[0021] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0023] This application discloses a wheat seed planting depth adjuster. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A wheat seed planting depth adjuster includes a support 1, a furrow opener 3 at the bottom of the support 1, a sowing device 4 fixedly connected to one side of the support 1, a soil covering wheel 5 rotatably connected to one side of the sowing device 4, and a depth adjustment mechanism 2 at the bottom of the support 1.
[0024] The depth adjustment mechanism 2 includes a pressing rod 201, which is located at the bottom of the support 1. Both ends of the pressing rod 201 extend through the inner wall of the support 1. A trencher 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing rod 201. An electric telescopic rod 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support 1. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressing rod 201. The pressing rod 201 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support 1 via the electric telescopic rod 202. Both ends of the pressing rod 201 are fixed to the inner wall. The system includes a multi-section telescopic rod 207. Each telescopic end of the multi-section telescopic rod 207 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 203. One side of each limiting plate 203 contacts the inner wall of the pressing rod 201. Springs 204 are fitted onto both ends of the multi-section telescopic rod 207. One end of each spring 204 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 203, and the other end of each spring 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pressing rod 201. One side of each limiting plate 203 is fixedly connected to a limiting ball 20. 5. Both limiting balls 205 penetrate the inner wall of the pressing rod 201 and extend to the outer side. The inner wall of the bracket 1 has six slots 206. The surface of the limiting balls 205 contacts the inner wall of the slots 206. By setting a depth adjustment mechanism 2, the pressing rod 201 is driven to move down by the electric telescopic rod 202. The limiting balls 205 retract under the pressure of the inner wall of the bracket 1. When the preset depth is reached, they are locked into the slots 206. At the same time, the limiting balls 205 pop into the slots 206 or the inner wall and make a clicking sound as a prompt of arrival. Combined with the three slots 206 with different intervals corresponding to different sowing depths, the overall sowing depth can be quickly adjusted. This avoids the inconvenience and safety hazards caused by the bending over operation required by traditional hand-cranked adjustment, significantly reduces labor intensity, improves work efficiency, and the mechanical locking is stable and reliable. It can effectively resist field vibration and ensure consistent sowing depth. The acoustic feedback allows the operator to intuitively judge the adjustment status and prevent misoperation.
[0025] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A support plate 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket 1. There are six support plates 6. The top of each of the six support plates 6 is fixedly connected to a positioning shaft 8. The support plates 6 can support and fix the positioning shaft 8, providing a support point for the support pressure rod 201.
[0026] Reference Figure 5 An L-shaped plate 7 is rotatably connected to the surface of the positioning shaft 8. The L-shaped plate 7 works in conjunction with the lower pressure rod 201. The L-shaped plate 7 can support the lower pressure rod 201 after the depth is adjusted, ensuring the stability of the trencher 3 during operation.
[0027] Reference Figure 5A damping bearing 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 7. The inner ring of the damping bearing 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning shaft 8. By setting the damping bearing 9, the resistance of the L-shaped plate 7 when rotating is increased, and the L-shaped plate 7 is prevented from shaking due to external vibration, thereby ensuring that the L-shaped plate 7 remains in the angular position after adjustment.
[0028] Reference Figure 5 The inner wall of the support plate 6 is provided with positioning grooves 10, and there are two positioning grooves 10. The inner wall of the L-shaped plate 7 is provided with limiting grooves 11. The positioning grooves 10 and limiting grooves 11 are used together. The inner walls of the limiting grooves 11 and positioning grooves 10 are threaded with positioning pins 12. Through the setting of positioning grooves 10, limiting grooves 11 and positioning pins 12, the position of the L-shaped plate 7 can be locked. When the L-shaped plate 7 is adjusted to the required position, the positioning pins 12 are inserted into the corresponding positioning grooves 10 and limiting grooves 11, and then fixed by the constraint of the limiting grooves 11 to prevent the L-shaped plate 7 from rotating freely.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 The top of the pressing rod 201 is fixedly connected with a guide rod 13. There are two guide rods 13, and one end of each guide rod 13 extends through the inner wall of the bracket 1. The guide rods 13 can provide guidance for the pressing electric telescopic rod 202 during the extension and retraction process, while ensuring the balance of the pressing action.
[0030] Working principle: The wheat seed planting device uses the furrow opener 3 at the front end to create small furrows suitable for seed burial on the field surface. As the machine moves forward, it carves furrows of a certain depth in the soil. The seeds are stored in the sowing device 4 and evenly distributed to the rear of each furrow opener 3 at a predetermined rate through the seed delivery tube. After the seeds fall into the furrows, the soil covering wheel 5 backfills and covers the seeds. Then, the compaction wheel gently compacts the soil. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further. When it is necessary to adjust the planting depth of the wheat seeds, the user can activate the electric telescopic rod 202 through an external control switch. Powered by an external power source, the extension of the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 202 drives the downward pressure rod 201 to move downward. The downward pressure rod 201 drives the trencher 3 to move downward synchronously. As the downward pressure rod 201 moves downward, the limiting balls 205 inside both ends of the downward pressure rod 201 will disengage from the first slot 206. The inner wall of the bracket 1 will compress the limiting balls 205. The pressure will be transmitted to the multi-section telescopic rod 207 and the spring 204 through the limiting balls 205. The multi-section telescopic rod 207 and the spring 204 will compress synchronously, providing space for the compressed limiting balls 205 to retract. After being compressed, the spring 204 stores elastic potential energy. After the external force is removed... It can automatically release energy. When the pressing lever 201 moves to the required position, the corresponding slot 206 is aligned with the limiting ball 205. The uncompressed limiting ball 205 provides release space. At this time, the compressed spring 204 quickly rebounds, pushing the limiting ball 205 outward and into the slot 206. At the same time, it drives the multi-section telescopic rod 207 to return to a stable state. When the limiting ball 205 is fully in the slot 206 and contacts the inner wall of the bracket 1, a slight collision will occur, producing a clear clicking sound. This sound serves as intuitive auditory feedback, indicating to the operator that the pressing lever 201 has accurately reached the preset depth and completed the operation. Lock the L-shaped plate 7 to ensure it is properly adjusted. Then, manually rotate the L-shaped plate 7 to position it below the pressure rod 201, supporting the pressure rod 201 and keeping it in a stable state. This ensures the stability of the furrow opener 3 during operation. Next, insert the positioning pin 12 into the positioning groove 10 and the limiting groove 11 to lock the L-shaped plate 7, preventing it from rotating and improving the stability of the support. The distribution of the three slots 206 corresponds to the commonly used wheat sowing depth standards of 3 cm for shallow sowing, 5 cm for medium sowing, and 7 cm for deep sowing, ensuring that the user can quickly and accurately select the appropriate sowing depth setting.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
