[0002] Under the dual pressures of a rapidly expanding population and surging food consumption demand, the global agricultural production system is facing unprecedented challenges. Improving agricultural production efficiency, reducing production costs, and ensuring sustainable development have become urgent needs in the agricultural sector. Although seeding machinery is being promoted, it is poorly suited for small and medium-sized farms and lacks sufficient automation. Legumes, in particular, require high precision in seeding, demanding accurate control of plant spacing, depth, and density to ensure yield. Traditional machinery is prone to problems such as missed planting, double planting, or seed damage. Against this backdrop, the rise of agricultural robotics technology offers a completely new solution for modern agriculture.

[0003] However, existing methods of sowing beans mostly rely on manual operation, resulting in low sowing efficiency. At the same time, existing sowing devices are mostly used with a fixed slope, which limits the scope of application of the entire device. In order to solve the above problems, this utility model designs a bean sowing robot. Utility Model Content

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This invention uses a flow control motor to drive the main flow regulating disc to rotate, which in turn drives the secondary flow regulating disc to rotate via a belt. This, in turn, drives the flow control shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the flow control plate to rotate. This allows the size of the material leakage hole to be changed, thereby changing the seed falling speed. This enables the control of the seed quantity according to different required concentrations, ensuring sowing accuracy and improving sowing efficiency, thus guaranteeing sowing results. Furthermore, this robot has a high degree of automation, thereby saving labor.

[0012] The telescopic rod of this invention extends to lower the trenching plate, thereby driving the trenching block deeper into the ground. This allows the robot to trench as it moves, and the trenching depth can be controlled according to the required sowing depth to ensure trenching accuracy. Furthermore, the soil covering motor drives the connecting shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the positioning plate to rotate around the connecting shaft. This allows the soil covering wheel to be inserted into the ground, and the rotation of the soil covering wheel can cover the soil, thus ensuring the soil covering effect and the sowing effect.

[0013] This invention utilizes a soil-loosening motor to drive the main soil-loosening sprocket, which in turn drives the secondary soil-loosening sprocket via a soil-loosening chain, thereby driving the soil-loosening blades to rotate, thus facilitating soil loosening. A shifting motor drives a shifting shaft, which in turn drives the shifting strips to rotate around the shaft, and ultimately the soil-loosening roller to rotate around the shaft. This adapts to different slopes, ensuring effective soil loosening and facilitating subsequent sowing. Attached Figure Description

[0027] When using this robot, the operator moves the entire robot to the desired sowing position. The controller 101, via a mobile camera on the top of the vehicle body 1, observes the robot's movement. The controller 101 then drives the rollers 2 to rotate via the roller motor 201, allowing the robot to move and change direction simultaneously, thus moving it to the desired sowing position. The controller 101 then controls the shifting motor 609 to rotate the shifting shaft 608, which in turn rotates the shifting bar 607, causing the loosening roller 6 to press firmly against the ground. The controller 101 then controls the loosening motor 605 to operate, causing the loosening bearing 604 to rotate, which in turn rotates the loosening secondary sprocket 602, thus rotating the loosening roller 6 and initiating loosening. The controller 101 then controls the robot to move to the left. The device 101 controls the extension of the telescopic rod 701 according to the required sowing depth, thereby driving the furrowing plate 702 to descend, which in turn drives the furrowing block 703 to insert into the ground. This allows furrowing to be achieved when the robot moves to the left. Furthermore, the controller 101 controls the flow control motor 5 to work according to the required sowing density, thereby driving the flow regulating main disk 501 to rotate, which in turn drives the flow regulating secondary disk 503 to rotate, which in turn drives the flow control shaft 304 to rotate, which in turn drives the flow control plate 303 to rotate. The amount of material fed can be observed through the sowing camera 302. Furthermore, the controller 101 controls the soil covering motor 404 to rotate the connecting shaft 402, which in turn drives the positioning plate 401 to rotate, which causes the soil covering wheel 4 to insert into the ground. Thus, when the robot moves to the left, the rotation of the soil covering wheel 4 completes the soil covering work, thereby ensuring the sowing effect.

[0028] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using this robot, the operator moves the entire robot to the desired sowing position. The controller 101 observes the movement of the entire robot through a mobile camera on the top of the vehicle body 1. At this time, the controller 101 drives the roller 2 to rotate via the roller motor 201, thereby enabling the entire robot to move and change direction simultaneously, thus moving the entire robot to the desired sowing position. Then, the controller 101 controls the shifting motor 609 to drive the shifting shaft 608 to rotate, thereby driving the shifting strip 607 to rotate, thus causing the loosening roller 6 to press firmly against the ground. At this time, the controller 101 controls the loosening motor 605 to operate, thereby driving the loosening bearing 604 to rotate, thereby driving the loosening secondary sprocket 602 to rotate, thus driving the loosening roller 6 to rotate, thus beginning the loosening process. Further, the controller 101 controls the robot to move to the left... In the first step, the controller 101 controls the extension of the telescopic rod 701 according to the required sowing depth, thereby driving the furrowing plate 702 to descend, which in turn drives the furrowing block 703 to insert into the ground. This allows furrowing to be achieved when the robot moves to the left. Further, the controller 101 controls the flow control motor 5 to operate according to the required sowing density, thereby driving the main flow regulating disc 501 to rotate, which in turn drives the secondary flow regulating disc 503 to rotate, which in turn drives the flow control shaft 304 to rotate, which in turn drives the flow control plate 303 to rotate. The amount of material fed can be observed through the sowing camera 302. Further, the controller 101 controls the covering motor 404 to rotate the connecting shaft 402, which in turn drives the positioning plate 401 to rotate, causing the covering wheel 4 to insert into the ground. Thus, when the robot moves to the left, the rotation of the covering wheel 4 completes the covering work, ensuring the sowing effect.
