Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery, specifically to a konjac equidistant planter. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, konjac cultivation mainly relies on manual labor, segmented mechanical operations, or the use of potato planters, lacking dedicated integrated mechanical equipment, which presents many problems.

[0003] Purely manual sowing is not only labor-intensive but also results in inconsistent planting standards, with varying plant spacing and planting depth. While mechanical sowing combined with manual segmented sowing saves some labor compared to pure manual sowing, as it involves segmented sowing using ditching, mulching, and soil covering equipment, the seeding itself is done manually, leading to more arbitrary plant spacing. Although potato planters can perform ditching, sowing, ridging, soil covering, drip irrigation tape installation, and mulching in one operation, they are not entirely suitable for konjac cultivation techniques and can damage the konjac buds during the sowing process. Furthermore, strip-shaped konjac seeds can only be sown manually.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a konjac equidistant planter to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a konjac equidistant planter, comprising a main body and a mounting plate detachably disposed at the front of the main body and side walls symmetrically disposed on the sides. The mounting plate is provided with bolt holes for rigid connection with the planter frame. A seeding assembly is disposed between the side walls. The seeding assembly includes a side baffle, a tensioning assembly, a drive shaft assembly, a driven shaft assembly, a seeding chain belt surrounding the drive shaft and the driven shaft, a transverse baffle vertically fixed to the seeding chain belt, and a protective plate assembly covering one side of the main body.

[0006] Furthermore, multiple sets of horizontal baffles are spaced apart on the upper surface of the seeding chain, and adjacent horizontal baffles and side baffles together constitute a seeding unit for accommodating a single konjac seed.

[0007] Furthermore, the side baffle is connected to the side wall by bolts, and the side baffle is a detachable structure, allowing the side baffle to be moved to adjust the spacing of the sowing units by increasing or decreasing the number of side baffles.

[0008] Furthermore, the tensioning assembly is connected to the driven shaft assembly, and the tension of the lower chain belt is controlled by adjusting the bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the driven shaft assembly and the driving shaft assembly are fixed to the side wall to maintain the operation of the lower chain belt; the side wall is also provided with connectors for installing other components.

[0010] Furthermore, the tensioning assembly includes an adjusting bolt, a slider, and a tensioning wheel. The slider is slidably connected to the side wall, and the tensioning wheel is mounted on the slider via a shaft pin. One end of the adjusting bolt is threadedly connected to the slider, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side wall. By rotating the adjusting bolt, the slider can be moved along the side wall to adjust the pressure of the tensioning wheel on the lower chain belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the horizontal baffle is an arc-shaped plate, and the spacing between adjacent horizontal baffles is adjustable to support the konjac seed when the lower seeding chain changes from horizontal to vertical, ensuring a constant spacing.

[0012] Furthermore, the protective plate assembly includes a metal cover and a fixing bracket. The metal cover is mounted on one side of the body via the fixing bracket, and an observation window is provided on the metal cover.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower chain belt is made of rubber and has anti-slip texture on its surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive shaft assembly (6) includes a drive shaft, a drive gear and a bearing. One end of the drive shaft extends out of the side wall (2) and is connected to an external power device. The drive gear is fixed on the drive shaft and meshes with the teeth on the inner side of the lower chain belt (7).

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the konjac equidistant planter provided by this utility model has the following advantages: 1. Adjacent horizontal baffles and side baffles together form a sowing unit for accommodating a single konjac seed. The side baffles are detachable, and the row spacing can be flexibly adjusted by adding or removing side baffles. The horizontal baffles can fix the plant spacing of the konjac seeds, which solves the problems of inconsistent plant and row spacing and depth in purely manual sowing and arbitrary plant and row spacing in segmented sowing, ensuring the standardization of konjac planting and facilitating the uniformity of konjac growth and subsequent field management.

[0016] 2. The seeding chain belt surrounds the drive shaft and the driven shaft. The tensioning assembly is connected to the driven shaft assembly. The smooth operation of the seeding chain belt can be controlled by adjusting the bolts. This avoids the problem of bud damage caused by the mismatch between the equipment and the agronomic practices of konjac planting when using a potato planter, reduces seed loss, and improves seed utilization.

[0017] 3. By removing the middle side baffle, strip-shaped konjac seeds can be sown, solving the problem that strip-shaped konjac seeds can only be sown manually, thus expanding the applicable range of the seeder.

