Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural pesticide application technology, and in particular relates to a potato ridge-to-ridge directional spray anti-drift cover. Background Technology

[0002] The potato is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the genus *Solanum* of the Solanaceae family. It is also known as potato, yam, and ground potato. Cultivated varieties originated in the Lake Titicaca basin in the Andes Mountains of South America, bordering Peru and Bolivia. It spread globally via Europe in the 16th century and was introduced to China in the 17th century. The potato's stem consists of above-ground stems, underground stems, stolons, and tubers. The tubers are both economic organs (rich in starch, vitamin C, potassium, and other nutrients) and reproductive organs.

[0003] During potato cultivation, various pests, diseases, and weeds can damage potatoes, leading to decreased quality and yield. Using chemical pesticides to control these pests and weeds is a primary means of achieving stable yields. However, during application, the atomized pesticide solution is quite dispersed. If there is a lateral airflow, the solution will be dispersed, causing a chaotic spraying process. A common solution is to attach a wind shield to the spray head, but this has two problems: first, the pesticide solution will spray onto the inner wall of the wind shield and accumulate, forming droplets that fall to the ground and waste the solution; second, the wind shield is usually fixed to the spray bar with bolts, making disassembly and cleaning inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a potato ridge-to-ridge directional spray anti-drift cover to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] The technical terms used in the embodiments are explained below:

[0028] A fuel-fired pesticide sprayer is a mechanical device that uses gasoline or diesel fuel as a power source to convert liquid pesticides or other liquids into a mist and spray it evenly onto a target area. The following is a detailed introduction to fuel-fired pesticide sprayers:

[0029] Fuel-fired sprayers are powered by fuel (gasoline or diesel) and are characterized by their powerful performance, suitability for large-area operations, and ease of mobility. They are widely used in agriculture, forestry, horticulture, public health, and other fields, and are important tools for pest and disease control and plant protection.

[0030] The working principle of a fuel-fired pesticide sprayer mainly includes the following steps:

[0031] Power output: After the engine starts, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted into mechanical energy through the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, which drives the pumping system to work.

[0032] Drug mixing and pumping: After the drug solution is mixed with water or other solvents in the tank, it is pressurized and delivered to the nozzle through a pumping system (such as a plunger pump, diaphragm pump, etc.).

[0033] Atomization and Spraying: At the nozzle, the liquid medicine is atomized into fine droplets and evenly sprayed onto the target area through the nozzle. The quality of atomization directly affects the spraying quality and the efficacy of the medicine.

[0034] In agriculture: Used for the control of crop diseases, pests, and weeds, such as wheat, rice, and fruit trees. Fuel-fired sprayers can efficiently and evenly spray pesticides, improving crop yield and quality.

[0035] Forestry sector: Used for the prevention and control of forest pests, diseases, and weeds, as well as afforestation. Fuel-fired sprayers can cover large areas of forest, effectively controlling the spread of pests and diseases.

[0036] In the horticulture field: Suitable for pest and weed control in gardens, lawns, greenhouses, and other horticultural settings. The fuel-powered sprayer is easy to operate and meets the precision requirements of horticultural operations.

[0037] In the field of public health: used for disinfection and pest control in public places such as city streets, parks, and landfills. Fuel-fired sprayers can quickly and effectively kill pathogens and pests, ensuring public health safety.

[0038] To extend the service life of fuel-fired pesticide sprayers and ensure they are in good working order, routine maintenance and upkeep are required:

[0039] Cleaning: Clean the medicine tank, pumping system, and nozzles promptly after each use to prevent residual medicine from corroding the equipment. Use clean water or a specialized cleaning agent for cleaning.

[0040] Inspection: Regularly inspect all parts of the fuel-fired sprayer for looseness, wear, or damage, and replace or repair them promptly. Pay special attention to critical components such as the engine, pumping system, and nozzles.

[0041] Lubrication: Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the fuel-fired sprayer to reduce wear and friction. Use appropriate lubricating oil or grease for lubrication.

[0042] Storage: Store the fuel-fired sprayer in a dry, well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and rain. When not in use for an extended period, drain the liquid from the tank and clean it thoroughly.

[0043] With increasing environmental awareness and technological advancements, fuel-fired pesticide sprayers are developing towards greater environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, and intelligent features. For example, the use of cleaner fuels, optimization of engine combustion efficiency, and the introduction of intelligent control systems are all aimed at improving the performance and environmental friendliness of fuel-fired pesticide sprayers.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a potato ridge-to-ridge directional spray anti-drift cover, comprising:

[0045] Fixed block 6, with a clamping component on it, fixed to the spray bar by the clamping component;

[0046] The wind shield 3 has an insert 4 at its top and a slot 7 on the fixing block 6. The slot 7 is adapted to the insert 4 and has a snap-fit ​​component. The insert 4 is limited to the fixing block 6 through the snap-fit ​​component.

[0047] A collection trough 21 is provided at the bottom inner side of the windproof cover 3. Multiple liquid collection components are connected to the collection trough 21, and the multiple liquid collection components are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the windproof cover 3.

