Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment, in particular to a precision seed metering device with a buckling and tightening function and a seeding machine with the same. Background Art

[0002] my country is a major agricultural country, with a wide variety of seed drills. Seeder mechanisms are largely similar, with most adopting finger-type and air-suction types. Seeding seeds such as soybeans and corn requires precision. A well-designed seed drill can increase seeding speed, reduce missed and reseeded rates, and minimize the coefficient of variation.

[0003] The seeding device is not designed to plant a single seed. Depending on the user's sowing scenario and crop type, the seeding device needs to be frequently opened and closed, the seed tray needs to be replaced, and the seeds need to be cleaned. Currently, traditional seeding devices all use conventional opening and closing springs as the structure between the two shells. Usually, there is one opening and closing spring on each side of the seeding device shell (some may have multiple opening and closing springs). This can easily cause debris to accumulate in the seeding device, resulting in the front and rear shells of the seeding device not closing tightly (this situation is more serious near the seed drop port), causing the seeding device to malfunction.

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to develop a precision seed metering device with a snap-on and tightening function to overcome the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a precision seed metering device with a buckling and tightening function and a seeder with the same, which effectively overcomes the defects of the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0007] A precision seed metering device with a snap-fitting and tightening function comprises a front shell and a rear shell, wherein the rear shell is arranged at the rear end of the front shell and fits together to form a seeding cavity. The edges of the front shell and the rear shell are connected by a plurality of opening and closing structures distributed at intervals so that the two shells are combined. A seeding box connected to the seeding cavity is integrally provided at one end of the front shell facing away from the rear shell, a seeding port connected to the seeding cavity is provided at the lower part of one side of the front shell, and an air pipe connected to the seeding cavity is integrally provided on the rear shell. The portions of the edges of the front shell and the rear shell where no opening and closing structures are provided are snapped together by a snap-fitting structure.

[0008] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, the buckle structure is arranged at a position near the seed drop port at the lower portion of the edge of the front shell and the rear shell.

[0010] Furthermore, an ear plate is provided at the lower portion of the rear shell, and the buckle structure is provided on the ear plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the above-mentioned snap-fit structure includes a main body integrally formed with the above-mentioned ear plate and vertically arranged, and a wedge-shaped hook is provided at one end of the above-mentioned main body away from the above-mentioned ear plate, and the above-mentioned hook is hooked on the front side of the lower edge of the above-mentioned front shell.

[0012] Furthermore, a slag discharge window communicating with the seeding cavity is provided at a position corresponding to the above-mentioned snap structure at the rear lower portion of the above-mentioned rear shell. The above-mentioned slag discharge window is located in the middle area of the lower portion of the above-mentioned rear shell or near the middle area.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a second buckle, which is detachably mounted on the front side of the ear plate and buckled on the lower edge of the front shell.

[0014] Furthermore, the second clip is a "Z"-shaped part, one end of the second clip is attached to the front side of the ear plate and is detachably connected to the ear plate, and the other end of the second clip is buckled at the lower edge of the front shell.

[0015] Furthermore, a screw hole is provided on the rear side of the ear plate, and one end of the second clip is threadedly connected to the screw hole on the ear plate through a bolt passing through the second clip.

[0016] Furthermore, the second buckle is an elastic metal piece.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are: the structural design is simple and reasonable, and the buckle structure can play a restraining role after the shell is closed, preventing the front shell and the rear shell of the seed metering device from opening and closing during operation, and avoiding seeds from being mixed in the gap between the shells.

[0029] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] Example: Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 3, the precision seed metering device with a snap-fitting and tightening function of this embodiment includes a front shell 1 and a rear shell 2. The rear shell 2 is arranged at the rear end of the front shell 1 and fits together to form a seeding cavity. The edges of the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 are connected by a plurality of opening and closing structures 3 distributed at intervals to make the two shells fit together. A seeding box 11 connected to the seeding cavity is integrally provided at one end of the front shell 1 away from the rear shell 2, and a seeding port 12 connected to the seeding cavity is provided at the lower part of one side of the front shell 1. An air pipe 21 connected to the seeding cavity is integrally provided on the rear shell 2. The portions of the edges of the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 where the opening and closing structures 3 are not provided are snapped together by a snap-fit structure 4.

