[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies by proposing a seeding and feeding device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), thereby resolving the problems described above.

[0005] This utility model provides a seeding and feeding device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising:

[0006] The storage bin has a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom.

[0007] The support mechanism is fixedly mounted on the storage bin;

[0008] The material guiding mechanism is located at the material discharge port and is connected to the material discharge port, with a horizontal discharge port at one end;

[0009] The feeding mechanism is located at the end of the feeding guide mechanism and includes a feeding plate, which is used to oscillate and feed the seeds coming out of the outlet.

[0010] The storage bin has a diamond-shaped structure.

The material guiding cylinder is fixedly connected to the material discharge port, and a through hole communicating with the material discharge port is opened on the upper side of the material guiding cylinder. The pushing component is disposed inside the material guiding cylinder. The arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the end of the material guiding cylinder through an annular plate. The material pushing plate has a fan-shaped structure; multiple pushing blades are vertically arranged on the outer ring of the material pushing plate.

[0012] The pushing component includes a drive motor and a spiral pushing blade. The spiral pushing blade is rotatably disposed inside the guide cylinder, and the drive motor is disposed at one end of the guide cylinder. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the spiral pushing blade through a coupling.

[0013] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a baffle plate, a feeding motor, and two meshing transmission gears. The baffle plate is connected to the arc plate, the feeding motor is fixedly mounted on the baffle plate, and the feeding plate is rotatably mounted on the baffle plate via a rotating shaft. The two transmission gears are respectively connected to the feeding motor and the rotating shaft.

[0014] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a baffle plate, a feeding motor, and a swing mechanism. The baffle plate is connected to the arc plate, the feeding motor is fixedly mounted on the baffle plate, and the feeding plate is rotatably mounted on the baffle plate via a rotating shaft.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To better understand the structure, functional features, and advantages of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0031] Example:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a seeding and feeding device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising:

[0033] The storage bin 1 has a feed inlet at its upper end and a discharge outlet 11 at its lower end;

[0034] Support mechanism 2 is fixedly mounted on storage box 1;

[0035] The material guiding mechanism 3 is located at the material discharge port 11 and is connected to the material discharge port 11. One end of the mechanism is provided with a horizontal discharge port 34.

[0036] The feeding mechanism 4 is located at the end of the feeding mechanism 3, and includes a feeding plate 41. The feeding plate 41 is used to oscillate and feed the seeds coming out of the discharge port 34.

[0037] The storage bin 1 has a rhomboid structure, and a rectangular through hole is provided in the middle of the rhomboid structure.

[0038] Furthermore, the discharge port 34 of this utility model can be opened and closed by setting opening and closing doors that open to both sides.

[0039] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 This utility model's fan-shaped aerial seeding device is mounted on the aerial seeding trajectory of a drone during flight, enabling vertical material drop or material scattering to both sides.

[0040] See Figures 3 to 5 The material guiding mechanism 3 of this utility model includes a material guiding cylinder 31, an arc plate 32, and a pushing component 33. The material guiding cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the discharge port 11, and a through hole communicating with the discharge port 11 is opened on the upper side of the material guiding cylinder 31. The pushing component 33 is disposed inside the material guiding cylinder 31. The arc plate 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the material guiding cylinder 31 through an annular plate.

[0041] See Figure 3 The material plate has a fan-shaped structure, and the arc-shaped plate 32 is connected above the fan-shaped structure.

[0042] See Figure 3 Multiple blades 412 are vertically arranged on the outer ring of the feeding plate 41. The multiple blades 412 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fan-shaped structure so that the seeds coming out of the discharge port 34 can be evenly spread to both sides by the blades 412.

[0043] See Figure 5 The pushing component 33 includes a drive motor 331 and a spiral pushing blade 332. The spiral pushing blade 332 is rotatably disposed inside the guide cylinder 31. The drive motor 331 is disposed at one end of the guide cylinder 31. The output end of the drive motor 331 is connected to the spiral pushing blade 332 through a coupling. The drive motor 331 drives the spiral pushing plate to rotate to push the material from the discharge port 11.

[0044] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a baffle plate 42, a feeding motor 43, and two meshing transmission gears. The baffle plate 42 is connected to the arc-shaped plate 32. The feeding motor 43 is fixedly mounted on the baffle plate 42, and the feeding plate 41 is rotatably mounted on the baffle plate 42 via a rotating shaft 411. The two transmission gears are respectively connected to the feeding motor 43 and the rotating shaft 411. The feeding motor 43 is a motor with forward and reverse rotation functions, so that the feeding plate 41 can swing left and right, that is, swing back and forth to both sides, by the forward and reverse rotation of the feeding motor 43.

