[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0017] like Figures 1-4As shown, the konjac planter in this embodiment includes a hopper 1, a support 3 mounted on the back wall of the hopper 1, a seat 4 fixed at the middle of the upper end of the support 3 for the user to sit on, an axle 6 inside the support 3, and movable wheels 5 fixed at both ends of the axle 6 to allow the hopper 1 to move. A second sprocket 10 is also fixed on the axle 6. A drive shaft 13 is mounted inside one side wall of the hopper 1, and a first sprocket 8 is mounted at one end of the drive shaft 13. Both the first sprocket 8 and the second sprocket 10 are equipped with chains 7 to drive the drive shaft 13. The drive shaft 13 rotates, and two sets of annular belts 11 are installed on the upper end. The bearing shaft 14 is installed inside the top of the annular belt 11. Multiple sets of bearing scoops 12 are arrayed on the outer wall of the annular belt 11 to dig up konjac seeds. A guide trough 9 is fixed on one side wall of the hopper 1 at the position of the annular belt 11, which can guide the seeds during the sowing process. A plow blade 15 is fixed at one end of one side wall of the guide trough 9 to open grooves. A bracket 2 is fixed on the front side wall of the hopper 1 to facilitate connection between the hopper 1 and external traction equipment.
[0018] like Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the bracket 3 is fixed to one side wall of the hopper 1 by bolts, the seat plate 4 is fixed to the top of the bracket 3 by bolts, the axle 6 is connected to the bracket 3 by bearings, the movable wheel 5 is fixed to the axle 6 by bolts, the drive shaft 13 is rotatably installed inside the hopper 1, the sprocket 8 is fixed to the outer side wall of the drive shaft 13, a cavity for mounting the annular belt 11 is provided on one side wall of the hopper 1, the drive shaft 13 meshes with the annular belt 11, the bearing shaft 14 meshes with the annular belt 11, the bearing shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the cavity, the bearing spoon 12 is fixed to the surface of the annular belt 11 by screws, and the guide groove 9 is fixed to the hopper 1 by screws. On the side wall, during the sowing process, konjac seeds are introduced into hopper 1, and personnel sit on seat plate 4. The hopper 1 moves under the action of traction equipment. At this time, the moving wheel 5 rotates, and the wheel axle 6 drives the transmission shaft 13 to rotate through the transmission action of sprocket 2 10, chain 7 and sprocket 1 8. The transmission shaft 13 then drives the ring belt 11 to rotate, thereby causing the carrying spoon 12 to dig out the konjac seeds in hopper 1. When it rotates to the outside of hopper 1, the seeds will fall into the groove opened by the plow blade 15 by their own weight. Using this mechanism for sowing not only saves time and labor, but also has high sowing efficiency and good sowing effect, and has high performance.
[0019] like Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the plow blade 15 is fixed to one side wall of the guide trough 9 by bolts. The position of the plow blade 15 corresponds to the position of the bearing spoon 12. The bracket 2 is fixed to one side wall of the hopper 1 by bolts. A pin hole is opened inside one end of the bracket 2. The plow blade 15 can be grooved. The bracket 2 can connect the hopper 1 to the traction equipment.
[0020] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows: First, the hopper 1 is connected to the traction device through the bracket 2. The konjac seeds are introduced into the hopper 1. The personnel sit on the seat 4. The hopper 1 moves under the action of the traction device. The plow blade 15 opens the groove. At this time, the moving wheel 5 rotates. The wheel axle 6 drives the transmission shaft 13 to rotate through the transmission action of the second sprocket 10, the chain 7 and the first sprocket 8. The transmission shaft 13 then drives the ring belt 11 to rotate, thereby causing the carrying spoon 12 to dig out the konjac seeds in the hopper 1. When it rotates to the outside of the hopper 1, the seeds will fall into the groove opened by the plow blade 15 by their own weight. Using this mechanism for sowing not only saves time and effort, but also has high sowing efficiency and good sowing effect, and has high performance.
