DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0033] Please refer to 1- Figure 6 A seeding machine seeding arm swing mechanism mainly consists of a mounting plate 1, a seeding arm 2 and a series of precision components. The mounting plate 1 serves as the stable foundation of the entire mechanism, and its one side is firmly fixed with a motor 3, which is the power source of the entire swing mechanism. On the output shaft of the motor 3, a driving sprocket 4 is installed.

[0034] The active sprocket 4 and the driven sprocket 6 are closely connected by a chain, and the tacit cooperation between them realizes the seamless transmission of power. The driven sprocket 6 is installed on the rotating shaft 5, and when the active sprocket 4 rotates, the driven sprocket 6 also rotates, driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate slowly.

[0035] One end of the rotating shaft 5 is fixed with the first crank rod 8, which converts the rotating power of the rotating shaft 5 into the swing of the seeding arm 2. The other end of the first crank rod 8 is ingeniously hinged with the swing rod 9, and the other end of the swing rod 9 is hinged with the middle part of the seeding arm 2. The design of this connecting rod mechanism enables the seeding arm 2 to swing smoothly and stably around its fixed point. It is worth mentioning that the middle part of the seeding arm 2 is also symmetrically fixed with ear plates 14, and the swing rod 9 is hinged with these ear plates 14. Such design greatly increases the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0036] In order to further improve the stability and controllability of the swing of the seeding arm 2, the cooperation of the driving rod 11 and the second crank rod 12 is designed. The second crank rod 12 is stably fixed on the output shaft of the motor 3, and the waist-shaped hole 13 is carefully carved on it, while the driving rod 11 is ingeniously installed in the waist-shaped hole 13. In this way, the rotation of the motor 3 not only drives the seeding arm 2 to swing through the chain, but also precisely assists the driving of the seeding arm 2 through the close cooperation of the driving rod 11 and the second crank rod 12.

[0037] The driving rod 11 includes a rotating part 15 connected with the seeding arm 2, a connecting part 16 provided at one end of the rotating part 15, and a threaded part 17 provided at one end of the connecting part 16. The diameter of the rotating part 15 is ingeniously larger than the width of the waist-shaped hole 13, ensuring that the driving rod 11 cannot easily slip out of the waist-shaped hole 13. The connecting part 16 is provided with an anti-rotation flat part 18 in close contact with the side wall of the waist-shaped hole 13, which effectively prevents the rotation of the driving rod 11 in the waist-shaped hole 13. The threaded part 17 is firmly installed with a nut 19, which is used to fix the position of the driving rod 11 and ensure its stability during work.

[0038] In addition, in order to ensure that each part does not rotate or fall off during rotation, anti-rotation tooth grooves 20 are also provided at the end of the output shaft of the motor 3 and the end of the rotating shaft 5, and matching holes 21 are provided on the active sprocket 4, the driven sprocket 6, the first crank rod 8 and the second crank rod 12, which closely cooperate with the anti-rotation tooth grooves 20. Such design is like putting a layer of strong armor on each part, ensuring their stability and reliability during rotation.

[0039] Finally, in order to prevent the components from falling off during rotation, a first snap spring 22 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 3 to limit the position of the second crank rod 12 and the driving sprocket 4; a second snap spring 7 is installed on the rotating shaft 5 to limit the position of the first crank rod 8 and the driven sprocket 6. The design of these snap springs is like a safety lock for the entire swing mechanism, ensuring its safety during operation.

[0040] Working principle

[0041] Starting the motor: when the motor 3 starts, its output shaft begins to rotate, driving the driving sprocket 4 to rotate.

[0042] Chain transmission: the driving sprocket 4 transmits power to the driven sprocket 6 through the chain, and the driven sprocket 6 rotates accordingly.

[0043] Linkage swing: the rotation of the driven sprocket 6 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and in turn drives the first crank rod 8 to rotate. The first crank rod 8 converts the rotary motion into the swing motion of the seeding arm 2 through the swing rod 9.

[0044] Auxiliary drive: at the same time, the output shaft of the motor 3 also drives the second crank rod 12 to rotate, which, through the cooperation of the waist-shaped hole 13 and the driving rod 11, assists in driving the seeding arm 2, increasing the stability and controllability of the swing.

[0045] Seeding operation: with the swing of the seeding arm 2, the duckbill seeding assembly 10 will sow the seeds into the soil according to the set trajectory.

[0046] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process conversion, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
