Sorting device and automatic seed slice sampling equipment

Abstract

A sorting apparatus (7) comprising: a material storage hopper (23), the material storage hopper being used for storing a certain amount of seeds (5), the base of the hopper consisting of one fixed plate (24), the fixed plate being obliquely arranged and provided on the upper peripheral area thereof with one opening (25), and the position of the opening being higher than the height of the seeds stored in the material storage hopper; a material dropping guide pipe (26), one extremity of the material dropping guide pipe being in communication with the opening (25) of the fixed plate (24), and the other extremity running directly or indirectly over a lifting / lowering platform (8); a sorting turntable (27), the sorting turntable being arranged at the bottom of the material storage hopper and affixed to the upper side of the fixed plate, several notches (28) being evenly distributed along the circumference of the peripheral area of the turntable, the size of the notches being designed so that each notch can accommodate only one seed, the sorting turntable can rotate in steps relative to the material storage hopper, so that there is always one notch (28) being rotated to the position aligned and in communication with the opening (25) of the fixed plate (24). Also provided is an automatic seed slicing and sampling apparatus comprising the sorting apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sorting device and seed automatic slicing and sampling equipment provided with the sorting device. Background technique [0002] In plant development and improvement, plants are genetically improved by selective breeding or genetic manipulation. Among them, the seeds are tested non-destructively or destructively. For this purpose, the seeds used for inspection are first sorted into individual seeds, and then each seed can be processed. It is hoped that the sorting of seeds can be carried out quickly and efficiently. [0003] Chinese invention patent application CN103118527A discloses a seed sampling system, which has an automatic seed loading component, an automatic seed sampling component, and an automatic seed delivery component. Among them, the orifices of the two separation wheels in the seed box catch and hold individual seeds with vacuum suction, and then the seeds leave the orifices through the transfer chamber of t...
