This equipment uses the stirring mechanism to fully mix the solid fertilizer and irrigation water in the mixing cylinder, and automatically sprays the fertilizer through the pump and the spraying mechanisms on both sides of the pump.

[0004] However, in the aforementioned integrated machine, the height of the spraying mechanism is fixed, while the height of different crop seedlings and the height of crops at different growth stages are different. Therefore, the current equipment is not suitable for fertilization operations of various crops. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides an integrated water and fertilizer machine for use in smart agriculture.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] Furthermore, the second mounting bracket has connecting seats on both sides, and the end of the spray pipe near the second mounting bracket is rotatably connected to the connecting seat. The second mounting bracket is provided with a second drive assembly for driving the spray pipe to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the second drive assembly includes a second drive motor, a second lead screw, a transmission block, and a transmission rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0018] This application discloses an integrated water and fertilizer machine for use in smart agriculture, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a mobile vehicle body 1, which can be an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) with a computer-programmed route or a manually propelled flatbed cart. The mobile vehicle body 1 is equipped with a water-fertilizer mixing tank 2, a pump 3, and a spraying mechanism 4. The water-fertilizer mixing tank 2 holds a mixture of water and fertilizer. A rotatable stirring rod is mounted inside the tank, driven by a motor to mix the water and fertilizer evenly. The pump 3 has a water inlet pipe connected to its inlet end, with the other end connected to the bottom of the water-fertilizer mixing tank 2. The spraying mechanism 4 includes a first mounting bracket 41, a second mounting bracket 42, and spray pipes 43. The first mounting bracket 41 is integrally fixed to the mobile vehicle body 1. The second mounting bracket 42 is vertically and vertically mounted on the first mounting bracket 41. At least two spray pipes 43 are horizontally mounted on the second mounting bracket 42. The two spray pipes 43 are located on the same straight line and extend to both sides of the second mounting bracket 42 respectively. The outlet end of the extraction pump 3 is connected to the spray pipe 43 through a water outlet pipe, which can be a flexible hose, corrugated pipe, etc., so that the water outlet pipe can adapt to the height changes of the second mounting bracket 42. Several spray heads 431 are provided on the outer wall of each spray pipe 43. The spray heads 431 can be inclinedly connected to the outer wall of the spray pipe 43, so that when the spray pipe 43 sprays the crop, it is located on one side of the crop, avoiding interference between the spray pipe 43 and the crop. A first drive assembly for driving the second mounting bracket 42 to rise and fall is provided on the first mounting bracket 41.

[0019] In the actual operation of the water and fertilizer integrated machine, the first drive component drives the second mounting bracket 42 to rise and fall, which can adjust the height of the spray pipe 43, so that the water and fertilizer integrated machine can pass through crops of different heights. After the pump 3 pumps the water and fertilizer mixture into the spray pipe 43, it is sprayed from the spray head 431 to the crops below, thereby improving the crop fertilization efficiency.

[0020] Specifically, the first drive assembly can be a first drive motor 51 and a first lead screw 53. A first guide rod 52 is vertically mounted on the first mounting bracket 41. The first lead screw 53 is parallel to the first guide rod 52 and rotatably connected to the first mounting bracket 41. The first drive motor 51 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting bracket 41 by bolts and drives the first lead screw 53 to rotate. The first guide rod 52 slides through the second mounting bracket 42. A sleeve for the first lead screw 53 is vertically fixed on the second mounting bracket 42. The first lead screw 53 passes through the sleeve and is threadedly connected to it. By driving the first lead screw 53 to rotate through the first drive motor 51, the second mounting bracket 42 and its spray pipe 43 can be raised and lowered, allowing the spray pipe 43 to pass over crops of different heights, thus enabling fertilization of the crop roots.

[0021] Furthermore, the second mounting bracket 42 is provided with connecting seats 421 on both sides. Each spray pipe 43 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting seat 421 at the end near the second mounting bracket 42. The second mounting bracket 42 is provided with a second drive assembly for driving the spray pipe 43 to rotate. By enabling the spray pipe 43 to rotate relative to the second mounting bracket 42, when the fertigation machine moves between crops, the spray pipe 43 can be rotated to a horizontal position for fertilization when needed. After fertilization, the spray pipe 43 can be rotated to a vertical position, reducing the lateral space occupied by the fertigation machine and allowing the machine to pass between crops more quickly.

[0022] Specifically, the second drive assembly includes a second drive motor 422, a second lead screw 423, a transmission block 424, and a transmission rod 425. The second lead screw 423 is vertically and rotatably mounted on the second mounting bracket 42. The second drive motor 422 is bolted to the second mounting bracket 42 and is used to drive the second lead screw 423 to rotate. Guide frames are formed on both sides of the second lead screw 423 on the second mounting bracket 42. The transmission block 424 is vertically slidably connected to the guide frames. The second lead screw 423 passes through the transmission block 424 and is threadedly connected to the transmission block 424. One end of the transmission rod 425 is hinged to the transmission block 424, and the other end is hinged to the spray pipe 43. Symmetrical transmission rods 425 are provided on both sides of the transmission block 424, and the two transmission rods 425 are respectively connected to two spray pipes 43. By driving the second lead screw 423 to rotate, the transmission block 424 is raised and lowered relative to the second mounting bracket 42. The transmission block 424 pulls the spray pipe 43 to rotate through the transmission rod 425, thereby realizing the rotation operation of the spray pipe 43.

[0023] Furthermore, a first solenoid valve 44 is provided on the second mounting bracket 42. The water outlet pipe is connected to two spray pipes 43 through the first solenoid valve 44. The transmission rod 425 is detachably connected to the transmission block 424. A limiting component is provided on the second mounting bracket 42 to restrict the rotation of the spray pipe 43. The first solenoid valve 44 can be a valve group composed of multiple solenoid valves. Through the first solenoid valve 44, the water outlet pipe can be connected to two spray pipes 43 simultaneously, connected to any one of the spray pipes 43 individually, or closed. When fertilizing at the edge of the crop planting area, the water outlet pipe is connected to the spray pipe 43 closest to the crop through the solenoid valve. Then, the transmission rod 425 corresponding to the spray pipe 43 furthest from the crop is connected to the transmission block 424, and the rotation of the transmission rod 425 is restricted by the limiting component. This allows the spray pipe 43 closest to the crop to be rotated horizontally, reducing fertilizer waste during fertilization.

[0024] Specifically, the limiting component is a first pin 45. Both the transmission rod 425 and the transmission block 424 have corresponding through holes. By simultaneously passing the first pin 45 through the through holes on both the transmission rod 425 and the transmission block 424, the two are connected and hinged. The second mounting bracket 42 has a first through hole 46 that matches the first pin 45, and the transmission rod 425 has a second through hole 47. When the spray pipe 43 rotates upwards to a vertical position, the first through hole 46 aligns with the second through hole 47. After the first pin 45 passes through the through holes on the transmission rod 425 and the transmission block 424, or through the first through hole 46 on the second mounting bracket 42 and the second through hole 47 on the transmission rod 425, the first pin 45 can be prevented from disengaging by a spring-loaded latch or elastic spring bead.
