Planting uniformity is a key evaluation index for planters. This paper investigated the effect of rotational speed, angle rake bar chain, and number billets on planting seed-metering device in laboratory. The experimental results showed that optimal can be achieved under chain 117°, 500, speed 70 rpm. Under this condition, quality Zq was 97.22% multiple Zm 0%, while miss Ze 2.78%. Based above p...
