Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grassland seeding equipment, specifically a grass seed spreading device for grassland ecological restoration. Background Technology
[0002] Grassland ecological restoration measures include grazing bans and enclosure, no-till reseeding, soil loosening and fertilization, and rodent and insect pest control to promote grassland vegetation recovery. Among these, reseeding refers to sowing grass seeds on the grassland land to compensate for insufficient vegetation on the grassland itself, and reseeding grass seeds can effectively promote vegetation recovery.
[0003] Existing grass seed sowing equipment mostly uses ground-based devices such as plows and harrows to create furrows on the land and sow grass seeds into the furrows. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217037910U, entitled "A Grass Seed Spreading Device for Grassland Ecological Restoration," uses plows and harrows to create furrows for sowing. However, this existing technology has certain limitations. First, plowing and harrowing to create furrows on the ground can damage the original vegetation and even accelerate grassland desertification. Second, sowing with ground-based equipment is inefficient. Grasslands are vast, and the terrain is uneven, resulting in low efficiency and poor effectiveness for ground-based sowing equipment.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0027] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a grass seed sowing device for grassland ecological restoration, including a drone 2 and a storage tank 1, the storage tank 1 being detachably installed below the drone 2. The storage tank 1 contains numerous grass seeds, and a sowing component is provided on the storage tank 1.
[0028] The drone 2 includes, but is not limited to, DJI T100 series drones. Drone 2 is used to lift and carry the storage bin 1 at low altitude. The storage bin 1 is used to hold grass seeds. The seed-scattering component is used to scatter the grass seeds inside the storage bin 1. The storage bin 1 includes, but is not limited to, materials made of plastic.
[0029] The seed-spreading component includes a support plate 4, a servo motor 6, a rotating ring 9, and multiple blades 8. The support plate 4 is located at the lower end of the storage tank 1, and there is a gap between the upper surface of the support plate 4 and the lower edge of the storage tank 1. The servo motor 6 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the support plate 4, and the output shaft of the servo motor 6 passes through the support plate 4. The rotating ring 9 is fixedly installed on the end of the output shaft of the servo motor 6, and the rotating ring 9 is located above the support plate 4. The blades 8 are arranged in a circular array around the rotating ring 9, and the end of the blade 8 closest to the rotating ring 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 9.
[0030] The support plate 4 is installed (both fixedly and movably) at the lower end of the storage hopper 1. The support plate 4 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the storage hopper 1, and there is a certain gap between the upper surface of the support plate 4 and the lower edge of the storage hopper 1, which is the spreading gap. The grass seeds inside the storage hopper 1 are piled on the support plate 4. A servo motor 6 drives the rotating ring 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the individual blades 8 to rotate. As the blades 8 rotate above the support plate 4, they agitate the grass seeds, causing them to be scattered through the spreading gap.
[0031] Specifically, a fixed cover 7 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the shell of the drone 2. The storage tank 1 is composed of a tank body 101 and a feed pipe 102. The feed pipe 102 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the tank body 101 and the two are connected. The upper end of the feed pipe 102 is inserted into the fixed cover 7 and the two are threadedly connected.
[0032] The feed pipe 102 and the fixing cover 7 are detachably connected by threads. The feed pipe 102 is used to fill grass seeds into the barrel 101. The fixing cover 7 is used to fix the feed pipe 102, thereby fixing the storage barrel 1 and realizing the detachable installation of the storage barrel 1 on the drone 2.
[0033] Specifically, a support frame 3 is fixedly installed on the shell of the drone 2.
[0034] Among them, the support frame 3 is used to support the drone 2 so that the drone 2 can land.
[0035] In actual implementation, the controller on the drone 2 is electrically connected to the servo motor 6. The controller on the drone 2 controls the start and stop of the servo motor 6 and controls the speed of the servo motor 6. By controlling the speed of the servo motor 6, the amount of grass seeds scattered can be effectively controlled.
[0036] In use, grass seeds are filled into the container 101 through the feed pipe 102. The seeds are then piled on the support plate 4. Some seeds may roll out from the spreading gaps, but this does not affect the overall sowing effect. The feed pipe 102 is threadedly connected to the fixing cover 7. Then, the drone 2 is activated, lifting the storage container 1 and carrying it at low altitude. The servo motor 6 is activated, driving the rotating ring 9 to rotate. The rotating ring 9 drives each blade 8 to rotate, and as the blades 8 rotate above the support plate 4, they agitate the grass seeds, scattering them from the spreading gaps onto the grassland ground. This sowing method is suitable for use before the rainy season in grasslands, ensuring that the grass seeds receive timely moisture and germinate after landing.
[0037] Example 2, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the support plate 4 is movably installed at the lower end of the storage tank 1. The seed-spreading component also includes multiple telescopic components 5, which are arranged in a circular array on the lower outer wall of the storage tank 1, and are fixedly installed to the lower outer wall of the storage tank 1. The output shaft end of the telescopic component 5 is fixedly installed to the support plate 4, and the telescopic component 5 drives the support plate 4 to move up and down.
[0038] The telescopic component 5 drives the support plate 4 to move up and down. After the support plate 4 rises, it moves closer to the lower edge of the storage hopper 1, gradually reducing the gap between the support plate 4 and the lower edge of the storage hopper 1. When the support plate 4 rises and is pressed tightly against the lower edge of the storage hopper 1, the gap between the support plate 4 and the lower edge of the storage hopper 1 is closed. By controlling the distance between the support plate 4 and the lower edge of the storage hopper 1, the amount of grass seeds released can be controlled.
[0039] A base plate 10 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the lower end of the storage bin 1, and the base plate 10 has a number of discharge holes.
[0040] The bottom plate 10 is used to block and obstruct the flow of grass seeds in the storage hopper 1, reduce the falling speed of grass seeds in the storage hopper 1, prevent the grass seeds from falling too fast in the storage hopper 1, and prevent a large amount of grass seeds from being scattered in a short period of time.
[0041] The telescopic component 5 includes, but is not limited to, a servo electric cylinder or an electric push rod.
[0042] In actual implementation, the controller on the UAV 2 is electrically connected to each telescopic component 5. The controller on the UAV 2 synchronously controls the start and stop of each telescopic component 5, so that the output shaft of each telescopic component 5 extends and retracts synchronously.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
