Automatic shell breaking machine and shell breaking method for melon seeds

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic melon seed shell breaking machine and a shell breaking method, which belong to the field of seed shell breaking. The shell breaking machine includes a draining conveying sieve, a vibrating screen, an air drying device, a seed buffer tank, a shell breaking drum and a shell seed collection The trough and the vibrating screen are arranged at the output end of the draining conveying sieve, the feed port of the air-drying device is arranged at the output end of the vibrating screen, and the air-drying device is used to air-dry the skin of the drained seeds. The invention realizes draining of seeds, air-drying of the epidermis, breaking shells and flowing water operation, and automatically breaking shells. On the one hand, the efficiency is greatly improved, on the other hand, the germination rate can be improved, and the hygienic problem of knocking with the mouth in the traditional method can be avoided. The blower blows upwards, which can quickly dry the moisture on the surface of the seeds, avoiding rotten seeds or mold due to high humidity in the later stage of germination, and then set the seed driving device to drive the seeds horizontally and finally drop them, and output them to the breaking device, which includes seed fixing The device can precisely fix the seeds and quickly break the shells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of seed shell breaking, in particular to an automatic shell breaking machine and a shell breaking method for melon seeds. Background technique [0002] The seeds of melons (such as loofah, bitter gourd, wax gourd, zucchini, watermelon, etc.) are difficult to germinate during sowing and germination due to their thick and hard seed shells, and the germination rate is low, which leads to an increase in the amount of seeds used and germination in production. Problems such as untidy, waste of labor and material resources have affected the development of seedlings and cultivation to a large extent. [0003] In order to improve the germination rate, the traditional method is to soak the seeds with gibberellin for treatment, and the second is to treat the seeds manually. Gibberellin treatment has little effect on improving the germination rate of melon seeds, especially the varieties with thicker and harder seed shells, the ...