[0031] The main components of the precision seed metering device with a snap-fitting and tightening function of this embodiment are conventional technologies (i.e., prior art) in existing seed metering devices. The main design feature is the design in which the front shell 1 and rear shell 2 are further snapped together by a snap-fit structure 4 after they are closed. After the two shells are closed, the snap-fit structure 4 is simultaneously set in a position where the opening and closing structure 3 is not provided (mainly near the seed drop port 12), and the two shells are more tightly fastened together, making the two shells close together more tightly. The overall structural design is simple and reasonable. The snap-fit structure design can play a restraining role after the shells are closed, preventing the front and rear shells of the seed metering device from opening and closing during operation, and preventing seeds from being trapped in the gap between the shells.

[0032] It should be noted that the opening and closing structure 3 involved in this embodiment generally adopts a conventional opening and closing elastic wire, which belongs to the existing technology (a structure similar to a latch, which locks the two to close the shell), and is generally arranged on both sides of the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2. Multiple ones can also be designed as needed and distributed at intervals.

[0033] In this embodiment, it is best that the buckle structure 4 is arranged at the lower part of the edge of the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 near the seed drop opening 12. In this way, the problem of loose shells near the seed drop opening 12 will not occur.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a lug plate 22 is provided at the lower portion of the rear shell 2 , and the buckle structure 4 is provided on the lug plate 22 .

[0035] In the above embodiment, the design of the ear plate 22 facilitates the arrangement of the snap-fit structure 4 , and the ear plate 22 is manufactured by a process of integrally forming the ear plate 2 with the rear housing 2 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 are generally integrally formed by injection molding of plastic. The ear plate 22 and the rear shell 2 are also integrally formed by injection molding.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned snap-fit structure 4 includes a main body 41 integrally formed with the above-mentioned ear plate 22 and vertically arranged. A wedge-shaped hook portion 42 is provided at one end of the above-mentioned main body 41 away from the above-mentioned ear plate 22, and the above-mentioned hook portion 42 is hooked on the front side of the lower edge of the above-mentioned front shell 1.

[0038] In the above embodiment, when the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 are combined, the hook portion 42 hooks the front side of the front shell 1 and “hooks and pulls” the edge of the front shell 1 backward, thereby tightly combining the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 7 、 8 As shown, a slag discharge window 23 communicating with the sowing cavity is provided at the lower rear portion of the rear shell 2 corresponding to the snap structure 4 . The slag discharge window 23 is located in the lower middle area of the rear shell 2 or near the middle area.

[0040] In the above embodiment, since the slag discharge window 23 is located at the bottom of the seed meter, under the influence of gravity, debris (such as weeds, broken seeds, soil, stones, etc.) is easily accumulated in the middle area and vicinity of the bottom of the seed meter, that is, the area where the slag discharge window 23 is located is prone to accumulation of debris. Therefore, without the design of this slag discharge window 23, the debris cannot be discharged. The addition of the slag discharge window 23 can facilitate the discharge of debris. This improves the problem that the traditional seed meter has no debris discharge port, and the debris is easily stored in the seed meter, resulting in the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 of the seed meter not closing tightly, causing the seed meter to malfunction.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 、 5 As shown, it also includes a second buckle 5, which is detachably mounted on the front side of the ear plate 22 and buckled on the lower edge of the front shell 1.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the main function of the second clip 5 is to further enhance the tightness of the housing after the snap structure 4 is added. On the other hand, because the snap structure 4 is an integrally injection-molded structure with the back cover 2 (using plastic material), the snap structure 4 may break after repeated or prolonged use. Therefore, the configuration of the second clip 5 can prevent the problem of loose housing after the snap structure 4 breaks, thus adding a "safety" to prevent the problem.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the second clip 5 is a "Z"-shaped part, one end of the second clip 5 is attached to the front side of the ear plate 22 and is detachably connected to the ear plate 22, and the other end of the second clip 5 is fastened to the lower edge of the front shell 1.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the second buckle 5 is designed to be "Z"-shaped, which is adapted to the shapes of the corresponding parts of the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2, making it easy to install and the buckle is tighter.

[0045] In this embodiment, a screw hole is provided on the rear side of the ear plate 22, and one end of the second clip 5 is threadedly connected to the screw hole on the ear plate 22 via a bolt passing through the second clip 5. This facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the second clip 5 as a whole.

[0046] In this embodiment, the second clip 5 is a resilient metal component. The metal clip is formed from sheet metal, has a thickness of 1.5 mm, and is simple to form. Harder metal materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel can be used to provide better support. Typically, the second clip 5 is secured to the planter support frame together with the rear housing 2 via bolts.
