Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean seed screening technology, specifically a multi-stage screening device for soybean seed breeding. Background Technology
[0002] Soybeans, as an important global crop, are widely used in food, feed, and industry. With the advancement of agricultural modernization and the increasing demands for soybean yield and quality, the breeding of high-quality soybean seeds has become increasingly crucial. Seed quality directly affects the growth, development, yield, and resistance to pests and diseases of soybeans. In the process of soybean seed breeding, precise particle size screening of seeds is an important step in ensuring seed quality. It can effectively remove seeds that do not meet the standards, improve seed uniformity and purity, and lay a good foundation for subsequent planting.
[0003] Currently, in the field of soybean seed screening, the most common screening devices are traditional vibrating screens or fixed-aperture screens. Vibrating screens mainly use the vibration generated by a vibrating motor to make the seeds move on the screen, and the screening is achieved by the size of the screen aperture. Fixed-aperture screens combine screens of different apertures to allow the seeds to pass through in sequence to achieve the purpose of grading.
[0004] During the screening process, vibrating screens can only change the screening specifications by changing screens with different aperture sizes, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Although fixed aperture screen equipment has a simple structure, the screening aperture is fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the specific screening requirements of different varieties and batches of soybean seeds, resulting in poor adaptability. Therefore, we propose a multi-stage screening device for soybean seed breeding. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a multi-stage screening device for soybean seed selection, including a shell 1. A control switch 10 is provided on the front side of the shell 1. The input end of the control switch 10 is electrically connected to an external power source. A feeding pipe 6 is provided at the feed inlet on the upper side wall of the shell 1. The shell 1 is provided with uniformly distributed slide rails 4. A collection chamber 5 is slidably connected inside each slide rail 4. Pull-out holes 3 corresponding to the collection chambers 5 are provided on the left and right side walls of the shell 1. The soybean seeds to be screened are poured into the shell 1 through the feeding pipe 6. The seeds will first enter the screening chamber 22 located at the top layer. After screening, the collection chamber 5 is pulled out from the shell 1 through the pull-out holes 3. The collection chamber 5 contains soybean seeds of different particle sizes that have been screened. The device also includes a screening mechanism 2 to facilitate the screening and collection of soybean seeds.
[0023] Screening mechanism 2: It includes a U-shaped seat 21, a screening chamber 22, a screening grid 23, and an adjustable screening grid plate 24. The interior of the outer shell 1 has evenly distributed U-shaped seats 21, each with a rotatably connected screening chamber 22. Each screening chamber 22 has a collection chamber 5 on its lower side. The screening mechanism 2 also includes an adjusting shaft 29, with adjusting shafts 29 located on the rear side of each screening chamber 22. An electric cylinder 7 is mounted on the upper side of the outer shell 1. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 7 penetrates the upper side wall of the outer shell 1. An adjusting rod 8 is located at the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 7. The front side of the adjusting rod 8 has evenly distributed strip-shaped openings 9. The rear ends of the adjusting shafts 29 are located inside adjacent rear strip-shaped openings 9. The input end of the electric cylinder 7 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch 10. The screening chamber 22 is located near the outer shell 1. Each of the shell 1 has a screening grid 23 at one end of its center. The screening chamber 22 has an adjustable screening plate 24 slidably connected inside. The adjustable screening plate 24 is installed in conjunction with the adjacent screening grids 23 above and below. (The screening holes of the adjustable screening plate 24 and the screening grids 23 are the same. When the position of the adjustable screening plate 24 changes, the screening holes of the adjustable screening plate 24 partially overlap with the screening holes of the adjacent screening grids 23, while the non-overlapping parts still have gaps, allowing soybean seeds to pass through.) The screening mechanism 2 also includes a guide groove 25 and an adjusting frame 26. The front side of the screening chamber 22 has a guide groove 25, and the front side of the adjustable screening plate 24 has an adjusting frame 26. The middle part of the adjusting frame 26 is slidably connected to the adjacent guide groove 25 on the front side. The screening mechanism 2 also... The system includes mounting plates 27 and lead screws 28. The front side of the screening chamber 22 has symmetrically distributed mounting plates 27, with lead screws 28 rotatably connected between each two laterally adjacent mounting plates 27. The middle of each lead screw 28 is threadedly connected to the front end of an adjacent