Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medicinal herb cultivation technology, and in particular to a fertilizer spraying device for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, greenhouse cultivation, as a common cultivation method, provides a relatively stable growing environment for Chinese medicinal herbs, which helps to improve the yield and quality of Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0003] In the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs, fertilization in greenhouses is currently mostly done manually using sprayers. Specifically, this involves operators walking around the greenhouse with a sprayer, spraying each herb individually. Because greenhouses are typically large, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, easily leading to operator fatigue, reduced fertilization efficiency, and uneven application, potentially resulting in some areas receiving too much or too little fertilizer, which is detrimental to the balanced growth of the herbs.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a fertilizer application device for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs has been designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a fertilizer application device for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs, which solves the problem that most related technologies rely on manual methods to fertilize Chinese medicinal herbs in greenhouses, which consumes a lot of time and energy, is labor-intensive, and affects fertilization efficiency.

[0006] Firstly, a fertilizer application device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs is provided, comprising:

[0007] A shed has multiple crossbeams arranged along its length. A main infusion pipe is provided at one end of the shed, and multiple distribution pipes are provided on the main infusion pipe. The distribution pipes are distributed along the length of the crossbeams and located below the crossbeams. Multiple fixing rings are provided on the distribution pipes, and the top of the fixing rings is connected to the corresponding crossbeam.

[0008] The bottom of the liquid distribution pipe is provided with multiple spray pipes, and multiple spray holes are opened on the spray pipes;

[0009] A liquid supply mechanism, which is connected to the main infusion pipe for supplying liquid to the main infusion pipe.

[0010] In some embodiments, the scaffolding includes two main beams arranged opposite each other, which are fixed together by reinforcing ribs. A support column is provided at the end of the main beam away from the reinforcing ribs. A crossbeam is provided between the two opposite supports. Multiple reinforcing rods are provided between the crossbeam and the support column, as well as between the main beam and the support column.

[0011] In some embodiments, the main infusion tube is provided with multiple adapter tubes, which are distributed along the length of the crossbeam, and valves are provided on the adapter tubes;

[0012] The other end of the transfer tube is connected to the corresponding liquid distribution pipe.

[0013] In some embodiments, the spray pipe includes an interconnected mounting head and a hose, the top of the mounting head being in communication with the liquid distribution pipe, the mounting head and the hose being in communication with each other, and a plurality of spray holes being formed on the hose;

[0014] A counterweight is provided at the bottom of the hose.

[0015] In some embodiments, the liquid supply mechanism includes a storage tank and a pump body arranged outside the shed, wherein the outlet of the pump body is connected to the main infusion pipe through a pipe, and the inlet of the pump body is connected to the storage tank through a pipe.

[0016] A valve is installed on the pipe connecting the pump body's inlet to the storage tank.

[0017] In some embodiments, a stirring mechanism is also included, comprising a drive motor and a reducer mounted on a storage tank, and a stirring rod rotatably mounted inside the storage tank, wherein the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the input shaft of the reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to the stirring rod.

[0018] In some embodiments, the storage tank is provided with a water injection valve and a material feeding port.

[0019] This application provides a fertilizer application device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs. Through the coordinated use of the main infusion pipe, the distribution pipe, the spray pipe and the liquid supply mechanism, the fertilization operation is automated. Compared with the traditional manual spraying fertilization method, the fertilization work of the entire area can be completed in a shorter time, which greatly shortens the fertilization time and significantly improves the fertilization efficiency.

[0020] Multiple liquid distribution pipes are distributed along the length of the crossbeam, and multiple spray pipes are set at the bottom of each liquid distribution pipe. Multiple spray holes are opened on the spray pipes, so that the fertilizer solution can be evenly sprayed on the Chinese medicinal materials, avoiding the problem of uneven fertilization that may occur with manual fertilization. This helps the Chinese medicinal materials grow in a balanced way and improves their yield and quality.

