Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fertilization technology, specifically to a single-channel intelligent fertilizer applicator. Background Technology

[0002] Fertilization refers to the agricultural technique of applying fertilizer to the soil or spraying it on plants to provide the nutrients needed by the plants and to maintain and improve soil fertility. The main purpose of fertilization is to increase crop yield, improve crop quality, enrich the soil, and increase economic benefits. Therefore, rational and scientific fertilization is one of the main means to ensure food security and maintain sustainable agricultural development. The main basis for fertilization is the soil fertility level, crop type, target yield, climate environment, and fertilizer characteristics, thereby selecting appropriate fertilizers, estimating the required fertilizer amount, and determining the fertilization time and mode. A search revealed existing technology (Publication No.: CN202323049004.2) – a single-channel fertilizer applicator with adjustable fertilization depth. The text describes a fertilizer hopper with a sliding metering plate inside, a discharge port fixedly connected to the bottom of the carrier plate, and gear four meshing with the inner wall of the toothed belt. Two through holes are provided inside the carrier plate to allow space for the fertilizer and the toothed belt. The metering plate slides within the fertilizer hopper, effectively controlling the fertilizer flow rate to achieve the required amount of fertilizer for the crops. A rotating rod drives a screw plate to rotate, crushing any fertilizer clumps caused by damp weather, preventing blockage of the discharge port and ensuring uniform fertilization. However, in existing technologies, the metering plate cannot effectively control the fertilizer feeding position based on the crop location, resulting in a wide fertilization area and high fertilizer consumption.
