Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural production equipment technology, specifically to a seeding device that can adapt to terrain. Background Technology

[0002] Sowing is the primary step in agricultural production. The quality of sowing directly affects the germination rate and growth status of crops, ultimately determining the yield and quality of crops. With the advancement of agricultural modernization, the technological development and application of seeders, as core agricultural equipment, are of great significance to the sustainable development of agriculture.

[0003] In the process of developing this application, the following problems were found with the technology: The existing seeder feeding requires manual operation by the staff, which is extremely cumbersome. The staff must first turn off the seeder, then move to the hopper, and then move the container full of seeds over and manually pour the seeds into the hopper. This operation not only consumes a lot of time, but also puts a great strain on the staff's physical strength. Moreover, frequently turning the seeder off and on not only disrupts the sowing rhythm, but may also cause deviations in the already set sowing parameters, affecting the accuracy of sowing.

[0004] To address this, a seeding device that can adapt to terrain is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing seeders require manual operation for refilling seeds, a process that is extremely cumbersome. Workers must first stop the seeder, then move to the hopper, and then move the container full of seeds over to manually pour them into the hopper. This operation is not only time-consuming but also physically demanding. Furthermore, frequent stopping and starting of the seeder disrupts the sowing rhythm and may cause deviations in the already set sowing parameters, affecting the accuracy of sowing. This invention provides a terrain-adaptive sowing device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An adaptive terrain-seeding device includes a seeder body, a material guiding mechanism for feeding material into the hopper inside the seeder body is installed on the back of the seeder body, and positioning mechanisms for positioning the rotational position of the internal equipment of the material guiding mechanism are installed on the left and right sides of the material guiding mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the material guiding mechanism includes a U-shaped fixing plate, which is installed on the back of the seeder body. An L-shaped connecting plate is rotatably connected inside the U-shaped fixing plate, and a storage bucket is rotatably connected inside the L-shaped connecting plate. The position of the hopper of the seeder body is located on the rotation path of the storage bucket.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes two sets of fixing blocks, which are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the L-shaped connecting plate. The fixing blocks are slidably connected with a locking block inside, and electromagnetic blocks are installed on both the left and right sides of the storage bucket.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing ring is installed on the lower surface of the storage hopper.

[0011] Furthermore, an infrared rangefinder is mounted on the lower surface of the fixed ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the storage hopper is equipped with two sets of partitions inside.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses a remote control communication module to trigger the control panel to start the motor. During the startup process, the motor drives the L-shaped connecting plate and the storage hopper to rotate, adjusting and moving the bottom guide port of the storage hopper to the top of the feed inlet of the main hopper of the seeder. Then, the remote control communication module triggers the solenoid valve to open the guide port of the storage hopper, allowing the raw material accumulated inside the storage hopper to fall into the main hopper of the seeder under the action of gravity. This eliminates the need to shut down the main hopper of the seeder when replenishing the main hopper, thereby improving the sowing efficiency of the main hopper and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses a remote control communication module to trigger the control panel to activate two sets of electromagnetic blocks. During the activation process, the two sets of electromagnetic blocks attract two sets of locking blocks to slide. The ends of the two sets of locking blocks near the storage bucket are respectively inserted into the grooves of the two sets of rotating rods. This allows the subsequent positioning mechanism to restrict the rotation position of the rotating rods inside the bearings, thereby minimizing the shaking of the storage bucket during the feeding process and preventing the subsequent solenoid valve from spilling raw materials onto the ground during the guiding process. This improves the stability of the storage bucket during the feeding process. Attached Figure Description

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, an adaptive terrain-seeding device includes a seeder body 1. A material guiding mechanism 2 for feeding material into the hopper of the seeder body 1 is installed on the back of the seeder body 1. Positioning mechanisms 3 for positioning the rotational position of the internal equipment of the material guiding mechanism 2 are installed on the left and right sides of the material guiding mechanism 2. Specifically, by activating the material guiding mechanism 2, the material guiding mechanism 2 is rotated to the top of the hopper of the seeder body 1, so that the material accumulated inside the material guiding mechanism 2 is introduced into the hopper of the seeder body 1 under the action of gravity. This allows the seeder body 1 to be replenished without being shut down by the operator, thereby improving the sowing efficiency of the seeder body 1 and thus improving the practicality of the device. By activating the positioning mechanisms 3, the positioning mechanisms 3 are engaged with the inside of the material guiding device of the material guiding mechanism 2, thereby restricting the rotational position of the material guiding device inside the material guiding mechanism 2 at the top of the hopper of the seeder body 1.

[0028] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the material guiding mechanism 2 includes a U-shaped fixing plate 201, which is installed on the back of the seeder body 1. An L-shaped connecting plate 202 is rotatably connected inside the U-shaped fixing plate 201, and a storage hopper 205 is rotatably connected inside the L-shaped connecting plate 202. The position of the hopper of the seeder body 1 is located on the rotation path of the storage hopper 205. A motor 203 is installed on one side of the U-shaped fixing plate 201. Through holes are opened on the inner walls of both the left and right sides of the U-shaped fixing plate 201. The output shaft of the motor 203 is installed on one side of the L-shaped connecting plate 202. A slot is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the L-shaped connecting plate 202. The slots on both the left and right sides of the L-shaped connecting plate 202 are... The L-shaped connecting plate 202 has through holes, and bearings 209 are installed inside the two sets of through holes. Rotating rods 204 are installed inside the bearings 209. The storage tank 205 is installed at one of the adjacent ends of the two sets of rotating rods 204. The lower surface of the storage tank 205 has a discharge port. A solenoid valve 207 is installed inside the discharge port of the storage tank 205. A control panel 206 is installed on the back of the storage tank 205. The solenoid valve 207 is installed on the back of the control panel 206. The control panel 206 is electrically connected to the control terminals of the motor 203 and the solenoid valve 207. The access terminal of the control panel 206 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the communication module 208.

