Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field, and in particular to a bean seed feeding and sorting device and a sorting method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Seed slicing sampling is a delicate and important task, usually used for seed quality testing, variety identification, physiological and biochemical research, etc. At present, most of the automated seed sampling work requires the following steps:

[0003] 1) Seed arrangement: Arrange the seeds in a straight line or other order to facilitate subsequent positioning and grabbing;

[0004] 2) Seed grabbing: Grab the seeds with mechanical grippers;

[0005] 3) Seed orientation: The embryo of the seed is oriented in a fixed direction by rotating the mechanical gripper, etc., to facilitate subsequent slicing operations.

[0006] Among them, seed orientation is the most complicated and important step, especially when the seeds to be sampled are soybean seeds. Due to their small particle size and elliptical shape that cannot move quickly and steadily on their own, the seed orientation step alone requires the design of a complex motion mechanism to cooperate with each other to complete.

[0007] The application document with application number CN201010601808.7 in the patent library discloses a method and process for orienting, sampling and collecting seed tissue from a single seed, wherein the operation method for seed orientation is to first "apply (for example, with a brush or spray) the iron-based coating 2 to the outside of the corn ear 1. Then shell the ear to release the single seed 3. Because the seed is coated on the ear 1, the iron-based coating 2 basically only covers the outside or crown part of the single seed 3". After that, the action of the conveyor belt drives a "magnet 34" to absorb the seed to complete the seed orientation. The above method, on the one hand, has a more complicated operation process. If it only relies on the method of applying the iron-based coating, the sampling angle of some seeds will still be offset. On the other hand, when the seeds to be sampled are soybean seeds, the coating of the iron-based coating still needs to be carried out one by one, resulting in certain limitations in the subsequent directional sampling of soybean seeds. Summary of the invention

[0008] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a bean seed feeding and sorting device and a sorting method thereof.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0010] The present invention first provides a bean seed loading and sorting device, including a main frame and a detection system and a feeding system arranged above and below the main frame, a material picking system is also provided on one side above the feeding system, wherein the feeding system is used for feeding the bean seeds, the detection system is configured to detect the state of the bean seeds, and the material picking system is configured to pick up the bean seeds that meet the conditions for subsequent sampling work.

[0011] As for the structure of the feeding system which is the core technical concept of the present invention, it includes a barrel fixedly set on a main frame, with an open upper end, and capable of holding bean seeds inside. A chassis is provided below the barrel in a liftable manner, and a plurality of top columns are vertically provided on the upper side of the chassis. A plurality of openings corresponding to the top columns are also provided at the bottom of the barrel. The top columns are vertically slidably arranged in the corresponding openings, and the upper ends are arranged to be able to lift up a single bean seed inside the barrel.

[0012] Furthermore, the detection system includes a processor and a collection camera disposed above the barrel and communicatively connected to the processor, the collection camera being configured to collect image information of the bean seeds at the upper end of the top column from top to bottom, and the processor being configured to automatically identify whether the germ side of the bean seeds is facing upward and / or obliquely upward.

[0013] Furthermore, the material picking system includes an X-axis driving mechanism, which is transmission-connected to a Y-axis driving mechanism capable of being driven to move along a horizontal X-axis, and the Y-axis driving mechanism is transmission-connected to a material picking mechanism capable of being driven to move along a horizontal Y-axis. The material picking mechanism includes a slide seat which can be raised and lowered, and a clamping claw capable of clamping bean seeds with the germ side facing upward and / or diagonally upward is installed on one side of the slide seat.

[0014] On the basis of the above structure, when the sorting device is in use, it is only necessary to add a certain amount of bean seeds into the barrel. The vertical lifting of the top column driven by the chassis can lift the bean seeds up without the need for additional operating steps. The material taking mechanism can complete the clamping of the directional bean seeds on the top column for subsequent sampling work. In conjunction with the setting of the monitoring system, it is ensured that the direction of the taken bean seeds can accurately meet the subsequent sampling conditions. The overall structure is simpler, the sorting and sampling operations of the bean seeds can be easier to implement, and the debugging and maintenance work can also be more convenient.

