Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application pertains to the field of quinoa cultivation, specifically a multi-functional quinoa planter. Background Technology

[0002] Quinoa is a highly nutritious false grain native to the Andes Mountains of South America. It is rich in high-quality protein, dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins, and is gluten-free and has a low glycemic index, making it suitable for vegetarians, people with gluten intolerance, and those who pay attention to healthy eating.

[0003] Quinoa seeds are small, resembling small, round tablets with a diameter of 1.5-2 mm and a thousand-seed weight of 1.4-3 g. This presents challenges such as difficult sowing, significant resource loss, and high labor costs. Therefore, before sowing, quinoa seeds often need to be pelleted to increase their size and roundness, making them suitable for precision mechanized sowing. This saves considerable labor, reduces the need for manual sowing, and the pelleting material provides nutritional support, promoting seed germination and seedling growth, thus increasing yield and quality. For example, multi-element micronutrients, insecticides, and fungicides can be added during the pelleting process, allowing the seeds to be planted with fertilizer and pesticides, thus protecting seedlings, promoting strong seedlings, and regulating plant growth.

[0004] Currently, while pelleting quinoa seeds can increase their particle size, current mechanized planting methods rely on rotating perforated rollers to allow seeds to fall into the holes. However, if the topmost pelleted quinoa seed, after entering the hole, is more than half its volume, the roller cannot remove it from the hole because the shell of the quinoa seed is only in contact with the seed's upper surface. Furthermore, the seed cannot fully penetrate the hole, hindering roller rotation and affecting sowing. Therefore, a multi-functional quinoa planter is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by designing a multi-functional quinoa planter through the inclusion of a seed storage box, a material storage trough, a feeding block, and a maintenance mechanism. This solves the problem of equipment jamming during the feeding process of quinoa seeds in existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A multifunctional quinoa seeder includes a seeder vehicle, a seed storage box at the rear of the seeder vehicle, rollers at the bottom of the seed storage box, a material storage trough on the outer wall of the rollers, a motor on the right side of the rollers, the output shaft of the motor being fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rollers, a feeding block being fixedly connected to the bottom of the seed storage box, and a maintenance mechanism inside the rollers.

[0008] Preferably, the maintenance mechanism includes an arc-shaped groove, which is formed on the inner wall of the roller. An arc-shaped strip is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove. Adjustment components are provided on both the left and right sides of the arc-shaped strip, and a push-blocking component is provided inside the arc-shaped strip.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning component includes a positioning groove, which is formed at both ends of the arc-shaped strip. The roller has a sliding groove on the inner wall of both the left and right sides of the arc-shaped strip. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A control rod is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate near the arc-shaped strip. A pressure block is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate away from the arc-shaped strip. The side of the sliding plate near the arc-shaped strip is elastically connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove by a spring. A contact block is provided within the range of motion of the pressure block.

[0010] Preferably, the pusher assembly includes a sliding groove, which is formed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped strip. The sliding groove is arc-shaped. A baffle is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A pusher block is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle near the opening of the sliding groove. The side of the baffle away from the pusher block is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove by a spring sheet, which is a C-shaped spring sheet.

[0011] Preferably, mounting plates are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the left and right sides of the seed storage box, the contact block is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate near the middle of the seed storage box, and the motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the right mounting plate.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the seed storage box. The connecting frame is suspended at the rear end of the seeding vehicle. A support bar is fixedly connected to the rear end of the connecting frame. A universal wheel is provided at the bottom end of the support bar, and the bottom of the universal wheel is in contact with the ground. The axle of the wheel is rotatably connected to the connecting frame.

[0013] Preferably, the material guide block is formed by combining an arc shape and an obtuse L-shape, with the arc-shaped area of ​​the material guide block located outside the roller and concentrically positioned with the roller.

[0014] Preferably, the projected shape of the control groove is a rectangle with one corner cut off, the side of the pressure block that contacts the slide plate is arc-shaped, and the side of the pressure block away from the slide plate is provided with an inclined chamfer.

[0015] This application has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This application, through the setting of arc-shaped strips, control slots, sliding plates, control rods, pressure blocks, springs, stops, and spring sheets, ensures that when the quinoa seeds entering the storage tank and being on the outermost side exceed half of their total volume, their outer wall first contacts the outer arc surface of the push block and moves outward under the push of the outer arc surface until the volume entering the storage tank is less than half before contacting the inner wall of the seed storage box. This achieves the effect of preventing the equipment from being stuck due to the quinoa seeds getting stuck in the control slot.

