Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granular water-soluble fertilizer processing technology, specifically to a granular water-soluble fertilizer metering device. Background Technology
[0002] Granular water-soluble fertilizer is a multi-element compound fertilizer that is completely soluble in water. It is in granular form and is a new category in the water-soluble fertilizer industry. Unlike traditional powdered or liquid water-soluble fertilizers, granular water-soluble fertilizer exists in solid granule form. It comes in various colors (yellow, brown, white, etc.), with uniform particle size. It contains macro-elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and trace elements. Some products also contain added bioactive ingredients (such as amino acids and humic acid).
[0003] In the production and processing of granular water-soluble fertilizer, metering equipment is used to measure and dispense the fertilizer. Traditional metering equipment consists of weighing sensors, PLC control modules, pneumatic actuators, etc., which have high maintenance costs, require high technical skills from operators, have a relatively complex structure, and are relatively troublesome to operate.
[0004] Therefore, a metering device for granular water-soluble fertilizer is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a granular water-soluble fertilizer metering device in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution: A granular water-soluble fertilizer metering device includes a fixed plate and four metering hoppers. A support column is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate, and a fixed frame is provided at the top of the fixed plate. Two feeding hoppers are provided on the fixed frame, and each of the two feeding hoppers has a scraper. A rotating mechanism for circumferential rotation is provided on the fixed plate. Each of the four metering hoppers has a scraper and a set of connecting mechanisms for locking the connection. A discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate, and one of the metering hoppers corresponds to the discharge pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a limiting cylinder, the top of the fixing plate passes through a limiting circular hole, and the limiting cylinder is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the limiting circular hole. A connecting plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the limiting cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the connecting plate has four feed inlets, which correspond to the feeding hopper and the metering hopper.
[0009] Furthermore, a servo motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate, and a limiting cylinder is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes two mounting blocks, which are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the measuring hopper. Bolts are threaded onto both mounting blocks, and the bolts are threaded onto the connecting plate.
[0011] Furthermore, two blocking blocks are fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate, and the blocking blocks are in contact with the mounting block.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model, through the arrangement of scraper shells, a rotating mechanism, and a connecting mechanism, allows for the use of granular water-soluble fertilizer. Granular water-soluble fertilizer is placed inside two feeding hoppers, and the fertilizer inside these hoppers is then fed into two metering hoppers via the rotating mechanism. A fixed plate blocks the discharge ports of the three metering hoppers, preventing the fertilizer from being discharged through the outlet pipe. When two metering hoppers are full, the rotating mechanism drives the four metering hoppers and four scraper shells to rotate, replacing the two full hoppers. One of the full hoppers then aligns with the outlet pipe, discharging fertilizer. The two scraper shells and four scraper shells effectively remove and prevent excess fertilizer leakage. The connecting mechanism facilitates the replacement of the four metering hoppers, enabling metered feeding of granular water-soluble fertilizer and simplifying the installation and disassembly of the metering hoppers. This design offers improved flexibility, a simple structure, convenient operation, and strong practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a granular water-soluble fertilizer metering device includes a fixed plate 1 and four metering hoppers 6. A support column 2 is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate 1, and a fixed frame 3 is provided at the top of the fixed plate 1. Two feeding hoppers 4 are provided on the fixed frame 3, and scrapers 5 are provided on the exterior of each feeding hopper 4. A rotating mechanism 8 for circumferential rotation is provided on the fixed plate 1. Figure 1-3As shown, specifically, the rotating mechanism 8 includes a limiting cylinder 802, the top of the fixing plate 1 passes through a limiting hole 801, and the limiting cylinder 802 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the limiting hole 801. A connecting plate 803 is fixedly mounted on the top of the limiting cylinder 802, and four feed ports 804 pass through the top of the connecting plate 803. The feed ports 804 correspond to the feeding hopper 4 and the metering hopper 6. A servo motor 805 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixing plate 1, and the limiting cylinder 802 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo motor 805.
[0020] More specifically, the servo motor 805 is started, which drives the limiting cylinder 802 to rotate within the limiting hole 801, and the connecting plate 803 rotates accordingly. The four feed ports 804 will be staggered with the two feeding hoppers 4, and the material will be alternately discharged into the metering hopper 6. With the cooperation of the two scrapers 5, the metering hopper 6 can be metered and loaded.
[0021] Each of the four metering hoppers 6 is equipped with a scraper shell 7 on its exterior. Each of the four metering hoppers 6 is also equipped with a connecting mechanism 9 for locking the connection. A discharge pipe 10 is located at the bottom of the fixing plate 1, and one of the metering hoppers 6 corresponds to the discharge pipe 10. Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the connecting mechanism 9 includes two mounting blocks 901, which are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the metering hopper 6. Each mounting block 901 is threaded with a bolt 903, which is threaded onto the connecting plate 803. Two blocking blocks 902 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the connecting plate 803, and the blocking blocks 902 are in contact with the mounting blocks 901.
[0022] More specifically, when installing and connecting the measuring hopper 6 and the connecting plate 803, the measuring hopper 6 is placed between the fixing plate 1 and the connecting plate 803, so that the mounting block 901 and the blocking block 902 come into contact, thus completing the installation and positioning. Then, the measuring hopper 6 is locked and connected by bolts 903, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the measuring hopper 6.
[0023] In summary, during use, granular water-soluble fertilizer is placed inside the two feeding hoppers 4. The granular water-soluble fertilizer inside the two feeding hoppers 4 is then fed into two of the metering hoppers 6 via the rotating mechanism 8. Because the fixing plate 1 blocks the discharge ports of the three metering hoppers 6, the granular water-soluble fertilizer inside the three metering hoppers 6 will not be discharged out of the discharge pipe 10. When the granular water-soluble fertilizer inside two of the metering hoppers 6 is full, the rotating mechanism 8 drives the four metering hoppers 6 and the four scrapers 7 to rotate. The other two metering hoppers 6 will replace the two full metering hoppers 6. One of the full metering hoppers 6 will correspond to the discharge pipe 10 and discharge the fertilizer. The two scrapers 5 and the four scrapers 7 are set up to scrape off and prevent excess granular water-soluble fertilizer from leaking out. When it is necessary to replace the four metering hoppers 6, it can be done through the connecting mechanism 9. This achieves metered feeding of granular water-soluble fertilizer, facilitates the installation and disassembly of the metering hoppers 6, improves flexibility, has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is highly practical.
[0024] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
