Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine seed mutation, and particularly to a device and method for accelerating the mutation of traditional Chinese medicine seeds by using ionizing radiation. Background Art

[0002] Ionizing radiation refers to radiation carrying energy sufficient to free electrons in atoms or molecules of a substance, thereby causing ionization of these atoms or molecules. Ionizing radiation has a wavelength less than 100 nm and includes cosmic rays, X-rays, and radiation from radioactive substances. The methods for traditional Chinese medicine seed mutation mainly involve the basic principles of plant genetic variation and the application of mutation techniques in the development of traditional Chinese medicine plant resources. Through natural factors or artificial induction, gene mutations occur in traditional Chinese medicine plant seeds, thereby generating new genetic variants. These variants may exhibit significant differences in morphology, physiological characteristics, medicinal components, and stress resistance, etc., providing an important technical approach for the breeding, improvement, and industrialization of traditional Chinese medicine resources. Ionizing radiation is commonly used to accelerate the mutation of traditional Chinese medicine seeds, and high-energy radiations such as ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and γ-rays are used to treat the seeds to induce gene mutations or chromosomal aberrations.

[0003] The prior art has defects: The loading and unloading of traditional Chinese medicine seeds are generally completed manually, which is cumbersome to operate, and ionizing radiation can cause certain harm to the human body; when ionizing radiation is performed on traditional Chinese medicine seeds, the rays cannot irradiate the back area of the traditional Chinese medicine seeds, and some seeds may also be stacked together, resulting in inconsistent irradiation intensity for each seed, affecting the effect of traditional Chinese medicine seed mutation; most of the existing solutions only irradiate the seeds once, with a low seed mutation rate and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device and method for accelerating the mutation of traditional Chinese medicine seeds by using ionizing radiation, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The device for seed mutation includes a protective shell. A bracket is installed at the bottom of the protective shell. A through groove is provided on one side of the protective shell. A feeding device is installed in the through groove. A lifting cover is installed on the protective shell. Guide blocks are installed on the inner wall of the protective shell. The lifting cover slides in the guide blocks. A rotating device is installed inside the protective shell. A discharge box is installed on the outer wall of the protective shell. A discharge pipe is connected to one side of the discharge box. The discharge pipe contacts the lifting cover. A discharge port adapted to the discharge pipe is provided on the lifting cover. A ventilation device is installed on the protective shell. One end of the ventilation device is installed on the lifting cover. During operation, an operator puts traditional Chinese medicine seeds into the feeding device. The control system controls the lifting cover to rise, driving the feeding device to feed the rotating device. After feeding is completed, the control system controls the rotating device to rotate. When the rotated device after feeding reaches the mutation position, the control system controls the lifting cover to descend. When the lifting cover covers the rotating device, the traditional Chinese medicine seeds in the rotating device are irradiated. After irradiation is completed, the control system controls the lifting cover to rise, and at the same time the rotating device rotates. When the irradiated seeds reach the discharge box, the control system controls the ventilation device to cool the irradiated traditional Chinese medicine seeds. After the seeds are irradiated for the second time, the control system controls the ventilation device to blow the traditional Chinese medicine seeds into the discharge box.

When feeding is required, the control system controls the lifting cover to rise. The lifting cover drives the baffle to rise. The baffle drives the sliding rod to slide upward in the sliding groove. The spring is compressed. When the baffle moves out of the bottleneck of the storage chamber, the traditional Chinese medicine seeds in the storage chamber fall from the bottle mouth of the storage chamber into the rotating device. After feeding for a period of time, the control system controls the lifting cover to descend. The spring stretches. The spring drives the baffle to move downward.

The electric turntable is connected to the control system. During operation, the control system controls the electric turntable to rotate, each time rotating 45°. After the Chinese medicine seeds are fed at the feeding position, they rotate to the shaking position.

[0093] The working principle of the present invention:

[0094] During operation, an operator puts Chinese medicine seeds into the storage chamber 202 through the feeding port 201. The control system controls the motor 301 to rotate. The motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate. The lead screw 302 drives the cover 303 to slide upward. The cover 303 drives the support block 309 in the guide cylinder 306 to move upward. The support block 309 drives the ejector pin 310 to move upward. The ejector pin 310 drives the baffle 205 to rise. The baffle 205 drives the sliding rod 204 to slide upward in the sliding groove, compressing the spring. When the baffle 205 moves out of the bottleneck of the storage chamber 202, the Chinese medicine seeds in the storage chamber 202 fall from the bottle mouth of the storage chamber 202 to the feeding position 608. After feeding for a period of time, the control system controls the motor 301 to reverse. The motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to reverse. The lead screw 302 drives the cover 303 to slide downward, stretching the spring. The spring drives the baffle 205 to move downward. The baffle 205 drives the sliding rod 204 to slide downward in the sliding groove. When the baffle 205 moves to the bottleneck, the motor 301 is controlled to stop rotating, completing the feeding.

