[0025] This utility model embodiment provides an adjustable, equally spaced crop seed planter, such as... Figure 1-7 As shown, the adjustable equidistant crop seed planter includes: a seeding tube 1 for single-seed sowing; a block 3 disposed on one side of the seeding tube 1 to block the sowing port 2 on the seeding tube 1, and a moving mechanism for moving the block 3 is provided on the seeding tube 1 and the block 3; and a measuring mechanism 5 assembled on the seeding tube 1 for measuring the seed sowing spacing.
[0026] In this embodiment, during sowing, the overall length of the measuring mechanism 5 is first adjusted according to the sowing spacing requirements between different seeds. The worker places one seed into the sowing tube 1 at a time, then inserts the sowing tube 1 into the soil. Subsequently, the moving mechanism moves the stop 3 to open the sowing opening 2. The worker then pulls the sowing tube 1 upwards, and the seed is discharged through the sowing opening 2 and sown into the soil. The moving mechanism then releases the stop 3 to return it to its original position, covering the sowing opening 2. After sowing one seed, the worker moves the sowing tube 1, aligning one end of the measuring mechanism with the position where the seed was just sown. The second seed is sown again following the steps described above, and this process is repeated for different seeds. This allows for accurate measurement of seed spacing, effectively reducing sowing spacing errors and improving sowing accuracy and uniformity. This provides more suitable spatial conditions for crop growth, promoting crop growth and development, and ultimately increasing crop yield and quality. The entire seeder allows for single-seed sowing while effectively ensuring accurate and uniform sowing spacing, providing more suitable spatial conditions for crop growth, promoting crop growth and development, and potentially increasing crop yield and quality.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the seeding tube 1 includes a connecting tube 101 and an adjusting tube 102, the adjusting tube 102 is disposed on the connecting tube 101, and the seeding port 2 is opened on the connecting tube 101.
[0028] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the adjusting tube 102 and the connecting tube 101 facilitates the adjustment of the overall length of the seeding tube 1, making it easier for operators of different heights to operate, making it more comfortable and flexible for them to use. In addition, a funnel is provided at the end of the adjusting tube 102 to facilitate the placement of seeds into the adjusting tube 102.
[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the measuring mechanism 5 includes: a screw 501 fixedly installed on the connecting pipe 101; a measuring rod 502 slidably installed on the screw 501, wherein two nuts 503 are threadedly installed on the screw 501, and the two nuts 503 respectively abut against the two sides of the measuring rod 502; and a reference rod 504 fixedly installed on the connecting pipe 101 and provided with a reference scale, wherein the reference rod 504 and the measuring rod 502 are slidably connected.
[0030] In this embodiment, firstly, according to the sowing spacing requirements between different seeds, the overall length of the measuring mechanism 5 is adjusted, and the two nuts 503 are rotated to disengage from the sides of the measuring rod 502. Then, the position of the measuring rod 502 on the screw 501 and the reference rod 504 is adjusted. By using the reference scale on the reference rod 504, the distance between the measuring rod 502 and the connecting tube 101 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the sowing distance between the two seeds. After adjustment, the two nuts 503 are rotated to abut against the sides of the measuring rod 502, thereby fixing the position of the measuring rod 502 after adjustment. In use, the operator inserts the connecting tube 101 into the soil, at which point the measuring rod 502 is also deeply inserted. When a worker plants a seed in the connecting tube 101, they simultaneously remove the connecting tube 101 and the measuring rod 502 from the soil. The measuring rod 502 leaves a mark after being removed. When planting a second seed, the worker inserts the connecting tube 101 back into the soil where the measuring rod 502 was just inserted, and then inserts the measuring rod 502 back into the soil again. This process is repeated for different seeds, allowing for accurate measurement of seed spacing. This effectively reduces spacing errors, improves planting accuracy and uniformity, provides more suitable spatial conditions for crop growth, and promotes crop growth and development, ultimately increasing crop yield and quality.
