Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seed processing technology, specifically a method for adapting small microparticle seeds to multiple environmental stresses and for pelleting and industrial processing. Background Art
[0002] Plasma seed processing technology is an advanced pre-sowing treatment technology. This technology can etch the seed coat, increase its permeability, break seed dormancy, and enhance its adaptability and stress resistance. However, the field environment is complex, and agricultural production faces various environmental stresses such as pests, drought, climate change, and salinity. Therefore, whether seeds can germinate successfully and grow healthily becomes a crucial link in the crop's field growth process. Seed pelleting technology is a key pre-sowing treatment technology. It alters the seed's shape by coating the seed surface with multiple layers of protective or functional materials to improve its sowing performance and provide a reliable and safe growing environment in the field. This not only effectively controls pests and ensures seed growth but also allows for the addition of active substances and nutrients to the pelleting powder, creating a beneficial microenvironment for seed growth.
[0003] Although plasma seed treatment technology can significantly improve seed germination performance and create a favorable internal growth environment, seeds still face challenges in germination and growth within the complex field environment. While pelleted seeds can provide a good external growth environment, complete germination and growth are difficult to achieve if the seed's internal growth environment is inadequate. Therefore, organically combining plasma seed processing technology with seed pelleting technology can create high-performance seeds that possess both an excellent internal environment for germination and growth and a beneficial external environment for field growth. This not only ensures the effective expression of superior genes in the seed but also promotes crop growth and development, thereby increasing crop yield in the field. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a method for adapting microparticle seeds to multiple environmental stresses and for pelleting and industrial processing. This process can produce high-performance seeds that have both an excellent internal environment for germination and growth and an external environment that is beneficial to field growth.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for the industrialized processing of microparticle seeds under multiple environmental stresses and for pelleting. The equipment required includes a high-frequency micro-vibration seed uniform distribution device, a plasma seed multi-environmental stress adaptation treatment device located at the end of the discharge port of the high-frequency micro-vibration seed uniform distribution device, a seed pelleting device located behind the plasma seed multi-environmental stress adaptation treatment device, and a matching multi-layer continuous drying device.
[0006] Based on the aforementioned equipment, the implementation of this processing method includes the following steps:
[0007] S10. Start the overall device in the human-computer interaction interface. Each device is started in reverse order from back to front according to the program set by the central processing unit.
[0008] S20. Small particles of seeds are put into the hopper of the high-frequency micro-vibration seed uniform distribution device. After the hopper door is opened after being detected by the gravity sensor at the bottom of the hopper, the seeds are transported to the seed distribution channel through multiple parallel spiral feeding channels. In the seed distribution channel, the seeds are spread in a single layer by high-frequency micro-vibration.
[0009] S30. Single-layer flat-lay seeds fall from the end of the seed dispersal channel into the conveyor belt of the plasma seed multi-environmental stress adaptation treatment equipment and are transported to the plasma seed treatment area.
[0010] S40. A stable glow discharge phenomenon is formed between the plates in the plasma seed treatment area. The seeds are spread out and pass through the plasma seed treatment area at a uniform speed, so that the seeds can be able to cope with various environmental stresses after plasma treatment. After leaving the area, the treated seeds enter the seed collection chamber.
[0011] S50, The first vertical auger elevator vertically lifts the seeds from the first seed collection bin to the weighing device located above the seed pelleting equipment;
[0012] S60. After the seed weight reaches the set weight value of the weighing device of the pelleting equipment, the seed falls into the pelleting chamber of the seed pelleting equipment below, and the first slinger rotates to drive the seed to rotate.
[0013] S70, The peristaltic droplet supply device drips a solution volume appropriate to the seed quantity into the atomizing disc set in the seed pelleting equipment. The second disc rotates at high speed to centrifuge and atomize the water droplets and spray them onto the outer wall of the rotating seeds.
[0014] S80, the peristaltic droplet supply device stops supplying liquid, and the uniform micro-vibration powder supply device uniformly supplies the pelleting powder dosage that matches the seed quantity into the pelleting chamber.
[0015] S90, Repeat steps S70 and S80;
[0016] S100. When the diameter of the pelleted seed reaches the preset value, the pelleting chamber door opens automatically, the wet pelleted seed leaves the pelleting chamber and enters the second seed collection chamber, and the first slinger stops rotating.