[0095] After the feeding is completed, the control system controls the electric turntable 601 to rotate, each time rotating 45°. After the Chinese medicine seeds are fed at the feeding position 608, the electric turntable 601 rotates the seeds to the jitter position 607. The control system controls the motor 301 to rotate, causing the cover 303 to move upward to feed the empty mutation chamber. The semi-circular block 609 pushes the movable plate 6032 at the jitter position 607 upward. The movable plate 6032 drives the return spring above the movable plate 6032 to compress, and drives the return spring below the movable plate 6032 to stretch. When the movable plate 6032 leaves the jitter position 607, the return spring above the movable plate 6032 stretches, and the return spring below the movable plate 6032 compresses. The return springs above and below the movable plate 6032 drive the movable plate 6032 to slide up and down between the large mounting plate 6031 and the small mounting plate 6033, shaking the stacked Chinese medicine seeds on the movable plate 6032 apart.

[0096] After the jittering is completed, the electric turntable 601 rotates the seeds to the mutation position 606. The control system controls the motor 301 to rotate. The motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate. The lead screw 302 drives the cover 303 to slide downward. When it slides to cover the partition 604, the protective cover 307 will enclose the mutation position 606, and the ionization ray emitter 308 is controlled to start to irradiate the Chinese medicine seeds at the mutation position 606.

[0097] After the irradiation ends, the control system controls the motor 301 to rotate. The motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate, and the lead screw 302 drives the cover 303 to slide upward, so that the protective cover 307 leaves the mutation position 606. The control system controls the electric turntable 601 to rotate the seeds to the discharging position 610. The control system controls the motor 301 to reverse. The motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to reverse, and the lead screw 302 drives the cover 303 to slide downward. When it slides to cover the partition plate 604, the control system controls the fan 401 to start. The fan 401 blows a small amount of air, and the air enters the discharging position 610 through the ventilation holes on the ventilation plate 605 from the ventilation pipe 403 to cool the Chinese medicine seeds in the discharging position 610 and prevent the high temperature from killing the Chinese medicine seeds.

[0098] When the cooling ends and the electric turntable 601 rotates the seeds to the feeding position 608, the control system controls the motor 301 to rotate. The motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate, and the lead screw 302 drives the cover 303 to slide upward. When the protective cover 307 below the cover 303 moves out of the mutation position 606, the motor 301 is controlled to stop to prevent continuous feeding to the feeding position 608. When the electric turntable 601 rotates the seeds to the shaking position 607 for the second time, the semi-circular block 609 pushes the movable plate 6032 at the shaking position 607 to move upward. The return springs above and below the movable plate 6032 drive the movable plate 6032 to slide up and down between the large mounting plate 6031 and the small mounting plate 6033 to shake open the seeds stacked together due to centrifugal force. After the shaking ends, the electric turntable 601 rotates the seeds to the mutation position 606. The control system controls the motor 301 to rotate. The motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate, and the lead screw 302 drives the cover 303 to slide downward. When it slides above the partition plate 604, the protective cover 307 closes the mutation position 606, and the control system controls the ionization ray emitter 308 to start to irradiate the Chinese medicine seeds at the mutation position 606.

[0099] When the second irradiation ends, the control system controls the motor 301 to rotate. The motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate, and the lead screw 302 drives the cover 303 to slide upward, so that the protective cover 307 leaves the mutation position 606. The control system controls the electric turntable 601 to rotate the seeds to the discharging position 610. The control system controls the motor 301 to reverse. The motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to reverse, and the lead screw 302 drives the cover 303 to slide downward. When it slides to cover the partition plate 604, the control system controls the fan 401 to start. The fan 401 blows a large amount of air, and the air enters the discharging position 610 through the ventilation holes on the ventilation plate 605 from the ventilation pipe 403 to blow the Chinese medicine seeds into the discharging box 5 to complete the discharging.
