Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of atomized fertilization technology, specifically relating to a device for atomizing and spraying nutrient solution for traditional Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the atomized fertilization of Chinese medicinal herbs in hydroponics or open-field cultivation, precise supply of nutrient solution and proper maintenance and cleaning of the equipment are crucial for ensuring fertilization effectiveness. The atomizing nozzle, as the core component for nutrient solution atomization, directly affects the uniformity of spray and the efficiency of nutrient supply. However, currently, when cleaning the atomizing nozzle after fertilization, the cleaning water easily drips directly or sprays onto the medicinal herbs, thus affecting the fertilization effect.

[0003] Conventional atomizing spray systems require rinsing with cleaning water via a pump after fertilization to prevent residual nutrient solution from crystallizing and clogging the nozzles. However, existing systems lack a dedicated cleaning water collection structure, causing the water to drip directly onto the stems and leaves of medicinal herbs or the growing medium. For herbs whose medicinal parts are the stems and leaves, excessive cleaning water retention can lead to a sudden increase in local humidity, potentially diluting the nutrients already absorbed by the leaf surface and increasing the risk of leaf diseases. For hydroponically grown herbs, the cleaning water mixed with the nutrient solution alters its concentration and pH, interfering with the roots' normal nutrient absorption and even causing poor root growth.

[0004] To avoid the effects of cleaning water, some growers choose to move the entire device away from the planting area before cleaning. However, this operation requires frequent disassembly or relocation of supports and pipes, which not only increases labor intensity but may also cause the nozzle installation position to shift due to collisions between parts during the movement. This necessitates recalibrating the spray range afterward, severely impacting work efficiency. In addition, a few simple devices attempt to temporarily cover the area with plastic sheeting, but the coverage is limited and it is difficult to accurately align the area below the nozzle. Cleaning water can still easily leak out from the gaps, failing to fundamentally solve the problem.

[0005] Therefore, in order to address the problem that the cleaning water used to clean the nozzles after atomized fertilization can easily contaminate Chinese medicinal herbs and affect the fertilization effect, there is an urgent need for an atomized spraying device that can quickly collect the cleaning water during the cleaning process, so as to ensure the fertilization quality of Chinese medicinal herbs and the ease of maintenance of the device. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a nutrient solution atomizing spraying device for Chinese medicinal herbs, which solves the problem that the cleaning water used to clean the nozzles after existing atomized fertilization easily contaminates the Chinese medicinal herbs and affects the fertilization effect.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a nutrient solution atomizing spraying device for traditional Chinese medicine, comprising a nutrient solution pumping pipe, the nutrient solution pumping pipe being fixed to a bracket by U-bolts, multiple atomizing nozzles being installed on the nutrient solution pumping pipe, a support base being fixed on the bracket, a rotating shaft being rotatably mounted on the support base, the rotating shaft being connected to a drive mechanism, one end of the rotating shaft being connected to a connecting frame, the other end of the connecting frame being connected to a water receiving trough, both ends of the water receiving trough being connected to water outlet pipes, a drainage pipe being installed on a bracket below the water outlet pipe, and when the side of the connecting frame abuts against the surface of the nutrient solution pumping pipe, the axes of the water outlet pipe and the water collection trough in the drainage pipe are collinear.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when cleaning water is pumped into the nutrient solution pipe after fertilization, the water receiving tank can be rotated to a position directly below the pumping atomizing nozzle by the rotating shaft, so that the cleaning water is sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle and flows into the water receiving tank, and then collected and discharged through the drainage pipe, thus avoiding the clogging of the atomizing nozzle by residual solute crystals.

[0009] To ensure a stable connection between the rotating shaft and the water receiving tank;

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the number of connecting frames is multiple, and they are equidistantly spaced along the axial direction of the rotation axis.

[0011] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that multiple connecting brackets can securely connect the rotating shaft and the water receiving tank.

