Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a multifunctional, adjustable, integrated pellet seed counting plate, belonging to the technical field of sowing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of seed counting, seed counting plates are crucial tools for quantitative seed counting. Existing seed counting plates typically employ a single-aperture panel structure. Their working principle involves using holes of a fixed diameter on the panel to trap and count seeds of a specific suitable size, thus completing multiple operations. For example, patent application number CN202420379153.0 discloses a seed counting device including a seed counting plate and a hollow handle. The seed counting plate and hollow handle are fixedly connected. One hundred blind holes are evenly distributed on the seed counting plate for counting soybeans. The hollow handle is used to quickly transfer excess soybeans before counting and soybeans on the seed counting plate after counting to a recycling container. This device, with its single-aperture panel structure, suffers from poor versatility and low operational efficiency.

[0003] From the perspective of current technology and development, the traditional approach to adapt to seeds of different particle sizes is to equip each seed with a corresponding counting plate (generally, a separate counting plate is designed for each single particle size) for a certain range of seed sizes. However, this technical solution has significant shortcomings: Firstly, the single aperture size leads to extremely poor versatility. Since each counting plate can only be set with one fixed aperture size, when multiple different particle sizes (such as covering multiple specifications from 2.2mm to 5.7mm) need to be counted, different dedicated counting plates must be frequently changed, which not only increases the cost of equipment purchase but also significantly reduces the efficiency of counting operations due to the cumbersome replacement process. Secondly, the fixed aperture layout makes it impossible to adjust the number of seeds. The aperture distribution of traditional counting plates is fixed, and the number of seeds that can be obtained during counting is determined by the inherent layout of the apertures. It is impossible to flexibly adjust the number of seeds according to actual operational needs (such as the differentiated requirements for the number of seeds in different sowing scenarios), which greatly limits its application scenarios and makes it difficult to meet the diversified and precise seed counting needs in modern agricultural production. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate. Through the design of a double-panel structure, sliding components, and a front-mounted guide plate, it improves versatility and operational efficiency. At the same time, it allows for adjustable seed count, enhancing adaptability and compatibility, and is more convenient, stable, and reliable.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate includes a base, an upper panel, a lower panel, a sliding component, and a front-mounted guide plate;

[0007] The base includes a carrier and a handle. One end of the carrier along its length is a connecting end and the other end is a gripping end. The handle is connected to the gripping end of the carrier. The upper surface of the carrier has a first slot facing each other on both sides, the lower surface of the carrier has a second slot facing each other on both sides, and the connecting end of the carrier has a third slot.

[0008] The two sides of the upper panel are respectively movably inserted into the first slots on both sides of the upper surface of the carrier; the two sides of the lower panel are respectively movably inserted into the second slots on both sides of the lower surface of the carrier; the upper surface of the upper panel has a first counting groove, and the lower surface of the lower panel has a second counting groove, the first counting groove and the second counting groove are of different sizes.

[0009] The sliding component has a frame structure. The sliding component slides and fits on the periphery of the base, the upper panel and the lower panel, and can slide along the length of the base.

[0010] One end of the front guide plate is a plug-in end and the other end is a guide end. The plug-in end of the front guide plate is movably plugged into the third slot. Both the upper and lower surfaces of the guide end of the front guide plate are inclined.

[0011] When in use, replace the upper panel and / or lower panel with the required size of the counting slot as needed; the sliding part can stabilize the upper and lower panels, etc., and also control the number of particles. The position of the sliding part can be adjusted according to the required number of particles to cover part of the counting slot, thereby completing the rapid counting.

[0012] The aforementioned seed counting board, with its double-sided panel structure, adjustable quantity, and convenient replacement method, enhances the versatility of the counting board, making it suitable for a variety of work scenarios.

[0013] The counting board of this application can be used in the following scenarios:

[0014] 1. Seed company packaging workshop: When packaging pelleted seeds (such as vegetable, flower, and rapeseed pelleted seeds) in quantitative quantities, quickly count out standard quantities such as 50 or 100 seeds to ensure that the number of seeds in each package is accurate (in accordance with label markings).

[0015] 2. Seed quality inspection agencies: When testing the germination rate, purity, and moisture content of pelleted seeds, take precise samples of a few seeds (e.g., 100 seeds per replicate for germination tests) to avoid the coating layer affecting counting errors.

