Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of planting equipment technology, specifically to an improved potato staggered planting device. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of agricultural modernization, the speed of land transfer, and the continuous expansion of farmers' operations, traditional manual sowing and ordinary mechanical sowing are inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale planting. Moreover, modern agriculture has put forward higher requirements for the intelligence, precision, and multi-functionality of agricultural machinery. At the same time, national policies also encourage the research and development of special crop equipment that can improve resource utilization and promote the transformation of agricultural mechanization towards high quality and high efficiency. This provides impetus and support for the research and development of improved potato staggered sowing equipment. If seed potatoes are not properly guided during the process of being placed into the planting trench, multiple problems can easily occur. Disorderly falling seed potatoes can cause them to accumulate at the discharge port and cause blockages. Forced transport can also cause seed potatoes to squeeze and collide with each other, significantly increasing the rate of skin damage and affecting later germination. At the same time, the random falling position of seed potatoes makes it impossible to accurately control the spacing between them in the soil, and the original design advantage of staggered dense planting is completely lost—either too dense, leading to competition for nutrients, or too sparse, wasting land. Ultimately, this results in chaotic seed potato transport and failure of planting precision. Damaged and missed seed potatoes will increase the need for replanting, which will not only increase seed costs, but also require more additional water, fertilizer and management costs later due to uneven seedling conditions, forming a chain of losses. To address this, we propose an improved staggered potato planting device. Summary of the Invention

A cylinder drives the pusher plate, rhythmically pushing the seed potatoes into the third guide trough and the first guide trough, finally landing on the first guide plate, achieving quantitative and uniform conveying. As the seed potatoes pass through, they squeeze the moving plate, causing the spring to vibrate and drive the first guide plate, assisting in seed potato separation and preventing jamming. Through zoned storage, multi-segment guidance, quantitative pushing, and vibration separation, seed potatoes are continuously and without blockage, providing material for subsequent staggered seed arrangement.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: an improved potato staggered planting device, including a frame assembly 1 for walking and moving, a plowing assembly 2 for opening planting furrows on one side of the lower end of the frame assembly 1, a storage assembly 3 for storing seed potato material on one side of the upper end of the frame assembly 1, a guiding assembly 4 for guiding the seed potato material stored in the storage assembly 3 to fall evenly inside the storage assembly 3, and a discharge assembly 5 for discharging the seed potato material into the planting furrow at the lower end of the guiding assembly 4; Furthermore, the equipment uses the frame assembly 1 as a mobile carrier. During operation, the plowing assembly 2 first digs planting furrows to provide a uniformly deep burial space for the seed potatoes, ensuring subsequent germination and growth. The storage assembly 3 stores the potatoes to be planted in batches, reducing the frequency of field feeding and improving operational efficiency. The guiding assembly 4, as the connecting structure between the storage assembly 3 and the discharge assembly 5, guides the seed potatoes to fall evenly and orderly through its internal flow guide design, avoiding accumulation and blockage, thus laying a solid foundation for precise planting. The discharge assembly 5 then precisely discharges the seed potatoes into the planting furrows. During the planting process, the staggered distribution between the structures of the discharge assembly 5 forms a staggered distribution pattern, thereby increasing the planting density and the utilization rate of the later growth space. All components work together to complete the furrowing, seed supply, and staggered planting operations in an integrated manner, effectively improving planting accuracy and efficiency, and contributing to high yields by optimizing planting density.
[0019] In the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the frame assembly 1 includes a vehicle plate 101, a ground wheel 102 is movably installed on one side of the lower end of the vehicle plate 101, a fixing plate 103 is fixedly installed on one side of the vehicle plate 101, a support plate 104 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing plate 103, and a fixing plate 2 105 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate 103. Furthermore, the frame assembly 1 moves in the field through the rolling friction between the ground wheels 102 and the ground, driven by the device's power. The platform 101 carries and fixes each functional component, ensuring their relative position is stable during movement and operation. The fixing plate 103, support plate 104, and fixing plate 2 105 provide stable installation support for the plowing assembly 2, ensuring structural rigidity during ditching operations and providing basic mobility support for subsequent continuous ditching, seed supply, and seeding operations.
[0020] In the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the plowing assembly 2 includes a plow blade 201, which is fixedly installed on the lower end of the support plate 104. Several plow blades 201 are provided, and plow blades 202 are fixedly installed on one side of each plow blade 201. The plow blades 201 and 202 are in a connected structure. A thin plate 203 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the plow blades 201 and 202. A plow tip 204 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the plow blades 201 and 202. A fixing post 205 is fixedly connected to the connection point on one side between the plow blades 201 and 202 and the plow tip 204. A plow tip 206 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing post 205 near the front end of the plow tip 204. Furthermore, when the frame assembly 1 moves the equipment, the plowing assembly 2 moves forward synchronously with the equipment. At this time, the foremost plow tip 206 first inserts into the soil, breaking the surface with the help of the equipment's forward momentum. Then, the plow tip 204 goes deeper into the soil, guiding the plow wings 201 and 202 to cut into the preset depth. The integrated plow wings 201 and 202 push the soil to both sides through the curved structure, forming a continuous planting trench. The thin sheet 203 fits against the trench wall, reducing soil fallback and ensuring the trench shape is regular. At the same time, the layout of multiple plow wings 201 can simultaneously open multiple parallel planting trenches, adapting to the multi-row staggered sowing of the subsequent material discharge assembly 5, providing the preconditions for the precise planting of seed potatoes. Therefore, it realizes the simultaneous opening of multiple planting trenches to adapt to the needs of multi-row sowing.
