Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural seeding machinery technology, and in particular relates to a solar-powered automatic seeding and fertilizing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Sowing and fertilization are crucial steps in agricultural production. To improve efficiency, the industry has adopted various methods to optimize and combine these two tasks, integrating them into a single machine or completing both steps in a single operation. Furthermore, during machine relocation or turning, the sowing and fertilization processes need to be stopped while the machine continues to move. Seeders capable of performing these functions are often complex and expensive, making them difficult to apply in ordinary equipment, and even more difficult to use in small- to medium-scale agricultural production sites. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a solar-powered automatic seeding and fertilizing machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:
[0005] A solar-powered automatic seeding and fertilizing machine includes a follower unit, a feeding unit, a drive unit, a seeding unit, a furrow seeder, and a leveling seeding and covering device. The feeding unit is installed on the follower unit, the drive unit is located in front of the feeding unit and connected to the feeding unit, the seeding unit is installed below the feeding unit, and the furrow seeder and leveling seeding and covering device are installed at the bottom of the seeding unit as needed.
[0006] The follower unit includes rollers, a main shaft, and a screw. There are two rollers connected by the main shaft. The feeding unit includes a fertilizer box, a seed box, a control panel, a mounting plate, a connecting rod, a pull rod, and a diverter plate. The rear half of the feeding unit is the fertilizer box, and the front half is the seed box. The control panel is mounted on the bottom of the fertilizer box, and the control panel is mounted on the mounting plate. A connecting rod extends rearward from the control panel, and a pull rod is connected to the connecting rod. The pull rod is used to operate the control panel.
[0007] The sowing section includes a rotating shaft, screening wheels, seed protectors, hanging ears, clamps, and a clutch device. The rotating shaft is installed on the bottom of the mounting plate of the feeding section via the hanging ears. Screening wheels are evenly distributed on the rotating shaft. The screening wheels screen the seeds, separating a certain number of seeds into a group and conveying them downwards as the screening wheels rotate. Seed protectors are installed on both sides of the central hole of the screening wheels. The seed protectors face upwards towards the seed box, guiding the seeds from the seed box into the screening wheels. The seed protectors are connected downwards to the clamps on the front side. A furrowing seeder or a leveling seeder with soil covering is installed on the clamps. A clutch device is installed at the end of the rotating shaft. The clutch device is used to control the rhythm of the rotating shaft's rotation with the rollers and to engage or disengage.
[0008] Furthermore, a pin is installed at one end of the main shaft, which passes through the axis of the main shaft and the roller, so that the main shaft and the roller rotate together. A limit pin is installed at the other end of the main shaft, which limits the roller on that side to the main shaft. In this way, one of the two rollers is used to drive the main shaft to rotate, while the other only moves to allow the seeder to turn.
[0009] Furthermore, the main shaft has a spiral in the middle, and the rotation of the spiral helps to comb and convey the seeds at the bottom of the feeding section.
[0010] Furthermore, multiple diversion plates are installed at intervals inside the seed box and fertilizer box. The diversion plates play a preliminary role in diverting and sorting the seeds or fertilizer in the seed box or fertilizer box, so that the seeds automatically align with the screening wheel and fertilizer inlet of the sowing section below, thus ensuring that the seeds fall into the screening wheel and fertilizer inlet as needed.
[0011] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a bracket, a motor, drive wheels, a battery box, a solar panel, and a satellite positioning device. The bracket is connected to the mounting plate below the feeding section, thereby pulling the entire seeding and fertilizing machine to move. A motor is installed on each side of the bracket, and the motor is connected to the drive wheel. The motor drives the drive wheel to rotate, thereby driving the entire seeding and fertilizing machine to move. A battery box is installed in the middle of the bracket, and the storage battery is installed in the battery box according to its performance characteristics. A solar panel is installed on the top of the bracket. The solar panel supplies power to the storage battery, and the storage battery supplies power to the motor. Matching inverters and controllers are installed between the solar panel, the storage battery, and the motor.
