[0068] The following describes embodiments of the present application in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information.

[0071] Unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "mounted," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed or detachable connections, or integration; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0072] As the core operating component of the seeder, the seed meter changes its speed in real time according to the changes in the sowing operation speed. High-speed sowing requires that the seed meter speed changes with the vehicle speed while requiring high precision and smooth transmission. Its performance directly determines the sowing quality and crop yield.

[0073] Conventional pneumatic seeders generally use mechanical transmission methods such as chains or drive shafts 305. When the sowing operation speed is fast, due to the dynamic response hysteresis and vibration of the transmission system, seed adsorption failure in the edge area of ​​the seed suction plate may occur, resulting in missed sowing. At the same time, seeds may be ejected from the inside of the seed suction cavity, resulting in poor sowing uniformity and affected planting yields.

[0074] In response to the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an air-blown small-size seed metering device and a seeding method, which can achieve high-speed and precise discharge of small-size seeds with high seeding efficiency and good seeding performance.

[0075] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] See also Figures 1-13 , an air-blown small-particle seed metering device, which includes: a seed delivery device 5, a seed transport device 3, a seed metering device 1, a transmission device 2, a shell 4 and a controller 6, and the seed transport device 3, the seed metering device 1 and the transmission device 2 are arranged and installed in the shell 4.

[0077] The seed delivery device 5 includes: a first fan 501, a branch air box 502, and a seed delivery cylinder 503. The first fan 501 is connected to the air inlet end of the branch air box 502 via a pipe. The top of the seed delivery cylinder 503 is open, and the bottom of the seed delivery cylinder 503 is a wire mesh 5031. The bottom of the seed delivery cylinder 503 is connected to the air outlet end of the branch air box 502 via a pipe. By connecting the first fan 501 to blow air, the seeds placed in the seed delivery cylinder 503 can be blown out from the top of the seed delivery cylinder 503. The wire mesh 5031 is a wire mesh 5031, and the minimum mesh diameter of the wire mesh 5031 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the seeds.

[0078] Specifically, the air distribution box 502 is provided with a first air outlet pipe and a second air outlet pipe, and a first solenoid valve 5021 and a second solenoid valve 5022 are respectively provided on the first air outlet pipe and the second air outlet pipe; the air outlet end of the first air outlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the seed delivery cylinder 503 through a pipeline.

[0079] The seed delivery device 5 further comprises: a seed blowing pipe 504 , the air outlet of the seed blowing pipe 504 being correspondingly arranged at the outlet of the seed delivery cylinder 503 ; the air outlet end of the second air outlet pipe is connected to the seed blowing pipe 504 through a pipeline.

[0080] The controller 6 establishes electrical connections with the first solenoid valve 5021 and the second solenoid valve 5022 respectively.

[0081] In this embodiment, by providing a first air outlet pipe and a second air outlet pipe in the air distribution box 502, air can be supplied to the seed delivery barrel 503 and the seed blowing pipe 504 respectively through the first fan 501. By providing a first solenoid valve 5021 and a second solenoid valve 5022 on the first air outlet pipe and the second air outlet pipe respectively, the on-off and air supply size of the first air outlet pipe can be controlled to better control the seeds in the seed delivery barrel 503, so that the seeds in the seed delivery barrel 503 are in a boiling state when air is supplied, and the suspension height of a small amount of seeds reaches the top orifice position of the seed delivery barrel 503. At the same time, the on-off and air supply size of the second air outlet pipe can be controlled to achieve spraying at the top orifice of the seed delivery barrel 503 and blow off excess seeds.

[0082] The transport device 3 includes: a negative pressure gas disc 301, a negative pressure pipeline, a transport disc 304, a transport tube 303 and a transmission shaft 305. The negative pressure gas disc 301 is provided with a negative pressure slot 3012 and a negative pressure partition 3011. The negative pressure pipeline is connected to the top of the negative pressure gas disc 301. The transmission shaft 305 is vertically installed in the shell 4. The transport disc 304 is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft 305. Several transport-shaped holes 3041 are provided on the circumference of the transport disc 304. The transport tube 303 is installed at the lower position of the transport disc 304. The negative pressure air disc 301 is a hollow circular disc with the same diameter as the seed transport disc 304. A negative pressure baffle 3011 is installed on one side of the negative pressure air disc 301, and a negative pressure slot 3012 on the other side is connected to the exhaust duct 302 of the second fan 103 in the seeding device 1 to generate negative pressure in the negative pressure air disc 301. The seed transport disc 304 is installed above the seed blowing pipe 504.

[0083] Specifically, a seed baffle 3042 is provided at the bottom of the transport hole 3041. The internal volume of the seed baffle 3042 is set according to the volume of a conventional seed and can only accommodate one seed. The diameter of the transport hole 3041 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the target seed.

