[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-3 ,in, Figure 1 A front view schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation device for Chinese medicinal materials provided by this utility model; Figure 2 A front sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation device for Chinese medicinal materials provided by this utility model; Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows an enlarged view of part A.
[0018] The integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation device for Chinese medicinal herbs includes: a treatment tank 1; a weight sensor 2, which is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the treatment tank 1; a mixing tank 3, which is slidably installed inside the treatment tank 1, with its bottom in contact with the weight sensor 2; a guide hopper 4, which is fixedly installed on the treatment tank 1, with its bottom opening extending into the mixing tank 3; a feed inlet 5, which is located on the treatment tank 1 and above the top opening of the guide hopper 4; a sealing plate 6, which is hinged to the feed inlet 5 and controlled to open and close by a traction device installed on the treatment tank 1; a connecting pipe 7, which is fixedly installed on the mixing tank 3 and extends outside the treatment tank 1; and a water pump 8, which is fixedly installed on the treatment tank 1 and fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 7, with a drip irrigation pipe 10 fixedly installed at the discharge end of the water pump 8 through a three-way pipe 9. The treatment tank 1 serves as the basic support structure of the entire drip irrigation system, providing installation and housing space for other components. The weight sensor 2 accurately measures the weight of the fertilizer and irrigation water mixture within the mixing tank 3 in real time. Precise weight measurement ensures the accurate determination of the total amount of fertilizer and irrigation water added, guaranteeing proper fertilizer application in the correct proportions and ensuring that medicinal herbs receive the correct amount of fertilizer, thus improving the quality of medicinal herb cultivation. The mixing tank 3 receives and mixes the fertilizer and irrigation water falling from the guide hopper 4. The guide hopper 4 guides the fertilizer to fall accurately into the mixing tank 3, improving the accuracy and efficiency of material application and reducing waste. The inlet 5 provides a clear and convenient channel for fertilizer addition, facilitating material addition by operators. When no material needs to be added, the sealing plate 6 can close the inlet 5 to prevent external impurities from entering the device, ensuring internal cleanliness and preventing impurities from affecting the quality of the fertilizer solution. The connecting pipe 7 serves as the fertilizer solution delivery channel, ensuring smooth flow of the fertilizer solution from the mixing tank 3 to the water pump 8, providing a stable supply of fertilizer solution for subsequent drip irrigation operations. The water pump 8 can extract and pressurize the fertilizer solution in the mixing tank 3 and deliver it to the drip irrigation pipe 10. The three-way pipe 9 connects the discharge end of the water pump 8 and the drip irrigation pipe 10, serving as a diversion and connection. The drip irrigation pipe 10 delivers the fertilizer solution evenly and accurately to the soil around the roots of the medicinal herbs, improving water and fertilizer utilization.
[0019] The traction device includes a mounting frame 11, a take-up shaft 12, a knob 13, a traction rope 14, and a limiting mechanism. The mounting frame 11 is fixedly mounted on the processing box 1. The take-up shaft 12 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 11. The knob 13 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 11 and fixedly connected to the take-up shaft 12. One end of the traction rope 14 is fixedly mounted on the sealing plate 6, and the other end of the traction rope 14 is wound around the take-up shaft 12. The limiting mechanism is provided on the mounting frame 11 to restrict the rotation of the take-up shaft 12. The mounting frame 11 serves as the basic support structure of the entire traction device, providing a stable mounting position for the take-up shaft 12, the knob 13, and the limiting mechanism. By winding and unwinding the traction rope 14, the opening and closing degree of the sealing plate 6 can be precisely controlled to meet the needs of closing or opening the feed inlet 5 under different conditions, making operation flexible and convenient. The knob 13 provides a simple and intuitive operation method, allowing operators to easily control the opening and closing of the sealing plate 6 without complicated operating steps, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. The traction rope 14 reliably transmits power, ensuring that the sealing plate 6 can be opened and closed accurately according to the operator's intention. Its simple structure also makes maintenance convenient. Once the sealing plate 6 reaches the desired opening / closing position, the limiting mechanism prevents the winding shaft 12 from continuing to rotate, thus maintaining the stability of the sealing plate 6 and improving the reliability and safety of the device.
