Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural fertilization equipment technology, and more specifically, to an equidistant fertilizer applicator for crop fertilizers. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, fertilizing crops is an important step to ensure good crop growth and increase yield. When sowing crops, a rotary tiller is usually used to loosen and prepare the soil first, and then a fertilizer applicator and a seeder are used to carry out fertilization and sowing operations respectively.

[0003] While existing facilities can apply fertilizers in a fixed manner, some fertilizer applicators have a fixed amount of fertilizer applied and lack adjustment mechanisms, making it inconvenient to use when fertilizing different crops.

[0004] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN222603032U discloses an equidistant fertilizer applicator for crops. This structure features a knob; rotating the knob rotates the shaft, first threaded rod, and second threaded rod, causing the threaded cap to move on the surfaces of the first and second threaded rods. A connecting rod adjusts the position of the partition within the groove, allowing adjustment of the storage capacity and thus the fertilizer application rate. This facilitates fertilization of different crops. Furthermore, positioning pins and holes allow adjustment of the position of the movable tube on the L-shaped discharge pipe, adjusting the fertilizer delivery distance to directly reach the roots. Finally, bolts and threaded holes, after adjusting the storage capacity of the groove, allow for threaded connection of one end of the bolt into the threaded hole, fixing the knob's position and preventing the partition from loosening.

[0005] However, in actual use, when multiple grooves spread fertilizer at equal intervals, the amount of fertilizer obtained by each groove may not be completely consistent due to factors such as the accumulation and flow of fertilizer in the storage cylinder, thus affecting the uniformity of fertilization and failing to guarantee that each crop receives the same amount of fertilizer. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An equidistant fertilizer applicator for crops includes a frame, a fertilizer barrel fixedly installed inside the frame, the bottom of the fertilizer barrel being conical, and multiple discharge pipes being provided through the bottom of the fertilizer barrel, with an equidistant mechanism installed inside the discharge pipes.

[0009] The equidistant mechanism includes a stepper motor fixedly installed on one side of the discharge pipe. The output end of the stepper motor is fixedly provided with a rotating shaft, and the surface of the rotating shaft is fixedly provided with multiple sealing blades.

[0010] A motor is fixedly installed on the top of the fertilizer tank, a rotating rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, a support bar is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame, a short stirring bar is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod, and multiple inclined stirring bars are fixedly installed on the surface of the short stirring bar.

[0011] A sealing layer is fixedly provided on the surface of the sealing leaf. One end of the rotating rod passes through the support bar and is rotatably connected to the support bar. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the discharge pipe and extends to the outside of the discharge pipe. Multiple fixing frames are fixedly provided on the surface of the discharge pipe. One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, equidistant fertilization is achieved, ensuring the uniformity and regularity of fertilization. Moreover, the sealing layer on the sealed leaf surface enhances the sealing performance, prevents fertilizer leakage, and improves the accuracy of fertilization.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the frame is provided with a stirring mechanism, the stirring mechanism includes a plurality of stabilizing bars fixedly disposed outside the rotating rod, a connecting bar fixedly disposed between the stabilizing bars, a scraper fixedly disposed on one side of the connecting bar, a connecting column fixedly disposed on one side of the connecting bar, the other end of the connecting column being connected to the rotating rod, and a plurality of stirring blades fixedly disposed outside the connecting column;

[0014] Multiple stirring frames are fixedly provided on the surface of the connecting strip, and a stirring rod is fixedly provided on one side of each stirring frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution: the stabilizing bar and connecting bar on the outside of the rotating rod form a stable structure, which enhances the overall stability of the mixing component and ensures the smooth operation of the mixing work. Moreover, the scraper on one side of the connecting bar can effectively scrape off the fertilizer adhering to the inner wall of the fertilizer bucket, avoid fertilizer residue, make full use of fertilizer, ensure smooth discharge, and can mix fertilizer from multiple angles, increase the mixing range, and improve the uniformity of fertilizer mixing.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution: a feed pipe is provided through the top of the fertilizer tank, a feed hopper is provided through the top of the feed pipe, a push handle is fixedly provided on one side of the frame, and multiple electric telescopic rods are fixedly provided at the bottom of the frame, with casters fixedly provided at the bottom of each of the multiple electric telescopic rods.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a spacious and convenient fertilizer addition channel is provided, which allows operators to quickly and efficiently pour fertilizer into the fertilizer tank, reducing the addition time and improving work efficiency.

