Abstract

In order to realize seeding mechanization in vegetable tray seedling, a SolidWorks-based vegetable tray seeder, consisting of the workbench, seeding device, dynamic system and control system, is designed. The experimental structure of a test unit based on this design shows that the machine is able to automatically suck and release seeds. The seed suction device works stably with an excellent control system, taking 12 seconds to do seed sowing in one tray in uniformity. With less than 5% of missed holes and less than 2% of repeated holes, the seeder is able to meet the requirements for seeding of various leaf vegetables such as lettuce and rape. Characterized by a simple structure, low cost of manufacturing, easy operation, safety, and reliability, this seeder can effectively increase the efficiency of vegetable tray seeding, lower labor intensity and save quantity of seeds used. It is easy to promote and apply the seeder in vegetable production.
