Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery performance testing technology, specifically to a single-disc type seeder performance testing bench for laboratory use. Background Technology
[0002] In actual operation, single-disc seeders are easily affected by soil conditions, leading to inconsistent sowing depths and affecting sowing quality. Among existing seed metering test benches, the conveyor belt test bench is the most mature, but this type of test bench has disadvantages such as high equipment cost and large size, and is not suitable for testing single-disc seeders. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing single-disc seeder test devices, such as insufficient adaptability and inconvenient adjustment, by providing a compact and flexible single-disc seeder performance testing platform. The platform includes a mechanical frame, a negative pressure fan, a contour adjustment device, a single-disc seeder, and a positive pressure pump. The mechanical frame utilizes a lightweight aluminum profile frame structure with a longitudinal axis along the test platform's forward direction. The front end of the frame features a traction hook and a front platform, the middle section has a central crossbeam, and the rear end has a rear platform. Eight directional wheels are symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal axis at the bottom for easy movement. The negative pressure fan is fixed to the front platform of the mechanical frame, providing adjustable seed-taking negative pressure for the seeder. The contour adjustment device consists of a telescopic rod, a spring, and a threaded buckle. The upper end of the telescopic rod is bolted to the central crossbeam of the mechanical frame, and the lower end connects to the single-disc seeder. The telescopic rod employs a two-stage nested structure; the inner wall of the outer rod has a guide groove, and the outer wall of the inner rod has corresponding guide protrusions, allowing the inner rod to perform linear telescopic movement relative to the outer rod. The lower section of the telescopic rod has an external thread that engages with the internal thread of the threaded clip. Precise axial length adjustment is achieved by rotating the threaded clip. Combined with a buffer spring, it adapts to different soil conditions and maintains a stable sowing depth. The outer edge of the threaded clip has anti-slip grooves, and its top has an annular limiting baffle to limit the maximum compression stroke of the spring. This device combines depth adjustment and shock absorption, effectively improving sowing accuracy. The single-disc type seeder is suspended in the middle of the machine frame via a contour adjustment device and connected to the positive pressure air pump pipeline. The positive pressure air pump is located on the rear platform of the machine frame. Both the negative pressure fan and the positive pressure air pump are equipped with air pressure regulating valves, allowing independent control of the negative and positive airflow pressures, thus providing adjustable airflow pressure for seed cleaning and sowing.
[0004] This invention employs a combination of negative and positive pressure systems to adjust air pressure parameters during seed collection, cleaning, and placement. It features modular design, contour depth adjustment, buffering and shock absorption, independent dual air pressure control, and a lightweight and compact structure. It can simulate various soil conditions and provide an experimental platform for testing and optimizing the performance of the seed planter. Attached Figure Description

[0008] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0009] A central crossbeam is provided in the middle, and a rear platform is provided at the rear end of the mechanical frame (1). Eight directional wheels are symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal axis at the bottom to achieve movement and positioning. The negative pressure fan (2) is fixed to the front platform of the mechanical frame (1) and connected to the single disc seeder (4) through a flexible pipeline to provide adjustable seed negative pressure; the positive pressure air pump (5) is fixed to the rear platform of the mechanical frame (1) and delivers positive pressure airflow to the seeding area to assist the seeds in detaching and accurately placing them into the seed holes. During operation, the traction device drives the test platform forward, and the speed is controlled by the speed adjustment device to simulate different working conditions. The contour adjustment device (3) consists of a telescopic rod (6), a spring (7) and a threaded buckle (8). The upper end of the telescopic rod (6) is fixed to the central crossbeam of the mechanical frame (1) by bolts, and the lower end is connected to the single disc seeder (4). The telescopic rod (6) is a two-level nested structure. The inner wall of the outer rod is provided with a guide groove, and the outer wall of the inner rod is provided with a corresponding guide protrusion, so that the inner rod can make linear telescopic movements relative to the outer rod. A spring (7) is fitted onto the outside of the telescopic rod (6) to provide continuous downward pressure and cushion vibrations caused by ground undulations. The lower section of the telescopic rod (6) is provided with an external thread, and the threaded buckle (8) is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external thread. The two form a threaded engagement, and the extension length of the telescopic rod (6) can be precisely adjusted by rotating the threaded buckle (8), thereby controlling the soil penetration depth of the single disc seeder (4). The outer edge of the threaded buckle (8) is provided with anti-slip texture, and its top is provided with an annular limiting baffle to limit the maximum compression stroke of the spring (7). The single disc seeder (4) achieves self-rotation through ground friction, and its rotation speed is synchronized with its forward speed. Both the negative pressure fan (2) and the positive pressure air pump (5) are equipped with digital pressure gauges and air pressure regulating valves, which can independently control the air pressure of the negative and positive pressures respectively.
