[0002] Seed dispersal is crucial in the ecological restoration and vegetation recovery of natural forests. In the past, seed dispersal in natural forests was often carried out using simple devices or manual sowing.
[0003] In the use of existing technology, firstly, the staff needs to pour the seeds into the hopper of the device. Because the feeding mechanism of this type of device is simple and has only a single discharge port, after the seeds are poured in, they will continuously flow out from the discharge port under the action of gravity. The whole process lacks effective control over the feeding of seeds.
[0004] Existing technologies, in areas with fertile soil and open spaces where a larger quantity of seeds is needed to accelerate vegetation recovery, often result in insufficient seed distribution and slow vegetation recovery due to the limitations of simple devices that cannot increase the seeding rate. Conversely, in areas with complex terrain and difficulties in seed retention, the amount of seed distributed cannot be reduced, leading to significant seed waste and uneven distribution. Therefore, a natural forest seed dispersal aid device is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a natural forest seed dispersal auxiliary device, including a support frame 1. The support frame 1 serves as the supporting structure for the entire device and provides an installation base for other components. Four movable wheels are fixedly connected to the bottom corners of the support frame 1, facilitating movement of the device across different terrains, improving its mobility, and making it easy to transfer to areas where seed dispersal is required. A handrail 5 is fixedly connected to the back of the support frame 1, allowing operators to easily push the device and control its direction of movement, thus improving operational convenience. A rubber sleeve is fixedly fitted onto the handrail 5, increasing friction between the operator's hand and the handrail 5 to prevent slippage and cushioning hand pressure, thereby improving operational comfort.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 A storage box 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 1. The storage box 3 is used to store seeds to be diffused and provides storage space for the seeds. A rotating drum 6 is set below the storage box 3. A feed port 4 is opened on the top of the storage box 3. The feed port 4 facilitates the pouring of seeds into the storage box 3 and is the entrance for the seeds to enter the device. A support rod is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the support frame 1. The support rod supports the motor 2 and ensures the stable installation of the motor 2. The motor 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the support rod. A baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating drum 6. The baffle 10 is circular and can prevent the seeds from being thrown out from the left side during the rotation of the rotating drum 6. The output shaft of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the baffle 10. The rotation of the motor 2 can be transmitted to the rotating drum 6. An intermittent component 8 is set between the rotating drum 6 and the storage box 3.
[0031] Reference Figure 4 - Figure 6The intermittent component 8 enables intermittent seed feeding, controlling the seed feeding rhythm and avoiding large-scale seed feeding at once. The intermittent component 8 includes a distribution plate 805, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating drum 6. The distribution plate 805 rotates with the rotating drum 6 and, through cooperation with the extrusion plate 801, achieves intermittent control of seed feeding. An extension shell 9 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating drum 6. The extension shell 9 provides installation space for components such as the threaded rod 807 and protects the internal structure from external interference. The right side of the extension shell 9 movably penetrates the inner side of the support frame 1 and extends outward. The outer wall of the extension shell 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 1. When the rotating drum 6 rotates... When the extension shell 9 rotates synchronously, it ensures that the support frame 1 provides support and positioning. A threaded rod 807 is threaded through the right side of the extension shell 9. One end of the threaded rod 807 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 6 through a bearing. A knob is fixedly connected to the other end of the threaded rod 807. A limit groove is opened in the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 6. A limit block is fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate 806. The side of the movable plate 806 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit groove through the limit block. The movable plate 806 slides on the inner wall of the limit groove through the limit block, which improves the stability of the movable plate 806 when it moves on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 6, and at the same time prevents the movable plate 806 from falling off the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 6.
[0032] Reference Figure 4 - Figure 6 A movable plate 808 is threadedly fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod 807. The movable plate 808 moves laterally under the drive of the threaded rod 807, and pushes the movable plate 806 to move through the hinge rod 809. The hinge rod 809 is hinged to the left side of the movable plate 808. The hinge rod 809 converts the lateral movement of the movable plate 808 into the outward extension of the movable plate 806, thereby adjusting the position of the movable plate 806. The movable plate 806 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating drum 6. The movable plate 806 cooperates with the material distribution plate 805 to press the extrusion plate 801, thereby controlling the feeding frequency. The feeding rhythm can be changed by adjusting its position. The end of the hinge rod 809 is hinged to the inner side of the movable plate 806.
[0033] Reference Figure 4 - Figure 6The storage box 3 has an opening at the bottom, which provides a discharge channel for the seeds, allowing them to fall onto the rotating drum 6. A chute 803 is provided at the bottom opening of the storage box 3, and an opening / closing plate 802 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute 803. The chute 803 provides a sliding track for the extrusion plate 801 and the opening / closing plate 802. The extrusion plate 801 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the opening / closing plate 802. Under the action of the distribution plate 805 and the movable plate 806, the extrusion plate 801 slides within the chute 803, driving the opening / closing plate 802 to control the seed discharge. The bottom of the extrusion plate 801 is sloped, and the corners of the movable plate 806 and the distribution plate 805 are also sloped. The movable plate 806 and the distribution plate 805 are configured to cooperate with the slope of the extrusion plate 801 through the slope, allowing the distribution plate 805 and the movable plate 806 to smoothly push the extrusion plate 801 to slide.
