Planting TRIZ Cases
- Seed Firming Arm With Adjustable Force And Stowing Mechanism
An elastic member and stowing mechanism tune seed firming force for soil conditions while protecting the arm in challenging terrain.
- Agricultural Press Wheel Recess Design to Reduce Mud Sticking
Axial recesses and composite materials help keep mud off agricultural press wheels.
- Planter Wheel Seed Receivers for Adjustable Spacing and Furrow Depth
Angular seed receivers vary spacing, while adjustable furrowing sets planting depth.
- Sowing Machine Rocker Linkage for Opening Disc Depth Control
A rocker links the opening disc and closing wheel to control depth and simplify seeder adjustment in variable soil.
- Planter Reciprocating Seed Shaft for Low-Force, Close-Row Planting
This case uses shaft reciprocation and speed feedback to coordinate seed placement, reduce trench force, and support closer row spacing.
- Selective Material Placement Using Event-Based Seed Detection
Seed-location processing triggers valves for targeted field application, reducing unnecessary material use between seeds.
- Seed-Depositing Row Unit With Multi-Bar Depth and Lift Control
A multi-bar linkage and primary actuator provide consistent furrow depth while lifting multiple seeding row units together.
- Trench Closing Assembly with Adjustable Downforce for Seed Contact
Adjustable wheel downforce helps maintain seed-to-soil contact across changing soil conditions.
- Camera-Based Furrow Evaluation for Seed Placement Feedback
This case uses planter-mounted cameras and image processing to assess furrow consistency and guide planting adjustments.
- Independent Fertilizer Opener Actuation for Consistent Trench Depth
An extendable actuator moves the fertilizer opener independently to maintain trench depth and orientation over uneven soil.
- Camera-Based Furrow Evaluation for Consistent Seed Planting
A planter camera processes furrow images to detect inconsistent depth and support automated planting adjustments.
- Seeded SAP Mats and Beaver Dams for Hot-Arid Wetlands
SAP mats retain channel water while beavers build dams that expand vegetation and cool hot, arid environments.
