[0031] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , a roller type seed metering device for sowing crop seeds (for example: pepper seeds or seeds of other crops), the roller type seed metering device includes a rotating shaft 1, a seed suction roller 2, and a seed metering mechanism 3, wherein:

[0032] One end of the rotating shaft 1 can be connected to a driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism can drive the rotating shaft 1 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0033] The seed suction roller 2 is installed on the rotating shaft 1. The rotating shaft 1 can penetrate into the interior of the seed suction roller 2 in a sealed manner. A negative pressure chamber 200 is provided inside the seed suction roller 2. Seed suction holes 201 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the seed suction roller 2. The number of the seed suction holes 201 is several, and the several seed suction holes 201 are arranged on the seed suction roller 2 in an array.

[0034] Through the negative pressure chamber 200, the seed suction holes 201 can be made to have the ability to adsorb pepper seeds. At this time, the rotating rotating shaft 1 can drive the seed suction roller 2 to rotate together. Thus, while the several seed suction holes 201 on the outer surface of the seed suction roller 2 rotate with the seed suction roller 2, they can adsorb the pepper seeds at the bottom of the seed suction roller 2.

[0035] The seed metering mechanism 3 is provided inside the seed suction roller 2 and is used to discharge the pepper seeds adsorbed on the surface of the seed suction roller 2 to complete seed metering.

[0036] The seed metering mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301 and a partition plate 302. Both the mounting frame 301 and the partition plate 302 are located inside the seed suction roller 2. The mounting frame 301 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 1, and the partition plate 302 is mounted at the bottom of the mounting frame 301. The bottom end surface of the partition plate 302 abuts against the inner wall of the seed suction roller 2. The length of the partition plate 302 is equal to the length of the inner cavity of the seed suction roller 2. The partition plate 302 is used to isolate some of the seed suction holes 201 from the negative pressure cavity 200 to generate an atmospheric pressure area 4 to complete seed metering.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotating seed suction roller 2 can automatically adsorb pepper seeds through the cooperation of the negative pressure cavity 200 and the seed suction holes 201. When the pepper seeds are adsorbed onto a number of seed suction holes 201, the rotating shaft 1 and the seed suction roller 2 rotate clockwise together. At this time, the position of the mounting frame 301 rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 1 remains relatively unchanged, and the inner wall of the rotating seed suction roller 2 can rotate relative to the partition plate 302. Thus, the partition plate 302 can isolate some of the seed suction holes 201 from the negative pressure cavity 200 to generate an atmospheric pressure area 4. Furthermore, the air pressure difference between the seed suction holes 201 at the position of the partition plate 302 and the negative pressure cavity 200 is zero, and the pepper seeds on the seed suction holes 201 at the position of the partition plate 302 fall into the seedling tray under the action of gravity, completing automatic seed metering. Compared with the current manual sowing, the sowing efficiency is improved, and the problems of high labor intensity and high labor cost in manual sowing are solved.

[0038] In a possible embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, in order to always maintain a negative pressure in the negative pressure cavity 200, a hollow ventilation channel 101 is provided inside the rotating shaft 1, and ventilation branches 102 are provided on the rotating shaft 1 and located in the negative pressure cavity 200. The number of ventilation branches 102 is several, and several ventilation branches 102 are arranged in an array on the rotating shaft 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, the ventilation channel 101 is connected to an external negative pressure fan through a pipeline, and the gas in the negative pressure cavity 200 can be evacuated along the ventilation branches 102 and the ventilation channel 101 to generate a negative pressure in the negative pressure cavity 200, thereby ensuring the seed suction of the seed suction holes 201 on the seed suction roller 2.

The top end of the connecting rod 305 is installed at the bottom end of the mounting block 303, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 305 is installed on the partition plate 302.

[0042] In this embodiment, through the cooperative installation of the mounting block 303, the bearing 304, and the connecting rod 305, the partition plate 302 can be rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 1, and the inner wall of the rotating seed suction roller 2 can rotate relative to the partition plate 302, thereby realizing the seed discharging of the pepper seeds at the bottom position of the partition plate 302.

[0043] In a possible embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, regarding the specific structure of the seed suction roller 2, the seed suction roller 2 includes an end cap one 5, a cylinder body 6, and an end cap two 7. The end cap one 5 is installed on one end of the cylinder body 6, the end cap two 7 is installed on the other end of the cylinder body 6, and both the end cap one 5 and the end cap two 7 are hermetically and fixedly installed at both ends of the cylinder body 6.

[0044] Regarding the sealing structure of the end cap one 5, the end cap two 7, and the cylinder body 6, specifically: a sealing ring one is provided at the outer edge of the end cap one 5, and the end cap one 5 is hermetically installed on one end of the cylinder body 6 through the sealing ring one. A sealing ring two is provided at the outer edge of the end cap two 7, and the end cap two 7 is hermetically installed on the other end of the cylinder body 6 through the sealing ring two. And two shoulder structures are provided at intervals on the rotating shaft 1, and both the end cap one 5 and the end cap two 7 are sleeved on the shoulder structures through the sealing ring components to ensure the sealing performance of the roller 2 installed on the rotating shaft 1 and guarantee the adsorption force of a plurality of seed suction holes 201.

[0045] In addition, one end of the seed suction roller 2 is installed on the rotating shaft 1 through a key connection. Specifically, the end cap two 7 is installed on the rotating shaft 1 through a key connection, that is, the key and the keyway are provided on the shoulder structure, thereby realizing the purpose of the seed suction roller 2 and the rotating shaft 1 rotating together.
