Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of seed equipment, in particular to a blocking seed metering device for precision seeding of breeding plots. BACKGROUND

[0002] The planting link of corn plot breeding test is quite cumbersome. In the process of corn breeding and selection, different varieties are planted in each plot, and the plot area is small. When sowing, the seed needs to be frequently replaced. The sowing machine needs to be frequently stopped for seed replacement, which seriously affects the production efficiency and is not suitable for plot sowing operation. Seed industry mechanization is an important foundation and prerequisite for modern seed industry. With the continuous development of seed industry mechanization in China, the requirements for mechanized operation are becoming higher and higher. Corn plot special sowing machine is also developing. Crop variety breeding is the core stage of seed industry research and development, and thousands of varieties need to be planted in the same test field at the same time, in the same place. After cultivation under the same conditions, the high-yield varieties are finally selected and entered into the next generation of breeding. After multiple iterations, high-yield varieties are obtained.

[0003] Each variety is planted in a small plot with a specified length and width, which is called a breeding test plot. During the plot sowing process, the following requirements are required:

[0004] 1. Only a small amount of seed of one variety is sown in each plot, and a different variety is switched in the next plot. The varieties in the plots cannot be mixed, that is, the seed of the previous plot cannot be left in the next plot.

[0005] 2. The interval between each row of plots and the next row of plots forms an "interval passage". The interval passage cannot be sown. The passage is used to isolate the varieties of the front and rear plots, reduce the mutual influence between the varieties, and facilitate researchers to walk in the interval passage when investigating in the field, and facilitate the plot harvester to distinguish different plots when harvesting.

[0006] 3. Each plot requires the same number of seeds, the same depth of sowing, and the same spacing of sowing (also known as "plant spacing"). In this way, the initial state of seed development can be ensured to be the same, so that each plot can be compared under the same conditions.

[0007] For breeding tests, the larger the test amount and the more test sites, the better the performance of a variety can be seen. Therefore, it is necessary to sow at multiple test sites, with thousands of plots sown at each test site. In order to ensure the uniformity of the climate conditions of the test, the sowing at each test site requires to be completed in the shortest possible time.

[0008] In order to realize a large number of cell seeding in a short time and meet the special requirements of cell seeding, a cell seeding machine specially designed for cell seeding must be used. The cell seeding machine is divided into a cell strip seeding machine and a cell precision seeding machine. The cell strip seeding machine is to uniformly spread the seeds of one variety into the same cell through all the input seeders. After the seeds germinate, the extra seedlings are removed by hand, and the equidistant seedlings are left. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The cell precision seeding machine is more advanced, can seed single seeds with a fixed plant spacing, realizes precision and precision seeding, and does not need manual spacing after germination, which is more in line with the trend of mechanization. Most components of the cell precision seeding machine and the existing field precision seeding machine can be used in common, such as fertilizer furrow opener, seeding furrow opener, press wheel, profiling depth limiting wheel and seeding unit. The main difference between the cell precision seeding machine and the existing field precision seeding machine lies in that the cell precision seeding machine needs to frequently change seeds and clean seeds, and the seeders for cell seeding are specially designed. The existing cell precision seeding machine seeder on the market has the following shortcomings:

[0009] 1. Due to the lack of limiting mechanism, there is excessive seeding in the interval passage between the cells that should not be seeded, resulting in germination in the interval passage, poor alignment effect of the interval passage, poor length consistency, increased mutual influence of the varieties during later growth, and impact on subsequent researchers' field investigation and harvester harvesting;

[0010] 2. The existing technology uses time to control the action of each door in the seeder, and the driving speed of the seeding machine fluctuates due to the unevenness and softness of the ground surface in the field. Therefore, the use of time to control the action of the seeder will make the plant spacing of each cell and the length of the interval passage greatly different, and the seeding is extremely chaotic;

[0011] 3. The existing cell precision seeding machine seeder lacks monitoring equipment inside the seeder, cannot monitor the operation inside the seeder, cannot determine the malfunctioning mechanical parts in time, and affects the seeding effect. Moreover, the existing cell seeder does not have the function of detecting the number of seeds seeded, cannot record the seeding situation in real time, and is not convenient for the later management of breeding tests.

