Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to an automated integrated precision seeding device suitable for large-scale, high-precision seeding operations of various crops such as grains, vegetables, and cash crops. Background Art

[0002] As agricultural modernization accelerates, seeding, a critical link in agricultural production, has become increasingly important, with its efficiency and precision directly impacting crop yield and quality. Traditional manual seeding, characterized by high labor intensity and low efficiency, is no longer sufficient for large-scale agricultural production. Mechanized seeding has become mainstream, but demands for automation, integration, and precision are increasing.

[0003] Currently, seeding devices on the market are mainly divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic seeders. Semi-automatic seeders require manual assistance for seed placement and parameter adjustment, and their degree of automation is limited. While fully automatic seeders can achieve continuous operation, they often suffer from scattered functions (e.g., furrowing, seed placement, and soil covering require independent equipment), insufficient seeding accuracy (large errors in plant / row spacing, high rates of missed and reseeded seeds), and poor adaptability (difficulty adapting to different crop seed sizes and soil conditions).

[0004] Low automation integration: There is a lack of unified control over ditching, seeding, soil covering, and compaction, requiring manual coordination and resulting in poor operational continuity.

[0005] Insufficient precision: The seeding rate control accuracy is low and easily affected by seed mobility. The plant spacing adjustment relies on mechanical transmission, resulting in large errors.

[0006] Limited adaptability: poor compatibility with seeds of different particle sizes (such as wheat and corn), cumbersome sowing depth adjustment, and inability to quickly adapt to complex terrain. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The frame assembly serves as a bearing base, and a travel wheel is provided at the bottom;

[0009] The seed supply system includes a seed box, a vibrating feeder and a seed screening module, and the seed box is connected to the precision seeding system through a pipeline;

[0010] The precision seed metering system includes an electromagnetic vibrating seed meter, a seed counting sensor and an adjustable flow guide tube, and the electromagnetic vibrating seed meter is connected to the automatic control system through a signal line;

[0011] The trenching-covering linkage system includes a hydraulically driven trench opener, a depth sensor and a covering wheel, wherein the trench opener and the covering wheel are connected via a synchronous transmission mechanism;

[0012] The automated control system includes a PLC controller, a touch screen human-machine interface, and several sensors (displacement sensor, speed sensor, seed flow sensor). The controller is electrically connected to the vibrating feeder, electromagnetic vibrating seed metering device, hydraulic drive device, and power transmission system.

[0013] The power transmission system includes a drive motor and a gearbox, which provide power to the travel wheels, furrow openers, and covering wheels, and provide real-time feedback of the travel speed through an encoder.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] High degree of automation integration: Integrates functions such as ditching, seeding, and soil covering, and realizes full process automatic control through PLC, reducing manual intervention and improving operating efficiency by more than 30%;

[0016] Excellent sowing accuracy: adopting electromagnetic vibration seeding and sensor closed-loop control, single seed rate ≥95%, plant spacing / row spacing error ≤±5mm, missed seeding rate ≤1%;

[0017] Strong adaptability: Through modular design, adjustable parameters and crop database, it can adapt to different seed types, terrains and planting patterns;

[0018] High degree of intelligence: Combined with GPS, remote warning and automatic path planning, it can realize unmanned operation and reduce labor intensity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
