[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 A millet sowing row spacing adjustment device includes an installation rod 1, on which a sowing component 2 is provided. The sowing component 2 is provided in multiple sets and is installed on the installation rod 1 through an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment hole 3, an adjustment sleeve 4, an insertion rod 5, and a quick-release mechanism. The adjustment hole 3 is provided in multiple sets distributed on the installation rod 1. The adjustment sleeve 4 is connected to the multiple sets of sowing components and slides on the outer wall of the installation rod 1. The insertion rod 5 is inserted into the adjustment hole 3. The quick-release mechanism includes a fixing sleeve 6, a snap-fit ​​piece 7, a snap groove 8, a compression spring 9, a push plate 10, and a quick-release mechanism. The fixing sleeve 6 is provided at the top of the insertion rod 5. The snap-fit ​​piece 7 is provided in multiple sets distributed on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 6. The snap groove 8 is provided in multiple sets distributed on the outer wall of the insertion rod 5. The compression spring 9 is provided in multiple sets connected to the inner top surface of the fixing sleeve 6. The push plate 10 is installed at the bottom of the multiple sets of compression springs 9 and abuts against the top of the insertion rod 5.

[0027] The quick-release mechanism includes an unlocking sleeve 11, a transmission frame 12, a sliding groove 13, a sliding sleeve 14, a connecting sleeve 15, a limiting sleeve 16, a push spring 17, a sliding rod 18, a limiting block 19, a limiting groove 20, and an unlocking groove 21. The unlocking sleeve 11 slides inside the fixed sleeve 6. The transmission frame 12 is installed on the top of the unlocking sleeve 11. The sliding groove 13 is provided in multiple sets distributed on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 6 and slidably connected to the transmission frame 12. The sliding sleeve 14 is installed on the outer wall of the transmission frame 12. The connecting sleeve 15 is fixed to the bottom surface of the sliding sleeve 14. The limiting sleeve 16 rotates on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 6. The push spring 17 is connected to the top surface of the limiting sleeve 16. The sliding rod 18 is provided in multiple sets distributed on the bottom surface of the connecting sleeve 15. The limiting block 19 is installed at the bottom end of the multiple sets of sliding rods 18. The limiting groove 20 is provided in multiple sets distributed on the limiting sleeve 16 and slidably connected to the multiple sets of sliding rods 18 respectively. The unlocking groove 21 is provided at one end of the multiple sets of limiting grooves 20.

[0028] The bottom end of the unlocking sleeve 11 is connected to a movable sleeve 22, and the fixed sleeve 6 is provided with a guide rod 23. Multiple sets of guide rods 23 are provided, and all of them are slidably connected to the movable sleeve 22. The guide rods 23 guide the movement trajectory of the movable sleeve 22 and ensure the stability of the movement of the unlocking sleeve 11.

[0029] The top of the push spring 17 is connected to a thrust bearing 24, which is rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve 15. The thrust bearing 24 bears the axial force while allowing the connecting sleeve 15 to rotate freely, thereby reducing frictional resistance.

[0030] The top of the insertion rod 5 is provided with a clearance groove 25. The area of ​​the clearance groove 25 is larger than that of the transmission frame 12. The clearance groove 25 provides sufficient space for the transmission frame 12 to move and prevent mutual interference during the movement.

[0031] The diameter of each of the multiple unlocking slots 21 is larger than that of the limiting block 19. The size difference ensures that the limiting block 19 can smoothly enter the unlocking slot 21 to achieve the unlocking function.

[0032] The inner side of the fixed sleeve 6 is provided with a positioning block 26, and multiple sets of positioning blocks 26 are provided. The outer wall of the insertion rod 5 is provided with a positioning groove 27, and multiple sets of positioning grooves 27 are provided and are slidably connected to multiple sets of positioning blocks 26 respectively. The accurate positioning and anti-rotation of the insertion rod 5 are achieved through the cooperation of the positioning blocks 26 and the positioning grooves 27.

[0033] All sets of limiting grooves 20 are set to arc shape. The arc design makes the limiting block 19 move more smoothly in the limiting groove 20 and reduces jamming.

[0034] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the sowing component 2, the adjusting sleeve 4 is slid along the mounting rod 1 to adjust the row spacing between multiple sowing components 2. The positioning is achieved through multiple adjusting holes 3. After adjustment, the insert rod 5 is inserted into the adjusting hole 3, and the fixing sleeve 6 is inserted into the insert rod 5. The positioning is achieved through multiple positioning blocks 26 and positioning grooves 27. The top of the insert rod 5 abuts against multiple push plates 10 and squeezes multiple compression springs 9. The insert rod 5 is engaged in the slot 8 through multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 7. The snap-fit ​​pieces 7 are pushed by multiple compression springs 9 to lock the insert rod 5 and snap-fit ​​pieces 7 together, thus completing the fixing of the adjusting sleeve 4.

[0035] More specifically, when it is necessary to release the fixation and adjust again, rotating the limiting sleeve 16 causes multiple sets of sliding rods 18 to move along the limiting groove 20 into the unlocking groove 21, thereby releasing the contact between multiple sets of limiting blocks 19 and the bottom surface of the limiting sleeve 16. The push spring 17 pushes the connecting sleeve 15 and the sliding sleeve 14, and the sliding sleeve 14 pulls the unlocking sleeve 11 through the transmission frame 12 to push multiple sets of snap-fit ​​pieces 7 to disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove 8, thereby releasing the snap-fit ​​on the insertion rod 5. The multiple sets of compression springs 9 reset and drive the abutment plate to push the insertion rod 5 to separate from the fixing sleeve 6, so that it disengages from the adjustment hole 3, thus completing the unlocking of the adjustment sleeve 4.

[0036] In summary, when the overall equipment is in use or operation: when it is necessary to adjust the seeding component 2, the adjusting sleeve 4 is slid along the mounting rod 1 to adjust the row spacing between multiple seeding components 2, and the positioning is achieved through multiple adjusting holes 3. After adjustment, the insert rod 5 is inserted into the adjusting hole 3, and the fixing sleeve 6 is inserted into the insert rod 5. The positioning blocks 26 are positioned and inserted into the positioning grooves 27. The top of the insert rod 5 abuts against multiple push plates 10 and squeezes multiple compression springs 9. It is engaged in the slots 8 through multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 7. The multiple compression springs 9 push the insert rod 5 and snap-fit ​​pieces 7 to lock together, thus completing the fixing of the adjusting sleeve 4.

[0037] When it is necessary to release the fixation and adjust again, rotate the limiting sleeve 16 to move multiple sets of sliding rods 18 along the limiting groove 20 into the unlocking groove 21, thereby releasing the contact between multiple sets of limiting blocks 19 and the bottom surface of the limiting sleeve 16. The push spring 17 pushes the connecting sleeve 15 and the sliding sleeve 14. The sliding sleeve 14 pulls the unlocking sleeve 11 through the transmission frame 12 to push multiple sets of snap-fit ​​pieces 7 to disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove 8, thereby releasing the snap-fit ​​on the insertion rod 5. The multiple sets of compression springs 9 reset and drive the abutment plate to push the insertion rod 5 to separate from the fixing sleeve 6, so that it disengages from the adjustment hole 3, thus completing the unlocking of the adjustment sleeve 4.