[0012] Therefore, the existing technology needs to be further improved and improved. SUMMARY

[0013] The present application provides a blocking type seeder for breeding cell precision seeding to solve the problems in the prior art that the seeder is easy to cause interval germination, affect the harvesting research, the seeding environment is not the same, easy to cause seeding chaos, lack of monitoring equipment, low intelligent degree, and difficult to plan accurate seeding research and test management.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 to 9 The seed sowing unit 3 includes a seed sowing disc 33, an inner seed scraping plate 34, an outer seed scraping plate 35, a pointer 36, a limiting plate 37, a pointer 36 fixing plate 38, a transmission shaft 39 and a second bevel gear 40. The gear set includes a gear box 30, a gear shaft 31 and a first bevel gear 32. The seed sowing disc 33 is provided with a hexagonal hole in the center. One end of the transmission shaft 39 is connected to the hexagonal hole of the seed sowing disc 33, and the other end is connected to the second bevel gear 40. The second bevel gear 40 is engaged with the first bevel gear 32. The gear box 30 is arranged on the outside of the rear shell 14. The gear shaft 31 passes through the gear box 30 horizontally and is connected to the first bevel gear 32. The inner seed scraping plate 34 is arranged on the inside of the rear shell 14. The bottom of the outer seed scraping plate 35 is connected to the limiting plate 37. The limiting plate 37 is rotatably connected to the pointer 36. The pointer 36 is arranged in the pointer 36 fixing plate 38. The pointer 36 fixing plate 38 is arranged on the edge of the rear shell 14 unit 2 close to the front shell 8.

[0060] The inner and outer seed scraping plates 35 are responsible for scraping off the excess seeds. For example, if the sowing requirement is single-seed sowing, but three seeds are sucked by the suction hole, the middle seed is the normal sowing seed, and the seeds on both sides need to be scraped off. The inner seed scraping plate 34 is responsible for scraping off the excess seeds on the inner side, and the outer seed scraping plate 35 is responsible for scraping off the excess seeds on the outer side. The center of the seed metering plate 33 is provided with a hexagonal hole for connecting with the transmission shaft 39. The end of the transmission shaft 39 connected with the seed metering plate 33 is also hexagonal. Therefore, the rotation of the transmission shaft 39 drives the rotation of the seed metering plate 33, realizing the continuous sowing function. In addition, the round holes on the seed metering plate 33 are suction holes for sucking seeds (the process of filling seeds is that a suction hole sucks a seed). The long strip is called a seed disturbing groove, which is different from the suction hole. The seed disturbing groove does not need to be punched through, and it plays a role in disturbing the seed population in the filling seed area, which can improve the activity of the seed population in the filling seed area and facilitate the filling of seeds.

[0061] Further, as shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 8 , the transmission shaft 39 and the second bevel gear 40 are fixedly connected by a key, which is to drive the transmission shaft 39 to rotate through the rotation of the second bevel gear 40. Specifically, the process of driving the seed metering plate 33 to rotate can be described as follows: under the action of external driving, the gear shaft 31 starts to rotate, the gear shaft 31 drives the first bevel gear 32 to rotate, the first bevel gear 32 and the second bevel gear 40 are in meshing transmission, so the second bevel gear 40 rotates under the driving of the first bevel gear 32, the second bevel gear 40 drives the transmission shaft 39 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 39 drives the seed metering plate 33 to rotate.