[0017] S110, the second vertical auger elevator lifts the seeds from the second seed collection bin to the first layer conveyor belt of the multi-layer continuous drying equipment, and slowly rotates to convey the pelletized wet seed granules to the second and third layer conveyor belts;
[0018] S120 When the pelleted seed particles reach the end of the third conveyor belt of the multi-layer continuous drying equipment, the pelleted seed particles change from wet to dry and leave the drying equipment, resulting in pelleted dry seed particles that can cope with various environmental stresses.
[0019] S130. The entire device is shut down in the human-machine interface, and each device is shut down sequentially from front to back according to the central processing unit's setting program.
[0020] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S10 include:
[0021] S11. Place the seed in the depth vision seed detection sensor below the human-computer interaction interface for detection.
[0022] S12. Based on the detection of seeds by the depth vision seed detection sensor, the seed type and seed diameter can be obtained. The built-in program of the central processing unit will calculate the plasma generation power and the conveyor belt speed of the plasma seed multi-environment stress adaptation treatment equipment suitable for the seed, and adjust the electrode spacing of the plasma seed treatment area.
[0023] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S20 include:
[0024] S21. After the seeds enter the seed dispersing channel, the seed dispersing channel vibrator will gradually increase the excitation frequency and amplitude. The visual accelerometer set above the seed dispersing channel will detect the single sliding acceleration of the seeds in the seed dispersing channel and feed it back to the central processing unit.
[0025] S22. When the central processing unit detects that the single sliding acceleration of the seed particle is just greater than zero, it slightly reduces the excitation frequency and amplitude to ensure that the seed can roll in a controllable manner in the seed dispersal channel without jumping.
[0026] S23. The central processing unit stores the excitation frequency and amplitude obtained in S22 as process parameters for subsequent seed dispersion processing.
[0027] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S40 include:
[0028] S41. A temperature sensor located above the plasma seed treatment area will monitor the area temperature in real time.
[0029] S42. When the temperature sensor reading exceeds 20°C for the first time, the refrigeration compressor starts and the vaporizer absorbs heat to ensure that the temperature in the plasma seed treatment area does not exceed 20°C, so as not to damage the physiological activity of the seeds.
[0030] S43. The high-frequency micro-vibration exciter of the conveyor belt inherits the working parameters of the seed channel exciter, enabling the seeds on the conveyor belt to tumble, thereby achieving a uniform immersion effect of plasma seed treatment when the seeds pass through the plasma seed treatment area.
[0031] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S60 include:
[0032] S61. When the seed weight reaches the set weight value, the blocking chamber door located at the top of the weighing device of the seed pelleting equipment is closed to prevent the plasma-treated seeds from falling back into the weighing device.
[0033] S62. The door below the weighing device opens, and the seeds fall into the pelleting chamber of the seed pelleting equipment.
[0034] S63. After the weighing value of the weighing device returns to zero, the lower compartment door of the device closes, preventing the compartment door from opening again.
[0035] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S90 include:
[0036] S91. Based on the seed diameter and type, the central processing unit calculates the control time for powder supply, liquid supply, and the interval between the two according to the pelleting mechanism model.
[0037] S92. The program in the central processing unit sets the powder-liquid mass ratio of the uniform micro-vibration powder supply device and the peristaltic droplet supply device to 2:1. During the repetition of steps S70 and S80, the powder-liquid mass ratio remains unchanged, but the supply rate of the uniform micro-vibration powder supply device and the peristaltic droplet supply device increases linearly with the increase of the number of repetitions, thereby changing the liquid supply amount and the powder supply amount.
[0038] S93: The pelletizing chamber has a built-in anti-adhesion depth camera that continuously detects the diameter of the seed pellets. When 80% of the particles in the detection area have a diameter greater than the preset value, the anti-adhesion depth camera sends a pelletizing chamber door opening signal to the central processing unit.
[0039] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S110 include:
[0040] S111, a multi-layer continuous drying equipment has three layers of conveyor belts arranged in an alternating manner with the same rotation speed. The first and third layers of conveyor belts rotate in the same direction, while the second layer rotates in the opposite direction to the first and third layers.
[0041] S112. The vaporization heat absorption evaporator in the plasma seed treatment area is connected to the condenser fan of the multi-layer continuous drying equipment via a compressor. The refrigerant in the pipeline liquefies and releases heat in the condenser and is blown out by the fan. The heat is used for seed pelleting and wet particle drying.
