[0018] 3. Beneficial effects

[0019] Compared with existing known technologies, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following significant advantages:

[0020] (1) The present invention provides a seed sowing roller, wherein a roller shaft is arranged axially on the roller body. The roller shaft is segmented and the segments are detachably connected. When the sowing roller is installed, one segment of the roller shaft is installed on the frame, and the remaining roller shafts are connected together and installed on the sowing roller. When the sowing roller needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to separate the roller shaft installed on the frame from the remaining roller shafts to remove the sowing roller. After replacing the sowing roller, the sowing roller together with the remaining roller shafts can be connected to the roller shaft set on the frame.

[0021] (2) The present invention provides a seed sowing roller with a plug end on the second roller shaft and a second end on the first roller shaft. The first roller shaft and the second roller shaft are connected by a direct insertion or threaded connection between the second end and the plug end.

[0038] Example

[0039] Combination Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a seeder including a seed-planting roller, which is used to sow seeds from the hopper into a seedling tray on the seeder. Since the seed-planting roller in a seeder frequently needs maintenance or replacement, existing seeders typically mount the seed-planting roller directly to the frame via roller shafts. When the seed-planting roller needs to be removed, the roller shafts at both ends of the roller must be removed separately, requiring the entire seeder to be disassembled, which is cumbersome. Therefore, this embodiment addresses this issue by axially configuring roller shafts on the roller body 1. These roller shafts are segmented and detachably connected. During installation, one segment of the roller shaft is mounted on the frame, while the remaining roller shafts are connected together and mounted on the seed-planting roller. When the seed-planting roller needs to be replaced, simply detach the roller shaft mounted on the frame from the remaining roller shafts to remove the seed-planting roller. After replacement, the seed-planting roller, along with the remaining roller shafts, can be reconnected to the roller shaft mounted on the frame.

[0040] Specifically, in combination Figure 3This embodiment of a seeder includes a seeding roller mounted on the seeder frame. The seeding roller is connected to a seed hopper on the frame via a material discharge channel. During sowing, seeds are first placed in the hopper and then fall onto the seeding roller through the material discharge channel. Different seed grooves are provided on the seeding roller depending on the sowing type: for example, in precision sowing, strip-shaped seed grooves are formed along the circumference of the seeding roller, or each strip-shaped seed groove is divided into multiple square seed grooves 12 using partitions 13. In broadcast sowing, strip-shaped seed grooves are formed along the axial direction of the seeding roller. After the seeds fall from the hopper into the seed grooves on the seeding roller, as the seeding roller rotates, the seeds are transferred from the material discharge channel to the lower part of the seeding roller. At this time, a seedling tray passes under the seeding roller, and the seeds fall into the seedling tray under gravity, completing the sowing process. (See attached figures for this embodiment.) Figures 1-3 The precision seeding roller used in precision seeding is shown, with multiple square seed grooves 12 set on its surface.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sowing roller of this embodiment includes a roller body 1. In this embodiment, the roller body 1 is a cylinder with a hollow interior. The sowing roller surface 11 is actually formed by wrapping around the cylinder and fixing two end faces at the two ends of the opening using screws or other methods. A roller shaft is provided in the middle of the roller body 1, and the roller shaft is arranged axially along the roller body 1. In this embodiment, the roller shaft is arranged along the central axis of the roller body 1 and passes through both ends of the roller body 1. The roller shaft and the roller body 1 are connected together; when the roller shaft is driven to rotate, the roller body 1 is also driven to rotate simultaneously. In this embodiment, both ends of the roller shaft are mounted on the frame of the seeder via bearings. At least one end of the roller shaft is connected to a drive motor. The drive motor drives the roller body 1 to rotate through the roller shaft, transferring seeds from the hopper to the seedling tray for sowing. To enable quick replacement of the sowing roller, the roller shaft in this embodiment is segmented, including at least a first roller shaft 2 and a second roller shaft 3. The first roller shaft 2 and the second roller shaft 3 are detachably connected, and the connection point between the first roller shaft 2 and the second roller shaft 3 is a connection point located inside or outside the roller body 1. In this embodiment, the roller shaft is divided into at least two sections, with one section mounted on the frame and rotating only on the frame without being removed. In this embodiment, both ends of the connected roller shaft are located outside the roller body 1 and are mounted on the frame. The difference is that when replacing the seeding roller, one end is removed from the frame, while the other end remains attached. At least one end of the first roller shaft 2 is located outside the roller body 1, and the other end can be located inside or outside the roller body 1. When the other end of the first roller shaft 2 is located inside the roller body 1, the second roller shaft 3 also needs to extend into the roller body 1 and connect to the first roller shaft 2. When the other end of the first roller shaft 2 is located outside the roller body 1, the second roller shaft 3 only needs to connect to the other end of the first roller shaft 2 outside the roller body 1.

[0042] Combination Figure 4In this embodiment, the second roller shaft 3 includes a mounting shaft 31 and a plug end 33. The end of the mounting shaft 31 is connected to the plug end 33, which is used to connect to the first roller shaft 2. The mounting shaft 31 is mounted on the frame. In this embodiment, the diameter of the plug end 33 of the second roller shaft 3 is larger than the diameter of the mounting shaft 31. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the first roller shaft 2 and reduces the diameter of the mounting shaft 31 as a drive shaft, making installation easier. In this embodiment, a second slot 32 is also provided on the mounting shaft 31 for connecting transmission structures such as gears or rollers, and for connecting motors or other structures that need to rotate synchronously.

[0043] Combination Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first roller shaft 2 includes a shaft body 21, a first end 22, and a second end 25, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the shaft body 21; the second end 25 is connected to the plug end 33 of the second roller shaft 3. In this embodiment, the first end 22 is detachably mounted on the frame, and a locking surface 23 is provided at the first end 22 for connecting transmission structures such as gears or rollers, and for connecting other structures that need to rotate synchronously. At the same time, a first slot 24 is provided on the first end 22 for connecting to the drive motor.

[0044] In this embodiment, to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first roller shaft 2 and the second roller shaft 3, a detachable connection is used, specifically, the second end 25 is detachably connected to the plug end 33. There are various detachable connection methods, but since the seeding roller is located inside the seeder, using bolts or clips would require disassembling the seeder to separate the first roller shaft 2 and the second roller shaft 3. Therefore, to allow the seeding roller to be removed without disassembling the entire seeder, only by removing a side plate on one side of the seeder, this embodiment employs two methods to connect the second end 25 to the plug end 33. One method involves providing threaded structures on both the plug end 33 and the second end 25, allowing for a detachable connection. When the second end 25 and the plug end 33 are connected by threads, the direction of thread tightening is opposite to the direction of roller shaft rotation. Thus, when the seeding roller rotates, the first roller shaft 2 and the second roller shaft 3 tighten further, preventing separation. To disassemble, the second roller shaft 3 is fixed, and the first roller shaft 2 is unscrewed. Secondly, a slot 34 is formed at the end of the plug end 33, and the second end 25 is inserted into the slot 34 on the second roller shaft 3; wherein the slot 34 has a polygonal cross-section, and the cross-sectional shape of the second end 25 is the same as that of the slot 34. This allows for easy connection between the two while preventing relative rotation between them during rotation. In this embodiment, a stepped surface is provided at the connection between the second end 25 and the shaft 21, so that when the second end 25 is connected to the plug end 33, the end face of the plug end 33 contacts the stepped surface.

[0045] The seeder of this embodiment adopts a seed-planting roller with a detachable roller shaft, which makes it easier to replace the seed-planting roller and is convenient to use.

[0046] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