[0018] 4. The connecting parts on the side can be used with corresponding machinery to achieve mechanized sowing, which replaces a large amount of manual operation in pure manual and segmented sowing, reduces labor intensity, significantly improves sowing efficiency, and is conducive to the large-scale planting of konjac.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a konjac equidistant planter: it includes a main body and a mounting plate 1 detachably disposed at the front of the main body and side walls 2 symmetrically disposed on the sides. The mounting plate 1 has bolt holes for rigid connection with the planter frame. A seeding assembly is disposed between the side walls 2. The seeding assembly includes a side baffle 3, a tensioning assembly 4, a drive shaft assembly 6, a driven shaft assembly 5, a seeding chain 7 surrounding the drive shaft and the driven shaft, a horizontal baffle 8 vertically fixed to the seeding chain 7, and a protective plate assembly 9 covering one side of the main body. Multiple sets of horizontal baffles 8 are spaced apart on the upper surface of the seeding chain 7, and adjacent horizontal baffles 8 and side baffles 3 together constitute a planting unit for accommodating a single konjac seed.

[0023] Therefore, the mounting plate 1 is rigidly connected to the external sowing equipment frame by bolts, ensuring no relative displacement during operation. The two symmetrically arranged side walls 2 are made of bent steel plates, with two sets of shaft holes spaced vertically on the inner side. Wear-resistant bushings are embedded in the shaft holes for installing the drive shaft assembly 6 and the driven shaft assembly 5. The sowing assembly includes side baffles 3, drive shaft assembly 6, driven shaft assembly 5, horizontal baffles 8, and sowing chain 7. The side baffles 3 are spaced along the width of the sowing chain 7 and are detachably connected to the side walls 2 by bolts. One end of the drive shaft assembly 6 is connected to an external hydraulic motor via a coupling. The driven shaft assembly 5 consists of a driven shaft and bearings, and the shaft surface is provided with an annular boss for supporting the sowing chain 7.

[0024] When the seeder is working, the external power drives the drive shaft assembly 6 to rotate, and the seeding chain 7 rotates at a constant speed. The operator puts the blocky konjac seeds into the seeding unit one by one. The konjac seeds slide down the surface of the chain to the seed bed, realizing equidistant seeding.

[0025] See Figure 2 It is known that the side baffle 3 is connected to the side wall 2 by bolts, and the side baffle 3 is a detachable structure. The side baffle 3 can be moved to adjust the spacing of the sowing units by increasing or decreasing the number of side baffles 3. The horizontal baffle 8 is an arc-shaped plate, and the spacing between adjacent horizontal baffles 8 is adjustable. It is used to support the konjac seeds when the lower seeding chain 7 changes from horizontal to vertical, ensuring that the spacing is constant.

[0026] In one embodiment, threaded holes are formed along the length of the inner side of the sidewall 2, and the side baffle 3 is made of plastic sheet with elongated adjustment holes along its edge. Bolts are used to connect to the threaded holes in the sidewall 2 through the adjustment holes. The side baffle 3 can be moved along the length of the sidewall 2 by loosening the bolts, and fixed by tightening the bolts. In this embodiment, four side baffles 3 are set, with a spacing of 35cm between adjacent side baffles 3, forming three sowing units to meet the planting requirement of a row spacing of 35cm.

[0027] In another preferred embodiment, the side baffles 3 on both sides of the main body are retained, while the two middle side baffles 3 are removed, thus widening the spacing between the remaining side baffles 3 to form a wide-width sowing unit. The spacing can be further fine-tuned by moving the side baffles 3 to meet the lateral placement requirements of different strip-shaped konjac seeds. Increasing the spacing of the horizontal baffles 8 ensures that both ends of the strip-shaped konjac seeds can be stably supported by the horizontal baffles 8 when laid flat. An auxiliary support plate is added at the corner of the vertical section of the chain conveyor to prevent changes in spacing due to the shift in the center of gravity of the long strip-shaped seeds.