[0016] 3. Agricultural research institutes / breeding units: When conducting experiments related to pelleted seeds (such as the effect of coating agents and sowing density experiments), accurately count the required number of seeds according to the experimental design to ensure the accuracy of experimental data.

[0017] 4. Greenhouse / Seedling Base: When using plug tray seedling raising and precise sowing, the required number of pelleted seeds per hole can be quickly counted to meet the quantitative needs of artificial seedling raising.

[0018] 5. Small seed retail stores: When retailing pelleted seeds, quickly repackage and count according to customer needs (e.g., 100 seeds / packet, 200 seeds / packet) to improve packaging efficiency and accuracy.

[0019] 6. Scientific research experimental sites and quantitative hole sowing in small-scale farming, etc.

[0020] To improve the stability and ease of assembly of the device, the aforementioned multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate also includes a first edge baffle. The carrier has a square structure. The first edge baffle is continuously distributed along the left edge, the gripping end edge, and the right edge of the upper surface of the carrier (i.e., the first edge baffle is continuous along its length without any breaks). On the upper surface of the carrier, the first edge baffle on the left edge and the first edge baffle on the right edge are provided with opposing first slots, and the two sides of the upper panel are respectively movably inserted into the first slots on both sides. The top of the first edge baffle protrudes above the upper panel, forming a baffle structure. This guides excess seeds to slide off from the guide end of the front guide plate, reducing or avoiding seed spillage during the counting process.

[0021] In this application, directional terms such as up and down, left and right, top and bottom are all relative positional relationships and are used only for the convenience of description.

[0022] The direction from top to bottom is the same as the direction from top to bottom.

[0023] For ease of control, the aforementioned multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate also includes a first transition plate. The length of the first transition plate is equal to the length of the sliding component. When it is not necessary to block the counting slot, the sliding component can be placed on the first transition plate, which does not affect the counting and ensures the stability of the device. One end of the first transition plate is a fixed end and the other end is a limiting end along its length. The two sides of the first transition plate are respectively inserted into the first slots on both sides, and the fixed end of the first transition plate abuts against the first edge stop strip of the holding end on the carrier. The upper surface of the first transition plate is flush with the upper surface of the upper panel. A first groove structure with a low middle and high edge is formed between the first edge stop strip, the first transition plate, and the upper panel. The inner side of the sliding component is provided with a first protrusion that matches the first groove structure. The first protrusion contacts the upper surface of the first transition plate or the upper panel. That is, the inner shape of the sliding component and the shape formed between the first edge stop strip, the first transition plate, and the upper panel are consistent and matched with each other, and the sliding component can slide along the length direction of the first transition plate and the upper panel. When all the counting slots on the top plate are needed, slide the sliding component onto the first transition plate; when some of the counting slots on the top plate need to be blocked, slide the sliding component to the desired position on the top plate.

[0024] For ease of description, this application defines the direction from the connecting end to the gripping end on the carrier as the length direction. The length of the first transition plate and the length of the sliding component are both consistent with the length direction of the carrier. This is only for ease of description and is not limited to the length being greater than the width. The direction from one side to the other (left to right) on the carrier is perpendicular to the length direction of the carrier.

[0025] To improve the stability and ease of assembly of the device, the aforementioned multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate also includes a second edge baffle. The carrier has a square structure. The second edge baffle is continuously distributed along the left edge, the gripping end edge, and the right edge of the lower surface of the carrier. On the lower surface of the carrier, the second edge baffle on the left edge and the second edge baffle on the right edge are provided with opposing second slots, and the two sides of the lower panel are respectively movably inserted into the second slots on both sides. The bottom of the second edge baffle is lower than the lower panel, forming a stepped state (edge ​​structure). In this way, excess seeds are guided to slide off from the guide end of the front guide plate, reducing or avoiding seed spillage during the counting process.

[0026] When using the top panel to count the grains, the top panel should face upwards; when using the bottom panel to count the grains, the bottom panel should face upwards.

[0027] For ease of control, the aforementioned multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate also includes a second transition plate. The length of the second transition plate is equal to the length of the sliding component. One end of the second transition plate is a fixed end, and the other end is a limiting end. The two sides of the second transition plate are respectively inserted into the second slots on both sides, and the fixed end of the second transition plate abuts against the second edge stop on the gripping end of the carrier. The lower surface of the second transition plate is flush with the lower surface of the lower panel. A second groove structure with a central depression is formed between the second edge stop, the second transition plate, and the lower panel. The inner side of the sliding component is provided with a second protrusion that matches the second groove structure. The second protrusion contacts the upper surface of the second transition plate or the lower panel. That is, the inner shape of the sliding component and the shape formed between the second edge stop and the first transition plate and the upper panel are consistent and mutually matched. The sliding component can slide along the length direction of the second transition plate and the lower panel. When all the counting slots on the lower panel are needed, the sliding component is slid onto the second transition plate; when some of the counting slots on the lower panel need to be covered, the sliding component is slid to the desired position on the lower panel.

