Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an air-blowing precision seeder and method, belonging to the field of agricultural seeding machinery technology. Background Technology

[0002] A seeder is a planting machine that sows crop seeds. It is used for a specific type or type of crop and is often named after the crop variety, such as a corn seeder, cotton seeder, or hay spreader. However, the optimal sowing speed for seeders is currently 6 to 8 kilometers per hour. Increasing the sowing speed in traditional finger-mounted or air-suction seeders results in corn seeds falling slowly from the seed pipe to the ground, and the seeds bounce after landing, leading to uneven plant spacing and inaccurate row spacing.

[0003] Air-blowing precision high-speed seeders use compressed air to suck seeds into the suction holes of a rotating seed disc and transport them to the seed tube for sowing. They offer advantages such as high efficiency and high sowing precision, processing a large number of seeds per hour and saving labor and time costs. Existing air-blowing precision high-speed seeders have the following structure: the rotating seed disc of the air-blowing precision seeder is rotatably connected to the high-pressure side housing. The gap between the high-pressure side housing and the rotating seed disc forms an annular air pressure leakage gap. A high-pressure holding structure prevents gas leakage from the annular air pressure leakage gap, allowing high-pressure air entering the high-pressure air chamber to exit through the suction holes, forming a working airflow. This causes the suction holes on the high-pressure air chamber side to exert an adsorption force on the seeds, transporting the adsorbed seeds to the seed tube through the rotation of the seed disc for sowing. For example, patent CN114287210B discloses a precision corn seeder. However, the seed distribution structure of existing air-blowing precision high-speed seeders is unreasonable. During high-speed sowing, the seeds fall a long distance from the seed tube to the ground at a slow speed, resulting in uneven plant spacing and inaccurate row spacing. The mismatch between the sowing guide tube and the seed pressing wheel, causing the seeds to bounce after landing, is also one of the main reasons for the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air-blown precision seeder and method that reduces the distance from the sowing bend to the ground, increases the falling speed of seeds from the sowing bend to the ground, and ensures uniform plant spacing and accurate row spacing. At the same time, the outer ring of the seed pressing wheel is arranged tangentially to the sowing bend, so that the ejected seeds can be immediately compacted by the seed pressing wheel, preventing the seeds from bouncing when they fall to the ground, thus solving the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is: An air-blown precision seeder includes an air-blown seed metering device, a seed box, a furrowing plow, a depth limiting wheel, a seed pressing wheel, and a press wheel mounted on the seeder's crossbeam. The furrowing plow, depth limiting wheel, seed pressing wheel, and press wheel are arranged sequentially below the seeder's crossbeam along the forward direction. The bottom of the seed box is connected to the air-blown seed metering device, which is connected to a sowing bend via a sowing connecting pipe. The sowing bend bends backward in the forward direction, and its outlet ray is tangent to the seed pressing wheel. The outlet of the sowing bend is close to the seed pressing wheel and close to the ground.

[0006] The air-blowing seed metering device includes an air-blowing seed metering device housing, and the air inlet of the air-blowing seed metering device housing is connected to the air blower assembly.

[0007] The air-blowing seed metering device has an air distribution plate at the air inlet inside its housing. A drive shaft is located in the middle of the housing, and a seed tray fixing seat is located at the threaded end of the drive shaft. A seed tray is fixedly fitted onto the seed tray fixing seat. The seed tray has guide holes evenly distributed around its circumference. An adjusting handle is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the housing corresponding to the air inlet via a rotating shaft. An adjusting shaft is movably fitted onto the adjusting handle at a location inside the housing corresponding to the adjusting shaft. An adjusting arc-shaped frame is slidably engaged inside the housing corresponding to one side of the adjusting shaft. The bottom of the adjusting arc-shaped frame is movably fitted onto the air-blowing seed metering device. On the raised platform inside the outer shell of the device, seed-shaving wheels are evenly distributed on the outer side of the adjusting arc frame.

The upper part is equipped with a closed air wheel that rotates through the closed air wheel shaft at the top position of the sowing inner tube. The lower part is equipped with a seed cleaning wheel that rotates through the seed cleaning wheel seat.

