Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pretreatment technology for Anoectochilus roxburghii seeds, specifically to a pretreatment device for Anoectochilus roxburghii seeds. Background Technology

[0002] Golden Thread Orchid, also known as Golden Thread Orchid, is a perennial rare Chinese herbal medicine belonging to the genus *Anoectochilus* of the family Orchidaceae. The whole plant is used medicinally: it clears heat and cools the blood, removes dampness and detoxifies, balances yin and yang, strengthens the body's resistance, promotes yin-yang balance, generates fluids and nourishes the complexion, regulates qi and blood, benefits the five internal organs, and promotes longevity.

[0003] As a rare and precious traditional Chinese medicine, the purity and quality of the seeds of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* directly affect the subsequent planting results and the quality of the medicinal material. Therefore, meticulous sieving of the seeds before planting is crucial. This not only effectively removes impurities such as dust, pebbles, and leaves, but also allows for grading based on seed size and quality, facilitating more refined planting management strategies and promoting seed germination rate and uniform growth.

[0004] However, existing seed screening devices have significant shortcomings in practical applications. Especially when processing large quantities of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* seeds, if operators add too much material at once, it easily leads to blockage of the feed inlet. This not only severely affects the continuity and efficiency of the screening process but may also damage the seeds or result in poor screening. Currently, this problem is mainly addressed by manual unblocking, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient, failing to meet the demands of large-scale cultivation for rapid and efficient seed screening. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pretreatment device for Anoectochilus roxburghii seeds to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pretreatment device for *Anoectochilus roxburghii* seeds, comprising a housing, the top of which has a feed inlet. The surface of the feed inlet is provided with a clogging component to prevent blockage, a linkage component to improve clogging efficiency, and a cleaning component to prevent seeds from adhering to the inner wall of the feed inlet. The clogging component includes:

[0007] A connecting plate is fixed to the surface of the feed inlet. A second motor is fixed to the top of the connecting plate. An inclined plate is fixed to the surface of the output shaft of the second motor. A long rod is provided on the surface of the connecting plate, and the long rod passes through the connecting plate and is slidably connected to the connecting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the unblocking component further includes a first abutment rod, which is provided in two sets. The inclined plate is located between the two sets of first abutment rods. The surfaces of the two sets of first abutment rods abut against the surface of the inclined plate. A first protrusion is fixed to the lower surface of the long rod. A stabilizing plate is fixed to the surface of the long rod. A first spring is fixed to the bottom of the stabilizing plate. The bottom of the first spring is fixed to the top of the connecting plate. When the second motor is turned on, the inclined plate rotates, and the first abutment rod drives the long rod and the first protrusion to move up and down reciprocally, thereby increasing the gap between the seeds and achieving the unblocking effect without the need for manual unblocking.

[0009] Preferably, the linkage assembly includes a movable rod that passes through a connecting plate and is slidably connected to the connecting plate. A long plate is fixed to the top of the movable rod, and a second spring is fixed to the bottom of the long plate. The bottom of the second spring is fixed to the top of the connecting plate. A short plate is fixed to the surface of the long plate away from the second spring. A second abutment rod is fixed to the side of the short plate away from the long plate. Two sets of the second abutment rods are provided. An inclined plate is located between the two sets of the second abutment rods, and the surface of the second abutment rod abuts against the surface of the inclined plate. A base plate is fixed to the bottom of the movable rod. A groove is formed on the surface of the base plate at the end away from the movable rod. A sliding column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove. A spring three is fixed to the surface of the sliding column. The end of the spring three away from the sliding column is fixed to the inner wall of the groove. A protrusion two is fixed to the surface of the feed inlet. When the inclined plate rotates, the contact rod two drives the short plate, long plate, and movable rod to move up and down reciprocally. At this time, the base plate drives the sliding column to move synchronously. The sliding column intermittently contacts the protrusion two, which causes the feed inlet to vibrate and loosen the seeds in the feed inlet.

