Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant protection helicopter technology, specifically to a continuous spraying device for plant protection helicopters. Background Technology

[0002] Aerial pesticide application systems are technological equipment that uses aircraft as carriers to spray pesticides from the air, featuring high efficiency and strong adaptability. Based on the differences in the operating platform, they are mainly divided into three categories: fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned helicopters. This system is suitable for large-area farmland, forests, and other scenarios, saving approximately 40% of pesticides compared to traditional ground-based application, achieving a control effect of over 90%, while also reducing environmental pollution.

[0003] Existing plant protection spraying helicopters apply pesticides to vegetation by spraying pesticides from their tanks. The tank capacity of these helicopters is fixed, and once all the pesticide in the tank is sprayed, they cannot continue spraying. This forces the helicopter to land and refill the tank, resulting in the inability to spray continuously. When replacing the tank, it is not easy to replace it quickly and securely, which prolongs the replacement time and affects subsequent spraying. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a continuous spraying device for plant protection helicopters, which solves the technical problems of the fixed capacity of the original plant protection spraying helicopter's tank, which means that once all the liquid in the tank is sprayed, the spraying cannot continue, causing the helicopter to land and replenish the liquid, resulting in the device being unable to spray continuously. Furthermore, when replacing the tank, it is not possible to quickly and securely replace and install the tank, which increases the replacement time and affects subsequent spraying.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it illustrates a continuous spraying device for plant protection helicopters according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a frame 1, a collection box 2 fixedly installed at the front of the upper end of the frame 1, a delivery pump 3 fixedly installed at the upper end of the collection box 2, a first spraying bar 4 fixedly installed on one side of the collection box 2, a first fixing ring 5 fixedly connected to the upper end of the first spraying bar 4, and a second spraying bar 6 fixedly installed on the other side of the collection box 2, and a second fixing ring 7 fixedly connected to the upper end of the second spraying bar 6;

[0030] The conveying hose 18 is fixedly connected to the left rear of the central box 2, and the upper end of the conveying hose 18 is fixedly installed with valve 19. The lower end of the conveying hose 18 is fixedly installed with first connecting pipe 10. The upper end of first connecting pipe 10 is fixedly installed with valve 21. The upper rear of the conveying hose 18 is fixedly installed with connector 12.

[0031] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, a second conveying hose 13 is fixedly installed on the rear right side of the central box 2, and a second connecting pipe 14 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the second conveying hose 13.

[0032] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first spray bar 4 is fixedly connected to the front end of the frame 1 through the first fixing ring 5. The first spray bar 4 and the second spray bar 6 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the central box 2 with the central box 2 as the center reference. The first spray bar 4 and the second spray bar 6 are structural boxes.

[0033] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper structures of the first fixing ring 5 and the second fixing ring 7 are the same. The first delivery hose 8 is fixedly connected to the medicine box 25 through the connector 12. The first delivery hose 8 and the second delivery hose 13 have the same structure.

[0034] In some examples, the upper structure is placed via frame 1, and the central tank 2 connects the first spray bar 4 and the second spray bar 6. The lower ends of the two main medicine tanks 25 are connected to delivery hose 1 8 and delivery hose 2 13 respectively via connector 12. The upper ends of delivery hose 1 8 and delivery hose 2 13 are connected to the central tank 2. When spraying medicine, the delivery pump 3 draws out the medicine from the main medicine tanks 25, and the medicine is delivered to the central tank 2 via delivery hose 1 8 and delivery hose 2 13. The central tank 2 distributes the medicine to the first spray bar 4 and the second spray bar 6 on both sides for spraying. The first connecting pipe 10 and the second connecting pipe 14 are connected to the spare tank 19 via connector 20. When the medicine in the main medicine tank 25 is about to run out... The water level sensor 26 at its lower end sends a signal. The water level sensor 26 is an ultrasonic liquid level sensor DL14-01. After receiving the signal, the controller (PLC) opens the valve 11 on the first connecting pipe 10 and the second connecting pipe 14 in advance to prepare for switching to the standby tank 19. When the liquid in the main medicine tank 25 is completely used up, the controller closes the valve 9 on the first delivery hose 8 and the second delivery hose 13 to cut off the liquid supply to the main medicine tank 25. The liquid in the standby tank 19 is discharged through the first connecting pipe 10 and the second connecting pipe 14, and is transported to the central tank 2 through the front end of the first delivery hose 8 and the second delivery hose 13. Finally, it is continuously sprayed through the first spray bar 4 and the second spray bar 6.

