Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed sowing technology, specifically to a cosmos seed sower. Background Technology

[0002] Cosmos is an annual or perennial herbaceous plant, 1-2 meters tall. Its roots are spindle-shaped, with numerous fibrous roots, or adventitious roots near the base of the stem. The stem is glabrous or slightly pubescent. The leaves are bipinnately deeply lobed, with linear or filiform-linear lobes. The flower heads are solitary, 3-6 cm in diameter; the peduncles are 6-18 cm long. The outer involucral bracts are lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, nearly leathery, pale green with dark purple stripes, long and narrowly pointed at the apex, 10-15 mm long and equal in length to the inner bracts; the inner bracts are elliptic-ovate, membranous. It is susceptible to aphid infestation during its growth and requires intensive control. It is mainly propagated by seeds. Generally, sowing in early spring results in flowering from May to June. Flowering is reduced in August and September due to the hot, rainy weather. Flowering resumes after the autumn cools down until the first frost. If sown in July or August, flowering will occur in October, and the plants will be shorter and more uniform.

[0003] Currently, cosmos seed sowing is mainly done manually, which requires a large amount of manpower for large-scale field or row sowing, making it time-consuming and labor-intensive. Existing planting equipment, such as Chinese utility patent application number 202322930891.8, discloses a quantitative sowing device for chrysanthemum planting. This device, through its sowing mechanism, can dynamically adjust the planting density of chrysanthemum seeds by setting different feeding rates according to the actual sowing situation, avoiding the problem of excessive seed density and improving the quantitative sowing effect; however, it can only achieve single-row sowing, and its work efficiency is still relatively low. Furthermore, the method of using a leveling mechanism to level the soil after sowing is also unreasonable. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cosmos seed planter. This seed planter can realize multi-row parallel sowing in open fields or row sowing, with high working efficiency and effective saving of labor costs. It is suitable for sowing seed plants such as cosmos.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A cosmos seed planter includes a vehicle body, wheels connected to the vehicle body, and a handle. The vehicle body is divided from top to bottom into a seed storage bin, a soil covering bin, a feeding and transferring area, and a sowing area. The feeding and transferring area includes a rotating disc located above the sowing area and a drive device that drives the rotating disc to rotate. The discharge ports of the seed storage bin and the soil covering bin are both located above the rotating disc. The sowing area has at least two sowing ports for achieving at least two rows of sowing.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating disk has several through holes at equal intervals around its periphery for dispersing and sowing seeds.

[0007] Preferably, the sowing area includes a cone-shaped dispersing cone and an inclined plate located in the middle, with the sowing port located at the bottom of the dispersing cone and an inclined plate between two adjacent sowing ports. The inclined plate is inclined from the dispersing cone toward the sowing port to ensure that the seeds or soil flow through the dispersing cone and the inclined plate to the sowing port.

[0008] Preferably, the driving device includes a transmission rod at the bottom of the rotating disk, which passes through the dispersion cone.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission rod is inserted through one end of the dispersion cone and connected to the drive motor to electrically drive the transmission rod and the rotating disk to rotate.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission rod is inserted through a gearbox at one end of the dispersion cone, and a connecting rod is connected between the two sets of walking wheels on the rear side. The transmission rod and the connecting rod are connected through the gearbox to drive the vehicle body to rotate the transmission rod and the rotating disk.

[0011] Preferably, the gearbox includes a driving bevel gear located on the connecting rod and a driven bevel gear connected to the transmission rod. The driving bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gear. When the vehicle body is pushed to move, the traveling wheels drive the connecting rod and the driving bevel gear to rotate. The driving bevel gear drives the driven bevel gear to rotate, thereby driving the rotating disk to rotate and dispersing the seeds or soil inside under the action of centrifugal force.

[0012] Preferably, a row divider is also included, which is installed on the front side of the vehicle body. The row divider has row dividers on the side facing the land for row division before sowing.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model of a seed planter enables multi-row parallel sowing in open fields or row planting. By setting up a seed storage bin, a soil covering bin, a material feeding and transfer area, and a sowing area, it integrates seed storage, seed sowing, soil covering, and sowing, effectively improving work efficiency and saving labor costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] Example 1: A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a cosmos seed planter, including a vehicle body 1, wheels 2 connected to the vehicle body 1, and a handle 3. The wheels 2 include side wheels located on both sides of the vehicle body 1. The height and width of the side wheels are selected according to the planting field, so that the bottom of the side wheels is higher than the bottom of the vehicle body 1 than the height of the planting cosmos rows. Depending on the needs, a front wheel can be added to the front of the vehicle body 1. When a front wheel is added, the front wheel and the two side wheels form a triangular stable structure. When no front wheel is added, the shape of the two side wheels assists the handle 3 in stable pushing. The vehicle body 1 is divided into a seed storage bin 4, a soil covering bin 5, a material feeding and transfer area 6, and a sowing area 7 from top to bottom. The material feeding and transfer area 6 includes a rotating disk 61 located above the sowing area 7 and a drive device that drives the rotating disk 61 to rotate. The discharge ports of the seed storage bin 4 and the soil covering bin 5 are both located above the rotating disk 61. The sowing area 7 has at least two sowing ports 71 for achieving at least two rows of sowing.

