Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a rice printing and sowing machine with multi-directional feeding capability. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of large-scale and mechanized agricultural production, traditional rice cultivation methods are facing challenges during the transition period, and the planting area of hybrid rice has declined. The emergence of rice printing seeders provides an efficient and precise sowing method for large-scale planting, which helps to improve the scale, mechanization, and standardization of rice cultivation and promotes the development of the rice industry.
[0003] Publication No. CN202178946U discloses a fertilizing rotary tillage seeder. A press roller is mounted on the front of the frame via adjustable arms on both sides. A main sprocket on one side of the press roller is connected via a chain to a driven sprocket on the outer end of the seed and fertilizer box's seed and fertilizer distribution shaft. A rotary tiller is mounted below the frame. The seed and fertilizer box has a partition in the middle, forming two seed and fertilizer boxes for separate sowing. Each seed and fertilizer box has a seed and fertilizer distribution shaft with seed and fertilizer grooves. Several adjustable sleeves with sowing openings are fitted onto the shaft and can slide left and right. This device has multiple functions including rotary tillage, seed and fertilizer sowing, and seed and fertilizer compaction. It allows adjustment of the row spacing for seed and fertilizer sowing and the angle of the press roller, thus meeting different sowing and fertilization needs. Furthermore, the adjustable compaction angle allows it to be mounted on a low-horsepower locomotive for use on hillsides and small plots of farmland. It is highly adaptable, multifunctional, and very suitable for use by farming households.
[0004] As shown in the above technical solution, although the device has multiple functions such as rotary tillage, seed and fertilizer dispensing, and seed-fertilizer compaction, it relies on a single feed inlet during sowing. This leads to slow feeding speeds and blockages during large-scale sowing operations. Furthermore, when mixing multiple rice varieties, frequent machine stops are required to change seed containers or manually mix different varieties, consuming significant manpower and resources. It is also difficult to ensure the accuracy of the mixing ratio, resulting in uneven seedling emergence and affecting the overall uniformity of crop growth and final yield. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.
[0027] See Figures 1-4 This utility model provides the following two technical solutions:
[0028] First implementation: A rice printing and seeding machine capable of multi-directional feeding, comprising:
[0029] Seeder body 1, which is used for sowing rice;
[0030] The feed hopper 2 and the discharge pipe 3 are fixedly installed on the top of the seeder body 1 and the discharge pipe 3 is installed on the bottom of the seeder body 1.
[0031] Four conveying components 4 are centrally symmetrically distributed and installed on the top of the seeder body 1. Each of the four conveying components 4 includes a conveying pipe 41, which is installed on the top of the seeder body 1. A through groove 42 is opened on the inner end of the conveying pipe 41. A rotating shaft 43 is rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe 41. A spiral blade 44 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 43. A first motor 45 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the conveying pipe 41. The output end of the first motor 45 passes through the conveying pipe 41 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 43. The conveying components 4 are used to convey seeds from the outside into the feed hopper 2.
[0032] The material distribution component 5 is installed inside the seeder body 1. The material distribution component 5 includes a distributor 51, which is rotatably installed inside the seeder body 1. Multiple collection troughs 52 are evenly distributed in a neutral and symmetrical manner inside the distributor 51. A second motor 53 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the seeder body 1. The output end of the second motor 53 is fixedly connected to the distributor 51. The material distribution component 5 is used to separate the seeds conveyed by the conveying components 4 in different directions.
[0033] The four conveying components 4 are centrally symmetrically distributed. The first motor 45 in each component drives the rotating shaft 43 to rotate, which drives the spiral blade 44 to rotate inside the conveying pipe 41. The rotation of the spiral blade 44 generates thrust, pushing the seeds from the outside end of the conveying pipe 41 along the pipe to the inside end, and feeding them into the feed hopper 2 through the through slot 42. The centrally symmetrical layout allows the seeder to receive seeds from four directions at the same time, and can simultaneously receive seeds from multiple sources, avoiding the space limitation of a single feed port. The distributor 51 is driven by the second motor 53 and rotates inside the seeder body 1. The collection slots 52 inside the distributor 51 are centrally symmetrically distributed. When the distributor 51 rotates, the different collection slots 52 are aligned with the bottom of the feed hopper 2 in sequence, thereby collecting the seeds conveyed from different conveying components 4, and then sowing them by rotating the distributor 51.