[0035] For example, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, it illustrates a continuous spraying device for plant protection helicopters in another embodiment of the present invention, including a sliding plate 15 fixedly installed at the rear of the upper end of the frame 1, a sliding groove 16 fixedly opened inside the sliding plate 15, fixing holes 17 fixedly opened on both sides of the outer end of the sliding plate 15, a sliding block 18 fixedly connected inside the sliding groove 16, a spare box 19 fixedly installed at the upper end of the sliding block 18, and a connector 20 fixedly installed at the front of the upper end of the spare box 19.

[0036] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, a mounting bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spare box 19, and a support bracket 22 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the mounting bracket 21. Connecting grooves 23 are fixedly opened on both sides inside the mounting bracket 21, and mounting holes 24 are opened inside the connecting grooves 23. A medicine box 25 is fixedly connected inside the spare box 19, and a water level sensor 26 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the medicine box 25. Connecting blocks 27 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the medicine box 25, and insertion holes 28 are fixedly opened on the upper end of the connecting blocks 27.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sliding plate 15 is U-shaped, the sliding groove 16 and the sliding block 18 form a sliding connection, the fixing hole 17 is symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the sliding plate 15 with the sliding plate 15 as the center reference, and the spare box 19 is fixedly connected to the first connecting pipe 10 and the second connecting pipe 14 through the front end connector 20.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting groove 23 is symmetrically installed on the front and back sides of the mounting frame 21 with the interior of the mounting frame 21 as the center reference. The support frame 22 is U-shaped. The connecting block 27 and the connecting groove 23 form a sliding connection. The connecting block 27 is symmetrically installed on the front and back sides of the medicine box 25 with the medicine box 25 as the center reference.

[0039] In some examples, the mounting bracket 21 is flanged to both sides of the upper part of the helicopter. A connecting groove 23 is formed inside the mounting bracket 21. A support frame 22 is fixed to the lower end of the mounting bracket 21 to support the medicine box 25. Connecting blocks 27 are installed on both sides of the medicine box 25. During installation, the connecting blocks 27 are inserted into the connecting groove 23 inside the mounting bracket 21, so that the medicine box 25 sits on the support frame 22. Insertion holes 28 are formed on both sides of the connecting blocks 27, and mounting holes 24 are formed inside the connecting groove 23. The insertion holes 28 and mounting holes 24 are aligned, and the connecting blocks 27 are fastened in the connecting groove 23 using flange connections (such as bolts), thereby firmly installing the medicine box 25 on the mounting bracket 21. A sliding block 18 is installed at the lower end of the spare box 19. A sliding groove 16 is formed inside the sliding plate 15. The sliding block 18 at the lower end of the spare box 19 is placed into the sliding groove 16 of the sliding plate 15. 5. Fixing holes 17 are provided on both sides. The sliding block 18 is fastened to the sliding plate 15 by flange connection (such as bolts). The fixing holes 17 are aligned with the corresponding holes on the sliding block 18 to fix the spare box 19. When disassembling, use an automatic screwdriver to quickly remove the fixing screws (flange connectors) between the connecting block 27 and the connecting groove 23. The medicine box 25 is then horizontally pulled out from the connecting groove 23 of the mounting bracket 21 through the connecting blocks 27 on both sides. When installing a new medicine box 25, the above steps are reversed. The connecting block 27 of the new medicine box 25 is inserted into the connecting groove 23, the holes are aligned, and the fixing screws are tightened with an automatic screwdriver. When disassembling the spare box 19, use an automatic screwdriver to quickly remove the fixing screws between the fixing holes 17 and the sliding block 18. The spare box 19 is then horizontally pulled out from the sliding groove 16 of the sliding plate 15 through the lower sliding block 18.

[0040] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
