Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to a ridging and shaping device for ridging operations. Background Technology
[0002] The ridging and sowing machines widely used in my country typically have combined ridging and sowing functions, enabling integrated ridging and sowing operations with advantages such as high efficiency and low operating costs. However, when used in hilly and mountainous areas, due to small plots, heavy clay soil, and relatively small (low-power) tractors, these machines often require miniaturization and weight reduction. Especially in applications requiring combined ridging and sowing operations for crops like peanuts, the height, width, and flatness of the ridges after operation often fail to meet agronomical requirements, resulting in inconsistent spacing and depth of sown plants, affecting seedling uniformity and consequently, crop yield. To improve sowing results, some ridging and shaping devices have been proposed, such as the Chinese utility model patent application number CN201220369002.4, entitled "A Ridging and Shaping Component." However, existing ridging and shaping devices suffer from complex structures and poor reliability, making it difficult to meet the needs of different working conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] Furthermore, the elastic preload assembly includes an adjusting shaft and an elastic element. The adjusting shaft is movably disposed on the center plane of the frame along the forward direction. One end of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the adjusting shaft, and the other end of the elastic element is connected to the leveler.
[0006] Furthermore, the elastic pretensioning assembly also includes an adjusting plate, an adjusting shaft with adjusting holes spaced apart along the axial direction, the adjusting plate being locked to the adjusting holes by a positioning pin, and one end of the elastic element abutting against the adjusting plate.