[0084] In this embodiment, negative pressure is generated by providing a negative pressure air disc 301, and the seed-carrying holes 3041 located below the negative pressure slot 3012 can generate negative pressure. When the transmission shaft 305 drives the seed-carrying disc 304 to rotate, the seed-carrying holes 3041 can absorb and transport the seeds at the top opening of the seed delivery barrel 503. When the seed-carrying holes 3041 rotate to a position below the negative pressure baffle 3011, the negative pressure disappears, and the seeds in the seed-carrying holes 3041 fall into the seed-carrying tube 303 for transportation. The present application further ensures the seed-carrying effect by providing a seed-carrying baffle 3042. At the same time, by cooperating with the seed-blowing tube 504, each seed-carrying hole 3041 can only absorb one seed at a time, so that the seeds can be discharged in a stable, single-grain manner.

[0085] The seeding device 1 includes: a drive motor 106, a seeding base 1013, a seeding fan disc 1012, a seeding pipe 105 and a second fan 103. The drive motor 106 is vertically fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 4, the seeding base 1013 is fixedly installed on the top of the drive motor 106, and the seeding fan disc 1012 is arranged and installed in the seeding base 1013 and fixedly connected to the drive shaft 102 of the drive motor 106. The drive motor 106 drives the seeding fan disc 1012 to move in the seeding base 1013;

[0086] The top of the seeding base 1013 is connected to the seed transport tube 303, and the bottom of the seeding base 1013 is provided with a seeding hole 1014. The seeding pipe 105 is installed below the seeding hole 1014. The air outlet end of the second fan 103 is connected to the seeding pipe 105 through a pipe, and the air inlet end of the second fan 103 is connected to the negative pressure pipe. By driving the second fan 103, the negative pressure air disk 301 generates negative pressure.

[0087] Specifically, a seeding cover plate 101 is provided on the top of the seeding base 1013 , and a seeding interface 1011 is provided on the seeding cover plate 101 ; the seeding interface 1011 is communicated with the seed transport pipe 303 .

[0088] In this embodiment, by connecting the top of the seeding base 1013 with the seeding tube 303 of the seeding device 3, the seeds transported through the seeding tube 303 fall into the seeding base 1013 through the seeding interface 1011. When the driving motor 106 drives the seeding fan disc 1012 to rotate, the seeding fan disc 1012 pushes the seeds to the seeding hole 1014, and then the seeds fall into the seeding pipe 105 and are discharged through the seeding pipe 105 under the blowing action of the second fan 103.

[0089] Specifically, a seed detection sensor 1015 is provided at the bottom of the seeding base 1013, and the seed detection sensor 1015 is correspondingly provided below the seeding interface 1011. An electrical connection is established between the controller 6 and the seed detection sensor 1015. The seed detection sensor 1015 is a photoelectric detection sensor.

[0090] In this embodiment, by setting up a seed detection sensor 1015, the seed delivery situation can be detected. When the seed detection sensor 1015 detects that there are no seeds, the driving motor 106 is controlled to increase the rotation speed to prevent missed seeds.

[0091] Specifically, a seeding pipe 105 hole is provided on the shell 4 ; the outlet of the seeding pipe 105 is limited and fixed by the seeding pipe 105 hole.

[0092] Specifically: the transmission shaft 305 in the housing 4 is fixed by the upper limit transmission shaft 305 bearing hole and the lower limit transmission shaft 305 bearing hole; the driving shaft 102 of the driving motor 106 in the housing 4 is fixed by the upper limit drive shaft 102 bearing hole.

[0093] In this embodiment, by fixing the transmission shaft 305 and the drive shaft 102 of the drive motor 106 in the housing 4, the installation stability of the structure can be improved and the normal operation of the device can be guaranteed.

[0094] The transmission device 2 includes: a driving wheel 201, a transmission belt 202 and a driven wheel 203. The driving wheel 201 is fixedly mounted on the driving shaft 102 of the driving motor 106, and the driven wheel 203 is fixed on the transmission shaft 305. The transmission belt 202 is connected between the driving wheel 201 and the driven wheel 203. The driving motor 106 drives the driving shaft 102 to rotate, so that the transmission shaft 305 can rotate under the transmission of the transmission device 2.

[0095] In this embodiment, by providing a transmission device 2 and transmitting through a transmission belt 202, the transmission is stable, fast, and has low vibration, which can effectively ensure the normal operation of the seed metering device and improve the efficiency of sowing.

[0096] Specifically, the seed metering device further includes a carbon powder box 104 ; the carbon powder box 104 is installed in the housing 4 , and a powder outlet end of the carbon powder box 104 is connected to the seed metering pipe 105 through a pipe.

[0097] In this embodiment, by setting up a carbon powder box 104, the carbon powder box 104 allows a small amount of carbon powder to enter the seed dispensing pipe 105 under the negative pressure of the second fan 103 and be mixed and wrapped with the seeds, thereby increasing the fluidity of the seeds and reducing the surface friction coefficient. Subsequently, the carbon powder entrains the seeds and is discharged individually under the action of the airflow, thereby effectively improving the sowing quality.

[0098] The controller 6 is electrically connected to the first fan 501 , the drive motor 106 and the second fan 103 . The controller 6 is a PLC controller 6 or a single chip microcomputer controller 6 , and is installed on the top of the air distribution box 502 .
