Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Trichosanthes kirilowii seed sowing technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency Trichosanthes kirilowii seed sowing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Sowing is the first step in Trichosanthes kirilowii cultivation, directly affecting germination rate, uniformity of plant distribution, and subsequent field management costs. Traditional manual sowing requires sequential steps such as digging holes, sowing, fertilizing, and covering with soil, resulting in low planting efficiency and high labor intensity. Furthermore, manual operation makes it difficult to precisely control plant and row spacing, easily leading to uneven plant distribution, affecting ventilation, light penetration, and nutrient absorption, and increasing the risk of pests and diseases.
[0003] Most existing sowing equipment is designed for grain crops such as wheat and corn. Because the morphology and size of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds differ significantly from those of conventional grain crops, existing equipment struggles to adapt to the unique sowing requirements of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, leading to problems such as poor seed transport, missed sowing, and double sowing, resulting in low sowing precision. Furthermore, existing equipment lacks specific designs tailored to the agronomical needs of Trichosanthes kirilowii cultivation, failing to meet the precise control of parameters such as sowing depth and fertilization rate, thus hindering efficient and high-quality sowing. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-efficiency Trichosanthes kirilowii seed planter, which solves the technical problems of low efficiency in manual sowing and the inability of existing sowing equipment to perfectly match the needs of Trichosanthes kirilowii seed cultivation.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency seeder for Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, including a seeder body, a pushcart handle fixedly connected to the seeder body, a soil breaking and ditching mechanism for breaking up and ditching compacted soil clods in the field on the left side of the seeder body, an equidistant sowing mechanism for controlling the sowing spacing and avoiding seed re-sowing in the middle of the seeder body, a fertilization and soil covering mechanism for precisely fertilizing and covering the seed holes on the right side of the seeder body, and rear wheels symmetrically installed on the front and rear of the right side of the seeder body.
[0006] The soil breaking and ditching mechanism includes an axle rotatably connected to the seeder body, a soil breaking wheel fixedly connected to the axle, soil breaking cone plates fixedly connected to the soil breaking wheel in a circular array, a drive assembly for driving the axle to rotate installed on the seeder body, an electric lifting rod installed at the bottom of the seeder body, a ditching plow installed at the bottom of the electric lifting rod, a guide support plate installed at the bottom of the seeder body, and a guide slider that slides in a groove opened on the guide support plate installed on the ditching plow.
[0007] A further improvement is that the drive assembly includes a drive motor mounted on the seeder body, the output end of the drive motor is connected to a pulley, and a pulley is also vertically mounted on the axle, with a drive belt connecting the two pulleys.
[0008] A further improvement is that the equidistant sowing mechanism includes a seed box installed in the middle of the seeder body, a sowing tube fixedly connected to the bottom of the seed box, a seed distribution plate fixedly connected to the sowing tube, a turntable rotatably connected inside the seed distribution plate, an inoculation groove communicating with the sowing tube on the turntable, and a distance-fixing component for controlling the sowing spacing on the turntable.
[0009] A further improvement is that the distance-fixing component includes a support rod installed at the bottom of the seeder body, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the support rod and connected to the turntable at its front end, transmission wheels correspondingly installed on the rotating shaft and the axle, and a connecting belt connecting the two transmission wheels.
[0010] A further improvement is that the fertilization and soil covering mechanism includes a fertilizer tank installed on the seeder body, and the fertilizer tank has a feed inlet. A fertilizer pipe inclined to the seeding pipe is installed at the bottom of the fertilizer tank, and a flow monitoring valve is installed on the fertilizer pipe. A soil covering component is installed at the bottom of the seeder body.
[0011] A further improvement is that the soil covering assembly includes an electric push rod installed at the bottom of the seeder body, a soil covering plate installed at the bottom of the electric push rod, gathering plates symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the soil covering plate, and a pressing wheel rotatably connected inside the soil covering plate.
[0012] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a high-efficiency planter for Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, which has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses a soil-breaking cone plate on a soil-breaking wheel to insert into the soil and cut the compacted soil clods. Then, a furrowing plow breaks up the cut soil clods and opens furrows, thereby preventing the compacted soil clods from affecting the subsequent growth of seeds. In addition, according to actual planting needs, the electric lifting rod can be activated to push the furrowing plow down, thereby adjusting the furrowing depth to adapt to different soil conditions.
[0014] 2. This utility model uses an axle and a fixed-distance component to drive the turntable to rotate until the inoculation groove on it coincides with the sowing tube. At this time, a plump Trichosanthes kirilowii seed falls into the inoculation groove and fills it, while two shriveled Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds are required. This ensures the germination rate of the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. The rotation speed of the turntable is matched with the rotation speed of the axle, thereby realizing fixed-distance sowing.
[0015] 3. In this invention, when the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds fall into the trench, the flow monitoring valve opens to discharge fertilizer water into the trench through the fertilizer pipe. The flow monitoring valve can achieve quantitative fertilization, thereby ensuring the germination rate of the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. After fertilization is completed, the soil on both sides of the trench is gathered by the gathering plate and covered on the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. At this time, the pressing wheel lightly compacts the gathered loose soil, so that the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds are in full contact with the soil, which is conducive to the germination and growth of the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds.

[0033] 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.
