Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of Astragalus cultivation technology, specifically to a pre-screening device for Astragalus seeds. Background Technology
[0002] Astragalus is a common Chinese medicinal herb with extremely high medicinal value. During its cultivation, seed quality and pretreatment are crucial for subsequent germination and growth. Astragalus seeds have a hard outer shell; without crushing and breaking the shell, they are difficult to germinate successfully. Effective crushing and breaking the shell improves the germination rate and survival rate, laying a foundation for good growth. After seed treatment, the seeds need to be screened to remove dust and outer shell particles. However, the existing screening devices still have the following technical problems when in use: Existing screening devices cannot effectively control the falling speed of Astragalus seeds when screening them, which affects the screening effect and makes it impossible to completely remove the broken shell particles and dust inside the seeds. Furthermore, after continuous use, the filter screen will accumulate a large amount of dust or broken shell particles, making it inconvenient to process quickly.
[0003] Therefore, a pre-screening device for Astragalus membranaceus seeds is proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pre-screening device for Astragalus membranaceus seeds to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Inside the screening box 1, a horizontal plate 3 is fixed horizontally. On the upper side of the horizontal plate 3, evenly arranged support springs 4 are fixed. The upper ends of the evenly arranged support springs 4 are all fixed to the screening trough 5. The lower end of the front side of the screening box 1 is slidably connected to the receiving trough 6. Vibration motors 7 are fixed on the front and rear sides of the screening trough 5. When the seeds fall into the screening trough 5, the vibration motor 7 drives the screening trough to shake, causing the seeds to fall slowly. An air inlet pipe 8 is fixed to the lower left side of the screening box 1, and a fan 9 is fixed inside the air inlet pipe 8. An air outlet pipe 10 is fixed to the lower right side of the screening box 1. A moving mechanism is fixed to the upper end of the air outlet pipe 10 on the right side of the screening box 1. A rotating mechanism is fixed to the lower end of the moving mechanism. An annular plate 11 is fixed to the left end of the rotating mechanism. A first filter screen 12 is fixed inside the annular plate 11. A fixing mechanism is fixed on the right side of the screening box 1 at the lower end of the air outlet duct 10. A cleaning brush 13 is fixed on the side wall of the fixing mechanism. When a large amount of dust or seed shell particles accumulate on the side wall of the first filter screen 12 due to long-term filtration, the first filter screen 12 can be moved to the right and the left side of the first filter screen 12 can be treated by the cleaning brush 13.
[0019] The feeding adjustment mechanism includes a sealing plate 14, which is slidably connected to the lower end of the seed adding box 2. A telescopic cylinder 15 is fixed on the left side of the seed adding box 2, and a connecting plate 16 is fixed on the left end of the telescopic cylinder 15. The right side of the connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing plate 14.
[0020] The lower end of the inner wall of the screening tank 5 is fixed with evenly arranged baffles 17. By setting the baffles 17, the blocking effect on the seeds can be increased and the falling speed of the seeds can be controlled. The cross-sectional shape of the baffles 17 is arc-shaped.
[0021] A second filter screen 18 is fixed at the left end inside the air inlet duct 8.
[0022] The moving mechanism includes a strip plate 19, the left side of which is fixedly connected to the right side of the screening box 1. A lead screw 20 is rotatably connected inside the strip plate 19 via a bearing. A first housing is fixed to the right side of the strip plate 19, and a first motor 21 is fixed inside the first housing. The right end of the lead screw 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 21. A moving plate 22 is threadedly connected to the rod wall of the lead screw 20. The upper side of the moving plate 22 is slidably connected to the upper end of the inner wall of the strip plate 19. The first motor 21 is a forward and reverse reversible motor. The first motor 21 drives the lead screw 20 at the output end to rotate, and the lead screw 20 drives the moving plate 22 threadedly connected to the rod wall to move left and right.
[0023] The rotating mechanism includes a second housing, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable plate 22. A second motor 23 is fixed inside the second housing. A rotating rod 24 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the movable plate 22. The right end of the rotating rod 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 23. A mounting bracket 25 is fixed to the left end of the rotating rod 24. The left side of the mounting bracket 25 is fixedly connected to the right side of the annular plate 11. When it is necessary to clean the dust attached to the side wall of the first filter screen 12 by cleaning the cleaning brush 13, the position of the cleaning brush 13 can be adjusted so that the right side of the cleaning brush 13 contacts the left side of the first filter screen 12. The rotating mechanism drives the annular plate 11 and the first filter screen 12 to rotate, thereby cleaning the first filter screen 12.
[0024] The fixing mechanism includes a threaded rod 26, the left end of which is fixedly connected to the right side of the screening box 1. A fixing ring 27 is rotatably connected to the outside of the threaded rod 26. Both ends of the threaded rod 26 are threadedly connected to fastening nuts 28. The cleaning brush 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing ring 27. After the position of the cleaning brush 13 is adjusted, the fixing mechanism fixes and limits the cleaning brush 13.
[0025] A support plate 29 is fixed to the lower right side of the screening box 1, and a dust collection trough 30 is placed on the upper end of the support plate 29.
[0026] Working principle: In use, the seeds are poured into the seed adding box 2. By activating the telescopic cylinder 15, the telescopic cylinder 15 moves the sealing plate 14 on the side wall. The movement of the sealing plate 14 adjusts the seed feeding speed. The seeds fall into the screening tank 5. The vibration motor 7 drives the screening tank 5 to shake, causing the seeds to fall slowly. At the same time, the fan 9 drives the airflow. The airflow carries the dust and small particles of the outer shell mixed in the seeds into the air outlet pipe 10. The seeds are filtered by the first filter screen 12 inside the air outlet pipe 10, thereby effectively removing the dust and small particles of the outer shell from the seeds. After the first filter screen 12 has been used for a long time, the first motor 21 can be started. The first motor 21 drives the lead screw 20 to rotate. The lead screw 20 drives the moving plate 22, which is threaded to the rod wall, to move to the right. The moving plate 22 drives the annular plate 11 on the side wall and the first filter screen 12 to move to the right. The position of the cleaning brush 13 is adjusted so that the cleaning brush 13 rotates vertically and its right side contacts the left side of the first filter screen 12. The rotating mechanism drives the annular plate 11 and the first filter screen 12 to rotate, cleaning the dust accumulated on the left side of the first filter screen 12.
