SEED DEVICE FOR STEEPED AND GERMINATED SEEDS OF VEGETABLE, CLEAN-TILLED, AND CUCURBITS CROPS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A01C7/16 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: seed device includes a seed box with the seed conveyor. The seed conveyor is made in the form of a hollow cylinder the internal surface of which has cells. The form and the size of these cells correspond to the form and the size of the culture seeds. The cells are located on the cylinder in lateral rows. The number of cells in a lateral row equals the number of the seeds that are put into a bunch. The active guide units in the form of semiellipse are made between the cells. The height of these guide units is twice smaller that the thickness of the culture seed. The cylinder is installed in the seed box at an angle to the horizontal plane ensuring that the seed drill tube is kept in the vertical position. Guide tracks for the seed ejector blades are stipulated on the external surface of the cylinder. The depth of each track provides connection between the cell and the track space. The internal surface of the cylinder has a fixing segment the surface of which touches the active guide units. The inside of the seed drill tube has some ribs on it.

EFFECT: improvement of the operational reliability of seeding and the productivity of the crops.
