Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural fertilization machinery technology, specifically to a small-sized fertilizer spreader with adjustable fertilization rate for dryland planting. Background Technology

[0002] When cultivating crops (such as corn), fertilization is required before tilling. There are two common fertilization methods: one is manual spreading of fertilizer, but this is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to uneven spreading; the other is using fertilizer spreading machines, which can replace manual labor and reduce labor intensity. However, fertilizer spreading machines usually apply fertilizer in furrows or holes, where fertilizer is poured vertically or obliquely into the furrow or hole through a guide pipe. This usually requires additional steps such as furrowing and covering with soil. Therefore, they cannot achieve the goal of evenly distributing fertilizer on the soil surface, which urgently needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology by providing a small, simple, reasonably designed, and easy-to-use fertilizer spreader for dryland planting with adjustable fertilizer application rate. It achieves the purpose of spreading fertilizer by driving the fertilizer to rotate horizontally, so that the fertilizer covers the soil surface, and the fertilizer application rate can be adjusted according to the soil needs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: it includes a frame, with wheels on all four sides of the bottom of the frame, a handle on the upper left side of the frame, a fertilizer cylinder on the upper side of the frame, and a discharge rack at the bottom of the fertilizer cylinder, the discharge rack being inserted into and fixed within the frame; it also includes:

[0005] The rotating frame is screwed onto and fixed to the bottom of the discharge frame via a bearing, and a tapered guide frame is provided at the inner end of the rotating frame, and a discharge hole is provided at the bottom of the rotating frame.

[0006] A rotating gear, which is sleeved and fixed to the upper end of the rotating frame;

[0007] The spraying motor is fixedly mounted on the frame by a motor bracket and is located on the right side of the discharge frame. After the output shaft of the spraying motor passes through the frame, a transmission gear is sleeved and fixed thereon, and the transmission gear meshes with the rotating gear.

[0008] The measuring table is movably installed at the bottom of the material discharge rack, and the outer ring wall of the measuring table is arranged in a conical inclination from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside.

[0009] A quantity control component, wherein the quantity control component is disposed inside the discharge rack;

[0010] Through the above technical solution design, fertilizer flows from the discharge rack into the rotating rack, and is guided by the conical guide rack so that all the fertilizer is placed on the inner bottom surface of the rotating rack and flows downward from the discharge hole. The spreading motor is started, so that the transmission gear drives the rotating gear to rotate, so that the rotating rack rotates during the discharge process, and the fertilizer is spread on the soil. During this process, the amount of fertilizer discharged from the discharge rack is controlled by the metering component, and the spreading amount is changed.
