Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of seeder technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable soil compaction roller. Background Technology

[0002] In modern agricultural production, seeders are essential tools for improving sowing efficiency and ensuring uniform crop growth. During the sowing process, the degree of soil compaction plays a crucial role in seed germination and growth. Traditional seeders typically use fixed compaction rollers, relying on their own weight to compact the soil. However, this fixed design has several significant drawbacks: due to the large differences in soil hardness and moisture across different regions and types, fixed compaction rollers cannot be adjusted according to specific conditions, resulting in unsatisfactory compaction. For example, on harder soils, a fixed compaction pressure may be insufficient for effective compaction; while on softer soils, excessive compaction pressure may lead to over-compaction, affecting seed growth. Adjusting the compaction pressure of traditional compaction rollers requires changing counterweights of different weights or adjusting the mechanical structure, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also requires professional operation, increasing labor intensity and operational difficulty. To address these problems, this invention provides an adjustable-pressure soil compaction roller. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a soil compaction roller with adjustable compaction pressure. The roller has an elastic tension adjustment mechanism between the connecting plate and the compaction roller support by combining a bolt with a handle, a sliding sleeve and a tension spring. The compaction pressure of the compaction roller can be adjusted by rotating the bolt with the handle.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model relates to an adjustable soil compaction roller, comprising a connecting plate and a compaction roller bracket; the connecting plate and one end of the compaction roller bracket are rotatably connected by a pin; two compaction rollers are symmetrically installed at the other end of the compaction roller bracket; the connecting plate is a right-angled plate structure; the horizontal part of the connecting plate has two first through holes for installation and fixing; a second through hole that mates with the pin is opened at the corner of the connecting plate; a rectangular guide groove extending to the lower end is opened on one side of the downward vertical rod of the connecting plate; a sliding sleeve is slidably installed on the downward vertical rod of the connecting plate; a bolt with a handle is threaded through the sliding sleeve; at least one tension spring is installed between the sliding sleeve and the compaction roller bracket.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a soil compaction roller with adjustable compaction pressure, including a connecting plate 1 and a compaction roller bracket 2. The connecting plate 1 and one end of the compaction roller bracket 2 are rotatably connected by a pin 3. Two compaction rollers 4 are symmetrically installed at the other end of the compaction roller bracket 2.

[0026] The connecting plate 1 is a right-angled plate structure. Two first through holes 11 are provided on the horizontal section of the connecting plate 1 for mounting and fixing. A second through hole 12 is provided at the corner of the connecting plate 1 to mate with the pin 3. The connecting plate 1 is mounted on the seeder using two bolts passing through the two first through holes 11.

[0027] A rectangular guide groove 13 extending to the lower end of the vertical rod portion of the connecting plate 1 is provided on one side. A sliding sleeve 5 is slidably mounted on the vertical rod portion of the connecting plate 1. A bolt with a handle 6 is threaded through the sliding sleeve 5. At least one tension spring 7 is installed between the sliding sleeve 5 and the press roller bracket 2. The sliding sleeve 5 includes a sleeve 51 that slides against the outer wall of the vertical rod portion of the connecting plate 1. A guide block 52 that slides against the rectangular guide groove 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 51. A threaded through hole 53 is provided on the guide block 52 that is threaded to the bolt with a handle 6, and the end of the bolt with a handle 6 abuts against the inner top surface of the rectangular guide groove 13 after passing through the threaded through hole 53. A first single lug 54 that engages with the tension spring 7 is fixed to the outer wall of the sleeve 51. The combination of the shank bolt 6, the sliding sleeve 5, and the tension spring 7 constitutes the elastic tension adjustment mechanism between the connecting plate 1 and the press roller bracket 2. When adjusting the downward deflection pressure of the press roller bracket 2, it is only necessary to rotate the shank bolt 6 to drive the sliding sleeve 5 to move up and down, and adjust the tension spring 7 to stretch or retract. The adjustment process is quick, convenient, and flexible.

[0028] To prevent the sliding sleeve 5 from detaching from the connecting plate 1 and becoming ineffective when the tension spring 7 slides downwards under gravity due to the shank bolt 6 and the sliding sleeve 5, a third through hole 14 with a rectangular guide groove 13 is provided at the lower end of the downward-facing vertical rod of the connecting plate 1. A limit rod 8 is inserted and fixed into the third through hole 14, and the connecting plate 1 limits the sliding sleeve 5, effectively preventing the elastic tension adjustment mechanism from failing.

[0029] To reduce interference between multiple tension springs 7 when mounted on the press roller bracket 2, the press roller bracket 2 is L-shaped. Double lugs 21 are provided at the connection end between the press roller bracket 2 and the connecting plate 1. Two rows of second lugs 22, which are attached to the tension springs 7, are fixed to the lower surface of the press roller bracket 2 near the connecting plate 1. The use of two rows of second lugs 22 for mounting the tension springs 7 facilitates staggered mounting and installation, preventing interference between them.

[0030] To reduce the impact of vibration on the stability of the threaded connection between the shank bolt 6 and the sliding sleeve 5, two nuts are threaded onto the shank bolt 6, positioned above and below the guide block 52 respectively. When adjusting the shank bolt 6, first loosen the two nuts, then rotate the shank bolt 6 to drive the sliding sleeve 5 into position, and then move the two nuts back towards the sliding sleeve 5 to stabilize the relative position of the shank bolt 6 and the sliding sleeve 5, thus ensuring the stability of the pressing pressure of the press roller.