[0034] Reference Figure 4 The width of the extrusion plate 801 is smaller than that of the opening and closing plate 802. The slide groove 803 is T-shaped. The T-shaped design can prevent the extrusion plate 801 and the opening and closing plate 802 from coming out of the slide groove 803, ensuring their stable sliding. The extrusion plate 801 and the opening and closing plate 802 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 803. When the extrusion plate 801 drives the opening and closing plate 802 to slide, it will not exceed the limit of the slide groove 803, ensuring the normal operation of the device. A spring 804 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 803. The end of the spring 804 is fixedly connected to the side of the opening and closing plate 802. The spring 804 provides a restoring force for the extrusion plate 801 and the opening and closing plate 802. After the material distribution plate 805 passes, the extrusion plate 801 and the opening and closing plate 802 return to their initial positions, realizing intermittent feeding.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 The storage box 3 is equipped with an anti-clogging component, which includes a rotating rod 12. A feeding blade 11 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 12. When the rotating rod 12 rotates, it drives the feeding blade 11 to rotate, stirring and pushing the seeds in the storage box 3 to prevent seed accumulation and blockage, while ensuring that the seeds are fed evenly. The right end of the rotating rod 12 moves through the left side of the storage box 3. The right end of the rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the right inner wall of the storage box 3 through a bearing, ensuring that the rotating rod 12 can rotate smoothly in the storage box 3 and providing support for the rotation of the feeding blade 11. A second pulley is fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating rod 12. A first pulley is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 2. The first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a belt drive. A guide block 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 3. The edge of the guide block 7 is set with an inclined surface. The guide block 7 guides the seeds, allowing them to flow smoothly to the opening at the bottom of the storage box 3, preventing the seeds from accumulating in the storage box 3.
[0036] Working principle: The operator holds the handle 5. The rubber sleeve on the handle 5 effectively increases friction, prevents hand slippage, reduces hand pressure, and improves operating comfort. By pushing the handle 5, the device can be easily moved to the designated location in the natural forest where seed dispersal is needed, using the casters at the four corners of the support frame 1. Seeds are poured into the storage box 3 through the feed inlet 4. The feeding frequency can be adjusted according to the actual seed dispersal requirements. If adjustment is needed, the knob on the threaded rod 807 on the right side of the extension shell 9 is turned. The knob drives the threaded rod 807 to rotate. Since the moving plate 808 is connected to the hinge rod 809 and the movable plate 806, the device can be easily moved to the designated location in the natural forest where seed dispersal is needed. Under the limiting action, the rotation of the threaded rod 807 will cause it to drive the moving plate 808 to move laterally. The moving plate 808 pushes the movable plate 806 to extend outward on the inner wall of the rotating drum 6 through the hinge rod 809. The movable plate 806 slides on the inner wall of the limiting groove through the limiting block until the movable plate 806 is located between each material distribution plate 805. After the equipment start-up and feeding control complete the above operations, the motor 2 is started. The output shaft of the motor 2 starts to rotate, driving the rotating drum 6 to rotate on the one hand, and driving the rotating rod 12 to rotate in the same direction through the transmission of the first pulley, belt and second pulley. During the rotation of the rotating drum 6, the material distribution plates 805 on its surface rotate accordingly. When the material plate 805 rotates to contact the extrusion plate 801, the angled edges of the material plate 805 cooperate with the angled bottom of the extrusion plate 801, causing the material plate 805 to push the extrusion plate 801 to slide within the groove 803. During the sliding process, the extrusion plate 801 compresses the spring 804, causing the spring 804 to store elastic potential energy. After the material plate 805 passes the extrusion plate 801, the extrusion plate 801 will return to its original position under the action of the lateral elastic potential energy of the spring 804. This process is repeated to achieve intermittent seed feeding. When the rotating rod 12 rotates, it drives the feeding blades 11 fixedly sleeved on its surface to rotate. The rotating feeding blades 11 stir and push the seeds in the storage box 3. This allows the seeds to move evenly to the bottom of the storage box 3, achieving uniform feeding. During the seed descent, the guide block 7, fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 3, guides the seeds. The guide block 7 has a sloping edge, allowing the seeds to flow smoothly to the opening at the bottom of the storage box 3. During continuous operation, the operator can adjust the length of the extended movable plate 806 by turning the knob on the threaded rod 807 according to the actual seed diffusion situation, further optimizing the feeding frequency to meet different seed diffusion needs. After the entire seed diffusion operation is completed, the motor 2 is turned off, and the device is moved to a suitable storage location for future use.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