[0045] As another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the difference between the feeding mechanism 4 in this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the feeding mechanism 4 includes a baffle plate 42, a feeding motor 43, and a swing mechanism 44. The baffle plate 42 is connected to the arc plate 32, the feeding motor 43 is fixedly mounted on the baffle plate 42, and the feeding plate 41 is rotatably mounted on the baffle plate 42 via a rotating shaft 411. The output end of the feeding motor 43 is slidably connected to the rotating shaft 411 via the swing mechanism 44. In this example, the unidirectional rotating feeding motor 43 enables the swing mechanism 44 to control the feeding plate 41 to swing left and right.

[0046] See Figure 6 The swing mechanism 44 includes a rotating rod 441 and a swing rod 442. The rotating rod 441 is connected to the output end of the feeding motor 43. One end of the swing rod 442 is hinged to the rotating rod 441. A guide sliding hole 4111 is provided on the rotating shaft 411. The other end of the swing rod 442 is slidably located in the guide sliding hole 4111. The feeding motor 43 rotates to drive the rotating rod 441 to rotate, thereby causing the swing rod 442 to swing, so that the rotating shaft 411, which is slidably connected to the swing rod 442, rotates left and right, thereby realizing the left and right swing of the baffle plate 42. In this embodiment, the feeding motor 43 does not need to control the left and right swing of the feeding plate 41 by forward and reverse rotation.

[0047] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support mechanism 2 includes a fixed frame 21 and a support frame 22. The fixed frame 21 is a square frame structure and is fixedly installed on the storage box 1. The support frame 22 is welded to both sides of the bottom of the fixed frame 21 so that it can be placed stably on the ground.

[0048] Furthermore, this utility model also includes a storage battery, which is disposed on one side of the baffle plate 42 to supply power to the feeding motor 43 and the drive motor 331. A controller can also be used to control the feeding motor 43 and the drive motor 331 separately, enabling them to operate according to aerial seeding requirements. Since the controller and storage battery are conventional and existing technologies, their structure and working principle will not be described in detail.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the seeding and feeding device is mounted on the drone through the mounting device. After the drone transports the seeding and feeding device to the planting area, the drive motor 331 is started to control the spiral pusher blade 332 to rotate, and the seeds in the storage box 1 are pushed to the discharge port 34 through the discharge port 11. During this process, the feeding motor 43 controls the feeding plate 41 to swing left and right to make the seeds fall. During the process, the feeding plate 412 on the feeding plate 41 swings the falling seeds on both sides to scatter the seeds.

[0050] As another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the difference between the feeding mechanism in this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the feeding mechanism includes a baffle plate, a feeding motor, and a swinging mechanism. The baffle plate is connected to the arc-shaped plate, the feeding motor is fixedly mounted on the baffle plate, and the feeding plate is rotatably mounted on the baffle plate via a rotating shaft. The output end of the feeding motor is slidably connected to the rotating shaft via the swinging mechanism. In this example, the unidirectional rotating feeding motor enables the swinging mechanism to control the feeding plate to swing left and right.

[0051] See Figure 6 The swing mechanism includes a rotating rod and a swing arm. The rotating rod is connected to the output end of the feeding motor, and one end of the swing arm is hinged to the rotating rod. A guide hole is provided on the rotating shaft, and the other end of the swing arm slides within the guide hole. The feeding motor rotates to drive the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the swing arm to swing, causing the rotating shaft, which is slidably connected to the swing arm, to rotate left and right, thereby realizing the left and right swing of the baffle plate. In this embodiment, the feeding motor does not need to control the left and right swing of the feeding plate by forward and reverse rotation.

[0052] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support mechanism includes a fixed frame and a support frame. The fixed frame is a square frame structure and is fixedly installed on the storage box. The support frame is welded to both sides of the bottom of the fixed frame so that it can be placed stably on the ground, so that the drone can replace the seeding and feeding device after the seeds have been sown by attaching the frame.

[0053] Furthermore, this utility model also includes a storage battery, which is disposed on one side of the baffle plate to supply power to the feeding motor and the drive motor. A controller can also be used to separately control the feeding motor and the drive motor, enabling them to operate according to the aerial seeding requirements. Since the controller and storage battery are conventional and existing technologies, their structure and working principle will not be described in detail.

[0054] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the seeding and feeding device is mounted on the drone through the mounting device. After the drone transports the seeding and feeding device to the planting area, it starts the drive motor to control the rotation of the spiral pusher blades, pushing the seeds in the storage box through the dropping port to the discharge port. During this process, the feeding motor controls the feeding plate to swing left and right to make the seeds fall. During the falling process, the feeding plate is used to swing the falling seeds on both sides to scatter the seeds.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technology of this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this technical solution.
