Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to a fertilizer application device for sugarcane. Background Technology

[0002] Sugarcane is an important agricultural product in my country. As a fertilizer-loving crop, sugarcane has a particularly high demand for nutrients during its growth cycle, especially during its elongation stage. Timely and appropriate scientific fertilization can significantly improve the growth rate and sugar content of sugarcane. In sugarcane production, the selection of superior sugarcane varieties is often emphasized, but fertilization management is quite extensive, leading to problems such as unreasonable fertilization, excessive application of fertilizers, unbalanced use of chemical fertilizers, and broadcasting without covering the soil. These issues increase the production cost of sugarcane. In the process of sugarcane cultivation, in order to ensure that sugarcane grows vigorously and achieves the expected yield and quality, timely and careful fertilization management is necessary. One crucial management measure is to apply fertilizer scientifically and rationally to sugarcane at regular intervals.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN202323379952.2 discloses a "fertilizer for sugarcane". In the solution provided by the patent, the operator holds the drive rod with one hand and the fertilizer tube with the other hand, aligns the fertilizer tube with the root of the sugarcane, and presses down the drive rod with the other hand. The drive rod drives the connecting block to rotate along the guide rod and squeeze the spring, thereby causing the feeding plate on the connecting shaft to rotate at a certain angle. The fertilizer falls into the fertilizer tube and then sprinkles onto the root of the sugarcane, thus completing the fertilization operation of the sugarcane.

[0004] Although this device represents an improvement over traditional methods, manual operation increases the operator's physical exertion, making it unsuitable for prolonged continuous work. Each fertilization step is independent and requires a certain amount of time, directly limiting the overall fertilization speed and resulting in low efficiency when large-scale fertilization is needed. Therefore, this application proposes a sugarcane fertilization device that can replace manual operation in the sugarcane fertilization process. Utility Model Content

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Figure 1 An embodiment of the sugarcane fertilization device of this utility model is shown. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the sugarcane fertilization device includes: a support mechanism 1, a soil breaking mechanism 2, and a fertilization mechanism 3.

[0031] Among them, see Figure 1The support mechanism 1 includes a horizontally arranged first support plate 11; the soil breaking mechanism 2 includes a soil breaking blade 21 suspended below the first support plate 11 and a vertically arranged support rod 22, the bottom end of the support rod 22 is connected to the soil breaking blade 21, and the top end of the support rod 22 extends through and out to the top surface of the first support plate 11; the fertilizer application mechanism 3 includes a box 31 located on one side of the first support plate 11, the box 31 having a hollow cavity 311, the bottom of the cavity 311 being connected to one end of a conduit 32, and the other end of the conduit 32 being located at the bottom end of the support rod 22. When sugarcane needs to be fertilized, the fertilization device provided in this embodiment is installed on agricultural machinery. The fertilizer is placed in the cavity 311 of the box 31, allowing the agricultural machinery to move in the sugarcane planting area. When the soil-breaking blade 21 approaches the target sugarcane, the control support rod 22 moves downward, so that the soil-breaking blade 21 extends into the soil near the sugarcane roots. At the same time, the fertilizer in the cavity 311 is transported to the soil near the soil-breaking blade 21 by the action of the guide tube 32, thereby replacing manual labor to complete the fertilization of the sugarcane roots.

[0032] Optionally, the end of the support rod 22 adjacent to the soil-breaking blade 21 is a tubular structure, and the bottom end of the soil-breaking blade 21 has a hollow part that is connected to the tubular structure. At the same time, the end of the guide tube 32 away from the box 31 is connected to the tubular structure. When the soil-breaking blade 21 extends into the soil and moves linearly with the agricultural machinery, the fertilizer in the box 31 can be continuously output through the structure of the guide tube 32 connected to the support rod 22 and the support rod 22 connected to the soil-breaking blade 21, so that the trajectory of the soil-breaking blade 21 is fertilized.

[0033] Optionally, the soil-breaking blade 21 has a plow head structure with a sharp head and an upward-curved tail, so that while the soil-breaking blade 21 is moving with the agricultural machinery, the soil that has been turned up can fall back to the path that the soil-breaking blade 21 has taken, which can achieve fertilization of the soil around the sugarcane roots and burying of the applied fertilizer.

[0034] Further, see Figure 2 The soil-breaking mechanism 2 also includes a lead screw 23 standing on the top surface of the first support plate 11. The end of the support rod 22 away from the soil-breaking blade 21 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 24. The bottom end of the lead screw 23 is rotatably connected to the first support plate 11. The top end of the lead screw 23 is threaded through the connecting plate 24 and connected to a first driving member. The first driving member is controlled to rotate the lead screw 23 around its own axis, thereby driving the connecting plate 24, the support rod 22 and the soil-breaking blade 21 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 23, thereby completing the process of pushing the soil-breaking blade 21 into the soil.

[0035] Optionally, the first driving component is a motor, and the motor shaft 37 is coaxially connected to the top end of the lead screw 23. By controlling the motor to do work, the lead screw 23 is driven to rotate around its own axis.