[0021] This fertilizer application equipment eliminates the need for a large number of manual sprayers for fertilization. Only a few people are required to operate the equipment to complete the entire fertilization process, reducing labor demand and thus lowering labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] This application provides a fertilizer application device for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs, which can solve the problem that most related technologies rely on manual methods to fertilize Chinese medicinal herbs in greenhouses, which consumes a lot of time and energy, has a high labor intensity, and affects fertilization efficiency.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-3 A fertilizer application device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs includes: a frame 1 with multiple crossbeams 11 arranged along the length of the frame 1; a main infusion pipe 2 at one end of the frame 1; multiple distribution pipes 3 on the main infusion pipe 2, distributed along the length of the crossbeams 11 and located below the crossbeams 11; multiple fixing rings 4 on the distribution pipes 3, the top of the fixing rings 4 being connected to the corresponding crossbeams 11; multiple spray pipes 5 at the bottom of the distribution pipes 3, each spray pipe 5 having multiple spray holes 54; and a liquid supply mechanism 6 connected to the main infusion pipe 2 for supplying liquid to the main infusion pipe 2.

[0033] In actual operation, the fertilizer solution is delivered to the main infusion pipe 2 through the liquid supply mechanism 6. The main infusion pipe 2 distributes the received fertilizer solution to multiple distribution pipes 3. The distribution pipes 3 are connected to the corresponding crossbeams 11 through the top of the fixing rings 4 to ensure that the distribution pipes are stably fixed on the shed structure.

[0034] The fertilizer solution in the separating pipe 3 flows further into multiple spray pipes 5 at its bottom. Multiple spray holes 54 are opened on the spray pipes 5, and the fertilizer solution is sprayed out from the spray holes 54 and evenly sprinkled on the Chinese medicinal materials to realize the fertilization operation of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0035] By using the main infusion pipe 2, the distribution pipe 3, the spray pipe 5 and the liquid supply mechanism 6 in combination, automated fertilization operation is achieved. Compared with the traditional manual spraying fertilization method, the fertilization work of the entire area can be completed in a shorter time, which greatly shortens the fertilization time and significantly improves the fertilization efficiency.

[0036] Multiple liquid distribution pipes 3 are distributed along the length of the crossbeam 11, and multiple spray pipes 5 are set at the bottom of each liquid distribution pipe 3. Multiple spray holes 54 are opened on the spray pipes 5, so that the fertilizer solution can be evenly sprayed on the Chinese medicinal materials, avoiding the problem of uneven fertilization that may occur with manual fertilization, which helps the Chinese medicinal materials grow in a balanced way and improves the yield and quality of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0037] This fertilizer application equipment eliminates the need for a large number of manual sprayers for fertilization. Only a few people are required to operate the equipment to complete the entire fertilization process, reducing labor demand and thus lowering labor costs.

[0038] like Figure 6As shown, the scaffold 1 in this embodiment includes two main beams 12 arranged opposite to each other, which are fixed together by reinforcing ribs. A support column 13 is provided at the end of the main beam 12 away from the reinforcing ribs. A crossbeam 11 is provided between the two opposite support columns 13. Multiple reinforcing rods are provided between the crossbeam 11 and the support column 13, as well as between the main beam 12 and the support column 13.

[0039] The two main beams 12 arranged opposite each other are fixed by reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs can effectively disperse the external forces borne by the main beams and prevent the main beams from bending or deforming due to uneven stress.

[0040] The support column 13 transfers the weight borne by the main beam 12 and the cross beam 11 to the ground, ensuring that the scaffold will not sink or tilt in the vertical direction. Through the even distribution of multiple support columns 13, the weight of the scaffold and the equipment above is jointly borne, making the entire structure more stable and reliable.

[0041] Multiple reinforcing rods are installed between the crossbeam 11 and the support column 13, as well as between the main beam 12 and the support column 13. These reinforcing rods can prevent the crossbeam 11, the main beam 12, and the support column 13 from relative displacement when under stress, so that the entire scaffolding forms a whole and further enhances the connection strength between the various components of the scaffolding.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the main infusion tube 2 is provided with a plurality of transfer tubes 21, which are distributed along the length of the crossbeam 11, and each transfer tube 21 is provided with a valve 22; the other end of each transfer tube 21 is connected to the corresponding dispensing pipe 3.

