Seed volume measurer and measuring method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a seed volume measurer and a measuring method thereof, and relates to the technical field of seed grain character measurement, and the seed volume measurer comprises a carrying bottle used for containing a liquid and a measured seed; a rubber plug, fixedly inserted into the opening in the top of the carrying bottle, and a through hole being longitudinally formed in the rubber plug; a loading pipe, inserted into the through hole and is used for adding liquid and tested seeds; a liquid discharge pipe, fixedly arranged on the loading pipe above the water level and used for discharging liquid; a container, used for being placed at the liquid outlet end of the liquid discharging pipe and containing discharged liquid; and a balance with 0.01 g sensitivity, used for measuring the weight of the discharged liquid. According to the invention, huge workload for measuring the volume of the grains is reduced, and convenience is provided for measuring the volume of the crop seeds.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of a Chinese patent application submitted to the China Patent Office on March 6, 2019, with the application number 201910167038.0, and the title of the invention is "Seed Volume Measuring Device and Its Measurement Method", the entire contents of which are incorporated in this application by reference middle. technical field [0002] The invention relates to the technical field of measuring seed grain properties, in particular to a seed volume measuring device and a measuring method thereof. Background technique [0003] Seeds, such as corn, are not only important food, economy, and feed crops, but also important raw materials for industry and modern biomass energy, and are also important materials for basic biological research. Corn production is of great significance to ensure global food security, feed supply, and energy utilization. High yield is still the most important goal of maize breeding today, and grain traits a...

Problems solved by technology

The traditional method of measuring the volume of seeds is to use the "drainage method" to measure, specifically: put a certain amount of liquid in the measuring cylinder, the liquid level rises after adding the seeds, and the rising liquid volume is the volume of the added seeds. It is labor-intensive and time-consuming to measure, and the error is also large, which cannot provide accurate and reliable data for researchers.

Moreover, the graduated cylinder with a small measuring range has a limited amount of seeds to be measured at one time, and the graduated cylinder with a large measuring range has a large minimum scale value and low measurement accuracy.
