[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] The present embodiment discloses a fully automatic peanut seed conveying device, including a storage system, which is a funnel-type feed box with an open top, and the top of the funnel-type feed box is a feed port for peanut seeds. A feeding system is connected below the storage system, and the feeding system can be opened at regular intervals to provide peanut seeds to an array system. The array system will receive the peanut seeds in a seed tray, and the array system will transport the seeds to a specified position through a transmission system. The transport system can transport the seed tray to the specified position, and a purge system is started after the qualified seeds are screened. The purge system blows unqualified peanut seeds and other impurities to a recovery tray, and then sends them to a recovery system. The recovery system uses a reciprocating brush to secondary clean the unqualified seeds on the seed tray that have not been blown off to the recovery tray below the device to ensure that the seed tray is clean.

[0027] The above-mentioned feeding system, array system, transmission system and purge system each have two subsystems to improve the seed transmission efficiency, and the two subsystems are controlled by the main control system of the device so that the two subsystems operate alternately without interfering with each other to achieve uninterrupted transmission.

[0028] The above-mentioned feeding system uses a valve controller to realize the timed and quantitative feeding of seeds in the storage system to the array system. The valve controller is controlled by the main control system of the device. The lowest point of the channel opening of the feeding system and the height of the plane of the array system are strictly controlled to avoid waste or accumulation of peanut seeds and realize stable and efficient material supply.

[0029] The above-mentioned array system consists of a seed plate and a silo. The gap between the seed plate and the silo is smaller than the size of a single peanut. There are grooves on the seed plate. After the peanut seeds are piled up on the array system, the array system can cooperate with the silo to arrange all the seeds in the grooves of the seed plate.

[0030] The above-mentioned transmission system consists of a motor, a screw rod and a slide rail. The motor can rotate forward and reverse to realize the back and forth transmission of the seed plate. The motor can control the start, stop and direction through the main control system. The screw rod is used to control the transmission position of the seed plate, and the slide rail is used to assist the transmission to make the transmission process smooth.

[0031] The above-mentioned purging system is realized by a fan, and the start and stop of the fan is controlled by the main control system. When the seeds in the seed tray are screened, the fan starts to blow away the unqualified seeds and impurities on the seed tray.

[0032] The above-mentioned recovery system consists of a brush and a recovery plate. When the seed plate reaches the specified position, the brush reciprocates to clean the seeds in the seed plate that have not been blown off. The cleaned seeds will be collected in the recovery plate through the hollow position on the chassis.

The second silo 16 can prevent the peanut seeds from splashing around in the second seed tray 13 during the feeding process. Then the main control system 11 controls the second motor 18 to rotate the second screw rod 14, so that the second seed tray 13 moves to the second purge system 17. At this time, the main control system 11 controls the fan of the first purge system 7 to stop, and the second seed tray 13 starts seed screening. After the manual screening is completed, the fan of the second purge system 17 is started, and the second purge system 17 purges impurities and unsuitable At the same time, the main control system 11 controls the first motor 8 to reverse, so that the first screw rod 4 drives the first seed plate 3 to move to the position of the brush 9, and the main control system 11 controls the brush slide rail 10 to drive the brush 9 to slide left and right, so as to clean the seeds that have not been blown off on the first seed plate 3 for a second time, and the brush 9 sweeps the remaining peanut seeds on the first seed plate 3 to the recovery plate 19, and then the main control system 11 continues to control the first motor 8 to reverse, and drives the first seed plate 3 to move to the bottom of the first silo 6 through the first screw rod 4, and then the main control system 11 opens the built-in electric valve of the first feeding system 2 for the next round Feeding, repeat the above operation, when the first seed tray 3 moves to the first purge system 7, the main control system 11 controls the second motor 18 to reverse, so that the second screw rod 14 drives the second seed tray 13 to move to the position of the brush 9, the main control system 11 controls the brush slide 10 to drive the brush 9 to slide left and right, and the seeds that have not been blown off the second seed tray 13 are cleaned and recovered into the recovery tray 19, and then the main control system 11 continues to control the second motor 18 to reverse, so that the second screw rod 14 drives the second seed tray 13 to move to the bottom of the second silo 16 to start the next round of peanut seed transmission of the second seed tray 13.

The first slide rail 5 allows the first seed tray 3 to slide smoothly during the movement, and the second slide rail 15 allows the second seed tray 13 to slide smoothly during the movement.

[0038] When in use, the time required for the first seed plate 3 to complete the seed selection and purging process is equal to the time required for the second seed plate 13 to add, transport, clean and recover. The time required for the second seed plate 13 to complete the seed selection and purging process is equal to the time required for the first seed plate 3 to add, transport, clean and recover.

[0039] Furthermore, the first purge system 7 and the second purge system 17 are each implemented by a fan, and the start and stop of the fan is controlled by the main control system 11.
