[0023] In this embodiment, the frame 1 serves as the support and mobile foundation for the entire equipment, bearing all other components and enabling the equipment to move and operate in the medicinal herb planting area. The mounting frame 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and the rotating motor 3 is installed on one side of the mounting frame 2. Its output shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 4, providing power to the rotating rod 4 and enabling the rotation of the tilling blade 5. The tilling blade 5, mounted on the rotating rod 4, turns over the soil as the rotating rod 4 rotates, effectively loosening the soil, reducing manual labor intensity, and improving soil loosening efficiency. The storage box 6 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1 and is used to store fertilizer, providing a fertilizer source for subsequent fertilization operations. The discharge pipe 7 is located at the bottom of the storage box 6 and is used to discharge fertilizer from the storage box 6. To facilitate fertilization, a metering valve 8 is installed on the feed pipe 7 to control the flow rate of fertilizer, ensuring uniformity and accuracy. The fertilizer sieve box 9 is located on the frame 1, behind the soil-turning blade 5. It has multiple holes at the bottom to evenly sieve fertilizer into the soil. Guide rods 10 fixed on both sides slide through the frame 1 to ensure the stability of the fertilizer sieve box 9 during movement. The drive mechanism is located on the frame 1 to move the fertilizer sieve box 9, evenly sieving fertilizer into the soil. This allows for simultaneous fertilization and soil loosening, further improving work efficiency. The high degree of automation reduces manual labor intensity and improves work efficiency. The soil loosening is uniform and the depth is controllable, which is beneficial to the growth of Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drive mechanism includes a mounting box 11, a cam 12, a drive motor 13, and a wheel 14. The mounting box 11 is fixedly mounted on one side of the frame 1. The cam 12 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting box 11. The drive motor 13 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting box 11, and its output shaft is fixed to the cam 12. The wheel 14 is rotatably mounted on one end of the guide rod 10 and contacts the cam 12.

[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting box 11 is fixedly mounted on one side of the frame 1, and the cam 12 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting box 11. One end of the cam 12 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 13 and rotates with the drive motor 13. The profile of the cam 12 is designed to make intermittent contact with the wheel 14, thereby driving the wheel 14 and the connected fertilizer screening box 9 to reciprocate. When the drive motor 13 starts, its output shaft drives the cam 12 to rotate. As the cam 12 rotates, its contact point with the wheel 14 changes continuously, thereby generating intermittent thrust. This thrust is transmitted to the fertilizer screening box 9 through the wheel 14, causing it to reciprocate along the guide rod 10. During the movement of the fertilizer screening box 9, fertilizer is evenly dropped from the storage box 6 into the fertilizer screening box 9 through the discharge pipe 7 and the metering valve 8, and is evenly screened into the soil through the holes at the bottom of the fertilizer screening box 9. Through the design of the drive mechanism, the fertilizer is automatically and evenly screened into the soil, reducing the labor intensity of manual fertilization and improving fertilization efficiency.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a hydraulic rod 15 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and the output rod of the hydraulic rod 15 is fixed to the mounting bracket 2.
