Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed sowing technology, and in particular to a special rice seed sowing device for drones. Background Technology
[0002] Drone seed dispersal is a modern agricultural planting technology that uses drones equipped with specialized dispersing devices to achieve efficient and uniform seed dispersal. This technology offers advantages such as ease of operation, wide dispersal range, and labor savings, and is widely used in the sowing of crops such as rice, wheat, and corn. Drone seeding systems are typically equipped with advanced navigation and control systems, enabling precise positioning and path planning. Operators can send control commands through a ground control station and monitor the drone's flight status and operational activities in real time, greatly simplifying the operation process. Drones can cover large areas of farmland in a short time and are suitable for various terrains and crop planting needs. Whether in flat fields or complex hilly areas, drones can flexibly adjust their flight paths and speeds to achieve precise dispersal.
[0003] Currently, most drone seed-spreading devices have a fixed storage tank capacity, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to needs. This results in drones having to frequently return to the ground to refill seeds during large-scale sowing, reducing sowing efficiency. Therefore, we propose a drone-specific rice seed-spreading device. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a special rice seed sowing device for drones.
[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a special rice seed sowing device for drones, including a drone body, an installation plate fixedly connected to the right end of the drone body, a material storage component provided at the right end of the installation plate, and an adjustment component provided at the bottom of the material storage component;
[0006] The storage assembly includes a storage box, the inner wall of which has a sliding groove, and an extension frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the extension frame. The inner walls of both the storage box and the extension frame have several equally spaced threaded holes, and locking bolts are threaded to the inner walls of the threaded holes.
[0007] With the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the capacity of the storage box, first loosen the locking bolt, then pull the handle to move the extension frame upward. After adjusting to the appropriate position, connect the locking bolt to the threaded hole to lock and fix the position of the extension frame. This increases the storage capacity of the storage box, reduces the need for the drone to fly back to add seeds, and improves the sowing efficiency. The multiple threaded holes make it easy to install the locking bolt in different positions.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the left end of the storage box is fixedly connected to the right end of the mounting plate.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of handles is set to two, and the two handles are symmetrically distributed with the extension frame as the center.
[0010] The above technical solution, with its symmetrically arranged handles, makes it easy to pull the extension frame upwards, thus improving operational convenience.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the adjustment component includes a discharge pipe, a groove is provided on the left side of the inner wall of the discharge pipe, a partition plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe, an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the partition plate, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the right end of the electric push rod, and a buffer pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.
[0012] With the above technical solution, the electric push rod is connected to the power supply of the drone body to provide the power required for operation. The output end of the electric push rod drives the partition plate to slide on the inner wall of the discharge pipe, thereby adjusting the opening size of the discharge pipe and controlling the amount of seeds discharged. Since the partition plate is set at an angle, the seeds can slide out quickly. The buffer pad inside the groove reduces the impact on the inside of the discharge pipe when the partition plate closes, thus extending the service life of the discharge pipe.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the top of the discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box, and the discharge pipe is connected to the storage box.
[0014] Through the above technical solution, the rice seeds inside the storage box enter the discharge pipe due to gravity, and then are discharged for sowing.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, one end of the partition plate extends into the interior of the groove, and the partition plate is inclined.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, one end of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the surface of the storage box.
[0017] The above technical solution uses a mounting bracket to install and fix the electric linear actuator, ensuring its stability during use.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] This invention improves the storage capacity of the storage box by setting up a storage component. Specifically, when the capacity of the storage box needs to be adjusted, the locking bolt is first loosened, and then the handle is pulled to move the extension frame upward. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the locking bolt is threaded into the threaded hole to lock and fix the position of the extension frame. This increases the storage capacity of the storage box, reduces the need for the drone to fly back to add seeds, and improves the sowing efficiency.
[0020] This invention features an adjustment component that uses an electric push rod to drive a partition plate to slide along the inner wall of the discharge pipe, thereby adjusting the opening size of the discharge pipe and controlling the amount of seeds discharged. Because the partition plate is tilted, the seeds can slide out quickly. The buffer pad inside the groove reduces the impact on the inside of the discharge pipe when the partition plate closes, extending the service life of the discharge pipe. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0029] Example:
[0030] Please combine Figure 1-5This embodiment of a special rice seed sowing device for drones includes a drone body 1, an mounting plate 2 fixedly connected to the right end of the drone body 1, a material storage component 3 provided at the right end of the mounting plate 2, and an adjustment component 4 provided at the bottom of the material storage component 3.
[0031] The storage assembly 3 includes a storage bin 301. The inner wall of the storage bin 301 has a sliding groove 302. An extension frame 303 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 302. A handle 304 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension frame 303. The inner walls of both the storage bin 301 and the extension frame 303 have several equally spaced threaded holes 305. Locking bolts 306 are threadedly connected to the inner walls of the threaded holes 305. When it is necessary to adjust the capacity of the storage bin 301, first loosen the locking bolts 306, then pull the handle 304 to move the extension frame 303 upward. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the locking bolts 306 are threadedly connected to the threaded holes 305 to lock and fix the position of the extension frame 303. This increases the storage capacity of the storage bin 301, reduces the need for the drone body 1 to fly back to add seeds, and improves the sowing efficiency.
[0032] The left end of the storage box 301 is fixedly connected to the right end of the mounting plate 2.
[0033] There are two handles 304, which are symmetrically distributed with the extension frame 303 as the center.
[0034] The adjustment component 4 includes a discharge pipe 401. A groove 402 is provided on the left side of the inner wall of the discharge pipe 401. A partition plate 403 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 401. An electric push rod 404 is fixedly connected to the right end of the partition plate 403. A mounting bracket 405 is fixedly connected to the right end of the electric push rod 404. A buffer pad 406 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 402. During the flight of the UAV body 1, the electric push rod 404 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 404 drives the partition plate 403 to slide on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 401, thereby adjusting the opening size of the discharge pipe 401 and controlling the amount of seeds flowing out. The buffer pad 406 inside the groove 402 reduces the impact on the inside of the discharge pipe 401 when the partition plate 403 closes, thus extending the service life of the discharge pipe 401.
[0035] The top of the discharge pipe 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 301, and the discharge pipe 401 is connected to the storage box 301.
[0036] One end of the partition plate 403 extends into the interior of the groove 402. The partition plate 403 is inclined, which allows the seeds to slide down and be discharged quickly.
[0037] One end of the mounting bracket 405 is fixedly connected to the surface of the storage bin 301.
[0038] The implementation principle of the drone-specific rice seed sowing device in this application embodiment is as follows: During use, rice seeds are stored in the storage bin 301. During drone flight, the electric push rod 404 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 404 drives the partition plate 403 to slide against the inner wall of the discharge pipe 401, thereby adjusting the opening size of the discharge pipe 401 and controlling the seed outflow. Because the partition plate 403 is inclined, the seeds can quickly slide out and are further discharged through the buffer pad 406 inside the groove 402. The impact on the inside of the discharge pipe 401 when the partition plate 403 is closed is reduced, extending the service life of the discharge pipe 401. When it is necessary to adjust the capacity of the storage box 301, first loosen the locking bolt 306, then pull the handle 304 to move the extension frame 303 upward. After adjusting to the appropriate position, thread the locking bolt 306 and thread the threaded hole 305 to lock and fix the position of the extension frame 303. This increases the storage capacity of the storage box 301, reduces the need for the drone body 1 to fly back to add seeds, and improves the sowing efficiency.
[0039] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
