It is provided to completely inform the person having the scope of the invention, and the present invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. And throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same components.

The present invention relates to a sowing machine for planting and covering seeds with a dug provided between furrows, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the main body portion 10, the supply portion 20, the seeding portion 30, the operation portion 40, the cover portion It is a planter with 50 as its main component.

The seeding machine of the present invention implements a process for planting seeds automatically, while implementing compatibility so as to respond to various seeding methods, and allowing anyone to control easily regardless of their proficiency, maximizing overall work convenience and completeness of sowing. This is the main point.

The upper body portion 10 is a skeleton of a vehicle form constituting the supply portion 20 to the cover portion 50, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the frame 11 having a size across at least a dug, and the upper frame 11 ) Consists of a driving unit 15 that moves in a rolling motion to move along a furrow. Here, the driving unit 15 may be configured as a wheel or a caterpillar that rotates under the power of the motor on both sides of the frame 11.

The wheel is relatively easy to change direction by steering the front wheel or rear wheel and has a high moving speed, but it is difficult to move on unpaved ground such as a rice field or a field, and there is a problem in that the structure is complicated because a separate steering mechanism must be configured.

The caterpillar is slower than wheels, but it has a large area that touches the ground, so it can move freely even on severely uneven surfaces such as paddy fields and fields.

Therefore, it is preferable that the driving unit 15 is configured of a caterpillar that simplifies the structure and is easy to control with mobility.

The upper supply unit 20 is mounted at the center of the main body unit 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to supply seeds to the seeding unit 30, horizontally as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the operation unit 40 to be described later It consists of a hopper 21 mounted on the mobile table 41 and a supply unit 25 interposed at the bottom of the hopper 21.

The hopper 21 is an upper and lower narrow tube through which a large amount of seeds are accommodated, as shown in FIG. 6, and a transparent inspection window 21a is provided on the side to visually check the state of the seeds. The hopper 21 may further configure a detector such as a load cell or photodiode to detect the quantity of seeds therein.

The supply unit 25 is to sort and discharge only the number of seeds set at the bottom to the hopper 21 as shown in FIG. 6, the sorting roller 26 rotated by the supply motor 25a and the upper sorting roller 26 It consists of a chute (27) for discharging the seeds falling by rotation at the bottom of the seeding portion (30).

Here, the sorting roller 26 has a sorting groove 26a that accommodates only a set number of seeds on the outer surface. That is, the seeds accommodated in the hopper 21 are received in the sorting groove 26a located at the top, and the rotation of the sorting roller 26 by the supply motor 25a causes the sorting groove 26a to be switched to the lower position. The seeds fall to the chute 27 by their own weight.

At this time, the rotation of the sorting roller 26 is sequentially rotated according to the number of arrangements of the sorting groove 26a. For example, if the sorting groove 26a is arranged in four sections on the outer surface of the sorting roller 26, the supply motor 25a sequentially rotates at 90 °.

Of course, the sorting grooves 26a arranged in four sections are formed to accommodate only a single seed, and when four seeds are sown at the transplantation point, they are rotated by 360 °.

The above seeding part 30 is mounted in the center of the main body part 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to plant seeds supplied from the supply part 20 into the weir, and the operation part described later as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 ( 40) is made of a sowing drill 31 mounted on the vertical mover 42, and a sowing bucket 32 mounted on the sowing drill 31 above.

The seeding drill 31 temporarily stores seeds discharged at the bottom of the supply unit 20 as shown in FIG. 7, and then enters into the dug according to the vertical movement of the vertical mover 42 and transplants the seeds. 8, the drill hole 31a for receiving seeds discharged at the center is formed as shown in FIG. 8, and a drill bit 31b inclined in one direction is formed at the bottom to facilitate entry into the dud.

The seeding bucket 32 closes the lower portion of the drill hole 31a as shown in FIG. 7 to keep the seeds in a received state, and then opens the drill hole 31a according to the vertical movement of the vertical transfer table 42, and at the same time, the seeds Excavate the planting site. The seeding bucket 32 is connected to the drill hole 31a on the seeding drill 31 as shown in FIG. 8 by a hinge (H) to be opened and closed, and the seed is planted by selectively engaging the frame 11 according to the vertical movement on the top. A drilling piece (32a) bent outward is formed to open the drill hole (31a) while excavating the losing position. Here, the seeding bucket 32 is interposed with a spring 34 that is connected to the seeding drill 31 and keeps and returns in a closed state.

