Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically relating to a soybean and corn planter. Background Technology
[0002] A seeder is a planting machine that sows crop seeds. It is used for sowing a certain type or type of crop and is often named after the crop type, such as grain strip seeder, corn hill seeder, soybean seeder, and pasture broadcaster. It is mainly used for sowing small seeds such as grains and pasture.
[0003] Currently, most soybean or corn planting processes utilize seeders. However, existing seeders have fixed and non-adjustable spacing between their feed tubes. Different soybean and corn varieties have different requirements for plant spacing. This fixed-spacing design means that such seeders can only adapt to crops with specific plant spacing requirements. When planting soybean or corn varieties with different plant spacing requirements, the seeder cannot meet the actual needs, either resulting in insufficient growing space for the crops, affecting their normal growth and development, or wasting land resources and failing to achieve efficient land use. To address this issue, most current methods involve adjusting the spacing between the feed tubes using fixed hole spacing and bolt connections. While this allows for adjustment, the spacing can only be adjusted within a preset hole spacing, preventing precise adjustment and limiting the accuracy of the seeder in meeting the spacing requirements of different crops. Therefore, overcoming these technical problems and shortcomings is a key issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitations of existing planters in the prior art, where the spacing between the feed pipes is fixed and cannot be adjusted. During planting, different varieties of soybeans and corn have different requirements for plant spacing. The fixed-spacing feed pipe design means that this type of planter can only adapt to crops with specific plant spacing requirements. When planting soybean or corn varieties with different plant spacing requirements, this planter cannot meet the actual needs, either resulting in insufficient growing space for the crops, affecting their normal growth and development, or causing a waste of land resources and failing to achieve efficient land use. Therefore, this invention aims to provide a soybean and corn planter.

[0021] This embodiment discloses a soybean and corn planter. Through the ingenious design of the feeding hopper 4, receiving hopper 5, telescopic hose 6, sliding block 7, second mounting frame 12, rotating shaft 17, drive mechanism 9, eccentric wheel 13, drive rod 14, and connector 16, the spacing between the feeding pipes 8 can be adjusted to meet the plant spacing requirements of soybeans or corn, creating suitable spatial conditions for their growth. It also allows for intercropping of soybeans and corn, effectively improving the planter's versatility. (Refer to...) Figures 1-7 It mainly includes a traction frame 1, a rectangular rod 101, and traveling wheels 2. The rectangular rod 101 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the traction frame 1, and the traveling wheels 2 are rotatably installed at both ends of the front side of the traction frame 1. The characteristic is that a seed hopper 3 is fixedly installed at the upper rear side of the traction frame 1, and a plurality of feeding hoppers 4 are evenly spaced at the lower end of the seed hopper 3. Each feeding hopper 4 has a receiving hopper 5 detachably installed at the lower end, and each receiving hopper 5 is connected to a telescopic hose 6 (the telescopic hose 6 is a flexible hose that can be extended or retracted). A plurality of sliding blocks 7 are slidably mounted on the rectangular rod 101. A feeding pipe 8 is fixedly mounted on each sliding block 7, and the lower end of the telescopic hose 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding pipe 8. A plurality of second mounting brackets 12 are fixedly mounted at even intervals on the traction frame 1. A rotating shaft 17 is rotatably mounted on each second mounting bracket 12. A plurality of driving mechanisms 9 are evenly mounted at even intervals on the traction frame 1. The driving mechanism 9 is used to drive the corresponding rotating shaft 17. An eccentric wheel 13 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 17. A driving rod 14 is rotatably mounted on the eccentric wheel 13. The end of the driving rod 14 away from the eccentric wheel 13 is connected to a connector 16 through an adjusting component 15. The connector 16 is rotatably connected to the sliding block 7. Through the ingenious design of the adjustment component 15, the sowing spacing can be precisely adjusted to meet the strict requirements of soybeans or corn for plant spacing and row spacing, ensuring reasonable growth space for soybeans or corn, and improving land utilization and crop yield.
[0022] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each of the feeding hoppers 4 has four insertion holes at the lower end, and each of the receiving hoppers 5 has four upper end connected to L-shaped threaded shafts that can be inserted into the insertion holes via threaded holes. The design of the insertion holes and L-shaped threaded shafts facilitates the disassembly of the receiving hoppers 5, thereby facilitating the periodic maintenance or replacement of the receiving hoppers 5.
