Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fertilizer applicator equipment, specifically a fertilizer applicator for vineyards. Background Technology

[0002] Vineyards are mainly used for growing grapes. Generally, when growing grapes, it is necessary to fertilize them. Fertilizer can provide grapevines with the macro- and micro-elements needed for growth, meet the nutrient requirements of each growth stage, promote healthy growth, and create a good environment for root growth. Vineyard fertilizer applicators are mechanical equipment or tools specifically designed for fertilization operations in vineyards, aiming to improve fertilization efficiency, accuracy and uniformity, and reduce labor intensity.

[0003] Currently, existing vineyard fertilizer applicators typically use fertilizer carts to fertilize the vines. However, the soil in vineyards is relatively loose and moist, and a large amount of soil will stick to the cart wheels during the fertilization process, increasing the difficulty for operators to push and fertilize, affecting fertilization efficiency, increasing working time, and making it difficult to ensure the consistency of fertilization, which can easily lead to waste or insufficient fertilizer. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vineyard fertilizer applicator to solve the technical problem that when traditional fertilizer carts are used in loose and moist vineyards, the wheels easily stick to a large amount of soil, which makes it difficult for operators to push the cart, reduces fertilization efficiency, and results in poor consistency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vineyard fertilizer applicator, comprising a fixed frame and a fertilizer applicator assembly, wherein the fertilizer applicator assembly comprises a drive mechanism and a fertilizer applicator mechanism, wherein the fertilizer applicator mechanism comprises an installation groove formed in the outer shell, wherein a water and fertilizer tank is fixedly connected inside the installation groove, wherein a liquid pump is connected to one side of the water and fertilizer tank via a connecting pipe, and a corrugated feed pipe is connected to the output end of the liquid pump.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting block is provided through the outer casing at the top of the battery, and two connecting blocks are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the battery.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, two connecting blocks are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the battery, which enhances the stability of the connection between the connecting blocks and the battery as well as the subsequent drive wheels.

[0014] Furthermore, drive wheels are rotatably connected to both sides of the connecting block via drive rods.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the two sides of the connecting block are rotatably connected to drive wheels via drive rods. When the motor in the drive mechanism is working, it can drive the drive wheels to rotate.

[0016] Furthermore, a guide rail is welded to the top of the fixing frame, and a sliding groove is formed on the inner side of the guide rail.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a guide rail is welded to the top of the fixed frame, and a sliding groove is opened on the inner side of the guide rail. The fertilizer applicator moves along the guide rail through the cooperation of the drive wheel and the sliding groove.

[0018] Furthermore, a charging box is provided at one end of the guide rail, and a charger with an adapted charging interface is provided on the back of the charging box.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a charging box is set at one end of the guide rail. After the fertilizer applicator completes the fertilization operation, it can automatically return to the charging box along the guide rail for convenient and quick charging.

[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0021] This invention features a fertilization assembly. A pump precisely draws fertilizer into a storage tank, while a discharge pump accurately sprays it onto the grapevines via a discharge pipe and nozzle according to preset flow rates and pressures.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] A vineyard fertilizer applicator, such as Figures 1-4As shown, it includes a fixed frame 1 and a fertilizer assembly 5. The fertilizer assembly 5 includes a drive mechanism 6 and a fertilizer mechanism 7. The fertilizer mechanism 7 includes a mounting groove 701 opened in the housing 711. A water and fertilizer tank 702 is fixedly connected inside the mounting groove 701. A liquid pump 704 is connected to one side of the water and fertilizer tank 702 through a connecting pipe 703. The output end of the liquid pump 704 is connected to a corrugated feed pipe 705.

[0029] A drain pump 706 is installed on the other side of the water and fertilizer tank 702. A discharge pipe 707 is installed at the output end of the drain pump 706. A nozzle 708 is installed at one end of the discharge pipe 707. The water and fertilizer tank 702 is fixed in the installation groove 701, providing a stable storage space for fertilizer. This ensures that fertilizer will not be spilled or leaked during fertilization, thus ensuring the orderly progress of fertilization. During fertilization, the drain pump 706 can evenly extract fertilizer from the water and fertilizer tank 702 and deliver it to the nozzle 708 through the discharge pipe 707, ultimately spraying it evenly onto the grapevines. This improves the uniformity of fertilization and is beneficial for the grapevines to absorb nutrients.

