[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a quantitative seed metering device for a tractor seeder, comprising a housing 1, a feed hopper 2 fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1, a limiting ring 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, a second metering device 7 disposed on the inner wall of the limiting ring 3, a first metering device 6 disposed at the right end of the second metering device 7, a second motor 4 mounted on the right outer wall of the housing 1, a rotating shaft 5 fixedly connected to the drive end of the second motor 4, sliding grooves on both the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5, a slider 8 slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, a rotating ring 9 fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating shaft 5, and a discharge port 11 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the housing 1. The outer wall is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second metering device 7. The outer wall of the rotating ring 9 is rotatably connected to the left inner wall of the housing 1. The outer wall of the rotating ring 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 13. The inner wall of the mounting block 13 is slidably connected to the insertion rod 14. The inner wall of the insertion rod 14 is provided with a spring 15. The top end of the spring 15 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting block 13, and the bottom end of the spring 15 is connected to the outer wall of the insertion rod 14. The right outer wall of the second metering device 7 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 10. The outer wall of the sliding rod 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring 9. The top end of the sliding rod 10 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the top end of the insertion rod 14. The size of the through hole is adapted to the insertion rod 14.

[0026] A sowing shovel 21 is slidably connected to the front outer wall of the box body 1, and a soil scraper 23 is slidably connected to the rear outer wall of the box body 1. Bolts 22 are threadedly connected to the inner walls of both the sowing shovel 21 and the soil scraper 23. Universal wheels 12 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the box body 1.

[0027] Specifically, the housing 1, as the main structure of the entire seed metering device, serves to house and support other components. A feed hopper 2 is fixedly connected to its top, receiving seeds to be sown. The seeds enter the housing 1 through the feed hopper 2, initiating the subsequent quantitative seed metering process. A limiting ring 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The limiting ring 3 primarily positions and restricts the movement range of the second metering device 7 inside, ensuring that the second metering device 7 can operate stably within a specific space. Furthermore, the inner wall of the limiting ring 3 cooperates with the second metering device 7 to collaboratively participate in the quantitative control process of seed metering. A second motor 4 is installed on the right outer wall of the housing 1. The second motor 4 serves as a power source, with a rotating shaft 5 fixedly connected to its drive end. When the second motor 4 operates, it drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. This provides power for the operation of subsequent related components, enabling the quantitative discharge of seeds. The bottom of the box 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge port 11. After quantitative control, the seeds are finally discharged from the box 1 through the discharge port 11 and enter the corresponding conveying channel of the seeder, and then fall into the field to complete the sowing. The second metering device 7 is located on the inner wall of the limiting ring 3, and the first metering device 6 is set on its right side. The two work together to achieve precise and quantitative control of the seeds. The first metering device 6 and the second metering device 7 are fixedly connected, and the interval between the first metering devices 6 is smaller than the interval between the second metering devices 7, so as to accurately control the number of seeds discharged each time.

[0028] The inner wall of the second metering device 7 is slidably connected to the sliding grooves on the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5 via the slider 8. This connection method allows the rotating shaft 5 to drive the second metering device 7 to move accordingly via the slider 8 when it rotates, realizing the orderly delivery and quantitative operation of seeds in the metering device. A sliding rod 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the right side of the second metering device 7. The outer wall of the sliding rod 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring 9. This connection establishes a relative motion relationship between the second metering device 7 and the rotating ring 9. When the rotating ring 9 rotates or has other movements, the sliding rod 10 can slide along the inner wall of the rotating ring 9, ensuring the stability and continuity of the movement of the second metering device 7 during operation.

[0029] When the first metering device 6 needs to be activated for seed dispensing, the operator first pulls the insert rod 14 out of the through hole of the sliding rod 10 to release the locking state of the sliding rod 10. Then, the operator pulls the sliding rod 10. Since the sliding rod 10 is fixedly connected to the second metering device 7, and the second metering device 7 is slidably connected to the groove on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5 through the slider 8, the second metering device 7 will slide along the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5 during the pulling of the sliding rod 10. When the operator observes that the first metering device 6 has moved to a position that matches the limiting ring 3, the operator stops pulling the sliding rod 10 and lowers the insert rod 14. Under the elastic force of the spring 15, the insert rod 14 will insert into the through hole at the top of the sliding rod 10, thereby fixing the sliding rod 10 and the connected second metering device 7 in the current position. During the entire seed dispensing process, the seeds enter the box 1 through the feed hopper 2 and fall into the first metering device 6 and the second metering device 7 through the limiting ring 3. The constraint ring 3 constrains the seed's falling path, effectively preventing seeds from scattering during their descent and ensuring that seeds enter the metering device accurately and orderly, thus guaranteeing the subsequent quantitative seeding operation.

[0030] A rotating ring 9 is fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating shaft 5. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates under the drive of the motor 4, it will drive the rotating ring 9 to rotate synchronously. The outer wall of the rotating ring 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the left side of the housing 1. This rotatable connection ensures that the rotating ring 9 can rotate smoothly around its connection point with the housing 1, providing stable rotational support for the operation of the entire device. A mounting block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 9. The mounting block 13 is used to install the insertion rod 14. A spring 15 is provided on the inner wall of the insertion rod 14. The top end of the spring 15 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting block 13, and the bottom end of the spring 15 is connected to the outer wall of the insertion rod 14. Under the action of the spring 15, the insertion rod 14 can slide up and down on the inner wall of the mounting block 13. The top end of the insertion rod 14 is adapted to the through hole corresponding to the top end of the sliding rod 10. When the insertion rod 14 is inserted into the through hole under the elastic force of the spring 15, it can play a role in positioning and fixing the sliding rod 10, thereby affecting the working state of the second metering device 7 and realizing a specific quantitative control function.

