Detailed implementation method:

[0018] The invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a segmented controlled airflow seeding device mainly consists of a central seed metering device (1), a venturi tube (2), a connecting pipe (3), a mixer (4), an exhaust cap (5), a distributor (6), a corrugated pipe (7), and a connecting elbow (8). The central seed metering device (1) is installed below the seed box of the pneumatic seeder to uniformly and quantitatively discharge the seeds in the seed box. The venturi tube (2) is fixed below and behind the central seed metering device (1) and has an inlet, an outlet, and a feed inlet. A high-pressure airflow generated by a fan enters the inlet of the venturi tube (2), and a negative pressure is generated at the feed inlet. Through the negative pressure, the seeds discharged by the central seed metering device (1) are sucked into the venturi tube (2), completing the gas-solid separation process. The mixture is transported to the mixer (4) through the outlet. The mixer (4) has two air inlets and two air outlets. The two air inlets are connected to two Venturi tubes (2) through connecting pipes (3), and the two air outlets are connected to two connecting elbows (8) through connecting pipes (3). The corrugated pipe (7) is fixed above the connecting elbows (8), the distributor (6) is fixed above the corrugated pipe (7), and the exhaust cap (5) is fixed above the distributor (6). Different forms of forage seeds enter the mixer (4) and are transported through the connecting elbows (3) and the corrugated pipes (7). After the forage seeds are distributed in the distributor (6), they are transported to the seed furrow through the seed delivery pipe to complete the sowing operation.

[0020] Figure 2The schematic diagram of the mixer (4) of the application comprises an inlet connecting pipe (4-1), an adjusting bolt (4-2), a baffle rotating shaft I (4-3), a shell (4-4), a baffle (4-5), a baffle rotating shaft II (4-6), a stepping motor (4-7), an outlet connecting pipe (4-8), and a baffle positioning block (4-9). The inlet connecting pipe (4-1) has two, which are respectively fixed at the left front and right front of the shell (4-4). The outlet connecting pipe (4-8) has two, which are respectively fixed at the left rear and right rear. The stepping motor (4-7) is fixed at the rear of the shell (4-4). The rotor of the stepping motor (4-7) is connected with the baffle rotating shaft II (4-6). The baffle rotating shaft I (4-3) is fixed at the two ends of the baffle rotating shaft II (4-6). The adjusting bolt (4-2) is located at the front end of the baffle rotating shaft I (4-3). The baffle positioning block (4-9) has four, which are fixed inside and are distributed in the horizontal and vertical directions. The stepping motor (4-7) drives the baffle rotating shaft II (4-6), the baffle (4-5), and the baffle rotating shaft I (4-3) to rotate in the shell (4-4). When rotated to position II, the baffle (4-5) divides the inner cavity of the shell (4-4) into two isolated spaces IV and VII. At this time, the inlet III, the inner cavity IV, and the outlet V constitute a connected space. Similarly, the inlet VI, the inner cavity VII, and the outlet VIII constitute another connected space. The seed flow entering the inlet III is not mixed with the seed flow entering the inlet VI. When the baffle (4-5) is rotated to position I, the inlet III, the inner cavity IV, the outlet V, the inlet VI, the inner cavity VII, and the outlet VIII are connected with each other. At this time, the seed flow entering the inlet III is mixed with the seed flow entering the inlet VI. Therefore, when the same row mixed sowing operation is needed, the baffle (4-5) is located at position I by controlling the stepping motor (4-7). When the alternate row mixed sowing operation is needed, the baffle (4-5) is located at position II by controlling the stepping motor (4-7), and the alternate row mixed sowing operation is completed by cooperating with the distributor.

The nut I (5-1) and the nut II (5-2) are matched with the screw rod (5-6), wherein the nut I (5-1) is located above the wind shield (5-3) and is used for locking the adjusted wind shield (5-3) to prevent the wind shield (5-3) from rotating due to mechanical vibration; the nut II (5-2) is fixed below the air outlet cap (5-4) and supports the screen (5-5) by rotating the screw rod (5-6); the air outlet cap (5-4) is located inside the wind shield (5-3) and is coaxial with the wind shield (5-3); the size of the air outlet can be controlled by adjusting the position relationship between the wind shield (5-3) and the air outlet cap (5-4) to discharge redundant air; the bearing (5-7) is fixed at one end of the screw rod (5-6) and is in contact with the screen (5-5) to prevent the screen (5-5) from being damaged when the screw rod (5-6) rotates; the outer circle of the screen (5-5) is extruded and fixed on the upper cover plate (6-1) through the air outlet cap (5-4); and the screen (5-5) forms a conical structure due to the support of the screw rod (5-6) and can effectively block the passage of grass seeds.

[0022] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The diagram shows a schematic of the distributor (6) of the present invention. The distributor (6) includes an upper cover plate (6-1), an electric push rod (6-2), a seed baffle plate (6-3), a seed outlet connecting pipe (6-4), a bottom plate (6-5), a corrugated connecting pipe (6-6), a flared mouth (6-7), a seed baffle plate rotating shaft (6-8), a slider (6-9), and a sliding rod (6-10). The electric push rod (6-2) is fixed above the upper cover plate (6-1), the upper cover plate (6-1) is fixed above the seed outlet connecting pipe (6-4), the bottom plate (6-5) is fixed below the seed outlet connecting pipe (6-4), the corrugated connecting pipe (6-6) is located inside the flared mouth (6-7) and is coaxial with the flared mouth (6-7), and the corrugated connecting pipe (6-6) is fixed below the bottom plate (6-5). 7) The upper end is fixed to the outer circle of the base plate (6-5). The seed baffle (6-3) is located inside the seed outlet connecting pipe (6-4) and fixed to the seed baffle shaft (6-8). The seed baffle shaft (6-8) passes through the round hole on the seed outlet connecting pipe (6-4). The slide rod (6-10) is fixed on the seed baffle shaft (6-8). One end of the slider (6-9) slides on the slide rod (6-10), and the other end is hinged to the electric push rod (6-2). When the electric push rod (6-2) extends or retracts, the slider (6-9) pulls the slide rod (6-10) to make a circular motion. The slide rod (6-10) drives the seed baffle shaft (6-8) and the seed baffle (6-3) to rotate, thereby realizing the closure of a single seed outlet. The controller controls the extension and retraction of all electric push rods (6-2) to realize the function of controllable sowing.

[0023] like Figure 7 As shown in the schematic diagram of the corrugated pipe (7) of the present invention, the inner diameter of the corrugated pipe (7) changes from one end to the other according to a certain rule, with the two ends being small and the middle being large, which can make the seed flow mix evenly in the corrugated pipe (7) to achieve the purpose of uniform seeding.
