Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn planting soil covering devices, and more specifically, to a corn double-ridge furrow intermittent soil covering device. Background Technology

[0002] The corn double-ridge furrow soil covering device refers to an agricultural machinery device specifically designed for the corn double-ridge furrow planting pattern. Its core function is to cover the furrows where corn seeds have been sown with soil, thereby creating the best environment for seed germination and seedling growth.

[0003] Traditional soil covering devices typically consist of continuously rotating covering wheels or plates, performing the covering operation continuously as the seeder moves. However, in the double-row planting pattern for corn, seeds are sown into the furrows at intervals. Continuous soil covering covers the gaps between seeds, and repeatedly compacting and covering seedless areas can easily form a hardened layer, hindering subsequent seedling root growth and rainwater infiltration. Furthermore, corn planting patterns vary, with different varieties, regions, and agronomical requirements necessitating different double-row furrow spacings. Existing soil covering devices typically have covering wheels mounted at fixed intervals on the frame. This is incompatible with planting patterns requiring different spacing, potentially necessitating the replacement of different specifications of soil covering devices, increasing purchase costs and preparation time. Even if some devices allow manual spacing adjustment, it often requires stopping the machine, using tools, or multiple people working together, and the adjustment accuracy is difficult to guarantee, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a device for intermittent soil covering in the furrows of corn double ridges.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intermittent soil covering device for corn double-ridge furrows, comprising a frame, a translation mechanism mounted on the frame, and two translation seats mounted on the translation mechanism. The translation mechanism can drive the two translation seats to move away from or towards each other. Each translation seat is hingedly mounted with a soil covering unit. The frame is equipped with a drive mechanism for driving the two soil covering units. The translation mechanism includes a horizontal guide rod, a first motor, a first bearing, and a lead screw connecting the first motor and the first bearing. The drive mechanism includes a second motor and a drive gear driven by the second motor. The unit comprises two driven gears and a drive rod installed between the two driven gears. The soil covering unit includes a translation plate, a mounting arm fixedly connected to the translation plate, and a soil covering wheel installed on the mounting arm. The translation plate is fixed with a first hinge seat, and the translation seat is fixed with a second hinge seat that is hinged to the first hinge seat. An insertion rod is installed between the two translation plates. Both translation plates have insertion holes that mate with the insertion rod. The insertion rod is fixed with a fixing ring, and the fixing ring is fixed with a third hinge seat. One end of the drive rod is hinged to both driven gears, and the other end is hinged to the third hinge seat.

[0006] Furthermore, the frame includes two L-shaped frames, a U-shaped frame connecting the two L-shaped frames, and a mounting shell connecting the two L-shaped frames, with the translation mechanism installed inside the mounting shell.

[0007] This provides a certain degree of protection for the translation mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the L-shaped frame includes a first rod and a second rod fixedly connected to the first rod. The mounting shell is fixedly connected to the two first rods by bolts, and the U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the two second rods.

[0009] This makes it easy to install and remove the housing, thus facilitating the maintenance of the translation mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the two ends of the horizontal guide rod are respectively fixedly connected to two first rods, the first motor is installed at one of the first rods, and the first bearing is installed at the other first rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the lead screw has a first thread and a second thread, and the two translation seats can be divided into a first translation seat and a second translation seat. The first translation seat is passed through by the lead screw and engages with the first thread, and the second translation seat is passed through by the lead screw and engages with the second thread.

[0012] Furthermore, both the first and second translation seats have guide holes that mate with the horizontal guide rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting shell includes a first vertical plate, a second vertical plate, and a connecting horizontal plate connecting the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate. The two ends of the first vertical plate are respectively fixedly connected to the two first rods by the bolts, and both ends of the first vertical plate are fixed with a shielding plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the shielding plate can cover the connection gap between the first vertical plate and the first rod.

[0015] This allows the shielding plate to cover the L-shaped frame, making the installation of the housing more secure.

[0016] Furthermore, the two driven gears are located between the second rods of the two L-shaped frames. Both driven gears are equipped with a rotating shaft. The end of the second rod is equipped with a second bearing that mates with the rotating shaft. Both driven gears are equipped with a hinge device that is hinged to the drive rod.

[0017] Furthermore, the rotation axis of the hinge device does not coincide with the center of the driven gear.

[0018] Furthermore, both ends of the drive rod have rounded corners.

[0019] Furthermore, a motor mount is fixed between the U-shaped frame and one of the second rods, and the second motor is mounted on the motor mount.

[0020] This facilitates the installation and fixation of the second motor.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The soil covering device of this application, as the passive gear rotates, the drive rod can reciprocate, so that the soil covering wheel is periodically lifted and lowered, so that it is used for soil covering when it is lowered and cannot be used for soil covering when it is lifted, thereby realizing intermittent soil covering.

[0023] 2. The soil covering device of this application, under the action of the translation mechanism, allows the two translation plates to move away from or close to each other, so that the soil covering unit can adapt to the soil covering of double furrows of different widths.

[0036] Working Principle: The soil covering device of this application is mounted on a traction machine or other mechanical power unit via a frame. The traction machine drives the soil covering device to perform the operation. As the driven gear rotates, the drive rod reciprocates, causing the soil covering wheel to be periodically raised and lowered. When it is lowered, it is used for soil covering; when it is raised, it cannot be used for soil covering, thus achieving intermittent soil covering. Furthermore, the length of this intermittent interval can be adjusted by controlling the speed of the drive gear. Under the action of the translation mechanism, the two translation plates can move away from or closer to each other, allowing the soil covering unit to adapt to soil covering of double furrows of different widths.

[0037] In practice, the distance between the two covering wheels is adjusted according to the actual spacing between the double furrows. The first motor drives the lead screw, causing the two translation seats to move closer or further apart on the horizontal guide rod. This moves the insertion rod within the insertion holes of the two translation plates, synchronizing the positions of the two covering units and thus adjusting the distance between the two covering wheels. After the positions of the two covering wheels are adjusted, the first motor is turned off. Then, the second motor is started, driving the driven gear through the drive gear, which in turn drives the drive rod to reciprocate, causing the covering wheels to be periodically lifted and lowered. Then, under the traction of the traction machine, the entire device moves along the furrow direction. When the covering wheel falls, it rolls as the machine moves forward, thus covering the soil; when the covering wheel is lifted, it detaches from the ground and is no longer used for covering soil, thus achieving intermittent covering.

[0038] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the scope defined by the claims.
