Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to a soil covering device suitable for orchard fertilization. Background Technology
[0002] With the application of underground irrigation, fertilization technology, and multi-level land use technology in orchards, the demand for ditching in orchards is increasing.
[0003] Orchard soil often requires less tillage, resulting in surface clumping. Furthermore, irrigation necessitates deeper trenches, which conventional small-scale trenching equipment cannot meet. However, the dense arrangement of fruit trees in orchards prevents the use of large tractor-driven trenching equipment, making trenching complex and cumbersome, sometimes requiring manual excavation. This results in high labor intensity and low efficiency across large areas of orchard land. Utility Model Content
[0004] To ensure the accuracy of soil covering operations, this application provides a soil covering device suitable for orchard fertilization.
[0005] The soil covering device for orchard fertilization provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] include:
[0007] Base;
[0008] The soil covering mechanism is rotatably mounted on the base.

[0030] The second fixing seat is fixedly installed on the first shovel.
[0031] The pull rod has one end mounted on the first fixed seat and the other end rotatably mounted on the second fixed seat;
[0032] A damping spring is fitted onto the tie rod;
[0033] The pull rod is equipped with an adjusting nut for pressing the damping spring, and the first fixed seat has a slot for easy installation of the pull rod.
[0034] In one possible implementation, the first shovel is equipped with a guide rod, the two ends of which are rotatably mounted on the first connecting plate.
[0035] In one possible implementation, both the first and second shovels are equipped with insert plates that facilitate insertion into the soil, with the cross-section of the insert plates gradually decreasing from one end to the other.
[0036] In one possible implementation, the second thrust assembly includes:

[0044] The second connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the second limiting block.
[0045] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: In actual use, the base is connected to the hole-planting machine. After the hole-planting machine completes the hole-planting operation on the fruit trees, it transmits the hole-planting position information to the hole-planting and covering device. The first and second hydraulic cylinders push the first and second soil-lifting shovels to their corresponding positions. At this time, the cylinder pushes the support frame downward, making the first and second soil-lifting shovels in close contact with the ground. The hole-planting machine then moves, carrying soil into the hole. After completing the covering operation, all actuators return to their original state. The use of the first and second soil-lifting shovels to achieve a double-sided digging bucket design allows for automatic adjustment based on the hole position, ensuring the accuracy of the covering operation.

[0058] Both the first shovel 6 and the second shovel 7 are equipped with insert plates 11 for easy insertion into the soil. The cross-section of the insert plates 11 gradually decreases from one end to the other. This facilitates the insertion of the first shovel 6 and the second shovel 7 into the soil.
[0059] The support frame 5 includes a first support plate 12, a second support plate 13, and a third support plate 14. The second support plate 13 is symmetrically fixed on the first support plate 12, and the third support plate 14 is fixed on the second support plate 13.

[0062] Two adjustment components 10 are provided, one on the first shovel 6 and the other on the second shovel 7. Specifically, the adjustment component 10 includes a first fixed seat 26, a second fixed seat 27, a pull rod 28, a damping spring 29, and an adjusting nut 30. The first fixed seat 26 is fixedly mounted on the first connecting plate 19, and the second fixed seat 27 is fixedly mounted on the first shovel 6. One end of the pull rod 28 is rotatably mounted on the first fixed seat 26, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the second fixed seat 27. The damping spring 29 is sleeved on the pull rod 28. The pull rod 28 is provided with an adjusting nut 30 for pressing the damping spring 29. One end of the pull rod 28 has a threaded section that is threadedly connected to the adjusting nut 30. The first fixed seat 26 has a slot 31 for easy installation of the pull rod 28. The pressing amount of the damping spring 29 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjusting nut 30. The first shovel 6 and the second shovel 7 are each equipped with a guide rod 32, with both ends of the guide rod 32 rotatably mounted on the first connecting plate 19 or the second connecting plate 24. When encountering stones or hard materials, the first shovel 6 or the second shovel 7 will flip under the action of the damping spring 29, thereby effectively avoiding stones or hard materials and reducing the wear and tear on the first shovel 6 or the second shovel 7.
[0063] In actual use, the base 1 is connected to the hole-planting machine. After the hole-planting machine completes the hole-planting operation on the fruit trees, it transmits the hole-planting position information to the hole-planting and covering device. The first hydraulic cylinder 16 and the second hydraulic cylinder 21 push the first soil-lifting shovel 6 and the second soil-lifting shovel 7 to their corresponding positions. At this time, the cylinder 2 pushes the support frame 5 to flip down, so that the first soil-lifting shovel 6 and the second soil-lifting shovel 7 are in close contact with the ground. At this time, the hole-planting machine moves to bring the soil into the hole-planting hole. After the covering operation is completed, all the actuators return to their original state. The use of the first soil-lifting shovel 6 and the second soil-lifting shovel 7 to realize the double-sided digging bucket form can automatically adjust according to the position of the hole-planting hole to ensure the accuracy of the covering operation. Moreover, during the covering operation, the clamping amount of the damping spring 29 can be adjusted by adjusting the nut 30 according to the soil hardness, etc., to ensure the scraping force of the soil during the covering process. When mounted on the hole-planting machine, it can reduce the labor input of orchard management while performing precise covering, and further reduce production costs.
