AIR PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL SEED METER

摘要

A seed meter (24) for a seeding machine has a housing (30) and a seed metering member (100) rotationally mounted to the housing. The metering member has a sidewall (104) (108) with a radially inner surfaced (08) and a radially outer surface (110) with the inner surface of the sidewall having an outwardly flared rim portion (112) extending both radially outward and axially to an outer edge. The rim portion has a plurality of apertures (114) extending through the sidewall. The metering member is oriented at an angle to the vertical such that an upper portion of the metering member extends beyond a tower portion of the metering member. This orientation allows a seed delivery system to extend into the interior of the metering member and cooperate with the overhanging inside thereof to remove seed therefrom.
