[0059] More specifically:
[0060] The corn planter uses a lithium battery 1 as a power source to drive three DC speed regulating motors, a stepping motor 4, two driving motors 2 to drive the front wheels 5 to rotate, a seed disc motor 3 to control the seed sowing device 6 to work to realize seed sowing, and a stepping motor 4 to drive the sliding block 7 to reciprocate on the guide rail 8 to drive the point sowing device 9 to work to realize sowing.
[0061] The seed disc motor 3 is fixedly installed on the inner shell 61 of the seed sowing device 6 through a motor base 12, the motor output shaft 62 is connected with the moving disc 63 through a key, during sowing, the moving disc 63 is located above the fixed disc 64 and is movably connected with the fixed disc 64, the fixed disc 64 is fixedly connected with the inner shell 61 of the seed sowing device 6 and is only provided with one seed outlet, the inner shell 61 of the seed sowing device is connected with the outer shell 65 through threads, and the baffle 66 is fixedly installed on the inner shell 61 of the seed sowing device to filter out excess seeds, the seeds are placed on the moving disc 63, the moving disc 63 rotates one circle to evenly drop three seeds, and the seeds fall along the gap between the outer shell 65 of the seed sowing device and the fixed disc 64.
[0062] The moving pipe 91 of the point sowing device 9 is placed in the lower hole of the outer shell 65 of the seed sowing device, an unthreaded groove is formed in the middle section, and the moving pipe 91 is fixedly connected with the sliding block 7 through screws, the lower part of the moving pipe 91 is welded with the duckbill fixed mouth 92, the duckbill fixed mouth 92 is hingedly connected with the moving mouth 93, the stepping motor 4 drives the screw rod 17 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding block 7 to move along the guide rail 8, driving the point sowing device 9 to synchronously reciprocate, and completing the duckbill 15 entering and coming out of the soil.
[0063] In the process of opening the duckbill by contacting the single opening slide, the moving duckbill always has a pressure on the outer wall of the single opening slide due to the elastic force of the duckbill spring, and this pressure continues until the duckbill separates from the single opening slide. Under the action of this pressure, the arc-shaped limiting block of the moving duckbill is clamped into the movable end slot of the single opening slide. In the process of downward seeding, the fixed duckbill 92 and the moving duckbill 93 move downward to contact the single opening slide 10 (as shown in Figure 10 ) and continue to move downward. Due to the reaction force of the top of the slide, the moving duckbill 93 rotates and separates from the fixed duckbill 92, realizing the opening of the duckbill device and seeding, as shown in Figure 11 . After seeding, the top extension end of the moving duckbill 93 is clamped into the clamping slot of the movable block, driving it to vertically rise along the guide slot, as shown in Figure 12 .
[0064] When rising, the fixed duckbill drives the moving duckbill to move upward, and the extension end of the moving duckbill is clamped in the clamping slot of the movable block, synchronously driving the single opening slide to move upward to the guide slot opening. The extension end lifts the movable block and drives it to rotate counterclockwise, extruding the torsional spring at the back. The lifting force exceeds the compression force of the torsional spring, and the movable block opens, as shown in Figure 13 . Further, the extension end is separated from the guide slot opening, and the fixed duckbill continues to rise. After the extension end of the moving duckbill slides out of the clamping slot of the movable block, it continues to rise due to the compression force of the spring. The moving duckbill rotates and closes back to the original position, as shown in Figure 14 . The single opening slide falls to the bottom of the guide slot of the slide bracket under the action of gravity, as shown in Figure 15 . Thus, the moving of the moving pipe 82 synchronously drives the entering and exiting of the fixed duckbill 83 and the moving duckbill 84.
[0065] When the point seeder 9 is lowered to the lowest position, the duckbill 15 will be pressed into the soil and opened due to the presence of the single opening slide 10, and three corn seeds will be sown. The single opening slide 10 is movably connected with the slide bracket 18, and the slide bracket 18 has guide slots on both sides. The cylindrical structures on both sides of the single opening slide 10 are placed in the guide slots, which can ensure that the single opening slide 10 slides up and down along the inside of the slide bracket 18. The slide bracket 18 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 11 by screws, as shown in Figure 6 . With the reciprocating movement of the stepping motor 4 driving the slide block 7, this process is repeated until the seeding is completed. The soil covering wheel 13 is fixedly installed at the tail of the bracket to complete the soil covering work.