[0028] Of course, while the sliding component slides along the length direction of the second transition plate and the lower panel, it also slides along the length direction of the first transition plate and the upper panel.

[0029] To improve structural stability, the support body has sliding grooves on both sides along its length. The end of the groove leading to the connection point on the support body is open, while the end leading to the gripping point on the support body is closed. The sliding components have protrusions on their inner sides that match the sliding grooves. These protrusions fit within the grooves and can slide along their length, ensuring stability and reliability.

[0030] The aforementioned chute has an open end leading to the connecting end on the carrier and a closed end leading to the holding end on the carrier, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the sliding component. When the sliding component slides to the closed end of the chute, it cannot continue to slide towards the holding end on the carrier due to the limitation of the closed end. When the front guide plate has not yet been installed, the sliding component can continue to slide to the open end of the chute until it is detached from the carrier. This makes it easy to disassemble and install.

[0031] For ease of assembly, the top and bottom panels are identical in shape and size. This eliminates the need to pay special attention to which side has the top panel and which has the bottom panel during assembly, and their positions can be interchanged.

[0032] The number of upper and lower panels is two or more. The only difference between different upper and lower panels is the size (or quantity) of the counting slots, allowing for selection of the required upper and lower panels as needed. The specifications of the upper and lower panels in this application can be:

[0033] Top (bottom) panel A 2.2 7.5 1.5-2.0 Top (bottom) panel B 2.7 7 2.0-2.5 Top (bottom) panel C 3.2 6.5 2.5-3.0 Top (bottom) panel D 3.7 6 3.0-3.5 Top (bottom) panel E 4.2 5.5 3.5-4.0 Top (bottom) panel F 4.7 5 4.0-4.5 Top (bottom) panel G 5.2 4.5 4.5-5.0 Top (bottom) panel H 5.7 4 5.0-5.5

[0034] The counting trough has a hemispherical structure that transitions from top to bottom through an arc-shaped structure and gradually narrows. Each counting trough can hold only one seed, and the diameter of the counting trough is the largest diameter at the top.

[0035] The above specifications can basically meet the demand for several seeds of different sizes of pelleted seeds.

[0036] The first and second counting slots mentioned above are both arranged in a matrix.

[0037] To facilitate assembly and disassembly while ensuring stability, the connector of the front guide plate and the third slot are movably engaged by matching convex and concave grooves. For example, the outer wall of the connector of the front guide plate has convex ribs, and the third slot has grooves that match the convex ribs. When the front guide plate is pushed forcefully, the convex ribs engage in the grooves, effectively ensuring stability during use. When the front guide plate is pulled outwards forcefully, the convex ribs can also disengage from the grooves, thus facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0038] For ease of use and control, the cross-section of the aforementioned front conveyor plate guide end is a triangular structure. Both the top and bottom sides of the front conveyor plate guide end are provided with baffles to prevent seeds from spilling. The top of the front conveyor plate guide end is flush with the upper surface of the upper panel, and the bottom of the front conveyor plate guide end is flush with the lower surface of the lower panel.

[0039] The components of this application can be manufactured using existing 3D printing technology, and the materials used can be PLA (polylactic acid), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), PC (polycarbonate), PEEK (polyetheretherketone), etc.

[0040] When it is necessary to replace the upper and lower panels, remove the front guide plate, then remove the sliding component, pull out the existing upper and lower panels, insert the upper and lower panels of the required number of slots, then install the sliding component, and then insert the front guide plate.

[0041] Seed count adjustment on the top and bottom panels: Adjust the target seed count using the sliding component. Specify the required seed count (e.g., 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, etc.), and push the sliding component to the corresponding seed count position. The seed counting slots on the top and bottom panels, from the sliding component to the guide plate end, represent the required number of seed counting slots. The sliding component achieves precise adjustment of the seed count by changing the number / distribution of seed counting slots in several effective areas on the top and bottom panels, matching the target seed count.

