Design and testing of a special seeder for small hilly areas

Abstract

Hilly areas rugged terrain, the overall terrain is relatively steep, soil erosion is serious resulting in sticky soil, the manual seeding method is not only inefficient and the cost will be greatly increased. In view of the problem of hilly areas in China and the low degree of mechanization of the blogger, based on Creo software designed a set of small hill areas specializing in the integration of ditching, sowing, mulching in one of the maize seeders. This seeder is mainly composed of drive mechanism, furrow opening device, seed transfer device, elevated double-layer disc mulching device, spoon type precision seeding device, and control system module. This seeder can efficiently travel in hilly areas through the driving structure, open the furrow by the furrow opening device structure, then through the seed transfer device, the seeding device will spread the seed, and finally through the elevated double-layer disc mulching device will bury the seed. It realizes the automated seeding process in hilly areas.
