Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of seed sorting, and specifically relates to a rocker arm type seed sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Seed sorting is a crucial step in the preparation stage of agricultural production, directly affecting crop yield and quality. High-quality seeds should be plump, undamaged, and free of impurities to ensure germination rate and vigor after sowing. However, in practice, raw seeds harvested from the field often contain various impurities such as fine sand, gravel, and soil. These impurities not only affect seed purity but may also carry pests and diseases, adversely affecting subsequent planting. Therefore, effective seed sorting and impurity removal before sowing is fundamental to achieving efficient and high-quality agricultural production.

[0003] Traditional seed sorting methods mainly rely on manual operation, with the most common method being the use of hand-cranked sieves. While this method is simple and direct, hand-cranked sieves are inefficient and require a large amount of manpower, especially when processing large quantities of seeds, resulting in high labor intensity.

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of manual sieving, mechanized sorting technologies have been gradually developed in recent years. Among them, seed sorting machines based on the principle of wind-driven sorting have become a popular solution. These devices are typically designed with a hopper and a built-in fan. During operation, seeds fall from the hopper into the sorting area, and the airflow generated by the fan blows the seeds. Due to the weight difference between seeds and impurities (especially light substances such as dust), lighter impurities are easily carried away by the airflow, while heavier seeds continue to fall, thus achieving a certain degree of separation. Although this method improves sorting efficiency and reduces reliance on manual labor to some extent, its application still faces challenges. In particular, a single sorting operation often fails to achieve the ideal purity, requiring multiple cycles, which increases energy consumption and time costs. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following will be combined with the appendix Figures 1-8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a rocker arm type seed sorting device includes a base 1, with a rocker arm 12 movably connected to the upper part of the base 1. Several telescopic devices 11 are pivotally connected to one side of the base 1, and the other end of each telescopic device 11 is pivotally connected to the lower part of the rocker arm 12. Two supports 25 are symmetrically arranged on the upper part of the rocker arm 12, and sorting cylinders 2 are mounted on the supports 25 with a gap between them. One end of each sorting cylinder 2 is open, and the other end is closed, with seeds filled inside. A support frame 3 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the rocker arm 12. Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 3 is provided with a plurality of fans 4, and the two sides of the fans 4 are mounted on the fixed seats 41 by pins 43. The fixed seats 41 are fixedly mounted on the support frame 3.

[0034] During seed sorting, seeds are placed in one of the sorting cylinders 2. The telescopic device 11 reciprocates, causing the rocker arm 12 to swing left and right on the base 1, so that the seeds fall from one sorting cylinder 2 into another sorting cylinder 2. When the seeds fall into the gap between the two sorting cylinders 2, the fan 4 blows out the impurities mixed in the seeds, realizing one-time seed air sorting. The reciprocating swing of the rocker arm 12 realizes automatic circulating air sorting of seeds, ensuring the effect of seed air sorting.

[0035] The telescopic device 11 is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric cylinder. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the telescopic device 11 is a hydraulic cylinder.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a hopper 13 is provided in the middle of the rocker arm 12, and a collection bag (not shown in the figure) is connected to the lower part of the hopper 13 for collecting impurities and seeds that fall accidentally. Baffles 17 are provided on both sides of the rocker arm 12 to prevent seeds that fall from the sorting cylinder 2 from falling off the rocker arm 12 again during the rocking process.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower part of the hopper 13 is provided with a U-shaped clamp 14 for quick assembly and disassembly of the collection bag.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the open end of the sorting cylinder 2 is provided with a constricted section 22, which helps to increase the arc of the seeds falling during the initial swinging stage of the rocker arm 12 and reduce the number of seeds spilled on the rocker arm 12; the constricted section 22 is provided with a widening section 23 on one side, so that the opening of the sorting cylinder 2 is in the shape of a trumpet. The constricted section 22 and the widening section 23 cooperate with each other to ensure that the sorting cylinder 2 can better receive the seeds poured out from the other sorting cylinder 2.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the sorting cylinder 2 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed perforations 21, such as Figure 5 As shown, a motor 31 is mounted on the support frame 3, and a drive gear (not shown in the figure) is connected to the output shaft of the motor 31.

A driving pulley 34 is also provided on both sides of the rotating shaft 32. A driven pulley 24 is provided on the sorting cylinder 2. The driving pulley 34 and the driven pulley 24 are connected by a transmission belt. When the motor 31 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate through gear transmission. The rotating shaft 32 drives the sorting cylinder 2 to rotate through belt transmission, so that the seeds tumble in the sorting cylinder 2, screen out some small particle impurities, and improve the efficiency of seed sorting.

[0040] like Figure 8As shown, the rotating shaft 32 is provided with several key bars, and end plates 33 are connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 32. A bushing 35 is provided on one side of the drive pulley 34. Both the drive pulley 34 and the bushing 35 are provided with keyways that slide with the key bars. A fastening screw 36 is threaded onto the bushing 35 for adjusting the position of the drive pulley 34. Figure 2 As shown, guide rods 15 are provided on both sides of the rocker arm 12, and the guide rods 15 are slidably connected to the support 25. The rocker arm 12 is also provided with a double-ended screw 16, which is threadedly connected to the support 25. Rotating the double-ended screw 16 realizes the adjustment of the distance between the two supports 25, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the two sorting cylinders 2. After the position of the sorting cylinder 2 is adjusted, the drive pulley 34 makes adaptive adjustments on the rotating shaft 32 to adapt to the sorting of seeds of different particle sizes.

[0041] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a fixing plate 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the pin 43, and an adjusting bolt 45 is threaded onto the fixing plate 44. By rotating the pin 43 and using the adjusting bolt 45 to tighten the fixing plate 44, the air outlet angle of the fan 4 can be adjusted. A corrugated groove 42 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 44, and one end of the adjusting bolt 45 is locked in the groove 42 to ensure the stability of the fan 4 after the angle is adjusted.
