Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural technology, and in particular to a seed positioning device for *Gnaphalium affine* seeds. Background Technology

[0002] In the agricultural planting sector, *Heliotropium indicum*, a unique vegetable with both edible and medicinal value, is experiencing a growing demand for large-scale cultivation. However, traditional seed sowing methods for *Heliotropium indicum* have numerous problems, severely impacting sowing quality and efficiency.

[0003] On the one hand, manual sowing is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to accurately control the sowing quantity and location, easily resulting in too few or too many seeds at the same location. This leads to uneven growth of the Chinese cabbage, affecting yield and quality. On the other hand, while existing sowing equipment has achieved mechanization to some extent, its positioning mechanism often suffers from complex structure and low positioning accuracy, failing to quickly locate the sowing position within a certain range. This results in uneven seed placement, reducing sowing quality and land utilization. Therefore, developing a Chinese cabbage seed sowing positioning device that can flexibly control the batch sowing quantity and achieve rapid and accurate sowing location is of great significance for improving the quality and efficiency of Chinese cabbage cultivation and promoting the development of the Chinese cabbage industry.