[0018] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. By setting up an equidistant mechanism, compared with existing technologies, the conical design at the bottom of the fertilizer tank, combined with multiple discharge pipes, allows fertilizer to flow more smoothly to the discharge port. Combined with the stepper motor, rotating shaft, and sealing blade of the equidistant mechanism, precise equidistant fertilization can be achieved, ensuring the uniformity and regularity of fertilization. Secondly, the sealing layer on the surface of the sealing blade enhances the sealing performance, effectively preventing fertilizer leakage, reducing waste, and improving fertilization accuracy. Furthermore, the motor at the top of the fertilizer tank drives the rotating rod, short stirring strip, and inclined stirring strip to rotate, which can fully stir the fertilizer and avoid clumping, ensuring high-quality fertilization. Finally, the rotating connection between the rotating rod and the support strip, and between the rotating shaft and the fixed frame, greatly enhances the stability and reliability of the rotating parts, extends the service life of the equipment, reduces maintenance costs, and is highly practical.

[0020] 2. By incorporating a mixing mechanism, compared to existing technologies, the stabilizing and connecting strips enhance the stability of the mixing components, ensuring smooth mixing. The scraper removes fertilizer from the barrel wall, preventing residue. The connecting column, mixing blades, mixing frame, and mixing rod provide multi-angle, all-around mixing, breaking up clumps and ensuring more uniform fertilizer mixing, thus improving fertilization quality. It also facilitates fertilizer addition and enhances operational convenience. The ergonomically designed push handle allows operators to easily move the fertilizer applicator in the field and flexibly adjust the fertilization position. The electric telescopic rod, combined with casters, allows for flexible adjustment of the fertilizer applicator height according to crop height and terrain, adapting to different working environments. This improves the equipment's versatility and applicability, reduces operator workload, and increases fertilization efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] The embodiments disclosed in this application are as follows: Figure 1-5 The equidistant fertilizer applicator for crops shown includes a frame 1, a fertilizer tank 2 fixedly installed inside the frame 1, the bottom of the fertilizer tank 2 is conical, and multiple discharge pipes 3 are provided through the bottom of the fertilizer tank 2, with an equidistant mechanism installed inside the discharge pipes 3.

[0029] The equidistant mechanism includes a stepper motor 4 fixedly installed on one side of the discharge pipe 3. A rotating shaft 5 is fixedly installed at the output end of the stepper motor 4, and multiple sealing blades 6 are fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 5.

[0030] A motor 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the fertilizer tank 2. A rotating rod 8 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 7. A support bar 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. A short stirring bar 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod 8. Multiple inclined stirring bars 11 are fixedly installed on the surface of the short stirring bar 10.

[0031] A sealing layer 12 is fixedly provided on the surface of the sealing leaf 6. One end of the rotating rod 8 passes through the support bar 9 and is rotatably connected to the support bar 9. One end of the rotating shaft 5 passes through the discharge pipe 3 and extends to the outside of the discharge pipe 3. Multiple fixed frames 13 are fixedly provided on the surface of the discharge pipe 3. One end of the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 13.

[0032] When the motor 7 is started, the output end of the motor 7 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate. When the rotating rod 8 rotates, the short stirring bar 10 fixed at one end of it rotates accordingly. The multiple inclined stirring bars 11 on the surface of the short stirring bar 10 stir the fertilizer, making the fertilizer more evenly mixed and avoiding clumping.

[0033] At the same time, multiple stabilizing bars 14 fixed to the outside of the rotating rod 8 also rotate with the rotating rod 8, and the connecting bars 15 between the stabilizing bars 14 rotate accordingly. The scraper 16 on one side of the connecting bar 15 scrapes the inner wall of the fertilizer bucket 2 to prevent fertilizer from adhering to the inner wall and ensure that the fertilizer can fall smoothly.

[0034] And start the stepper motor 4. The output end of the stepper motor 4 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. Multiple sealing blades 6 on the surface of the rotating shaft 5 rotate with the rotating shaft 5. Since the sealing blades 6 have a sealing layer 12 on their surface, it can ensure that the fertilizer will not leak from other positions of the discharge pipe 3 during the rotation.

[0035] When the sealing leaf 6 rotates to align with the internal channel of the discharge pipe 3, the fertilizer in the fertilizer tank 2 will fall through the discharge pipe 3. As the sealing leaf 6 continues to rotate, the discharge pipe 3 will be sealed again, thereby achieving the effect of equidistant fertilization. That is, every time the sealing leaf 6 rotates a certain angle, the discharge pipe 3 opens once, and the fertilizer falls once, thus achieving the purpose of equidistant fertilization.

[0036] Reference Figure 2-4 As shown, the frame 1 is equipped with a stirring mechanism. The stirring mechanism includes multiple stabilizing bars 14 fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod 8. Connecting bars 15 are fixedly installed between the stabilizing bars 14. A scraper 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting bar 15. A connecting column 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting bar 15. The other end of the connecting column 17 is connected to the rotating rod 8. Multiple stirring blades 18 are fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting column 17.