[0042] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S120 include:
[0043] S121. When the wet seed pellets fall from the end of the third conveyor belt into the sorting port, the moisture content of the batch of seed pellets is detected by an infrared moisture detector. When the moisture content of the batch is less than 7%, the wet seed pellets can be regarded as dry pellets. The sorting port blocking door opens, the electric push rod retracts and opens the drying outlet door, and the dry pellets leave the drying equipment. Conversely, when the moisture content of the batch is less than 7%, the sorting port blocking door opens, the electric push rod extends and closes the drying outlet door, and the wet seed pellets re-enter the second seed collection chamber via the track.
[0044] S122. The central processing unit program analyzes the data transmitted by the infrared moisture detector. When the batch moisture content is less than 7%, no action is taken. Otherwise, the moisture content data is input into the preset calculation model to calculate the required heat value.
[0045] S123. When the heat blown out by the condenser fan is insufficient to meet the drying requirements, the finned tube heater located directly in front of the condenser fan is activated. The heat generated by the finned tube heater blown out by the fan dries the seed pellets into moist granules.
[0046] S124. Repeat S121, S122 and S123 until the moisture content of the batch of seed pellets detected by the infrared moisture detector is less than 7%, then stop and the dried seed pellets leave the drying equipment.
[0047] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0048] 1. Improve seed growth quality and field yield: This invention combines the advantages of advanced plasma seed treatment technology and seed pelleting technology to create a favorable internal and external environment for seed growth. This not only ensures seed growth quality but also significantly improves crop yield and quality in the field.
[0049] 2.

[0050] 3.

[0056] The following detailed description of a specific embodiment of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment.
[0057] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", 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 the technical solution of 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.
[0058] This invention provides a method for adapting microparticle seeds to multiple environmental stresses and for industrialized pelleting processing. This process can create high-performance seeds that possess both an excellent internal environment for germination and growth and a beneficial external environment for field growth. This not only fully ensures the effective expression of superior genes in the seeds but also promotes crop growth and development, thereby increasing crop yield in the field. The specific embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0059] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the present invention provides a method for the industrialized processing of small-particle seeds under multiple environmental stresses and for pelleting. The equipment required to achieve this includes a high-frequency micro-vibration seed uniform distribution device, a plasma seed multi-environmental stress adaptation treatment device located at the end of the discharge port of the high-frequency micro-vibration seed uniform distribution device, a seed pelleting device located behind the plasma seed multi-environmental stress adaptation treatment device, and a matching multi-layer continuous drying device.
[0060] Based on the aforementioned equipment, the implementation of this processing method includes the following steps:
[0061] S10. Start the overall device in the human-computer interaction interface. Each device is started in reverse order from back to front according to the program set by the central processing unit.
[0062] The following steps should be included before implementing S10:
[0063] S11. In order to realize information interaction between the machine and the seed and achieve a high degree of adaptability between machine parameters and different seed processing, a depth vision sensor set below the human-machine interface is used to detect the seed.
[0064] S12. Based on the detection of seeds by the depth vision seed detection sensor, the seed type and seed diameter are obtained. The built-in program of the central processing unit will calculate the plasma generation power and the conveyor belt speed of the plasma seed multi-environment stress adaptation treatment equipment suitable for the seed, and adjust the electrode spacing in the plasma seed treatment area.
[0065] This step involves the interaction between seed parameters and machine processing parameters, providing correct operating parameters for subsequent seed treatment. It achieves highly intelligent control, reduces the professional technical requirements for technicians, ensures the effectiveness of seed treatment, and lays the foundation for successful seed growth in the field.
[0066] S20. Small particles of seeds are put into the hopper of the high-frequency micro-vibration seed uniform distribution device. After the hopper door is opened after being detected by the gravity sensor at the bottom of the hopper, the seeds are transported to the seed distribution channel through multiple parallel spiral feeding channels. In the seed distribution channel, the seeds are spread in a single layer by high-frequency micro-vibration.
[0067] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S20 also include:
[0068] S21. After the seeds enter the seed dispersing channel, the seed dispersing channel vibrator will gradually increase the excitation frequency and amplitude. The visual accelerometer set above the seed dispersing channel will detect the single sliding acceleration of the seeds in the seed dispersing channel and feed it back to the central processing unit.
