Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quinoa cultivation technology, specifically to a highly efficient and continuous vertical quinoa seed dressing device. Background Technology

[0002] Quinoa is a plant belonging to the genus Chenopodiaceae in the family Chenopodiaceae. Its seeds are small, resembling small round tablets, with a diameter of 1.5 to 2 mm. To ensure uniform planting and an appropriate seed quantity, and to improve seed germination rate and seedling uniformity, quinoa seeds usually need to be treated before planting. The treatment material is usually millet or foxtail millet (usually one part seeds to two parts treatment material). At the same time, depending on the geographical environment, specific chemical agents or pesticides can be added during the treatment process to prevent underground pests from damaging the seeds.

[0003] Currently, common mixing equipment is mainly divided into two types: vertical and horizontal. In the seed mixing process, both types of equipment first put the seeds, mixing materials, and pesticides directly into the storage silo, and then start the mixing mechanism of the equipment to mix the seeds. In practice, it has been found that the entire seed mixing process takes a long time to achieve uniform mixing. Moreover, the seed mixing operation is carried out in batches. Each batch of seed mixing operation requires the seeds, mixing materials, and pesticides to be weighed and proportioned in advance. In addition to adding seeds and mixing materials, as well as the final removal of materials, the machine must be stopped. This is an extremely heavy workload for large-scale quinoa farms.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a vertical device that can continuously coat quinoa seeds without stopping the machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly efficient and continuous vertical quinoa seed dressing device to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A highly efficient and continuous vertical quinoa seed mixing device includes a support structure, a material supply unit, and a mixing mechanism. The support structure is divided into a bottom support, a middle support, and a top support from bottom to top. The bottom support, middle support, and top support are fixedly connected to each other to form a whole to support the entire material supply unit and the mixing mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the mixing mechanism is vertically installed between the middle layer support and the bottom layer support; the mixing mechanism includes a primary mixing chamber, a mixing component, a mixing servo motor, and a secondary mixing chamber. The primary mixing chamber and the secondary mixing chamber are fixed on the middle layer support and the bottom layer support, respectively. A connecting pipe is welded to the bottom of the primary mixing chamber. The primary mixing chamber and the secondary mixing chamber are located at the upper and lower ends of the mixing component, respectively. The mixing servo motor is a low-speed, high-torque servo motor, which provides a stable mixing driving force for the quinoa seed mixing operation.

[0009] Furthermore, the mixing assembly consists of a stirring unit and a primary mixing bin. The upper end of the primary mixing bin is fixed to the inner side of the connecting pipe, and the outer side of the bottom of the primary mixing bin is fixed to the bottom support. A gasket is provided between the primary mixing bin and the bottom support. The bottom end of the primary mixing bin is inserted into the top of the secondary mixing bin. The primary mixing bin, the primary mixing bin, and the secondary mixing bin are connected vertically. The entire design is mainly to facilitate the upper and lower two-stage mixing design. Quinoa seeds and mixing materials can pass through the primary mixing area, the primary mixing area, and the secondary mixing area from top to bottom in the mixing mechanism, so that the materials can be mixed during the falling process.

[0010] Furthermore, the material supply unit includes several material boxes installed on the top support and a reagent box installed between the middle support and the top support. The bottom of each material box is connected to the primary mixing chamber on the mixing mechanism through a conveying pipe equipped with a regulating valve. The reagent box is connected to the primary mixing chamber on the mixing mechanism through a drug conveying pipe. The reagent box is designed as a ring, and its mixing servo motor is located in the annular space in the middle of the reagent box and is fixed to the top of the middle support with bolts.

[0011] The entire design separates the storage silo and mixing mechanism, connecting them via pipelines. A regulating valve allows for flexible adjustment of the material feeding speed, enabling the addition of materials with different proportions. This ensures that the entire seed mixing process, from feeding and mixing to final discharge, is independent of each other. No machine stoppage is required during feeding and discharging, achieving continuous feeding, mixing, and discharging operations. Furthermore, there is no need to pre-proportion the seed materials. Compared to traditional mixing equipment, this effectively reduces the workload of seed mixing and improves the efficiency of quinoa seed mixing.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to achieve the mixing operation of quinoa seeds and feed from the initial mixing chamber to the discharge, we have changed the traditional large-volume storage and mixing structure. The storage mechanism of the traditional mixing equipment is divided into three parts: an initial mixing chamber, a primary mixing chamber, and a secondary mixing chamber. The three chambers are designed vertically, and the primary and secondary mixing chambers form an upper and lower mixing design. The initial mixing chamber and the secondary mixing chamber are both spherical, while the primary mixing chamber is cylindrical.

