Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fruit tree fertilization technology, specifically a precision soil fertilization device that facilitates calcium absorption by apple roots. Background Technology

[0002] Root fertilization of apple trees is a crucial aspect of orchard management. The depth, location, and method of fertilization directly affect fertilizer utilization and tree growth and development. Traditional fertilization methods often involve manually digging trenches or holes, applying fertilizer to the bottom of the trench all at once, and then covering it with soil. This method has the following problems: Unreasonable fertilizer distribution: Different root systems at different depths have different nutrient requirements. Deep roots need long-lasting organic fertilizer to improve the soil, the middle layer is the main absorption root distribution area and needs continuous fertilization, and shallow roots need fast-acting fertilizer to quickly replenish nutrients. However, traditional one-time fertilization cannot achieve vertical stratified nutrient supply, which can easily lead to fertilizer loss or root burn. Low fertilization efficiency: Manual fertilization requires multiple trips, first applying bottom fertilizer and covering with soil, then applying middle layer fertilizer and covering with soil, and finally applying top layer fertilizer and compacting. The process is cumbersome and labor-intensive.

[0003] To address the above problems, this invention provides a precision soil fertilization device that facilitates calcium absorption by apple roots, thereby solving the aforementioned issues. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0049] Reference Figures 1-6 This invention provides a technical solution: a precision soil fertilization device that facilitates calcium absorption by apple roots, comprising:

[0050] The vehicle body 1 has three feeding slots 2 equidistantly opened on its upper part, and each of the three feeding slots 2 is hinged with a cover plate 4.

[0051] Three fertilizer application components 5 are configured and installed inside the vehicle body 1, and each corresponds to one of the three feeding troughs 2;

[0052] The compaction component 6 is located at the rear of the vehicle body 1;

[0053] The vehicle body 1 is either automatically driven or manually driven. When it is automatically driven, it includes at least a drive device and a control device. When it is manually driven, it includes at least a pusher 3. The pusher 3 is fixed at the rear of the vehicle body 1 and is used to push the vehicle body 1 forward.

[0054] In other words, before fertilizing, a trenching device is needed to dig a ring trench near the drip line of the apple tree. This allows the device to simultaneously apply three layers of fertilizer within the ring trench, precisely matching the nutrient needs of the apple tree's root system at different depths (deep layer for root nourishment, middle layer for fertilization, and shallow layer for quick-acting fertilizer), thus avoiding fertilizer waste or root burn caused by traditional one-time fertilization.

[0055] It should be noted that the soil 72 after trenching needs to be piled on both sides of the ring trench to facilitate the equipment to carry out the soil pushing operation, complete the three-layer fertilizer layering, and achieve precise fertilization.

[0056] In this embodiment, the fertilization component 5 includes:

[0057] Two mounting brackets 51 are configured and symmetrically fixed inside the vehicle body 1;

[0058] The sliding frame 52 is slidably mounted on the fixed frame 51 and is limited by the limiting bolt 53;

[0059] The upper end of the feed inlet 54 is slidably disposed inside the vehicle body 1 and corresponds to the feeding trough 2;

[0060] The fertilizer discharge assembly 55 has its upper end fixed below the feed inlet 54, and its side wall fixed between the two sliding frames 52.

[0061] The bracket 56 is fixed to the side of the fertilizer discharge assembly 55 away from the forward direction of the vehicle body 1;

[0062] Two bulldozing components 57 are configured and symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bracket 56;

[0063] The leveling component 58 is mounted on the fertilizer discharge component 55.

[0064] In other words, the sliding adjustment of the sliding frame 52 allows the three fertilizer application components 5 to be misaligned in the horizontal direction, thereby adapting to the curvature of various annular grooves and avoiding interference between the fertilizer application components 5 and the inner wall of the annular groove.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the fertilizer discharge assembly 55 includes:

[0066] Fertilizer discharge device 551 is fixed below the feed inlet 54;

[0067] The drive shaft 552 is rotatably disposed within the fertilizer applicator 551 and is driven by a motor;

[0068] Fertilizer discharge pipe 553 is fixed to the discharge port of fertilizer discharger 551;

[0069] Two wind deflectors 554 are configured and symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the fertilizer discharge pipe 553.

[0070] Among them, the fertilizer discharger 551 is an existing device, and its specific structure and principle will not be described in detail here. When the fertilizer discharger 551 transports fertilizer, it is discharged through the fertilizer discharge pipe 553 and the wind baffle 554 blocks the wind from affecting the fertilizer, so as to prevent the fertilizer from being blown away by the wind and affecting the fertilizer from falling into the annular groove.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, the bulldozing assembly 57 includes:

[0072] The fixed compartment 571 is fixed on the bracket 56;

[0073] The sliding plate 572 is slidably disposed within the fixed chamber 571 and is subject to three limit bolts.