[0069] S22. When the central processing unit detects that the single sliding acceleration of the seed particle is just greater than zero, it slightly reduces the excitation frequency and amplitude to ensure that the seed can roll in a controllable manner in the seed dispersal channel without jumping.
[0070] S23. The central processing unit stores the excitation frequency and amplitude obtained in S22 as process parameters for subsequent seed dispersion processing.
[0071] This step employs an adaptive adjustment method for control parameters. During the initial processing, the optimal operating parameters need to be efficiently found, after which normal operation can commence. In subsequent processing, the system will fine-tune within this optimal parameter range, ensuring a single-layer tiling effect of the seed flow. This lays a solid and excellent foundation for subsequent plasma seed processing, ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the entire seed processing workflow.
[0072] S30. Single-layer flat-lay seeds fall from the end of the seed dispersal channel into the conveyor belt of the plasma seed multi-environmental stress adaptation treatment equipment and are transported to the plasma seed treatment area.
[0073] S40. A stable glow discharge phenomenon is formed between the plates in the plasma seed treatment area. The seeds are spread out and pass through the plasma seed treatment area at a uniform speed, so that the seeds can be able to cope with various environmental stresses after plasma treatment. After leaving the area, the treated seeds enter the seed collection chamber.
[0074] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S40 also include:
[0075] S41. A temperature sensor located above the plasma seed treatment area will monitor the area temperature in real time.
[0076] S42. When the temperature sensor reading exceeds 20°C for the first time, the refrigeration compressor starts and the vaporizer absorbs heat to ensure that the temperature in the plasma seed treatment area does not exceed 20°C, so as not to damage the physiological activity of the seeds.
[0077] S43. The high-frequency micro-vibration exciter of the conveyor belt inherits the working parameters of the seed channel exciter, enabling the seeds on the conveyor belt to tumble, thereby achieving a uniform immersion effect of plasma seed treatment when the seeds pass through the plasma seed treatment area.
[0078] During atmospheric pressure plasma seed treatment, the temperature in the glow discharge region will rise to a certain extent. Since seeds are living organisms, a temperature control device is used to regulate the temperature range to prevent loss of seed viability. Specifically, this temperature control device is integrated with the condenser in the multi-layer continuous drying equipment, allowing the fan to reuse the heat output from the condenser for drying, thus reducing power consumption in the overall process.
[0079] S50, The first vertical auger elevator vertically lifts the seeds from the first seed collection bin to the weighing device located above the seed pelleting equipment;
[0080] S60. After the seed weight reaches the set weight value of the weighing device of the pelleting equipment, the seed falls into the pelleting chamber of the seed pelleting equipment below, and the first slinger rotates to drive the seed to rotate.
[0081] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S60 also include:
[0082] S61. When the seed weight reaches the set weight value, the blocking chamber door located at the top of the weighing device of the seed pelleting equipment is closed to prevent the plasma-treated seeds from falling back into the weighing device.
[0083] S62. The door below the weighing device opens, and the seeds fall into the pelleting chamber of the seed pelleting equipment.
[0084] S63. After the weighing value of the weighing device returns to zero, the lower compartment door of the device closes, preventing the compartment door from opening again.
[0085] The weighing device in this step ensures the precise proportioning of seeds for batch pelleting. At the same time, the setting of the blocking door ensures the accuracy of weighing and also ensures the orderly and continuous operation of the overall process.
[0086] S70, The peristaltic droplet supply device drips a solution volume appropriate to the seed quantity into the atomizing disc set in the seed pelleting equipment. The second disc rotates at high speed to centrifuge and atomize the water droplets and spray them onto the outer wall of the rotating seeds.
[0087] S80, the peristaltic droplet supply device stops supplying liquid, and the uniform micro-vibration powder supply device uniformly supplies the pelleting powder dosage that matches the seed quantity into the pelleting chamber.
[0088] S90, Repeat steps S70 and S80;
[0089] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S90 also include:
[0090] S91. Based on the seed diameter and type, the central processing unit calculates the control time for powder supply, liquid supply, and the interval between the two according to the pelleting mechanism model.