[0042] Several operating procedures: After completing the "upper and lower panel replacement" and "seed count adjustment", pour the pelleted seeds to be counted onto the upper or lower panel, or scoop the pelleted seeds onto the upper or lower panel through the guide end of the front guide plate. Shake the counting plate to make the pelleted seeds roll / fall into the counting grooves on the upper or lower panel. With the seed retention characteristics of the counting grooves and the effective number of counting grooves after adjustment by the sliding parts, the target number of seeds (such as 10 seeds, 20 seeds, etc.) is counted and separated, and finally a quantitative amount of seeds is obtained. Tilt the counting plate slightly downward so that the excess pelleted seeds fall back into the pelleted seed container along the guide end of the front guide plate.

[0043] In experiments, it is often necessary to sow seeds of different sizes simultaneously. Therefore, both the upper and lower panels of the required counting slot size can be installed at the same time. After sowing one size of seed using the upper panel, flip it over and use the lower panel to sow another size of seed. If it is necessary to sow other sizes of seeds simultaneously, replace the upper and lower panels with appropriate ones.

[0044] Any technologies not mentioned in this utility model are based on existing technologies.

[0045] This utility model features a multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate with a simple and detachable structure. It can be equipped with appropriate upper and lower panels to accommodate different seed sizes / pelleted seeds. In other words, only one main unit is needed, and different panels can be used to meet various needs for different crop seed sizes. It is simple, convenient, highly versatile, and efficient. The number of effective counting slots on the upper and lower panels can be adjusted by sliding the sliding components, thereby adjusting the number of seeds counted. It is simple, flexible, and highly adaptable, meeting the needs of different scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0055] Example 1

[0056] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate includes a base, an upper panel, a lower panel, a sliding component, and a front guide plate.

[0057] The base includes a carrier and a handle. One end of the carrier along its length is a connecting end, and the other end is a gripping end. The handle is connected to the gripping end of the carrier. The upper surface of the carrier has two opposing first slots on both sides, and the lower surface of the carrier has two opposing second slots on both sides. The first and second slots on the gripping end of the carrier are closed-end structures for easy positioning, while the first and second slots on the connecting end are open structures for easy installation of the upper and lower panels. The connecting end of the carrier has a third slot.

[0058] The two sides of the upper panel are respectively movably inserted into the first slots on both sides of the upper surface of the carrier; the two sides of the lower panel are respectively movably inserted into the second slots on both sides of the lower surface of the carrier; the upper surface of the upper panel has a first counting groove, and the lower surface of the lower panel has a second counting groove, the first counting groove and the second counting groove are of different sizes.

The position of the sliding part can be adjusted according to the required number of particles to cover part of the counting slot, thereby completing the rapid counting.

[0062] The aforementioned seed counting board, with its double-sided panel structure, adjustable quantity, and convenient replacement method, enhances the versatility of the counting board, making it suitable for a variety of work scenarios.

