Tools and mechanisms for agriculture

Directory / Tools and mechanisms for agriculture

Youths and amateur flower growers, this set is for you! If earlier you carried a whole bunch of various tools with you to the greenhouse, now all of them, unified and connected in a package, will fit in one hand. Each of the tools can be isolated from the fan package and used independently of the others. What is included in it?

These are mini-rakes, which are good for loosening the ground when planting flowers and removing large weed particles from it. On the inner surface of the tool there is a lock ledge - the ends of the rest of the tools go under it when the set is folded.

There is also a shovel for digging up the earth in boxes, pots, in beds. She comes under the castle ledge of the rake and "closes" soldering.

Between them are a sickle, a knife and tweezers. A sickle, or rather a spatula with a sickle-shaped cut, is designed for weeding and thinning plants, cutting off excess roots and shoots.

The sickle is followed by a knife with a blunt end and a blade of reverse curvature, which holds cut branches or shoots well on the tip. The knife is also useful for transplanting flowers.

Next, tweezers. In a set, it may seem superfluous, but this tool is indispensable when freeing plants from pests, diseased and dry leaves, as well as during selection work.

All items are located on the axis fixed in the awl. They make recesses when planting flowers, cleaning roots and stems, sowing seeds.

Any of the listed grower's assistants is brought into working position, moving it out of the fan to the side until the protrusion of the tool reaches the stop on the awl.

All items in the set, except for the awl, have a unified ending. The technology of its manufacture is as follows. The contours of the tools are applied to the stainless steel strips, blanks are cut with a chisel with an allowance of 1-2 mm and holes are drilled in them for the rivet axle.

The blanks are fastened into a bag with a bolt passed through the holes, clamped in a vice and cut off the allowance until marked with a file. Working parts are finalized individually. Burrs are smoothed out with fine sandpaper.

At the sickle and knife, only the cutting edges are sharpened, while the rest of the workpieces are also bent according to the drawing. It is more difficult to make rakes and tweezers: for rakes, a lock ledge is formed with a claw punch, and the halves of the tweezers - flat and bent - are joined together by riveting or spot welding.

When all the tools are ready, they are collected in a bag. A tube is used as a rivet axis and it is flared on both sides with a ball or center punch. Then they check how the fan works: whether the tools go well under the lock ledge, whether they turn too tight on the axis, whether they cling to each other.

You can pass the cord through the rivet axle and wear the set on your wrist so that it is always at hand when working.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

China is the largest producer of solar energy 12.04.2017

Of the top 77,42 photovoltaic panel manufacturers in the world, two are in the US, one is in Canada, and the rest are in China. In the top five, there are four Chinese and one Canadian (Canadian Solar) companies, and even that was founded by a Canadian researcher of Chinese origin, Shawn Qu. Not surprisingly, China doubled the number of installed solar energy sources last year and came out on top in the world with a total of XNUMX GW.

Despite the impressive numbers, solar energy still accounts for only one percent of China's total electricity generation. However, the situation may soon change. According to the National Energy Administration of China, the country intends to add another 110 GW of solar power in the next three years, and to increase the proportion of renewable energy in total production to 2030% by 20 (currently 11%). This will be facilitated by the clean energy investment program announced at the beginning of the year by the National Energy Administration, according to which the country will invest about $364 billion in alternative energy (renewable energy sources), which will create 13 million jobs.

The Chinese example may have a positive impact on other countries. For example, the Irish Parliament at the end of January voted for a bill prohibiting the State Strategic Investment Fund of Ireland from investing in enterprises and companies in the oil, gas and coal industries. And on May 15 last year in Germany, renewable energy produced almost all the energy needed, which amounted to 45,5 GW of the 45,8 GW consumed that day. Prices for electricity during this day fell to negative values and reached minus 50 euros per megawatt.
