Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural equipment, specifically a corn planting machine. Background Technology
[0002] In modern large-scale corn planting and field production, traditional corn planting methods suffer from low efficiency, poor accuracy in plant spacing and depth, high labor costs, and low corn seedling survival rates. Furthermore, they are ill-suited to complex field terrains such as hills and slopes, and cannot achieve continuous, automated sowing operations. This invention utilizes automated transmission technology and a collaborative operation system to automate the entire process, including ditching, quantitative seed collection and planting, root soil covering and compaction, and simultaneous water and fertilizer application. Through the coordinated operation of various mechanisms, it improves corn planting accuracy and efficiency, reduces manual intervention and labor intensity, while ensuring the stability of corn seeds after transplanting, effectively increasing corn seedling survival rates. This meets the needs of large-scale corn planting and field grain production, promoting the automation development of agricultural planting. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corn planting machine that automatically performs ditching, seed collection and planting, soil covering and compaction, and sowing simultaneously, thus solving the shortcomings of existing corn planting operations, such as low efficiency, poor planting accuracy, high labor costs, and low corn seedling survival rate.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a corn planting machine, including a seed box, a push handle, a transmission gear, a press wheel, a pulley set, a furrow opener, and walking wheels.
[0005] This corn planting machine is characterized by comprising a seed box, a push handle, a transmission gear, a press wheel, a pulley assembly, a furrow opener, and traveling wheels. The seed box is located on top of the machine, and the push handle is located behind the seed box. The traveling wheels are connected to the transmission gear, and the transmission gear is connected to the pulley assembly. The furrow opener is located in front of the traveling wheels, and the press wheel is located behind the furrow opener. The pulley assembly is connected to the seed metering mechanism inside the seed box.
[0006] The seed box is located on top of the machine and is used to store corn seeds to be planted, providing a stable source of feed for the seed metering operation, and also serving as an installation adapter for the seed metering mechanism.
[0007] The push handle is located at the rear of the seed box and is used by the operator to hold it and control the machine's forward direction and operating speed, enabling flexible adjustments for field operations.
[0008] The walking wheels are supported at the bottom of the machine and move with the operator, providing the machine with walking power. At the same time, the walking power is transmitted to the transmission gears to provide power support for seeding operations.
[0009] The transmission gear is connected to the walking wheel, with one end receiving the power transmitted by the walking wheel and the other end connected to the pulley assembly. It is used to transmit the power of the walking wheel to the pulley assembly, thereby realizing the distribution and transmission of power.
[0010] The pulley assembly is connected to the transmission gear, and the other end is connected to the seed metering mechanism inside the seed box. It is used to transmit the power of the transmission gear to the seed metering mechanism inside the seed box, drive the seed metering operation, and ensure that the seed metering action is synchronized with the walking speed.
[0011] The furrow opener is located in front of the walking wheels and cuts into the soil as the machine moves, creating uniform planting furrows in the field to provide working space for corn seeds to take root and ensure that the seed planting depth meets the requirements.
[0012] The pressing wheel is located behind the furrow opener and works in coordination with the furrow opener and seed picking and discharging actions. After the corn seeds fall into the seed furrow, the covering soil is compacted in time to ensure close contact between the seeds and the soil and improve the stability of seedling emergence.
[0013] This invention moves the entire machine in the field by pushing the handle; the walking wheels move with the machine and transmit power to the transmission gears, which drive the pulley group to rotate, and the pulley group further drives the seed metering mechanism inside the seed box to complete the seed picking and metering; the furrow opener opens the seed furrow in front, and after the seeds fall into the seed furrow, the pressing wheel simultaneously completes the soil compaction; all components work together to complete the orderly operation of the entire corn planting process, and the planting machine ends its work after completing the planting operation in the designated area.

[0019] The following is a detailed description of a corn planting machine according to the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] The seed box 1 is used to store corn seeds to be planted, providing a stable source of material for the seed metering operation. At the same time, it serves as an installation adapter for the seed metering mechanism, ensuring that the seed metering mechanism can stably complete the seed picking and metering actions.
[0021] The hand-operated handle 2 is located behind the seed box 1 and is used by the operator to hold it and control the forward direction and operating speed of the machine, so as to achieve flexible field operation adjustments.
[0022] The walking wheels 7 are supported at the bottom of the machine and move with the operator, providing the machine with walking power. At the same time, the walking power is transmitted to the transmission gear 3, providing stable power support for seeding operations.
[0023] The transmission gear 3 is connected to the walking wheel 7. One end receives the power transmitted by the walking wheel 7, and the other end is connected to the pulley group 5. It is used to transmit the power of the walking wheel 7 to the pulley group 5, so as to realize the distribution and transmission of power.
[0024] The pulley group 5 is connected to the transmission gear 3, and the other end is connected to the seed metering mechanism inside the seed box 1. It is used to transmit the power of the transmission gear 3 to the seed metering mechanism inside the seed box 1 to drive the seed metering operation and ensure that the seed metering action is synchronized with the walking speed.
[0025] The furrow opener 6 is located in front of the walking wheels 7. As the machine moves, it cuts into the soil and opens up uniform planting furrows in the field, providing working space for corn seeds to take root and ensuring that the seed planting depth meets the requirements.
[0026] The press wheel 4 is located behind the furrow opener 6 and works in coordination with the furrow opener 6 and the seed picking and discharging action. After the corn seeds fall into the seed furrow, the covering soil is compacted in time to ensure close contact between the seeds and the soil and improve the stability of seedling emergence.
[0027] This invention uses a push handle 2 to move the entire machine in the field; the walking wheels 7 move with the machine and transmit power to the transmission gear 3, which drives the pulley group 5 to rotate. The pulley group 5 further drives the seed metering mechanism inside the seed box 1 to complete the seed picking and metering; the furrow opener 6 opens a seed furrow in front, and after the seeds fall into the furrow, the compaction wheel 4 simultaneously completes the soil compaction; all components work together to complete the orderly operation of the entire corn planting process, and the planting machine ends its work after completing the planting operation in the designated area.