[0037] Multiple stirring frames 19 are fixedly provided on the surface of the connecting strip 15, and a stirring rod 20 is fixedly provided on one side of the stirring frame 19;

[0038] The connecting post 17 on one side of the connecting strip 15 will also rotate with the connecting strip 15. Multiple stirring blades 18 on the outside of the connecting post 17 will further stir the fertilizer and improve the stirring effect. In addition, multiple stirring frames 19 on the surface of the connecting strip 15 and the stirring rod 20 on one side will also stir the fertilizer during the rotation, so that the fertilizer is fully mixed and stirred in the fertilizer tank 2.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , 5As shown, a feed pipe 21 is provided through the top of the fertilizer tank 2, a feed hopper 22 is provided through the top of the feed pipe 21, a push handle 23 is fixedly provided on one side of the frame 1, and multiple electric telescopic rods 24 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the frame 1, and universal wheels 25 are fixedly provided at the bottom of each of the multiple electric telescopic rods 24.

[0040] Add an appropriate amount of crop fertilizer into the fertilizer tank 2 through the feed hopper 22 and feed pipe 21. At this time, since the bottom of the fertilizer tank 2 is conical, the fertilizer will naturally accumulate at the bottom to prepare for subsequent discharge.

[0041] Next, adjust the length of the electric telescopic rod 24 at the bottom of the frame 1 according to the actual fertilization needs. Use the electric telescopic rod 24 to drive the frame 1 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the overall height of the fertilizer applicator to adapt to the height of different crops and terrain.

[0042] Working principle of this utility model:

[0043] This utility model is an equidistant fertilizer applicator for agricultural fertilizers. When the device is in use, an appropriate amount of agricultural fertilizer is added into the fertilizer tank 2 through the feed hopper 22 and the feed pipe 21. At this time, since the bottom of the fertilizer tank 2 is conical, the fertilizer will naturally accumulate at the bottom to prepare for subsequent discharge.

[0044] Next, adjust the length of the electric telescopic rod 24 at the bottom of the frame 1 according to the actual fertilization needs. Use the electric telescopic rod 24 to drive the frame 1 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the overall height of the fertilizer applicator to adapt to the height of different crops and terrain.

[0045] Then start the motor 7. The output end of the motor 7 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate. When the rotating rod 8 rotates, the short stirring bar 10 fixed at one end of it rotates accordingly. The multiple inclined stirring bars 11 on the surface of the short stirring bar 10 stir the fertilizer, making the fertilizer more evenly mixed and avoiding clumping.

[0046] At the same time, multiple stabilizing bars 14 fixed to the outside of the rotating rod 8 also rotate with the rotating rod 8, and the connecting bars 15 between the stabilizing bars 14 rotate accordingly. The scraper 16 on one side of the connecting bar 15 scrapes the inner wall of the fertilizer bucket 2 to prevent fertilizer from adhering to the inner wall and ensure that the fertilizer can fall smoothly.

[0047] Furthermore, the connecting post 17 on one side of the connecting strip 15 will also rotate with the connecting strip 15. The multiple stirring blades 18 on the outside of the connecting post 17 will further stir the fertilizer and improve the stirring effect. In addition, the multiple stirring frames 19 on the surface of the connecting strip 15 and the stirring rod 20 on one side will also stir the fertilizer during the rotation, so that the fertilizer is fully mixed and stirred in the fertilizer tank 2.

[0048] Then the staff pushes the handle 23, so that the fertilizer applicator moves to the fertilizer application position in the field via the caster wheel 25. Then the stepper motor 4 is started. The output end of the stepper motor 4 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. Multiple sealing blades 6 on the surface of the rotating shaft 5 rotate with the rotating shaft 5. Since the sealing blades 6 have a sealing layer 12 on their surface, it can be ensured that the fertilizer will not leak from other positions of the discharge pipe 3 during the rotation.

[0049] When the sealing leaf 6 rotates to align with the internal channel of the discharge pipe 3, the fertilizer in the fertilizer bucket 2 will fall through the discharge pipe 3. As the sealing leaf 6 continues to rotate, the discharge pipe 3 will be sealed again, thereby achieving the effect of equidistant fertilization. That is, every time the sealing leaf 6 rotates a certain angle, the discharge pipe 3 opens once, and the fertilizer falls once, thus achieving the purpose of equidistant fertilization.

[0050] After fertilization is completed, turn off motor 7 and stepper motor 4 to stop mixing and fertilization. If necessary, the length of electric telescopic rod 24 can be adjusted again to adjust the fertilizer applicator to a suitable height for easy storage and transportation.

[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