At this time, the seeding section 30 is provided with a stopper 35 that selectively engages the engaging piece 32a on the frame 11 to induce rotation of the seeding bucket 32 as shown in FIG. 8. The stopper 35 is a bracket that meshes with the engaging piece 32a, and a long mounting hole 33a and an adjusting bolt 33b are configured to induce adjustment of the vertical position together with mounting of the frame 11 at the center. .

For example, as the stopper 33 is positioned upward, the opening and excavation timing is pulled, and as it is positioned downward, the opening and excavation timing is delayed. Of course, when the vertical movement section of the vertical moving table 42 is the same, it is possible to adjust the rotation angle (excavation amount) as well as opening and closing times.

In addition, it is preferable that the seeding unit 30 further includes a vibration unit 35 that generates vibrations on the seeding drill 31 as shown in FIG. 8. That is, by sowing the drill 31, it is highly likely that the soil is attached or received inside the drill hole 31a. Therefore, it is desirable to minimize the breakdown or damage by generating vibration in the process of planting seeds and immediately removing the seeds and attached soil.

Moreover, the vibrating unit 35 applies the impact of the sowing drill 31 to the inner surface of the groove formed by the sowing drill 31 when the sowing drill 31 is discharged to the outside of the weir, so that the seeds sown are seeded. It can be covered with soil. That is, the seed can be buried in the soil only by the sowing drill 31 by the vibration unit 35.

The operation unit 40 is mounted between the body portion 10 and the seeding portion 30, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the horizontal mover to add driving force to plant seeds at a position set by the seeding portion 30 ( 41) and the vertical shifter (42).

The horizontal platform 41 and the vertical platform 42 are actuators in which blocks move along rails in the horizontal and vertical directions by a motor or a cylinder, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. That is, the horizontal platform 41 is mounted on the frame 11 to move the supply unit 20 and the vertical platform 42 to the left and right, and the vertical platform 42 is mounted on the horizontal platform 41 sowing drill. (31) is moved up and down.

Therefore, by moving the seeding drill 31 to a set position where seeds are to be planted, and performing an operation of moving up and down to enter the dud, a single seeding unit 30 can also cope with various seeding methods such as rowing or spotting. Be compatible.

At this time, the operation unit 40 is provided with a control unit 45 for varying the height of the horizontal moving table 41 and the vertical moving table 42, as shown in FIG. The adjuster 45 is composed of a screw and a knob so as to adjust the position of the seed drill 31 according to the height of the fillet provided between the furrows. Therefore, it is possible to sow even in a non-standardized mockup.

The cover portion 50 is made up of a cover table 51 and a suppression roller 55 which are sequentially mounted on the rear side of the body portion 10 as shown in FIG. 1. Here, the cover 51 and the suppression roller 55 are mounted to be able to adjust the height manually or automatically from the frame 11 as shown in FIG. 2.

The cover table 51 pushes the soil excavated by excavation of the seeding bucket 32 to reopen the place where the seeds were planted, and the suppressor roller 55 firmly compacts the place reclaimed by the cover table 51.

Here, the cover 51 may be formed of a string or a plate that is arranged across the surface of the dud, or a combination thereof, and the suppression roller 55 may further add vibration by hydraulic or motor. .

Hereinafter, the process of sowing the seeds by the planter according to the present invention will be described.

First, as the seeding machine moves along the furrow, it stops at the set weekly point, and then the horizontal shift table 41 moves the seeding drill 31 to the set intertidal point. Along with this, the sorting roller 26 rotates, and as shown in FIG. 9, the seeds accommodated in the hopper 21 are sorted and the seeds are selected and discharged to the chute 27. The discharged seeds move along the chute 27 and are received in the drill hole 31a.

Subsequently, the vertical movable platform 42 descends to enter the seeding drill 31 into the interior of the weir as shown in FIG. 10. When the entry is completed, as shown in Fig. 11, the engaging piece 32a engages the stopper 33, so that the seeding bucket 32 rotates along the hinge H to open and close the drill hole 31a. At the same time, the seeding bucket 32 excavates the soil of the weir to the rear to make a place to be transplanted, and the seeds stored in the drill hole 31a fall to the excavated place.

