Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural lifting device technology, and specifically relates to an irrigation belt lifter. Background Technology
[0002] Drip irrigation technology, as a highly efficient water-saving irrigation method, has been widely used in the cultivation of crops such as sugarcane. It delivers water and nutrients directly and evenly to the crop roots through drip irrigation tape laid on the ground, significantly improving water and fertilizer utilization and promoting crop growth. In sugarcane cultivation and management, hilling is usually carried out in the early stages of growth. Hilling prevents lodging, increases root zone soil thickness, and suppresses weeds. However, hilling can lead to the drip irrigation tape, which was originally laid flat on the ground, being covered and compacted by a large amount of soil.
[0003] To ensure the proper use of drip irrigation tape after hilling, it needs to be lifted out of the soil. Traditionally, this involves manual lifting of the drip irrigation tubing, including disassembly, lifting, and reinstallation – a cumbersome, inefficient, and labor-intensive process. Some people use bamboo poles to lift the tape, but this is also inconvenient and causes fatigue. Furthermore, existing sugarcane hilling machines are generally designed for inter-row hilling and are not suitable for lifting the drip irrigation tape during the hilling process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an irrigation belt lifter to solve the problems of the existing need for manual lifting of the drip irrigation belt after crop hilling, which is cumbersome and labor-intensive.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an irrigation tape lifter, characterized in that it includes an operating rod, a support frame, a grooved pulley, and a ground wheel. The support frame is fixed to one end of the operating rod, and the ground wheel is installed on the end of the support frame away from the operating rod. The grooved pulley is also installed on the support frame above the ground wheel. The grooved pulley is used to lift the drip irrigation tape.
[0006] Preferably, the support frame includes an inverted L-shaped support plate and a connecting fixing plate. The short side of the inverted L-shaped support plate is connected to the operating rod, and the grooved pulley and the ground wheel are installed at intervals on the long side of the inverted L-shaped support plate. The other ends of the grooved pulley and the ground wheel are respectively installed on the connecting fixing plate.
[0007] Preferably, it further includes a ground wheel shaft and a pulley shaft. The ground wheel shaft passes through the inverted L-shaped support plate, the ground wheel, and the connecting fixing plate in sequence. Bolts are installed on the ground wheel shaft on the outer side of the inverted L-shaped support plate and the connecting fixing plate to fix the ground wheel shaft. The ground wheel can rotate relative to the ground wheel shaft. The pulley shaft passes through the inverted L-shaped support plate, the grooved pulley, and the connecting fixing plate in sequence. Bolts are installed on the pulley shaft on the outer side of the inverted L-shaped support plate and the connecting fixing plate to fix the pulley shaft. The grooved pulley can rotate relative to the ground wheel shaft.
[0008] Preferably, it also includes a ground wheel limiting ring, which is installed on the ground wheel shaft between the inverted L-shaped support plate and the connecting fixing plate, and is rotatably connected to the ground wheel to limit the lateral movement of the ground wheel.
[0009] Preferably, it also includes a pulley limiting ring, which is installed on the pulley shaft between the inverted L-shaped support plate and the connecting fixing plate, and is rotatably connected to the grooved pulley to limit the lateral movement of the grooved pulley.
[0010] Preferably, the support frame further includes a baffle plate, which is installed on the short side of the inverted L-shaped support plate. An irrigation tape placement opening is provided between the baffle plate and the connecting fixing plate, and the irrigation tape placement opening is located above the grooved pulley.
[0011] Preferably, the baffle and the inverted L-shaped support piece are integrally formed.
[0012] Preferably, the baffle is hinged to the inverted L-shaped support piece, and a limit spring is also provided between the baffle and the inverted L-shaped support piece.
[0013] Preferably, the operating lever is a telescopic structure.
[0014] Preferably, the end of the operating lever away from the support frame is bent.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model features a grooved pulley above the ground wheel. In use, the drip irrigation tape is placed on the grooved pulley. As the ground wheel moves along the planting row, the grooved pulley lifts the drip irrigation tape from the soil, making operation convenient and simple. The grooved pulley not only facilitates the placement of the drip irrigation tape but also allows the pulley to roll relative to the tape, reducing resistance. Furthermore, the entire lifting device can be moved manually by holding the operating lever, eliminating the need to bend over and reducing labor intensity.
[0016] 2. This utility model has a simple overall structure and low cost. The support frame includes an inverted L-shaped support piece, a connecting fixing piece, and a baffle, forming an inverted U-shape with an opening for placing the irrigation tape. This facilitates the installation of the ground wheel and grooved pulley, and also creates a cavity to accommodate the drip irrigation tape, preventing it from slipping and affecting the smoothness of operation. The baffle can be integrally formed with the inverted L-shaped support piece, or it can be elastically connected to it, further preventing the drip irrigation tape from slipping.
