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.
[0043] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrically controlled direct-insertion precision seeder to solve the problems existing in the prior art. The seeding process is electrically controlled, simple to operate, and can achieve precision seeding.
[0044] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0045] like Figures 1-14As shown, this utility model provides an electrically controlled direct-insertion precision seeder, including a parallel four-bar linkage, a seeder main frame 2, a duckbill mechanism, and a seed tube 1. The parallel four-bar linkage includes a connecting rod 20, a vertically arranged bearing seat 21, and a crank 22. The crank 22 includes a vertically arranged driving crank and a driven crank. The bearing seat 21 is fixed to the seeder, and a rotating shaft 19, which is connected to the drive mechanism of the seeder, passes through the bearing seat 21. One end of the driving crank is fixedly connected to the upper rotating shaft 19, and the other end is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 20. One end of the driven crank is connected to the upper rotating shaft 19. The lower rotating shaft 19 is fixedly connected, and its other end is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 20. A photoelectric rotary encoder 18 is installed on the rotating shaft 19 at the upper end of the parallel four-bar linkage. The photoelectric rotary encoder 18 can sense the inner angular displacement of the rotating shaft 19 and transmit the pulse signal to the control module. In this embodiment, the photoelectric rotary encoder 18 is a 3806B photoelectric rotary encoder 18. The photoelectric rotary encoder 18 senses the corresponding inner angular displacement of the rotating shaft 19 and transmits the pulse signal to the control module through the communication module. The communication module is a 485 communication module, and the circuit is as follows: Figure 11 As shown, this is used to exchange information with the absolute encoder, and the button is used to set the initial 0° position. The control module includes a power supply circuit, a control circuit (control unit), a signal conversion circuit, a stepper motor drive module circuit, an electric actuator drive module circuit, a status display circuit, and an OLED display module. Figure 9 As shown, the control unit uses an STM32 microcontroller. The power supply circuit uses an STM32 microcontroller step-down power supply circuit, converting 12V power to 5V to power the microcontroller's minimum system, as shown below. Figure 10 As shown.
[0046] The signal conversion circuit, the LED display screen, the power supply circuit, the stepper motor drive module circuit, and the electric actuator drive module circuit are all connected to the control unit.
[0047] The signal conversion circuit is used to convert the pulse signal to obtain the converted pulse signal.
[0048] The control circuit is used to output a switch signal according to the converted pulse signal, and output it to the stepper motor drive module circuit or the electric actuator drive module circuit; the switch signal is a turn-out command, a turn-back command, a push-out command, or a pull-back command.
[0049] The stepper motor drive module circuit is used to drive the stepper motor to rotate according to the rotation command or the return command. The stepper motor drive module circuit is as follows: Figure 12 As shown.
[0050] The electric actuator drive module circuit is used to drive the electric actuator to extend or retract according to the extend command or the retract command. The electric actuator drive module circuit is as follows: Figure 13 As shown.
[0051] The LED display screen is used to show the current rotation angle of the connecting rod.
[0052] The seeder operates by using two cranks 22 to drive the connecting rod 20 in a circular motion. The seeder is a known structure, so it will not be described in detail. The rotary encoder 18 compiles the rotation information into pulse signals and transmits them to the STM32 microcontroller control integration module. The OLED display module integrated on the microcontroller module is used to display the current rotation angle of the connecting rod 20 and assist the controller in completing the next instruction. The signal conversion circuit converts the pulse signals and transmits them to the control circuit. The control circuit then transmits the switch signals to the seeding module and the electric actuator 10 respectively. The electric actuator 10 is an IP60 DC electric actuator.
[0053] The side wall of the seed tube 1 is connected to the connecting rod 20 by a buckle and can move synchronously with the connecting rod 20; the bottom of the seed tube 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the main frame 2 of the seeder and communicates with the seed dispensing chamber, and can deliver corn seeds into the seed dispensing chamber; the duckbill mechanism is set at the bottom of the main frame 2 of the seeder and communicates with the bottom opening of the seed dispensing chamber. The duckbill mechanism includes an electric push rod 10, which can receive signals from the control module and drive the bottom of the duckbill mechanism to open or close. The main frame 2 of the seeder has a seed metering chamber, which contains a seed metering module. The seed metering module includes a seed metering shaft 14 and a stepper motor 3. The stepper motor 3 is connected to a TB6600 motor driver. After the parallel four-bar linkage rotates from its initial position to a certain angle, the TB6600 motor driver receives a pulse signal from the control circuit and drives the stepper motor 3 to rotate the seed metering shaft 14, completing one rotation-return process and delivering the seeds to the duckbill mechanism. The duckbill mechanism is equipped with a photoelectric sensor 81 to monitor seed drop. When a missed seed is detected, the seed metering shaft 14 is controlled to rotate and return to its original position to complete a replanting. At this time, the seeds are waiting in the duckbill mechanism for the movable duckbill 7 to open and fall into the hole. The movable duckbill 7 is driven to open and close by an IP60 electric push rod 10. When the parallel four-bar linkage drives the duckbill mechanism to complete the hole-making process, the electric push rod 10 is pushed out, causing the movable duckbill 7 to open, allowing the seeds to fall into the hole by their own gravity. Then the electric push rod 10 is pulled back, causing the movable duckbill 7 to close, completing one seed metering process.
