Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a multi-functional seed metering device for a film-laying seeder. Background Technology

[0002] In existing agricultural sowing operations, mulch-laying seeders are a widely used type of agricultural machinery. However, traditional mulch-laying seeders have relatively small seed metering openings, typically around 15 square centimeters. With this design, if the mulch shifts even slightly during sowing, the seeds can easily be completely covered by the mulch, preventing them from germinating and thus affecting crop yield.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the performance of seed metering devices to ensure that seeds can be accurately and stably sown into the soil and successfully emerge from the film has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of agricultural machinery. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main cutting film plate is fixedly provided at the front end of the base plate. The main cutting film plate is provided with a seed centering guide groove. The secondary cutting film plate is fixedly provided at the front end of the main cutting film plate. The secondary cutting film plate is horizontally arranged on the top of the main cutting film plate.

[0007] The main cutting membrane plate is provided with a pin at the end away from the secondary cutting membrane plate, and a pin sleeve is provided on the outside of the pin. The opening and closing pressure plate is hinged to the main cutting membrane plate through the pin and connecting bolts.

[0024] A main cutting film plate 3 is fixedly provided at the front end of the base plate 1. A seed centering guide groove 5 is provided inside the main cutting film plate 3. A secondary cutting film plate 4 is fixedly provided at the front end of the main cutting film plate 3. The secondary cutting film plate 4 is horizontally set on the top of the main cutting film plate 3.

[0025] The end of the main cutting membrane 3 away from the secondary cutting membrane 4 is provided with a pin 7, and a pin sleeve 8 is provided on the outside of the pin 7. The opening and closing pressure plate 2 is hinged to the main cutting membrane 3 through the pin 7 and the connecting bolt 11.

[0026] The opening and closing pressure plate 2 is L-shaped, and a depth limiting plate 10 is provided at the top corner of the opening and closing pressure plate 2. A pressure plate support piece 9 is provided between the opening and closing pressure plate 2 and the depth limiting plate 10.

[0027] The bottom plate 1 has a sowing opening 13 at the front end, which is located at the bottom of the seed centering guide groove 5. The bottom plate 1 has a return spring 6 at the rear end, which is located between the opening and closing pressure plate 2 and the bottom plate 1.

[0028] The base plate 1 has a mounting part 12 for connecting to the seeder on its side.

[0029] Both the main cutting membrane plate 3 and the secondary cutting membrane plate 4 are made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant metal to enhance their service life and durability.

[0030] The cross-sectional shape of the seed centering guide groove 5 is V-shaped or U-shaped to better guide the seeds to be centered in the film and ensure the accuracy of sowing.

[0031] The pin sleeve 8 is provided with a lubricating layer or lubricating structure to reduce the friction of the pin 7 inside the sleeve, so that the opening and closing of the opening and closing pressure plate 2 is smoother.

[0032] The return spring 6 is detachable. By installing return springs 6 with different elastic forces, the speed and force of closing the opening and closing pressure plate 2 can be controlled to ensure the stability and accuracy of the sowing operation.

[0033] In practical implementation, the multi-functional seed metering device of this invention is installed on a film-laying seeder, ensuring that all components are securely connected.

The spring force of the return spring is checked to ensure that the opening and closing pressure plate can open and close smoothly.

[0034] Start the film-laying seeder and allow it to move forward at the predetermined speed and direction. When the seed metering device contacts the soil, the main cutting plate first cuts into the film, followed by the secondary cutting plate cutting open the film to create a seeding opening. When the seed metering device reaches the predetermined seeding depth, the opening and closing pressure plate automatically opens under the action of the mechanical structure, and the seeds fall accurately into the soil through the seed centering guide groove. After seeding is completed, the seed metering device continues to move with the film-laying seeder, and the opening and closing pressure plate automatically closes under the action of the return spring, preparing for the next seeding.

[0036] This utility model discloses a multi-functional seed metering device for a film-laying seeder. Its core lies in the cooperation of an opening and closing pressure plate with a main cutting film plate and a secondary cutting film plate to achieve large-area film cutting and accurate seed sowing. When the seed metering device enters the soil with the film-laying seeder, the main cutting film plate first cuts into the film, followed by the secondary cutting film plate further cutting the film to form a larger opening. At this time, the opening and closing pressure plate remains closed under the action of a return spring. When the predetermined sowing depth is reached, the opening and closing pressure plate opens, and the seeds fall accurately into the soil through the seed centering guide groove. After sowing is completed, the seed metering device moves upward with the film-laying seeder, and the opening and closing pressure plate automatically closes under the action of the return spring, completing one sowing cycle.

[0037] Taking corn planting as an example, the multi-functional seed metering device of this invention was selected for planting operations. First, the height of the depth limiting plate was adjusted according to the corn planting depth and soil conditions. Then, the seed metering device was installed on the film-laying seeder, and the machine was started for planting. During the planting process, the operating status of the seed metering device and the planting effect were observed. The results showed that the seed metering device could complete the planting operation stably and accurately, with a large area of ​​film cutting, uniform seed distribution, and a high germination rate.

[0038] As can be seen from the above description of specific embodiments, this utility model provides a novel and high-performance multi-functional seed metering device for film-laying seeders. This seed metering device not only solves the problem of small openings in traditional seed metering devices, which easily lead to seeds being covered by mulch film, but also improves seed germination rate and crop yield, possessing broad application prospects and promotional value.

[0039] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, 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.
