Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seeder technology, specifically to an electrically driven controlled seed cleaning and metering device and a seeder. Background Technology
[0002] my country is a major agricultural country with a wide variety of seeders. The seed metering mechanisms are largely similar, mostly finger-clamp or air-suction types. Soybeans, corn, and other seeds require precise sowing. A well-designed seed metering device can increase sowing speed, reduce missed sowing rates, double sowing rates, and the coefficient of variation. The seed metering device does not sow a single seed; it adjusts the position of the seed-cleaning blade according to the user's sowing scenario and the size of the crop seeds to screen and prevent multiple seeds from being sown in the same location, thus reducing the double sowing rate.
[0003] Currently, most seed metering devices use manual seed cleaning blades. The position of the blade is adjusted by manually changing the angle of the screw wheel, requiring precise calculation of the relationship between the screw wheel slide and the blade's movement. The disadvantages of this existing technology are as follows:
[0004] (1) Most of the seeds are 3mm-6mm in diameter. The position of the seed cleaning knife can be adjusted by handwheel to remove excess seeds from the seed tray, but the precision is not high.
[0005] (2) The seed cleaning knife is injection molded, which is easy to wear and has a short life. Utility Model Content
