Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navel orange cultivation, specifically a root fertilization device for navel orange cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] When fertilizing navel oranges, it's crucial to apply fertilizer to the roots based on their growth environment. The depth of fertilization must be carefully controlled; it shouldn't be too deep or too shallow. Currently, fertilizer operators typically turn over the soil around the tree to a certain depth, then spread fertilizer and mix it with the soil. The depth of fertilization is determined by the operator's experience. If a new operator lacks experience, they may fail to achieve the desired fertilization effect. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a root fertilization device for navel orange cultivation to adjust the fertilization depth.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the specific solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A root fertilization device for navel orange cultivation includes a base with an open top, a support rod extending upward from the top of the base, a cylindrical structure of the base, and several through grooves at the bottom of the base. A sliding rod is slidably connected within each groove, a limiting plate is located at the top of the sliding rod, and a flap is located at the bottom of the sliding rod. The angle between the flap and the sliding rod is less than 10°. An adjusting disc is slidably connected to the support rod, and the adjusting disc is threaded to the inner wall of the base. The depth of the sliding rod and the flap into the soil is adjusted by rotating the adjusting disc.
[0005] The base and the adjusting plate form a storage cavity for storing fertilizer. A feeding groove is provided on the side of the slide. The bottom of the limiting plate is provided with a pressing rod that matches the feeding groove. The pressing rod slides up and down with the sliding rod to squeeze the fertilizer in the storage cavity downward.
[0006] The top of the adjustment disc is equipped with a handle that allows the operator to rotate it.
[0007] The base has a conduit on its outer circumference. The conduit has a hollow interior. A connecting pipe is provided on one side of the conduit. An installation pipe with an upward opening is provided at the top of the connecting pipe. The inner wall of the installation pipe has threads for connecting to the mouth of a beverage bottle. A valve is provided on the connecting pipe for connecting the installation pipe and the conduit. Water outlet pipes with downward openings are distributed at the bottom of the conduit.
[0008] The top of the support rod is provided with a handle for easy gripping by the operator, and the handle is covered with a rubber anti-slip sleeve.
[0009] The base has a foot pedal on its side for easy access by the operator.
[0010] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. The depth of the sliding rod into the soil is adjusted by setting an adjustment disc. The operator can judge the fertilization depth by the contact length between the sliding rod and the ground, which makes it easier for beginners to use and can better ensure the fertilization depth.
[0011] 2. By setting up a feeding trough, it is easy to carry the fertilizer out during the fertilization process, so as to mix the fertilizer with the soil when loosening the soil. Moreover, storing fertilizer on the base can reduce the need for operators to carry fertilizer back and forth between the fruit trees in the orchard during the fertilization process.
[0012] 3. The conduit on the side of the base facilitates watering during fertilization. The conduit also allows for easy installation of beverage bottles, making it quicker to replace the bottles for water storage. The valve controls the water volume, making fertilization more convenient and efficient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0014] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a root fertilization device for navel orange cultivation includes a base 1 with an open top. The base 1 has a cylindrical structure, and a support rod 2 extending upward from the top of the base 1. The support rod 2 and the base 1 are integrally formed and welded together. The bottom of the base 1 has several through grooves, and sliding rods 11 are slidably connected within the grooves. A limiting plate 14 is provided at the top of the sliding rod 11, and a flap 12 is provided at the bottom of the sliding rod 11. Figure 4 and Figure 4As shown, the included angle between the flap 12 and the sliding rod 11 is less than 90°. By inserting the flap 12 and the sliding rod 11 into the ground, the soil is turned over, which has the effect of loosening the soil. The support rod 2 is provided with a slidingly connected adjustment plate 4. The adjustment plate 4 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the base 1. The insertion depth of the sliding rod 11 and the flap 12 into the soil is adjusted by rotating the adjustment plate 4. Since it is necessary to control the fertilization depth, it is necessary to adjust the insertion depth of the flap 12 into the ground. The top of the adjustment plate 4 is provided with a handle 5 for easy rotation by the operator. The length of the sliding rod 11 inside the base 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment plate 4.
[0015] The base 1 and the adjusting plate 4 form a storage cavity for storing fertilizer. By rotating the adjusting plate 4, the adjusting plate 4 can be separated from the base 1, thereby loading the fertilizer into the base 1. The side of the sliding groove is provided with a feeding groove 101. The bottom of the limiting plate 14 is provided with a pressing rod 15 that is adapted to the feeding groove 101. The pressing rod 15 presses the fertilizer in the storage cavity downward with each up and down movement of the sliding rod 11. Since there is a gap between the limiting plate 14 and the adjusting plate 4, each time the base 1 is lifted, the limiting plate 14 will move downward with the sliding rod 11 under the action of gravity. During the movement, the pressing rod 15 presses the fertilizer out.
[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a conduit 6 is provided on the outer circumference of the base 1. The conduit 6 has a hollow structure inside. A connecting pipe 7 is provided on one side of the conduit 6. An installation pipe 8 with an upward opening is provided on the top of the connecting pipe 7. The inner wall of the installation pipe 8 is provided with threads for connecting to the mouth of a beverage bottle. Common beverage bottles can be connected to the installation pipe 8. A valve 9 is provided on the connecting pipe 7 for connecting the installation pipe 8 and the conduit 6. A water outlet pipe 13 with an downward opening is distributed at the bottom of the conduit 6. The valve 9 used in this utility model is existing technology and can be a ball valve, which will not be described in detail here. Opening the valve 9 can make water flow out, thereby playing a role in further mixing fertilizer with soil during the fertilization process.
[0017] The top of the support rod 2 is provided with a handle 3 for easy hand gripping by the operator, and the handle 3 is covered with a rubber anti-slip sleeve.
[0018] The base 1 is provided with a foot pedal 10 on its side for easy footing by the operator. The foot pedal 10 allows the operator to apply force with their feet.
[0019] The method of using this utility model is briefly described as follows: In use, first adjust the depth of the flap 12 according to the desired fertilization depth. To adjust, press down the base 1 so that the bottom of the sliding rod 11 contacts the ground. Then rotate the adjusting disc 4 to push the sliding rod 11 out of the base by the required length, thus achieving the desired fertilization depth. During fertilization, repeatedly insert the flap 12 as shown in the diagram to loosen the soil around the navel orange. During this loosening process, scatter the fertilizer into the soil. Alternatively, the fertilizer can be placed in the base 1 below the adjusting disc 4. Moving the sliding rod 11 upwards will position the fertilizer at the discharge trough 101. When the base is lifted, the weight of the flap 12 itself and the weight of the soil it carries will cause it to slide downwards. During this sliding process, the pressing rod 15 will press the fertilizer out from the discharge trough 101.
[0020] By filling a beverage bottle with water and connecting it to the installation pipe 8, water can be sprayed during the soil turning process. The installation pipe 8 will send water into the conduit 6 through the valve 9, and the water outlet pipe 13 at the bottom of the conduit 6 will spray water evenly and slowly, thereby moistening the soil and making it easier to turn and loosen it.
