Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn planting technology, and in particular to a planting component for popcorn breeding. Background Technology
[0002] Popcorn ears and kernels are smaller than those of regular corn, with a compact and hard structure. The kernels are mostly yellow or white, but can also be brown or mottled. They have a high degree of expansion and bursting ability when exposed to high temperatures, and even when the kernels are smashed into pieces, they do not lose their expansion and bursting power.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional corn planting devices mostly use seed-metering wheels or seeding trays with fixed apertures, which are mainly suitable for ordinary corn kernels with larger particle sizes. However, popcorn kernels are usually smaller, with a compact and hard structure. When discharged by seed-metering wheels or seeding trays, it is not easy to accurately measure the quantity, and there is a lack of effective delivery and quantitative control of small seeds, resulting in a significant decrease in planting accuracy and efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that it is difficult to achieve stable and uniform quantitative sowing of popcorn seeds with small particle size.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a seeding component for popcorn breeding, including a storage bin, the storage bin having a horizontal cylindrical structure and a feed inlet at the top of the storage bin, a pusher motor fixedly installed on one side of the storage bin, a pusher plate located inside the storage bin being fixedly connected to the output end of the pusher motor, a discharge bin connected below the storage bin, a discharge outlet at the bottom of the discharge bin, a rotary motor fixedly connected to one side of the discharge bin, and a discharge vane inclined along the discharge outlet being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output end of the rotary motor.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the discharge blade is a spiral plate-shaped blade, and the discharge blade is horizontally placed inside the discharge bin.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the pusher plate has a disc-shaped structure, and the diameter of the pusher plate is the same as the inner diameter of the storage bin.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner side of the wall of the storage bin and the edge of the pusher plate are polished, and the wall and the pusher plate are slidably connected.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, anti-collision frames are fastened to both sides of the storage bin by assembly bolts, and the anti-collision frames are rectangular frame structures.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, screw holes are provided at all four corners of the anti-collision frame, and combination bolts are fastened in the screw holes. The anti-collision frame can be assembled with the traction device by the combination bolts.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The three-dimensional layout of the horizontal storage silo and the bottom discharge silo achieves integrated storage, feeding, and discharge of seed material. The inlet facilitates loading by operators, the pusher motor drives the pusher plate to actively transport the seed material, and the discharge vane can rotate continuously or intermittently via a rotating motor. Combined with the inclined discharge port, this further ensures smooth and uniform discharge during the sowing process. An anti-collision frame is added to the periphery of the device, and stable assembly is achieved through combined bolts and a traction device, improving the device's impact resistance and service life, making it suitable for efficient operation requirements in various sowing scenarios.

[0017] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly mentioned in this specification are defined relative to their structure and are relative concepts. Therefore, they may vary depending on their location and usage; thus, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.
[0018] The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in this specification are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes one or more of the associated listed items, any or all possible combinations thereof.
[0019] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0020] This utility model provides a seeding component for popcorn breeding, including a storage bin 1;
[0021] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the storage bin 1 has a horizontal cylindrical structure, and a feed inlet 2 is provided at the top of the storage bin 1 for users to inject seed material. A pusher motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the storage bin 1, and the output end of the pusher motor 3 is fixedly connected to a pusher plate 4 located inside the storage bin 1. The pusher plate 4 has a disc-shaped structure, and the diameter of the pusher plate 4 is the same as the inner diameter of the storage bin 1, which facilitates the discharge of seed material into the discharge bin 5 below. At the same time, since the inner side of the wall of the storage bin 1 and the edge of the pusher plate 4 are polished, and the wall and the pusher plate 4 are slidably connected with a gap between them, the seed material is prevented from getting stuck.
[0022] As attached Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the discharge bin 5 is connected and installed below the storage bin 1. The bottom of the discharge bin 5 has a discharge port 6. A rotary motor 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the discharge bin 5. A discharge vane 8 inclined along the discharge port 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output end of the rotary motor 7. Since the discharge vane 8 is a spiral plate-shaped vane and is horizontally placed inside the discharge bin 5, after the rotary motor 7 is started, the discharge vane 8 slowly rotates and discharges the seed material out of the discharge port 6.
[0023] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the anti-collision frame 9 is securely surrounded and installed around the storage bin 1 by mounting bolts 11, and the anti-collision frame 9 has a rectangular frame structure to prevent external impact. Screw holes are provided at all four corners of the anti-collision frame 9, and combination bolts 10 are securely connected to these screw holes. The anti-collision frame 9 can be assembled with the traction device via the combination bolts 10, facilitating assembly.
[0024] Working Principle: In practical application, the operator first connects the feeding device to the horizontally placed cylindrical storage silo 1 through the inlet 2, allowing for the injection of popped corn seeds into the silo 1 in batches. After starting the pusher motor 3, its output end drives the pusher plate 4 to slowly push the seeds axially, conveying them to the discharge silo 5 below. In the discharge silo 5, the rotating motor 7 drives the discharge vane 8 fixed to the outer wall to rotate continuously and slowly. During rotation, the spiral discharge vane 8 evenly guides the seeds entering the silo to the outlet 6, achieving continuous and quantitative discharge of the seeds. At the same time, the anti-collision frame 9 covers the main body of the storage silo 1, effectively resisting external mechanical impacts and improving the overall stability of the device. The combination of bolts 10 and assembly bolts 11 ensures that the device can be quickly connected to the seeding traction system and easily disassembled.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
