The rice planting area in my country accounts for 1 / 4 of the country's food crops, while the output accounts for more than half. With the development of my country's social economy, agricultural structural adjustment, rural labor transfer and population aging, the traditional rice cultivation technology based on manual labor can no longer meet the current needs of rice production in my country. The simplification and mechanized planting of rice have become the key to improving labor productivity and solving the labor shortage. In recent years, with the development of social economy, the comparative benefits of grain production have been declining, a large number of laborers have been transferred to other industries, and large-scale land management has become a trend. Direct seeding of rice is a rice farming method that directly sows rice seeds into the field, eliminating the procedures of raising seedlings, pulling seedlings and planting seedlings. The advantages of saving labor and cost are particularly significant, which caters to the needs of current rice production and has developed rapidly. Traditional manual sowing has a series of difficult-to-solve technical problems such as uneven emergence, disordered seedlings, shallow roots and easy lodging, low yield potential and poor stability, so mechanized direct seeding technology has become an inevitable trend.

[0003] The existing technology of direct seeding rice by drones adopts a star-shaped spreading structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the UAV rice seeding device of the present invention includes a body, a seeding device 6, and an angle maintaining device 22.

[0040] The UAV body includes a frame 1, a flight control module 3, a flying seeding airborne control module 4, a power module 5, an ultrasonic sensor 28, and a second pressure sensor 29.

The ultrasonic sensor 28 is installed below the frame 1 board to detect the distance between the frame 1 and the ground, and is connected to the flight control module 3; specifically, the number of the ultrasonic sensors 28 is four, which are respectively installed in the front, back, left and right directions below the frame 1 board, for detecting the distance between the fuselage and the ground, and transmitting the signal to the flight control module 3, and the flight control module 3 adjusts the rotor flight state according to the distance between the fuselage and the ground. The flying seeding airborne control module 4 controls the seeding device 6 to adjust the seeding operation by obtaining the flight status of the UAV, and the power module 5 is responsible for providing power to the UAV rice flying seeding device.

[0041] Auxiliary wheels 2 are installed under the frame 1. A second pressure sensor 29 is installed at the connection between each auxiliary wheel 2 and the frame 1 to detect the pressure between the ground and the frame on the auxiliary wheel 2; the pressure sensor 29 is connected to the flight control module 3. The flight control module 3 can adjust different power supply schemes according to different land conditions in the working environment:

[0043] When the working environment is slippery clay soil, when the flight control module 3 detects that the auxiliary wheel 2 touches the ground according to the signals of the second pressure sensor 29 and the ultrasonic sensor 28, the UAV rotor power is not reduced, the auxiliary wheel 2 is lifted off the ground, and the UAV moves in flight mode.

[0044] The auxiliary wheel 2 and the frame 1 are both made of light composite materials, and the connection between the auxiliary wheel 2 and the frame is a detachable structure.

[0045] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the seeding device 6 includes a cylindrical housing 7, a reduction motor 8, a first gear shaft 10 of a coupling 9, a second gear shaft 11, a lower cover plate 12, an upper cover plate 13, a seed leakage plate 14, a seed box 15, a controller 16, a rolling bearing 17, a seed outlet tube 18, and a bristle brush 19.

The reduction motor 8 is fixed at the lower part of the cylindrical housing 7 through a motor connector and is connected to a controller 16. The controller 16 is connected to the aerial seeding airborne control module 4, and the speed of the reduction motor 8 is controlled by the controller.

[0046] The selected reduction motor 8 is a 12V DC reduction motor of model 775, with a speed of 10 to 600 / min and a torque of 10 to 60 kg. The seed leakage tray 14 is driven by the power output of the reduction motor 8 through the primary gear transmission device. The seed leakage holes on the seed leakage tray 14 that can hold the rice seeds required for a single rice sowing are connected to the seed box 15 through the seed inlet on the upper cover 13 in turn to obtain seeds; the seeds are connected to the seed outlet pipe 18 through the seed outlet on the lower cover 12 to output the seeds for sowing. During the rotation of the seed leakage tray 14, in order to prevent the seeds from entering the gap between the seed leakage tray 14 and the upper cover 13 and the lower cover 12, a circle of hard brushes 19 that fit closely with the lower cover 12 are provided around each seed leakage hole on the lower surface of the seed leakage tray 14, which can prevent the rice seeds from leaking out of the gap between the seed leakage holes of the seed leakage tray 14 and the lower seed leakage tray 8. The seed inlet on the upper cover plate 13 is provided with a circle of hard brushes 19 that can fit tightly with the upper surface of the seed leakage plate 14, which can prevent excessive rice seeds in the seed leakage hole from overflowing from the gap between the seed leakage plate 14 and the upper cover plate 13. A first pressure sensor is installed in the seed box 15, and the first pressure sensor is connected to the aerial seeding machine control module 4. The pressure sensor reflects the seed retention status in the seed box 15 to ensure that the rice seeds can slide naturally and continuously therein.

When the UAV performs steering operations, the rotating shaft 27 can be rotated and the second housing 24 can be rotated to keep the seed outlet on the seeding device vertical to the ground. Under the action of the angle holding device, the seeding device can keep the angle with the ground unchanged or change within a very small angle under the UAV. The multiple seeding devices 6 are installed on the frame 1 with adjustable spacing, which is convenient for adjustment as needed.

A rotating fan blade 21 is installed at the large end of the air inlet pipe 20, and the rotating fan blade 21 is powered by the power module 5. The fan blade rotates unidirectionally to suck the air outside the air inlet pipe into the pipe, and the external air flows in through the large end and blows out from the small end. The tapered shape with one end large and the other end small can accelerate the airflow entering from the large end, and the accelerated airflow blows into the seed outlet pipe from the small end to accelerate the seeds therein, shorten the falling time of the rice seeds, and reduce the sowing position error.

[0049] Preferably, the air inlet of the air inlet duct 20 is arranged below the UAV rotor, and its position is where the swirl intensity below the UAV is suitable, so that the swirl below the rotor can be continuously collected.

[0050] The working process of the UAV rice seeding device of the present invention is as follows:

[0051] When working, the reduction motor starts, and the power is transmitted to the first gear shaft through the coupling, and then to the second gear shaft through the first-stage gear. The power drives the seed leakage disk installed on the second gear shaft to rotate. The rice seeds in the seed box are filled with the seed leakage holes on the seed leakage disk as the seed leakage disk rotates. The rice seeds in the seed leakage holes of the seed leakage disk rotate and enter the seed outlet tube through the circular holes on the lower cover plate. At the same time, the air supply device is started when the UAV takes off and starts working. The rotating fan blades in the air supply tube rotate unidirectionally to introduce part of the external airflow into the air inlet tube. The airflow is accelerated through the tapered air inlet tube and blown into the seed outlet tube to accelerate the seeds in the seed outlet tube, shorten the falling time of the rice seeds, and reduce the sowing position error.
