Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage device technology, and in particular to a water-soluble fertilizer storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] Compared with traditional superphosphate and granulated compound fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers have significant advantages. Their main characteristics include low dosage, ease of use, low cost, rapid crop absorption, and extremely high nutrient utilization. Formulas can be designed according to the specific nutritional needs of crops, preventing fertilizer waste and resulting in a utilization rate approximately 2-3 times that of conventional compound chemical fertilizers (in China, the utilization rate of ordinary compound fertilizers is only 30%-40%). Secondly, water-soluble fertilizers are fast-acting, allowing growers to quickly see their effects and adjust the formula according to different crop growth stages. Furthermore, the application method is very simple; it can be applied along with irrigation water, including sprinkler and drip irrigation, saving water, fertilizer, and labor.

[0003] In order to prevent the water-soluble fertilizer from clumping and separating during storage, existing water-soluble fertilizers are generally equipped with a stirring structure to stir and mix them periodically. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221215445U discloses "a water-soluble fertilizer storage device", which is equipped with a stirring mechanism, a sealing ring, a cylindrical protrusion, a crank handle and a small round block. When the handle is turned, the circular cover block rotates, which in turn drives the middle column below to rotate. The stirring rods distributed on the outer wall of the middle column can stir the water-soluble fertilizer in the tank, thus achieving the effect of stirring and breaking up the water-soluble fertilizer clumping in the tank without opening the tank lid. By setting up a vibration component, in conjunction with a vertical rod and a straight groove block, the rectangular blocks on both sides of the tank continuously strike the side wall of the tank, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the water-soluble fertilizer clumping on the inner wall of the tank.

[0004] However, in actual use, the water-soluble fertilizer located at the bottom of the tank is difficult to be stirred by the stirring structure, which causes the water-soluble fertilizer at the bottom to always remain at the bottom and easily clump under the pressure of the water-soluble fertilizer above. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology, such as the difficulty in stirring water-soluble fertilizer located at the bottom of the tank, which easily leads to clumping, and to propose a water-soluble fertilizer storage tank.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a water-soluble fertilizer storage tank, including a tank body, an inlet pipe and a detection port on the tank body, a rotating shaft rotatably arranged inside the tank body, a stirring roller fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft, a lifting mechanism cooperating with the rotating shaft in the tank body, a motor cooperating with the rotating shaft fixedly arranged on the tank body, and a drying mechanism on the tank body;

[0008] The lifting mechanism includes auger blades fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, a lifting cylinder is fixedly installed inside the tank, the auger blades are inserted into the lifting cylinder, and a feed inlet is opened at the lower end of the lifting cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the drying mechanism includes an air inlet pipe and multiple air outlet pipes, an air inlet fan is installed inside the air inlet pipe, and the air inlet pipe is connected to the multiple air outlet pipes through connecting pipes.

[0010] Furthermore, a through groove is provided on the connecting pipe, and a drying device is installed in the through groove. The drying device is detachably connected to the connecting pipe by screws.

[0011] Furthermore, an installation sleeve is provided on the detection port, a sealing cover is provided on the installation sleeve, and a sealing ring is fixedly provided on the side of the sealing cover that contacts the installation sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, a connector is fixedly provided on the mounting sleeve, and a pressure rod is rotatably connected to the connector, the pressure rod being fixedly connected to the sealing cover.

[0013] Furthermore, a threaded post is rotatably provided on one side of the mounting sleeve, and a hand-tightening nut is threadedly connected to the threaded post. A connecting frame that mates with the threaded post is fixedly provided on the pressure rod, and the lower end of the hand-tightening nut abuts against the connecting frame.

[0014] The water-soluble fertilizer storage tank proposed in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] In this invention, a motor drives a rotating shaft to stir the water-soluble fertilizer inside the tank. During stirring, the auger blades rotate to lift the water-soluble fertilizer at the bottom of the tank upwards, thereby mixing it and preventing the water-soluble fertilizer at the bottom of the tank from accumulating and clumping over a long period of time.

[0016] Secondly, in this invention, an air intake pipe and an air intake fan are used to draw in air from inside the tank, and the air is dried by a drying device before being discharged into the tank, thus ensuring that the tank is dry. A detection port is provided to periodically extract some water-soluble fertilizer for testing, preventing fertilizer failure due to improper storage. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 A water-soluble fertilizer storage tank includes a tank body 1, a feed pipe 2 and a detection port 3 on the tank body 1, a discharge port at the lower end of the tank body 1, a rotating shaft 4 rotatably installed inside the tank body 1, a stirring roller 5 fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 4, a lifting mechanism 6 cooperating with the rotating shaft 4 inside the tank body 1, a motor 7 cooperating with the rotating shaft 4 fixedly installed on the tank body 1, and a drying mechanism 8 installed on the tank body 1.

