Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crop planting technology, specifically to a pumpkin planter with a soil covering function. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of large-scale pumpkin cultivation, mechanized sowing is a key link to improve production efficiency. At present, common pumpkin planters mainly adopt a single sowing path reciprocating operation mode, that is, the planter travels in a straight line, and after completing one row of sowing, it needs to adjust its direction and return to sow the next row.
[0003] This method relies on a traditional linear reciprocating seeding mechanism, which is suitable for small and medium-sized planting, but has obvious efficiency bottlenecks when operating in large-scale farmland.
[0004] However, existing sowing methods have the following drawbacks: Single sowing path: Existing seeders generally use a single straight path for back-and-forth operation. The sowing process is limited by the machine's round-trip time. The traditional single-path sowing mode cannot achieve simultaneous sowing of multiple rows, resulting in a limited sowing area per unit time and affecting the overall operation progress. Some machines with multiple sowing mechanisms have a relatively fixed spacing between adjacent discharge ports, which limits their applicability. Utility Model Content

[0042] In this embodiment, both sides of the base plate 100 are rotatably mounted with walking wheels 101, and the rear side of the top of the base plate 100 is fixedly mounted with a mounting arm 102.
[0043] The walking wheels 101 are mounted on both sides of the base plate 100 via bearings, and the mounting arms 102 are welded to the rear of the base plate 100 and connected to the agricultural machinery via pins.
[0044] Example: The equipment is suspended at the rear of the tractor, with the traveling wheels 101 rolling as it moves, and the mounting arm 102 bearing the traction force.
[0045] In this embodiment, the seeding unit 200 includes a mounting shell 201. The mounting shell 201 is fixedly mounted on the top of both the bottom plate 100 and the carrier plate 600. The mounting shell 201 has an installation chamber 209 inside. The top of the mounting shell 201 is fixedly mounted with a feeding channel 203. The top of the feeding channel 203 is fixedly connected to a communicating injection chamber 202. The top of the installation chamber 209 is provided with a second guide channel 208 communicating with the feeding channel 203. The bottom of the installation chamber 209 is provided with a first guide channel 206 communicating with the slotting unit 700. The inside of the installation chamber 209 is rotatably mounted with a guide plate 205, and the guide plate 205 has evenly distributed material conveying ports 207. The side of the mounting shell 201 is fixedly connected with a servo motor 204 for driving the guide plate 205.
[0046] The guide plate 205 inside the mounting shell 201 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 204, and the feed port 207 periodically aligns with the second guide channel 208 (which is for seeding) and the first guide channel 206 (which is for seeding).
[0047] Example: Seeds enter the second guide channel 208 from the feeding bin 202 via the feeding channel 203. The guide plate 205 rotates one grid, carrying one seed to the first guide channel 206, and then falls into the slot through the feeding pipe 706.
[0048] In this embodiment, the grooving unit 700 includes a connecting plate 701, a grooving plate 702, and a discharge nozzle 703. The back of both the base plate 100 and the carrier plate 600 are fixedly installed with a second fixing block 704. An adjustment component 705 is installed through the second fixing block 704. The bottom of the adjustment component 705 is connected to the connecting plate 701. The bottom of the connecting plate 701 is fixedly installed with the grooving plate 702. The discharge nozzle 703 is installed through the connecting plate 701 on the inner side of the grooving plate 702. The discharge nozzle 703 is fitted with a discharge pipe 706 that is connected to the guide channel 206.
[0049] The second adjusting component 705 is a threaded rod, which drives the connecting plate 701 to rise and fall when rotated, ensuring that the height of the slotted plate 702 corresponds to the sowing depth.
[0050] Example: Adjust the slotted plate 702 to the planting depth, and the feeding nozzle 703 will automatically extend and retract with the lifting and lowering to maintain communication with the feeding pipe 706.
[0051] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 404 and the connecting seat 402 are slidably connected. The connecting seat 402 is provided with an adjustment port 408 and is equipped with a fastening bolt 403 that passes through the adjustment port 408 and is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 404.
[0052] Loosening the fastening bolt 403 allows the sliding connecting seat 402 to adjust the spacing of the soil covering plate 401. The connecting seat 402 is slidably adjusted with the connecting plate 404 through the adjustment port 408, and then locked and tightened by the fastening bolt 403.
[0053] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 306 has a guide block that is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 302. The mounting groove 306 consists of two sets: one set has an adjusting member 307 threaded through the guide block, and the other set has a sliding rod 2 threaded through the guide block.
[0054] The guide block inside the installation trough 306 is raised and lowered by the adjusting component 307, and the sliding rod 2 provides auxiliary guidance, which drives the covering plate 301 to adjust the pressure of the membrane.
[0055] Example: Rotating adjustment component 307 causes the soil covering plate 301 and guide rod 303 to descend synchronously to the top of the soil, ensuring that the film can cover the soil while the edge soil covers the film.
[0056] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0057] When in use, the equipment is assembled and connected to the agricultural machinery via the mounting arm 102, and the electrical facilities on the equipment are also electrically connected to the control center on the agricultural machinery via wires, so that personnel can control the equipment on the agricultural machinery; then the required amount of pumpkin seeds are injected into the feeding bin 202, and the seeds in the feeding bin 202 will enter the guide channel 208 through the feeding channel 203 to wait for feeding;
[0058] The second step involves rotating the adjusting rod 501 via a rotating component, causing the carrier plate 600 to adjust its displacement within the mounting opening 103 in real time. This ensures that the sowing spacing meets the required ridge width. Next, the adjusting component 705 is rotated to adjust the connecting plate 701, thus adjusting the height of the slotted plate 702. Simultaneously, the feeding nozzle 703 is moved along the feeding pipe 706 for extension and retraction. Finally, the adjusting component 407 is rotated to adjust the working height of the covering plate 401. Both 07 and adjustment component 2 705 are composed of a threaded adjustment rod and a positioning rod. This ensures that the threaded adjustment rod can drive the bottom structure to rise and fall when it rotates. Then, the film roller to be covered is placed in the placement seat 305. The width of the selected film must meet the size spacing of the placement seat 305. The front end of the film is pulled out for initial soil covering to achieve the positioning of the film end for subsequent traction and lowering. Finally, the adjustment component 1 307 is rotated to make the soil covering plate 1 301 and the guide rod 303 rise and fall synchronously.
[0059] The third step involves the agricultural machinery moving the equipment, which moves synchronously via the walking wheels 101. At this time, the grooving plate 702 opens a path in the soil, and the servo motor 204 is started to drive the guide plate 205 to rotate. The guide plate 205 uses its own conveying port 207 to take away an equal amount of pumpkin seeds from the second guide channel 208. When it rotates to the position of the first guide channel 206, the pumpkin seeds will fall automatically. Finally, they are poured into the opened grooves through the guide pipe 706 and the discharge nozzle 703.
[0060] Then, as the equipment moves, the second soil covering plate 401 at the rear can gather the soil after the trench is opened, realizing the soil covering operation of the trench. Since the front end of the film is positioned, the film roller on the placement seat 305 will rotate and release the film as the equipment moves. The film passes out from under the guide rod 303. The film is pressed by the guide rod 303 to make it contact the soil. Then, the first soil covering plate 301 at the rear can gather the soil on both sides of the film again, so that the soil covers and presses the film to the edge. The first and second soil covering plates are both designed with a 45° inclination, and the soil covering thickness is 2-4cm. The soil in the working environment is normal loam.