[0020] The limiting mechanism includes a fixing ring 15, a bolt 16, and a positioning block 17. The fixing ring 15 is fixedly mounted on the take-up shaft 12, the bolt 16 is threaded onto the mounting bracket 11, and the positioning block 17 is rotatably mounted on the bolt 16. The positioning block 17 slides in contact with the mounting bracket 11 and contacts the fixing ring 15. The fixing ring 15, by being fixed to the take-up shaft 12, accurately reflects the rotational state of the take-up shaft 12. When the positioning block 17 contacts the fixing ring 15, it effectively prevents the take-up shaft 12 from continuing to rotate, thereby precisely limiting the opening and closing position of the sealing plate 6 and ensuring that the sealing plate 6 remains stable in the required position. The threaded connection of the bolt 16 allows for highly flexible adjustment of the positioning block 17. Driven by the bolt 16, the positioning block 17 can move closer to or further away from the fixing ring 15. When in contact with the fixing ring 15, it restricts the rotation of the fixing ring 15, effectively limiting the take-up shaft 12.
[0021] A fixing plate 18 is fixedly installed on the processing box 1, and a roller 19 is rotatably mounted on the fixing plate 18. The roller 19 is located on one side of the feed inlet 5 and slides in contact with the traction rope 14. The fixing plate 18 provides a stable mounting base for the roller 19, ensuring that the roller 19 will not shift or shake during operation, thus enhancing the structural stability of the entire device. The rolling design of the roller 19 changes the friction between the traction rope 14 and the roller 19 from sliding friction to rolling friction when moving, greatly reducing friction and thus reducing wear on the traction rope 14, extending its service life, and lowering the maintenance cost of the equipment.
[0022] A support frame 20 is fixedly installed on the drip irrigation pipe 10. The bottom of the support frame 20 is flat and designed to contact the soil. Through this contact with the soil, the support frame 20 provides a stable support point for the drip irrigation pipe 10, preventing it from shifting or sinking due to its own weight, water flow impact, or external factors. This ensures that the drip irrigation pipe 10 remains in the predetermined position for drip irrigation. Raising the drip irrigation pipe 10 off the soil surface reduces the risk of it being scratched or worn, extends its service life, and lowers the maintenance and replacement costs of the equipment.
[0023] An inlet pipe 21 is fixedly installed on the treatment tank 1. One end of the inlet pipe 21 extends into the mixing tank 3. A water pipe adapter 22 is fixedly installed on the end of the inlet pipe 21 located outside the treatment tank 1. A guide plate 23 is fixedly installed inside the mixing tank 3, and the guide plate 23 is correspondingly arranged with the inlet pipe 21. The inlet pipe 21 plays an important role in introducing external water sources or fertilizer solutions into the mixing tank 3. It can accurately deliver liquid to the designated mixing area, ensuring that the liquid can smoothly enter the mixing tank 3 for subsequent mixing and treatment, providing a stable water and fertilizer supply for Chinese medicinal materials. It is a key channel for liquid delivery in the integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation system. The water pipe adapter 22 is used to connect external water pipes or other liquid delivery pipelines, playing a transition and adaptation role, enabling stable connection between water pipes of different specifications and types and the inlet pipe 21. The guide plate 23 can prevent liquid from directly impacting a local area of the mixing tank 3, and can play a role in buffering and guiding, reducing the splashing phenomenon caused by high-speed impact of liquid, keeping the working environment inside the mixing tank 3 clean, and also helping to reduce liquid loss.
[0024] A stirring shaft 24 is rotatably mounted inside the mixing tank 3, and a rotary motor 25 is fixedly mounted on the mixing tank 3. The output shaft of the rotary motor 25 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 24. The rotation of the stirring shaft 24 allows water and fertilizer to flow and interact fully within the mixing tank 3, breaking up the stratification or aggregation between water and fertilizer, and evenly dispersing the fertilizer in the water to form a water-fertilizer solution of uniform concentration. This ensures that all parts of the medicinal herbs absorb nutrients evenly, which is beneficial to the balanced growth of the medicinal herbs. The rotary motor 25 converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, driving the stirring shaft 24 to rotate at a set speed and direction via its output shaft. This automates the water-fertilizer mixing process, reduces labor intensity, and improves work efficiency.
