For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a rotary arm type rapeseed automatic sowing mechanism includes a bracket 1, which is welded from stainless steel square tubes and has a square frame structure. The bracket 1 is a square bracket. The bracket 1 also includes a driving shaft mounting beam 101 located at the bottom of the bracket 1 along the short side for carrying the driving shaft 701, a seed storage tank positioning rod 103 located on the driving shaft mounting beam 101 along the long side, a lower hopper mounting beam 102 is set at the bottom of the bracket 1 along the short side, and a top mounting beam 104 is set at the top of the bracket 1 along the short side.

[0035] A seed storage tank 2 is provided in the bracket 1, and the seed storage tank 2 is provided on two seed storage tank positioning rods 103. Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown.

[0036] A lower hopper 3 is correspondingly provided on one side of the seed storage tank 2 , and a rotating arm 4 is rotatably provided on the upper side of the seed storage tank 2 , and the lower hopper 3 is located on a side away from the rotating arm 4 .

[0037] The lower hopper 3 is vertically mounted on the lower hopper mounting beam 102. The lower hopper 3 includes a funnel-shaped inoculation funnel. The lower end outlet of the inoculation funnel is connected to a lower feeding pipe 301. Of course, in order to ensure the uniformity of the seed dropping, a baffle that can be opened and closed at intervals can be added to the material pipe mouth, or an automatic valve can be added. For example, the lower hopper is divided into two, a vertical step design is used, and a baffle is added to the lower end of the first lower hopper. The baffle is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the rotation of the rotating shaft drives the baffle to open or close. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably mounted on the bracket 1, that is, it is rotatably mounted on the bracket 1 through the bearing seat. A torsion spring that can keep the baffle in a closed state is installed at both ends of the rotating shaft, that is, the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft 505, one end of which is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the other end is fixed on the bracket 1. The baffle is always in a closed state by the rebound force of the torsion spring, and the opening and closing of the baffle is achieved by intermittent pressing. Of course, a stepper motor or a servo motor can also be directly connected to the rotating shaft, the torsion spring design is cancelled, and the opening and closing of the baffle is achieved by PLC electronic control.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a driving shaft 701 is installed along the length direction at the bottom of the bracket 1. The driving shaft 701 is installed by welding two driving shaft mounting beams 101 along the short sides at the bottom of the bracket 1. A bearing seat Ⅰ901 is installed on the bottom surface of the driving shaft mounting beam 101. The driving shaft 701 is rotatably installed in the bearing seat Ⅰ901.

[0039] A driven shaft 702 is installed on the top of the bracket 1, that is, two top mounting beams 104 are set up along the short sides of the top of the bracket 1, and a bearing seat II 902 is installed on the top mounting beams 104, and the driven shaft 702 is installed in the bearing seat II 902.

[0040] The rotating arm 4 is mounted on the driven shaft 702 , and the driving shaft 701 drives the driven shaft 702 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 8 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 8 adopts a sprocket drive, that is, a driving sprocket 801 on the driving shaft 701 corresponds to a driven sprocket 802 installed on the driven shaft 702, and a chain 803 is installed between the driving sprocket 801 and the driven sprocket 802; of course, synchronous belt drive, belt drive, gear drive, etc. can also be used, which are all equivalent technologies.

[0042] A group of rotating arms 4, seed storage tanks 2 and lower hoppers 3 are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the driven shaft 702. In this embodiment, only the form of the active shaft 701 driving one driven shaft 702 to rotate is shown. According to needs, technical personnel in this field can set multiple driven shafts 702 and corresponding rotating arms 4, seed storage tanks 2 and lower hoppers 3 on the bracket 1, which are all within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, a seed taking spoon 5 is installed at the end of the rotating arm 4, and an inner cavity 401 is opened in the rotating arm 4, and the inner cavity 401 is connected with the spoon cavity 501 of the seed taking spoon 5. An arc-shaped curved feeding tube 6 is also installed on the rotating arm 4, and one end of the arc-shaped curved feeding tube 6 is connected with the inner cavity 401 of the rotating arm 4, and the other end can deliver the seeds into the feeding hopper 3 as the rotating arm 4 rotates after the seed taking spoon 5 takes seeds from the seed storage tank 2.

