AI Technical Summary
Existing rice direct seeders with mechanical seed metering devices are prone to problems such as missed seeding, poor seed mobility, and susceptibility to damage by birds and rodents when operating at high speeds.
A rice seed metering device was designed, which adopts a pneumatic auxiliary mechanism. A controllable wind pressure system is introduced to assist the seeds in falling and directional discharge. Combined with a seed protection mechanism and a seed guide tube, a suitable micro-groove structure is formed to cover the seeds.
It significantly improves seed discharge efficiency and uniformity, reduces the missed sowing index and clogging probability, maintains seed integrity, and improves germination rate and sowing quality.