[0036] Further, see Figure 2The support mechanism 1 also includes a second support plate 12 standing on the first support plate 11. The side of the first support plate 11 adjacent to the housing 31 is vertically connected to the bottom end of the second support plate 12. The second support plate 12 is provided with a linear groove 121 arranged along the axial direction of the lead screw 23. One end of the connecting plate 24 adjacent to the housing 31 is interference-fitted with the groove and extends into the groove to limit the connecting plate 24, so that the connecting plate 24 can only move along the axial direction of the lead screw 23.

[0037] Further, see Figure 3 The support mechanism 1 also includes a fixed frame 13 and a support plate 14. The side of the second support plate 12 away from the lead screw 23 is connected to the two fixed frames 13 respectively. The box body 31 is located between the two fixed frames 13. At least one support plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the box body 31. Each support plate 14 is connected to the two fixed frames 13 respectively to support the box body 31.

[0038] Optionally, the box body 31 is a cylindrical structure. A fixing frame 13 is provided on each side of the box body 31 in the horizontal plane. Each fixing frame 13 is connected to the second support plate 12. At least one support plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the box body 31. Each support plate 14 is an arc plate. The two ends of each support plate 14 are connected to the two fixing frames 13 respectively. The inner arc surface of each support plate 14 is interference-fitted with the side wall of the box body 31, thereby fitting and supporting the bottom of the box body 31.

[0039] In this embodiment, when fertilizing the sugarcane roots, the fertilization device provided in this embodiment is first installed on the agricultural machinery, with the fertilizer placed inside the housing 31. Next, the first driving component is controlled to push the soil-breaking blade 21 into the soil near the target sugarcane roots. Finally, the agricultural machinery is driven to move along the planned path, and the soil-breaking blade 21 moves with the machinery. The fertilizer inside the housing 31 is continuously transported to the space near the soil-breaking blade 21 through the conduit 32, ensuring that the path traversed by the soil-breaking blade 21 is fertilized. This replaces manual fertilization of the sugarcane roots and reduces human intervention, thus improving fertilization efficiency.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] To ensure a uniform fertilizer output rate, based on the above embodiments, see [link to previous section]. Figure 4 The fertilization mechanism 3 also includes a stirring rod 33 and a stirring blade 34 disposed in the cavity 311.

[0042] Among them, see Figure 4One end of the stirring rod 33 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 311, and the other end of the stirring rod 33 extends through to the outside of the housing 311 and is connected to a second driving member. The side wall of the portion of the stirring rod 33 inside the cavity 311 is connected to one end of at least one stirring blade 34, and the other end of each stirring blade 34 extends towards the wall of the cavity 311. The second driving member is driven to perform work to rotate the stirring rod 33 around its own axis, thereby rotating each stirring blade 34, thus agitating the fertilizer in the cavity 311 and preventing the fertilizer in the cavity 311 from accumulating and reducing or interrupting the flow of fertilizer into the conduit 32.

[0043] Further, see Figure 4 The cavity 311 is a horizontally arranged cylindrical structure, and the stirring rod 33 is coaxial with the cavity 311.

[0044] Optionally, the second driving component is a motor. The motor's shaft 37 is coaxially connected to the end of the stirring rod 33 extending outside the housing 31. By controlling the motor to perform work, the stirring rod 33 is driven to rotate around its own axis, thereby agitating the fertilizer inside the housing 31. The second driving component can also be a structure of a wheel connected to a conveyor belt. The end of the stirring rod 33 extending outside the housing 31 is coaxially connected to a wheel. This wheel is connected to the drive structure of the agricultural machinery via a conveyor belt, and the power of the agricultural machinery drives the lead screw 23 to rotate around its own axis.

[0045] Further, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The fertilization mechanism 3 also includes a baffle 35 disposed on the inner wall of the cavity 311, and a pressure plate 36 disposed on the end of each stirring blade 34 away from the stirring rod 33. One end of each pressure plate 36 is rotatably connected to its corresponding stirring blade 34 via a rotating shaft 37, and the other end of each pressure plate 36 is in contact with the inner wall of the cavity 311. Torsion springs 38 are provided at both ends of the axial direction of each rotating shaft 37. When the stirring blade 34 rotates with the stirring rod 33, each pressure plate 36 contacts the baffle 35 respectively, changing the included angle between them. At the same time, the torsion springs 38 can restore the included angle between the stirring blade 34 and the pressure plate 36 to its original state. Through repeated stirring in this way, clumps or large pieces of fertilizer in the cavity 311 can be crushed, allowing the end of the conduit 32 away from the box 31 to output fertilizer evenly.

[0046] Further, see Figure 6 The top of the box 31 is provided with an opening communicating with the cavity 311 and a cover 39 is hinged thereto. The inner end face of the cover 39 is an arc surface with an inner diameter that is the same as the inner diameter of the cavity 311. The outer end face of the cover 39 is connected to a handle 391 so as to add fertilizer to the cavity 311 of the box 31.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second driving component is controlled to perform work to drive the stirring rod 33 to rotate around its own axis, and drive the stirring blade 34 to rotate with the stirring rod 33. In this way, the fertilizer in the cavity 311 is stirred, avoiding the accumulation of fertilizer in the cavity 311 in a certain position, which would reduce or interrupt the flow of fertilizer into the guide tube 32, so that the amount of fertilizer output from the guide tube 32 is uniform, and ensuring that the amount of fertilizer applied along the trajectory of the soil breaking blade 21 at a uniform speed is close to consistent.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