[0034] Traditional seeders rely on a single feed inlet, which can easily lead to slow feeding speed and blockages during large-scale seeding operations. However, this seeder has four conveying components 4 working simultaneously, which can significantly improve the feeding speed. Compared with traditional seeders, the feeding efficiency is greatly improved. In large-area rice planting areas, it can significantly shorten the sowing time, improve the operation efficiency, and ensure that rice can be sown at the optimal sowing period, thus gaining valuable time for rice growth and development. In addition, the multi-directional feeding method disperses the feeding pressure, reduces the risk of blockage caused by seed accumulation, and makes the sowing operation smoother and more stable. At the same time, the conveying component 4 can simultaneously feed different varieties of seeds, and the distribution component 5 can realize zoned sowing or proportional mixed sowing, meeting the flexibility needs of farmland planting planning.
[0035] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: an installation plate 6 is fixedly installed between the four conveying components 4, a third motor 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation plate 6, a stirring shaft 8 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the installation plate 6, and multiple stirring blades 9 are evenly installed on the stirring shaft 8.
[0036] A mounting ring 10 is rotatably mounted on the top of the seeder body 1, and four conveying components 4 are all fixedly mounted on the mounting ring 10.
[0037] A valve 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the feed hopper 2 to control whether the feed hopper 2 is opened.
[0038] A leveling rake 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main body 1 of the seeder.
[0039] Mounting plate 6 spans between the four conveying components 4, serving to fix and support the third motor 7. When the third motor 7 starts, its output power drives the stirring shaft 8 to rotate at the bottom of mounting plate 6. The evenly distributed stirring blades 9 on the stirring shaft 8 rotate accordingly. The rotation of the stirring blades 9 stirs the seeds in the feed hopper 2. Through the pushing, pulling, and flipping actions of the blades, the seeds are continuously tumbled and mixed in the feed hopper 2. Whether it is a single variety of seeds that has accumulated and clumped after long-term storage, or a mixture of multiple varieties of seeds in a certain proportion, they can become more uniform under the stirring action, providing a good material state for subsequent distribution and sowing. Mounting ring 10 is rotatably mounted on the top of the seeder body 1. All four conveying components 4 are fixed on mounting ring 10. By manually driving mounting ring 10 to rotate on the top of the seeder body 1, the rotation of mounting ring 10 causes the seeds to tumble and mix. The four conveying components 4 rotate synchronously. When it is necessary to adjust the feeding direction or switch the seed source position, the orientation of the conveying components 4 can be flexibly changed, enhancing the seeder's adaptability to different feeding layouts. When sowing is required, the control system sends an opening command to the valve 11, and the actuator of the valve 11 actuates to open the feeding channel, allowing the seeds in the feeding hopper 2 to fall smoothly into the distributing component 5. When sowing is paused or the seed variety needs to be switched or the equipment needs to be adjusted, the control system sends a closing command, and the valve 11 closes, cutting off the seed conveying path and preventing the seeds from flowing out accidentally, thus achieving precise control of the sowing process. The leveling rake 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the seeder body 1 and moves synchronously with the seeder. During the movement, the leveling rake 12 can also gently cover the sown seeds, making the seeds in close contact with the soil, which is conducive to seed germination and growth.
[0040] In this embodiment, by setting the stirring shaft 8 and stirring blades 9, the problem of seed clumping is effectively solved, making the single variety of seeds more fluid and avoiding feeding difficulties caused by seed accumulation; for mixed sowing of multiple varieties, it can ensure accurate mixing ratio, improve sowing quality, and ensure the consistency of crop growth in the field.
[0041] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0042] In use, the first motor 45 drives the rotating shaft 43 in the conveying assembly 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades 44 to rotate inside the conveying pipe 41, pushing the seeds from the outside end of the conveying pipe 41 to the inside end. The third motor 7 drives the stirring shaft 8 and stirring blades 9 to rotate, stirring and mixing the seeds in the feed hopper 2. At the same time, the control system sends an opening command to the valve 11 to open the feeding channel, allowing the seeds to enter the distributing assembly 5 smoothly. During the rotation of the distributor 51, its internal collection troughs 52 are aligned with the bottom of the feed hopper 2 in sequence, collecting the seeds from different conveying assemblies 4 respectively. When the collection troughs 52 rotate to the position corresponding to the discharge pipe 3, the seeds are discharged through the discharge pipe 3 under the action of gravity. After the seeds are sown, the leveling rake 12 will also gently cover the seeds, making the seeds in close contact with the soil, which is conducive to seed germination and growth. During the process, the conveying assembly 4 continuously feeds, the stirring assembly continuously stirs, and the distributing assembly 5 continuously distributes, realizing continuous sowing.
