[0029] Specifically: A material extraction pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage box 2. A fourth rotating rod 21 is movably connected inside the material extraction pipe 3. A material extraction fan blade 22 is fixedly connected to the fourth rotating rod 21. The material extraction fan blade 22 is movably connected inside the material extraction pipe 3. The other end of the fourth rotating rod 21 is movably connected to the fourth motor 20, which extracts the fertilizer in the storage box 2 through the material extraction pipe 3.

[0030] Specifically: The upper end of the feeding pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the conveying pipe 4, which is fixedly connected through it. The third rotating rod 18 is movably connected inside the conveying pipe 4. The feeding threaded strip 19 is fixedly connected to the third rotating rod 18. One end of the third rotating rod 18 is movably connected to the first motor 5. The first motor 5 is movably connected to the conveying pipe 4, which slowly and steadily pushes the fertilizer forward along the conveying pipe 4.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] The base 1 serves as a supporting foundation, with a storage bin 2 movably connected to one side for storing fertilizer. A conveying pipe 4 is movably connected to the upper end of the storage bin 2. A fourth motor 20 drives a fourth rotating rod 21 connected to it to rotate. The suction fan 22 on the fourth rotating rod 21 rotates within the suction pipe 3, using the suction force generated by the rotation to extract the fertilizer from the storage bin 2 through the suction pipe 3. After the fertilizer enters the suction pipe 3, the conveying pipe 4 begins to function. A third rotating rod 18 within the conveying pipe 4 rotates under the drive of a first motor 5. The feed thread 19 on the third rotating rod 18, with its threaded structure, slowly and steadily pushes the fertilizer forward along the conveying pipe 4, preparing for subsequent fertilization. The second motor 14 and the third motor 15 on the base 1 are activated. The second motor 14 drives the first rotating rod 16 to rotate, thereby causing the first three-sided turntable 9 fixed to the first rotating rod 16 to rotate. The third motor 15 drives the second rotating rod 17 to rotate, causing the second three-sided rotating disk 10, which is connected to the first three-sided rotating disk 9, to rotate synchronously. The push rod 7 on the rotating disk 6 pushes the second three-sided rotating disk 10, while the first three-sided rotating disk 9 slides in the push groove 8 of the rotating disk 6. The hopper 12 on the side fixing rod 11 of the second three-sided rotating disk 10 moves accordingly. When the hopper 12 moves below the conveying pipe 4, the fertilizer pushed by the feed thread 19 in the conveying pipe 4 falls precisely into the hopper 12. As the first three-sided rotating disk 9 and the second three-sided rotating disk 10 continue to rotate, the hopper 12, filled with fertilizer, is moved to a specific position, realizing intermittent precision fertilization. The data cable 13 connected to the side of the fourth motor 20 in the storage box 2 is fixedly connected to the second motor 14 and the third motor 15 at the other end. The data cable 13 ensures close coordination between the motors and related components, thereby precisely controlling the entire process of fertilization and meeting the requirements of intermittent precision variable fertilization under different needs.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