[0034] Addressing the current issues of low efficiency in manual sowing and the inability of existing sowing equipment to perfectly meet the needs of Trichosanthes kirilowii seed cultivation, this embodiment provides a high-efficiency Trichosanthes kirilowii seed seeder that integrates furrowing, fixed-distance sowing, fertilization, and soil covering, thereby improving sowing efficiency. Please refer to... Figures 1-6 This high-efficiency Trichosanthes kirilowii seed seeder includes a seeder body 1, a pushcart handle 2 fixed to the seeder body 1, a soil breaking and ditching mechanism 3 on the left side of the seeder body 1 for breaking up and ditching compacted soil clods in the field, an equidistant sowing mechanism 4 in the middle of the seeder body 1 for controlling the sowing spacing and avoiding seed duplication, and a fertilization and soil covering mechanism 5 on the right side of the seeder body 1 for precise fertilization and soil covering of the seed holes. Rear wheels 6 are symmetrically installed on the front and rear of the right side of the seeder body 1. Before sowing, the soil breaking and ditching mechanism 3 cuts and breaks up the compacted protrusions to prevent the compacted soil clods from affecting the later growth of the seeds. The equidistant sowing mechanism 4 sows evenly at a fixed distance to avoid uneven plant spacing, which would affect seed nutrient absorption. The fertilization and soil covering mechanism 5 fertilizes and waters the seeds after sowing, improving the seed survival rate.
[0035] The soil breaking and ditching mechanism 3 includes an axle 31 rotatably connected to the seeder body 1, a soil breaking wheel 32 fixedly connected to the axle 31, soil breaking cone plates 33 fixedly connected to the soil breaking wheel 32 in a circular array, a drive assembly 34 for driving the axle 31 to rotate installed on the seeder body 1, an electric lifting rod 35 installed at the bottom of the seeder body 1, a ditching plow 36 installed at the bottom of the electric lifting rod 35, a guide support plate 37 installed at the bottom of the seeder body 1, and a guide slider 38 that slides in a groove opened on the guide support plate 37 installed on the ditching plow 36.
[0036] The drive assembly 34 includes a drive motor 341 mounted on the seeder body 1. The output end of the drive motor 341 is connected to a pulley 342, and a pulley 342 is also vertically mounted on the axle 31. A transmission belt 343 is connected between the two pulleys 342. When the drive motor 341 is started, it drives the pulley 342 to rotate. The transmission belt 343 drives the pulley 342 on the axle 31 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the axle 31 to rotate. This causes the soil-breaking wheel 32 to rotate and move forward. The soil-breaking cone 33 on the soil-breaking wheel 32 inserts into the soil to cut the compacted soil clods. Then, the furrowing plow 36 breaks the soil and opens furrows after cutting, thereby preventing the compacted soil clods from affecting the subsequent growth of seeds. According to the actual planting needs, the electric lifting rod 35 can be activated to push the furrowing plow 36 down, thereby adjusting the furrowing depth to adapt to different soil conditions.
[0037] Because manual sowing is inefficient and some existing sowing equipment cannot perfectly adapt to the flat shape of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, resulting in missed sowing and multiple seeds in the same hole, which affects the growth of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, this device is also equipped with an equidistant sowing mechanism 4. The equidistant sowing mechanism 4 includes a seed box 41 installed in the middle of the seeder body 1. A sowing tube 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the seed box 41. A seed distribution plate 43 is fixedly connected to the sowing tube 42. A turntable 44 is rotatably connected inside the seed distribution plate 43. An inoculation groove 45 communicating with the sowing tube 42 is opened on the turntable 44. A distance fixing component 46 for controlling the sowing spacing is provided on the turntable 44.
[0038] The spacing assembly 46 includes a support rod 461 mounted on the bottom of the seeder body 1. A rotating shaft 462, whose front end is connected to a turntable 44, is rotatably connected to the support rod 461. Drive wheels 463 are correspondingly mounted on the rotating shaft 462 and the axle 31. A connecting belt 464 connects the two drive wheels 463. As the axle 31 rotates, it drives the drive wheels 463 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 462 to rotate via the connecting belt 464. The turntable 44 rotates within the seeding tray 43 until the inoculation groove 45 on the turntable 44 coincides with the sowing tube 42. The Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds in the seed box 41 fall into the inoculation groove 45 through the sowing tube 42. The inoculation groove 45 is adapted to the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. One plump Trichosanthes kirilowii seed can fill the inoculation groove 45, while two shriveled Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds are needed. This ensures the germination rate of the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. The rotation speed of the turntable 44 is adapted to the rotation speed of the axle 31, thereby achieving fixed-distance sowing.
[0039] To improve the germination rate of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, the device is also equipped with a fertilization and soil covering mechanism 5. The fertilization and soil covering mechanism 5 includes a fertilizer tank 51 installed on the seeder body 1, and the fertilizer tank 51 has a feed inlet. A fertilizer pipe 52 inclined to the seeding pipe 42 is installed at the bottom of the fertilizer tank 51. A flow monitoring valve 53 is installed on the fertilizer pipe 52. A soil covering component 54 is installed at the bottom of the seeder body 1.
[0040] The soil covering component 54 includes an electric push rod 541 installed at the bottom of the seeder body 1. A soil covering plate 542 is installed at the bottom of the electric push rod 541. Gathering plates 543 are symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the soil covering plate 542. A pressing wheel 544 is rotatably connected inside the soil covering plate 542. When the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds fall into the furrow, the flow monitoring valve 53 opens to discharge the fertilizer water in the fertilizer tank 51 into the furrow through the fertilizer pipe 52. The flow monitoring valve 53 can achieve quantitative fertilization, thereby ensuring the germination rate of the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. After fertilization is completed, the gathering plate 543 gathers the soil on both sides of the furrow and covers the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds again. At this time, the pressing wheel 544 lightly compacts the gathered loose soil, so that the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds are in full contact with the soil, which is conducive to the germination and growth of the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds.