[0048] The wind shield 3 reduces interference from natural wind on the spray by physically blocking the spray, preventing the pesticide from drifting to non-target areas due to airflow and significantly improving pesticide utilization. Combined with the clamping and fixing design of the spray bar, it ensures that the pesticide is sprayed concentratedly onto the target area between potato rows, reducing repeated spraying or missed areas and improving control effectiveness. The snap-fit ​​design of the insert 4 and slot 7 allows for easy installation and removal of the wind shield 3, saving operation time and facilitating replacement and cleaning. The collection trough and circumferentially spaced liquid collection components on the inner bottom of the wind shield 3 efficiently recover dripping pesticide during spraying, preventing pesticide waste.

[0049] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes two clamping plates 10 slidably connected to the top of the fixing block 6. The clamping plates 10 have an arc-shaped structure, and the two clamping plates 10 enclose a circle. Ear plates 12 are fixedly connected to the clamping plates 10, and fastening bolts 11 pass through the two ear plates 12 together.

[0050] Two clamping plates 10 are placed around both sides of the spray bar, and fastening bolts 11 are passed through the two ear plates 12 and tightened to fix the spray bar between the two clamping plates 10.

[0051] Furthermore, a groove 8 is provided at the top of the fixing block 6, and a bidirectional threaded rod 9 is fixedly connected in the groove 8. Two sliders 13 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 9, and the sliders 13 are slidably limited in the groove 8. The sliders 13 are fixedly connected to the clamping plate 10.

[0052] By rotating the bidirectional threaded rod 9, the two sliders 13 move closer to each other through the threaded connection with the bidirectional threaded rod 9, thereby clamping the spray bar.

[0053] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes two gears 15 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slot 7, and two racks 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the insert block 4. The racks 5 are correspondingly arranged with the gears 15 and mesh with the gears 15. A clamping member is provided between the two racks 5, and the two gears 15 are clamped and fixed by the clamping member.

[0054] The rack 5 and the gear 15 are engaged to achieve mutual locking. The clamping member clamps the two gears 15 to prevent them from rotating, and at the same time, it limits the rack 5 laterally to prevent the rack 5 from coming out of the slot 7.

[0055] Furthermore, the clamping component includes a threaded rod 16 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot 7. A spring 19 and a pressure plate 14 are sequentially sleeved on the threaded rod 16, and a nut is threadedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 16. The nut abuts against the pressure plate 14, and the two racks 5 and the two gears 15 abut against the pressure plate 14.

[0056] In the initial state, there is a gap between the pressure plate 14 and the inner wall of the slot 7 under the rebound force of the spring 19, which facilitates the smooth insertion of the rack 5 between the slot 7 and the pressure plate 14 and the gear. When the rack 5 is inserted into place, the gear 15 meshes with the rack 5, and the nut is tightened so that the pressure plate 14 presses on the rack 5 and the gear 15 at the same time, thereby preventing the rack 5 from coming out of the slot 7.

[0057] Furthermore, a plurality of protrusions 17 are fixedly connected to the side of the gear 15 near the pressure plate 14, and two pressure plates 18 are fixedly connected to the pressure plate 14. The pressure plates 18 are arranged corresponding to the gear 15, and friction blocks 20 are fixedly connected to the pressure plates 18. The friction blocks 20 abut against the protrusions 17.

[0058] The friction block 20 is a rubber block with a slight elasticity. While the nut is tightened, the pressure plate 14 presses the friction block 20, causing the friction block 20 to press against the protrusion 17. In this embodiment, the protrusion 17 is a cone, which prevents the gear 15 from rotating and ensures the effectiveness of the meshing between the rack 5 and the gear 15.

[0059] Furthermore, a hydrophobic membrane is affixed to the inside of the windproof cover 3.

[0060] In this embodiment, the hydrophobic membrane is a polytetrafluoroethylene hydrophobic membrane. When the sprayed liquid hits the hydrophobic membrane, it can quickly gather and flow into the collection tank 21 for collection, preventing the liquid from dripping directly onto the ground and causing waste.

[0061] Furthermore, the liquid collection device is a collection bottle 1, and multiple drain pipes 2 are connected to the collection tank 21. The collection bottle 1 is threadedly connected to the drain pipes 2.

[0062] The liquid medicine in collection bottle 1 can be recycled by entering collection bottle 1 through drain pipe 2.

[0063] The potato inter-row directional spray anti-drift cover provided by this utility model works as follows: When in use, the spray head is inserted into the windproof cover 3, and the fixing block 6 and the insert block 4 are connected by the snap-fit ​​assembly. Then, the fixing block 6 and the windproof cover 3 are fixed to the spray rod by the clamping assembly. The fuel sprayer is turned on to carry out the spraying operation. When the sprayed liquid hits the hydrophobic film on the inner side of the windproof cover 3, it can quickly gather and flow into the collection tank 21 and enter the collection bottle 1 through the drain pipe 2 for collection and reuse.

[0064] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0065] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
