[0003] A search revealed a fertilizer applicator for potato planting, application number 202122602714.8. Its structure includes a trolley, a fertilizer pipe, and a flow regulating structure. The trolley has a discharge port on its bottom surface. The fertilizer pipe includes a main pipe and branch pipes. The main pipe is located at the front bottom of the trolley and connects to the discharge port. Two branch pipes are symmetrically arranged at an angle downwards on both sides of the main pipe, with their ends extending outside the trolley and having discharge nozzles at those ends. The flow regulating structure is located inside the main pipe. This application describes a trolley that can carry fertilizer, with a large single transport capacity, suitable for large areas of fertile land.

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a high-efficiency fertilizer applicator for potato planting, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the high-efficiency fertilizer applicator for potato planting includes: a support plate 1, on the top of which a water tank 2 for storing fertilizer is fixedly installed, and a hopper 12 is fixedly installed on the water tank 2; a water pump 3 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the water tank 2, a diversion pipe 4 fixedly installed on the discharge end of the water pump 3, and two connecting pipes 5 fixedly installed on the diversion pipe 4, one end of each of the two connecting pipes 5 extending to the outside of the water tank 2; two hoses 6 fixedly installed on the two connecting pipes 5 respectively, one end of each of the two hoses 6 fixedly installed with a spray pipe 7, and a nozzle 8 for applying fertilizer to potatoes fixedly installed on each of the two spray pipes 7; a mixing mechanism for mixing fertilizer installed on the water tank 2; and an adjustment mechanism mounted on the support plate 1 for moving the two spray pipes 7.
[0023] In this embodiment, during use, the required water and water-soluble fertilizer are added from the hopper 12 into the water tank 2. Then, the stirring mechanism is activated to mix the water and fertilizer in the water tank 2 to ensure the uniformity of the fertilizer solution. After mixing, the fertilizer applicator can be pushed to the potato planting area for fertilization. During fertilization, the water pump 3 is activated, and the water pump 3 will transport the mixed fertilizer in the water tank 2 to two connecting pipes 5 through the diversion pipe 4. The two connecting pipes 5 will then transport the fertilizer to two spray pipes 7 through two hoses 6, and finally discharge it from two nozzles 8 to fertilize the potatoes. The fertilizer discharge speed can be adjusted by controlling the power of the water pump 3. In order to fertilize a larger area of potatoes, the adjustment mechanism can be activated at the same time during fertilization. The adjustment mechanism will drive the two spray pipes 7 to move closer and further apart, and the two spray pipes 7 will drive the two nozzles 8 to move closer and further apart, which greatly increases the fertilization range of the two nozzles 8 and improves the fertilization effect on potatoes.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stirring mechanism includes: a rotating shaft 9 rotatably mounted on the water tank 2, with a plurality of stirring blades 10 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 9; and a servo motor 11 fixedly mounted on the top of the water tank 2, the output shaft of the servo motor 11 being fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 9.
[0025] In this embodiment, the stirring mechanism is used to mix fertilizer. When in use, the servo motor 11 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 9 to rotate. The rotating shaft 9 drives multiple stirring blades 10 to rotate, which can mix and stir the water and fertilizer put into the water tank 2, so that the fertilizer can be evenly mixed in the water, ensuring the uniformity of the fertilizer solution and the good mixing effect.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment mechanism includes: a dual-axis motor 13 fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 1, with screws 14 fixedly installed on both output shafts of the dual-axis motor 13; and two sleeves 15 respectively threaded onto the two screws 14, with the ends of the two sleeves 15 that are far apart from each other being fixedly connected to the two nozzles 7 respectively.
[0027] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism is used to move the two nozzles 7. When in use, the dual-axis motor 13 is started, which drives the two screws 14 to rotate. The two screws 14 drive the two sleeves 15 to move away from each other or closer to each other, thereby causing the two nozzles 7 to move the two nozzles 8 closer to each other or further away from each other, which greatly increases the fertilization range of the two nozzles 8 and improves the fertilization effect on potatoes.
[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the support plate 1 is provided with two sliding grooves, and a slider 16 is slidably installed on the inner wall of each of the two sliding grooves. The bottom of the two sliders 16 is fixedly connected to the two sleeves 15 respectively.
[0029] In this embodiment, the use of two sliding grooves and two sliders 16 in combination can ensure that the two sleeves 15 do not rotate during horizontal movement, thus ensuring the stability of the two nozzles 7 and the two nozzles 8 during movement.
[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a filter screen 17 is hinged to the hopper 12, and the filter screen 17 is used to filter water.
[0031] In this embodiment, the use of filter screen 17 can effectively filter impurities in the water when lake water, river water, or other water is needed to mix water-soluble fertilizers. When in use, simply rotate filter screen 17 to fasten it onto hopper 12.
[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of vertical plates 18 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the support plate 1, and each of the plurality of vertical plates 18 is rotatably mounted with a traveling wheel 19.
[0033] In this embodiment, the use of multiple vertical plates 18 and multiple wheels 19 makes it convenient for users to move the fertilizer applicator.
[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a controller is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 2, and a handrail is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 2.
[0035] In this embodiment, the use of the controller allows the user to easily control the fertilizer applicator, and the use of the handle allows the user to easily push the fertilizer applicator.
[0036] In summary, compared with related technologies, this solution, through the use of hopper 12, allows users to conveniently add the required water and water-soluble fertilizer to water tank 2. After addition, a stirring mechanism can be used to mix the water and fertilizer to obtain the appropriate fertilizer concentration. Through the use of water pump 3, the mixed fertilizer in water tank 2 can be transported to two spray pipes 7, and finally sprayed out from two nozzles 8 to fertilize the potatoes. Through the use of adjustment mechanism, the two spray pipes 7 can be moved closer to each other or further apart as needed. The two spray pipes 7 will move the two nozzles 8 closer to each other or further apart, greatly increasing the fertilization range of the two nozzles 8 and improving the fertilization effect on potatoes. This effectively solves the problems of existing fertilizer applicators for potato planting that cannot mix fertilizer and cannot adjust the fertilization position according to fertilization requirements.