[0062] Preferably, the execution unit 4 includes a seed feeding cylinder 41, a blocking cylinder 42, a seed cleaning cylinder 43, a parallel four-bar mechanism 44, a connecting rod 45, a first Y-shaped connector 46, a second Y-shaped connector 47, the seed feeding cylinder 41 is arranged above the cover plate 26 of the seed storage chamber 25 and is connected with the seed feeding door plate 15 to drive the seed feeding door plate 15 to move vertically, one end of the blocking cylinder 42 is provided with the first Y-shaped connector 46, the other end is connected with the seed cleaning cylinder 43, the parallel four-bar mechanism is arranged at the first Y-shaped connector 46 and is connected with the linkage rotating shaft 19 and the blocking rotating shaft 17, the second Y-shaped connector 47 is arranged at the other end of the seed cleaning cylinder 43 and is connected with one end of the connecting rod 45, and the connecting rod 45 is rotationally connected with the seed cleaning rotating shaft 21.

In addition, the blocking plate 16 and the linkage plate 18 move synchronously, and the two are connected to the blocking cylinder 42 through the parallel four-bar mechanism 44.

[0066] Further, the infrared counter component includes a first infrared counter 52 and a second infrared counter 53, both of which are arranged in the rear housing 14 unit 2, and the first infrared counter 52 and the second infrared counter 53 are fixed on the infrared counter fixing plate 29 and are oppositely arranged.

[0067] Among them, the infrared counter is generally composed of two, one transmits a signal, and the other receives a signal; the infrared counter is usually composed of a counter, a photoelectric switch and a microcomputer control circuit. When the object passes through the counting area, it will block the infrared rays, thereby generating an electric pulse signal, and the upper computer 6 converts the signal into a digital signal and displays it. The infrared counter will generate an electric pulse signal every time a seed passes through the counting area. For example, 26 electric pulse signals are generated in a small area, indicating that 26 seeds are sown in this small area. After sowing in this small area, the upper computer 6 will store this data, and at the same time, the counting will be cleared, and the sowing quantity of the next small area will be recorded.

[0068] Furthermore, the upper computer 6 can use a computer to analyze and store data, so as to monitor and analyze the sowing partition of the seeds in real time, and the application can also be provided with an encoder, which can be programmed and controlled by existing software, such as single-chip microcomputer, PLC program, etc. In use, the seed metering device of the application can be installed on a walking tractor to perform long-distance seed metering, and an electronic encoder is installed on the ground wheel to identify the walking distance of the seeding machine, so as to identify the trigger signal according to the identified distance and the data set before work, so as to realize the automatic control connection between the seed feeding, seed filling, seed metering, seed blocking and seed cleaning, and the quick and residue-free switching between different small area varieties.

[0069] Specifically, in use, the seed metering device of the application can follow the following steps:

[0070] S1: The tractor is started, the upper computer 6 and the monitoring system 5 are started, the negative pressure cavity in the front housing 8 is filled with negative pressure, and the seed is prepared to be sucked; the tractor walking the small area seeding machine is provided with an automatic driving navigation capable of sending a trigger signal at a specified distance, and at the same time, the small area seeding machine starts to identify the distance of the seeding machine walking through the electronic encoder installed on the ground wheel; the first camera 48 monitors whether there is seed in the buffer area, if there is no seed, an alarm signal is sent and the machine is stopped for fault checking, if there is seed, the seeding machine continues to move forward; after the navigation sends the first trigger signal of the sown small area, the point is taken as the first small area sowing starting point, at this time, the piston rod of the cleaning cylinder 43 is extended, the cleaning door plate is closed, the piston rod of the feeding cylinder 41 is retracted, the feeding door plate 15 is opened, and the seed in the buffer area enters the seed filling area;

