摘要： In view of issues affecting manual on-demand sowing of spinach, such as high working intensity, low seeding efficiency, and high cost, a mechanized precision seeding device for spinach seeds is proposed, based on a spoon-wheel including a combined cell with two intersecting surfaces. The key structure was designed, and motion analysis was conducted employing SolidWorks software (2022). Additionally, the seeding process was simulated using EDEM simulation software (2022). The number of spoons, the radius of the spoons, and the speed of the seed wheel were chosen as the influencing factors, while the qualified index, reseeding index, and missing index were utilized as the evaluation indexes. A response surface method test based on the Box-Behnken design was carried out, and the test results were analyzed to obtain the optimal parameter combination for the seed-metering device. The field test results showed that when the rotation speed was 18 rpm, the radius of each seed spoon was 2.5 mm, and the number of seed spoons was 50, the average qualified index was 90.89%, the reseeding index was 8.22%, and the missed seeding index was 0.89%. The test results satisfy the technical production requirements for spinach seed sowing.
