[0002] Agricultural sowing is a crucial step in agricultural production. It refers to sowing seeds into the soil according to certain requirements and methods to create favorable conditions for plant growth and development, thereby achieving the planting of crops. Drip irrigation in agricultural planting is an advanced water-saving irrigation technology widely used in agricultural planting. It uses drip emitters or drip tapes to slowly and evenly drip water into the soil near the plant roots, providing precise water supply to crops. When carrying out agricultural planting, integrated sowing and drip irrigation equipment is needed, which integrates sowing and drip irrigation functions together, enabling the simultaneous completion of sowing and irrigation tasks, improving agricultural production efficiency, saving resources, and increasing crop yield and quality.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Thorough preparation is essential before agricultural sowing. First, seeds must be carefully selected, removing impurities, diseased seeds, and shriveled seeds to ensure high purity and germination rate, guaranteeing sufficient strong seedlings after sowing. Simultaneously, seeds need treatment, such as sun-drying, which kills pathogens on the seed surface and enhances seed viability. Some seeds may require soaking; depending on the crop and seed characteristics, soaking in suitable water at a specific time allows the seeds to absorb water and swell, promoting internal physiological and biochemical reactions and accelerating germination. Additionally, seeds can be treated with pesticides, forming a protective film around the seed to prevent damage from underground pests and soil-borne diseases to the seeds and seedlings.
[0022] There are various sowing methods. Common methods include row sowing, where seeds are evenly sown in prepared furrows at a certain row spacing. This method is suitable for most crops, such as wheat and corn, as it ensures good ventilation and light penetration between rows, facilitating field management and mechanized operations. Spot sowing involves sowing seeds one by one in the soil at a certain plant-row spacing. This is suitable for crops with larger plant sizes or requiring sparse planting, such as watermelons and pumpkins, ensuring each plant has sufficient growing space and reducing competition between plants. Broadcast sowing involves evenly scattering seeds on the soil surface and then covering them with soil. This method is relatively simple, but the evenness of seed distribution is difficult to control, and it is generally used for sowing leafy vegetables.
[0023] The sowing depth also needs to be strictly controlled. Different crop seeds have different requirements for sowing depth. Generally speaking, the larger the seed, the deeper the sowing depth, because larger seeds store more nutrients and can provide enough energy for the seedling to emerge from the soil; while small seeds should be sown at a shallower depth, otherwise the seedlings will have difficulty emerging from the soil. Sowing depth should also take into account factors such as soil texture and soil moisture. For example, in clay soil, because the soil particles are fine and the permeability is poor, the sowing depth should be appropriately shallower; while in sandy soil, the soil particles are larger and the water retention is poor, so the sowing depth can be appropriately deeper to prevent the seeds from drying out.
[0024] The timing of sowing is equally crucial. Different crops have different suitable sowing periods, which mainly depend on local climate conditions and the crop's growth habits. For example, spring wheat is generally sown as early as possible after the soil thaws in spring, so as to make full use of the spring temperature and moisture conditions, allowing the wheat to emerge and grow early. Winter wheat, on the other hand, should be sown in autumn, allowing it to grow a certain number of leaves before winter arrives, safely overwinter, and then turn green and grow again in the following spring. Sowing too early or too late may lead to poor crop growth and development, affecting yield and quality.
[0025] After sowing, proper covering and compaction are necessary. The thickness of the covering soil should be determined according to the sowing depth, ensuring that the seeds are evenly covered and preventing them from being exposed to air and losing moisture or being eaten by birds or other animals. Compaction compaction ensures close contact between the seeds and the soil, facilitating water absorption and promoting germination. It also reduces soil porosity, decreasing water evaporation and maintaining soil moisture. Agricultural sowing is a highly technical task involving seed selection, treatment, sowing method, depth, timing, and post-sowing covering and compaction. Each step requires careful operation to lay a solid foundation for crop growth and ultimately achieve a bountiful harvest.
[0026] Integrated agricultural sowing and drip irrigation systems typically consist of a seeder, a drip irrigation system, and related auxiliary equipment. The seeder sows seeds into the soil at a set row spacing and depth, while the drip irrigation system lays drip irrigation tape during the sowing process. The drip irrigation tape can be shallowly buried in the soil, parallel to the sowing direction, ensuring that the seeds receive water and nutrients promptly after sowing. This integrated system offers several advantages. First, it improves sowing efficiency and reduces labor input, especially in large-scale planting. Second, the drip irrigation system enables integrated water and fertilizer management, automatically detecting, adjusting, and supplying water and fertilizer according to the crop's nutrient requirements at different growth stages and soil characteristics, thus improving water and fertilizer utilization. Furthermore, drip irrigation systems reduce water evaporation and improve irrigation efficiency, making them particularly suitable for arid regions.
[0027] In practical applications, this device can be adjusted according to different crops and planting needs. For example, in wheat planting, drip irrigation tape can be shallowly buried in the ground along with the seeder, at a depth of about 1 to 2 centimeters, with one drip irrigation tape laid every 60 centimeters between every four rows. In corn planting, drip irrigation tape is generally laid in the middle of narrow rows, and when planting in both large and small rows, the drip irrigation pipes are arranged in the middle of the narrow rows. This device can also be combined with technologies such as Beidou navigation to improve sowing accuracy. The integrated agricultural sowing and drip irrigation device is a highly efficient, water-saving, and fertilizer-saving modern agricultural technology that can significantly improve agricultural production efficiency and crop yield while reducing resource waste and environmental pollution.
