[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0018] This utility model discloses a high-efficiency sowing device for konjac cultivation. The high-efficiency sowing device for konjac cultivation mainly includes a connecting frame 1, a support rod 2, a traveling wheel 3, a storage hopper 4, a sowing mechanism 5, a supporting roller mechanism 6, a furrowing shovel 7, and a soil covering plate 8. The connecting frame 1 is installed at the top of the support rod 2, the traveling wheel 3 is rotatably installed at both ends of the support rod 2, the storage hopper 4 is installed on the support rod 2, and the storage hopper 4 has a hollow structure inside. The sowing mechanism 5 is installed on the support rod 2 and located at the bottom of the storage hopper 4. The supporting roller mechanism 6 is installed at the bottom of the support rod 2, the furrowing shovel 7 is installed at the front end of the sowing mechanism 5, and the soil covering plate 8 is installed at the end of the supporting roller mechanism 6 via a chain. There are 4 sets of each of the following components: storage hopper 4, sowing mechanism 5, supporting roller mechanism 6, furrowing shovel 7, and soil covering plate 8.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the support roller mechanism 6 includes a connecting block 61, a diagonal brace 62, a spring 63, a support frame 64, a front roller 65, and a rear roller 66. The connecting block 61 is installed at the bottom end of the support rod 2, the diagonal brace 62 is hinged to the connecting block 61, the top end of the spring 63 abuts against the connecting block 61, and the bottom end abuts against the diagonal brace 62. The support frame 64 is installed at the bottom end of the diagonal brace 62 and is hinged to the diagonal brace 62. The front roller 65 and the rear roller 66 are rotatably installed on the support frame 64.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the sowing mechanism 5 includes a rotating shaft 51, a feeding wheel 52, a corrugated pipe 53, a receiving hopper 54, and a conveying pipe 55. The rotating shaft 51 is rotatably mounted on the support rod 2, passing through the storage hopper 4. The feeding wheel 52 is mounted on the rotating shaft 51 and located inside the storage hopper 4. The feeding wheel 52 has a receiving hole 521. The corrugated pipe 53 is installed at the bottom of the storage hopper 4, directly below the feeding wheel 52. The receiving hopper 54 and the conveying pipe 55 are mounted on the support frame 64, and the corrugated pipe 53 extends into the receiving hopper 54. The entire device is connected to the drive unit via a connecting frame. The device is connected to the drive unit. When the device moves forward, it drives the rotating shaft 51 to rotate. The feeding wheel 52 rotates synchronously. The receiving hole 521 on the feeding wheel 52 receives seeds at the bottom of the storage hopper 4. Each rotation of the hole carries a fixed number of seeds, quantitatively controlling the sowing density. The seeds fall from the receiving hole 521 into the corrugated pipe 53. The flexible structure of the corrugated pipe 53 can buffer the impact of the falling seeds and avoid damage. The seeds slide into the receiving hopper 54 through the corrugated pipe 53, and then fall directly into the planting trench just dug by the trenching shovel 7 through the conveying pipe 55, avoiding direct sunlight from affecting the seed activity.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the furrowing shovel 7 is installed at the front end of the conveying pipe 55; the seeds fall from the receiving hopper 54 through the conveying pipe 55 into the furrow opened by the furrowing shovel 7, thus completing the sowing work.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the storage hopper 4 is configured with an inverted conical structure, which helps the seeds to gather smoothly towards the bottom inside the storage hopper 4.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the walking wheel 3 is provided with anti-slip ridges 31; the anti-slip ridges 31 can increase the friction with the ground, making the device more stable during walking.

[0024] Work process:

[0025] The device is connected to the drive unit via the connecting frame 1. After connection, the device is moved to the field where konjac needs to be planted. At this time, the traveling wheels 3, front rollers 65, and rear rollers 66 are on the ground. The anti-slip ridges 31 on the traveling wheels 3 can increase the friction with the ground, making the device more stable during movement and facilitating its movement to the desired planting location. The konjac seeds are loaded into the storage hopper 4. Since the storage hopper 4 is designed with an inverted cone shape, it helps the seeds to gather smoothly to the bottom inside the storage hopper 4. When the device moves forward, the furrowing shovel 7 located at the front end of the planting mechanism 5 contacts the ground. As the device continues to move forward, the trenching shovel 7 digs trenches in the ground for planting konjac, preparing for subsequent sowing. Simultaneously, the traveling wheel 3 moves forward, driving the rotating shaft 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding wheel 52 to rotate. The feeding wheel 52 rotates inside the storage hopper 4, and the evenly distributed receiving holes 521 on its surface rotate into the bottom of the storage hopper 4. Each hole precisely picks up a single seed, which enters the receiving hole 521. When the receiving hole 521 rotates with the feeding wheel 52 above the corrugated pipe 53 at the bottom of the storage hopper 4, the seed falls into the corrugated pipe due to gravity. In section 53, the seeds slide down the corrugated pipe 53 into the part extending into the receiving hopper 54. Finally, the seeds fall from the receiving hopper 54 through the conveying pipe 55 into the furrows opened by the furrowing shovel 7, completing the sowing work. During the forward movement of the sowing device, the supporting roller mechanism 6 continues to work. The supporting frame 64 is hinged to the diagonal brace 62. When encountering uneven ground during movement, the spring 63 compresses or extends, causing the front roller 65 and the rear roller 66 to float up and down, keeping the supporting frame 64 stable. The spring 63 can provide a certain amount of cushioning, allowing the supporting roller mechanism 6 to move on uneven ground. It can also work well on the ground. The receiving hopper 54 and the conveying pipe 55 are fixed on the support frame 64 and dynamically adjusted with the support frame 64 to ensure that the seeds fall into the bottom of the ditch and avoid deviation. As the device moves forward, the soil covering plate 8 installed at the end of the support roller mechanism 6 covers the soil next to it onto the sown ditch, thereby completing the soil covering operation. The device integrates ditching, sowing and soil covering functions to realize continuous automated operation of konjac planting. The four independent units (ditching shovel, sowing mechanism and soil covering plate) are arranged horizontally. A single movement can complete the planting of four rows of konjac, which is more than 4 times more efficient than manual labor.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
