[0024] The specific implementation of the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] See also Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent yield measurement equipment for corn plot breeding disclosed in this embodiment includes: a sorting and separating machine 1, an appearance data acquisition machine 2, a thresher 3, an elevator 4 and a measuring instrument 5. The sorting and separating machine 1 is used to arrange corn ears in order, and the outlet of the sorting and separating machine 1 is connected to one end of the appearance data acquisition machine 2, and the other end of the appearance data acquisition machine 2 is connected to the entrance of the thresher 3. The appearance data acquisition machine 2 is used to send the arranged corn ears into the thresher 3 in sequence, and take a picture of each corn ear before sending it to the thresher 3. The outlet of the thresher 3 is connected to one end of the elevator 4, and the other end of the elevator 4 is connected to the measuring instrument 5. The elevator 4 is used to send the corn kernels at the outlet of the thresher 3 into the measuring instrument 5.

[0026] All corn ears in a plot are placed into a sorting and separating machine 1, which arranges the corn ears into a row and sends them to an appearance data acquisition machine 2. After the appearance data acquisition machine 2 collects the appearance data of the corn ears, they are sent to a thresher 3 for threshing. The corn kernels are then sent to a measuring instrument 5 through an elevator 4 to detect the moisture content and quality of the corn kernels, thereby obtaining the appearance data, moisture content and total mass of all corn ears in a plot, and completing the yield measurement work of corn plot breeding conveniently and quickly.

[0027] Specifically, combined Figure 2 As shown, the sorting separator 1 includes: a separation frame 1-1, an electric control cabinet 1-2, a separation disc 1-3, a separation disc drive motor 1-4 and a sorting separation baffle 1-5. The separation frame 1-1 is provided with an electric control cabinet 1-2, and a separation disc 1-3 is rotatably provided on the top of the separation frame 1-1. The separation disc 1-3 is connected to the separation disc drive motor 1-4, and a circle of sorting separation baffles 1-5 is provided on the outside of the separation disc 1-3.

[0028] The electric control cabinet 1-2 controls the separation disk drive motor 1-4 to rotate, causing the separation disk 1-3 to rotate. Since the separation disk 1-3 is conical, as the separation disk 1-3 rotates, the corn ears slide to the edge of the separation disk 1-3. The corn ears rotate under the obstruction of the sorting and separation baffle 1-5 and the drive of the separation disk 1-3, and are sequentially sent to the shape data acquisition machine 2 from the opening of the sorting and separation baffle 1-5.

[0029] Specifically, combined Figure 3 As shown, the shape data acquisition machine 2 includes: an acquisition frame 2-1, a conveyor belt 2-2, a sensor 2-3, a camera bracket 2-4 and a camera 2-5. The conveyor belt 2-2 is arranged on the top of the acquisition frame 2-1, the sensor 2-3 is arranged above the conveyor belt 2-2, the camera bracket 2-4 is arranged on the rear side of the sensor 2-3, and the camera 2-5 is arranged on the camera bracket 2-4.

[0030] The conveyor belt 2-2 drives the corn ears arranged in a row to move. The sensor 2-3 is a proximity switch. When the corn ears pass through the sensor 2-3, the sensor 2-3 detects the corn ears, and the camera 2-5 takes a picture of the corn ears to obtain the shape data of the corn ears.

[0031] Specifically, combined Figure 3 As shown, the threshing machine 3 includes: a threshing frame 3-1, a threshing component 3-2, an air separation component 3-3 and a vibrating screen 3-4. The threshing component 3-2 is provided on the threshing frame 3-1, the air separation component 3-3 is provided on the side of the threshing component 3-2, and the vibrating screen 3-4 is provided at the bottom of the threshing component 3-2.

[0032] The shape data collector 2 sends the corn ears to the threshing component 3-2 for threshing, and at the same time the air separation component 3-3 separates the debris. The separated corn kernels fall into the vibrating screen 3-4 to separate the debris again. After the debris is separated twice, the corn kernels fall from the vibrating screen 3-4 into the elevator 4.

[0033] Specifically, combined Figure 5 As shown, the elevator 4 includes: an elevator frame 4-1, a conveying belt 4-2 and a belt motor 4-3. The elevator frame 4-1 is provided with a conveying belt 4-2, and the conveying belt 4-2 is connected to the belt motor 4-3.

[0034] The conveyor belt 4 - 2 is driven by the belt motor 4 - 3 to rotate, and the corn kernels are lifted to a higher height and then sent to the measuring instrument 5 .

[0035] Specifically, combined Figure 6 As shown, the measuring instrument 5 includes: a measuring frame 5-1, a measuring container 5-2, a mass sensor 5-3 and a moisture sensor 5-4. The measuring container 5-2 is arranged on the top of the measuring frame 5-1, the mass sensor 5-3 is arranged on the bottom of the measuring container 5-2, and the moisture sensor 5-4 is arranged inside the measuring container 5-2.

[0036] After all the corn kernels in one plot are placed into the measuring container 5-2, the mass sensor 5-3 obtains the weight of all the kernels, and the moisture sensor 5-4 measures the moisture content of the kernels.

[0037] Specifically, it also includes: a control system 6, which is electrically connected to the sorting and separating machine 1, the shape data acquisition machine 2, the thresher 3, the elevator 4 and the measuring instrument 5.

[0038] The software in the control system 6 analyzes the stored photos, measures the outer dimensions (length, diameter) of the corn ears, and splices all the corn ear pictures of a community into a large picture, which makes it convenient for breeders to compare the corn ears. The software processes the moisture and quality data and saves them. The photos, moisture and quality data in a community are saved in a folder. The control system 6 controls the switch operation of all devices through software. All device power supplies are all connected to the electric control cabinet 1-2, and the control system 6 is connected to control all devices through the electric control cabinet 1-2. The QR code corresponding to each community is scanned and recorded by the control system 6. All information (photos, moisture, quality) of the corn ears of the corresponding community can be found in the software through the QR code.

[0039] The working process of this device is:

[0040] A plot typically contains 40-50 corn ears. These are placed in the separation tray 1-3 of the sorting and separation machine 1. The sorting and separation machine 1 then arranges the corn ears longitudinally in a single row. The ears then pass through the outlet and onto the conveyor belt 2-2 inside the shape data acquisition machine 2. The corn ears that pass through the outlet of the sorting and separation machine 1 and enter the conveyor belt 2-2 are driven forward by the rotation of the conveyor belt 2-2. When an ear passes the position of the sensor 2-3, the sensor 2-3 detects the corn ear and sends a signal to the camera 2-5. The camera 2-5 receives the signal and takes a photo of the entire ear. The photo is saved to a computer. The photographed corn ears then enter the thresher 3. Inside the thresher 3, the corn ears are threshed by the threshing unit 3-2. The corn kernels are then cleaned and removed by the air separation unit 3-3 and the vibrating screen 3-4. The cleaned corn kernels pass through the outlet of the vibrating screen 3-4 and enter the elevator 4. The kernels at the outlet of the thresher 3 are transported to the measuring instrument 5. After the corn kernels have passed through the elevator 4, all of them finally enter the measuring instrument 5. After the measuring instrument 5 determines that no more kernels have entered, it starts to measure the moisture and quality of the kernels. The measured results are stored in the control computer.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit thereof, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