[0074] The bulldozer blade 573 is obliquely fixed on the sliding plate 572, and one end of it away from the forward direction of the vehicle body 1 is located above the trench 72.

[0075] The height of the bulldozer plate 573 can be adjusted by the sliding plate 572, ensuring that the soil 72 can be filled in three layers to separate the three layers of fertilizer, thereby preventing root burn, buffering fertilizer concentration, and guiding the root system to absorb fertilizer in layers through the separation of the soil 72, thus achieving targeted and precise fertilizer supply.

[0076] In other words, the height of the three bulldozers 573 decreases sequentially from the forward direction to the backward direction, thereby pushing and filling the soil 72 three times.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the leveling component 58 includes:

[0078] The rotating shaft 581 is rotatably mounted on the fertilizer applicator 551 and is connected to the drive shaft 552 by a chain.

[0079] A rotating column 582 is rotatably mounted on the fertilizer discharger 551, and a sliding column 583 is slidably mounted below it. The sliding column 583 is rotatably and slidably mounted between the two wind baffles 554. The sliding column 583 is limited to the rotating column 582 by a limiting bolt 584.

[0080] A flat plate 585 is laid and fixed to the side of the sliding column 583 away from the wind deflector 554;

[0081] The rotating column 582 and the rotating shaft 581 are driven by a linkage component.

[0082] In other words, the height of the paving plate 585 in the three paving components 58 increases sequentially from forward to backward, thereby ensuring that the deep fertilizer falls to the bottom of the ring groove first, realizing the three-layer application of fertilizer, and then paving is carried out by the paving plate 585 after application, improving the accuracy of fertilization.

[0083] In addition, a plurality of comb teeth 586 are provided below the paving plate 585, and the edge extension lines of the plurality of comb teeth 586 are arc-shaped.

[0084] In other words, the comb teeth 586 can cut into the soil 72 more easily, improving the leveling effect. Furthermore, the extended edges of multiple comb teeth 586 are arc-shaped, so that the front end of the comb teeth 586 levels the fertilizer and the rear end levels the soil 72.

[0085] It should be noted that the end of the bulldozer blade 573 is located in the middle of the comb teeth 586, which allows the higher side of the comb teeth 586 to level the falling soil 72.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, the linkage component includes:

[0087] The swash plate 587 is tilted and fixed on the rotating shaft 581, and an annular groove is provided in the middle of its outer wall.

[0088] The hinge rod 588 has one end slidably disposed in the annular groove by means of a spherical part, and the other end is hinged to one end of the adjusting column 589, the other end of which is slidably disposed in the rotating column 582.

[0089] Specifically, when the drive shaft 552 drives the rotating shaft 581 to rotate via the chain, the swashplate 587 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 581, thereby driving the hinge rod 588 to reciprocate (the hinge rod 588 is limited by the adjusting column 589 so that it can only move in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing the swing operation). The hinge rod 588 drives the rotating column 582 to swing through the adjusting column 589, and the rotating column 582 drives the sliding column 583 and the paving plate 585 to swing, thereby swinging and leveling the soil 72.

[0090] In this embodiment, the compaction component 6 includes:

[0091] Two rotating rods 61 are configured and symmetrically hinged to the vehicle body 1;

[0092] The telescopic rod is hinged at one end to the vehicle body 1 and at the other end to the rotating rod 61, and a pressing spring 62 is sleeved on the telescopic rod.

[0093] The compaction roller 63 is rotatably mounted between the two rotating rods 61.

[0094] Preferably, the compaction roller 63 is spindle-shaped.

[0095] In other words, the spindle-shaped compaction roller 63 ensures that the annular groove is pressed and contacted, preventing the sides of the annular groove from being too high to make contact.

[0096] In practice, a grove is dug at the drip line of the apple tree using a trenching device, and soil 72 is piled on both sides of the grove. Then, the positions of the three fertilization components 5 are adjusted to adapt to the curvature of the grove. The heights of the paving plate 585 and the bulldozing plate 573 are then adjusted. Fertilization begins, with fertilizer 73 and soil 72 falling into the grove in sequence to complete simultaneous three-layer fertilization, improving fertilization efficiency. At the same time, the compaction component 6 compacts the fertilizer to prevent it from being too loose, thus completing the precise fertilization operation.

[0097] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
