Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] See Figures 1-5 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0027] First embodiment: A coffee planting quantitative irrigation device, including a cart 1, with an irrigation mechanism 2 installed on the top surface of the cart 1 for irrigating coffee trees, the irrigation mechanism 2 including:

[0028] A mixing assembly 21 is disposed on the top surface of the cart 1 for mixing water and fertilizer. The mixing assembly 21 includes a mixing box 211 fixedly installed on the top surface of the cart 1.

[0029] The irrigation component 22 is installed on the top surface of the cart 1 for spraying water and fertilizer;

[0030] A metering component 23, located on the top surface of the mixing chamber 211, controls the amount of fertilizer fed. The metering component 23 includes a fixed plate 231 fixedly installed on the left side of the top surface of the mixing chamber 211. The rear side of the fixed plate 231 is an acrylic transparent plate. A feeding pipe 2311 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the fixed plate 231. A DC motor 232 is fixedly installed on the front side of the fixed plate 231. A movable plate 239 is movably installed inside the fixed plate 231. Several storage slots 2310 are formed on the outer side of the movable plate 239, and these storage slots 2310 can be evenly distributed circumferentially on the movable plate 231. On the outer side of the fixed plate 231, a feeding frame 235 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixed plate 231. A feeding hopper 238 is movably installed on the top surface of the feeding frame 235. A vibration assembly is provided on the outer side of the fixed plate 231 to prevent waste material from clogging the feeding port of the feeding hopper 238. The vibration assembly includes a mounting bracket 233 fixedly installed on the left side of the fixed plate 231. A second drive motor 234 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting bracket 233. A cam 236 is fixedly installed on the output end of the second drive motor 234. Limiting grooves 2314 are opened on both the left and right sides of the top surface of the feeding frame 235. An internal movable limit block 2312 is installed. Springs 2313 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the limit groove 2314. A connecting plate 237 is fixedly installed on the left side of the discharge hopper 238. The output end of the DC motor 232 movably passes through the front side of the fixed plate 231 and is fixedly installed on the front side of the movable plate 239. Starting the DC motor 232 can drive the movable plate 239 to rotate. At this time, the movable plate 239 will discharge materials through several storage troughs 2310. The bottom end of the fixed plate 231 passes through the top surface of the mixing box 211 and extends into the interior of the mixing box 211. The outer side of the cam 236 The cam 236 rotates when the second drive motor 234 is activated, which is close to the front side of the connecting plate 237. This causes the hopper 238 to move through the connecting plate 237. At the same time, the spring force of the spring 2313 will drive the limit block 2312 to reset the feeding frame 235. This allows the feeding frame 235 to move back and forth, making the feeding of the hopper 238 more uniform and preventing the storage trough 2310 from being filled and affecting the accuracy of feeding. The top surface of the limit block 2312 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the feeding frame 235, and the opposite end of the spring 2313 is fixedly installed on the outside of the limit block 2312.

[0031] The accuracy of fertilizer addition can be improved by using the cam 236 and the movable disc 239. When in use, the fertilizer is poured into the storage hopper 238, and then the DC motor 232 is started to drive the movable disc 239 to rotate. At this time, the fertilizer will fall into the storage tank 2310. When it rotates to the appropriate position, the fertilizer will fall into the mixing box 211 through the discharge pipe 2311. At the same time, the second drive motor 234 is started to drive the cam 236 to rotate and move the discharge hopper 238 through the connecting plate 237. At the same time, the elastic force of the spring 2313 will drive the limit block 2312 to reset the discharge frame 235, so that the discharge frame 235 can move back and forth to make the discharge of the hopper 238 more uniform and avoid affecting the accuracy of the discharge.

[0032] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the mixing assembly 21 further includes a first drive motor 213 fixedly installed on the top surface of the mixing tank 211. A stirring rod 212 is movably installed inside the first drive motor 213. A water tank 215 is fixedly installed on the right side of the top surface of the mixing tank 211. A valve pipe 214 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the water tank 215. A level gauge 216 is fixedly installed inside the water tank 215, and the level gauge 216 can monitor the water level in the water tank 215. The output end of the first drive motor 213 movably penetrates the top surface of the mixing tank 211 and is fixedly installed on the top of the stirring rod 212. Starting the first drive motor 213 can drive the stirring rod 212 to rotate and mix the fertilizer and water. The valve pipe 214... The bottom end of 14 penetrates the top surface of the mixing box 211 and extends into the interior of the mixing box 211. The irrigation assembly 22 includes a water pump 223 fixedly installed on the top surface of the trolley 1. A water outlet pipe 222 is fixedly installed at the input end of the water pump 223, and a connecting pipe 224 is fixedly installed at the output end of the water pump 223. An irrigation pipe 221 is fixedly installed on the left side of the mixing box 211. One end of the connecting pipe 224 penetrates the bottom surface of the irrigation pipe 221 and extends into the interior of the irrigation pipe 221. The right end of the water outlet pipe 222 penetrates the left side of the mixing box 211 and extends into the interior of the mixing box 211. When the water pump 223 is started, fertilizer water can be drawn out of the interior of the mixing box 211 through the water outlet pipe 222 and poured into the connecting pipe 224 and into the interior of the irrigation pipe 221 to irrigate the coffee trees.

[0033] The mixing rod 212 and water tank 215 can be used to mix water and fertilizer. When in use, the water pipe is connected to the inlet of the water tank 215 to fill the water tank 215 with water. Then the level gauge 216 will monitor the water level. When the appropriate amount of water is reached, the external water supply is turned off, and then the valve pipe 214 is opened to let the water flow into the mixing tank 211. Then the metering component 23 will add fertilizer into the mixing tank 211. Then the first drive motor 213 is started to drive the mixing rod 212 to rotate and mix the water and fertilizer evenly. It is convenient, quick and easy and has good practicality.

[0034] Furthermore, all content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited; conventional equipment can be used.

[0035] In use, the user pours fertilizer into the storage hopper 238, then connects the water pipe to the inlet of the water tank 215 to fill it with water. The level gauge 216 monitors the water level. When the appropriate water level is reached, the external water supply is shut off, and then the valve pipe 214 is opened to allow water to flow into the mixing tank 211. Next, the DC motor 232 is started to rotate the movable disc 239, causing the fertilizer to fall into the storage trough 2310. When the disc reaches the appropriate position, the fertilizer falls into the mixing tank 211 through the discharge pipe 2311. Simultaneously with the mixing process, the second drive motor 234 is started to rotate the cam 236. The connecting plate 237 moves the feeding hopper 238, and the spring force of the spring 2313 drives the limit block 2312 to reset the feeding frame 235, so that the feeding frame 235 can move back and forth to make the feeding hopper 238 feed more evenly. When the appropriate amount is reached, the DC motor 232 is turned off to stop feeding. The first drive motor 213 is started to drive the stirring rod 212 to rotate and mix the water and fertilizer evenly. Then the water pump 223 is started to draw the fertilizer water out of the mixing box 211 through the water outlet pipe 222. After being pressurized by the water pump 223, it is transported to the irrigation pipe 221 through the connecting pipe 224 and sprayed to irrigate the coffee trees.