[0013] In the specific design, the mixing unit is installed between the primary mixing bin and the secondary mixing bin. The mixing unit mainly consists of a mixing shaft, a primary mixing blade, and a secondary mixing blade. The top of the mixing shaft passes through the top of the primary mixing bin and is connected to the output shaft of the mixing servo motor installed at the top of the middle support through a coupling. The primary mixing blade is a spiral blade. It should be noted that when the mixing servo motor drives the mixing unit to rotate, the rotation direction of the primary mixing blade is opposite to the direction of seed falling. In order to ensure that the primary mixing blade can achieve seed mixing operation without affecting the falling of seeds and mixing materials, the primary mixing blade has evenly distributed material passage holes with a diameter of 15-25 mm, so that the spiral primary mixing blade forms a multi-hole design in the middle. The primary mixing blade is fixed in the middle of the mixing shaft and located inside the primary mixing bin. The secondary mixing blade consists of several arc-shaped strip-shaped mixing blades, which are evenly distributed around the bottom circumference of the mixing shaft and located inside the secondary mixing bin.

[0014] Furthermore, the edge of the primary mixing blade slides and fits against the inner wall of the primary mixing hopper. The bottom of the secondary mixing hopper is provided with a discharge port equipped with an opening and closing valve. When the primary mixing blade rotates, it flips the mixture falling into the primary mixing hopper upwards. The material passage holes distributed on the primary mixing blade provide a channel for the mixture to fall. As the primary mixing blade continues to rotate, the positions of the upper and lower material passage holes in the primary mixing hopper continuously move, so that the mixture can achieve the mixing operation of seeds and materials during the falling process. The design of the secondary mixing hopper and the secondary mixing blade can further improve the uniformity of the mixing of quinoa seeds and materials, and improve the quality of seed mixing.

[0015] Furthermore, to facilitate the simultaneous addition of medication to quinoa seeds and mix during the seed treatment process, the medication delivery pipe includes a main pipe connected to the output port of the medication pump inside the medication tank, and several branch pipes with one end connected to the main pipe. The other end of the branch pipes passes through the top of the primary mixing tank and enters the primary mixing chamber, and is equipped with an atomizing nozzle. By using the medication pump inside the medication tank in conjunction with the medication delivery pipe and the atomizing nozzle, the medication is sprayed on the surface of the seeds and mix when the quinoa seeds and mix enter the primary mixing chamber simultaneously, thereby improving the uniformity of medication adhesion on the surface of the seeds and mix.

[0016] Furthermore, to prevent seeds and feed from sticking to the walls during the entire seed mixing process, a silent vibration motor is installed in the middle of the top support, located between several material boxes. The high-frequency vibration generated by the silent vibration motor is transmitted to the mixing mechanism through the support mechanism, which not only prevents seeds and feed from sticking to the walls of the mixing mechanism, but also prevents blockage.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This invention improves upon the traditional vertical mixer structure by separating the storage silo from the mixing silo and connecting them via pipelines. A regulating valve allows for flexible adjustment of the material feeding speed to accommodate different mixing ratios. Furthermore, the mixing mechanism is a departure from the traditional large-capacity storage structure. The mixing mechanism is vertical, employing a two-stage mixing design. The mixing blades, combined with the mixing silo, ensure that the material is mixed during its descent. The entire seed mixing process—from feeding and mixing to final discharge—is independent, requiring no downtime and enabling continuous feeding, mixing, and discharging. Moreover, it eliminates the need for pre-mixing the seed material, effectively reducing the workload compared to traditional mixing equipment and thus improving the efficiency of quinoa seed mixing.

[0024] The following illustrations will reveal several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.

[0025] Example

[0026] To address the shortcomings of traditional seed mixing equipment, such as long operating time and inability to perform continuous seed mixing operations, we propose a vertical device that can continuously mix quinoa seeds without shutting down the machine. The specific solution is as follows:

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a highly efficient and continuous vertical quinoa seed mixing device, which specifically includes a support structure, a material supply unit, and a mixing mechanism. The support structure is divided into a bottom support 1, a middle support 2, and a top support 3 from bottom to top. The bottom support 1, the middle support 2, and the top support 3 are fixedly connected to each other to form a whole, which is used to support the entire material supply unit and the mixing mechanism.