[0017] 2. This application ensures that quinoa seeds can only enter and exit the storage tank near the highest and lowest points by setting up feeding blocks, pressure blocks, contact blocks, baffles, push blocks, etc., thereby preventing some quinoa seeds from leaving the storage tank during movement, ensuring that the feeding time of quinoa seeds is controllable, and achieving the effect of improving the feeding stability during the quinoa seed planting process.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The outer wall of the roller 3 is provided with a storage trough 4. A motor 5 is provided on the right side of the roller 3. The output shaft of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the roller 3. The motor 5 is used to drive the roller 3 to rotate. A feeding block 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the seed storage box 2. The storage trough 4 is used to transport the quinoa seeds in the seed storage box 2 to the top of the feeding block 6. The feeding block 6 is shaped by combining an arc and an obtuse L-shape. The arc area of ​​the feeding block 6 is set outside the roller 3. The arc area ensures that the quinoa seeds will not fall directly without entering the feeding area of ​​the feeding block 6. The arc area of ​​the feeding block 6 is concentric with the roller 3.

[0029] As a preferred method, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A connecting frame 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the seed storage box 2. The connecting frame 9 is suspended at the rear end of the seeding vehicle 1. A support bar 10 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the connecting frame 9. The support bar 10 is used to provide support for the connecting frame 9 and its internal components. A universal wheel is provided at the bottom end of the support bar 10. The universal wheel ensures that the equipment can be moved easily, and the bottom of the universal wheel is in contact with the ground. The rotating shaft of the roller 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 9. The connecting frame 9 is used to limit the height of the roller 3.

[0030] As a preferred method, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8The roller 3 is provided with a maintenance mechanism 7 inside. The maintenance mechanism 7 includes an arc groove 71. The arc groove 71 is arc-shaped and is concentric with the roller 3. The arc groove 71 is opened on the inner wall of the roller 3. An arc strip 72 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc groove 71. The curvature of the arc strip 72 is consistent with the curvature of the arc groove 71.

[0031] As a preferred method, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 Adjustment components 73 are provided on both the left and right sides of the arc-shaped strip 72. Each adjustment component 73 includes a control groove 731, which is located at both ends of the arc-shaped strip 72. The projected shape of the control groove 731 is a rectangle with one corner cut off. The shape of the control groove 731 ensures that it can move when subjected to force on its inclined surface. The roller 3 has a sliding groove 732 on the inner wall of both the left and right sides of the arc-shaped strip 72. The side of the arc-shaped strip 72 away from the opening of the sliding groove 732 is magnetically connected to the inner wall of the control groove 731. The slide 732 is connected to a magnetic stripe 72. A magnet is located inside the arc-shaped strip 72 on the side furthest from the opening of the slide groove 732. A magnet is also located inside the roller 3 on the side of the slide groove 732 closest to the arc-shaped strip 72, near its end. The magnetic poles of the roller and roller 3 are opposite on their closest sides. A sliding plate 733 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 732. A control rod 734 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 733 on the side closest to the arc-shaped strip 72. The control rod 734 is located inside the control groove 731. A pressure block 735 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 733 on the side furthest from the arc-shaped strip 72. The surface of the pressure block 735 that contacts the slide plate 733 is arc-shaped. The side of the pressure block 735 away from the slide plate 733 has an inclined chamfer. This inclined chamfer ensures that the pressure block 735 can move in the direction of entering the slide groove 732 after being subjected to force in the rotational direction. The side of the slide plate 733 near the arc-shaped strip 72 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the control groove 731 via a spring 736. One end of the spring 736 is fixedly connected to the side of the slide plate 733 near the arc-shaped strip 72. The other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the control slot 731. A contact block 737 is provided within the range of motion of the pressure block 735. Two contact blocks 737 are provided on each side of the roller 3. When the storage tank 4 rotates to the area close to the top and the area close to the bottom, the corresponding pressure block 735 contacts the contact block 737. The bottom ends of the left and right sides of the seed storage box 2 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 8. The contact block 737 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 8 near the middle of the seed storage box 2. The motor 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the right mounting plate 8.