[0054] In one specific embodiment, the seed metering module further includes a seed brush 16 and a barb block 17. The seed brush 16 is mounted on the main frame 2 of the seeder and is located on one side of the seed metering shaft 14. The end of the seed brush 16 has a bevel, and the bevel end is connected to the surface of the seed metering shaft 14. The seed metering shaft 14 is rotatably engaged with the main frame 2 of the seeder. The seed metering shaft 14 is provided with a seed metering groove 14-1 and a seed unloading groove 14-2, and the seed unloading groove 14-2 is connected to the rear end of the seed metering groove 14-1. The seed metering groove 14-1 and the seed unloading groove 14-2 can pass through the bevel end of the seed brush 16 in sequence. The barb block 17 is located at the inner bottom of the seed tube 1 and is connected to the seed metering shaft 1. Between the shafts 14, the inner side of the barbed block 17 is provided with a smooth arc surface, which can guide the seeds in the seed dispensing chamber to the seed dispensing groove 14-1. The bottom of the barbed block 17 is made of flexible material, and an arched hole is opened at the bottom of the barbed block 17. When the seed dispensing shaft 14 rotates, the seeds that are not fully filled will be ejected from the seed unloading groove 14-2 under the action of the seed brush 16. The lower end of the barbed block that contacts the seed dispensing shaft 14 is made of flexible TPU material and has an arched hole to facilitate seed ejection, avoiding the damage and missed sowing caused by the squeezing and jamming of seeds that are not fully filled, thus effectively ensuring the integrity of the seeds and improving the sowing quality.
[0055] In this embodiment, the seeding module also includes a Hall proximity switch 12 and a strong magnetic sheet 15, namely, a seeding shaft return Hall detection module, the circuit of which is as follows: Figure 14 As shown, this is used to detect the position of the seed metering shaft to prevent it from failing to return to its initial position after work due to seed jamming. One end of the seed metering shaft 14 is connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to a boss. The side wall of the boss has a groove, and a strong magnetic sheet 15 is placed in the groove. The Hall proximity switch 12 is fixed to the main frame 2 of the seeder. In the initial state, the strong magnetic sheet 15 is parallel to the sensing surface of the Hall proximity switch 12. The Hall proximity switch 12 is fixed to the main frame 2 of the seeder by two thin nuts. When the seed metering shaft 14 completes seed metering and returns to its original position, and the Hall proximity switch 12 senses the strong magnetic sheet 15 and the indicator light illuminates, the stepper motor 3 stops rotating and completes the return, and the seed metering shaft 14 returns to its initial position.
[0056] Linear bearings 5 are provided on both sides of the main frame 2 of the seeder. A guide rod 4 is movably inserted through the linear bearing 5. The bottom of the guide rod 4 is fixedly connected to the seeder limiting base 6. An extension rod is connected to the top of the guide rod 4. A return spring 11 is fixedly connected between the extension rod and the bottom plate of the main frame 2 of the seeder. A duckbill mechanism is provided at the bottom of the bottom plate of the main frame 2 of the seeder. A through hole for the duckbill mechanism to pass through is opened on the seeder limiting base 6. The duckbill mechanism includes a fixed duckbill 8, a movable duckbill 7, and a torsion spring for keeping the movable duckbill 7 and the fixed duckbill 8 engaged. An electric push rod 10 is fixedly installed on the main frame 2 of the seeder. A push block 9 is fixedly connected to the telescopic shaft at the bottom of the electric push rod 10. A fixed rod 13 is provided on one side of the push block 9. A lever is hinged to the movable duckbill 7. A strip groove is provided at the end of the lever away from the movable duckbill 7. The fixed rod 13 is rotatably connected to the strip groove and can slide in the strip groove. The movable duckbill 7 remains normally closed under the self-locking action of the electric push rod 10. When the electric push rod 10 pushes out, the push block 9 moves downward, and the fixed rod 13 moves along the strip groove during the movement. At the same time, it drives the lever to move diagonally downward away from the fixed duckbill 8. As a result, the movable duckbill 7 rotates counterclockwise around the hinge axis at a certain angle, the duckbill opens, and the seed falls into the hole by its own gravity. Then the electric push rod 10 is pulled back, causing the movable duckbill 7 to rotate clockwise until the duckbill closes.
