Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural sowing, and in particular relates to an automatic downforce regulating device and a sowing unit. Background Art

[0002] Mechanized sowing plays a vital role in increasing crop yield and yield per unit area. Stable and consistent sowing depth directly affects the uniformity of seed germination and emergence. The stability and consistency of sowing depth are also important indicators for evaluating sowing quality.

[0003] During seeding, soil hardness and surface undulation significantly influence sowing depth. Hard soil or upward traction resulting from the breakdown of traction can lead to insufficient downward pressure on the sowing unit, resulting in shallow sowing depth, which is detrimental to seed germination and weak seedlings, leading to yield reductions. Soft soil or downward traction resulting from the breakdown of traction can lead to excessive downward pressure on the sowing unit, resulting in deep sowing depth, which is detrimental to seed emergence and reduces yields. Inconsistent sowing depths can affect crop density and uniformity, subjecting crops to uneven temperature and light exposure, and thus impacting yields.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an adjustment device that can ensure the stability and consistency of the sowing depth. Summary of the Invention

The front end of the upper rod 110 is pivotally connected to the pin at the top of the side panel, forming a pivot point, designated as point A. The front end of the lower rod 120 is pivotally connected to the pin at the bottom of the side panel, forming another pivot point, designated as point B.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the rear ends of the two upper rods 110 are rotatably connected to the upper portion of the single frame 3 , and the rear ends of the two lower rods 120 are rotatably connected to the lower portion of the single frame 3 .

[0047] The electric push-pull rod 230 includes a shell 231 and a push-pull rod 232. The intermediate shaft 220 is fixed between the middle and rear sections of the two upper rods 110. The connection between the intermediate shaft 220 and the upper rods 110 is marked as point C. The top of the shell 231 is rotatably connected to the intermediate shaft 220.

The angle sensor 4 is used to collect the change information of the traction angle and transmit it to the controller 5. The controller 5 controls the operation of the electric push-pull rod 230.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the sensor control system includes an optical sensor 6, which is connected to the controller 5 and is used to collect the moisture content of the soil. Preferably, the optical sensor 6 is installed at the bottom of the front plate 100 of the parallel four-bar linkage profiling mechanism.

[0053] In a relatively specific embodiment, a first sleeve 130 is fixed to the upper portion of the monolithic frame 3. The rear ends of the two upper rods 110 are connected by a bolt that passes through the first sleeve 130 and can rotate within the first sleeve 130. A second sleeve 140 is fixed to the lower portion of the monolithic frame 3. The rear ends of the two lower rods 120 are connected by a bolt that passes through the second sleeve 140 and can rotate within the second sleeve 140. In addition, a connecting pipe 150 is fixed between the two lower rods 120.

[0054] Exemplarily, the single frame 3 includes a lower frame and an upper frame longitudinally fixed to the front end of the lower frame, the first sleeve 130 is fixed to the top of the upper frame, and the second sleeve 140 is fixed to the front end of the lower frame.

[0055] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment provides an optional installation method of the angle sensor 4. Figure 4 As shown, the angle sensor 4 includes an angle sensor fixed plate 400 and an angle sensor movable plate 410. The angle sensor fixed plate 400 is installed at one end of the second sleeve 140, and the angle sensor movable plate 410 is installed at the rear end of the lower rod 120 corresponding to the angle sensor fixed plate 400. The angle sensor movable plate 410 can rotate with the lower rod 120.

[0056] In another relatively specific embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the first roller 250 is installed on the first roller shaft 280, the second roller 260 is installed on the second roller shaft 290, and the ends of the first roller shaft 280 and the second roller shaft 280 are connected by a connecting plate 270; the first roller shaft 280 is connected to the bottom of the push-pull rod 232.

[0057] Another typical embodiment of the present invention provides a sowing unit, which includes the automatic downforce adjustment device described in the above embodiment, as well as a seeding system 7, a double-disc furrow opener 8, a depth limiting mechanism 9, a pressing device 10, and a sowing depth adjustment device 11.

[0058] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the seeding system 7 includes a seed box 700, a seeding device 710 and a seeding tube 720. The seeding device 710 is fixedly mounted on the single frame 3, the seed box 700 is fixed above the seeding device 710, the bottom of the seeding device 710 is connected to the seeding tube 720, and the bottom of the seeding tube 720 is located inside the double disc furrow opener 8.

[0059] The double disc furrow opener 8 is arranged below the single frame 3 and is mounted on the single frame 3 via a disc shaft 810 .

[0060] The depth limiting mechanism 9 is arranged behind the double disc furrow opener 8, and includes a depth limiting wheel 910, a wheel arm 920, a wheel axle 960, a limit block 930, a limit block shaft 940 and a down force sensor 950.

[0061] The two depth-limiting wheels 910 are respectively located at the rear position outside the double-disc furrow opener 8. The depth-limiting wheels 910 are connected to the single frame 3 through the wheel arm 920. One end of the wheel arm 920 is connected to the depth-limiting wheel 910, and the other end of the wheel arm 920 is connected to the single frame 3 through the wheel axle 960. The wheel axle 960 is fixed on the single frame 3.

[0062] refer to Figure 7 The limit block shaft 940 is installed on the single frame 3 above the wheel arm 920. The limit block 930 is provided with a middle hole. The middle hole of the limit block 930 is passed through the limit block shaft 940. The down pressure sensor 950 is installed at the lower end of the limit block shaft 940 and in the middle hole of the limit block 930. The limit block shaft 940 is connected to the sowing depth adjustment device 11. The sowing depth adjustment device 11 is installed behind the single frame 3. The sowing depth adjustment device 11 adjusts the sowing depth by adjusting the position of the limit block shaft 940.

