A distributed intelligent adjustable precision variable hole seeding drone according to claim 6, characterized in that: The driving member (65) comprises a driving shaft (651) rotatably connected to the top of the protective cover (62); a rectangular transmission block (652) is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the driving shaft (651); a rectangular hole (653) for inserting the rectangular transmission block (652) is provided at the center of the seeding disc (644); and a motor for rotationally driving the driving shaft (651) via two bevel gears is installed on the top of the protective cover (62).

8. The distributed intelligent adjustable precision variable hole seeding drone according to claim 6, characterized in that: A circular adjustment plate (646) is provided on the top of the seeding disk (644), and a plurality of outlets (647) in a circular array are provided on the outer surface of the circular adjustment plate (646), and a control plate (648) is fixedly connected to one side of the inside of the plurality of outlets (647), and the plurality of control plates (648) are respectively inserted into the corresponding seed filling grids (645), and the seeding disk (644) and the circular adjustment plate (646) are fitted with each other, and the seeding disk (644) and the circular adjustment plate (646) are installed in a relative rotation manner, and the relative rotation angle is controllable.

9. A distributed intelligent adjustable precision variable hole seeding drone sowing method as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1. According to the preset seed quantity per mu inputted from the monitoring station, the intelligent control system calculates the required rotation speed of the sowing component (6) according to the preset seed quantity per mu, the current flight speed, and the sowing width, and sends the rotation speed information to the speed regulator; S2, the speed regulator receives the speed information output by the intelligent control system and controls the sowing component (6) to perform sowing; S3, the intelligent control system compares the input actual sowing amount with the preset sowing amount per mu, and based on the relative error between the two, calculates the required speed of the sowing component (6) again and outputs the speed information to the speed regulator; S4, repeat S2 to achieve closed-loop control of seeding amount.
