Abstract
The variation rate of seed-spaces in soil is higher and the qualification rate is lower due to the high seed releasing position of double discs furrow opener of no-tillage planter. To solve this problem, a new belt-type device for air-suction metering was designed and its main structural parameters was determined based on the cavitation time analysis of seed meter. This device integrated both transmission mechanism and seed releasing mechanism into one system, matching with the rotating speed of seed disc and the walking velocity speed of planter. The optimal parameters in relating to seeding performance were obtained by orthogonal test. When the seed releasing height is 100 mm, the rotational speed of seed disc is 30 r/min and the pressure of negative room is 3.5 kpa, the qualification rate of seed-space, the missing rate and multiple rate of seed per hill can be 98.5%, 0.48% and 1.02%, respectively.
