[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0027] An automatic seed storage bin for a seed-seeding drone includes a support member 1 and a bin body 2 detachably connected to the drone. The top of the support member 1 forms at least two placement slots 18 for placing the bin body 2, and the top of the support member 1 is also provided with a storage component 3. The storage component 3 includes a drive part and a storage part. The storage part is installed above the drive part, and the drive part is located between multiple placement slots 18. The top of the storage part forms a storage cavity 38 for storing seeds, and a side tube 33 communicating with the storage cavity 38 is provided on the outside of the storage part. A second solenoid valve 34 is provided on the side tube 33. The drive part drives the storage part and the side tube 33 to rotate to the top of any bin body 2.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, when personnel need to use the device, seeds are added into the storage unit 3. After the seeds are added, the drive unit operates, thereby driving the storage section and the side pipe 33 to rotate. The side pipe 33 rotates to above one of the storage units 2, and the second solenoid valve 34 operates, guiding the seeds through the side pipe 33. The seeds inside the storage chamber 38 are discharged through the side pipe 33 and transported into the storage unit 2. When the storage unit 2 is full of seeds, the second solenoid valve 34 closes, and the storage unit 2 is connected to the drone. The drone carries the storage unit 2 for sowing. After component 2 leaves, the drive unit operates, causing the storage section and side tube 33 to rotate. The side tube 33 rotates to the top of another component 2, and the second solenoid valve 34 operates to guide the seeds through the side tube 33. The seeds inside the storage chamber 38 are discharged through the side tube 33 and transported into the component 2. When the component 2 is full of seeds, the second solenoid valve 34 closes. When the drone returns, the empty component 2 carried by the drone is placed back into the placement slot 18, and the component 2 with seeds is attached to the drone. The drone can then start working immediately and repeat the above process to enable the drone to work continuously.

[0029] Furthermore, when personnel need to restock the drone with seeds, to facilitate the adjustment of the drone's position, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the circumferential surface of the support member 1 is recessed to form an annular groove 15, and a rotating plate 13 is rotatably connected inside the annular groove 15. The top of the rotating plate 13 forms a support plane for placing the drone.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the drone needs to be connected to the housing component 2, the drone is placed on the rotating plate 13, which supports the drone. The rotating plate 13 is used to pull the rotating plate 13 through the annular groove 15, causing the rotating plate 13 to rotate relative to the support component 1, thereby driving the drone to rotate and adjusting the position of the drone so that it can be easily connected to the housing component 2.

[0031] Specifically, in one embodiment, regarding the aforementioned support member 1, as... Figures 1-4 , Figure 7 As shown, the support member 1 includes a base plate 12, a base foot 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 12, and a top plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 12. A placement groove 18 is formed above the top plate 14, and a driving part is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 14.

[0032] In this embodiment, the base plate 12 is supported by the base foot 11, and the hopper body 2 is supported by the top plate 14.

[0033] In addition, regarding the placement of the compartment component 2 in this utility model, as follows: Figures 1-4As shown, a plurality of support rods 16 are fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 14, and brackets 17 are fixedly connected to the free ends of the support rods 16. The placement groove 18 is recessed into the bracket 17.

[0034] In this embodiment, the top plate 14 supports the support rod 16, the support rod 16 supports the bracket 17, and the placement slot 18 on the bracket 17 supports the compartment 2. When personnel remove the compartment 2, they only need to pull the compartment 2 to separate it from the placement slot 18.

[0035] Specifically, in one embodiment, regarding the aforementioned compartment component 2, as... Figures 1-2 , Figure 6 As shown, the housing component 2 includes a drone seed housing 21. A connecting frame 23 for connecting a drone is fixedly connected to one side of the drone seed housing 21, and a first solenoid valve 22 is provided at the bottom of the drone seed housing 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second solenoid valve 34 is opened, thereby allowing the side pipe 33 to discharge the seeds inside the storage component 3, so that the seeds are transported to the inside of the drone seed bin 21, connected to the drone via the connecting frame 23, and the drone carries the drone seed bin 21 to move. Sowing can be carried out by opening the first solenoid valve 22.

[0037] Furthermore, in this utility model, regarding the aforementioned storage component 3, as follows: Figures 1-2 , Figure 5 As shown, the storage component 3 includes a storage hopper 31, a storage cavity 38 is formed on the top of the storage hopper 31, and a bottom pipe 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage hopper 31, with a side pipe 33 fixed to one side of the bottom pipe 32.

[0038] In this embodiment, when personnel need to add seeds, the seeds are added to the storage hopper 31, stored in the storage chamber 38, and the second solenoid valve 34 is opened to allow the side pipe 33 to discharge the seeds inside the storage component 3, so that the seeds are transported to the seed bin 21 of the drone, thereby replenishing the seeds.

[0039] When the seeds are discharged from the bottom tube 32, in order to facilitate complete seed discharge, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom end of the bottom pipe 32 is inclined to form a material guiding slope 310, and the horizontal height of the material guiding slope 310 on the side near the side pipe 33 is lower than the horizontal height on the other side.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the seeds are discharged from the side pipe 33, the guide slope 310 is used to make the seed discharge more efficient.

[0041] Specifically, in one embodiment, regarding the aforementioned driving portion, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the drive part includes a first motor 35, which is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 14, and the output end of the top of the first motor 35 is connected to a connecting shaft 36, the top of the connecting shaft 36 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom tube 32.

[0042] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to drive the storage hopper 31 to rotate, the first motor 35 works, thereby driving the connecting shaft 36 to rotate. The connecting shaft 36 drives the storage hopper 31 to rotate, thereby adjusting the discharge position of the side pipe 33.

[0043] When seeds need to be expelled, to avoid blockage during seed expulsion, such as Figures 1-2 , Figure 5 As shown, a stirring rod 39 is rotatably connected to the storage hopper 31, and the stirring rod 39 is located inside the storage cavity 38.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the storage hopper 31 discharges seeds, the stirring rod 39 rotates to make the discharge of seeds from the storage hopper 31 more efficient.

[0045] Furthermore, regarding how the stirring rod 39 rotates in this utility model, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a second motor 37 is fixedly connected above the storage hopper 31, and the output end of the bottom of the second motor 37 is connected to the stirring rod 39.

[0046] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to drive the stirring rod 39 to rotate, the second motor 37 is activated to drive the stirring rod 39 to rotate.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
