Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fertilizer applicator technology, and in particular relates to an agricultural fertilizer applicator. Background Technology

[0002] Fertilization refers to the application of fertilizers to the soil or spraying them on plants to provide the nutrients needed by the plants and to maintain and improve soil fertility. In agricultural production, fertilization is a key measure to increase crop yield, improve crop quality, enrich soil fertility, and improve economic benefits. Depending on the timing of fertilization, it can be divided into base fertilizer and top dressing. Depending on the fertilization method, it can be divided into broadcasting, fertigation, hole application, and strip application.

[0003] In the traditional agricultural fertilization process, uneven fertilizer application can lead to nutrient accumulation in local areas or insufficient water usage during irrigation after fertilization. These issues can cause a significant increase in soil solution osmotic pressure, making it prone to fertilizer damage such as seedling burn and root damage. In addition, traditional fertilization tools are usually single-nozzle atomizers with a fixed coverage area, making it difficult to adjust for different crops. Furthermore, the atomization density at the edges is significantly reduced, resulting in poor fertilization uniformity and affecting crop yield. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to propose an agricultural fertilizer applicator to solve the problems of uneven fertilization and fertilizer waste.

[0007] The mixing and conveying component includes a conveying pipe, a suspension frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveying pipe, a rotating shaft is provided inside the conveying pipe, a spiral blade is connected around the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft, and the top of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The counter-flushing atomizing component includes a connecting rod. A first connecting frame and a second connecting frame are rotatably connected to one end and the middle of the connecting rod, respectively. The first connecting frame is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod via a pin, and the second connecting frame is rotatably connected to the middle of the connecting rod via a pin. Two guide wheels are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod on the side away from the DC nozzle. A counter-flushing nozzle is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod on the side closer to the DC nozzle via the rod body. An infusion tube is connected to the bottom end of the counter-flushing nozzle. One end of the infusion tube passes through the two guide wheels in sequence and is connected to the horizontal tube of the four-way pipe.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The outer wall of the first positioning ring is surrounded by multiple fixing blocks, and the outer walls on both sides of the fixing blocks are rotatably connected to the first connecting frame via rotating shafts. The outer wall of the second positioning ring is surrounded by multiple protrusions, and the outer walls on both sides of the protrusions are rotatably connected to the second connecting frame via rotating shafts.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The counter-current nozzles are arranged around the outside of the DC nozzle along the axis, and the intersection point of the axes of the three counter-current nozzles is always on the axis of the DC nozzle.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The included angle between the three adjacent horizontal pipes below the four-way pipe is 120 degrees, and the included angle between the adjacent axes of the three opposing nozzles is 120 degrees.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, fertilizer water flows into the DC nozzle through the four-way pipe horizontal tube. The DC nozzle atomizes the fertilizer water once. Three opposing atomizing devices are arranged around the four-way pipe horizontal tube along its axis. The opposing atomizing devices include opposing nozzles. The intersection of the axes of the three opposing nozzles is on the axis of the DC nozzle. At the same time as the fertilizer water is sprayed from the DC nozzle, it is also sprayed out from the opposing nozzles simultaneously. The water flow of the two collides with each other, which further breaks the fertilizer water droplets into smaller droplets, realizing secondary atomization of the fertilizer water. This makes the fertilizer application more uniform and reduces the probability of fertilizer damage. Adjusting the position of the second positioning ring can adjust the angle of the opposing nozzles, thereby changing the collision angle of the water flow and changing the atomization range. This allows the fertilizer water mist range to completely cover the crops that need fertilization, realizing controllable atomization range.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, fertilizer and water are initially mixed in the hopper and then enter the mixing and conveying component. The rotating shaft of the conveying component rotates with the motor, and the rotating shaft drives the spiral blade to rotate at high speed, which fully mixes the water and fertilizer that enters it, avoiding fertilizer loss caused by applying fertilizer first and then irrigating in the traditional fertilization process. At the same time, a flow control ring is set at the bottom of the mixing and conveying component, which can adjust the flow rate and velocity of the fertilizer water flowing into the four-way pipe, thereby adjusting the amount of atomized spray.

Multiple counter-current atomizing components 9 are arranged around the outer wall of the horizontal tube of the four-way tube 6 along the axis. A DC nozzle 10 is fixedly connected to the top end of the horizontal tube of the four-way tube 6.

[0027] The counter-flushing atomizing component 9 includes a connecting rod 903. A first connecting frame 901 and a second connecting frame 902 are rotatably connected to one end and the middle part of the connecting rod 903, respectively. The first connecting frame 901 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 903 by a pin, and the second connecting frame 902 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the connecting rod 903 by a pin. Two guide wheels 904 are fixedly connected to both ends of the side of the connecting rod 903 away from the DC nozzle 10. A counter-flushing nozzle 905 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 903 near the DC nozzle 10 by a rod body. The bottom end of the counter-flushing nozzle 905 is connected to an infusion tube 906. One end of the infusion tube 906 passes through the two guide wheels 904 in sequence and is connected to the horizontal tube of the four-way tube 6.

[0028] The outer wall of the first positioning ring 7 is surrounded by multiple fixing blocks. The outer walls on both sides of the fixing blocks are rotatably connected to the first connecting frame 901 via rotating shafts. The outer wall of the second positioning ring 8 is surrounded by multiple protrusions.

Fertilizer and water are put into the hopper 1 from the feed inlet 3 and enter the conveying pipe 401 along the inner wall of the hopper 1. The high-speed rotating spiral blade 402 mixes the fertilizer and water and conveys them downward through centrifugal force. The flow rate and velocity of fertilizer and water entering the four-way pipe 6 are controlled by adjusting the opening size of the inner diameter of the flow control ring 5.

[0037] Furthermore, the selection of motor 2 can be set according to needs. Motor 2 is controlled by PLC. This part is well-known technology in the field and will not be elaborated further.

[0038] Furthermore, the flow control ring 5 has an iris structure inside, which is a well-known technology in the field and will not be described further.

The operator presses down the card seat 11 to release the second positioning ring 8, moves the second positioning ring 8 to the designated position and locks it. The inner diameter of the flow control ring 5 is adjusted to the designated size, and then the motor 2 is started. Fertilizer and water are injected into the hopper 1 from the feed inlet 3 respectively. After the fertilizer and water are stirred into liquid fertilizer, they are atomized at the direct flow nozzle 10 and the counter-flow nozzle 905 and evenly cover the crops. When it is necessary to adjust the atomization amount, the inner diameter of the flow control ring 5 is adjusted. When it is necessary to adjust the atomization range, the position of the second positioning ring 8 is adjusted.
