[0011] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. A precise automatic control mechanism for sowing length comprises a single frame assembly 15, wherein the single frame assembly 15 is mounted on the rear side of a parallel four-bar frame 1, a seeding device 3 is mounted on the upper side of the single frame assembly 15, a seed furrow opener 7, a seed guide tube 6, a soil cover 9 and a pressure suppressor 8 are mounted on the lower side of the single frame assembly 15 in sequence from front to back, a power transmission shaft 18 is rotatably mounted coaxially with a seeding drive shaft 3-1 of the seeding device 3 on the upper side of the single frame assembly 15, a follower pulley 17 and a one-way ratchet 19 are respectively fixed on both ends of the power transmission shaft 18, a seeding power transmission disc 5 is fixed on the end of the seeding drive shaft 3-1 on the side opposite to the power transmission shaft 18, a ratchet column 21 is fixed on the seeding power transmission disc 5, a ratchet 20 is rotatably mounted on the ratchet column 21, and the ratchet column 21 is located between the seeding power transmission disc 5 and the one-way ratchet 19 A torsion spring 4 is set on the position, and the two ends of the torsion spring 4 are respectively positioned and matched with the seeding power transmission disk 5 and the pawl 20, and the pawl 20 is in contact and locked cooperation with the one-way ratchet 19. The bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 2 is installed on the single frame assembly 15, and the cylinder rod 2-1 of the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 2 is in contact or out of contact with the pawl 20. The anti-skid seeding drive wheel 10 is rotatably installed on the middle lower side of the single frame assembly 15, the active pulley 11 is fixed on the anti-skid seeding drive wheel 10, and the transmission belt 16 is set on the active pulley 11 and the driven pulley 17. A counting detection column 12 is installed on the outer end face of the anti-skid seeding drive wheel 10, and a counting sensor 13 is equipped on the upper rear side of the single frame assembly 15. The counting sensor 13 cooperates with the counting detection column 12, and the wire connects the automatic controller 14 with the counting sensor 13 and the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 2 respectively.

[0012] When in operation, the mechanism is installed on the seeding machine using the parallelogram frame 1, and the anti-skid seeding drive wheel 10 is in close contact with the soil surface, supporting the entire mechanism on the soil surface. After turning on the automatic controller 14 and inputting the sowing length value into the automatic controller 14, the seeding machine drives the mechanism to move forward. Under the action of soil resistance, the counting detection column 12 rotates with the anti-skid seeding drive wheel 10, and the counting sensor 13 transmits the electrical signal of the number of rotations of the counting detection column 2 to the automatic controller 14 for calculation and processing to determine the sowing length. At the same time, the rotational movement of the anti-skid seeding drive wheel 10 is driven in sequence by the main driving pulley 11, the transmission belt 16, the follower pulley 17, the power transmission shaft 18, the one-way ratchet 19, the pawl 20, the pawl column 21, and the seeding power transmission disk 5. The seeding drive shaft 3-1 of the seeding device 3 rotates, and the seeds discharged by the seeding device 3 are sown through the seed guide tube 6 into the seed furrow opened by the seed furrow opener 7. Then, the soil covering device 9 and the pressure device 8 respectively complete the seed furrow covering and seed furrow pressure operations. When the sowing length reaches the preset value, the electrical signal of the automatic controller 14 immediately starts the two-way hydraulic cylinder 2, so that its cylinder rod 2-1 extends, and pushes the pawl 20 to rotate around the pawl column 21 on the seeding power transmission disk 5, so that the pawl 20 is disengaged from the locking fit with the one-way ratchet 19, and the power transmission between the one-way ratchet 19 and the seeding power transmission disk 5 is cut off, and the sowing operation is stopped. The cylinder rod 2-1 retracts and disengages from the pushing contact with the pawl 20. Under the action of the torsion spring 4, the pawl 20 rotates in the opposite direction on the pawl column 21, so that the pawl 20 and the one-way ratchet 19 return to the locking contact.
