Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed positioning technology, specifically to a retractable and adjustable seed positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] As the world's largest cotton producer, my country's cotton-growing region in Xinjiang had a planting area of ​​37.4535 million mu (83.22% of the national total) and a total output of 5.391 million tons (90.2% of the national total) in 2022. The cotton industry contributes more than 30% to Xinjiang's economy, but the breeding cycle for new varieties is as long as 8-12 years, involving field identification of tens of thousands of hybrid combinations. Researchers need to arrange the seed row sequence according to specific genetic designs in small-plot trials (such as variety comparison, row and plant nursery, and line nursery).

[0003] Traditional seed placement relies on manual seed arrangement, which has the following core drawbacks: insufficient accuracy: dozens to hundreds of seeds need to be planted in each row, and manual placement is prone to misalignment, leading to deviations in experimental data; low efficiency: only a small number of experimental fields can be arranged per day, which seriously restricts the progress of seed placement in spring; lack of standardization: there is a lack of unified arrangement tools, making it impossible to achieve large-scale, repetitive operations. Therefore, a scalable and adjustable seed positioning device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a retractable and adjustable seed positioning device to solve the problems of low seed arrangement efficiency and insufficient accuracy in the prior art mentioned in the background section.

[0009] Preferably, the lower fixing plate is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, and the upper fixing plate has symmetrically opened vertical mounting holes that penetrate the fixing plate. The mounting holes are provided with mounting bolts inside, and the top of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are both provided with threaded grooves. The mounting bolts are threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the connection between the two second mounting plates is a rotatable connection, and the top of the upper fixing plate and the bottom of the lower fixing plate are both fixedly connected with symmetrically arranged connecting hole plates.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. In this utility model, by setting a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, a fixing plate, a scale, a slider, a sliding frame, a crossbar, a pointer, and a locking assembly, the distance between the crossbars is adjusted according to the seed spacing before using the device, and the crossbars are locked using the locking assembly. When arranging the seeds, the seed bags are placed between multiple crossbars in sequence.

[0014] 3. In this utility model, the second mounting plate and connecting hole plate allow the operator to choose between a single-person single-frame mode or a two-person extended mode. The single-person single-frame mode is suitable when the amount of experimental material is less than fifty portions. The operator rotates the second mounting plate on the right side and then uses wire or screws to fix the second mounting plate inside the connecting hole plate, so that the arrangement can be completed directly on the left frame.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A retractable and adjustable seed positioning device includes symmetrically arranged first mounting plates 1, with vertically arranged second mounting plates 2 on one side of each of the two first mounting plates 1. Horizontally arranged fixing plates 3 are installed at the top and bottom of both the first and second mounting plates 1 and 2. A scale 4 is provided on the front side of each second mounting plate 2. Vertically arranged slide bars 5 are fixedly connected to the sides of the first and second mounting plates 1 and 2 that are close to each other. Slide frames 6 are slidably connected to the outer side of each slide bar 5. A horizontal crossbar 7 is fixedly connected between two slide frames 6. A pointer 8 is fixedly connected to the front side of the slide frame 6 located on the second mounting plate 2 side. A locking assembly 9 is installed on the outer side of the slide frame 6 located on the first mounting plate 1 side. The first and second mounting plates 1 and 2 are identical in shape and size. Multiple slide frames 6 are provided and evenly distributed on the outer side of the slide bars 5. The locking assembly 9 includes a connector fixedly connected to the outer side of the slide frame 6 on the first mounting plate 1. The frame 91 has a threaded cylinder 92 fixedly connected to its inner side. A locking bolt 93 is screwed to the inner side of the threaded cylinder 92. A friction plate 94 is fixedly connected to one end of the locking bolt 93. The side of the friction plate 94 closest to the first mounting plate 1 is tightly fitted to the first mounting plate 1. Through the first mounting plate 1, the second mounting plate 2, the fixing plate 3, the scale 4, the slide bar 5, the slide frame 6, the crossbar 7, the pointer 8, and the locking assembly 9, the distance of the crossbar 7 is adjusted according to the seed spacing before using the device. After adjustment, the crossbar 7 can be locked using the locking assembly 9. When arranging seeds, the seed bags are placed between multiple crossbars 7 in sequence. This design allows the seed bags to form a unique correspondence with the planting code of the experimental record book, eliminating the risk of manual misplacement. The design of the locking assembly 9 and its connecting components allows the spacing of the crossbars 7 to be adjusted according to needs, thereby meeting the requirements of plant spacing differences.

