Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fertilization device technology, and in particular to a fertilization device for cherry tomato cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Cherry tomatoes are plants belonging to the Solanaceae family and the Solanum genus. They are also known as mini tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, etc. They can be used as both vegetables and fruits. Their vitamin content is 1.7 times that of ordinary tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are annual herbaceous plants belonging to the Solanaceae family and the Solanum genus. They are highly adaptable and resistant. They prefer potassium fertilizer, light, and a relatively high amount of water. The ideal relative humidity is 45% to 50%. They can be cultivated all year round in my country.

[0003] The current cherry tomato cultivation process requires fertilization around its roots, which is usually done manually. Since chemical fertilizers need to be sprinkled on the cherry tomato roots, workers need to bend over for long periods of time, which makes the fertilization process labor-intensive and very hard on the workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a fertilization device for cherry tomato cultivation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A fertilization device for cherry tomato cultivation includes a fixed frame with adjusting rods fixedly installed at both ends. A support frame is provided below the adjusting rods, and the adjusting rods can be movably locked at the top end of the support frame. A servo motor is fixedly installed at the right end of the fixed frame. A threaded rod is movably installed in a groove at the top of the fixed frame. A connecting block is movably installed on the fixed frame, and the connecting block is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod. A storage bin is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block, and a connecting cover is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the storage bin. Feed pipes are provided on both sides of the connecting cover, and a fixed block is provided on the bottom side of the feed pipes.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a baffle is fixedly installed at the connection between the storage bin and the connecting cover, a bearing is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting cover, a rotating rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner ring of the bearing, the top end of the rotating rod penetrates the baffle and extends upward to the bottom of the fixed frame, a material distribution block is fixedly installed on the rotating rod, and the material distribution block is located directly below the baffle.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a rotating wheel is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rod, and a rubber ring is fitted on the outer side of the rotating wheel. The bottom of the fixing frame has equidistant locking holes, and a locking block is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block. The locking block can be locked into the locking holes, and the fixing block is fixed to the bottom of the fixing frame by the locking block. A friction pad is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing block. After the fixing block is installed at the bottom of the fixing frame, when the rotating wheel passes over the fixing block, the outer rubber ring can contact the friction pad to generate friction.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a limiting pin is movably installed on the top of the support frame, the limiting pin passes through the support frame, and a limiting groove is opened on the side wall of the adjusting rod, so that the limiting pin can be engaged in the limiting groove.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the feed pipe is welded and installed on the connecting cover at the position corresponding to the material distribution block, and the feed pipe is connected to the inside of the connecting cover.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this invention, the length of the friction pad on the fixing block is equal to half the circumference of the rubber ring.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In this invention, the threaded rod drives the connecting block to control the storage bin to move at a constant speed between the cherry tomato seedlings. At this time, the groove on the distributing block is aligned with the one on the baffle, and the fertilizer in the storage bin will fall into the distributing block for temporary storage. When passing the cherry tomato seedlings, one side of the rubber ring will contact the friction pad on the fixed block to generate greater friction. Since the length of the friction pad is equal to half the circumference of the rubber ring, the rubber ring will drive the rotating rod to control the distributing block to rotate 180°. When the groove of the distributing block rotates to connect with the feed pipe, the fertilizer in the distributing block will be transported to the roots of the cherry tomato seedlings through the feed pipe, thereby achieving automatic fertilization of the cherry tomato seedlings without requiring workers to bend over for a long time to fertilize, reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5A fertilization device for cherry tomato cultivation includes a fixed frame 1, with adjusting rods 3 fixedly installed at both ends of the fixed frame 1. A support frame 4 is provided below the adjusting rods 3, and the adjusting rods 3 can be movably locked at the top end of the support frame 4. A servo motor 7 is fixedly installed at the right end of the fixed frame 1. A threaded rod 2 is movably installed in the top groove of the fixed frame 1. A connecting block 8 is movably installed on the fixed frame 1, and the connecting block 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 2. The output end of the servo motor 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 2. A storage bin 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block 8. A connecting cover 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom middle position of the storage bin 9. Feed pipes 11 are provided on both sides of the connecting cover 10, and a fixed block 12 is provided on the bottom side of the feed pipes 11.