[0028] The mixing mechanism is vertically installed between the middle support 2 and the bottom support 1. The mixing mechanism includes a primary mixing chamber 5, a mixing component 11, a mixing servo motor 12, and a secondary mixing chamber 14. The primary mixing chamber 5 and the secondary mixing chamber 14 are fixed on the middle support 2 and the bottom support 1, respectively. The bottom of the primary mixing chamber 5 is welded with a connecting pipe 6. The primary mixing chamber 5 and the secondary mixing chamber 14 are located at the upper and lower ends of the mixing component 11, respectively. The mixing servo motor 12 is a low-speed, high-torque servo motor, which provides a stable mixing driving force for the quinoa seed mixing operation.

[0029] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the mixing assembly 11 consists of a mixing unit and a primary mixing bin 114. The upper end of the primary mixing bin 114 is fixed to the inner side of the connecting pipe 6, and the outer side of the bottom of the primary mixing bin 114 is fixed to the bottom support 1. A gasket 13 is provided between the primary mixing bin 114 and the bottom support 1. The bottom end of the primary mixing bin 114 is inserted into the top of the secondary mixing bin 14. The primary mixing bin 5, the primary mixing bin 114 and the secondary mixing bin 14 are connected vertically. The entire design is mainly to facilitate the upper and lower two-stage mixing design. Quinoa seeds and mixing materials can pass through the primary mixing area, the primary mixing area and the secondary mixing area from top to bottom in the mixing mechanism, so that the materials can be mixed during the falling process.

[0030] like Figure 1-3As shown, the material supply unit includes several material boxes 4 installed on the top support 3, and a reagent box 7 installed between the middle support 2 and the top support 3. The bottom of each material box 4 is connected to the primary mixing chamber 5 on the mixing mechanism through a conveying pipe 9 equipped with a regulating valve 10. The reagent box 7 is connected to the primary mixing chamber 5 on the mixing mechanism through a conveying pipe 8. The reagent box 7 is designed as a ring, and its mixing servo motor 12 is located in the annular space in the middle of the reagent box 7 and is fixed to the top of the middle support 2 with bolts.

[0031] The entire design separates the storage silo and the mixing mechanism, connecting them via pipelines. A regulating valve 10 is used to flexibly adjust the material feeding speed, enabling the addition of materials with different proportions. This ensures that the entire seed mixing process, from feeding and mixing to final discharge, is independent of each other. No machine stoppage is required during feeding and discharging, achieving continuous feeding, mixing, and discharging operations. Furthermore, there is no need to pre-proportion the seed materials. Compared to traditional mixing equipment, this effectively reduces the workload of seed mixing and improves the efficiency of quinoa seed mixing.

[0032] To ensure that the mixing process of quinoa seeds and feed is completed as they fall from the primary mixing chamber 5 until they are discharged, we have changed the traditional large-volume storage and mixing structure. Instead, we have divided the storage mechanism of the traditional mixing equipment into three parts: the primary mixing chamber 5, the first-stage mixing chamber 114, and the second-stage mixing chamber 14. The three chambers are designed vertically, and the first-stage mixing chamber 114 and the second-stage mixing chamber 14 form an upper and lower mixing design. The primary mixing chamber 5 and the second-stage mixing chamber 14 are both spherical, while the first-stage mixing chamber 114 is cylindrical.

[0033] In the specific design, the mixing unit is installed between the primary mixing bin 114 and the secondary mixing bin 14. The mixing unit mainly consists of a mixing shaft 111, a primary mixing blade 112, and a secondary mixing blade 115. The top of the mixing shaft 111 passes through the top of the primary mixing bin 5 and is connected to the output shaft of the mixing servo motor 12 installed at the top of the middle support 2 via a coupling. The primary mixing blade 112 is a spiral blade. It should be noted that when the mixing servo motor 12 drives the mixing unit to rotate, the rotation direction of the primary mixing blade 112 is opposite to the direction of seed falling. To ensure that the primary mixing blade 112 can perform seed mixing operations without affecting the falling of seeds and mixed materials during rotation, material passage holes 113 with a diameter of 15-25 mm are evenly distributed on the primary mixing blade 112, so that the spiral primary mixing blade 112 forms a multi-hole design in the middle. The primary mixing blade 112 is fixed in the middle of the mixing shaft 111 and located inside the primary mixing bin 114. The secondary mixing blade 115 is composed of several arc-shaped long strip mixing blades, which are evenly distributed around the bottom circumference of the mixing shaft 111 and located inside the secondary mixing bin 14.