[0028] It is easy to understand that the detachable and movable design of the side baffle 3 and the arc-shaped structure and adjustable spacing of the horizontal baffle 8 solve the problem of low efficiency in manual sowing of strip-shaped konjac seeds. With the standardized setting of 80cm row spacing and 40cm plant spacing, combined with the supporting effect of the horizontal baffle 8, the strip-shaped seeds are stable after sowing and the buds face in the same direction. This achieves precise control of row spacing and plant spacing in the sowing unit, solves the problem of non-standard row and plant spacing in traditional sowing methods, and ensures the stability of the konjac seeds during transportation, reducing the risk of bud damage.

[0029] See Figure 3It is understood that the tensioning assembly 4 is connected to the driven shaft assembly 5, and the tension of the lower chain belt 7 is controlled by adjusting the bolt. The driven shaft assembly 5 and the drive shaft assembly 6 are fixed to the side wall 2 to keep the lower chain belt 7 running; the side wall 2 is also provided with connecting parts for installing other components. The tensioning assembly 4 includes an adjusting bolt, a slider, and a tensioning wheel. The slider is slidably connected to the side wall 2, and the tensioning wheel is mounted on the slider through a shaft pin. One end of the adjusting bolt is threaded to the slider, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side wall 2. By rotating the adjusting bolt, the slider can be moved along the side wall 2 to adjust the pressure of the tensioning wheel on the lower chain belt 7.

[0030] Therefore, one end of the adjusting bolt is rotatably connected to the side wall 2, and the other end mates with the internal threaded hole on the slider. T-shaped guide rails are provided on both sides of the slider, slidingly engaging with the T-shaped grooves on the inner side of the side wall 2 to ensure smooth, uninterrupted sliding. The two ends of the drive shaft assembly 6 are fixed within the bearing seats of the side wall 2, which are rigidly connected to the side wall 2 by bolts. The two ends of the driven shaft assembly 5 are mounted in bearing seats above the slider via bearings, with the bearing seats and slider being integrally formed. The side wall 2 is made of bent steel plate with evenly distributed threaded holes on its surface for mounting the connecting seats of the side baffle 3; a through hole is provided on one side of the top, which is connected to the bracket of the guard plate assembly 9 by bolts.

[0031] It's easy to understand that when adjusting the tension of the chain belt 7, rotating the adjusting bolt pushes the slider along the groove of the side wall 2 away from the drive shaft, increasing the pressure of the tensioner on the chain belt and tightening it. Conversely, rotating the adjusting bolt in the opposite direction causes the slider to move closer to the drive shaft under the reaction force of the chain belt, reducing the pressure and loosening the chain belt. The tension can be precisely controlled by rotating the adjusting bolt a certain number of times.

[0032] Specifically, the protective plate assembly 9 includes a metal cover and a fixing bracket. The metal cover is mounted on one side of the main body via the fixing bracket, and an observation window is provided on the metal cover. The lower chain belt 7 is made of rubber and has anti-slip textures on its surface.

[0033] Therefore, the metal protective cover is made of stainless steel sheet bent into a semi-enclosed structure, with a width adapted to the planting chain 7. The edges of the cover are rounded to prevent scratches to workers during operation. The fixing brackets are L-shaped angle steel, with a total of 4 sets, connected to the side wall 2 of the main body by expansion bolts. The brackets are welded to the metal protective cover. The observation window is located in the center of the front of the cover, with a rectangular structure and inlaid with a transparent acrylic plate. The acrylic plate is sealed to the frame of the cover by a rubber sealing ring, which not only allows operators to observe the conveying and planting status of the konjac seeds in real time, but also prevents soil and debris from splashing into the interior of the cover.

[0034] The seed conveyor belt 7 is made of natural rubber, which is flexible and wear-resistant, and can adapt to bumpy operations in complex field terrain, reducing damage to konjac seedlings. The surface of the conveyor belt is evenly distributed with diamond-shaped anti-slip patterns, which can effectively increase the friction between the konjac seed and the surface of the conveyor belt, preventing the blocky konjac seed from sliding and shifting when the conveyor belt is transported horizontally or turns to the vertical section.

[0035] The usage process of the konjac equidistant planter provided by this utility model includes the following steps: Step 1: Adjust the side baffle 3 to set the row spacing, and adjust the tension of the seed chain belt 7 through the tensioning assembly 4; Step 2: Place the konjac seeds into the planting unit separated by the horizontal baffle 8; Step 3: Drive the seed chain belt 7 to rotate to the vertical position through the drive shaft assembly 6, and the konjac seeds fall into the seed bed by gravity.