[0017] 3. This utility model is easy to operate and carry, and is especially suitable for use on sugarcane in hilly areas (it works even better in open areas). The free end of the operating rod is bent, which facilitates lifting and carrying. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, an irrigation tape lifter includes an operating rod 1, a support frame 2, a grooved pulley 3, and a ground wheel 4. The support frame 2 is fixed to one end of the operating rod 1, and the ground wheel 4 is installed at the end of the support frame 2 away from the operating rod 1. The grooved pulley 3 is also installed on the support frame 2 above the ground wheel 4. This application utilizes the grooved pulley 3 to lift the drip irrigation tape 9, solving the problems of cumbersome operation and high labor intensity that require manual lifting of the drip irrigation tape 9 after crop hilling.
[0024] Combination Figure 2The support frame 2 includes an inverted L-shaped support plate 21, a connecting fixing plate 22, and a baffle plate 23. The short side of the inverted L-shaped support plate 21 is connected to the operating lever 1. The grooved pulley 3 and the ground wheel 4 are installed at intervals on the long side of the inverted L-shaped support plate 21. The grooved pulley 3 and the ground wheel 4 are respectively installed in the middle and lower part of the long side of the inverted L-shaped support plate 21. The other end of the grooved pulley 3 and the ground wheel 4 are respectively installed on the connecting fixing plate 22. The connecting fixing plate 22 is a vertical plate parallel to the long side of the inverted L-shaped support plate 21. The top of the connecting fixing plate 22 is higher than the grooved pulley 3 and lower than the top of the long side of the inverted L-shaped support plate 21. The baffle 23 is installed at the other end of the short side of the inverted L-shaped support piece 21, and the baffle 23 is parallel to the long side of the inverted L-shaped support piece 21. An irrigation tape placement opening is provided between the baffle 23 and the connecting fixing piece 22. The entire support frame 2 is an inverted U-shape with the irrigation tape placement opening, which is located above the grooved pulley 3. In this embodiment, the baffle 23 and the inverted L-shaped support piece 21 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the baffle 23 is hinged to the inverted L-shaped support piece 21, and a limit spring is also provided between the baffle 23 and the inverted L-shaped support piece 21. The baffle 23 provides a more balanced structure and can form a receiving cavity for the drip irrigation tape 9 with the inverted L-shaped support piece 21 and part of the connecting fixing piece 22, preventing the drip irrigation tape 9 from slipping and affecting the smoothness of operation.
[0025] Combination Figure 1 The system also includes a ground wheel 4 axle and a pulley axle 6. The ground wheel 4 axle passes sequentially through the inverted L-shaped support plate 21, the ground wheel 4, and the connecting fixing plate 22. Bolts are installed on the ground wheel 4 axle on the outer side of the inverted L-shaped support plate 21 and the connecting fixing plate 22 to fix the ground wheel 4 axle. The ground wheel 4 can rotate relative to the ground wheel 4 axle. The pulley axle 6 passes sequentially through the inverted L-shaped support plate 21, the grooved pulley 3, and the connecting fixing plate 22. Bolts are installed on the pulley axle 6 on the outer side of the inverted L-shaped support plate 21 and the connecting fixing plate 22 to fix the pulley axle 6. The grooved pulley 3 can rotate relative to the ground wheel 4 axle. Preferably, the system also includes a ground wheel 4 limiting ring 7. The ground wheel 4 limiting ring 7 is installed on the ground wheel 4 axle between the inverted L-shaped support plate 21 and the connecting fixing plate 22 and is rotatably connected to the ground wheel 4 to limit the lateral movement of the ground wheel 4. In other embodiments, the ground wheel 4 and the grooved pulley 3 can also be installed using other existing installation methods. The ground wheel 4 and the grooved pulley 3 of this application are spaced vertically, resulting in a simple structure, small footprint, ease of manual operation, and reduced impact on crops. The ground wheel 4 reduces the intensity of manual operation and eliminates the need for workers to bend over.
[0026] Furthermore, the end of the operating lever 1 away from the support frame 2 is bent, and a handle glove 8 can be fitted onto the bent part of the operating lever 1. The bent design of the operating lever 1 facilitates lifting operation and makes it easy to carry. In other embodiments, the operating lever 1 can also be made into a telescopic structure, making it more convenient to carry and adjust.
[0027] Combination Figure 3 This irrigation belt lifter is used to lift the drip irrigation belt 9 in the sugarcane field after hilling. First, the drip irrigation belt 9 is manually passed through the irrigation belt, the opening is placed, and it is placed on the grooved pulley 3. The operator drags the operating rod 1 along the sugarcane planting row, which drives the support frame 2 and the ground wheel 4 of the support frame 2 to move along the planting row where the drip irrigation belt 9 is located. As the support frame 2 and the ground wheel 4 move, the grooved pulley 3 above the ground wheel 4 also moves. Since the grooved pulley 3 is higher than the ground wheel 4, the drip irrigation belt 9 can be lifted to the soil surface. The operation is convenient and quick.
[0028] In summary, this utility model, by setting a grooved pulley 3 above the ground wheel 4, allows the drip irrigation tape 9 to be placed on the grooved pulley 3 during use. As the ground wheel 4 moves along the planting row, the grooved pulley 3 lifts the drip irrigation tape 9 from the soil, making operation convenient and simple. This utility model has a simple overall structure, low cost, and is easy to carry, making it particularly suitable for use in sugarcane planting in hilly areas.