[0029] Specifically, the remote control communication module 208 triggers the control panel 206 to start the motor 203, causing the L-shaped connecting plate 202 and the storage bin 205 to rotate during startup. This moves the bottom guide port of the storage bin 205 to the top of the feed inlet of the seeder body 1. Then, the remote control communication module 208 triggers the solenoid valve 207 to open the guide port of the storage bin 205, allowing the material accumulated inside the storage bin 205 to fall into the hopper of the seeder body 1 under gravity. This eliminates the need to shut down the seeder body 1 when replenishing the hopper, thus improving the sowing efficiency of the seeder body 1 and enhancing the practicality of the device. Furthermore, the location of the storage bin 205 at the rear of the seeder body 1 allows for timely replenishment of material when needed, improving safety during the replenishment process.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning mechanism 3 includes two sets of fixing blocks 302, which are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the L-shaped connecting plate 202. A locking block 303 is slidably connected inside the fixing block 302. Electromagnetic blocks 301 are installed on both sides of the storage barrel 205. The control panel 206 is electrically connected to the control terminals of the two sets of electromagnetic blocks 301. A groove is opened on the side of the two sets of rotating rods 204 away from the storage barrel 205. The electromagnetic block 301 is installed inside the groove of the rotating rod 204. The position of the groove inside the rotating rod 204 is located on the sliding path of the locking block 303. A fixing frame 304 is installed on the side of the fixing block 302 away from the L-shaped connecting plate 202. A spring 305 is installed on the inner wall of the fixing frame 304. The end of the spring 305 near the storage barrel 205 is installed on the side of the locking block 303 away from the storage barrel 205.

[0031] Specifically, when the subsequent storage hopper 205 rotates to a position perpendicular to the lower surface of the L-shaped connecting plate 202, the remote control communication module 208 triggers the control panel 206 to activate two sets of electromagnetic blocks 301. During activation, the electromagnetic blocks 301 attract two sets of locking blocks 303, causing them to slide. The ends of the locking blocks 303 closest to the storage hopper 205 are then inserted into the grooves of the two rotating rods 204. This restricts the rotation of the rotating rods 204 within the bearing 209 by the subsequent positioning mechanism 3, thereby minimizing the risk of damage to the storage hopper. The material hopper 205 shakes during the feeding process, causing the subsequent solenoid valve 207 to spill raw materials onto the ground during the guiding process. This improves the stability of the subsequent storage hopper 205 during the feeding process. When the subsequent staff needs to reset and move the storage hopper 205, the remote control communication module 208 triggers the control panel 206 to close the two sets of solenoid blocks 301. This allows the two sets of locking blocks 303 to quickly reset under the elastic potential energy of the two sets of springs 305, thereby minimizing the risk of the opening of the storage hopper 205 facing downwards during the resetting process of the subsequent guiding mechanism 2.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a fixing ring 4 is installed on the lower surface of the storage tank 205. The fixing ring 4 is located at the outer end of the solenoid valve 207, and the position of the lower surface of the fixing ring 4 is parallel to the position of the lower surface of the solenoid valve 207. Specifically, by setting the fixing ring 4 at the outer end of the solenoid valve 207, the fixing ring 4 can wrap and protect the solenoid valve 207, thereby minimizing the risk of damage to the solenoid valve 207 due to impact from foreign objects during use.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, an infrared rangefinder 5 is installed on the lower surface of the fixed ring 4. A groove is formed on the lower surface of the fixed ring 4, and the infrared rangefinder 5 is installed inside the groove of the fixed ring 4. The output end of the infrared rangefinder 5 is electrically connected to the input end of the control panel 206. Specifically, by activating the infrared rangefinder 5, the height of the material accumulated inside the hopper of the seeder body 1 is measured. When the height of the material accumulated inside the hopper of the seeder body 1 approaches the lower surface of the fixed ring 4, the control panel 206 is triggered to shut off the solenoid valve 207, thereby minimizing the risk of the subsequent material guide mechanism 2 overfeeding during the feeding process, which would cause the subsequent material to overflow from the hopper of the seeder body 1.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, two sets of partition plates 6 are installed inside the storage bin 205, and grooves are opened inside the two sets of partition plates 6. Specifically, by installing the two sets of partition plates 6 inside the storage bin 205, the inside of the storage bin 205 is divided into three areas, so that the material distribution inside the storage bin 205 is more uniform and the overall center of gravity is lowered, thereby minimizing the possibility of large-scale shaking of the storage bin 205 during the flipping of the L-shaped connecting plate 202.

[0035] In summary: The remote control communication module 208 triggers the control panel 206 to start the motor 203, causing the motor 203 to rotate the L-shaped connecting plate 202 and the storage hopper 205 during startup. This moves the bottom guide port of the storage hopper 205 to the top of the feed inlet of the seeder body 1. Then, the remote control communication module 208 triggers the solenoid valve 207 to open the guide port of the storage hopper 205, allowing the material accumulated inside the storage hopper 205 to fall into the hopper of the seeder body 1 under gravity. This allows the seeder body 1 to be replenished without shutting it down during subsequent feeding operations. The remote control communication module 208 triggers the control panel 206 to activate two sets of electromagnetic blocks 301. During activation, the electromagnetic blocks 301 attract two sets of locking blocks 303 to slide, inserting the ends of the locking blocks 303 near the storage hopper 205 into the grooves of the two sets of rotating rods 204. This allows the positioning mechanism 3 to restrict the rotation position of the rotating rods 204 within the bearing 209.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
