Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the agricultural field, and more specifically, to a liquid tank for agricultural drones. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, rural areas have relied on manual backpack sprayers to control agricultural and forestry pests and diseases. This method requires farmers to engage in strenuous physical labor and is inefficient, failing to meet the demands of modern agriculture for large-scale and precise control. In contrast, agricultural drones, as an innovative achievement of modern agricultural technology, significantly reduce the intensity of manual labor. By storing pesticides in a liquid tank and working with atomizing nozzles, they achieve uniform coverage of pesticides, effectively improving control results and providing important support for sustainable agricultural development.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN221264959U discloses "an agricultural drone pesticide tank, comprising a water tank, a waterproof casing fixedly installed on the top of the water tank, a motor fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the waterproof casing, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a stirring fan fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the rotating shaft, a disc threadedly connected to one side of the stirring fan, a water inlet pipe fixedly installed on one side of the waterproof casing, a feed pipe fixedly installed on one side of the waterproof casing, a water outlet pipe fixedly installed on the other side of the waterproof casing, and a square plate threadedly connected to the bottom of the water tank. By providing rotary switches on the outer sides of the water outlet pipe, water inlet pipe, and feed pipe, the feed pipe and water inlet pipe can be rotated to close during drone spraying, preventing pesticide leakage; the square plate is connected to the water tank by bolts, making pesticide spraying more stable." However, the following defects still exist:

[0004] (1) In actual use, the liquid medicine and water contain impurities. The closed structure of the device makes it inconvenient to process the filter screen. If the filter screen is not replaced or cleaned for a long time, it will become clogged, affecting the accurate control of the flow rate of the sprayed medicine, and thus producing adverse effects.

[0005] (2) In actual use, although the device is designed with a multi-pipe layout, it still relies heavily on manual experience to mix the drug and water, which poses a risk of fluctuation in the accuracy of the ratio. The subjective judgment operation mode makes it difficult to guarantee the stability of the prevention and control effect. Therefore, an agricultural drone liquid tank is proposed.