[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the integrated sowing and drip irrigation device includes a functional box 1 and a rotating frame 4. A drive rod 2 is installed inside the functional box 1. Several sets of rotating frames 4 are fixed to the outer wall of the drive rod 2. A drive motor 3 is installed at one end of the drive rod 2 on the outer wall of the functional box 1. The output end of the drive rod 2 and the drive motor 3 are fixedly installed. A seed box 7 is installed inside the functional box 1 above the drive rod 2. Several sets of material dropping frames 8 are installed at the lower end of the seed box 7. The material dropping frames 8 are connected to the seed box 7. A control valve 9 is fixed to the outer end of each set of material dropping frames 8. A metering module 10 is installed on the side of the outer end of each set of material dropping frames 8 away from the control valve 9. A water storage tank 13 is installed at the upper end of the functional box 1. Several sets of guide plates 6 are fixed to the upper end of the interior of each set of rotating frames 4. A baffle 5 is fixed to the upper end of the interior of the rotating frame 4. A discharge chute is opened on one side of the guide plate 6 inside the rotating frame 4.
[0029] Please see Figures 2-4 The outer end of the water storage tank 13 is provided with multiple sets of transmission pipes 14, which are connected to the water storage tank 13. The outer ends of the multiple sets of transmission pipes 14 are all fixed with electromagnetic valves 16. The outer wall of the water storage tank 13 is equipped with a control module 17, and the electromagnetic valves 16 are electrically connected to the control module 17. The outer wall of the function box 1 is fixed with multiple sets of retaining rings 15 on one side of the multiple sets of transmission pipes 14, which are engaged with the transmission pipes 14. The upper end of the water storage tank 13 is connected with two sets of feeding troughs. The lower end of the function box 1 is provided with a through groove. Several sets of limiting frames 18 are fixed inside the through groove. The lower ends of the several sets of limiting frames 18 are connected with a discharge plate 19. The inside of the limiting frame 18 is provided with a limiting groove to accommodate the flipping frame 4.
[0030] Please see Figures 3-5 The seed box 7 is fitted with a cover plate 11 at the upper end. A connecting rod is installed inside the upper end of the cover plate 11. A movable groove for accommodating the connecting rod is opened inside the upper end of the cover plate 11. A flip cover 12 is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting rod. The flip cover 12 is fitted with the cover plate 11. A pull rod is symmetrically fixed at the upper end of the cover plate 11 outside the flip cover 12. A movable wheel 20 is symmetrically installed at the outer end of the functional box 1. A push rod is welded to the rear end of the functional box 1.
[0031] When sowing is required, the seeds are first poured into the seed box 7, which serves as a storage container to provide a sufficient supply of seeds for subsequent sowing. Multiple sets of feed trays 8 installed at the bottom of the seed box 7 facilitate the smooth flow of seeds from the seed box 7 into the feed trays 8. After the required amount of seeds is filled, the operator uses a push rod to move the functional box 1, combined with the casters 20, to the designated sowing position. Based on the drip irrigation needs after sowing, the control module 17 is used to adjust the opening and closing size and duration of the solenoid valve 16. Meanwhile, based on the seed sowing spacing in the farmland, the speed of the drive motor 3 and the opening time of the control valve 9 are adjusted. After the drive structure is adjusted according to the field requirements, the function box 1 is pushed to move at a uniform speed along the field. By using the control valve 9 to control the outflow of seeds in the discharge frame 8, it is determined whether the seeds flow out of the discharge frame 8 and the speed of the outflow. At the same time, the metering module 10 can accurately monitor the number of seeds flowing out of the discharge frame 8, ensuring that the amount of seeds discharged each time is accurate and meets the set requirements, avoiding the situation of seeds being too dense or too sparse, and ensuring that the seeds are evenly distributed during the sowing process. After being metered, the seeds flow out of the discharge frame 8 and fall into the upper part of the inside of the flipping frame 4. The internal guide plate 6 of the flipping frame 4 can play a certain role in blocking and guiding, allowing the seeds to move along a specific path inside the flipping frame 4. When the drive motor 3 starts, it drives the drive rod 2 to rotate, and the flipping frame 4 rotates accordingly. During the rotation of the flipping frame 4, the seeds are discharged from the discharge chute of the flipping frame 4 under the guidance of the guide plate 6. The seeds discharged from the flipping frame 4 enter the limiting frame 18 and are discharged and sown by the discharge plate 19, realizing automatic and uniform sowing of the seeds. When it is necessary to replenish the seeds, the seeds can be added to the seed box 7 by opening the flip cover 12 or the cover plate 11. After adding the seeds, the cover plate 11 and the flip cover 12 are fastened in sequence to prevent the seeds from getting damp or contaminated by the outside world.
[0032] After the seeds are sown in the field, according to the preset irrigation method and soil requirements, the electromagnetic valve 16 opens the transmission pipe 14 as the seeds are sown, and delivers the water in the water storage tank 13 to the area that needs irrigation. It precisely controls the flow rate and irrigation time of the irrigation water, realizes precise drip irrigation of field crops, and carries out drip irrigation operation simultaneously with sowing. At the same time that the seeds are sown in the field, they can receive an appropriate amount of water, which is conducive to the germination and growth of the seeds and creates good water conditions for the growth of crops. It realizes the simultaneous operation of agricultural seed sowing and drip irrigation.
