Abstract: The integration of fertilizer and water technology is one of the important means to improve the effective utilization rate of chemical fertilizers. The solenoid valve control mode based on pulse width modulation is the main technical means to adjust the amount of suction flow. But at present, the researches of scholars at home and abroad mainly focus on these 3 aspects: Water-fertilizer coupling effect test, venturi structure optimization and performance analysis, water and fertilizer machine pipeline design. And the venturi suction characteristics in the solenoid valves switch on and off mode was little concerned. In this paper, on the 5-channel pipeline online mixed water and fertilizer integration test platform, the hall flow sensor was used to test the instantaneous flow of single channel in the valve opening time of 0.3, 0.5, 1 and 2 s. The average flow of single switch under different valve opening and closing time. The average flow under 10 consecutive switches was calculated by pulse correction method. All the pulses and the time elapsed for each pulse were collected and recorded, and the flow rate was calculated according to the pulse total number, effective pulse number and the pulse correction respectively. The actual flow was measured by the electronic scale and compare with the calculated values of the 3 methods respectively. The results showed the relative error of the flow rate calculated by the total pulse number method was much larger than the effective pulse method and the pulse correction method, but the relative error decreases with the increase of the valve opening time. Compared with the total pulse number method, the measurement accuracy of the effective pulse method was greatly improved. The accuracy of the pulse correction method was the highest, the relative error was less than 4% during the valve opening duration of 0.3-2 s, and the pulse correction method was more advantageous when the valve opening duration was shorter. The suction characteristics test results showed that in the continuous switch mode of the solenoid valve, the shorter the valve closing time, the smaller the total number of pulses and the average flow rate. The average flow rate of each valve decreased rapidly with the valve opening time increasing. when the valve opening time was longer than 5 s, the average flow rate of fertilizer absorption tended to be stable at 10 L/min. In the combined structure of venturi and fertilization pump, the greater the fertilization pressure, the smaller the suction flow, but no significant effect on the energy storage and discharge process of the venturi injector. During the maximum energy storage and discharge time, the amount of suction flow by the venturi injector decreased with the prolonging of the valve opening time, and increased with the prolonging of the valve closing time. The test results of the venturi injector under the single switch showed that the maximum energy storage time (vacuum) of the venturi injector was 10 s, and the maximum energy release time (the time when the suction flow was stable) was 1 s. This research can provide technical support for the design and application of intelligent variable water and fertilizer machine.
