AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When planting potatoes, the speed difference between the conveying equipment and the soil causes the potatoes to not be kept in the desired position, and the interference of the conveying equipment may exert undesirable impact on the propagation crop, resulting in large variations in potato holes or plant spacing.

Method used

The seeding device is designed with a guiding mechanism so that the vertical component of the output direction is less than the horizontal component. Gravity and the guiding mechanism are used to control the movement of the seed crop, reduce its relative speed with the soil, and ensure that the seed crop is output with the horizontal component of the movement greater than the vertical component, thereby reducing the impact on the soil.

Benefits of technology

It enables more precise placement of propagation crops on the soil, reduces variations in potato planting holes or plant spacing, and improves the accuracy and uniformity of sowing.

Abstract

A sowing device for sowing root crops, particularly for potatoes, preferably configured as a bowl planter, includes a scooping space for storing the propagated crop to be separated, and at least one conveying device configured to output the propagated crop. The conveying device includes at least one carrying element that surrounds in a circumferential direction during operation, a plurality of conveying elements arranged on the carrying element, and a guiding device having at least one guiding element configured to guide the propagated crop into an output area, thereby outputting the propagated crop from the sowing device in an output direction. Each conveying element forms a path during operation that extends through the scooping space to receive the propagated crop. The guiding device is configured such that the vertical component of the output direction is less than the horizontal component of the output direction, particularly the output direction extends at least substantially horizontally.
