Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sugarcane seed planting, and more specifically, to an automatic seeding device for an automated sugarcane planter. Background Technology
[0002] Seed stalks refer to sugarcane segments cut from a whole sugarcane stalk, each segment containing one to two nodes. Standardized sugarcane seed stalks are produced in processing plants and are of uniform length, typically 23-25 cm. The planting process involves first using a seeder to create furrows, then scattering the sugarcane seed stalks at regular intervals into the furrows, and finally backfilling the furrows with soil.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118542131A discloses a "Standardized Automatic Sugarcane Seed Stalk Planting Device." This invention discloses a standardized automatic sugarcane seed stalk planting device, comprising: a working platform; a sugarcane seed stalk storage box, disposed on the working platform and connected to a vibrator, the storage box having an inlet and an outlet, the outlet for discharging individual sugarcane seed stalks; a sorting track, the inlet of which is connected to the outlet, the outlet corresponding to the inlet of the planting container of the planting component, the sorting track for arranging sugarcane seed stalks side-by-side within the sorting track; a pushing component, disposed at the outlet of the sorting track; a planting component, disposed on the working platform, for conveying sugarcane seed stalks to the planting component; and a planting component, connected to the planting component. The standardized automatic sugarcane seed stalk planting device of the present invention can realize the automatic planting of sugarcane seed stalks without the need for manual placement of sugarcane seed stalks into the seed metering device, and belongs to the technical field of sugarcane seed stalk planting equipment, but still has the following defects:
[0004] (1) Relying solely on the vibration of the oscillator to make the seed stalk slide towards the discharge port makes it difficult to accurately control the single seed output, which may lead to adhesion or blockage. The sugarcane seed stalks are irregular in shape (bent, uneven in thickness) and easily accumulate in the sorting track, affecting continuous seed supply. This can easily cause unstable planting spacing and increase the rate of missed sowing (high cost of manual replanting).
[0005] (2) Without a fertilization device, it is difficult to accurately control the amount of fertilizer when manually spreading fertilizer, which can easily lead to uneven fertilizer distribution, making it impossible to control fertilization as needed. Excess fertilizer is lost or volatilized, requiring manual carrying of fertilizer or multiple shutdowns to replenish fertilizer, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0006] Therefore, an automatic seeding device for an automated sugarcane planter is proposed. Utility Model Content

The sugarcane seeds fall into the spiral seeding wheel 402. The spiral seeding wheel 402 rotates and the sugarcane seeds are evenly divided into single rows. They slide down the conveyor belt 404 into the seeding belts 405 on both sides.

This facilitates installation and connection to other machines for operation.
[0039] Specifically, the automatic seeding device of this automated sugarcane planter operates as follows: When in use, the motor 403 is turned on, and the planter moves to the area where furrowing is required. The first hydraulic rod 501 precisely controls the required furrow depth. The extension and retraction of the first hydraulic rod 501 inserts the furrow opener 504 into the ground. During operation, the furrow opener 504 continuously rotates to cut the soil, achieving the purpose of furrowing. Fertilizer is poured into the fertilizer tank 303. The amount of fertilizer applied is precisely adjusted by controlling the opening and closing of the regulating valve 302. When fertilization is needed: the regulating valve 302 is opened, and fertilizer falls evenly into the furrow through the discharge port 301, ensuring a quantitative supply. When fertilization is not needed: the regulating valve 302 is immediately closed, cutting off the fertilizer delivery. The motor 403 then drives the spiral seeding wheel 402 to rotate at a constant speed, transferring the sugarcane seeds through the seed storage bin. The top of 401 is poured in, and the sugarcane seeds fall into the spiral seeding wheel 402. The spiral seeding wheel 402 rotates and evenly divides the sugarcane seeds into a single row. The seeds slide down the conveyor belt 404 into the seeding belts 405 on both sides. The sugarcane seeds fall accurately into the prepared trench through the gaps in the seeding belts 405. The second hydraulic rod 601 adjusts the soil covering wheel 604 to a suitable height so that the wheel can lightly press the soil. The soil covering wheel 604 pushes the soil back into the trench through the rotation of the spiral. The film covering cloth 702 is rolled onto the rotating shaft 701, and the film head is pulled out and pressed into the soil. When the machine starts, the soil covering wheel 604 moves forward and drives the rotating shaft 701 inside the soil covering wheel 604 to rotate, which pulls the film covering cloth 702 open and flattens it. The three sets of support wheels 8 on the third support 602 press over the film covering cloth 702 and automatically press the edge of the film into the soil.
[0040] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0041] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
