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

“…The relationship between the main factors (suction air pressure, clearing air pressure and vibration frequency of seed supply box) and the seeding indexes (reseeding rate, empty hole rate and pass rate) was studied, and the effects of the factors and their interactions on the indexes were analyzed and the parameters were optimized by multi-objective optimization method. The results show that: the factors affecting the seeding qualification rate in the order of suction air pressure, clearing air pressure and vibration frequency, the optimal parameter combination of suction air pressure 16.0 kPa, clearing air pressure 3.4 kPa, vibration frequency of 50 Hz, in the optimal parameter combination of the sowing test, to get the replanting rate, the rate of empty holes, the qualification rate of the time were 1.4%, 1.7% and 96.9%, respectively.It shows that the performance of this seeder is better adapted, accurate and efficient, and can meet the requirements of irregular-shaped vegetable seeding operation. …”