[0063] The above-mentioned seed counting board can be used in the following scenarios: 1. Seed company packaging workshops: When quantitatively packaging pelleted seeds (such as vegetable, flower, and rapeseed pelleted seeds), quickly count standard quantities such as 50 or 100 seeds to ensure accurate seed count in each package (conforming to label markings). 2.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] Based on Example 1, the following improvements were made: Figure 3As shown, to improve the stability and ease of assembly of the device, the aforementioned multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate also includes a first edge baffle. The carrier has a square structure. The first edge baffle is continuously distributed along the left edge, the gripping end edge, and the right edge of the upper surface of the carrier. On the upper surface of the carrier, the first edge baffle on the left edge and the first edge baffle on the right edge are provided with opposing first slots, and the two sides of the upper panel are respectively movably inserted into the first slots on both sides. The top of the first edge baffle protrudes above the upper panel, forming a baffle structure. In this way, excess seeds are guided to slide off from the guide end of the front guide plate, reducing or avoiding seed spillage during the counting process. For ease of control, the aforementioned multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate also includes a first transition plate. The length of the first transition plate is equal to the length of the sliding component. One end of the first transition plate is a fixed end, and the other end is a limiting end. The two sides of the first transition plate are respectively inserted into the first slots on both sides, and the fixed end of the first transition plate abuts against the first edge stop strip on the gripping end of the carrier. The upper surface of the first transition plate is flush with the upper surface of the upper panel. A first groove structure with a lower middle and higher edges is formed between the first edge stop strip, the first transition plate, and the upper panel. The inner side of the sliding component is provided with a first protrusion that matches the first groove structure. The first protrusion contacts the upper surface of the first transition plate or the upper panel. That is, the inner shape of the sliding component and the shape formed between the first edge stop strip, the first transition plate, and the upper panel are consistent and matched. The sliding component can slide along the length direction of the first transition plate and the upper panel. When all the counting slots on the upper panel are needed, the sliding component is slid onto the first transition plate; when some of the counting slots on the upper panel need to be covered, the sliding component is slid to the desired position on the upper panel.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] Based on Example 2, the following improvements were made: Figure 3As shown, to improve the stability and ease of assembly of the device, the aforementioned multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate also includes a second edge baffle. The carrier has a square structure. The second edge baffle is continuously distributed along the left edge, the gripping end edge, and the right edge of the lower surface of the carrier. On the lower surface of the carrier, the second edge baffle on the left edge and the second edge baffle on the right edge are provided with opposing second slots, and the two sides of the lower panel are respectively movably inserted into the second slots on both sides. The bottom of the second edge baffle is lower than the lower panel, forming a stepped state. In this way, excess seeds are guided to slide off from the guide end of the front guide plate, reducing or avoiding seed spillage during the counting process. For ease of control, the aforementioned multifunctional adjustable integrated pelleting seed counting plate also includes a second transition plate. The length of the second transition plate is equal to the length of the sliding component. One end of the second transition plate is a fixed end, and the other end is a limiting end. The two sides of the second transition plate are respectively inserted into the second slots on both sides, and the fixed end of the second transition plate abuts against the second edge stop on the gripping end of the carrier. The lower surface of the second transition plate is flush with the lower surface of the lower panel. A second groove structure with a central depression is formed between the second edge stop, the second transition plate, and the lower panel. The inner side of the sliding component is provided with a second protrusion that matches the second groove structure. The second protrusion contacts the upper surface of the second transition plate or the lower panel. That is, the inner shape of the sliding component and the shape formed between the second edge stop and the first transition plate and the upper panel are consistent and mutually matched. The sliding component can slide along the length direction of the second transition plate and the lower panel. When all the counting slots on the lower panel are needed, the sliding component is slid onto the second transition plate; when some of the counting slots on the lower panel need to be covered, the sliding component is slid to the desired position on the lower panel. Of course, while the sliding component slides along the length direction of the second transition plate and the lower panel, it also slides along the length direction of the first transition plate and the upper panel.

[0068] Example 4

[0069] Based on Example 3, the following improvements were further made: Figure 3 As shown, to improve structural stability, the support body has grooves on both sides arranged along its length. One end of the groove leading to the connecting end on the support body is open, and the other end leading to the gripping end on the support body is closed. The sliding component has protrusions on its inner sides that match the grooves. The open-end structure of the groove leading to the connecting end on the support body and the closed-end structure of the groove facilitate the installation and positioning of the sliding component. When the sliding component slides to the closed end of the groove, it cannot continue sliding towards the gripping end on the support body due to the closed-end limitation. If the front guide plate has not yet been installed, the sliding component can continue sliding to the open end of the groove until it detaches from the support body. This facilitates both disassembly and installation.

[0070] Example 5

[0071] Based on Example 4, the following improvements were made: For ease of assembly, the upper and lower panels are identical in shape and size. This eliminates the need to pay special attention to which side has the upper panel installed and which side has the lower panel installed during assembly; the positions of the upper and lower panels are interchangeable. There are two or more upper and lower panels; the only difference between different upper and lower panels is the size and number of counting slots, allowing for selection of the required upper and lower panels as needed. In this example, the specifications for the upper and lower panels are as follows:

[0072] Top (bottom) panel A 2.2 7.5 1.5-2.0 Top (bottom) panel B 2.7 7 2.0-2.5 Top (bottom) panel C 3.2 6.5 2.5-3.0 Top (bottom) panel D 3.7 6 3.0-3.5 Top (bottom) panel E 4.2 5.5 3.5-4.0 Top (bottom) panel F 4.7 5 4.0-4.5 Top (bottom) panel G 5.2 4.5 4.5-5.0 Top (bottom) panel H 5.7 4 5.0-5.5

[0073] The above specifications can basically meet the demand for several seeds of different sizes of pelleted seeds.