[0032] As a preferred method, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8The arc-shaped strip 72 is internally provided with a pusher assembly 74, which includes a sliding groove 741. The sliding groove 741 is formed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped strip 72 and is arc-shaped. A baffle 742 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 741. The sliding path of the baffle 742 is arc-shaped. A pusher block 743 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 742 near the opening of the sliding groove 741. The side of the pusher block 743 away from the baffle 742 is set as a pointed tip. The pointed tip of the pusher block 743 is connected to a roller. 3. The distance between the outer walls is less than half the average diameter of quinoa seeds. The maximum thickness of the push block 743 is greater than half the average diameter of quinoa seeds but less than the average diameter of quinoa seeds. The side of the baffle 742 away from the push block 743 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 741 by a spring piece 744. One end of the spring piece 744 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 742 away from the push block 743, and the other end of the spring piece 744 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 741. The spring piece 744 is a C-shaped spring piece.

[0033] Working principle: When in use, the motor 5 drives the roller 3 to rotate. When the roller 3 rotates to a certain row of storage tanks 4 near the area directly above its axis, the inclined surface of the corresponding pressure block 735 gradually moves toward the contact block 737. Since the contact block 737 cannot move, the pressure block 735 moves toward the direction of entering the slide 732.

[0034] During the movement of the pressure block 735, it drives the slide plate 733 to move synchronously with it, thereby causing the slide plate 733 to drive the control rod 734 to move synchronously with it.

[0035] During the movement of the control lever 734, it contacts the inclined surface of the control groove 731, thus pushing the inclined surface of the control groove 731, thereby pushing the arc-shaped bar 72 to move. Therefore, the arc-shaped bar 72 is pushed to move away from the storage tank 4.

[0036] As the arc-shaped bar 72 moves, it drives the baffle 742 to move synchronously with it. Therefore, the baffle 742 drives the push block 743 to move in the direction of entering the arc-shaped groove 71. Thus, the storage trough 4 is not blocked at this time.

[0037] Since the storage trough 4 is not blocked, the quinoa seeds enter the storage trough 4 under the action of gravity.

[0038] When the roller 3 rotates until the pressure block 735 no longer contacts the contact block 737, the slide plate 733 is reset under the elastic force of the spring 736, thus driving the control rod 734 and the pressure block 735 to reset. At the same time, the arc strip 72 is reset by magnetic attraction.

[0039] At this time, if the outermost quinoa seed grains fail to completely enter the storage tank 4 and the volume of the grains entering is greater than half of the total volume, the push block 743 will push its lower surface. Therefore, the push block 743 can push it outward, so that the area where it enters the storage tank 4 is less than half of its total volume. Therefore, when the roller 3 rotates to the point where its outer wall contacts the inner wall of the seed storage box 2, its spherical surface can be carried out of the storage tank 4 during the contact with the inner wall of the seed storage box 2, so that the roller 3 can rotate normally.

[0040] If the outermost quinoa seed is completely inside the storage trough 4, or if the outermost quinoa seed is not completely inside the storage trough 4 but its total volume inside the storage trough 4 is less than half of its total volume, then the push block 743 will contact the outermost quinoa seed, or the upper spherical surface of the second to last quinoa seed. Since the push block 743 can only push the quinoa seed towards the side closer to the axis of the roller 3 when it applies force, it cannot push the quinoa seed out of the storage trough 4. Therefore, it cannot push the quinoa seed, but can only move relative to the arc strip 72, that is, enter the interior of the sliding groove 741.

[0041] After the roller 3 rotates until the storage trough 4 is completely away from the inner area of ​​the seed storage box 2, the push block 743 corresponding to the storage trough 4 is in a state of completely blocking the outer surface of the storage trough 4 or squeezing the outermost quinoa seeds. Therefore, in this state, the quinoa seeds inside the storage trough 4 cannot fall, thus ensuring that the falling time of the quinoa seeds is constant and will not be affected by falling in the middle.

[0042] When the roller 3 rotates to the area directly below the axis of the storage trough 4, the corresponding pressure block 735 moves towards the side closer to the middle of the roller 3 under the relative movement of the contact block 737 below. At this time, the arc strip 72 moves and drives the push block 743 to move away from the outside of the storage trough 4. Therefore, the quinoa seeds can enter the top opening of the feed block 6 under the action of gravity and fall along the feed trough opened on its inner wall.