[0015] The bean seed feeding and sorting device as described above is another core invention point of the present invention. Specifically speaking, the structure of the barrel includes a columnar barrel body and a barrel bottom rotatably arranged at its lower end, and the opening is arranged on the barrel bottom; the feeding system also includes a stirring driving machine connected to the chassis transmission, which is arranged to drive the chassis to rotate around the axis of the barrel body. On the basis of the above structure, the rotation of the chassis can drive the top column to rotate, and then drive the barrel bottom to rotate, which can have a better stirring effect on the bean seeds in the barrel body, prevent the nearby bean seeds from remaining in the same direction for a long time, and thereby improve the feeding efficiency.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the slide seat is provided with a rotating drive machine which is transmission-connected to the clamp, and is configured to drive the clamp to rotate around a horizontal axis. When the clamp is rotated to a downward position, the bean seeds can be clamped more accurately. When the clamp is completed, the clamp can drive the bean seeds to rotate to one side to ensure that the sampling work can be carried out on one side of the clamp, thereby preventing interference between the setting of the clamp and the sampling work.

[0017] As a further preference, in order to enable the clamping position to be more easily determined after the clamping jaw moves to the sampling position driven by the X-axis drive mechanism, the Y-axis drive mechanism and the slide seat and the clamping position after the rotary drive motor continues to rotate, the rotation axis of the clamping jaw driven by the rotary drive motor is parallel to the X-axis.

[0018] The bean seed loading and sorting device as described above, specifically speaking, includes a clamping cylinder and a mounting block that can be driven by the clamping cylinder to move closer to or away from each other, a clamping rod is provided on one side of the mounting block, and the bean seeds can be clamped by the clamping rod.

[0019] On the basis of the above structure, in order to prevent the setting of the mounting block and the clamping rod itself after clamping the bean seeds from affecting the subsequent sampling work of the bean seeds, the clamping rod is configured to include a connecting section connected to the mounting block at one end, an avoidance section is vertically provided at a section of the connecting section away from the mounting block, and a clamping section is vertically provided at a section of the avoidance section away from the connecting section; the clamping section is perpendicular to the connecting section, and the connecting sections and avoidance sections of the two clamping rods are respectively parallel, and the ends of the clamping sections of the two clamping rods away from the avoidance sections face each other.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate maintenance and replacement of the clamping rod, the clamping rod is detachably connected to the mounting block.

[0021] As a further preference, in order to make the clamping work of the clamping rod on the bean seeds more stable and prevent them from falling during the sampling process, a clamping groove is provided at one end of the clamping section of at least one clamping rod away from the avoidance section.

[0022] The bean seed loading and sorting device as described above is provided with a sink groove at the upper end of the top column to prevent the bean seeds lifted by the top column from falling off the top column when they are located at the top of the top column close to the edge of the top column, thereby ensuring that the top column can complete the lifting work of the bean seeds more smoothly and accurately, and at the same time ensuring that the bean seeds lifted by the top column can be stabilized at the upper end of the top column more quickly.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to prevent the bean seeds from being stuck between the upper ends of two adjacent top columns and to ensure that the lifted bean seeds can only exist at the top position of the top column, the minimum distance between two adjacent top columns is greater than the maximum width specification of the bean seeds to be loaded.

[0024] The present invention also provides a sorting method, based on the above-mentioned bean seed feeding and sorting device, the sorting device also includes a control system that is communicatively connected to the detection system, the feeding system and the material taking system. The sorting method specifically includes the following steps:

[0025] S1. Preparation;

[0027] S2, seed collection;

[0028] S2.1, the control system controls the chassis to rise, and lifts up the bean seeds through the top column;

[0029] S2.2, the acquisition camera works and sends the acquired images to the processor, which generates the position information of the bean varieties with the germ side facing upward and / or obliquely upward and the quantity information of the bean varieties with the germ side facing upward and / or obliquely upward according to the received image information, and sends the information to the control system;

[0030] S2.3, the control system completes the clamping and processing of the bean seeds one by one according to the received position information;

[0031] S2.4, the bottom plate is lowered until the top column is completely immersed in the bean seeds;

[0032] S3, cyclic seeding;

[0033] S3.1. The control system compares the received quantity information with the first threshold value, including at least the following results:

[0034] A: If the quantity information is greater than or equal to the first threshold, directly run steps S2.1-S2.4 once and generate new quantity information;

[0035] B: If the quantity information is less than the first threshold, the chassis is controlled to rotate by a preset angle, and steps S2.1-S2.4 are executed again to generate new quantity information;

[0036] S3.2. Repeat step S3.1.