[0075] Based on Example 5, the following improvements were made: the counting slots are hemispherical in shape, transitioning from top to bottom through an arc-shaped structure and gradually narrowing. Each counting slot can only hold one seed, and the diameter of the counting slot is the largest diameter at the top. Both the first and second counting slots are arranged in a matrix. To facilitate assembly and disassembly while ensuring stability, the insertion end of the front guide plate and the third slot are movably engaged by matching convex and concave grooves. For example, the outer wall of the insertion end of the front guide plate has convex ribs, and the third slot has grooves that match the convex ribs. When the front guide plate is pushed forcefully, the convex ribs engage in the grooves, effectively ensuring stability during use. When the front guide plate is pulled outwards forcefully, the convex ribs can also disengage from the grooves, thus facilitating assembly and disassembly. For ease of use and control, the cross-section of the aforementioned front conveyor plate guide end is a triangular structure. Both the top and bottom sides of the front conveyor plate guide end are provided with baffles to prevent seeds from spilling. The top of the front conveyor plate guide end is flush with the upper surface of the upper panel, and the bottom of the front conveyor plate guide end is flush with the lower surface of the lower panel.

[0076] When it is necessary to replace the upper and lower panels, remove the front guide plate, then remove the sliding component, pull out the existing upper and lower panels, insert the upper and lower panels of the required number of slots, then install the sliding component, and then insert the front guide plate.

[0077] Seed count adjustment on the top and bottom panels: Adjust the target seed count using the sliding component. Specify the required seed count (e.g., 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, etc.), and push the sliding component to the corresponding seed count position. The seed counting slots on the top and bottom panels, from the sliding component to the guide plate end, represent the required number of seed counting slots. The sliding component achieves precise adjustment of the seed count by changing the number / distribution of seed counting slots in several effective areas on the top and bottom panels, matching the target seed count.

[0078] Several operating procedures: After completing the "upper and lower panel replacement" and "seed count adjustment", pour the pelleted seeds to be counted onto the upper or lower panel, or scoop the pelleted seeds onto the upper or lower panel through the guide end of the front guide plate. Shake the counting plate to make the pelleted seeds roll / fall into the counting grooves on the upper or lower panel. With the seed retention characteristics of the counting grooves and the effective number of counting grooves after adjustment by the sliding parts, the target number of seeds (such as 10 seeds, 20 seeds, etc.) is counted and separated, and finally a quantitative amount of seeds is obtained. Tilt the counting plate slightly downward so that the excess pelleted seeds fall back into the pelleted seed container along the guide end of the front guide plate.

[0079] In experiments, it is often necessary to sow seeds of different sizes simultaneously. Therefore, both the upper and lower panels of the required counting slot size can be installed at the same time. After sowing one size of seed using the upper panel, flip it over and use the lower panel to sow another size of seed. If it is necessary to sow other sizes of seeds simultaneously, replace the upper and lower panels with appropriate ones.

[0080] In this example, each of the top and bottom panels has 100 counting slots arranged in a matrix, with 10 slots in each row and 10 slots in each column.

[0081] Applications: For small-diameter seeds / pilled seeds (1.6-1.8 mm), 100 seeds are needed each time for experimental planting; for medium-diameter naked seeds / pilled seeds (4.1-4.3 mm), 50 seeds are needed each time for experimental planting.

[0082] Replace the top and bottom panels with panels having a counting slot diameter of 2.2mm (as the top panel) and 4.7mm (as the bottom panel), respectively. First, use the top panel to count 100 small-diameter / pilled seeds at a time. While counting the small-diameter / pilled seeds, slide the sliding component onto the first transition plate to avoid obstructing the counting slots on the top panel. Then, use the bottom panel to count medium-diameter / pilled seeds. Slide the sliding component onto the bottom panel so that there are 50 counting slots on the bottom panel from the sliding component to the guide end of the front conveyor plate. Then, count 50 seeds at a time until all medium-diameter / pilled seeds have been counted and sown.

[0083] The multi-functional adjustable integrated pellet seed counting plates described above have a simple and detachable structure. They can be equipped with appropriate upper and lower panels according to different seed particle sizes / pelleted seeds. In other words, only one main unit is needed, which can be matched with different panels to meet the needs of various crop seeds of different particle sizes. It is simple, convenient, versatile, and efficient. By sliding the sliding parts, the number of effective counting slots on the upper and lower panels can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the number of seeds counted. It is simple, flexible, and highly adaptable, and can meet the needs of different scenarios.