[0012] To prevent the water collection tank from affecting the atomizing nozzles that are performing normal spraying operations;

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a support plate is welded to the side of the connecting frame, and when the end of the support plate is connected to the side of the pumping nutrient solution pipe, the water receiving tank is located above the spray area of ​​the atomizing nozzle.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: as the rotating shaft drives the water receiving tank to flip to the other side of the pumping nutrient solution pipe, so that when the support plate is attached to the pumping nutrient solution pipe, the water receiving tank is completely above the spray area of ​​the atomizing nozzle, thus avoiding affecting the atomizing fertilization effect of the atomizing nozzle.

[0015] In order to achieve efficient collection of cleaning water;

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the drainage pipeline includes a water collection trough, which is a tapered pipe structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The bottom end of the water collection trough is connected to the top end of a bend, and the other end of the bend is connected to the side of the main pipe. The water collection trough is fixed to the bracket by U-bolts.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the water collected in the receiving tank can be discharged through the outlet pipe under the action of gravity, fall into the collection tank, and then be collected and discharged through the main pipe.

[0018] To drive the rotating shaft to rotate in a less strenuous manner using a drive mechanism;

[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the driving mechanism includes a worm gear, which is fixed at one end of the rotating shaft. The worm gear is meshed with a worm, which is rotatably mounted on a support base two, which is fixed on a bracket.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the worm gear pair can reduce the speed of the rotating shaft, thus allowing personnel to rotate the rotating shaft more easily and safely.

[0021] To facilitate the rotation of the worm gear;

[0022] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a handwheel is fixedly provided at one end of the worm gear.

[0023] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the operator can turn the worm gear with less effort by using a handwheel.

[0024] To ensure the stability of the support structure for other components of the device;

[0025] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the bracket is a gantry structure composed of three square tubes welded together.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: after multiple supports work together through the connection of the rotating shaft, the pumping nutrient solution pipe, and the drainage pipe, they can stably support the various components of the device, ensuring the stability of the device during use.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 4: A nutrient solution atomizing spraying device for traditional Chinese medicine includes a nutrient solution pumping pipe 1, which is fixed to a bracket 2 by U-bolts. Multiple atomizing nozzles 3 are installed on the nutrient solution pumping pipe 1. A support base 4 is fixed to the bracket 2, and a rotating shaft 5 is rotatably mounted on the support base 4. The rotating shaft 5 is connected to a drive mechanism 8. One end of the rotating shaft 5 is connected to a connecting frame 6, and the other end of the connecting frame 6 is connected to a water receiving trough 7. Both ends of the water receiving trough 7 are connected to water outlet pipes 71. A drain pipe 9 is installed on the bracket 2 below the water outlet pipe 71. When the side of the connecting frame 6 is against the surface of the nutrient solution pumping pipe 1, the water outlet pipe 71 and the drain pipe... The axes of the water collection tanks 91 in pipeline 9 are collinear. When cleaning water is pumped into the nutrient solution pipe 1 after fertilization, the water receiving tank 7 can be rotated to a position vertically below the pumping atomizing nozzle 3 via the rotating shaft 5. This allows the cleaning water to be sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 3 and then collected into the water receiving tank 7, before being collected and discharged through the drainage pipe 9. This prevents residual solute crystals from clogging the atomizing nozzle 3. Multiple connecting brackets 6 are provided, equidistantly spaced along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 5. These multiple connecting brackets 6 securely connect the rotating shaft 5 and the water receiving tank 7. Support plates 61 are welded to the sides of the connecting brackets 6. When the end of the support plate 61 is connected to the side of the pumping nutrient solution pipe 1, the water receiving tank 7 is located above the spray area of ​​the atomizing nozzle 3. As the rotating shaft 5 rotates, it causes the water receiving trough 7 to flip to the other side of the nutrient solution pumping pipe 1. When the support plate 61 is against the nutrient solution pumping pipe 1, the water receiving trough 7 is completely above the spray area of ​​the atomizing nozzle 3, avoiding affecting the atomizing fertilization effect of the atomizing nozzle 3. The drainage pipe 9 includes a water collecting trough 91, which is a tapered pipe structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The bottom end of the water collecting trough 91 is connected to the top end of the bend 92, and the other end of the bend 92 is connected to the side of the main pipe 93. The water collecting trough 91 is fixed to the bracket 2 by U-bolts. The water collected in the water receiving trough 7 can be discharged through the outlet pipe 71 under the action of gravity and fall into the water collecting trough 91, and then collected uniformly through the main pipe 93. The drive mechanism 8 includes a worm gear 81, which is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 5. The worm gear 81 is meshed with a worm 82, which is rotatably mounted on a support base 84. The support base 84 is fixed to the bracket 2. The worm gear can reduce the speed of the rotating shaft 5, thus allowing the operator to rotate the rotating shaft 5 with less effort and safely. A handwheel 83 is fixed to one end of the worm 82, allowing the operator to rotate the worm 82 with less effort. The bracket 2 is a gantry structure composed of three square tubes welded together. Multiple brackets 2 cooperate with each other through the connection of the rotating shaft 5, the pumping nutrient solution pipe 1, and the drainage pipe 9, which can stably support the various components of the device and ensure the stability of the device in use.

