Definitions
- the present invention relates to agricultural machinery, and more particularly, to a motor-driven single-seed-ejection sowing device and method.
- Precision planters are among the agricultural machinery commonly used for large-scale cultivation in China. Most precision planters in China are mechanical or clamp-type, which have drawbacks such as seeds not being properly provided in the queue and sowing omission during high-speed planting. Many sowing monitoring systems have been developed as a result to enable monitoring of the sowing process, but there is no effective way to remedy the sowing absence automatically. It requires subsequent manual sowing. To solve this problem, designers have attempted to install a secondary seed meter on the planter, which can perform supplemental sowing when the sowing absence is detected. However, these modified secondary seed meters are installed behind the primary meter and are quite large in size. Once the seed is transferred, it is fed into the seed guide tube by its own gravity, which is especially inefficient.
- a pneumatic sowing device which is used as a planter, is disclosed in the Chinese patent No. 201010011516.8.
- the pneumatic sowing device directly ejects the seed into the soil by using pressurized air, and seed coats may be broken and the seed damaged due to the humidity and hardness of the soil. Seeds naturally drop into the ejection device by gravity, which causes a sowing delay during the high-speed planting. This is because of the complex mechanics of the ejection mechanism. It is large and must execute many mechanical operations.
- the pneumatic sowing device without a monitoring device for example, cannot determine the sowing situation, which is likely to cause seed sowing omission. Most cannot perform a supplemental sowing after such omission.
- An intelligent compensation system of seeders for sow omission is disclosed in the Chinese patent No. 201310673557.7.
- the intelligent compensation system sends seeds out by pressurized air.
- the actual delivery effect is not ideal because of air leakage caused by the irregular shape of seeds.
- the pressurized air is supplied by air receivers on tractors and so, installation of external pipelines and conduits is complicated and costly. If the system frequently performs the supplemental sowing, then the delivery effect will degrade due to the lack of air pressure.

- This application is the national phase entry of International Application PCT/CN2020/083089, filed on Apr. 3, 2020, which is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201910204156.4, filed on Mar. 18, 2019 the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to agricultural machinery, and more particularly, to a motor-driven single-seed-ejection sowing device and method.
- Precision planters are among the agricultural machinery commonly used for large-scale cultivation in China. Most precision planters in China are mechanical or clamp-type, which have drawbacks such as seeds not being properly provided in the queue and sowing omission during high-speed planting. Many sowing monitoring systems have been developed as a result to enable monitoring of the sowing process, but there is no effective way to remedy the sowing absence automatically. It requires subsequent manual sowing. To solve this problem, designers have attempted to install a secondary seed meter on the planter, which can perform supplemental sowing when the sowing absence is detected. However, these modified secondary seed meters are installed behind the primary meter and are quite large in size. Once the seed is transferred, it is fed into the seed guide tube by its own gravity, which is especially inefficient. Moreover, existing mechanical parts have design flaws making it difficult to timely deliver the seed with precision to meet the need for the supplemental sowing during high-speed planting. Therefore, it is highly desirable to provide a new motor-driven single-seed-ejection sowing device based on the planter fault monitoring system to improve planting efficiency when the machine misses sowing.
- A pneumatic sowing device, which is used as a planter, is disclosed in the Chinese patent No. 201010011516.8. The pneumatic sowing device directly ejects the seed into the soil by using pressurized air, and seed coats may be broken and the seed damaged due to the humidity and hardness of the soil. Seeds naturally drop into the ejection device by gravity, which causes a sowing delay during the high-speed planting. This is because of the complex mechanics of the ejection mechanism. It is large and must execute many mechanical operations. The pneumatic sowing device without a monitoring device, for example, cannot determine the sowing situation, which is likely to cause seed sowing omission. Most cannot perform a supplemental sowing after such omission.
- An intelligent compensation system of seeders for sow omission is disclosed in the Chinese patent No. 201310673557.7. The intelligent compensation system sends seeds out by pressurized air.
