Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to This invention pertains to the field of agricultural machinery, specifically to an eco-friendly and efficient self-propelled drum seeder designed for rice seedling operations in paddy fields.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The self-propelled battery- operated sitting type drum seeder represents a automating the eco-friendly and efficient machine for rice seedling. Powered by a rechargeable 48V, 24Ah battery, this machine negates the need for external power sources, significantly cutting emissions and operational costs. Its 1000-watt Brushless DC (BLDC) motor, coupled with an accelerator throttle (5A, 6V) for adjustable speed control and an ignition key located on the throttle for starting and stopping, ensures seamless operation. A chain-and-sprocket mechanism transfers the motor's RPM to the traveling wheels of the machine. Four drums are mounted at the rear of the trolley, with each drum capable of covering two rows of seedlings. As the trolley moves through the field, the drum seeder attachment spans a total of eight rows of rice seedlings. The ends of the drum seeder are connected to two lugged wheels positioned 15 cm above the ground. During operation in paddy fields, the drum seeder rotates to distribute dry seeds efficiently. The machine features a sitting-type design, providing enhanced operator comfort, reducing fatigue, and enabling prolonged usage.
Traditional rice seedling methods are labor-intensive and time-consuming, often requiring significant physical effort and high operational costs. Existing drum seeders rely on external power sources, leading to increased emissions and dependency on non-renewable energy. This invention addresses these challenges by introducing a self-propelled, battery-operated drum seeder that is not only efficient but also environmentally sustainable.