[0012] Furthermore, a satellite positioning device is installed on the side of the support frame. The satellite positioning device provides positioning and navigation information to the entire seeder, and automatic seeding can be achieved through common control devices.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention is used for agricultural sowing operations. It features a solar-powered drive system that moves the main body of the seeder. A follow-up device rotates and combs the seeds. It also includes a sowing and fertilization component with seed sieving function, which separates the seeds and fertilizer before sowing and fertilization. Fertilization can be performed as needed, and the operation can be manually controlled. Furthermore, the fertilization mechanism can also perform widespread sowing, scattering large quantities of seeds, such as rice and spinach seeds, across the surface of the seedbed.

[0024] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.
[0025] In this embodiment, the connection of the various components uses welding technology extensively and bolt connection technology to a limited extent. For welding technology, weld seams are not shown in the drawings for the sake of simplicity, which is easily understood by those skilled in the art. For bolt connection parts, connection holes are used to illustrate the connection, and bolts are not shown in the drawings for the sake of simplicity, which is easily understood by those skilled in the art.
[0026] See Figures 1-8The solar-powered automatic seeder and fertilizer applicator shown includes a follower unit 10, a feeding unit 20, a drive unit 30, a seeding unit 40, a furrow seeder 50, and a leveling seeder and soil coverer 60. The feeding unit 20 is mounted on the follower unit 10, the drive unit 30 is located in front of the feeding unit 20 and connected to the feeding unit 20, the seeding unit 40 is mounted below the feeding unit 20, and the furrow seeder 50 and the leveling seeder and soil coverer 60 are mounted at the bottom of the seeding unit 40 as needed.
[0027] The follower unit 10 includes rollers 11, a main shaft 12, a spiral 13, a pin 14, a limiting pin 15, a mounting ring 16, and a clip 17. There are two rollers 11 connected by the main shaft 12. A pin 14 is installed at one end of the main shaft 12, and the pin 14 passes through the axis of the main shaft 12 and the rollers 11, so that the main shaft 12 and the rollers 11 rotate together. A limiting pin 15 is installed at the other end of the main shaft 12, and the limiting pin 15 limits the roller 11 on this side to the main shaft 12. In this way, one of the two rollers 11 is used to drive the main shaft 12 to rotate, while the other only follows the movement so that the seeder can turn. The main shaft 12 has a spiral 13 in the middle, and the rotation of the spiral 13 plays a role in combing and conveying the seeds at the bottom of the feeding section 20. Both rollers 11 have mounting rings 16 welded to their inner sides. The mounting rings 16 on the rollers 11 closest to the clutch device 46 of the sowing section 40 have clips 17 evenly distributed around their circumference. The clips 17 rotate on the mounting rings 16 along with the rollers 11. During this rotation, the clutch device 46 causes the shaft 41 of the sowing section 40 to rotate, thus achieving sowing at the set plant spacing.
[0028] The feeding section 20 includes a fertilizer box 21, a seed box 22, a control plate 23, a mounting plate 24, a connecting rod 25, a pull rod 26, and a diversion plate 27. The rear half of the feeding section 20 is the fertilizer box 21, and the front half is the seed box 22. The control plate 23 is installed at the bottom of the fertilizer box 21, and the bottom of the fertilizer box 21 has a mounting plate 24. The control plate 23 is installed on the mounting plate 24. The control plate 23 extends rearward to the connecting rod 25, and the pull rod 26 is connected to the connecting rod 25. The pull rod 26 is used to operate the movement of the control plate 23. When the control plate 23 is pulled upward, the control plate 23 is pressed against the bottom of the fertilizer box 21, sealing the bottom of the fertilizer box 21 and stopping the downward fertilization. When the pull rod 26 is released, the control plate 23 flips downward under its own weight, creating an opening at the bottom of the fertilizer box 21, and the material in the fertilizer box 21 flows downward to realize the fertilization operation. Multiple diversion plates 27 are installed at intervals inside the seed box 22 and fertilizer box 21. The diversion plates 27 play a preliminary diversion and sorting role for the seeds or fertilizers in the seed box 22 or fertilizer box 21, so that the seeds are automatically aligned with the screening wheel 42 and fertilizer inlet of the sowing section 40 below, thus ensuring that the seeds fall into the screening wheel 42 and fertilizer inlet as needed.