[0057] In this embodiment, a side pipe 111 is provided on one side of the upper part of the seed tube 1, and a servo motor 112 is installed on the top of the seed tube 1. The output end of the servo motor 112 is connected to a coaxially arranged straight shaft 113 through a coupling. The straight shaft 113 is located inside the seed tube 1, and a conveying blade 114 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the straight shaft 113. The conveying blade 114 is used for conveying corn seeds inside the seed tube 1.
[0058] In the initial state of operation, the movable duckbill 7 is normally closed under the self-locking action of the electric push rod 10, cooperating with the fixed duckbill 8. The bottom end of the duckbill is located at the upper end of the seeder limiting base 6. The reset spring 11 has no elastic potential energy. The strong magnetic sheet 15 on the seed metering shaft 14 is parallel to the sensing surface of the Hall proximity switch and is distributed horizontally. The seeds in the seed metering chamber are filled into the seed metering groove 14-1 of the seed metering shaft 14. The connecting rod 20 of the parallel four-bar linkage is perpendicular to the ground. At this time, the rotary encoder 18 is zeroed and the angle is displayed as 0° on the OLED display screen.
[0059] The seeder moves forward. When a direct-insertion seeding operation needs to be completed, the drive mechanism on the seeder drives the connecting rod 20 and the entire seeder in this embodiment to rotate counterclockwise downwards via two cranks 22. The drive mechanism includes an engine and a sprocket connected to the output shaft of the engine. The sprocket is connected to a drive gear via a closed rack and pinion transmission. The drive gear is connected to the drive crank via a transmission shaft. This drive mechanism is known technology and will not be described in detail. When the crank 22 is at a 45° angle to the ground, the rotary encoder 18 outputs a pulse signal to the 485 communication module. After the signal is compiled by the communication module and sent to the STM32 microcontroller, the STM32 microcontroller issues a rotation command to the stepper motor to drive the motor. The stepper motor 3 output shaft drives the seed metering shaft 14 to rotate 90° counterclockwise. Seeds pre-filled in the seed metering trough 14-1 fall smoothly into the closed beak under the drive of the seed metering shaft, waiting for the beak to open and fall into the seed hole. Seeds not fully filled are cleared out of the seed metering trough 14-1 by the seed brush 16 and enter the seed unloading trough 14-2. Then, the STM32 microcontroller sends a rotation command to the stepper motor driver, controlling the stepper motor 3 output shaft to drive the seed metering shaft 14 to rotate clockwise until the seed metering shaft returns to its original position. When the Hall proximity switch 12 senses the magnetic plate 15 and the indicator light illuminates, the stepper motor 3 stops rotating and completes its return to its original position. During this process, the seeds cleared into the seed unloading trough 14-2 are removed. The seeds are gently discharged into the seed metering chamber, while new seeds re-enter the seed metering trough to await planting. As the seeper continues to descend until the lower end of the seeper limiting base 6 touches the soil, the seeper main frame 2 drives the duckbill downwards and inserts it into the soil to complete the hole-making. The return spring 11 is stretched, and the guide rod 4 and the seeper limiting base 6 remain fixed and relatively stationary. When the crank rotates to 180° and is perpendicular to the ground again, the seeper reaches the bottom and completes the hole-making. At this time, the rotary encoder 18 outputs a pulse signal to the 485 communication module. After the signal is compiled by the communication module and sent to the STM32 microcontroller, the STM32 microcontroller issues a push command to the electric actuator driver, controlling the electric actuator 10 to push out. The push block 9, used to fix the top rod of the electric push rod 10 and the fixed rod 13 on the movable duckbill 7, is pushed down vertically. The movable duckbill 7 rotates counterclockwise around the hinge axis at a certain angle, the duckbill opens, and the seed falls into the hole by its own weight. Then the electric push rod 10 is pulled back, driving the movable duckbill 7 to rotate clockwise until the duckbill closes. As the seed planter's limiting base 6 gradually rises and leaves the ground, the reset spring 11 pulls the seed planter's main frame 2 and the duckbill back to the initial state. When the parallel four-bar linkage 20 is perpendicular to the ground again, the rotary encoder 18 is zeroed and the angle is displayed as 0° on the OLED display screen. In this embodiment, the seed planter returns to the initial state, completing one direct insertion seeding operation.
[0060] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