[0010] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a rotating drum rotatably connected to the bottom of a connecting plate. A long rod passes through the drum, and an arc-shaped groove is formed on the inner wall of the drum. An abutment rod three is fixed to the surface of the long rod, with one end of the abutment rod three extending into the arc-shaped groove and its surface contacting the inner wall of the groove. A scraper rod is fixed to the surface of the rotating drum, with one end of the scraper rod away from the rotating drum fitting against the inner wall of the feed inlet. When the long rod moves up and down, the abutment rod three contacts the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove, causing the rotating drum to rotate repeatedly, thereby driving the scraper rod to rotate synchronously and scrape away the seeds adhering to the inner wall of the feed inlet.

[0011] Preferably, a motor is fixed to the left side surface of the box, and the output shaft of the motor passes through the box. A circular plate is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner wall of the box.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a pretreatment device for *Anoectochilus roxburghii* seeds, including a housing 1. The top of the housing 1 has an inlet 14. The surface of the inlet 14 is provided with a clogging component 7, a linkage component 8 to improve clogging efficiency, and a cleaning component 9 to prevent seeds from adhering to the inner wall of the inlet 14. The clogging component 7 includes a connecting plate 70, which is fixed to the surface of the inlet 14. A second motor 71 is fixed to the top of the connecting plate 70. An inclined plate 72 is fixed to the surface of the output shaft of the second motor 71. A long rod 73 is provided on the surface of the connecting plate 70, penetrating the connecting plate 70 and sliding against the connecting plate 70. The moving connection and unblocking component 7 also includes abutment rod 74, which is provided in two sets. Inclined plate 72 is located between the two sets of abutment rods 74. The surfaces of the two sets of abutment rods 74 abut against the surface of inclined plate 72. A protrusion 75 is fixed to the lower surface of long rod 73. A stabilizing plate 76 is fixed to the surface of long rod 73. A spring 77 is fixed to the bottom of stabilizing plate 76. The bottom of spring 77 is fixed to the top of connecting plate 70. When motor 71 is turned on, inclined plate 72 rotates, and its surface abuts against the surface of abutment rod 74, driving long rod 73 and protrusion 75 to move up and down reciprocally, thereby increasing the gap between seeds and achieving the unblocking effect.

[0024] The linkage assembly 8 includes a movable rod 80 that passes through a connecting plate 70 and is slidably connected to the connecting plate 70. A long plate 81 is fixed to the top of the movable rod 80, and a second spring 82 is fixed to the bottom of the long plate 81. The bottom of the second spring 82 is fixed to the top of the connecting plate 70. A short plate 83 is fixed to the surface of the long plate 81 away from the second spring 82. A second abutment rod 84 is fixed to the side of the short plate 83 away from the long plate 81. Two sets of the second abutment rods 84 are provided. An inclined plate 72 is located between the two sets of the second abutment rods 84, and the surface of the second abutment rod 84 abuts against the surface of the inclined plate 72. A base plate 85 is fixed to the bottom of the movable rod 80. The base plate 85 is located away from the movable rod. A groove 87 is provided on one end of the moving rod 80. A sliding column 88 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 87. A spring 89 is fixed on the surface of the sliding column 88. The end of the spring 89 away from the sliding column 88 is fixed on the inner wall of the groove 87. A protrusion 86 is fixed on the surface of the feed inlet 14. When the inclined plate 72 rotates, its surface also abuts against the abutting rod 84, causing the abutting rod 84 to drive the short plate 83, the long plate 81, and the moving rod 80 to move up and down reciprocally. At this time, the bottom plate 85 drives the sliding column 88 to move synchronously. The sliding column 88 abuts against the protrusion 86 intermittently, which causes the feed inlet 14 to vibrate, loosening the seeds in the feed inlet 14 and further improving the unblocking efficiency.