[0029] The drive unit 30 includes a bracket 31, a motor 32, a drive wheel 33, a battery box 34, a solar panel 35, and a satellite positioning device 36. The bracket 31 is connected to the mounting plate 24 below the feeding unit 20, thereby pulling the entire seeder and fertilizer applicator. A motor 32 is installed on each side of the bracket 31, and the motor 32 is connected to the drive wheel 33. The motor 32 drives the drive wheel 33 to rotate, thus driving the entire seeder and fertilizer applicator. The battery box 34 is installed in the middle of the bracket 31, and the battery is installed inside the battery box 34 according to its performance characteristics. A solar panel 35 is installed on the top of the bracket 31. The solar panel 35 supplies power to the battery, which in turn supplies power to the motor 32. Matching inverters and controllers are installed between the solar panel 35, the battery 34, and the motor 32. A satellite positioning device 36 is also installed on the side of the bracket 31. The satellite positioning device 36 provides positioning and navigation information to the entire seeder, enabling automatic sowing through common control devices.
[0030] The sowing section 40 includes a rotating shaft 41, a screening wheel 42, a seed protector 43, a hanging ear 44, a clamping plate 45, and a clutch device 46. The rotating shaft 41 is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 24 of the feeding section 20 via the hanging ear 44. The screening wheel 42 is evenly installed on the rotating shaft 41. The screening wheel 42 screens the seeds, dividing a certain number of seeds into a group and conveying them downward as the screening wheel 42 rotates. The seed protector 43 is installed on both sides of the central hole of the screening wheel 42. The seed protector 43 faces upward toward the seed box 22 and guides the seeds from the seed box 22 into the screening wheel 42. The seed protector 43 is connected downward to the clamping plate 45 on the front side. The clamping plate 45 is equipped with a furrowing seeder 50 or a leveling seeder with soil covering 60. The clutch device 46 is installed at the end of the rotating shaft 41. The clutch device 46 is used to control the rhythm of the rotation of the rotating shaft 41 with the roller 11 and to engage or disengage.
[0031] The clutch device 46 includes a spring 461, a gear 462, a fixed plate 463, and a handle 464. The spring 461 is fitted onto the end of the rotating shaft 41, and the outer end of the spring 461 is connected to the gear 462. The gear 462 is mounted on the rotating shaft 41, and the fixed plate 463 is mounted on the outermost end of the rotating shaft 41. Under the action of the spring 461, the gear 462 always abuts against the fixed plate 463. The rotation of the fixed plate 463 drives the sieving wheel 42 of the seeding section 40 to rotate through the rotating shaft 41. The handle 464 is mounted on the side wall of the feeding section 20. When the handle 464 is pulled down, the pin of the handle 464 is inserted into the gap between the gear 462 and the fixed plate 463. Since the fixed plate 463 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 41, the gear 462 compresses the spring 461 and moves inward to disengage from the fixed plate 463, thereby disengaging the clutch device. As a result, the gear 462 no longer drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate.
[0032] The furrow seeder 50 is used to create deeper furrows and perform seeding operations. The leveling seed and covering device 60 is used to create shallower furrows and achieve continuous seeding and covering operations.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: An appropriate amount of seeds are added to the seed box 22, and an appropriate amount of fertilizer is added to the fertilizer box 21. The opening and closing of the fertilizer box 21 is controlled by the pull rod 26, allowing fertilization as needed. The drive unit 30 drags the feeding unit 20 to move. The movement of the feeding unit 20 causes the roller 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the main shaft 12 to rotate, and the spiral 13 rotates accordingly, combing the seeds in the seed box 22. Simultaneously, the inner side of the roller 11 has an mounting ring 16, on which clips 17 are evenly distributed. The number of clips 17 is determined according to the planting spacing. As the feeding unit 20 moves and the roller 11 rotates, the clips 17 become tangent to the gear 462. As the mounting ring 16 rotates, the clips 17 drive the gear 462 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate. The screening wheel 42 rotates accordingly, and the sowing unit 40 intermittently conveys seeds downwards, realizing the sowing operation.
[0034] The above embodiments mainly illustrate the solar-powered automatic seeding and fertilizing machine of this utility model. Although only a limited number of embodiments and technical features have been described, those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model can be implemented in many other forms without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, the illustrated embodiments are to be regarded as illustrative and not limiting, and this utility model may cover various modifications and substitutions without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model as defined by the appended claims.