[0021] In the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the storage component 3 includes a seed potato box 301, which is fixedly installed inside the fixed plate 103 near the support plate 104. A box cover 302 is movably installed on the upper end of the seed potato box 301. Storage compartments 303 are fixedly installed inside the seed potato box 301, and three sets of storage compartments 303 are provided. The material guiding component 4 includes a partition 401, which is fixedly installed at the lower end of the storage compartments 303. The top surface of the partition 401 has an opening. Material guide chute 402, three sets of which are provided. A fixing seat 403 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the partition 401 near the storage compartment 303. Three sets of fixing seats 403 are provided, and a fixing seat 404 is fixedly installed on one side of each of the three sets of fixing seats 403. The fixing seats 403 and 404 are of a single unit. Material guide chute 405 is provided on the top surface of each of the three sets of fixing seats 404. Corresponding to the discharge port at the bottom of the storage compartment 303, each of the three sets of fixed bases 403 has a spring 406 fixedly connected inside. A movable plate 407 is movably connected to one side of each of the three sets of springs 406 near the connection between fixed base 403 and fixed base 404. A guide plate 408 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each of the three sets of movable plates 407 near the lower end of fixed base 403. The guide plate 408 has an inclined structure. One side of each of the three sets of fixed bases 404... Each set is equipped with a cylinder 409. The telescopic ends of the three sets of cylinders 409 are all connected to push plates 4010. The bottom surface of the three sets of fixed seats 404 is provided with guide grooves 4011. The guide grooves 4011 and guide grooves 402 are positioned opposite each other. The lower end of the partition 401 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 4012. There are three sets of connecting plates 4012. The outer side of the three sets of guide plates 408 is fixedly installed with a sleeve plate 4013 near the lower end of the seed potato box 301. Furthermore, after opening the box cover 302, the seed potatoes are loaded into the seed potato box 301. Three sets of storage compartments 303 divide the seed potatoes into zones for storage, each corresponding to multiple subsequent material guiding and discharging structures. This adapts to the needs of multi-row planting while avoiding seed potato mixing and congestion, achieving distributed material supply and preparing for multi-row planting. The seed potatoes in the storage compartments 303 fall by gravity and pass through the second guide trough 405, which corresponds to the discharge port of the storage compartment 303, into the second fixed seat 404. The integrated structure of the first fixed seat 403 and the second fixed seat 404 ensures a stable seed potato conveying path. At this time, the cylinder 409 drives the pusher plate 4010 to move, pushing the seed potatoes in the second fixed seat 404 into the third guide trough 4011, then into the first guide trough 402, and finally into the first guide plate 408. Therefore, by controlling the cylinder 409... With its extended frequency, the pusher plate 4010 can quantitatively and timedly push seed potatoes, precisely matching the operating rhythm of the discharge component 5, achieving uniform seed potato delivery and avoiding accumulation. Therefore, the guide trough 3 4011 connects the guide trough 2 405 and the guide trough 1 402, ensuring that the seed potatoes pushed by the pusher plate 4010 fall accurately into the guide trough 1 402, forming a continuous guide path. When the seed potatoes pass through the fixed seat 1 403, they will squeeze the moving plate 407. The elasticity of the spring 406 causes the moving plate 407 to vibrate, which in turn drives the inclined guide plate 1 408 to vibrate. This dual action assists in seed potato separation and avoids jamming. In summary, through the partitioned storage of the storage box 303, the multi-segment guidance of the guide structure, the quantitative pushing of the cylinder 409, and the auxiliary separation of the spring 406, the seed potatoes achieve continuous, uniform, and unblocked delivery from storage to discharge, providing a stable material guarantee for subsequent staggered seed potato distribution.
[0022] In the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the material discharge assembly 5 includes a second support plate 501, which is fixedly installed inside the second fixed plate 105. Support columns 502 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the second support plate 501. Positioning plates 503 are fixedly installed on one side of the two support columns 502. Fixing plates 504 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the positioning plates 503. A guide plate 505 is fixedly connected between the two fixing plates 504. The guide plate 505 is provided with three sets. A connecting rod 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning plate 503. Three connecting rods 506 are provided. Support plates 507 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the three connecting rods 506. Guide plows 508 are fixedly installed on both sides of the support plates 507. A guide ring 509 is fixedly installed in the middle between the two guide plows 508. A guide hopper 5010 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the guide plow 508 near the lower end of the inclined end of the guide plate 505. Furthermore, support plate 2 501 is fixed on fixed plate 2 105, and the entire discharge assembly 5 is supported by pillar 502 to ensure structural stability. Pillar 502 is connected to positioning plate 503 to provide an installation reference for subsequent components. Positioning plate 503 positions guide plate 2 505, and fixed plate 3 504 fixes guide plate 2 505 to ensure precise alignment with upper guide plate 1 408, receiving the falling seed potatoes. The three sets of guide plates 2 505 are respectively aligned with the inclined ends of upper guide plate 1 408 to receive the seed potatoes conveyed by the guide assembly 4, and guide the seed potatoes downwards using their own inclined angle. The square feed hopper 5010 gathers the scattered seed potatoes and feeds them into the feed ring 509 through the funnel structure, ensuring that the seed potatoes fall vertically. The feed ring 509 guides the seed potatoes into the planting furrows opened by the plowing component 2. The feed plows 508 on both sides simultaneously comb the soil on the furrow walls to prevent the seed potatoes from being buried by the soil or deviating from the center of the furrow, ensuring accurate placement. Therefore, the three sets of discharge components 5 correspond to the three sets of storage boxes 303 and the feed components 4. Through the preset spacing, the seed potatoes discharged by each feed ring 509 are staggered in adjacent planting furrows, ultimately achieving precise staggered planting of potatoes.