[0036] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: by rotating the handwheel 83, the worm 82, the worm wheel 81 and the rotating shaft 5 are driven to rotate, so that the support plate 61 on the side of the connecting frame 6 is attached to the side of the pumping nutrient solution pipe 1. At this time, the water tank 7 should be located above the spray area of ​​the atomizing nozzle 3 to avoid obstructing the normal spraying operation.

[0037] Subsequently, atomized fertilization is carried out. The external nutrient solution source is connected to the nutrient solution pumping pipe 1, the pumping equipment is started, and the nutrient solution is transported to each atomizing nozzle 3 through the nutrient solution pumping pipe 1 and atomized into fine mist and sprayed on the surface of the stems and leaves of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0038] After fertilization, clean the atomizing nozzles and collect the cleaning water. Turn off the nutrient solution pumping equipment and disconnect from the nutrient solution source. Connect the cleaning water source to the nutrient solution pumping pipe 1. At this time, turn the handwheel 83 to drive the worm gear 81 to rotate through the worm 82, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate on the support base 4. The connecting frame 6 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 5. The water receiving tank 7 gradually flips from above the spray area of ​​the atomizing nozzle 3 to its vertical lower position. When the connecting frame 6 rotates to be close to the nutrient solution pumping pipe 1, stop turning the handwheel 83. At this time, the water outlet pipes 71 at both ends of the water receiving tank 7 should be collinear with the axis of the water collection tank 91 in the drainage pipe 9 to ensure that the cleaning water can fall accurately into the water collection tank 91.

[0039] Subsequently, the cleaning water pumping equipment is started. The cleaning water enters each atomizing nozzle 3 through the pumping nutrient solution pipe 1 to rinse the nutrient solution remaining inside the nozzle. After rinsing, the cleaning water is sprayed out of the nozzle and falls into the water receiving tank 7 below. The cleaning water collected in the water receiving tank 7 is gathered by gravity to the water outlet pipes 71 at both ends, and discharged into the water collection tank 91 through the water outlet pipes 71. Since the water collection tank 91 is a tapered pipe structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, the cleaning water can quickly flow into the bend pipe 92, and then flow into the main pipe 93 through the bend pipe 92. Finally, it is discharged into the wastewater collection point outside the planting area through the main pipe 93, avoiding contact between the cleaning water and the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0040] After cleaning is completed, turn off the cleaning water pump and turn the handwheel 83 in the opposite direction to reset the water receiving tank 7 above the spray area of ​​the atomizing nozzle 3, so as to prevent it from affecting subsequent operations when not in a cleaning state.
