Cover Story: In order to solve the problems caused by the poor seed filling performance and low compensation accuracy of large- and medium-sized type loss compensation devices under medium- and high-speed conditions, an automatic pneumatic-type loss compensation system based on speed synchronization was designed. Through theoretical analysis, the key structures and parameters of the seed platter and seed feeding arm were determined. A universal compensation control system for single and continuous missed seeding was designed. The system meets the agronomic requirement of automatic compensation for the lack of seeding in large- and medium-sized precision planters, and it aids improvement in the operation performance of planters.
