Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of moisture measurement, in particular to a moisture measuring instrument for seeds. Background Art

[0002] Seed moisture content is a key indicator of seed quality, closely related to seed maturity, optimal harvest timing, storage life, and seed weight. Excessive moisture content can lead to mildew during storage and premature germination upon sowing. Low moisture content can delay germination or result in a low germination rate upon sowing, making seed moisture testing crucial.

[0003] The moisture meter used for seeds in the prior art dries the seeds by blowing hot air onto the seeds. However, since the seeds are piled together, the seeds inside are not fully dried, which affects the measurement results of the seed moisture content and has low drying efficiency.

[0004] To this end, we proposed a moisture meter for seeds to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a moisture measuring instrument for seeds in view of the above-mentioned technical deficiencies.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A moisture measuring instrument for seeds, comprising:

[0008] A cover shell, the cover shell is formed by splicing multiple side panels and a bottom panel;

[0009] a measuring scale, the measuring scale being arranged on the bottom plate and located inside the housing;

[0010] A heating barrel, wherein a heating wire is wound within a wall surface of the heating barrel, and a switch electrically connected to the heating wire is provided outside the wall surface of the heating barrel; the heating barrel is rotatably disposed between the side plates, the heating barrel is located above the measuring scale, and the bottom plate of the heating barrel is provided with a plurality of first notches along a thickness direction;

[0011] A drying barrel, the drying barrel being rotatably disposed within the heating barrel;

[0012] a drive motor, the drive motor being arranged at the bottom plate of the heating barrel and located outside the heating barrel, the drive motor being used to drive the drying barrel to rotate within the heating barrel;

[0013] A baffle is rotatably arranged on the bottom plate of the heating barrel, the baffle is located outside the heating barrel, and the baffle is located between the drive motor and the bottom plate. The baffle is rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor, and the baffle is provided with multiple second notches along the thickness direction.

[0014] To further optimize the technical solution, a rotating handle is provided on the side wall of the baffle.

[0017] To further optimize the technical solution, the area of ​​the adjacent second gap is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the first gap.

[0018] To further optimize the technical solution, the first notch and the second notch are both fan-shaped.

[0019] Compared to existing technologies, the present invention offers the following advantages: The aforementioned structural design allows for dynamic seed drying via the rotating drying barrel, thus avoiding the problem of inadequate drying caused by seed accumulation. Furthermore, by arranging the heating barrel and drying barrel in a rotatable configuration, after the seeds are dried, the bottom of the drying barrel can be turned toward the measuring scale, allowing discharge through the notch in the bottom of the drying barrel.

[0039] To further optimize the technical solution, the area of ​​the adjacent second notches 620 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the first notches 320 .

[0040] To further optimize the technical solution, both the first notch 320 and the second notch 620 are fan-shaped.

[0041] The present invention discloses a moisture meter for seeds. Figures 1-4 As shown, the moisture meter for seeds includes a housing 100 having side panels 110 and a bottom panel 120. A measuring scale 200 is disposed inside the housing 100 and is disposed on the bottom panel 120 of the housing 100. In one embodiment, the measuring scale 200 includes a placement tray 210 and a scale body, and the scale body can be used to measure the weight of seeds placed on the placement tray 210.

[0042] The side panels 110 of the housing 100 are further provided with a heating barrel 300, wherein the heating barrel 300 is rotatably disposed between the two side panels 110 of the housing 100, and the heating barrel 300 is located above the measuring scale 2. In one embodiment, the heating barrel 300 is designed as a cylindrical structure, and the bottom plate 120 of the heating barrel 300 is provided with a plurality of first notches 320. A drying barrel 400 is further rotatably disposed inside the heating barrel 300, and the drying barrel 400 can rotate inside the heating barrel 300. The bottom plate 120 of the drying barrel 400 is also provided with a plurality of first notches 320. In addition, the top of the drying barrel 400 has an opening 800, through which seeds to be dried can be poured into the drying barrel 400.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the drive motor 500 is disposed on the bottom plate of the heating barrel 300. The drive motor 500 is located outside the heating barrel 300. The drive shaft of the drive motor 500 passes through the bottom plate of the heating barrel 300 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drying barrel 400. Therefore, the drive motor 500 can drive the drying barrel 400 to rotate within the heating barrel 300. The baffle 600 is rotatably disposed on the bottom plate of the heating barrel 300. Specifically, the bottom plate of the heating barrel 300 is provided with a rotating shaft 330, and the rotating shaft 330 has a first rotating hole 331 along its axis. The baffle 600 is provided with a second rotating hole 630 that is compatible with the rotating shaft 330. The baffle 600 can rotate relative to the heating barrel 300 through the second rotating hole 630.

[0044] At the same time, the baffle 600 is located between the drive motor 500 and the heating barrel 300. The drive shaft of the drive motor 500 passes through the first rotary hole 331 and the second rotary hole 630 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drying barrel 300. In addition, the outer diameter of the drive shaft of the drive motor 500 is larger than the first rotary hole 331 and the second rotary hole 630.

[0045] In actual use, when the baffle 600 rotates, if the second notch 620 overlaps with the first notch 320 of the drying barrel 4 and the heating barrel 300, the dried seeds will fall out of the drying barrel 400 through the first notch 320. Conversely, when the baffle 600 rotates to a position where the second notch 620 does not overlap with the first notch 320 of the drying barrel 400 and the heating barrel 300, the dried seeds in the drying barrel 400 will not fall out. In one embodiment, to facilitate the rotation of the baffle 600, a rotating handle 610 is provided on the side wall of the baffle 600.

[0046] In one embodiment, the side panel 110 of the housing 100 is provided with a rotation drive device 700, which can drive the heating barrel 300 and the drying barrel 400 to rotate simultaneously. After the seeds are dehydrated in the drying barrel 400, the rotation drive device 700 can be activated to control the rotation of the heating barrel 300 and the drying barrel 400. When the bottom plate 120 of the drying barrel 400 rotates to directly above the measuring scale 200, the baffle 600 can be rotated to make the first notch 320 overlap with the second notch 620, so that the dehydrated seeds can fall through the first notch 320 and the second notch 620 and onto the measuring scale 200.

[0047] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