Subsequently, the vertical mover 42 is raised so that the seeding drill 31 and the seeding bucket 32 return to their original positions. Then again, the planter stops at the set weekly point while moving along the furrow, and then repeats the above process. Here, the cover table 51 pushes the soil excavated by the excavation of the seeding bucket 32 to reopen the place where the seeds were planted, and the suppression roller 55 firmly compacts the place reclaimed by the cover table 51.

The seeding machine according to the present invention further comprises a control unit for inducing remote control with a wireless remote controller or a smart phone carried by an operator together with a wired remote controller attached to itself. The control unit is equipped with a communication module such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi that induces the operation of the seed drill to be controlled remotely.

Wired adjuster displays the daytime distance, the daylight distance, and the number of seeds to be displayed on the display, as shown in FIG. 12, and selects (S), mode (M), up (U), and down (time) to set the daytime distance, the morning distance, and the number of seeds to be discharged. D) A button is configured.

As shown in Fig. 13, the wireless remote controller controls the switch button to turn on / off the operation of the planter, an operation button to move forward and backward and left and right, and a button to set a seeding method such as a point wave or a wave, and a distance between the heads in the width direction of the dug. The setting range button is configured.

The smartphone adjustment application is composed of a main screen, seeding information, and detailed seeding information screen as shown in FIG. 14. In addition to the functions of the wired and wireless controllers, the smartphone adjustment application adds detailed information, notifications, and history functions required for sowing, so that anyone regardless of their proficiency can conveniently control from a long distance.

On the other hand, the present invention proposes a method for sowing crops tailored through a crop-customized smart planter in which the Internet of Things is built, as shown in FIG. 15, and may be performed through steps 1 (S10) to 5 (S50).

The crop-specific smart planter used in the present invention is the same as the above-described configuration, so a separate description will be omitted.

In step 1 (S10), the worker installs an application interworking with the planter in an Internet-capable terminal. That is, the application is installed to the address of the USB, CD or QR code provided with the planter on the worker's smartphone or tablet or laptop.

 After entering the operator's information in the application installed in step 2 (S20), sign in, and log in with the approved ID and password. That is, when the installed application is executed, a login window as shown in FIG. 16 is displayed. Here, if there is no log-in information of the worker, it is sufficient to perform the subscription, but it may be provided with a dedicated ID and password together with a planter without a sign-up process.

In step 3 (S30), the crop to be planted is searched, and the searched crop is selected. As shown in Fig. 17, when logging in, it is converted to a menu window such as seed type, planting setting, planting information, planting record, operation, and A / S consultation. Here, for beginners, it is better to select the sowing information.

After checking the sowing information of the crop selected in step 4 (S40), information necessary for sowing is set. When sowing information is selected, crops such as radish, carrot, soybean, green onion, corn, and onion are output as shown in FIG. 18. If a crop to be planted is selected, information necessary for sowing is output.

That is, as shown in FIG. 19, the sowing information provides the size of the weir for each crop, the period of seeding, the germination temperature, the cultivation temperature, the sowing and harvesting time by season, the number of seeds, inter-distance distance, and daytime distance. In addition, it is possible to start sowing by setting a sowing notification or automatically setting pre-stored sowing information. Of course, the stored seeding information can be manually set as shown in FIG. 20.

Step 5 (S50) starts the sowing by transmitting the set planting information to the planter. When sowing is started, it is output in real time so that the amount of seeds and the amount of work can be checked from a long distance as shown in FIG. 20. When sowing is completed, history such as setting information or working time is saved, and an alarm is scheduled based on the information of the sown crop and the crop to be sown.

As described above, the planting machine according to the present invention is implemented as a small robot type that runs on its own power and performs planting work, so there is no need for a separate mobile device, so accessibility to the field is excellent and work is convenient. In addition, a single seeding section is implemented to be moved in the width direction of the weir according to the set interval, and thus has compatibility to cope with various seeding methods such as line spreading and dot spreading. In addition, it is possible to prevent the clogging due to the inflow of soil by opening and closing the passage through which the seed is discharged, as well as to improve the transplant rate of the seed by drilling and drilling the place where the seed is planted. In addition, it is possible to arbitrarily adjust the excavation time of the soil, so it can be applied to various environments regardless of the soil quality or viscosity of the field, and the vibration unit breaks down or damages by removing the stuck or attached soil with the discharge of seeds. Can be minimized. In particular, by implementing a wireless remote controller or an application of a self-smartphone so that a task can be set up with the display of information necessary for sowing, anyone can easily and conveniently control from a long distance regardless of skill level.
