[0030] A grain discharging paddle 14 is rotatably mounted in the grain discharging channel 12, and is used to divide the entire grain discharging channel 12 into two grain discharging channels 12 with different calibers, that is, the grain discharging channel 12 is rotated to one side, so that one side of the grain discharging channel 12 is larger than the other side, and the position of the grain discharging paddle 14 can be adjusted as needed;

[0031] A material receiving box 1 is arranged at the output end of the grain outlet hopper 16 and is used for receiving grains output from different grain outlet channels 12 .

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rotating shaft 15 is provided at one end of the grain discharging paddle 14, and the grain discharging paddle 14 is rotatably installed in the grain discharging channel 12 via the rotating shaft 15. The grain discharging paddle 14 can be adjusted by manual drive and can be rotated to a desired rotation.
