Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of precision seeders in agricultural machinery, and specifically relates to a seeder hole pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, the sowing process is crucial, and the seeder is the key equipment for achieving precision sowing mechanization. With the widespread cultivation of super rice in my country, its numerous advantages over traditional rice, such as its tall plant size, robust stems, strong tillering ability, and large grains, make it more suitable for sparse planting, which helps individual plant growth and the formation of high-yield populations. Typically, the planting density of super rice is reduced by about 5,000 to 7,000 holes per mu (approximately 0.16 acres) compared to traditional rice. As research on super rice continues to deepen, higher demands are being placed on rice cultivation agronomy. Precision sowing in a streamlined process is a critical link in rice cultivation and is currently one of the least automated and mechanized stages in the planting, harvesting, and production of super rice in my country. Inaccurate hole pressing is a significant factor affecting sowing accuracy. After the seedling tray is laid with bottom soil, the hole pressing mechanism presses out sowing holes in the bottom soil before the seedlings are placed in the sowing position. Most existing technologies use roller-type hole-pressing mechanisms, but the hole-pressing is not precise and has poor compatibility with sowing devices; therefore, the automated production line operation of precision rice sowing requires a precision hole-pressing device that can match the sowing process.

[0027] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this is a preferred embodiment of the seeder hole-pressing device of the present invention. The seeder hole-pressing device includes a frame 1, a transverse conveying device 2, a hole-pressing mechanism 3, an infrared transmitter 4, an infrared receiver 5, an ultrasonic distance sensor 6, a seedling tray correction mechanism 7, and a controller. The transverse conveying device 2 and the hole-pressing mechanism 3 are respectively mounted on the frame 1, with the hole-pressing mechanism 3 located above the transverse conveying device 2. Infrared transmitters 4 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the transverse conveying device 2, and infrared receivers 5 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the hole-pressing mechanism 3. Seedling tray correction mechanisms 7 are respectively provided on both sides of the transverse conveying device 2, and the seedling tray correction mechanisms 7 are mounted on the frame 1. Ultrasonic distance sensors 6 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the left seedling tray correction mechanism 7. The controller is connected to the transverse conveying device 2, the infrared transmitter 4, the infrared receiver 5, the ultrasonic distance sensor 6, and the seedling tray correction mechanism 7.

[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the transverse conveying device 2 includes two symmetrically arranged transverse conveying mechanisms, an electrical control box 203, and a drive mechanism; each transverse conveying mechanism includes a drive roller 201, a belt 202, and a driven roller 205; the belt 202 is installed on the drive roller 201 and the driven roller 201; the two drive rollers 201 at the front end of the two transverse conveying mechanisms are arranged coaxially and connected through the same drive shaft, the drive shaft is connected to the drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism is connected to the controller; the two driven rollers 205 at the rear end are arranged coaxially and connected through the same driven shaft; the electrical control box 203 is installed between the two transverse conveying mechanisms; infrared transmitters 4 are installed at the front and rear ends of the electrical control box 203; the controller and the drive mechanism are installed inside the electrical control box 203.

[0029] Preferably, the drive shaft and the driven shaft are mounted on the frame 1 via mounting base 204.

[0030] Preferably, the distance from the front end of the front infrared transmitter 4 to the rear end of the rear infrared transmitter 4 is equal to the length of the seedling tray. When the seedling tray is transported to a certain point, it can completely cover the front and rear infrared transmitters 4, completely blocking the infrared light. The infrared receiver 5 cannot receive the infrared light. At this time, the controller controls the transverse conveying device 2 to stop conveying.

[0031] The cavitation mechanism 3 includes a flat plate 301, a lifting mechanism 302, and a cavitation component 303; the cavitation component 303 is installed at the bottom of the flat plate 301; one end of the lifting mechanism 302 is connected to the flat plate 301, and the other end is connected to the frame 1.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the cavitation component 303 includes a plurality of conical cavitation protrusions; the cavitation protrusions are connected to the plate 301 and have their tips pointing downwards.

[0033] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, there are four lifting mechanisms 302, which are respectively set on the four corners of the flat plate 301; the pressing mechanism 3 is flat, and the number and position of the pressing protrusions correspond to the number and position of the sowing holes of the seeder. The automatic correction of the direction of the seedling tray is realized by the cooperation of the ultrasonic distance sensor and the seedling tray correction mechanism, which can improve the sowing accuracy of the sowing device after the pressing device presses the holes accurately.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the seedling tray correction mechanism 7 includes a telescopic mechanism 701 and a side plate 702; one end of the telescopic mechanism 701 is connected to the frame 1, and the other end is connected to the side plate 702.

[0035] The telescopic mechanism 701 is a linear hydraulic drive mechanism; the linear hydraulic drive mechanism is connected to the controller.

[0036] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the ultrasonic distance sensor 6 is respectively installed at one-quarter and three-quarters of the left side support of the frame 1; the seedling tray correction mechanism 7 is respectively installed at the middle of the two side supports of the frame 1.

[0037] The front and rear ultrasonic distance sensors 6 are used to measure the distance between themselves and the seedling trays on the transverse conveying device 2, and transmit the distance signal to the controller. When the ultrasonic distance sensor 6 measures that the distance between itself and the seedling tray is not within the preset range, it indicates that the position of the seedling tray on the transverse conveying device 2 is skewed. The controller controls the telescopic mechanism 701 of the seedling tray correction mechanism 7 to push the side plate 702 to contact the transverse conveying device 2 to correct the seedling tray.

[0038] Preferably, the controller is a PLC.

[0039] The working process of the seeder's hole-pressing device is as follows:

[0040] The seedling tray enters the planting hole pressing device of the seeder and is first transported by the transverse conveyor 2. The infrared emitter 4 emits infrared light, which is received by the infrared receiver 5. The distance from the front end of the front infrared emitter 4 to the rear end of the rear infrared emitter 4 is set to be equal to the length of the seedling tray. When the seedling tray is transported to a certain point, it can completely cover the front and rear infrared emitters 4, completely blocking the infrared light, so that the infrared receiver 5 cannot receive the infrared light. At this time, the controller controls the transverse conveyor 2 to stop conveying, and the ultrasonic distance sensor 6 measures the distance between the seedling tray and the tray to see if it is within the preset range. If it is within the preset range, the controller controls the lifting mechanism 302 to start descending, and the pressing component 303 directly presses the seedling tray. When the lifting mechanism 302 descends to the preset height, it rises back to the original height, and the pressing is completed. If the distance between the ultrasonic distance sensor 6 and the seedling tray is not within the preset range, the seedling tray correction mechanism 7 is used for correction. The controller controls the telescopic mechanism 701 to push the side plate 702 to contact the transverse conveyor 2 to correct the seedling tray. After correction, the controller controls the lifting mechanism 302 to start descending, and the pressing component 303 presses the seedling tray. After pressing is completed, the controller controls the transverse conveyor 2 to start conveying, and the pressed seedling tray is conveyed to the sowing device.

[0041] The seeder pressing device of this utility model lays the bottom soil in the seedling tray and sweeps the bottom soil leveled by the bottom soil laying device. Then, it is transported by the transverse conveyor 2. The position is corrected by the ultrasonic distance sensor 6 and the seedling tray correction mechanism 7. The pressing mechanism 3 automatically presses the holes, which improves the accuracy of pressing the holes. After pressing the holes, it is automatically transported to the sowing device by the transverse conveyor 2. This also improves the automation and mechanization of the precision rice sowing process.

[0042] The detailed descriptions listed above are merely specific descriptions of feasible embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. All equivalent embodiments or modifications made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