[0030] See Figure 3 A fixing ring 710 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge pipe 707. The outer surface of the fixing ring 710 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric actuator 709. The other end of the electric actuator 709 is welded to the bottom of the outer casing 711. The electric actuator 709 allows the operator to control the extension and retraction of the electric actuator 709 to move the fixing ring 710 and the discharge pipe 707, thereby flexibly adjusting the angle of the spray head 708. The operator can adjust the angle of the spray head 708 according to the distance between the grapes and the equipment or the different growth stages of the grapes, thereby changing the distance and height of fertilizer spraying, ensuring that the fertilizer can accurately cover different parts of the grapevine.

[0031] See Figure 4 The drive mechanism 6 includes a mounting plate 601, on the top of which a battery 602 is fixedly connected. A charging interface 603 is provided on the outer surface of the battery 602. The mounting plate 601 provides a stable mounting platform for the battery 602. The battery 602 is fixed on the top of the mounting plate 601, providing the necessary power support for the operation of the entire fertilizer applicator, enabling the fertilizer applicator to perform fertilization operations and move normally. The charging interface 603 on the outer surface of the battery 602 allows for convenient charging after the fertilizer applicator has completed its fertilization operation, ensuring that the fertilizer applicator can continue to work.

[0032] See Figure 4A connecting block 604 is provided at the top of the battery 602 through the outer casing 711. Two connecting blocks 604 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the battery 602. The symmetrical arrangement of the connecting blocks 604 enhances the stability of the connection between the connecting blocks 604 and the battery 602 and the subsequent drive wheel 605. The symmetrical arrangement makes the drive wheel 605 more stable during rotation, improving the reliability of the fertilizer applicator's movement.

[0033] See Figure 4 The two sides of the connecting block 604 are rotatably connected to the drive wheel 605 via the drive rod.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 The top of the fixed frame 1 is welded with a guide rail 2, and the inner side of the guide rail 2 is provided with a sliding groove 3. The fertilizer applicator moves along the guide rail 2 through the cooperation of the drive wheel 605 and the sliding groove 3. The design of the guide rail 2 and the sliding groove 3 can also enhance the stability of the fertilizer applicator during the movement process and prevent the fertilizer applicator from deviating or shaking during the movement process.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 A charging box 4 is provided at one end of the guide rail 2. A charger with a charging interface 603 is provided on the back of the charging box 4. When the fertilizer applicator finishes fertilizing, it can automatically return to the charging box 4 along the guide rail 2 for convenient and quick charging. The charger with a charging interface 603 on the back of the charging box 4 ensures that the fertilizer applicator can be charged smoothly after returning to the charging box 4, providing a guarantee for the subsequent use of the fertilizer applicator.

[0036] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the corrugated feed pipe 705 is inserted into the fertilizer tank and the liquid pump 704 is started at the same time, so that the water and fertilizer are drawn into the water and fertilizer tank 702 for storage through the corrugated feed pipe 705 and the connecting pipe 703. Then, the internal motor drives the drive wheel 605 to rotate, so that the equipment moves along the slide groove 3 of the guide rail 2. At the same time, the liquid pump 706 is started to draw out the fertilizer in the water and fertilizer tank 702 and spray it out to the grapevine through the discharge pipe 707 and the nozzle 708. After the spraying is completed, the equipment returns to the charging box 4 along the slide groove 3 of the guide rail 2 to charge the equipment battery 602 for subsequent use.

[0037] Operators can adjust the distance and height of fertilizer spraying by adjusting the angle of the nozzle 708 via the electric actuator 709, depending on the distance between the grapes and the equipment or the different growth stages of the grapes.
