TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural seeding technology, in particular to an air pressure type high-speed precision seed metering device with top side seed discharge. BACKGROUND
[0002] Precision seed metering devices are essential components in modern agricultural machinery, playing a crucial role in achieving agricultural modernization and precision planting. By accurately controlling the number and spacing of seeds, it ensures that each plant receives optimal growing conditions, thereby improving yield and quality. Especially in large-scale mechanized seeding operations, precision seed metering technology can significantly reduce seed waste, optimize field management, and improve land utilization, which is of great significance to sustainable agricultural development.
[0003] The applicant's prior application CN117223443A discloses a typical air pressure type seed metering device. This seed metering device introduces airflow from the front and side of the seed metering disc. On the one hand, it causes the seed suction holes of the seed metering disc to generate suction force to pick up seeds. On the other hand, part of the airflow overflows from the seed metering pipe to promote seed discharge. This air pressure type seed metering device adopts a vertical seed metering pipe design. Seeds are affected by multiple factors such as gravity, airflow, and collision with the pipe wall during discharge. Combined with the internal airflow turbulence of the seed metering device, the consistency of the discharge speed of the seeds after being pushed out by the airflow force under the combined factors is poor, which reduces the accuracy of the planting spacing. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides an air pressure type high-speed precision seed metering device with top side seed discharge that can improve seed discharge stability and precision.
[0005] Technical solution: To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the air pressure type high-speed precision seed metering device with top side seed discharge of the present application has a first housing, a second housing, a seed metering disc, and a seed metering pipe. The seed metering disc is installed in the space enclosed by the first housing and the second housing, and the first housing and the second housing are located on the front and back sides of the seed metering disc.
[0006] The seed metering disc has circumferentially arrayed seed suction holes. The first housing has a seed tank and a first air inlet. The second housing has a hollow hole.
[0007] The seed metering pipe is connected to the top side of the first housing and is arranged horizontally.
[0008] The first housing has a circular arc-shaped air groove, and the seed inlet of the seed metering pipe is connected to the upper end of the circular arc-shaped air groove.
[0009] The gas entering the first housing from the first air inlet enters the lower end of the circular arc-shaped air groove.
[0010] When working, the edge of the groove wall of the circular-arc air groove contacts with the seed plate or leaves a small gap, so that the circular-arc air groove and the seed plate enclose a first air inlet at the lower part and an air outlet at the upper part. A part of the air in the air cavity flows out from the suction hole to the back of the seed plate, so that the suction hole covered by the circular-arc air groove generates suction force. Thus, the suction hole can take seeds from the seed box and move the seeds from the lower part to the upper part along the circular-arc air groove to the seed inlet of the seed discharge pipe.
[0011] Further, the seed box is provided with a second air inlet, and the first air inlet is located on an air inlet pipe which is provided with a branch pipe connected to the second air inlet.
[0012] The bottom of the seed box is provided with an inclined partition plate, and a plurality of air holes are arranged on the partition plate. A part of the seeds are accumulated above the partition plate. The air flow from the second air inlet blows upward from the lower side of the partition plate through the air holes, so that the seeds on the partition plate are stirred to facilitate the suction of the seeds by the suction hole.
[0013] Further, the first housing is further provided with an air inlet cavity, the air inlet pipe is connected to the air inlet cavity, and an arc-shaped air door is arranged between the air inlet cavity and the circular-arc air groove. The air door can rotate and adjust the position along the central axis of the air inlet cavity. An adjusting handle is arranged on the first housing and extends out of the first housing. An arc-shaped slot is formed on the first housing for sliding of the adjusting handle. A wind guide cover is fixed in the first housing. The wind guide cover and the air inlet cavity jointly form a wind guide channel for guiding the air flow into the circular-arc air groove. In fact, the air door is arranged between the wind guide cover and the circular-arc air groove. A wind guide plate is arranged in the circular-arc air groove along the air inlet direction of the wind guide cover. The wind guide plate is arranged in an inclined manner, and the distance between the wind guide plate and the seed plate gradually increases along the air inlet direction. Thus, the air flow entering the circular-arc air groove from the wind guide channel can be prevented from blowing the seeds sucked by the suction hole.
[0014] By adopting the structure, the air inlet amount of the circular-arc air groove can be adjusted, so that the suction hole can suck the seeds and the discharge speed of the seeds can be adjusted.
[0015] Further, a seed cleaning mechanism is arranged in the circular-arc air groove.
[0016] Further, the seed cleaning mechanism comprises an arc-shaped sliding strip and a seed cleaning piece fixed on the arc-shaped sliding strip. The seed cleaning piece is in a conical shape. The first housing is provided with a sliding groove for sliding of the arc-shaped sliding strip. The sliding groove is in a circular-arc shape, and the center of the sliding groove is different from the center of the seed plate.
[0017] Further, the second shell is rotatably installed with a roller, the roller is arranged on both sides of the seed sowing disc and is aligned with the seed inlet of the seed sowing pipe; the roller is in contact with the back side of the seed sowing disc. In this way, the roller can block the back side of the suction hole reaching the seed inlet, so that the suction force of the suction hole disappears, and the seed can enter the seed sowing pipe smoothly.
[0018] Further, the seed sowing disc is internally provided with an internal gear part; the first shell is installed with a driving motor, and the output shaft of the driving motor is fixed with a gear engaged with the internal gear part. In this way, the driving motor can drive the seed sowing disc to operate accurately.
[0019] Beneficial effects: The air pressure type high-speed precision seed sower for upper side seed sowing has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] (1) By changing the position and posture of the seed sowing pipe, arranging the circular arc air groove and rearranging the air flow direction, the turbulence in the shell and the seed sowing pipe can be reduced, the stability of the air flow pressure in the seed sowing pipe can be ensured, the seed is pushed out horizontally in the seed sowing pipe, the seed is less affected by the complex factors in the initial stage of seed discharge (such as the vertical seed sowing pipe in the traditional seed sower, the seed is easily affected by the gravity and the pipe wall collision), and the seed can be accurately discharged and the plant spacing consistency can be improved after falling to the land through the pipe connected with the seed outlet of the seed sowing pipe.
[0021] (2) A part of the air flow entering the air inlet pipe from the first air inlet enters the seed box part through the branch pipe, promotes the seed turning in the seed box part, and achieves the purpose of promoting the seed suction of the suction hole. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
