In order to solve the problems of domestic and foreign vegetable precision metering devices that easily damage seeds and have low seeding efficiency and poor qualification rate, this paper designs a one-machine for two-row pneumatic combination seeder, which is mainly composed of a pneumatic seeding mechanism and a honeycomb seeding mechanism. The mechanism and other components and theoretical analysis of the working process of the combined seed metering device clarifies the minimum negative pressure for adsorbing a seed during the suction stage, along with the negative pressure required for the seed-carrying stage. It also establishes the seeding speed and movement during planting with the trajectory parameter equation and uses ADAMS software to conduct virtual experiments on the influence of the number of holes, diameters, and heights of different types of honeycomb seeding disks on the success rate of seeding. Based on research on previous pneumatic seeding mechanisms, single factor tests, orthogonal tests, and high-speed photography tests of the honeycomb seeding disk of the combined seeder were carried out on the number of holes, the diameter of holes, and the height of seeding. The results of tests conducted on okra seeds showed that when the rotating speed of the pneumatic seeding disc was 18 r/min, the diameter of the pneumatic seeding disc hole was 2.4 mm, the vacuum degree was 3.5 kPa, the number of honeycomb seeding disc holes was 24, the hole diameter was 13 mm, and the seed height was 60 mm, the working performance of the combined seed meter reached the optimal level, which provides a reference for the development of a small seed vegetable precision seeder.