rear adjusting frame 26. The system also includes a motor 11, with motors 11 mounted on the inner side of each mounting plate 27 near the center of the outer casing 1. The output shafts of the motors 11 are fixedly connected to the center of the end face of each adjacent lead screw 28 near the center of the outer casing 1. The input ends of the motors 11 are electrically connected to the output end of a control switch 10. Based on the actual screening requirements of the soybean seeds, the motors 11 are started, and their output shafts drive the lead screws 28 to rotate. Since the lead screws 28 are threadedly connected to the front end of the adjusting frame 26, and the adjusting frame 26 is located in the guide groove... The sliding mechanism 25, with the rotation of the lead screw 28, causes the adjusting frame 26 to move back and forth along the guide groove 25, thereby driving the adjusting screen plate 24 to slide within the screening chamber 22. This adjusts the relative position between the adjusting screen plate 24 and the screening mesh 23, changing the actual screening aperture size of the screening station. If the tilt angle of the screening chamber 22 needs adjustment, the electric cylinder 7 is activated. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 7 drives the adjusting rod 8 to move up and down. The strip-shaped opening 9 on the adjusting rod 8 interacts with the adjusting shaft 29 on the rear side of the screening chamber 22, causing the screening chamber 22 to rotate around the rotation connection point of the U-shaped seat 21, thus changing the tilt angle of the screening chamber 22. A suitable tilt angle helps the seeds move more smoothly during the screening process, improving screening efficiency. Soybean seeds are within the screening chamber 22.Due to their own gravity and the tilt angle of the screening chamber 22, seeds roll and slide on the screening grid 23 and the adjusting screening plate 24. Seeds smaller than the current screening aperture (determined by the gap between the screening grid 23 and the screen aperture of the adjusting screening plate 24) will fall through the screening grid 23 into the corresponding collection chamber 5 below, while seeds larger than the screening aperture will remain in the current screening chamber 22. As the seeds are continuously screened, seeds of different sizes remaining in each screening chamber 22 are gradually separated. The soybean seed screening size can be adjusted according to specific circumstances.
[0024] The working principle of the multi-stage screening device for soybean seed breeding provided by this utility model is as follows: Soybean seeds to be screened are poured into the outer casing 1 through the feeding pipe 6. The seeds first enter the screening chamber 22 located at the top. Based on the actual screening requirements of the soybean seeds, the motor 11 is started. The output shaft of the motor 11 drives the lead screw 28 to rotate. Since the lead screw 28 is threadedly connected to the front end of the adjusting frame 26, and the adjusting frame 26 slides within the guide groove 25, the rotation of the lead screw 28 causes the adjusting frame 26 to move back and forth along the guide groove 25, thereby driving the adjusting screening screen plate 24 to slide within the screening chamber 22. Adjusting the relative position between the adjusting screening screen plate 24 and the screening mesh 23 changes the actual screening aperture size of the screening station. If it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the screening chamber 22, the electric cylinder 7 is started. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 7 drives the adjusting rod 8 to move up and down. The strip-shaped opening 9 on the adjusting rod 8 will engage with the adjusting shaft 29 on the rear side of the screening chamber 22. The interaction causes the screening chamber 22 to rotate around the rotation connection point of the U-shaped seat 21, thereby changing the tilt angle of the screening chamber 22. A suitable tilt angle helps the seeds move more smoothly during the screening process and improves the screening efficiency. In the screening chamber 22, soybean seeds are affected by their own gravity and the tilt angle of the screening chamber 22, and roll and slide on the screening grid 23 and the adjusting screening screen plate 24. Seeds smaller than the current screening aperture (determined by the gap between the screening grid 23 and the screen holes of the adjusting screening screen plate 24) will fall into the corresponding collection chamber 5 below through the screening grid 23; while seeds larger than the screening aperture will remain in the current screening chamber 22. As the seeds are continuously screened, seeds of different sizes remaining in each screening chamber 22 are gradually separated. After screening, the collection chamber 5 is pulled out from the outer shell 1 through the pull hole 3. The collection chamber 5 contains soybean seeds of different sizes that have been screened.
[0025] It is worth noting that the electric cylinder 7 disclosed in the above embodiments can be a TGA series electric cylinder, the motor 11 can be a 2IK6GN-C series, and the control switch 10 is provided with control buttons that correspond one-to-one with the electric cylinder 7 and the motor 11 and are used to control their switching.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
