Design and experiment of air-suction drum-type seedling seeder for irregular-shaped vegetable seeds by Yanjun Li, Yunqiang Liu, Yichao Ning, Hongxin Wu, Yaqian Zhao

“…Abstract In order to meet the requirements of hole tray seedling transplanting operation for tomato, pepper and other irregular-shaped vegetable seeds, and to solve the problems of poor seeding performance of irregular-shaped vegetable seeder, this study designed an Air-suction Drum-type Precision Seeder. The basic structure and working principle of the seeder were elaborated, the key components were designed, and the distribution of the airflow field in the flow paths of the suction nozzles of three different hole types was simulated and analyzed by Fluent software; the relationship between the main influencing factors of the seeder’s operational performance (suction air pressure, clearing air pressure, and vibration frequency of the seed cassette) and the sowing indexes (replanting rate, cavity rate, and qualification rate) was investigated and the relationship between the factors and the sowing indexes (reseeding rate, cavity rate, and qualification rate) was analyzed by the quadratic orthogonal combination experiment method. …”