[0008] The exhaust cover slot is connected to the inner cavity of the air-blowing seed metering device. The top side of the seeding inner tube slides against the side of the seed tray. The outer side of the air-sealing wheel rotates against the back of the seed tray. The outer diameter end of the seed cleaning wheel is provided with a protruding cone that completely passes through the seed guide hole on the corresponding seed tray. The protruding cone at the outer diameter end of the seed cleaning wheel meshes with the seed guide hole of the seed tray and rotates. Three seed-shaving wheels are evenly distributed on the outer side of the adjusting arc frame. The end face of the seed-shaving wheel rotates against the seed guide hole of the seed tray.

[0009] A valve plate base is fixedly installed inside the housing of the air-blowing seed meter. A valve plate is provided on the upper layer of the valve plate base. The upper end of the valve plate passes through a round hole opened on the outside of the air-blowing seed meter and is sealed by a valve plate sealing seat. An arc handle is provided on the upper end of the valve plate for easy pulling. An air distribution plate is provided at the air inlet inside the air-blowing seed meter and the upper layer of the valve plate. A valve plate pressure plate is provided at the lower end of the valve plate.

[0010] The bottom of the air-blown seed metering device housing is provided with a slag discharge sealing plate, and the bottom of the air-blown seed metering device housing is also provided with a fixing seat.

[0011] A mounting bracket is fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the seeder beam, corresponding to the bottom position of the air conveying pipe. One side of the mounting bracket is movably mounted to one end of a four-bar linkage adjustment mechanism via a connecting bolt. A single-unit frame is movably mounted to the other end of the four-bar linkage adjustment mechanism via a connecting bolt. Connecting swing arms are movably mounted on both sides of the single-unit frame via bolts. The ends of the connecting swing arms are rotatably connected to a depth-limiting wheel via bolts. The inner side of the depth-limiting wheel is rotatably connected to a seeding tray at the position corresponding to the outer side of the sowing bend. Two symmetrical seed box frames are symmetrically mounted on the upper end of the single-unit frame via bolts. Seed boxes are fixedly mounted on the inner side of the seed box frames via bolts. An air-blowing seed metering device is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the seed boxes via bolts. A press suspension is movably mounted on the rear end of the single-unit frame via a connecting bolt. A tension spring is snapped between the press suspension and the press suspension. The press suspension is internally mounted with a press wheel seat via bolts. Press wheels are rotatably mounted on both ends of the press wheel seat via bolts. The single frame is fixedly connected to the press suspension with a seed pressing wheel frame via bolts.

The middle hole of one end of the drive shaft is inserted into the drive shaft of the air-blown seed meterer. The other end of the drive shaft is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket via a shaft head bracket. The ground wheel frame, the plant spacing adjustment box, and the center hole of the other end of the drive shaft are connected on the same axis via a square shaft to transmit power.

[0012] A method for sowing using the aforementioned air-blowing precision seeder involves the following steps: seeds in the seed box are ejected through the air-blowing seed metering device, a seeding connecting pipe, and a seeding bend. The exit ray of the seeding bend is tangent to the seed pressing wheel, ensuring that the seeds ejected from the exit of the seeding bend are immediately compacted by the seed pressing wheel, preventing them from bouncing off the ground. The exit of the seeding bend is close to the seed pressing wheel and the ground, reducing the distance between the seeding bend and the ground, increasing the falling speed of the seeds from the seeding bend to the ground, and ensuring uniform plant spacing and accurate row spacing.

[0013] During seed transportation, the transport status of the seeds is regulated by a closed-loop wheel, a seed cleaning wheel, and a seed shaving wheel. The seed shaving wheel adjusts the number of seeds adsorbed in the seed tray guide holes to ensure that there is only one seed in each seed tray guide hole. The closed-loop wheel adjusts the ventilation volume of the seed tray guide holes to prevent intact seeds from being blown onto the seed tray and to ensure that the seeds are smoothly blown into the sowing connecting pipe. The seed cleaning wheel pushes out any remaining broken seeds in the seed tray guide holes to ensure smooth seed circulation and transportation.

