Electronic device for measuring the distance between seeds in test bench for precision seeder

摘要

electronic device for measuring the distance between seeds, to assess the accuracy of the metering of the seeder in laboratory conditions. It consists of a system of proximity sensors arranged in a detection plane, where the time between seed and seed position and the count thereof is determined. The measuring device is positioned below the seed discharge tube. The information collected by the electronic device along with the forward speed of the sower is possible to determine the distances between seeds. The information is stored in a memory, which allows transmitting the information to a computer.
