Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of screening and storage equipment for forest tree seeds, and particularly relates to a screening and storage device for forest tree seeds. Background Technique
[0002] Forest tree seeds are reproductive organs formed by the development of ovules inside fruits. Due to the relatively complex internal structure of fruits, many problems will be encountered in the processing of forest tree seeds. The so-called processing of forest tree seeds mainly aims to ensure the seed quality, that is, the forest tree seedlings cultivated from the seeds can grow healthily and normally. To improve forestry production, when processing forest tree seeds, every effort should be made to shorten the seed dormancy period and improve the defects in the storage process. If the seed dormancy period is too long, it is not conducive to promoting the process of forestry production. Seed dormancy means that even if the storage place of the seeds has sufficient oxygen and suitable temperature, etc., the seeds cannot germinate into seedlings due to being in the dormant period. During the seed dormancy period, its life activities are in a suspended state. Dormant seeds have a high degree of adaptability to the external environment, whether it is the oxygen concentration, air humidity, weather temperature, or soil fertility. Therefore, the seeds cannot respond to the stimuli of the external environment, and thus it is called the dormant period.
[0003] The formation of seed dormancy is as follows: Firstly, there is a special substance inside the seeds that can inhibit cell division and development in the seeds. This is a chemical substance that has an inhibitory effect on the seeds. Because of its existence, it successfully inhibits the seeds from responding to the external environment, thereby delaying the germination time of the seeds. Secondly, when processing forest tree seeds, it is necessary to separate the seeds from their mother plants. Seeds have life. Although it is considered to separate the seeds when they are mature during the separation from the mother plants, this maturity is only manifested in morphology, and physiologically, they do not have certain germination conditions. Therefore, they need to carry out dormancy to cultivate their own germination ability, which is the so-called after-ripening process of the seeds. This process must have the seeds in dormancy to achieve the purpose. Thirdly, during the separation process of the seeds from the mother plants, it cannot be guaranteed that every seed is mature. Some seeds have not completed the complete tissue division, differentiation, and growth necessary for seed maturity during the separation, resulting in immature embryos. The seeds also need to go through dormancy to complete the maturity of the embryos. Through the dormancy period, tissue division, differentiation, and growth are carried out to achieve complete development, so as to become mature seeds.
[0004] The safe storage methods of forest tree seeds include common dry storage methods, sealed dry storage methods, moisture preservation storage methods, etc.; the harvested seeds include a mixture formed by mature seeds and immature seeds. Before volatilizing moisture during the short-term storage of mature seeds, the mature seeds should be screened out from the mixture; the air-flow gravity screening method is a common method for screening out immature seeds from mature seeds; and the more uniform and thinner the thickness of the seeds laid flat in the screening trough, the better the screening effect. The main reason is that it reduces the interaction force between seeds and improves the effect of the screening air flow. In the prior art, if the inner cavity of the screening trough is long enough, the above technical purpose can be achieved. However, if the screening trough is too long, it will cause the equipment to be too large. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the seed screening stage of the prior art, so as to control the flow rate of forest tree seeds transported to the screening trough and the dispersion degree of forest tree seeds entering the inner cavity of the screening trough, thereby reducing the time required for the forest tree seeds to be fully dispersed in the screening trough, reducing the length of the screening trough required for the forest tree seeds to be evenly dispersed, and indirectly reducing the total length of the screening trough.

The included angle between the central axis of the vibration motor 10 and the central axis of the screening groove 2 is 30 degrees to 40 degrees.
[0021] Since mature seeds contain a large amount of moisture inside, excessive moisture can easily cause the seeds to continue to develop and reduce the seed survival rate. Therefore, for such seeds, they need to be placed in a dry place for short-term storage to allow the excess moisture contained in them to fully evaporate for long-term storage. Thus, a guiding groove 13 is provided at one end of the screening groove 2 of the present product away from the first feed pipe 4. The width of the guiding groove 13 gradually decreases as the height of the guiding groove 13 decreases. The inlet end of a guiding hopper 14 is provided below the outlet end of the guiding groove 13. The inner cavity of the inlet end of the guiding hopper 14 adopts a cylindrical structure, and the diameter of the inner cavity of the inlet end of the guiding hopper 14 is not less than the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the inner cavity of the guiding groove 13.