[0014] The seeds are corn seeds.

[0015] This invention optimizes the seed transport process through the coordinated operation of the air blower assembly and the internal components of the air-blown seed metering device. The blower assembly, horizontal air duct, and flexible air guide create a continuous high-speed airflow within the device. This high-speed airflow, in conjunction with the seed tray and side-mounted components, transports the seeds to be sown through the inner sowing tube, connecting tube, and curved tube, sequentially planting them into the field. Simultaneously, a seed compaction wheel compacts the seeds, ensuring precise seed-to-plant spacing. The high-speed airflow propels the seeds through the connecting tube and curved tube at extremely high speeds, maintaining seed-to-plant spacing accuracy even at high seeder speeds. Furthermore, the outer ring of the seed compaction wheel is tangential to the curved tube, ensuring that the seeds ejected from the curved tube are immediately compacted, preventing them from bouncing off the ground.

[0016] The rate at which seeds are added inside the seed box is adjusted by pulling the valve plate to ensure that the number of seeds inside the air-blowing seed meterer is always within a reasonable range. Then, the position of the seed-shaving wheel installed on the adjusting arc frame is adjusted by adjusting the handle to ensure that the positional relationship between the seed-shaving wheel and the seed guide edge hole of the seed tray can reach the target position, so that only one seed is blown into the seed guide edge hole of the seed tray when sowing, thereby improving the seed utilization rate.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are: reducing the distance from the sowing bend to the ground, increasing the falling speed of the seeds from the sowing bend to the ground, ensuring uniform plant spacing and accurate row spacing; at the same time, the outer ring of the seed pressing wheel is arranged tangentially to the sowing bend, so that the ejected seeds can be immediately compacted by the seed pressing wheel, preventing the seeds from bouncing when they fall to the ground.

The ground wheel frame, the plant spacing adjustment box 203 and the center hole of the other end of the drive shaft 205 are on the same axis and connected by a square shaft 204 to transmit power.

[0027] A method for sowing using the aforementioned air-blowing precision seeder involves the seeds in the seed box being ejected through the air-blowing seed metering device 2 via the sowing connecting pipe 106 and the sowing bend 312. The exit ray of the sowing bend 312 is tangent to the seed pressing wheel 307, ensuring that the seeds ejected from the exit of the sowing bend 312 are immediately compacted by the seed pressing wheel, preventing the seeds from bouncing off the ground. The exit of the sowing bend 312 is close to the seed pressing wheel 307 and close to the ground, reducing the distance between the sowing bend and the ground, increasing the falling speed of the seeds from the sowing bend to the ground, and ensuring uniform plant spacing and accurate row spacing.

[0028] During seed transportation, the transport status of the seeds is regulated by the air-sealing wheel 120, the seed cleaning wheel 123, and the seed-shaving wheel 130. The seed-shaving wheel 130 adjusts the number of seeds adsorbed by the seed guide holes 317 of the seed tray to ensure that there is only one seed in each seed tray guide hole 317. The air-sealing wheel 120 adjusts the ventilation of the seed guide holes 317 of the seed tray to prevent intact seeds from being blown onto the seed tray and to ensure that the seeds are smoothly blown into the sowing connecting pipe 106. The seed cleaning wheel 123 pushes out any remaining broken seeds in the seed guide holes 317 of the seed tray to ensure the smooth circulation and transportation of the seeds.

[0029] In this embodiment, the seed is corn seed 319.

[0030] This invention optimizes the seed transport process through the cooperation between the air blower assembly and the internal components of the air-blowing seed metering device. The air blower assembly, the horizontal air duct 102, and the flexible air duct 103 work together to generate a continuous high-speed airflow within the air-blowing seed metering device. This high-speed airflow, in conjunction with the seed tray 114 and the various components mounted on its side, transports the seeds to be sown through the inner sowing tube 127, the sowing connecting tube 106, and the sowing bend 312, sequentially planting them into the field. Simultaneously, the seed pressing wheel 307 compacts the seeds, ensuring precise seed-to-plant spacing. The high-speed airflow propels the seeds through the sowing connecting tube 106 and the sowing bend 312 at extremely high speeds, ensuring that even at high seeder speeds, the seed-to-plant spacing accuracy remains unaffected. Furthermore, the outer ring of the seed pressing wheel 307 is tangent to the sowing bend 312, ensuring that the seeds ejected from the sowing bend are immediately compacted by the seed pressing wheel, preventing them from bouncing off the ground.