[0063] The suppressing device 10 is arranged behind the sowing unit and is connected to the unit frame 3 through a shaft.

[0064] When the operation starts, the tractor pulls the sowing unit forward through the suspension device, and the optical sensor 6 collects soil moisture information and transmits it to the controller 5. The controller 5 sends the sowing unit downforce setting value range information to the electric push-pull rod 230 and the downforce sensor 950 in real time based on the information collected by the optical sensor 6.

[0065] The parallel four-link profiling mechanism 1 pulls the single frame 3 to move forward with the undulations of the ground. The electric push-pull rod 230 adjusts the force in real time according to the angle change information of the angle sensor 4 and as the parallel four-link profiling mechanism 1 floats up and down, so as to achieve the downward force of the sowing unit within the set value range.

[0066] Under the combined action of the gravity of the sowing unit, the tractor traction decomposition force and the push-pull force of the electric push-pull rod 230, the double-disc furrow opener 8 enters the soil to open a seed furrow, and the seeds are discharged from the seed box 700 through the seed meter 710 and the seed tube 720 into the seed furrow. The depth-limiting wheel 910 rotates upward under the action of the reverse force of the soil, and the depth-limiting wheel 910 and the wheel arm 920 support the limit block 930, and the limit block 930 also supports the lower pressure sensor 950. The lower pressure sensor 950 feeds back the actual value information of the lower pressure of the single frame 3 to the controller 5 in real time. At the same time, the depth-limiting wheel 910 squeezes the soil on the seed furrow, and the suppression device 10 completes the suppression of the seed furrow.

[0067] The following describes the process of downforce adjustment for different states. The main formulas involved are:

[0068] F=G+(±F1sinα)+(±F2);

[0069] Among them, F is the downward force of the sowing unit, G is the weight of the sowing unit, F1 is the traction force of the tractor on the sowing unit, F2 is the push and pull force of the electric push-pull rod, and α is the traction angle of the sowing unit, which refers to the angle between the traction line and the horizontal center line of the sowing unit during the traction process.

[0070] Set the initial state (when α is 0). At this time, the tractor's traction force on the sowing unit is only forward force, and there is no decomposition force. The push-pull rod 232 pulls back the second roller 260, and correspondingly pulls back the upper rod 110, and applies a certain downward force to the sowing unit, so that the downward force of the sowing unit is maintained within the set value range.

[0071] When α changes from 0° to 30°, the monomer frame 3 of the sowing monomer floats upward relative to the front plate 100, and the upper rod 110 and the lower rod 120 rotate counterclockwise around the points A and B at their respective front ends respectively. At the same time, relative rotation occurs between the angle sensor dynamic disk 410 and the angle sensor fixed disk 400 at the rear end of the lower rod 120. The angle sensor 4 transmits the α change information to the controller 5. The controller 5 sends an adjustment instruction to the electric push-pull rod 230 in real time according to the angle change information. The upper rod 110 drives the shell 231 to rotate counterclockwise through the intermediate shaft 220, and the driven rod 200 also rotates counterclockwise with the shell 231. When the cam 220 is in the forward direction, the second roller 260 is pulled back by the push-pull rod 232. ...

[0072] When the driven rod 200, the housing 231, and the line segment connecting points A and C are projected onto the same plane, a triangle is formed. Since the curved track 240 is fixed to the front plate 100 with the midpoint of the line connecting the two points A as its center, the triangle formed also rotates with the midpoint of the line connecting the two points A as its center. Therefore, the first roller 250 and the second roller 260 can roll along the curved track 240 with the push-pull rod 232. Because the push-pull rod 232 is constrained by the curved track 240 and the formed triangle, the length of the push-pull rod 232 extending from the housing 231 remains constant when the push-pull rod 232 rotates with the upper rod 110, whether pushing outward or pulling back. This also enables the electric push-pull rod 230 to exert a force-adding or force-reducing effect on the upper rod 110 in real time as it rotates with the parallel four-bar linkage contouring mechanism 1.

[0073] When α changes from 30° to 0°, the electric push-pull rod 230 rotates clockwise with the parallel four-bar linkage profiling mechanism 1. As α becomes smaller, the downward decomposition force of the traction force gradually becomes smaller, and the push-pull rod 232 pushes the first roller 250 outward and the upward force reduction adjustment gradually becomes smaller. When F2 decreases to 0, the push-pull rod 232 pulls back the second roller 260 according to the instruction of the controller 5, and correspondingly pulls back the upper rod 110. The electric push-pull rod 230 pulls back and adjusts the force downward, and the downward force adjustment gradually increases.

[0074] When α changes from 0° to -30°, the electric push-pull rod 230 rotates clockwise with the parallel four-bar linkage profiling mechanism 1. As α increases, the upward decomposition force of the traction force gradually increases, and the electric push-pull rod 230 pulls back the second roller 260 and the downward force adjustment gradually increases.

[0075] When α changes from -30° to 0°, the electric push-pull rod 230 rotates counterclockwise with the parallel four-bar linkage profiling mechanism 1. As α becomes smaller, the upward decomposition force of the traction force gradually becomes smaller, and the electric push-pull rod 230 pulls back the second roller 260 and the downward force adjustment gradually becomes smaller.

[0076] The downforce sensor 950 feeds back the actual downforce value at the double disc opener 8 to the controller 5 in real time. When the actual downforce exceeds the set value range, the controller 5 sends an immediate auxiliary adjustment instruction to the electromagnetic force adjustment mechanism to quickly adjust it to within the set value range.
