Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fertilizer mixing tank technology, and in particular relates to a water-fertilizer mixing tank that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Fertilizer and water integration technology is crucial for increasing grain yield per unit area. Fertilizer mixing tanks can store fertilizer solutions in fertigation systems, enabling precise fertilization. Their stirring function ensures that fertilizer and water are mixed evenly, and they can flexibly adjust the nutrient ratio to meet the different growth needs of crops. At the same time, as a buffer container, they stabilize the pressure and flow of the irrigation system, ensuring that crops continuously and evenly absorb the appropriate concentration of water and fertilizer, improving fertilizer utilization, promoting crop growth, and increasing yield and quality.

[0003] Traditional fertilizer mixing tanks have small inlets, making fertilizer addition difficult. Some have relatively flat bottoms, which easily lead to sediment buildup during use, making cleaning difficult and slag removal challenging. Furthermore, fertilizer mixing can easily occur during different fertilization processes, affecting the overall efficiency and effectiveness of precise water and fertilizer application and causing problems for planting management. While some tanks have funnel-shaped bottoms, which can solve the problem of cleaning and slag removal, this increases the height of the device, affecting the feeding operation. Therefore, technological innovation is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water and fertilizer mixing tank that is easy to clean. Through the feeding mechanism and support mechanism, it solves the problems of traditional fertilizer mixing tanks, such as small feeding opening, difficulty in adding fertilizer, relatively flat bottom, easy sedimentation during use, difficulty in cleaning, difficulty in slag removal, and easy fertilizer confusion during different fertilization operations, which affects the overall efficiency and effect of precise water and fertilizer operation and brings trouble to planting management. In addition, some have a funnel-shaped bottom, which can solve the problem of cleaning and slag removal of the hopper, but increases the height of the device and affects the feeding operation. These problems urgently need to be addressed through technological innovation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a water-fertilizer mixing tank that is easy to clean, including a tank body. The tank body is characterized by having a feeding mechanism on its outer wall, the feeding mechanism including a feeding pipe, the outer wall of the feeding pipe being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank body, and the inner wall of the feeding pipe having a feeding port with a diameter greater than or equal to 40 centimeters.

[0007] A bottom support is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the tank, and the bottom support is configured with a central protrusion.

[0008] A discharge port and a discharge baffle for controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port are provided at the location where the side wall of the tank connects to the base.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of discharge ports is greater than or equal to two, and the number of discharge baffles is equal to the number of discharge ports.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of discharge ports is three to four.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge ports are evenly distributed along the sidewall of the tank.

[0012] Furthermore, a support mechanism is provided on the top outer wall of the tank, the support mechanism including a crossbeam, the outer wall of the crossbeam being fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the tank.

[0013] Furthermore, a second crossbeam is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the tank, and a number of reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second crossbeam.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer walls of several of the reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the tank, and the top outer wall of the tank is fixedly connected to several fixing blocks.

[0015] Furthermore, several of the reinforcing ribs are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the tank with the feed pipe as the center, and several of the fixing blocks are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the tank with the feed pipe as the center.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model solves the problem of cumbersome feeding operation caused by the small can opening by setting the diameter of the inlet to be greater than or equal to 40 cm, which is just right to match the size of a general packaging bag (50 kg), and greatly improves the convenience of feeding operation.

[0018] 2. This utility model, by setting a bottom support and a discharge port, with the bottom support being a centrally raised and surrounding low design, facilitates the natural physical collection and discharge of the remaining fertilizer at the bottom. On the one hand, it solves the problem of the original horizontal bottom design, which caused the inability to discharge slag, and on the other hand, it solves the problem of the conical funnel bottom causing the overall height of the device to be too high and difficult to operate. Setting multiple discharge ports makes it easier to discharge slag and improves the efficiency of slag discharge.

[0019] 3. This utility model improves the traditional fertilizer mixing tank through the above design improvements, thereby increasing the efficiency of water and fertilizer application and tank cleaning, while ensuring the overall water and fertilizer operation effect. The solution has been applied and promoted in the national 200,000 mu corn yield improvement project and has received very good feedback from farmers.

[0020] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a water-fertilizer mixing tank that is easy to clean, including a tank body 1. The outer wall of the tank body 1 is provided with a feeding mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding pipe 201. The outer wall of the feeding pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank body 1. The inner wall of the feeding pipe 201 is provided with a feeding port 202. The diameter of the feeding port 202 is greater than or equal to 40 centimeters.

[0031] A bottom support 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the tank body 1, and the bottom support 203 is configured as a central protrusion;

[0032] The side wall of the tank 1 is connected to the bottom support 203 and a discharge port 101 and a discharge baffle 102 for controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port 101 are provided. The size of the inlet is just right to match the size of a typical 50kg packaging bag, which solves the problem of cumbersome feeding operation caused by the small tank opening and greatly improves the convenience of feeding operation.

[0033] The number of discharge ports 101 is greater than or equal to two, and the number of discharge baffles 102 is equal to the number of discharge ports 101. The special shape of the bottom support 203 is that the center is raised and the surrounding area is low, which can allow the remaining fertilizer at the bottom to naturally and physically collect and discharge, solving the problem that the flat-bottomed fertilizer tank cannot discharge slag. The number of discharge ports 101 is three to four, and the discharge ports 101 are evenly distributed along the side wall of the tank body 1.

[0034] A support mechanism 3 is provided on the top outer wall of the tank body 1. The support mechanism 3 includes a crossbeam 301, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the tank body 1. A second crossbeam 302 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the tank body 1. Several reinforcing ribs 303 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second crossbeam 302, and their outer walls are fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the tank body 1. Several fixing blocks 304 are fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the tank body 1. The crossbeams 301 and 302 mainly serve to strengthen the support of the tank body 1. By utilizing crossbeams 301 and 302, the overall structure of tank 1 can be made more stable to accommodate fertilizer. Several reinforcing ribs 303 are symmetrically distributed on the surface of tank 1 with the feed pipe 201 as the center. Several fixing blocks 304 are symmetrically distributed on the surface of tank 1 with the feed pipe 201 as the center. The reinforcing ribs 303 mainly play an auxiliary support role for crossbeam 302 and tank 1. By using several reinforcing ribs 303, the force between crossbeam 302 and tank 1 can be made more uniform, thereby improving the reinforcement strength.

[0035] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0036] When staff need to use the equipment, they can directly pour fertilizer into the inlet 202 on the feed pipe 201. The fertilizer will fall into the tank 1 through the inlet 202 and land on the surface of the base 203, which greatly improves the convenience of feeding operations. The center of the base 203 is raised and the surrounding area is lower, forming a certain slope. The fertilizer remaining at the bottom of the tank 1 will naturally collect due to the special shape of the base 203 and be discharged to the outside through several outlets 101 and outlet baffles 102. This avoids the problem of not being able to discharge slag and water that may have been caused by the original horizontal bottom method, and makes it easier to directly wash and clean the inside of the tank 1.
