AI Technical Summary
Existing vibrating screens can only perform primary screening and cannot effectively separate seeds of different sizes, resulting in poor screening performance.
A sorting device for processing zucchini and pumpkin seeds was designed, comprising a three-stage screening system consisting of a first sieve plate, a second sieve plate, and a third sieve plate. Multi-stage screening is achieved through different mesh sizes and vibration of a vibrator to remove large and small impurities and to distinguish seeds of different sizes.
This method enables three-stage screening of pumpkin seeds, effectively removing impurities, distinguishing between superior and inferior seeds, and improving screening results and seed quality.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed processing technology, specifically a sorting device for processing zucchini and pumpkin seeds. Background Technology
[0002] To improve quality and yield, seeds need to be sorted to remove impurities such as straw, leaves, and sand mixed in. At the same time, some seeds are too small or even shriveled. Due to their low saturation, the survival rate after planting is low. Only those high-quality pumpkin seeds with fuller grains have higher planting value, higher germination rate, and are more likely to grow healthily.
[0003] A search revealed that CN220836580U provides a seed vibrating screening machine. This invention enables the screening plate in the screening chamber to perform vibration screening by rotating at one end, thereby increasing the vibration amplitude of the screening plate. By controlling the angle of rotation at one end of the screening plate, the vibration amplitude of the screening plate can be adjusted to meet the vibration amplitude requirements under different conditions.
[0004] However, vibrating screeners can only perform one-stage screening of seeds. After one round of screening, seeds of different sizes are still mixed together, making it impossible to separate them into superior and inferior varieties, resulting in an unsatisfactory screening effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the existing problems, this utility model provides a sorting device for processing zucchini and pumpkin seeds, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a sorting device for processing zucchini and pumpkin seeds, comprising a housing, an inlet hopper on one side of the upper end of the housing, a support frame at the bottom of the housing, and three pairs of sieve plate insertion holes on both sides of the housing from top to bottom. A first sieve plate is inserted into the uppermost pair of sieve plate insertion holes, a second sieve plate is inserted into the middle pair of sieve plate insertion holes, and a third sieve plate is inserted into the lower pair of sieve plate insertion holes. A first discharge plate is located below the second sieve plate, a second discharge plate is located below the third sieve plate, and a third discharge plate is located below the second discharge plate. A vibrator is installed at the bottom of the housing.
[0007] Furthermore, the bracket includes a connecting piece connected to the side of the housing, the lower end of the connecting piece being connected to one end of a spring, the other end of the spring being connected to a fixing member, and the lower end of the fixing member being connected to a base frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the first screen plate includes a guide plate fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the housing, and a first screen mesh is disposed on one side of the guide plate with a screen plate insertion hole. A first baffle is disposed at one end of the first screen mesh, and a plurality of first spring blocks are disposed at the other end. The second screen plate includes a second screen mesh disposed on one end of the screen plate insertion hole, and a second baffle is disposed at one end of the second screen mesh, and a plurality of second spring blocks are disposed at the other end. The third screen plate includes a third screen mesh disposed on one end of the screen plate insertion hole, and a third baffle is disposed at one end of the third screen mesh, and a plurality of third spring blocks are disposed at the other end.
[0009] Furthermore, the first, second, and third spring blocks abut against the outer wall of the housing; the first, second, and third baffles abut against the outer wall of the housing.
[0010] Furthermore, a first waste outlet is provided at the end of the first screen plate away from the feed hopper, and a second waste outlet is provided at the end of the first discharge plate away from the feed hopper.
[0011] Furthermore, the second discharge plate is provided with a first discharge port at the end near the feed hopper, and the third discharge plate is provided with a second discharge port at the end near the feed hopper.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0013] 1. This utility model can perform three-stage screening of pumpkin seeds through a first sieve plate, a second sieve plate, and a third sieve plate. The first two stages of screening remove large-volume impurities and small-volume impurities, respectively. Larger impurities are discharged from the first waste outlet, and smaller impurities are discharged from the second waste outlet. The third stage of screening separates pumpkin seeds of different sizes. Smaller pumpkin seeds are discharged from the first discharge outlet, and larger pumpkin seeds are discharged from the second discharge outlet. This facilitates the differentiation of the quality of pumpkin seeds and improves the screening effect.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, the sieve plate is detachable. By inserting the sieve plate into the sieve plate insertion hole, one end is fixed by a pop-out spring block, and the other end is fixed by a baffle, which realizes the detachability of each level of sieve plate and facilitates the replacement and washing of the sieve plate.

The seeds larger than the mesh size will slide down the edge of the second screen plate 5 onto the third screen plate 6. On the third screen plate 6, the seeds will be sorted according to their size. The smaller seeds will fall from the mesh size of the third screen 601 to the second discharge plate 8 and be discharged from the first discharge outlet 12, and the larger seeds will fall down the edge of the third screen plate 6 to the third discharge plate 9 and be discharged from the second discharge outlet 13, thus completing the sorting of the seeds.
[0034] When it is necessary to replace the sieve plate, taking the first sieve plate 4 as an example, press down the first spring block 403 on one side of the first sieve 401, and then pull out the first sieve plate 4 from the other side through the first baffle 402. The sieve plate can then be taken out for cleaning. After cleaning, put the first sieve plate 4 back into the sieve plate insertion hole 15. After it reaches the fixed position, the first spring block 403 pops up and fixes the first sieve plate 4 in the sieve plate insertion hole 15.