[0034] The edge of the primary mixing blade 112 slides against the inner wall of the primary mixing bin 114. The bottom of the secondary mixing bin 14 is provided with a discharge port, on which an on / off valve 15 is installed. The on / off valve 15 is an adjustable manual valve. When the primary mixing blade 112 rotates, it flips the mixture falling into the primary mixing bin 114 upwards. The material passage holes 113 distributed on the primary mixing blade 112 provide a channel for the mixture to fall. As the primary mixing blade 112 continues to rotate, the positions of the upper and lower material passage holes 113 in the primary mixing bin 114 continuously move, so that the mixture can achieve the mixing operation of seeds and materials during the falling process. The design of the secondary mixing bin 14 and the secondary mixing blade 115 can further improve the uniformity of the mixing of quinoa seeds and materials and improve the quality of seed mixing.

[0035] To facilitate the simultaneous addition of medicine to quinoa seeds and feed during the seed treatment process, the medicine delivery pipe 8 includes a main pipe connected to the output port of the medicine delivery pump inside the medicine tank 7, and several branch pipes with one end connected to the main pipe. The other end of the branch pipes passes through the top of the primary mixing tank and enters the primary mixing chamber 5, and is equipped with an atomizing nozzle. By using the medicine delivery pump inside the medicine tank 7 in conjunction with the medicine delivery pipe 8 and the atomizing nozzle, medicine is sprayed on the surface of the seeds and feed when the quinoa seeds and feed enter the primary mixing chamber 5 simultaneously, thereby improving the uniformity of medicine adhesion on the surface of the seeds and feed.

[0036] To prevent seeds and feed from sticking to the walls during the entire seed mixing process, a silent vibration motor 16 is installed in the middle of the top support 3, located between several material boxes 4. The high-frequency vibration generated by the silent vibration motor 16 is transmitted to the mixing mechanism through the support mechanism, which not only prevents seeds and feed from sticking to the walls of the mixing mechanism, but also prevents blockage.

[0037] In actual operation, the operator only needs to put quinoa seeds and corresponding feed ingredients into the corresponding material bins 4, start the silent vibration motor 16 and the mixing servo motor 12 in the mixing mechanism to make the mixing unit rotate, and adjust the corresponding dropping speed by adjusting the regulating valve 10 on the conveying pipe 9 at the bottom of the corresponding material bin 4, thereby realizing the addition of different proportions of feed ingredients (it should be noted that, depending on the actual needs of seed mixing, if it is necessary to add pesticides, the pesticide liquid can be stored in the pesticide tank 7 and the pesticide pump can be turned on). After the seeds and feed ingredients enter the primary mixing tank through the conveying pipe 9, they undergo preliminary mixing to form primary mixed granules, which then fall into the primary mixing bin 114 for primary mixing. The rotation direction of blade 112 is opposite to the material dropping direction, which plays a role in lifting the granules in the primary mixing bin 114. Since there is a material passage hole 113 on the primary mixing blade 112, the granules will still fall into the secondary mixing bin 14 through the material passage hole 113 during the upward lifting process, thereby realizing the material turning operation from the outside to the inside (the material turning of traditional vertical mixing mechanisms is from the middle to the outside). This allows the granules to be mixed during the falling process. The design of the secondary mixing bin 14 is twofold: first, to improve the uniformity of mixing in conjunction with the secondary mixing blade 115; and second, to serve as a buffer bin in the discharge process. In conjunction with the opening and closing valve 15 set on the discharge port, the balance between feeding and discharging is adjusted.

[0038] During the entire process of using the equipment, there is no need to shut down the equipment for feeding and discharging. The corresponding materials can be directly added to the corresponding material box 4. The seed mixing operation can be carried out continuously, thereby effectively increasing the workload and efficiency of quinoa seed mixing.

[0039] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
