency of straw returning and protect the black soil, has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0021] This invention addresses the problems of thin-layered black soil dryland where the thin topsoil layer is unsuitable for deep plowing with large machinery, as well as the issues of existing straw crushing and returning machinery resulting in excessively long straw, poor cell wall breaking effect, and increased costs due to the need for secondary tillage after straw return. By coordinating crushing, tilling, and fertilization mechanisms, it achieves integrated straw return and tillage. The patented innovation includes a key component for straw crushing, enabling the crusher to simultaneously pick up, chop, flatten, and knead straw. This rapidly breaks down the waxy layer and hard cell wall structure on the straw surface, releasing internal nutrients such as cellulose and hemicellulose. The cell wall breaking rate is significantly higher than traditional straw return machinery, promoting rapid infection and reproduction of soil microorganisms, increasing the straw's water absorption and retention capacity, and accelerating straw decomposition. This patented development effectively solves the problems of poor straw crushing quality, low straw return efficiency, and poor straw degradation in thin-layered black soil dryland straw return, improving the quality of straw return operations in thin-layered black soil dryland and protecting the black soil.

[0051] The working principle of this invention is as follows:
[0052] During installation, the device is installed behind a tractor or other mechanical device via connecting block 17.
[0053] Straw crushing operation: The gearbox 14 rotates under the drive of external machinery. When the gearbox is working, it drives the second rotating shaft 15 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 15 drives the first rotating shaft 12 to rotate through the first transmission mechanism 16. The first rotating shaft 12 drives the first hammer blade 13 to rotate. When the first hammer blade 13 rotates, it crushes the straw in the field.
[0054] Straw turning operation: During the forward movement of this device, the frame 2 drives the support 31 to move forward synchronously, and the support 31 drives the turning blades 32 to move forward synchronously. When the turning blades move forward, they turn the crushed straw into the soil.
[0055] Land fertilization operation: When the motor 42 is working, it drives the third rotating shaft 45 to rotate through the second transmission mechanism 46. The rotation of the third rotating shaft 45 drives the feeding gear 44 in the feeding cylinder 43 to rotate. When the feeding gear 44 rotates, it spreads the fertilizer in the fertilizer storage box 41 into the tilled soil furrows.
[0056] Fertilizer covering operation: When the frame 2 moves forward, it drives the lower connecting rod 51 to move forward synchronously. The movement of the lower connecting rod 51 drives the disc 52 in contact with the soil to roll forward. When the disc rolls forward, the round rod 53 on the disc 52 sweeps and flattens the soil trenches after tilling, burying the fertilizer in the trenches and completing the fertilizer covering operation.