[0024] The bottom of the air outlet pipe 17 is installed on the top of the receiving barrel 15. The diameter of the bottom of the inner cavity of the air outlet pipe 17 gradually decreases as the height of the air outlet pipe 17 decreases. A joint 26 is provided on the top of the air outlet pipe 17. A second air guiding pipe 27 is provided on the joint 26. The second air guiding pipe 27 is threadedly connected to the joint 26; the second air guiding pipe 27 is sequentially provided with a pressure sensor 28, a humidity sensor 29, a first regulating valve 30, and an air compressor 31 along the direction from close to the joint 26 to away from the joint 26. Installing the pressure sensor 28 facilitates feedback of the pressure parameters of the receiving barrel 15; installing the humidity sensor 29 facilitates feedback of the humidity parameters of the air flow discharged from the air outlet pipe 17.
[0025] The inlet end of a second regulating valve 32 is provided at the gas-phase outlet end of the bag filter 12. A fan 33 is provided at the outlet end of the second regulating valve 32. A second star airtight feeder 34 is provided at the solid-phase outlet end of the bag filter 12. Driving motors 35 are respectively and transmission-connected to the first star airtight feeder 7 and the second star airtight feeder 34. A support 36 is provided on the receiving barrel 15, and universal wheels 37 are provided at the bottom of the support 36.
[0026] The usage method of this product is as follows: As Figures 1 to 3 shown, first, continuously convey the collected forest tree seeds into the feed hopper 6, and adjust the output power of the driving motor 35 transmission-connected to the first star airtight feeder 7. The forest tree seeds in the feed hopper 6 are conveyed by the first star airtight feeder 7 and then enter into a plurality of the material guiding cavities in the first feed pipe 4 and then are conveyed to the screening tank 2; then, start the vibration motor 10 and the fan 33. The vibration motor 10 drives the convex block 9 to vibrate, thereby driving the screening tank 2 to vibrate, and then driving the forest tree seeds entering the screening tank 2 to move towards the guiding groove 13. During this period, air flows from the first air guiding pipe 11 close to the screening tank 2 into the bag filter 12, and at the same time drives the forest tree seeds with insufficient grains to enter the first air guiding pipe 11 along with the air flow, so as to realize the separation of mature forest tree seeds and immature forest tree seeds.

[0027] When the screening of a batch of forest tree seeds is completed and the mature seeds are temporarily stored in the receiving barrel 15, it is necessary to turn on the air compressor 31 and the stirring motor 21. The outside air is filtered by the air filter 18 and then enters the inner cavity of the receiving barrel 15 above the forest tree seeds through the air inlet pipe 16 to form a replacement air flow. The replacement air flow enters the receiving barrel 15 above the seeds and then is discharged after the pressure sensor 28 feeds back the pressure parameter and the humidity sensor 29 feeds back the humidity parameter. During this period, the stirring motor 21 drives the stirring shaft 19 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring blades 20 to move synchronously. Under the action of the rib strips 25, the forest tree seeds in the receiving barrel 15 are continuously stirred. The free water contained in the forest tree seeds continuously volatilizes to form water vapor. The water vapor is mixed with the air in the receiving barrel 15 above the forest tree seeds and is discharged together with the replacement air flow through the air outlet pipe 17 and the second air guiding pipe 27. During this period, the pressure sensor 28 feeds back the pressure parameter and the humidity sensor 29 feeds back the humidity parameter. When the equipment runs to the preset time and the humidity sensor 29 feeds back that the humidity parameter reaches the preset range, the forest tree seeds in the inner cavity of the receiving barrel 15 have been fully dried. Open the flap butterfly valve 24 on the discharge pipe 23, and discharge the forest tree seeds that have been dried from the receiving barrel 15, and then store them by the seed storage device.
[0028] In this embodiment, the forest tree seeds conveyed through the first star air lock 7 are evenly conveyed onto the screening tank 2 through a number of the material guiding cavities in the first feed pipe 4, reducing the length of the screening tank 2 required for the forest tree seeds to be completely dispersed in the screening tank 2; and furthermore, this product can fully replace the water vapor released by the free water contained in the forest tree seeds with air, thereby promoting the drying of the forest tree seeds to meet the market demand.