[0044] A protrusion 502 is provided in the spoon cavity 501 of the seed taking spoon 5 facing the spoon mouth. The protrusion 502 can ensure that only one rapeseed seed enters the spoon cavity 501 during the process of the seed taking spoon 5 rotating to take seeds from the movable seed storage inner groove 202, and no two rapeseed seeds enter the spoon cavity 501. Therefore, it should be noted that the size of the spoon cavity 501 should be designed according to the average size of the rapeseed seeds or corresponding seeds. It should be larger than the average size. Through a certain protrusion 502, it is ensured that only one rapeseed seed enters the spoon cavity 501, and the spoon mouth will be blocked by the entered seed, and other seeds cannot enter the spoon The cam 502 is located in the cavity 501, and the protrusion 502 is close to the inner cavity 401. The side of the protrusion 502 that is close to the inner cavity 401 is provided with an inclined high surface 503 to prevent the seeds from falling into the inner cavity 401 during the seed taking process of the seed taking spoon 5 in the movable seed storage inner groove 202, that is, to ensure that when the seed taking spoon 5 is about to leave the movable seed storage inner groove 202, the seeds in the spoon cavity 501 will not roll into the inner cavity 401. Only when the rotating arm 4 rotates past the horizontal height and has an upward tilt, can the seeds roll over the inclined high surface 503 and enter the inner cavity 401, just like scooping seeds with a spoon, so as to ensure as much as possible that only one seed is taken out each time it is rotated.

[0045] like Figure 4 、 Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the seed storage tank 2 includes a fixed seed storage outer tank 201 installed in the bracket 1, and a movable seed storage inner tank 202 is placed in the fixed seed storage outer tank 201. The bottom of the movable seed storage inner tank 202 is a conical structure or a pot-edge structure, that is, the bottom of the movable seed storage inner tank 202 is V-shaped, which matches the size of the seed spoon. Each time it rotates along the groove, it bites the hook, thereby ensuring that the seeds are close to the middle and there will be no leakage. Figure 8 shown.

[0046] The fixed seed storage outer tank 201 and the movable seed storage inner tank 202 are both arc-shaped or semicircular open tank structures, with a notch 205 at the center. The notch 205 is provided to avoid the arc-shaped bending of the discharge pipe 6 during the rotation process. A handle piece 204 is provided at one end of the movable seed storage inner tank 202, and a recovery pipe 203 is provided at the bottom of the fixed seed storage outer tank 201.

[0047] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving shaft 701 is driven to rotate by the power source 100, and the driving shaft 701 drives the driven shaft 702 to rotate through the sprocket transmission. The rotating arm 4 on the driven shaft 702 rotates to drive the seed taking spoon 5 to take a rapeseed seed from the movable seed storage inner groove 202 into the spoon cavity 501. As the rotating arm 4 rotates, when the seed taking spoon 5 leaves the movable seed storage inner groove 202 and has a certain inclination, the seed enters the arc-shaped curved discharge tube 6 through the inner cavity 401 of the rotating arm 4. At this time, the discharge end of the arc-shaped curved discharge tube 6 is aligned with the discharge hopper 3. The seeds can be quickly rotated along the arc-shaped curved discharge tube 6 at any time to enter the discharge hopper 3, thereby opening the furrow below. When sowing is not in progress, the movable seed storage inner groove 202 only needs to be rotated and rotated upward through the hand piece 204 of the movable seed storage inner groove 202 to make the seeds enter the fixed seed storage outer groove 201. The seeds can be recovered through the recovery pipe 203, and the movable seed storage inner groove 202 does not need to be taken out from the fixed seed storage outer groove 201.

[0048] The present invention is described in detail above through specific and preferred embodiments, but those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