[0071] S2: The seeds in the filling area are sucked by the negative pressure at the suction hole, and the seed sowing process begins. The second camera 49 monitors whether the filling process is normal. If not, stop and check. If normal, the seeder continues to move forward. After the seed inlet door plate 15 is opened for a certain distance (the distance is set in the program of the upper computer 6), the piston rod in the seed inlet cylinder 41 extends, and the seed inlet door plate 15 closes. The first camera 48 monitors whether there are seeds remaining in the buffer area. If there are seeds, an alarm signal is sent and the machine stops to check for faults. If there are no seeds, the seeder continues to move forward, and the next plot of seeds to be sown enters the buffer area. The seeds pass through the inner and outer seed scraping plates 34 and 35 to scrape off excess seeds. The third camera 50 monitors whether the inner and outer seed scraping plates 34 and 35 can timely scrape off excess seeds. If not, stop and adjust the position of the outer seed scraping plate 35 through the pointer 36. If yes, the seeder continues to move forward, and the scraped seeds return to the filling area through the first seed return plate 22. The seeds are transported to the seed dropping port without negative pressure for dropping. The infrared counter starts recording the number of seeds discharged. During the rotation of the seed sowing disc 33, the inner disturbance groove always disturbs the seed population in the filling area, keeping the seed population active and ensuring better seed suction. The seed inlet door plate 15 is opened for a certain distance to prevent the seeds in the buffer area from not falling into the filling area in time, causing residue. If the seed inlet door plate 15 closes too quickly, the residual seeds will mix with the next plot of seeds.

[0072] S3: The seeder continues to move forward. When the navigation sends a second trigger signal, the cleaning area is filled with negative pressure to prepare to suck away the remaining seeds. The piston rod in the cleaning cylinder 43 is retracted, the cleaning door plate is opened, and the remaining seeds in the filling area are cleaned away under the action of cleaning negative pressure and gravity. At the same time, the upper computer 6 records the forward distance from the point of the second trigger signal as the starting point, and sends a command to the blocking cylinder 42 to close after a certain distance (the distance is set in the program of the upper computer 6);

[0073] S4: After the cleaning door plate is opened for a certain distance (the distance is set in the program of the upper computer 6), the piston rod of the cleaning cylinder 43 extends, the cleaning door plate closes, and the second camera 49 monitors whether there are seeds remaining in the filling area. If there are seeds, stop and check. If there are no seeds, the seeder continues to move forward. At the same time, the piston rod of the seed inlet cylinder 41 is retracted, the seed inlet door plate 15 is opened, the next plot of seeds to be sown in the buffer area enters the filling area, and the seeds in the filling area are sucked by the negative pressure at the suction hole, starting the seed sowing process.

[0074] S5: At this time, the seeder advances the distance described in S3, the blocking cylinder 42 piston rod is extended, the blocking plate 16 and the linkage plate 18 change from open to closed state, the excess seeds are blocked, and the seeds are prevented from being sown in the interval passage. The blocked seeds enter the seed cleaning area through the second seed cleaning plate 23. The fourth camera 51 monitors whether the opening and closing state of the blocking plate 16 and the linkage plate 18 is normal. If not, stop and check and repair. If normal, the seeder continues to advance. After the blocking plate 16 and the linkage plate 18 are closed for a distance, the infrared counter stops counting, transmits the sowing amount data of the current area to the upper computer 6 for recording, and clears the quantity at the same time, and starts counting the sowing amount of the next area;

[0075] S5: After the blocking plate 16 and the linkage plate 18 are closed for a distance, the blocking cylinder 42 piston rod is retracted, the blocking plate 16 and the linkage plate 18 change to the open state, and the seed metering device performs the next area seed sowing;

[0076] S6: Until the navigation sends the next area trigger signal, the upper computer 6 clears the distance traveled in the last area and starts recording the distance again. Then, according to the distance traveled by the seeder, the seed metering device performs various actions, and the cycle is repeated.

[0077] S7: During the whole process of sowing operation, when the cylinder piston rod cannot be extended or retracted to the position, the upper computer 6 will send an alarm signal and display the fault cylinder code or name. At this time, the machine needs to be stopped for maintenance and adjustment to prevent sowing disorder.

[0078] S8: After the machine is stopped for maintenance, the seeds to be sown that are cleaned out can be put into the seed filling area through the manual seed feeding hopper 27, and the area sowing operation continues.
