Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural production or warehousing and logistics technology, and in particular to a fertilizer transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] Fertilizers are substances that provide one or more essential nutrients for plants, improve soil properties, and enhance soil fertility. They are one of the material foundations of agricultural production. They mainly include ammonium phosphate fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers containing macronutrients, fertilizers containing micronutrients, bio-fertilizers, organic fertilizers, and multi-dimensional energy-concentrated organic fertilizers.
[0003] Currently, forklifts are the most frequently used transfer tool in fertilizer production. However, forklifts have a large turning radius, making them extremely inconvenient to operate in complex warehouse layouts and narrow aisles, hindering their ability to flexibly move between storage areas. Furthermore, forklifts have relatively fixed routes and mostly operate in flat, open areas, making them ineffective in areas with undulating or irregular terrain. In addition, forklifts themselves have high energy consumption, which increases operating costs over time. Therefore, we propose a fertilizer transfer device to solve these problems.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 A fertilizer transfer device includes an elliptical track plate 1 and multiple U-shaped movable plates 2, with multiple mounting rods 9 fixedly installed on the top of the elliptical track plate 1.
[0023] To further explain, the mounting rod 9 on the top of the elliptical track plate 1 facilitates the installation of the entire elliptical track plate 1 in a suitable location, such as the roof of a factory, so that the transfer device can be reasonably arranged within a certain space and adapt to different working environments.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a transfer mechanism is provided on the U-shaped moving plate 2; the transfer mechanism includes two rotating wheels 3 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped moving plate 2, the rotating wheels 3 are rolled along the top of the elliptical track plate 1, two arc racks 4 and two straight racks 5 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the elliptical track plate 1, the two arc racks 4 and the two straight racks 5 are fixedly connected end to end in sequence to form an elliptical rack structure, a servo motor 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped moving plate 2, a gear 7 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the servo motor 6, the gear 7 is meshed with both the arc racks 4 and the straight racks 5, and a lifting hook 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped moving plate 2.
[0025] To further explain, the elliptical track plate 1 and the U-shaped moving plate 2 work together to allow the transfer device to run along an elliptical trajectory, suitable for fertilizer storage areas with different layouts, improving transfer flexibility. The rotating wheel 3 in the transfer mechanism rolls along the top of the elliptical track plate 1, ensuring the stable movement of the U-shaped moving plate 2. The servo motor 6 drives the gear 7 to mesh with the elliptical rack structure, providing power for the movement of the U-shaped moving plate 2 and realizing automated transfer. The lifting hook 8 at the bottom of the U-shaped moving plate 2 facilitates the hanging of fertilizer, making fertilizer transfer convenient.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped movable plate 2, and a rotating wheel 3 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft.
[0027] To further explain, by connecting the rotating wheel 3 through the rotating shaft, the rotating wheel 3 rotates more smoothly, reducing friction and wear during operation, improving the stability and service life of the transfer mechanism, and thus ensuring the stable operation of the fertilizer transfer device.
[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the meshing pitch of gear 7 is equal to the meshing pitch of circular arc rack 4 and the meshing pitch of spur rack 5. The distance between the outermost meshing teeth of adjacent spur rack 5 and the outermost meshing teeth of circular arc rack 4 is the same as the meshing pitch of spur rack 5.
[0029] To further explain, the meshing pitch of gear 7 with the circular arc rack 4 and the straight rack 5 is equal, ensuring that gear 7 can smoothly mesh and transmit power throughout the entire elliptical rack structure, avoiding problems such as jamming and impact, and ensuring the smoothness and continuity of the transfer process.
[0030] To further explain, the distance between the outermost meshing teeth of the adjacent spur rack 5 and the circular arc rack 4 is the same as the meshing tooth pitch of the spur rack 5, which ensures that the gear 7 can mesh smoothly at the transition point between the spur rack 5 and the circular arc rack 4, further improving the stability of the transmission.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a stabilizing mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the U-shaped moving plate 2. The stabilizing mechanism includes two fixing slots 10 opened on the inner wall of the U-shaped moving plate 2. A concave frame 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing slot 10. A stabilizing cylinder 12 that contacts the side wall of the elliptical track plate 1 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the concave frame 11. The fixing slots 10 and the concave frame 11 are fixedly connected by a spring 13.
[0032] To further explain, the fixing groove 10, concave frame 11, stabilizing cylinder 12 and spring 13 in the stabilizing mechanism cooperate with each other. The stabilizing cylinder 12 contacts the side wall of the elliptical track plate 1 and can play an auxiliary support and guiding role when the U-shaped moving plate 2 moves. The spring 13 provides buffering force to reduce the shaking and vibration when the U-shaped moving plate 2 moves, enhance the stability of the transfer device, and prevent fertilizer from falling off due to shaking during the transfer process.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the two fixing slots 10 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side wall of the U-shaped moving plate 2.
[0034] To further explain, this makes the supporting and stabilizing effect of the stabilizing mechanism on the U-shaped moving plate 2 more balanced, further improving the stability of the U-shaped moving plate 2 during movement and ensuring the safe and reliable transfer of fertilizer.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the concave frame 11, and a stabilizing cylinder 12 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft.
[0036] To further explain, this makes the stabilizing cylinder 12 rotate more smoothly when it contacts the side wall of the elliptical track plate 1, reduces the friction between the stabilizing cylinder 12 and the side wall of the track plate, and improves the working efficiency and service life of the stabilizing mechanism.
[0037] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:
[0038] Start-up device: When the power supply to the servo motor 6 is turned on, the servo motor 6 starts to work, and the output shaft of the servo motor 6 drives the fixedly sleeved gear 7 to rotate.
[0039] Adjusting the position of the U-shaped moving plate 2: Since the gear 7 is meshed with the elliptical rack structure at the bottom of the elliptical track plate 1 (composed of two circular arc racks 4 and two straight racks 5 fixedly connected end to end), the U-shaped moving plate 2 will move along the elliptical track plate 1 under the drive of the rotation of the gear 7. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor 6, the position of the U-shaped moving plate 2 on the elliptical track can be adjusted so that it moves above the position where fertilizer needs to be transferred.
[0040] Fertilizer mounting: After the U-shaped moving plate 2 is moved to the designated position, connect the fertilizer to the lifting hook 8 fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped moving plate 2 to ensure that the fertilizer is securely mounted and prevent it from falling during transportation.
[0041] Fertilizer Transfer: The servo motor 6 is restarted, and the U-shaped moving plate 2 continues to move along the elliptical track plate 1 under the meshing transmission of the gear 7 and the elliptical rack structure, thereby transporting the loaded fertilizer to the designated location. During the movement, the rotating wheel 3, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped moving plate 2, rolls along the top of the elliptical track plate 1 to ensure the smoothness of the movement; at the same time, the stabilizing mechanism set on the inner wall of the U-shaped moving plate 2 includes a fixing groove 10, a concave frame 11, a stabilizing cylinder 12, and a spring 13. The stabilizing cylinder 12 contacts the side wall of the elliptical track plate 1, and under the buffering effect of the spring 13, the shaking and vibration of the U-shaped moving plate 2 during movement are reduced, further ensuring the stability of fertilizer transfer.
[0042] Unloading fertilizer: After the U-shaped moving plate 2 moves to the fertilizer unloading location, the servo motor 6 stops running, and the fertilizer is removed from the lifting hook 8, completing the fertilizer transfer work.
[0043] 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.
