After sowing, impurities and unqualified seeds in the collection box at the bottom of the screening chamber can be cleaned out, and the equipment can be cleaned and maintained for the next use.
[0035] Working Principle: Seed Screening Principle: A rotating motor drives an eccentric wheel to rotate. As the eccentric wheel rotates, it continuously presses against a movable plate, causing the movable plate to vibrate up and down. The movable plate is connected to the top of the screening chamber via a second spring. Simultaneously, a guide rod connected to the movable plate passes through both the large and small filter screens. Limiting plates one and two on the guide rod, along with spring one, work together to cause the large and small filter screens to vibrate as well. After the seeds enter the screening chamber from the storage layer, under the influence of vibration, the large filter screen first intercepts larger impurities. Qualified seeds fall through the large filter screen onto the small filter screen, where further screening occurs. Smaller impurities and unqualified seeds enter the bottom of the small filter screen, while qualified seeds are placed in the sowing assembly connected to the discharge port on one side of the screening chamber.
[0036] Sowing principle: When the ground wheel rolls on the ground, it drives the ground wheel axle to rotate. The driving gears on both sides of the ground wheel axle rotate accordingly. The driving gears drive the driven gears at both ends of the connecting shaft to rotate via a chain. The rotation of the connecting shaft in turn drives the seed-distributing wheel in the discharge hopper to rotate. The screened seeds fall into the discharge hopper, and the seed-distributing wheel pushes the seeds out of the discharge hopper. The seeds fall into the furrows opened by the furrow opener through the seed discharge guide and seed discharge pipe. Then, the pressure roller assembly covers and compacts the soil in the furrows after sowing.
[0037] In summary, this invention features a seed screening layer with both large and small filters. The large filter removes larger impurities from the seeds, preventing them from entering the sowing assembly and becoming entangled on the seed-feeding wheel, thus improving operation. The small filter removes smaller particles, ensuring uniform seed size and increasing corn germination rate and uniform growth. The seed-feeding wheel and other structural designs of the sowing assembly enable precise seed distribution. Combined with the furrow opener and pressure roller assembly, this ensures seeds are sown at appropriate depths and spacing, resulting in good soil covering and further improving sowing quality. The electric telescopic rod and movable plate design on the screening chamber allow for flexible adjustment of the connection between the screening chamber and the sowing assembly based on seed screening conditions and sowing needs. The spring support rod and spring-loaded structure in the pressure roller assembly allow the pressure roller to adaptively adjust pressure according to ground conditions, ensuring effective soil covering. A collection box at the bottom of the screening chamber facilitates the collection of screened impurities and unsuitable seeds, keeping the equipment clean and facilitating subsequent processing.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These will not affect the implementation effect of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
