Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of corn planting devices, in particular to a corn furrowing planter. Background Art

[0002] Corn is one of the world's most important food crops. The furrowing and sowing stages of its cultivation process play a crucial role in its growth, development, and yield. Furrowing provides suitable planting space for corn seeds, facilitating their rooting and nutrient and water absorption. Traditional corn planters have played a vital role in agricultural production. Furrows are created in the field using a fixed furrowing device, and then sowing is carried out manually or with a simple seeding device.

[0003] However, traditional corn furrow planters have significant flaws. When it comes to adjusting furrow spacing, most traditional planters use a fixed furrowing assembly, making it difficult to flexibly adjust furrow spacing based on different corn varieties, soil fertility, and planting plans. When it comes to seed drop control, traditional planters often lack precise seed drop speed adjustment mechanisms. They typically rely simply on gravity or relatively simple mechanical devices to control seed drop. They are unable to precisely control the seed drop volume and speed based on different planting density requirements, seed size, and shape, which can easily lead to uneven seed distribution.

[0033] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, the planting component 7 includes a cylindrical shell 10 fixed on the upper end surface of the mounting plate 5, the upper end of the cylindrical shell 10 is connected to a seed storage box 11, the lower end of the cylindrical shell 10 is connected to the pipe 8, and the interior of the cylindrical shell 10 is provided with a material control component 12 for adjusting the seed falling speed, the material control component 12 includes a rotating shaft 13 rotatably arranged inside the cylindrical shell 10, a plurality of dividing plates 14 are fixed on the rotating shaft 13, and a motor 15 for driving the rotating shaft 13 to rotate is fixed on the outer side of the cylindrical shell 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, the adjustment mechanism includes a plurality of positioning holes 16 provided on the mounting bracket 3, and also includes a threaded hole 17 provided at the sliding connection portion between the mounting plate 5 and the mounting bracket 3. Adjacent mounting plates 5 are fixed in the positioning holes 16 at different positions by bolts to adjust the spacing between the ditching components.

[0035] The working principle of the corn furrowing and planting machine of the present invention is as follows: the device utilizes a mobile chassis 1 as a support and mobile platform, and drives the crawler chassis to move through its internal built-in motor, so as to realize the movement of the entire machine in the corn planting field. The furrowing assembly 6 installed on the mounting plate 5 performs furrowing operations during the movement of the machine, and the planting assembly 7 is connected to the furrowing assembly 6, sowing seeds into the furrow while furrowing. Among them, the adjustment mechanism can adjust the spacing of the mounting plates 5, thereby changing the spacing of the furrowing assembly 6 to adapt to different planting needs; the material control assembly 12 can control the speed and quantity of seeds falling from the planting assembly 7 into the furrowing assembly 6. In addition, the electric push rod 4 can change the angle of the furrowing assembly 6 by controlling the rotation of the mounting bracket 3, thereby adjusting the furrowing depth to meet different soil conditions and corn planting requirements.

[0036] The working process of the corn furrowing planter of the utility model is as follows:

[0037] 1. Equipment preparation: Place corn seeds into the seed storage box 11, check the battery level of the battery box 2, and ensure that all components are properly connected and in their initial state.

[0038] 2. Adjust the furrow spacing: Loosen the bolts between the mounting plate 5 and the mounting bracket 3 according to the planting requirements, adjust the spacing of the furrowing components 6 by fixing the bolts of the adjacent mounting plates 5 into the positioning holes 16 at different positions of the mounting bracket 3, and then tighten the bolts.

[0039] 3. Seed dropping speed setting: Based on the planting density, seed characteristics, etc., start the motor 15 on the outer side of the cylindrical shell 10. The motor 15 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, so that the dividing plate 14 on the rotating shaft 13 rotates at a suitable speed, thereby controlling the speed at which the seeds fall from the seed storage box 11 through the cylindrical shell 10 into the pipe 8.

[0040] 4. Adjusting the trenching depth: According to the soil conditions and the corn planting depth requirements, start the electric push rod 4, which pushes or pulls the mounting bracket 3 to rotate around the hinge point with the mobile chassis 1, so that the angle of the trenching tip 9 at the bottom of the mounting plate 5 relative to the ground changes, thereby adjusting the trenching depth.

[0041] 5. Planting: Activate the built-in motor of mobile chassis 1, and the tracked chassis begins to move, driving the entire machine forward. At this point, trenching tips 9 at the bottom of mounting plate 5 penetrate the soil alongside pipe 8 as the machine advances, creating a trench. Simultaneously, seeds in planting assembly 7, after being regulated by seed control assembly 12, fall into pipe 8 of trenching assembly 6 and into the created trench, completing the trenching and sowing operations. During the planting process, parameters such as the speed of mobile chassis 1, seed drop rate, and trenching depth can be adjusted at any time to ensure optimal planting results.

The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention, without inventive design, a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