[0024] In this embodiment, a baffle 14 is fixedly installed at the connection between the storage bin 9 and the connecting cover 10. A bearing 16 is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting cover 10. A rotating rod 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner ring of the bearing 16. The top end of the rotating rod 13 penetrates the baffle 14 and extends upward to the bottom of the fixing frame 1. A material distribution block 15 is fixedly installed on the rotating rod 13. The material distribution block 15 is located directly below the baffle 14. A rotating wheel 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rod 13. A rubber ring 18 is fitted on the outer side of the rotating wheel 17. The bottom of the fixing frame 1 has equidistant locking holes 19. A locking block 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block 12. 21 can be inserted into the card hole 19. The fixing block 12 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing frame 1 by the card block 21. The friction pad 20 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing block 12. After the fixing block 12 is installed at the bottom of the fixing frame 1, the planting spacing of the tomato seedlings corresponding to the fixing block 12 is fixed at the bottom of the fixing frame 1. When the rotating wheel 17 passes through the fixing block 12, the outer rubber ring 18 can contact the friction pad 20 to generate friction. When one side of the rubber ring 18 contacts the friction pad 20 on the fixing block 12 and generates greater friction, since the rotating rod 13 can rotate, the rubber ring 18 continues to move forward, and the rubber ring 18 will drive the rotating rod 13 to rotate.

[0025] In this embodiment, a limiting nail 6 is movably installed on the top of the support frame 4. The limiting nail 6 passes through the support frame 4. A limiting groove 5 is opened on the side wall of the adjusting rod 3. The limiting nail 6 can be inserted into the limiting groove 5. The limiting nail 6 is pulled out from the limiting groove 5. The position of the adjusting rod 3 on the support frame 4 is controlled to adjust the height of the fixing frame 1 so that the feed pipes 11 on both sides of the connecting cover 10 can be aligned with the roots of the cherry tomato seedlings. Then the limiting nail 6 is reinserted into the limiting groove 5 to fix the adjusting rod 3 in the current position, thereby achieving precise fertilization of the roots of the cherry tomato seedlings by adjusting the height.

[0026] In this embodiment, the feed pipe 11 is welded and installed on the connecting cover 10 at the position corresponding to the distribution block 15. The feed pipe 11 is connected to the inside of the connecting cover 10. When the groove of the distribution block 15 is rotated to connect with the feed pipe 11, the fertilizer in the distribution block 15 will be transported to the roots of the cherry tomato seedling through the feed pipe 11.

[0027] In this embodiment, the length of the friction pad 20 on the fixed block 12 is equal to half the circumference of the rubber ring 18. Since the length of the friction pad 20 is equal to half the circumference of the rubber ring 18, the rubber ring 18 will drive the rotating rod 13 to control the material distribution block 15 to rotate 180°.

[0028] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: When in use, the device is moved between the cherry tomato seedlings, and then the limiting nail 6 is pulled out from the limiting groove 5. The position of the adjusting rod 3 on the support frame 4 is controlled to adjust the height of the fixing frame 1 so that the feeding pipes 11 on both sides of the connecting cover 10 can be aligned with the roots of the cherry tomato seedlings. Then the limiting nail 6 is reinserted into the limiting groove 5 to fix the adjusting rod 3 in the current position, thereby achieving the ability to adjust the height and accurately fertilize the roots of the cherry tomato seedlings.

[0029] During fertilization, the fixing block 12 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing frame 1, corresponding to the planting spacing of the cherry tomato seedlings. Then, fertilizer is poured into the rotating rod 13. Finally, the servo motor 7 is started to drive the threaded rod 2 to rotate. The threaded rod 2 can drive the connecting block 8 to control the storage bin 9 to move at a uniform speed between the cherry tomato seedlings. At this time, the groove on the distributing block 15 is aligned with the one on the baffle 14. The fertilizer in the storage bin 9 will fall into the distributing block 15 for temporary storage. When passing over the cherry tomato seedlings, one side of the rubber ring 18 will contact the friction pad 20 on the fixing block 12, generating greater friction. Due to the rotating rod 13 can rotate, and at this time the rubber ring 18 continues to move forward. The rubber ring 18 will drive the rotating rod 13 to rotate. Since the length of the friction pad 20 is equal to half the circumference of the rubber ring 18, the rubber ring 18 will drive the rotating rod 13 to control the distribution block 15 to rotate 180°. When the groove of the distribution block 15 rotates to connect with the feed pipe 11, the fertilizer in the distribution block 15 will be transported to the roots of the cherry tomato seedlings through the feed pipe 11, thereby achieving automatic fertilization of the cherry tomato seedlings without the need for workers to bend over for a long time to fertilize, greatly reducing the labor intensity of the workers.
