[0024] Example 2:
[0025] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the small seed sorting device of this embodiment includes a sorting mechanism 1, an air supply mechanism 2, and an adjusting bracket 3, wherein:
[0026] The sorting mechanism 1 includes a sorting box 11, with an air inlet and an air outlet at both ends of the sorting box 11. A hopper 12 is provided at the top of the sorting box 11, and a baffle valve 13 is provided at the bottom of the hopper 12.

The upper ends of the fixed support rod 31 and the telescopic adjusting rod 33 are respectively connected to the two sides of the sorting box 11 by mounting pins 34.
[0029] Both the adjusting support rod 32 and the telescopic adjusting rod 33 are provided with adjusting holes 35, and adjusting pins 36 are installed in the adjusting holes 35.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, seeds are added to the hopper 12, the blower 24 is started, and the slide valve 13 is pulled to open the bottom discharge port, allowing the seeds to fall into the sorting box 11. Higher-quality seeds, being heavier, fall through the seed outlet 14 into the seed collection box under the influence of the blower and gravity. Impurities and chaff, being lighter, flow out from the air outlet of the sorting box 11 under the blowing action of the blower 24. Furthermore, a waste collection mechanism 4 is provided. Air flows out from the filter screen 42 on the upper side of the waste discharge trough 41, while impurities and chaff fall into the waste collection box 43. The waste collection box 43 is connected to the lower end of the waste discharge trough 41 via lugs 44 and connecting pins 45, ensuring a seal between the two and facilitating the cleaning of impurities. Secondly, the seed discharge speed can be controlled by adjusting the opening and closing of the gate valve 13, and the speed of the fan 24 can be controlled by the frequency converter 25, thereby adjusting the wind speed to suit the screening of different types of seeds. That is, for heavier seeds, a higher wind speed can be controlled to prevent chaff from falling into the seed collection box 17, and for lighter seeds, a lower wind speed can be controlled to prevent high-quality seeds from flowing into the impurity collection box 43. In addition, an adjusting bracket 3 is provided to adjust the tilt of the sorting box 11, so that all high-quality seeds fall into the seed collection box 17.