[0031] The sowing shovel 21 is connected to the front outer wall of the box 1 by a sliding connection. This sliding connection allows the sowing shovel 21 to slide up and down relative to the front outer wall of the box 1, so that the height position of the sowing shovel 21 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual operation needs to adapt to different soil conditions and sowing requirements. Meanwhile, the inner wall of the sowing shovel 21 is threaded with bolts 22. After passing through the sowing shovel 21, the bolts 22 contact the housing 1. By tightening or loosening the bolts 22, the sowing shovel 21 can be fixed in the adjusted position to ensure that it will not slide at will during operation and to ensure the stability of its working state. The shovel 23 is also slidably connected to the rear outer wall of the housing 1. This allows the shovel 23 to slide up and down on the rear outer wall of the housing 1, which makes it convenient for the operator to adjust the height of the shovel 23 according to the specific working environment, such as the looseness of the soil and the terrain. In addition, the inner wall of the shovel 23 is also threaded with bolts 22. After tightening, the shovel 23 can be firmly fixed to the housing 1, which can be used to cover the seeds after sowing.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The inner wall of the feed hopper 2 is provided with a filter screen 20. The top of the feed hopper 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 16. The top of the connecting frame 16 is equipped with a motor 17. The drive end of the motor 17 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 18. Multiple stirring plates 19 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 18.

[0033] Specifically, the feed hopper 2 serves as the inlet for seeds to enter the quantitative seed metering unit 1, and its inner wall is equipped with a filter screen 20. This filter screen 20 has a filtering function, designed to effectively intercept seeds that are stuck together during the seed entry process, preventing such seeds from falling into the metering unit. This ensures that the subsequent quantitative seed metering unit can perform precise and orderly seeding operations based on single, dispersed seeds, maintaining the accuracy and stability of the entire seeding process. A connecting frame 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the feed hopper 2. The connecting frame 16 mainly serves to support and install other components. Its fixed connection with the feed hopper 2 ensures structural stability and provides a foundation for the installation of subsequent components such as the motor 17. The motor 17 is installed at the top of the connecting frame 16. The motor 17 is the power source, providing power for the subsequent stirring action. A rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 17. When the motor 17 starts, its drive end drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate synchronously. This fixed connection method ensures effective power transmission, allowing the rotating shaft 18 to rotate according to the speed and direction of the motor 17. Multiple stirring plates 19 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 18. As the rotating shaft 18 rotates, the stirring plates 19 rotate along with it within the feed hopper 2. The function of the stirring plates 19 is to stir the seeds within the feed hopper 2, preventing seed accumulation and clumping, allowing the seeds to pass evenly and smoothly through the filter screen 20 into the housing 1. This improves the uniformity and stability of seed dispensing, preventing seed clumping due to prolonged storage, and ensuring that seeds enter the quantitative seed metering device evenly and smoothly, facilitating subsequent stable and accurate seed dispensing operations.

[0034] Working principle: Seeds first enter the feed hopper 2. The filter screen 20 on the inner wall of the feed hopper 2 will intercept seeds that are stuck together, allowing only single, dispersed seeds to pass through. At the same time, the motor 17 installed on the connecting frame 16 at the top of the feed hopper 2 drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, which drives the stirring plate 19 to stir the seeds, preventing seeds from piling up and clumping, so that the seeds enter the box 1 evenly and smoothly. The seeds entering the box 1 will fall into the limiting ring 3. The limiting ring 3 positions the second metering device 7 and restricts its range of motion, and works with the second metering device 7 to participate in the seed metering control. The second metering device 7 and the first metering device 6 on the right side work together to control the number of seeds discharged. The interval between the first metering devices 6 is smaller than the interval between the second metering devices 7, so as to accurately control the amount of seeds discharged each time.

[0035] Motor 4 serves as the power source, driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. The rotating shaft 5 is connected to the second metering device 7 via the slider 8, which in turn drives the second metering device 7 to move, thus realizing the orderly delivery and quantitative operation of seeds in the metering device. The rotating ring 9 at the left end of the rotating shaft 5 rotates synchronously. The rotating ring 9 and the second metering device 7 establish a relative motion relationship through the sliding rod 10, ensuring the working stability and motion continuity of the second metering device 7.

[0036] When the first metering device 6 needs to be activated for seed dispensing, the operator pulls out the insertion rod 14 and pulls the sliding rod 10 to drive the second metering device 7 to slide. After the first metering device 6 moves to the position that matches the limiting ring 3, the insertion rod 14 is lowered and inserted into the through hole of the sliding rod 10 for fixation, thereby affecting the working state of the second metering device 7 and realizing a specific quantitative control function. The quantitatively controlled seeds are discharged from the discharge port 11 at the bottom of the box 1, enter the corresponding conveying channel of the seeder, and fall into the field. The sowing shovel 21 is connected to the front outer wall of the box 1 by a sliding connection, and its height can be adjusted up and down to adapt to different soil conditions and sowing requirements. Tightening or loosening the bolt 22 connected to its inner wall thread can fix the position of the sowing shovel 21. The shovel 23 is connected to the rear outer wall of the box 1 by the same sliding connection, and its height can be adjusted as needed. Tightening the bolt 22 can fix it firmly and is used to bury the seeds after sowing.