[0020] The rotating disk 61 has several through holes 611 at equal intervals around its perimeter for dispersing and sowing seeds.

[0021] The sowing area 7 includes a cone-shaped dispersing cone 72 located in the middle and an inclined plate 73. The sowing port 71 is located at the bottom of the dispersing cone 72, and an inclined plate 73 is provided between two adjacent sowing ports 71. The inclined plate 73 is inclined from the dispersing cone 72 toward the sowing port 71 to ensure that the seeds or soil flow to the sowing port 71 through the dispersing cone 72 and the inclined plate.

[0022] This seed planter is designed for multi-row parallel sowing in open fields or row planting. It features a seed storage bin 4, a soil covering bin 5, a material feeding and transfer area 6, and a sowing area 7. The seed storage bin 4 stores seeds, and the soil covering bin 5 stores soil. Both the seed storage bin 4 and the soil covering bin 5 are equipped with electric switches at the bottom, integrating seed storage, seed sowing, soil covering, and sowing. This effectively improves work efficiency and saves labor costs, making it suitable for sowing seed plants such as cosmos.

[0023] Example 2: A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a cosmos seed planter, which differs from the above embodiment only in that: the driving device includes a transmission rod 62 at the bottom of the rotating disk 61, the transmission rod 62 passing through the dispersing cone 72; one end of the transmission rod 62 passing through the dispersing cone 72 is connected to a drive motor 63, the drive motor 63 is connected to a battery, and the transmission rod 62 and the rotating disk 61 are electrically driven to rotate.

[0024] When sowing, the bottom switch of the seed storage bin 4 is opened, and the seeds fall onto the rotating disk 61. The drive motor 63 starts working, and the output shaft of the drive motor 63 is connected to the drive motor 63, driving the transmission rod 62 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating disk 61 to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the seeds are dispersed and fall onto the dispersing cone 72 and the inclined plate 73, and flow towards the sowing port 71 under the action of gravity, thus realizing seed sowing. For cosmos seeds, which have a small particle size, in order to ensure seed dispersion, the bottom switches of the seed storage bin 4 and the soil covering bin 5 can be opened simultaneously, and the seeds and soil fall onto the rotating disk 61 at the same time. When the rotating disk 61 rotates, it can mix and disperse the seeds and soil. After sowing is completed, the bottom switch of the soil covering bin 5 is opened, and only the soil falls onto the rotating disk 61. The rotation of the rotating disk 61 can cover the seeds with soil, reducing manual soil covering, simplifying labor, and making operation convenient.

[0025] Example 3: A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a cosmos seed planter, which differs from the above embodiment only in that: the transmission rod 62 is inserted through the dispersing cone 72 and connected to a gearbox 64 at one end; a connecting rod 21 is connected between the two sets of walking wheels 2 located on the rear side; the transmission rod 62 and the connecting rod 21 are connected through the gearbox 64 to drive the vehicle body 1 to run and drive the transmission rod 62 and the rotating disk 61 to rotate; the gearbox 64 includes a driving bevel gear located on the connecting rod 21 and a driven bevel gear connected to the transmission rod 62, and the driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear mesh.

[0026] When sowing, the bottom switch of the seed storage chamber 4 is opened, and the seeds fall onto the rotating disk 61. As the vehicle body 1 moves, the traveling wheels 2 drive the connecting rod 21 and the driving bevel gear to rotate. The driving bevel gear drives the driven bevel gear to rotate, thus rotating the rotating disk 61. This disperses the seeds or soil within under centrifugal force, eliminating the need for an additional drive motor 63 and battery. Specifically, under centrifugal force, the seeds are dispersed onto the dispersing cone 72 and the inclined plate 73, and then flow towards the sowing port 71 under gravity, achieving seed sowing. For cosmos seeds, which have a smaller particle size, to ensure seed dispersion, the bottom switches of both the seed storage chamber 4 and the soil covering chamber 5 can be opened simultaneously, allowing the seeds and soil to fall onto the rotating disk 61 at the same time. As the rotating disk 61 rotates, the seeds and soil mix and disperse. After sowing, the bottom switch of the soil covering chamber 5 is opened, allowing only soil to fall onto the rotating disk 61. The rotation of the rotating disk 61 covers the seeds with soil, reducing manual soil covering, simplifying labor, and making operation convenient.

[0027] Example 4: A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a cosmos seed planter, which differs from the above embodiments only in that it also includes a row divider 8 installed on the front side of the vehicle body 1. The row divider 8 has a row divider bar 81 on the side facing the land for row division before sowing.

[0028] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the technical features of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model are covered by the patent scope of the present utility model.