[0025] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.
[0026] The working principle of the integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation device for Chinese medicinal herbs provided by this utility model is as follows: In use, turn knob 13, which drives the take-up shaft 12 to rotate, causing the take-up shaft 12 to loosen the traction rope 14. Since one end of the traction rope 14 is fixed to the sealing plate 6, as the traction rope 14 loosens, the sealing plate 6 will rotate around the hinge point, thereby opening the feed port 5. When the sealing plate 6 is opened to the appropriate angle, stop turning knob 13 and then adjust the limiting mechanism. By rotating bolt 16, the positioning block 17 is brought closer to the fixing ring 15 on the take-up shaft 12 under the action of bolt 16, until the positioning block 17 is in close contact with the fixing ring 15, thereby limiting the take-up shaft 12 from continuing to rotate and keeping the sealing plate 6 in the open state.
[0027] At this time, the operator puts the fertilizer into the guide hopper 4 through the feed inlet 5, and then guides it accurately into the mixing box 3 through the guide hopper 4. The weight sensor 2 measures the amount of fertilizer. After an appropriate amount of fertilizer is put in, the positioning block 17 is separated from the fixing ring 15, and the knob 13 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the traction rope 14 drive the sealing plate 6 to close the feed inlet 5.
[0028] Connect the external water pipe to the inlet pipe 21 via the water pipe adapter 22, and open the external water source valve. The water source enters the mixing tank 3 through the inlet pipe 21. When the liquid enters the mixing tank 3, the guide plate 23 corresponding to the inlet pipe 21 is installed inside the mixing tank 3. The guide plate 23 will buffer and guide the liquid, so that the liquid is evenly distributed in the mixing tank 3.
[0029] Once the fertilizer and liquid have entered the mixing tank 3, the rotary motor 25 is activated. The output shaft of the rotary motor 25 drives the stirring shaft 24 to rotate, and the stirring blades on the stirring shaft 24 agitate the water and fertilizer in the mixing tank 3. During the agitation process, the water and fertilizer flow and interact fully, and the fertilizer gradually dissolves in the water, eventually forming a uniformly concentrated fertilizer-water solution. The weight sensor 2 measures the weight of the fertilizer and irrigation water mixture in the mixing tank 3 in real time, allowing the operator to accurately determine the total amount of fertilizer and irrigation water added based on the data fed back by the weight sensor 2.
[0030] After the water and fertilizer solution are mixed evenly, start the water pump 8. The water pump 8 draws out and pressurizes the fertilizer solution from the mixing tank 3. The fertilizer solution enters the water pump 8 through the connecting pipe 7, and then flows into the three-way pipe 9 through the discharge end of the water pump 8. The three-way pipe 9 distributes the fertilizer solution to the drip irrigation pipe 10. A support frame 20 is fixedly installed on the drip irrigation pipe 10. The bottom flat structure of the support frame 20 is in contact with the soil, providing stable support for the drip irrigation pipe 10.
[0031] Compared with related technologies, the integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation device for Chinese medicinal herbs provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model provides a drip irrigation device integrating water and fertilizer for Chinese medicinal herbs. It uses a weight sensor to accurately measure fertilizer and irrigation water, and a stirring shaft to fully mix water and fertilizer, ensuring that Chinese medicinal herbs absorb nutrients evenly and improving planting quality.
[0032] The traction device flexibly controls the opening and closing of the feed inlet sealing plate, and the knob operation is simple; the limit mechanism stabilizes the sealing plate, reducing frequent adjustments and improving work efficiency. The roller design reduces wear on the traction rope.
[0033] The support frame ensures the stability of the drip irrigation pipe, reducing the risk of displacement, sinking, and tearing, and extending the service life of the equipment. The guide plate optimizes liquid introduction, reducing splashing and waste; the inlet pipe and adapter are highly compatible, improving the versatility and adaptability of the device.
