[0027] A Chinese cabbage planter includes a frame 1, a furrow opener 2, a seed-dropping mechanism 3, and a solar panel assembly 4. A lifting seat 5 is located at the top center of the frame 1, and a servo motor 6 is mounted on the lifting seat 5. A rotating frame 7 is located at the bottom of the solar panel assembly 4, and the two sides of the rotating frame 7 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the lifting seat 5. The output end of the servo motor 6 is connected to the rotating frame 7. A clearance hole 8 is located in the middle of the frame 1, and the lifting seat 5 is located at the top of the clearance hole 8. An assembly plate 9 is located between the two sides of the clearance hole 8, and an electric push rod 10 is mounted on the assembly plate 9. The top of the furrow opener 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the output end of the electric push rod 10 is connected to the middle of the furrow opener 2. The seed-dropping mechanism 3 is mounted on the frame 1 and located at the top of the clearance hole 8. Track mechanisms 11 are located on both sides of the frame 1.
[0028] This invention integrates a solar panel assembly 4, which is adjusted according to the direction of sunlight via a servo motor 6. This allows the seeder to utilize solar energy as one of its power sources, reducing reliance on external power sources or fuel engines. The furrow opener 1 is connected to an electric push rod 10, allowing the furrow depth and width to be flexibly adjusted according to different soil conditions and sowing needs. This ensures consistent seed burial depth, improves germination rate and crop growth consistency, and helps achieve high-yield and high-efficiency planting goals. The machine is equipped with tracked mechanisms 11 on both sides, which not only enhances the machine's ability to move across different terrains but also improves the overall stability and convenience of operation, enabling operators to work smoothly even in complex environments.
[0029] The Chinese cabbage planter described in this embodiment includes a track mechanism 11 comprising a connecting plate 12 and a track 13. A drive motor 14 is disposed on the inner side of the connecting plate 12, and a drive wheel 15 is disposed at the output end of the drive motor 14. The drive wheel 15 is located on the outer side of the connecting plate 12. Multiple driven wheels 16 are rotatably disposed along the outer edge of the connecting plate 12. The track 13 is fitted around the outer periphery of the drive wheel 15 and the driven wheels 16. Specifically, the track mechanism design improves the machine's ability to traverse different terrains, enhancing operational stability and convenience. The drive motor drives the drive wheel to rotate, thereby driving the track movement, enabling the entire device to operate smoothly in complex environments and increasing the equipment's applicability.
[0030] It is understood that solar panel assembly 4 can convert solar energy into electrical energy. The principle and working method of solar energy to electrical energy conversion are existing technologies and are very mature, so they will not be elaborated here. This utility model is equipped with a servo motor 6, which allows the solar panel assembly 4 to adjust its direction. The servo motor 6 can be controlled manually or by setting a light sensor to track and adjust the direction of the light. There are no limitations on the above two working methods, and their working principles are existing technologies, so they will not be elaborated here.
[0031] This embodiment of a Chinese cabbage planter includes a solar panel assembly 4 comprising three solar panels 17 and connecting rods 18. All three solar panels 17 are connected to the connecting rods 18, which are in turn connected to the top of the rotating frame 7. Specifically, using three solar panels connected to the top of the rotating frame via connecting rods maximizes sunlight reception and improves energy conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the rotating frame allows the solar panels to adjust their angle according to the sun's position, further optimizing energy collection efficiency and ensuring continuous power support.
[0032] This embodiment describes a Chinese cabbage planter. The frame 1 has two fixed plates 19 on its top, located on either side of the clearance hole 8. Each fixed plate 19 has a fixed post 20 on its top, and the bottom sides of the lifting seat 5 are connected to the two fixed posts 20. Specifically, by using fixed plates and posts to support the lifting seat, the stability of the lifting seat and the servo motor and solar panel assembly mounted on it is ensured. After being raised to a certain height, it can avoid obstructing the electric push rod, resulting in a compact overall structure.
[0033] The Chinese cabbage planter described in this embodiment has a connecting frame 21 at the rear end of the frame 1, and soil-covering wheels 22 on both sides of the connecting frame 21. Specifically, the design of soil-covering wheels on both sides of the connecting frame can automatically cover the seeds with soil after sowing, simplifying subsequent operation steps, improving work efficiency, ensuring a good growth environment for the seeds, and helping to improve the germination rate.
[0034] This embodiment describes a Chinese cabbage planter. The seed-distributing mechanism 3 includes a seed-separating device 23, which includes a base 24. A hopper 25 is housed within the base 24. A first discharge port 26 is located at the bottom of the hopper 25, and a distribution channel 27 connects to the bottom of the first discharge port 26. A variable-pitch screw 28 is installed within the distribution channel 27, with one end extending to the outer periphery of the base 24. A first rotary motor 29 is located on the outer periphery of the hopper 25, and its output is connected to the bottom of the hopper 25. Specifically, the variable-pitch screw in the seed-separating device can precisely control the seed distribution spacing as needed, while the first rotary motor drives the hopper to rotate, achieving continuous feeding. This design effectively improves seeding accuracy, ensuring that seeds are evenly distributed in predetermined positions and improving crop planting quality.
[0035] The Chinese cabbage planter described in this embodiment includes a seed-feeding mechanism 3 comprising a quantitative feeding device 30. The quantitative feeding device 30 includes a housing 31 and a rotating shaft 32. The housing 31 contains a receiving cavity 33 and a disc 34, which is rotatably disposed within the housing 31. The top of the housing 31 has a feed inlet 35 communicating with the receiving cavity 33. The bottom of the housing 31 has a second discharge outlet 36. The outer side of the disc 34... A material trough 37 is recessed, the receiving cavity 33 is located above the disc 34, and the second discharge port 36 is located below the disc 34. The middle part of the disc 34 is connected to the rotating shaft 32, which extends to the outer periphery of the housing 31 for connection to a motor. The rotation of the rotating shaft 32 drives the disc 34 to rotate, causing the material trough 37 to rotate from one side of the receiving cavity 33 to the side of the second discharge port 36. The second discharge port 36 is located at the top of the clearance hole 8. Specifically, the quantitative feeding device drives the disc to rotate through the rotating shaft, causing the material trough to rotate from one side of the receiving cavity to the side of the second discharge port, thereby achieving precise quantitative feeding. This design can accurately control the number of seeds falling each time according to preset parameters, avoiding seed waste and further improving sowing efficiency and quality.
