The valve plate (2) is rotatably connected via a rotating pin located in the middle of the bottom surface of the seed box (1). The rotation of the valve plate is used to open or close the opening of the seed box.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the protective shell (4) is equipped with the inner seed storage disc (3), the seed disc (5) and the seed guide tube disc (6); the inner seed storage disc (3) forms the seed temporary storage space (12) through the spring sheet assembly (13) for storing seeds from the seed box; the spring sheet assembly (13) includes an inner support frame (15), a rotating shaft pin (14) and an outer support frame (17); the rotating shaft pin (14) connects the inner support frame (15) and the support wheel (7) through a rotating pair.
