Control Mechanism and Experimental Study on Electric Drive Seed Metering Device of Air Suction Seeder

Abstract

Under the condition of high-speed operation, the traditional mechanical seeder is easy to cause problems such as the drop of the qualified rate of sowing, the increase in the rate of missing sowing and the low precision of adjusting the grain distance, which seriously affects the sowing precision and efficiency. In this paper, a brushless DC motor sliding film variable structure control system is designed for the air-suction corn seeder, so as to realize the precise control of the rotation speed and the seed metering amount of the seed metering disc. The experimental results show that the faster the operation speed of the electrically driven air-suction seed metering device, the greater the standard deviation of sowing distance. The qualified rate of seeding, average spacing, standard deviation distribution and coefficient of variation of the electric seeding device are better than those of the mechanical seeding device.
