Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular relates to a wheat airflow-assisted seeding device and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Precision uniform sowing of wheat is an efficient planting technology with the characteristics of saving seeds, saving water, and increasing yield. It improves the ventilation and light transmission of wheat groups by optimizing the spatial layout of crops, thereby improving the canopy structure, increasing effective tillering, and increasing the accumulation of dry matter after flowering, and finally achieving the goal of saving costs and high yield. Relevant patent documents disclose a variety of precision wheat seeding devices. For example, the Chinese patent document with application publication number CN202310633247.6 discloses an air-suction wheat seeding device, which provides a reference scheme for realizing the mechanized operation of precision uniform sowing of wheat. The precision wheat seeding device improves the sowing accuracy in the seeding link, but the conventional gravity seeding cannot effectively maintain the uniformity of the seed flow. In the seeding link, wheat seeds are prone to collide with the wall of the seeding tube, thereby changing the movement state of the seeds, and ultimately resulting in a significant reduction in the stability of the grain spacing. Compared with conventional gravity seeding, airflow-assisted seeding accelerates the movement of seeds by introducing airflow in the seed guide tube, reducing the probability of collision between seeds and the tube wall during seeding, so as to ensure a higher stability of grain spacing, and has significant advantages under high-speed operation conditions. The Chinese patent documents with application publication numbers CN201880072964.3 and CN201780025121.3 disclose a sowing part for a precision pneumatic seeder and its adjustment method, which realizes seed acceleration by applying positive pressure airflow to the seeding tube, and changes the air pressure according to the seed type, and finally realizes uniform and orderly seeding.