[0091] S92. The program in the central processing unit sets the powder-liquid mass ratio of the uniform micro-vibration powder supply device and the peristaltic droplet supply device to 2:1. During the repetition of steps S70 and S80, the powder-liquid mass ratio remains unchanged, but the supply rate of the uniform micro-vibration powder supply device and the peristaltic droplet supply device increases linearly with the increase of the number of repetitions, thereby changing the liquid supply amount and the powder supply amount.
[0092] S93: The pelletizing chamber has a built-in anti-adhesion depth camera that continuously detects the diameter of the seed pellets. When 80% of the particles in the detection area have a diameter greater than the preset value, the anti-adhesion depth camera sends a pelletizing chamber door opening signal to the central processing unit.
[0093] Proper powder-liquid supply is crucial for successful seed pelleting in this step. A highly intelligent powder-liquid supply and control strategy facilitates factory-scale seed pelleting production. Specifically, the use of a depth camera to detect the diameter of the pelleted seeds ensures continuous production throughout the entire process.
[0094] S100. When the diameter of the pelleted seed reaches the preset value, the pelleting chamber door opens automatically, the wet pelleted seed leaves the pelleting chamber and enters the second seed collection chamber, and the first slinger stops rotating.
[0095] S110, the second vertical auger elevator lifts the seeds from the second seed collection bin to the first layer conveyor belt of the multi-layer continuous drying equipment, and slowly rotates to convey the pelletized wet seed granules to the second and third layer conveyor belts;
[0096] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S110 also include:
[0097] S111, a multi-layer continuous drying equipment has three layers of conveyor belts arranged in an alternating manner with the same rotation speed. The first and third layers of conveyor belts rotate in the same direction, while the second layer rotates in the opposite direction to the first and third layers.
[0098] S112. The vaporization heat-absorbing evaporator in the plasma seed treatment area is connected to the condenser fan of the multi-layer continuous drying equipment via a compressor. The refrigerant in the pipeline liquefies and releases heat in the condenser and is blown out by the fan. The heat is used for seed pelleting and wet particle drying.
[0099] S120 When the pelleted seed particles reach the end of the third conveyor belt of the multi-layer continuous drying equipment, the pelleted seed particles change from wet to dry and leave the drying equipment, resulting in pelleted dry seed particles that can cope with various environmental stresses.
[0100] Based on the above scheme, the specific steps in S120 also include:
[0101] S121. When the wet seed pellets fall from the end of the third conveyor belt into the sorting port, the moisture content of the batch of seed pellets is detected by an infrared moisture detector. When the moisture content of the batch is less than 7%, the wet seed pellets can be regarded as dry pellets. The sorting port blocking door opens, the electric push rod retracts and opens the drying outlet door, and the dry pellets leave the drying equipment. Conversely, when the moisture content of the batch is less than 7%, the sorting port blocking door opens, the electric push rod extends and closes the drying outlet door, and the wet seed pellets re-enter the second seed collection chamber via the track.
[0102] S122. The central processing unit program analyzes the data transmitted by the infrared moisture detector. When the batch moisture content is less than 7%, no action is taken. Otherwise, the moisture content data is input into the preset calculation model to calculate the required heat value.
[0103] S123. When the heat blown out by the condenser fan is insufficient to meet the drying requirements, the finned tube heater located directly in front of the condenser fan is activated. The heat generated by the finned tube heater blown out by the fan dries the seed pellets into moist granules.
[0104] S124. Repeat S121, S122 and S123 until the moisture content of the batch of seed pellets detected by the infrared moisture detector is less than 7%, then stop and the dried seed pellets leave the drying equipment.
[0105] This step combines multi-layer continuous drying with moisture detection and judgment, which improves the pass rate of seed pelleting and avoids a series of seed growth problems caused by unreasonable moisture content in seed pelleting.
[0106] S130. The entire device is shut down in the human-machine interface, and each device is shut down sequentially from front to back according to the central processing unit's setting program.
[0107] This invention provides a method for the industrialized processing of microparticle seeds under various environmental stresses and for pelleting them. This process supports highly automated control. During seed pre-detection, information exchange between seed data and machine processing parameters is achieved, ensuring the adaptability of processing parameters to seed type throughout the process. Adaptive parameter control strategies during single-layer flat feeding and seed pelleting provide intelligent assurance for its functionality. The evaporator in the plasma seed treatment zone achieves temperature control, while the condenser in the multi-layer continuous drying equipment achieves drying through heat release. Both are integrated into the same system, enabling waste heat collection and utilization, improving equipment utilization, and reducing overall power consumption. Seed attitude control in the process ensures effective seed treatment and a favorable internal environment for seed production, thereby achieving increased yield in the field.
