[0017] In order to make the purpose and technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] This embodiment provides a seed unit 4, which includes a seed 41 and a waterless shell 42 encapsulating the seed 41, and the waterless shell 42 is made of fertilizer that is easily soluble in water.

[0019] The seed unit 4 includes a seed 41 and a waterless shell 42 that encapsulates the seed 41. The waterless shell 42 is made of fertilizer that is easily soluble in water. Since many vegetable seeds are small in size and have low mass and irregular shapes, quantitative and automatic sowing are relatively difficult to achieve. The exposed and stored seeds are relatively more affected by environmental factors and are prone to direct necrosis or automatic germination and necrosis.

[0020] The seed unit of the present invention can not only ensure that the number of seeds contained in each seed unit is consistent, but also the waterless shell 42 can well protect the seeds from the external environment. After the seed unit 4 is sown, since the waterless shell 42 is made of fertilizer that is easily soluble in water, it not only dissolves quickly into the water so that the seeds 41 germinate quickly, but also provides nutrition for the growth process of the seeds 41. At the same time, the seed unit 4 with the waterless shell 42 is preferably spherical in shape, which can match the shape of the subsequent trough body 31, thereby ensuring that only one seed unit 4 is entered each time sowing, which is convenient for the implementation of automatic sowing.

[0021] This embodiment provides an automatic quantitative seeding method comprising:

[0022] S1, storing a plurality of seed units 4 in a first space 11;

[0023] S2, connecting the slot of the slot body 31 whose volume is adapted to a single seed unit 4 to the first space 11, so that only one seed unit 4 falls into the slot body 31 by its own weight;

[0024] S3. Adjust so that the notch faces downward, and the single seed unit 4 sows by itself.

[0025] The present embodiment provides an automatic sowing device for automatically sowing seed units 4. The seed units 4 are composed of seeds 41 and a waterless shell 42 covering the seeds 41. The waterless shell 42 is made of fertilizer that is easily soluble in water. Since many vegetable seeds are small in size and have small mass and irregular shapes, quantitative and automatic sowing is relatively difficult to achieve. In addition, the exposed and stored seeds are relatively more affected by environmental factors and are prone to direct necrosis or automatic germination and necrosis. The method of the present invention can not only ensure that the number of seeds contained in each seed unit is consistent, but also the waterless shell 42 can well protect the seeds from the influence of the external environment. After the seed units 4 are sown, since the waterless shell 42 is made of fertilizer that is easily soluble in water, it not only dissolves quickly into water to make the seeds 41 germinate quickly, but also provides nutrition for the growth process of the seeds 41. At the same time, the seed unit 4 with the waterless shell 42 is preferably spherical in shape, which can match the shape of the subsequent trough body 31, thereby ensuring that only one seed unit 4 is entered each time sowing, which is convenient for the implementation of automatic sowing.

[0026] The automatic quantitative sowing method specifically includes: a body 1, a steering gear 2, and a turntable 3. The body 1 is provided with a first space 11 for storing a seed unit 4 and a first channel 12 connected to the first space 11. The seed unit 4 in the first space 11 can enter the first channel 12 by its own weight. The body 1 is also provided with a second channel 13. The seed unit 4 in the second channel 13 can fall out by its own weight. The turntable 3 is provided with at least one groove body 31 adapted to the shape of the seed unit 4. The steering gear 2 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, so that the groove body 31 can switch between docking with the first channel 12 and docking with the second channel 13. When the groove body 31 is docked with the first channel 12, the seed unit 4 in the first channel 12 can fall into the groove body 31 by its own weight. When the groove body 31 is docked with the second channel 13, the seed unit 4 in the groove body 31 can fall into the second channel 13 by its own weight.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic sowing equipment also includes a detection control device 5. When it is detected that the height of vegetables in the area has not reached a predetermined height within a certain period of time, it means that the vegetables in the area have been picked or the previous sowing has failed or withered. At this time, automatic sowing is required, and the servo 2 is controlled to operate so that the slot of the slot body 31 on the turntable 3 is changed from docking with the first channel 12 to docking with the second channel 13.

[0028] The detection and control device 5 specifically includes: a first supporting part 51, a second supporting part 52, an active infrared intrusion detection module 53, and a control module 54. The active infrared intrusion detection module 53 can exchange signals with the control module 54. The transmitting end 531 of the active infrared intrusion detection module 53 is installed on the first supporting part 51, and the receiving end 532 of the active infrared intrusion detection module 53 is correspondingly installed on the second supporting part 52.

[0029] When the control module 54 does not receive the alarm signal of the active infrared intrusion detection module 53 within a certain time range, the control module 54 controls the servo 2 to operate, so that the slot of the slot body 31 on the turntable 3 is changed from docking with the first channel 12 to docking with the second channel 13. When the infrared rays emitted by the transmitting end 531 can always be received by the receiving end 532, the vegetables in the area have never been able to grow to a height that blocks the infrared rays emitted by the transmitting end 531, which means that the vegetables have never been able to grow to a height that exceeds the infrared rays emitted by the transmitting end 531, indicating that the vegetables in the area have been picked or the previous sowing has failed or withered. At this time, automatic sowing is required.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