[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the moving mechanism includes: a connecting rod 6 fixedly installed on the stop block 3, a pull rod 7 provided on the connecting rod 6, a compression block 9 fixedly sleeved on the pull rod 7, and a spring 10 sleeved on the pull rod 7; and a mounting block 8 fixedly installed on the adjusting tube 102, the mounting block 8 and the pull rod 7 being slidably connected, and a handle 11 fixedly installed on both the mounting block 8 and the compression block 9.
[0032] In this embodiment, when using the moving mechanism, the operator grasps the two handles 11 with their hands and applies force to bring the lower handle 11 and the upper handle 11 closer together. At this time, the lower handle 11 moves the compression block 9 on the pull rod 7 to compress the spring 10, which in turn moves the connecting rod 6 and the stop block 3 upward. At this time, the sowing port 2 opens, and the operator pulls the sowing tube 1 upward. The seeds are discharged through the sowing port 2 and sown into the soil. Then, the operator releases the grip on the lower handle 11, and the compressed spring 10 returns to its original position, thereby causing the stop block 3 to return to its original position and block the sowing port 2, which facilitates the subsequent sowing of seeds.
[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a guide block 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the connecting pipe 101. The guide block 12 is slidably connected to the pull rod 7, and the guide block 12 is used to guide the movement of the pull rod 7.
[0034] In this embodiment, the guide block 12 can guide the movement of the pull rod 7, thereby improving the stability of the pull rod 7 when it moves.
[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, an installation rod 13 is fixedly installed on the adjusting pipe 102, and a placement frame 14 is fixedly installed on both the connecting pipe 101 and the pull rod 7. The installation rod 13 and the placement frame 14 are slidably connected. A lead screw 15 is threadedly installed on each of the two placement frames 14, and a positioning block 16 for fixing the connecting rod 6 and the installation rod 13 through the positioning hole 17 is fixedly installed on each of the two lead screws 15.
[0036] In this embodiment, when adjusting the overall length of the seeding tube 1, firstly, rotate the two lead screws 15 to move the two positioning blocks 16 and disengage them from the corresponding positioning holes 17, thus disengaging the connecting rod 6 and the mounting rod 13 from their fixation. Adjust the relative position of the pull rod 7 and the connecting rod 6 by a certain distance, and simultaneously adjust the connecting tube 101 and the adjusting tube 102 by the same distance. After adjustment, rotate the two lead screws 15 in the opposite direction to connect the two positioning blocks 16, the mounting rod 13, and the corresponding positioning holes 17 on the connecting rod 6, thereby fixing the connecting rod 6 and the mounting rod 13 again. This allows for adjustment of the overall length of the seeding tube 1, making it more suitable for workers of different heights, providing greater comfort and flexibility for the workers.
[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of positioning holes 17 are provided at equal intervals on the mounting rod 13 and the connecting rod 6, and both the positioning holes 17 and the positioning blocks 16 are circular.
[0038] In this embodiment, multiple positioning holes 17 are provided at equal intervals on the mounting rod 13 and the connecting rod 6, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the pull rod 7 and the connecting rod 6, as well as the same distance adjustment between the connecting pipe 101 and the adjusting pipe 102.
[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a ball bearing is nested in a sliding hole on the measuring rod 502 that is slidably connected to the reference rod 504, and the ball bearing is in contact with the reference rod 504.
[0040] In this embodiment, a ball bearing is nested in the sliding hole that is slidably connected to the reference rod 504 on the measuring rod 502. The ball bearing is in contact with the reference rod 504, so that the measuring rod 502 can only move in one direction. In this way, the sliding connection between the measuring rod 502 and the screw 501 will not contact the screw 501, thus avoiding wear on the screw 501.
[0041] In summary, compared with related technologies, the entire seeder allows for single-seed sowing, effectively ensuring the accuracy and uniformity of the sowing spacing. This provides more suitable spatial conditions for crop growth, which is beneficial to crop growth and development, and ultimately improves crop yield and quality.