[0108] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely a few specific examples of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The method for adapting microparticle seeds to multiple environmental stresses and for industrialized pelleting processing as described in claim 1, characterized in that, S10 further includes the following steps: S11. Place the seed in the depth vision seed detection sensor below the human-computer interaction interface for detection. S12. Based on the detection of seeds by the depth vision seed detection sensor, the seed type and seed diameter are obtained. The built-in program of the central processing unit will calculate the appropriate plasma generation power and the conveyor belt speed of the plasma seed multi-environment stress adaptation treatment equipment for the seed, and adjust the electrode spacing in the plasma seed treatment area.
3. The method for adapting microparticle seeds to multiple environmental stresses and for industrialized pelleting processing as described in claim 2, characterized in that, S40 also includes the following steps: S41. A temperature sensor located above the plasma seed treatment area will monitor the area temperature in real time. S42. When the temperature sensor reading exceeds 20°C for the first time, the refrigeration compressor starts and the vaporizer absorbs heat to ensure that the temperature in the plasma seed treatment area does not exceed 20°C, so as not to damage the physiological activity of the seeds. S43. The high-frequency micro-vibration exciter of the conveyor belt inherits the working parameters of the seed channel exciter, enabling the seeds on the conveyor belt to tumble, thereby achieving a uniform immersion effect of plasma seed treatment when the seeds pass through the plasma seed treatment area.
4. The method for adapting microparticle seeds to multiple environmental stresses and for industrialized pelleting processing as described in claim 1, characterized in that, S60 also includes the following steps: S61. When the seed weight reaches the set weight value, the blocking chamber door located at the top of the weighing device of the seed pelleting equipment is closed to prevent the plasma-treated seeds from falling back into the weighing device. S62. The door below the weighing device opens, and the seeds fall into the pelleting chamber of the seed pelleting equipment. S63. After the weighing value of the weighing device returns to zero, the lower compartment door of the device closes, preventing the compartment door from opening again.
5. The method for adapting microparticle seeds to multiple environmental stresses and for industrialized pelleting processing as described in claim 1, characterized in that, S110 further includes the following steps: S111, a multi-layer continuous drying equipment has three layers of conveyor belts arranged in an alternating manner with the same rotation speed. The first and third layers of conveyor belts rotate in the same direction, while the second layer rotates in the opposite direction to the first and third layers. S112. The vaporization heat-absorbing evaporator in the plasma seed treatment area is connected to the condenser fan of the multi-layer continuous drying equipment via a compressor. The refrigerant in the pipeline liquefies and releases heat in the condenser and is blown out by the fan. The heat is used for seed pelleting and wet particle drying.
6. The method for adapting microparticle seeds to multiple environmental stresses and for industrialized pelleting processing as described in claim 1, characterized in that, S120 also includes the following steps: S121. When the wet seed pellets fall from the end of the third conveyor belt into the sorting port, the moisture content of the batch of seed pellets is detected by an infrared moisture detector. When the moisture content of the batch is less than 7%, the wet seed pellets can be regarded as dry pellets. The sorting port blocking door opens, the electric push rod retracts and opens the drying outlet door, and the dry pellets leave the drying equipment. Conversely, when the moisture content of the batch is less than 7%, the sorting port blocking door opens, the electric push rod extends and closes the drying outlet door, and the wet seed pellets re-enter the second seed collection chamber via the track. S122. The central processing unit program analyzes the data transmitted by the infrared moisture detector. When the batch moisture content is less than 7%, no action is taken. Otherwise, the moisture content data is input into the preset calculation model to calculate the required heat value. S123. When the heat blown out by the condenser fan is insufficient to meet the drying requirements, the finned tube heater located directly in front of the condenser fan is activated. The heat generated by the finned tube heater blown out by the fan dries the seed pellets into moist granules. S124. Repeat S121, S122 and S123 until the moisture content of the batch of seed pellets detected by the infrared moisture detector is less than 7%, then stop and the dried seed pellets leave the drying equipment.