[0024] The lifting mechanism 6 includes an auger blade 61 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4, and a lifting cylinder 62 fixedly installed inside the tank body 1. The auger blade 61 is inserted into the lifting cylinder 62, and a feed inlet 63 is opened at the lower end of the lifting cylinder 62.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 4 and the stirring roller 5 to rotate and stir the water-soluble fertilizer in the tank 1. During stirring, the auger blades 61 rotate accordingly, lifting the water-soluble fertilizer from the bottom of the tank 1 that enters from the feed inlet 63 upwards, thereby mixing it with the water-soluble fertilizer in the upper layers. This prevents the water-soluble fertilizer at the bottom of the tank 1 from accumulating and clumping over a long period of time. The drying mechanism 8 ensures that the tank 1 is dry. By setting the detection port 3, a portion of the water-soluble fertilizer can be extracted periodically for testing to avoid fertilizer failure due to improper storage.

[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drying mechanism 8 includes an air inlet pipe 81 and multiple air outlet pipes 82. An air inlet fan 83 is installed inside the air inlet pipe 81. The air inlet pipe 81 and the multiple air outlet pipes 82 are connected by a connecting pipe 84. The gas drawn in by the air inlet fan 83 re-enters the tank 1 along the air inlet pipe 81, the connecting pipe 84 and the air outlet pipes 82, forming an airflow circulation.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a through groove is provided on the connecting pipe 84, and a drying device 85 is provided in the through groove. The drying device 85 is detachably connected to the connecting pipe 84 by screws. The drying device 85 circulates and dries the airflow, and discharges the dried gas into the tank, thereby ensuring that the tank is dry. The drying device 85 is a drying box with through holes, and is filled with desiccant particles. When the airflow flows through the gaps between the through holes and the desiccant particles, the desiccant particles will absorb the moisture in the airflow, thereby achieving the drying process.

[0028] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the detection port 3 is provided with an installation sleeve 31, and the installation sleeve 31 is provided with a sealing cover 32. A sealing ring is fixedly provided on the side of the sealing cover 32 that contacts the installation sleeve 31. By providing the sealing cover 32, the detection port 3 is kept in a sealed state when it is not opened, so as to prevent external water vapor from affecting the water-soluble fertilizer in the tank 1.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a connector is fixedly provided on the mounting sleeve 31, and a pressure rod 33 is rotatably connected to the connector. The pressure rod 33 is fixedly connected to the sealing cover 32. The opening and closing of the sealing cover 32 can be controlled by controlling the pressure rod 33. The pressure rod 33 plays an auxiliary control role and forms a lever structure.

[0030] More specifically, in this embodiment, a threaded post 34 is rotatably provided on one side of the mounting sleeve 31, and a hand-tightening nut 35 is threadedly connected to the threaded post 34. A connecting frame 36 that mates with the threaded post 34 is fixedly provided on the pressure rod 33. The lower end of the hand-tightening nut 35 abuts against the connecting frame 36. The connecting frame 36 and the pressure rod 33 are fixed by the abutting of the hand-tightening nut 35 against the connecting frame 36, preventing the pressure rod 33 from loosening and causing a gap between the sealing cover 32 and the detection port 3.

[0031] Working method: During operation, the motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 4 and the stirring roller 5 to rotate and stir the water-soluble fertilizer in the tank 1. During stirring, the auger blades 61 rotate accordingly, lifting the water-soluble fertilizer from the bottom of the tank 1, which enters from the feed port 63, upwards to mix with the water-soluble fertilizer in the upper layers, thus preventing the water-soluble fertilizer at the bottom of the tank 1 from accumulating and clumping over a long period of time. The gas drawn in by the air intake fan 83 enters the tank 1 again along the air intake pipe 81, the connecting pipe 84, and the exhaust pipe 82, forming an airflow circulation. The airflow circulation is dried by the drying device 85, and the dried gas is discharged into the tank to ensure that the tank is dry. A portion of the water-soluble fertilizer can be extracted periodically through the detection port 3 for testing to avoid fertilizer failure due to improper storage.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