[0025] The cleaning component 9 includes a rotating drum 90, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 70. The rotating drum 90 is penetrated by a long rod 73. An arc-shaped groove 91 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating drum 90. An abutment rod 92 is fixed on the surface of the long rod 73. The end of the abutment rod 92 away from the long rod 73 extends into the arc-shaped groove 91, and the surface of the abutment rod 92 abuts against the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 91. A scraper 93 is fixed on the surface of the rotating drum 90. The end of the scraper 93 away from the rotating drum 90 is in contact with the inner wall of the feed inlet 14. When the long rod 73 moves up and down, the abutment rod 92 moves synchronously and abuts against the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 91, which causes the rotating drum 90 to rotate back and forth, thereby driving the scraper 93 to rotate synchronously and scrape off the seeds adhering to the inner wall of the feed inlet 14.

[0026] A motor 3 is fixed to the left side of the box 1. The output shaft of the motor 3 passes through the box 1. A circular plate 10 is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner wall of the box 1. A short column 11 is fixed to the surface of the circular plate 10. A sliding rod 12 is abutted to the surface of the short column 11. A fixed rod 13 is fixed to the top of the sliding rod 12. A sieve plate 4 is fixed to the top of the fixed rod 13. The sieve plate 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box 1. A waste outlet 5 is opened on the right side of the box 1. A discharge outlet 6 is opened at the bottom of the box 1. A door 2 is opened on the surface of the box 1. When the motor 3 is turned on, the circular plate 10 rotates, which drives the short column 11 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the surface of the short column 11 abuts against the inside of the sliding rod 12, which allows the sliding rod 12 to drive the fixed rod 13 and the sieve plate 4 to move up and down reciprocally, which facilitates the screening of seeds and waste.

[0027] When pre-treatment of *Anoectochilus roxburghii* seeds is required, motor 3 is turned on, and the circular plate 10 rotates, driving the short column 11 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the surface of the short column 11 abuts against the inner side of the sliding rod 12, causing the sliding rod 12 to drive the fixed rod 13 and the sieve plate 4 to move up and down reciprocally. Seeds are then fed in through the feed inlet 14 and screened through the sieve plate 4. Impurities are discharged through the impurity outlet 5, and the screened seeds are discharged through the discharge outlet 6 for collection. If too much raw material is fed in at once, causing blockage at the feed inlet 14, motor 71 is turned on, and the inclined plate 72 rotates. Its surface abuts against the surface of the contact rod 74, driving the long rod 73 to move up and down reciprocally, synchronously driving the protrusion 75 to move, thus increasing the gap between the seeds and achieving a clearing effect. No manual clearing is required, improving screening efficiency. The movement of the long rod 73 is stabilized by the spring 77 and the stabilizing plate 76, while the inclined plate 72 rotates. Its surface also abuts against the second abutment rod 84, causing the second abutment rod 84 to drive the short plate 83, the long plate 81, and the movable rod 80 to move up and down reciprocally. At this time, the base plate 85 drives the sliding column 88 to move synchronously. When the surface of the sliding column 88 abuts against the surface of the second protrusion 86, the sliding column 88 moves into the sliding groove 87, and the third spring 89 is compressed. When the sliding column 88 and the second protrusion 86 are staggered, the third spring 89 is released, which allows the sliding column 88 to return to its original position. During the downward movement, the intermittent contact with the second protrusion 86 causes the feed inlet 14 to vibrate, loosening the seeds inside the feed inlet 14 and further improving the unblocking efficiency. At the same time, when the long rod 73 moves up and down, it drives the third contact rod 92 to move synchronously. The third contact rod 92 contacts the inner wall of the arc-shaped sliding groove 91, which causes the rotating drum 90 to rotate back and forth, thereby driving the scraper 93 to rotate synchronously, scraping and cleaning the seeds adhering to the inner wall of the feed inlet 14 to avoid blockage.

[0028] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
