Abstract
A negative pressure chamber rotary precision seed metering device was designed to achieve the buckwheat precision sowing goal, solving the problems of traditional negative pressure chamber poor sealing and air suction seed metering device high power consumption. The planting plate of the device was fixedly connected with the shell of the air chamber forming a negative pressure chamber, which rotates around an axis. A planting plate suitable for buckwheat seed metering was designed. Single factor test and response surface test were carried out on the seed metering device. Results showed that the buckwheat precision seed metering achieved best performance when the negative pressure, suction hole diameter and rotation speed was 2.4 kPa, 2.0 mm and 25 r/min respectively. The qualified index, multiples index and miss-seeding index were respectively 88.32%, 7.35%, and 4.33%, which met the technical requirements of buckwheat precision sowing. The results of the study provided references for the design and application of buckwheat precision seed metering device.