[0023] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The drive mechanism 9 includes a first mounting frame 901 fixedly mounted on the traction frame 1 and a drive motor 902 fixedly mounted on the first mounting frame 901. A worm gear 903 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 902, and a worm wheel 904 meshing with the worm gear 903 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 17. In practical use, the drive motor 902 is controlled, which drives the worm 903 to rotate. The worm 903 meshes with the worm wheel 904, causing the worm wheel 904 to rotate. The worm wheel 904 drives the rotating shaft 17 to rotate.
[0024] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-7 The adjusting assembly 15 includes a threaded rod 1501 and a threaded cylinder 1502. The threaded rod 1501 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 14, and the threaded cylinder 1502 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 1501. The threaded cylinder 1502 is rotatably connected to the connector 16. In practical use, rotating the threaded cylinder 1502, in conjunction with the threaded rod 1501, causes the threaded cylinder 1502 to rotate and move, which in turn drives the connector 16 to move. This allows for precise adjustment of the sliding block 7, thereby meeting the strict requirements of soybeans or corn for plant spacing and row spacing, ensuring reasonable growth space for soybeans or corn, and improving land utilization and crop yield.
[0025] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The threaded cylinder 1502 is fixedly connected to a circular plate 1503 at one end away from the drive rod 14. The connector 16 has a mounting hole 1601 that matches the circular plate 1503. A retaining ring 1504 that prevents the circular plate 1503 from slipping out is fixedly installed in the mounting hole 1601. Through the cooperative design of the circular plate 1503, the mounting hole 1601 and the retaining ring 1504, the threaded cylinder 1502 can rotate in the connector 16, and the position of the connector 16 can be adjusted as needed, effectively avoiding the problem of interference when the threaded cylinder 1502 rotates.
[0026] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 7 The distance between the inside of the mounting hole 1601 and the retaining ring 1504 is equal to the thickness of the circular plate 1503; this can limit the adjustment of the connector 16, preventing the adjustment of the connector 16 from moving arbitrarily, thereby further improving the adjustment accuracy.
[0027] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-6 Several handles are evenly fixedly installed along the circumference at one end of the threaded cylinder 1502 near the drive rod 14; the handles facilitate the rotation of the threaded cylinder 1502.
[0028] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A guide rail 10 is fixedly installed on the traction frame 1, and a plurality of movable blocks 11 are slidably installed on the guide rail 10. The movable blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the corresponding sliding blocks 7. Through the cooperative design of the guide rail 10 and the movable blocks 11, precise guidance can be provided for the sliding blocks 7, effectively avoiding the situation where the sliding blocks 7 get stuck during movement.
[0029] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each of the feeding pipes 8 is fixedly equipped with a furrow opener 801 at its lower end for furrowing the land; the furrow opener 801 facilitates the sowing of corn or soybeans.
[0030] In this embodiment, the rectangular rod 101 is provided with a scale, which greatly facilitates the adjustment of the sowing spacing. Operators can precisely adjust the distance between adjacent feed pipes 8 by sliding the sliding block 7 and referring to the scale, according to the planting requirements of different crops, thereby achieving flexible control of the sowing spacing. This easily meets the planting needs of both soybeans and corn, improving the versatility and applicability of the seeder.
[0031] The working principle of a soybean and corn planter of the present invention is as follows: First, the traction frame 1 is fixedly connected to the tractor. Corn or soybeans are placed into the seed hopper 3. Then, the tractor pulls the traction frame 1, and the planter moves through the walking wheels 2. During the movement, the corn or soybeans in the seed hopper 3 flow from the discharge hopper 4 to the receiving hopper 5. The corn or soybeans in the receiving hopper 5 flow from the telescopic hose 6 to the discharge pipe 8, thereby sowing the corn or soybeans. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the feed pipes 8, the drive motor 902 is controlled, which drives the worm 903 to rotate. The worm 903 meshes with the worm wheel 904, causing the worm wheel 904 to rotate. The worm wheel 904 drives the rotating shaft 17 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 17 drives the eccentric wheel 13 to rotate. With the cooperation of the drive rod 14, the adjusting component 15, and the connector 16, the sliding block 7 slides on the rectangular rod 101. The sliding block 7 drives the feed pipes 8 to move, which can adjust the spacing between adjacent feed pipes 8, thereby meeting the plant spacing requirements of soybeans or corn and creating suitable spatial conditions for the growth of soybeans or corn. At the same time, it can also be used for intercropping soybeans and corn, thus effectively improving the practicality of the seeder.