[0043] Each transfer pipe 21 is connected to a corresponding liquid distribution pipe 3, so that the Chinese medicinal herb planting area in the greenhouse can be divided into multiple relatively independent fertilization units. By setting valves 22 on the transfer pipe 21, operators can independently control the fertilizer solution supply of each liquid distribution pipe 3 according to the growth stage, variety characteristics and soil fertility of the Chinese medicinal herbs in different areas.

[0044] For areas with vigorous growth and high fertilizer requirements, the corresponding valves can be opened to increase the delivery of fertilizer solution; while for areas with slow growth or sensitivity to fertilizer, the valve opening can be closed or reduced to reduce fertilizer supply, thereby achieving precise fertilization, improving fertilizer utilization, and promoting the balanced growth of Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the spray pipe 5 includes an installation head 51 and a hose 52 connected to each other. The top end of the installation head 51 is connected to the liquid distribution pipe 3. The installation head 51 and the hose 52 are connected to each other. A plurality of spray holes 54 are opened on the hose 52. A counterweight 53 is provided at the bottom end of the hose 52.

[0046] The hose 52 has a certain degree of flexibility and can hang and swing naturally within a certain range. When the fertilizer solution enters the hose 52 from the distribution pipe 3 through the installation head 51, the solution will be sprayed evenly from multiple spray holes on the hose 52. Due to the swinging characteristics of the hose, the sprayed fertilizer solution can cover a wider area, avoiding the spray dead corners that may occur with traditional rigid sprinkler pipes, ensuring that all parts of the Chinese medicinal plant can receive sufficient fertilizer, and improving the uniformity and effectiveness of fertilization.

[0047] The counterweight 53 can keep the hose 52 hanging down in its natural state. At the same time, the counterweight 53 can also prevent the hose 52 from being displaced and swaying too much due to the impact force of the fertilizer solution during spraying, thus ensuring that the spray pipe 5 can work stably.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in one embodiment, the liquid supply mechanism 6 includes a liquid storage tank 61 and a pump body 62 arranged outside the shelf 1. The outlet of the pump body 62 is connected to the main liquid delivery pipe 2 through a pipe, and the inlet of the pump body 62 is connected to the liquid storage tank 61 through a pipe. A valve is provided on the pipe connecting the inlet of the pump body 62 and the liquid storage tank 61.

[0049] The pump body 62 serves as the power component of the liquid supply mechanism. Its outlet is connected to the main liquid delivery pipe 2 via a pipe, enabling it to extract the fertilizer solution from the storage tank 61 and deliver it to the main liquid delivery pipe 2.

[0050] A valve is installed on the pipe connecting the inlet of the pump body 62 and the storage tank 61. This can effectively prevent the fertilizer solution in the main delivery pipe 2 or the distribution pipe 3 from flowing back into the storage tank 61 due to gravity or other reasons when the pump body 62 stops working, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the liquid supply system.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, it further includes a stirring mechanism 7, which includes a drive motor 71 and a reducer 72 mounted on the storage tank 61, and a stirring rod 73 rotatably mounted inside the storage tank 61. The output shaft of the drive motor 71 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 72, and the output shaft of the reducer 72 is connected to the stirring rod 73.

[0052] The drive motor 71 starts and transmits power to the stirring rod 73 through the reducer 72, causing the stirring rod to rotate inside the storage tank 61, ensuring that the various components in the fertilizer solution are fully and evenly mixed.

[0053] The continuous stirring action of the stirring mechanism 7 can prevent sedimentation or stratification, ensuring that the fertilizer solution in the storage tank 61 remains uniform.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it should be noted that the liquid storage tank 61 is equipped with a liquid injection valve for water injection and a feeding port for material feeding.

[0055] The liquid injection valve on the storage tank 61 is used for water injection, and the feeding port is used for fertilizer and other materials such as nutrients. Operators can conveniently control the amount of water injected through the liquid injection valve and accurately add the required fertilizer through the feeding port according to actual needs.