[0031] The seed addition rate inside the seed box 104 is adjusted by pulling the valve plate 108 to ensure that the seeds inside the air-blowing seed metering device are always kept within a reasonable quantity range. Then, the position of the seed-shaving wheel 130 installed on the adjusting arc frame 129 is adjusted by adjusting the handle 110 to ensure that the positional relationship between the seed-shaving wheel 130 and the seed guide edge hole of the seed tray can reach the target position, so that only one seed is blown into the seed guide edge hole of the seed tray when sowing, thereby improving the seed utilization rate.

[0032] This invention optimizes the travel adjustment process of the seeder through the coordination of the components within the four-bar linkage adjustment mechanism 3. The interaction between the parallel linkage 302, the single frame 304, and the ground pressure spring 303 reduces the vibration amplitude of the seeder's sowing components during travel, allowing the seeder components to smoothly adapt to the terrain. This effectively improves the working environment of the internal parts of the seeder components and extends the seeder's service life. The coordination between the depth limiting wheel 306 and the press wheel 310 ensures that seeds are planted at an appropriate depth. Simultaneously, the coordination between the seed pressing wheel 308 and the sowing bend 312 ensures that the seeds ejected at high speed from the sowing bend are compacted to ensure accurate plant spacing, and the press wheel covers and compacts the sown seeds.

[0033] After the air blower assembly 1 is started, the high-speed airflow discharged by the air blower enters the air blower seed meter 2 after passing through the air delivery horizontal pipe, the air guide hose and the seed meter inlet; when there are no seeds in the air blower seed meter 2, the high-speed airflow is discharged through the seed guide side hole 317 of the seed tray 114 and the sowing connection pipe 106. When the valve plate 108 is opened, the seeds enter the air-blowing seed metering device 2. The seeds are blown by the high-speed airflow into the seed guide holes 317 of the seed tray. Due to the large blowing force of the high-speed airflow, several seeds will be blown into a single hole of the seed guide hole 317 of the seed tray. When the seeds adsorbed by the seed guide holes 317 of the seed tray rotate to the position of the seed shaving wheel, the seed shaving wheel covers part of the seed guide holes 317 of the seed tray because its end face is in contact with the inner end face of the seed tray. The outer diameter end of the seed shaving wheel covers part of the seed guide holes 317 of the seed tray. The extra seeds blown into the seed guide holes 317 of the seed tray will be shaved off by the seed shaving wheel 130. After passing through three seed shaving wheels, only one seed is blown into each hole of the seed guide hole 317 of the seed tray. When the seeds blown into the seed guide hole 317 of the seed tray are transferred to the inner sowing tube, the air-closing wheel 120, which is located on the outside of the seed tray corresponding to the position of the inner sowing tube 127, blocks the seed guide hole 317. The airflow cannot pass through, and the seeds will fall out in the seed guide hole. At this time, under the action of gravity and high-speed airflow, the seeds fall smoothly into the inner sowing tube to complete the seeding operation. If the seeds blown into the seed guide edge hole 317 of the seed tray are defective seeds, when the defective seeds blown into the seed guide edge hole of the seed tray rotate through the inner sowing tube, because the size of the defective seeds is smaller than the gap between the seed guide edge hole 317 and the inner sowing tube, they cannot enter the inner sowing tube and will still be blown into the seed guide edge hole 317. When the seed tray continues to rotate and reaches the position of the seed cleaning wheel, the seed cleaning wheel has a raised cone 318 at its outer diameter end, and the raised cone completely penetrates the seed guide edge hole 317 of the seed tray. This can push out and clean the defective seeds blown into the seed guide edge hole 317. In this way, the seed guide edge hole of the seed tray will not be affected when blowing seeds again.