[0026] The lower fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2. The upper fixing plate 3 has symmetrically arranged vertical mounting holes 10 that penetrate the fixing plate 3. The mounting holes 10 are provided with mounting bolts 11 inside. The top of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 are both provided with threaded grooves 12. The mounting bolts 11 are threaded into the inside of the threaded grooves 12. The mounting holes 10, mounting bolts 11 and threaded grooves 12 make the disassembly of the device more convenient and allow multiple crossbars 7 to be added as needed to meet different usage requirements.

[0027] The connection between the two second mounting plates 2 is a rotating connection. The top of the upper fixed plate 3 and the bottom of the lower fixed plate 3 are both fixedly connected with symmetrically arranged connecting hole plates 13. Through the second mounting plates 2 and connecting hole plates 13, the operator can choose between a single-person single-frame mode or a double-person extended mode. The single-person single-frame mode is suitable when the amount of experimental material is less than fifty portions. Rotate the second mounting plate 2 on the right side, and then use wire or screws to insert into the inside of the connecting hole plate 13 to fix the second mounting plate 2. Thus, the arrangement can be completed directly on the left frame. If two people are using it, the double-person extended mode can be adopted: when the amount of seeds is greater than or equal to one hundred portions, unfold the right folding frame to form a double row of grid, and arrange two rows simultaneously, thereby improving the arrangement efficiency and enabling the operator to complete the arrangement of a large number of experimental field seeds in a single day.

[0028] Workflow: Before using the device, first assemble the device according to the arranged seed row sequence. Place the sliding frames 6 at both ends of the multiple sets of horizontal bars 7 onto the outside of the sliding strips 5 on one side of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2, allowing the sliding frames 6 to slide outside the sliding strips 5. Then, adjust the distance of the horizontal bars 7 according to the seed spacing, so that the pointer 8 aligns with the corresponding scale 4. After adjustment, rotate the locking bolt 93, causing it to rotate inside the threaded cylinder 92 on the connecting frame 91 until the friction plate 94 is tightly fitted against the first mounting plate 1. After completing the installation of multiple horizontal bars 7, vertically align the mounting holes 10 on the fixing plate 3 with the threaded grooves 12 at the top of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2. Insert the mounting bolts 11 into the mounting holes 10 and screw them into the threaded grooves 12 to complete the installation of the device. The design of the locking assembly 9 and its connecting components allows the device to increase the number of horizontal bars 7 or adjust the spacing of the horizontal bars 7 as needed, thereby meeting the requirements of the plant... To meet the differentiated needs, the next step is to determine whether it is for single-person or double-person use. If single-person use is used, a single-person single-frame mode can be adopted, which is suitable when the amount of experimental materials is less than fifty. Rotate the second mounting plate 2 on the right side to align the connecting hole plate 13 on the fixing plate 3 horizontally, and then use wire or screws to insert into the inside of the connecting hole plate 13 to fix the second mounting plate 2. Thus, the arrangement can be completed directly on the left frame. If double-person use is used, a double-person extended mode can be adopted: when the amount of seeds is greater than or equal to one hundred, unfold the right folding frame to form a double-row grid, and arrange two rows simultaneously, thereby improving the arrangement efficiency and enabling the operator to complete the arrangement of a large number of experimental field seeds in a single day. When arranging seeds, place the sorted seed bags in the order on the experimental register between multiple horizontal bars 7, so that each row of experimental materials is arranged according to the preset numerical sequence. This design enables the seed bags to form a unique correspondence with the planting code in the experimental register, eliminating the risk of manual misplacement and greatly improving the accuracy of arrangement.
