[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0035] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0036] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0037] Example: A device for breeding superior varieties of cardamom, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a washing tank 1, a washing component 2 for automatically washing the pulp and gum layer on the seeds inside the washing tank 1, a feeding component 3 for use with the washing component 2 outside the washing tank 1, a washing pool 4 around the washing tank 1, and a discharge port 11 connected to the washing pool 4 at the bottom of the washing tank 1.
[0038] The cleaning assembly 2 includes a rotating motor 21, a first automatic telescopic rod 22, a turntable 23, a rubbing bag 24, a connecting ring 25, a connecting rod 26, and a connecting block 27. The rotating motor 21 is vertically mounted at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. The turntable 23 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 21. The upper end of the turntable 23 is provided with several cleaning teeth 28, which can improve the rubbing effect. The upper end of the turntable 23 is detachably connected to the rubbing bag 24. The rubbing bag 24 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with openings at both the top and bottom. The upper end of the rubbing bag 24 is detachably connected to the connecting ring 25. In this embodiment, the rubbing bag 24 is made of non-woven fabric. Of course, it can also be made of burlap or other rough and wear-resistant materials. The rubbing bag 24 is fixed to the turntable 23 and the connecting ring 25 by a clamp for easy replacement. Multiple connecting rods 26 are evenly connected to the upper end of the connecting ring 25. The upper end of the connecting rod 26 is connected to the block 27. The first automatic telescopic rod 22 is vertically installed inside the washing tank 1. The upper end of the first automatic telescopic rod 22 is connected to the connecting block 27, and the lower end of the first automatic telescopic rod 22 is connected to the bottom of the washing tank 1. Under the push of the first automatic telescopic rod 22, the connecting ring 25 completely flips the inside of the rubbing bag 24 outward and downward, thus exposing the seeds. Several nozzles 12 are provided on the inner wall of the washing tank 1 around the turntable 23. The nozzles 12 are connected to the first water inlet pipe 13. Water is sprayed from the nozzles 12 to rinse the seeds, which are then discharged from the discharge port 11.
[0039] Since the first automatic telescopic rod 22 requires a large stroke, the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 can be raised so that part of the first automatic telescopic rod 22 is embedded in the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. This is the method adopted in this embodiment. Alternatively, a multi-stage first automatic telescopic rod 22 can be selected. Of course, other solutions are also possible, as long as the stroke requirements of the first automatic telescopic rod 22 can be met.
[0040] The side wall of the cleaning tank 1 has a through groove 14 between the two connecting rods 26. The feeding assembly 3 includes a support groove 31, a feeding groove 32, an extension plate 37, a limiting block 33, and a fixing knob 34. The cross-sections of the support groove 31 and the feeding groove 32 are both U-shaped. One end of the support groove 31 is connected to the through groove 14, and the other end of the support groove 31 is higher than the end of the support groove 31 that is closer to the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to the extension plate 37. The extension plate 37 supports the feeding groove 32 and enhances stability. The feeding trough 32 is slidably connected to the support trough 31. The feeding trough 32 can slide along the length of the support trough 31 to the top of the support ring. The limiting block 33 is provided on the side wall of the feeding trough 32. The limiting block 33 and the support trough 31 work together to limit the length of the feeding trough 32 extending into the cleaning tank 1. The fixing knob 34 is provided on the support trough 31. The fixing knob 34 is used to fix the feeding trough 32. The end of the feeding trough 32 away from the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a baffle 35. A handle 36 is provided on the baffle 35.
[0041] When adding materials, the feeding trough 32 is inserted into the washing tank 1, and the seeds are added into the kneading bag 24 from the feeding tube. The support groove 31 facilitates the sliding of the feeding trough 32, while the fixing knob 34 can fix the feeding trough 32 to prevent it from automatically sliding into the washing tank 1 during kneading. The limiting block 33 limits the length of the feeding trough 32 inside the washing tank 1 to prevent it from being completely inserted into the washing tank 1 and unable to be removed.
[0042] A chute 15 is provided at the upper end of the discharge port 11, and a closing plate 16 is provided in the chute 15. The upper end of the closing plate 16 is connected to the second automatic telescopic rod 17. The closing plate 16 can be pushed by the second automatic telescopic rod 17 to close the discharge port 11, which facilitates the control of the connection between the cleaning tank 1 and the cleaning pool 4.
[0043] The bottom of the washing tank 4 is lower than the bottom of the washing tank 1. A water outlet 41 is located at the top of the washing tank 4, and a second water inlet pipe 42 connects to the inside of the washing tank 4. A screen 5 is installed at the bottom of the washing tank 4, lower than the discharge port 11. The screen 5 slides within the washing tank 4, and a handle 51 is located at the top of the screen 5, allowing it to be removed from the washing tank 4. After the seeds are discharged into the washing tank 4, water continues to flow into the washing tank 4, allowing impurities and shriveled seeds floating on the surface to be discharged through the drain. The seeds are then rinsed through the screen 5, removing other impurities and smaller seeds. This process is simple and convenient.
[0044] Instructions for use: Select plump cardamom fruits, peel off the pericarp and take out the seeds. Soak the seeds in clean water for 10-12 hours. Then, mix the seeds thoroughly with coarse sand or wood ash. Add the seeds to the kneading bag 24 through the feeding component 3. The seeds will then be automatically kneaded. After kneading, discharge the seeds into the washing tank 4 for washing. Allow water to flow through the second water inlet pipe 42 for a period of time. Then, lift the sieve 5 and shake it up and down to rinse the seeds. This will allow you to select high-quality cardamom seeds.
[0045] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
