[0002] Sunflower seeds are a common type of nut, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, minerals and other nutrients. They have the effects of replenishing energy, anti-oxidation and protecting the cardiovascular system. During the processing of sunflower seeds, they need to be screened according to specific gravity to remove dust and solid impurities mixed in with the seeds.

[0003] The existing patent with publication number CN215390591U discloses a gravity meter for sunflower seed production. This device uses a screen to sieve sunflower seeds. Although it can separate solid impurities from the sunflower seeds, the sieving process causes dust and impurities mixed in with the sunflower seeds to be stirred up, resulting in poor treatment of dust and impurities. Furthermore, the sunflower seeds need to be poured out and collected after sieving, which is not only laborious but also prone to spilling. Therefore, a gravity meter for sunflower seed production is needed to meet the usage requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gravity meter for sunflower seed production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Reference Figure 1-3To collect and treat dust mixed inside sunflower seeds, this embodiment provides a specific gravity meter for sunflower seed production. The meter includes a housing 1, with a feed hopper 2 fixedly installed on top of the housing 1. It also includes a dust sieving mechanism 3, mounted on the housing 1, for absorbing and treating dust mixed on the sunflower seeds. The dust sieving mechanism 3 includes a dust suction hood 31 and a first support plate 34 fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1. A dust guide pipe 32 is fixedly installed on the dust suction hood 31, and a fan 33 is fixedly installed inside the dust guide pipe 32. A water tank 35 is fixedly installed on the top of the first support plate 34, and the end of the dust guide pipe 32 is located in the water tank 35. Inside the device 35, the top of the water tank 35 is provided with an air vent 36. When the sunflower seeds are slowly put into the device housing 1 from the feed hopper 2, the dust mixed in with the sunflower seeds is relatively light during the falling process. The exhaust fan 33 will suck the dust into the dust guide pipe 32 through the dust suction hood 31 and then into the water tank 35 through the dust guide pipe 32. The dust that enters the water tank 35 will be dissolved and absorbed by the water in the water tank 35, which can prevent the dust from being stirred up when the sunflower seeds are screened and can absorb and treat the dust. The sucked-in air will be discharged to the outside of the water tank 35 through the air vent 36.

[0026] In order to discharge the wastewater after absorbing dust, a drain pipe 37 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank 35. The drain pipe 37 passes through the first support plate 34 and extends to the bottom of the first support plate 34. A valve body 38 is fixedly installed on the drain pipe 37. The valve body 38 can be opened to discharge the wastewater from the water tank 35 through the drain pipe 37.

[0027] To clean the dirt adhering to the inner wall of the water tank 35 and facilitate the addition of water, a cover 39 is provided on the top of the water tank 35. A first buckle 310 is provided on the top of the water tank 35 and the cover 39. The first buckle 310 allows the cover 39 to be opened from the top of the water tank 35, facilitating the cleaning of dirt adhering to the inner wall of the water tank 35. Water can also be added to the water tank 35 through the opening at the top. It should be noted that the first buckle 310 consists of a first pressing block and a first retaining sleeve. The first pressing block is fixedly installed on the top of the cover 39, and the first retaining sleeve is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 35. The first pressing block can be inserted into the first retaining sleeve. Removing the first pressing block from the first retaining sleeve allows the cover 39 to be removed, while pressing the first pressing block into the first retaining sleeve allows the cover 39 to be installed inside the water tank 35.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5To achieve the sieving of solid matter within sunflower seeds and the separate collection of sieved seeds and solid matter, a gravity separator for sunflower seed production also includes a sieving component 4, mounted on the outer casing 1. This component is used for sieving sunflower seeds and collecting the sieved seeds and impurities. The sieving component 4 includes a surrounding plate 41 fixedly installed inside the outer casing 1, a sieve plate 42 slidably mounted inside the surrounding plate 41, and an extension plate 43 fixedly mounted at one end of the sieve plate 42. A drive mechanism 44 is provided on the outer casing 1, the surrounding plate 41, and the sieve plate 42. Impurity collection boxes 45 and sunflower seed collection boxes 46 are respectively provided on the inner and outer sides of the outer casing 1. After dust removal, the sunflower seeds are sieved... Under the action of force, the seeds will enter the enclosure 41. Under the action of the drive mechanism 44, the sieve plate 42 will move back and forth to sieve the seeds, which can remove the solid impurities mixed in the seeds. The sieved seeds will remain on the sieve plate 42. The sieved solid impurities will enter the impurity collection box 45 for collection. The impurity collection box 45 will be removed from the device housing 1 for cleaning. Then the seed collection box 46 will be placed in the device housing 1, and the sieve plate 42 will be pulled out from the enclosure 41. The sieved seeds will enter the seed collection box 46 for collection.

[0030] Specifically, in order to drive the sieve plate 42 to move back and forth to sieve sunflower seeds, and for the disassembly, cleaning, and collection of sunflower seeds, the drive mechanism 44 includes a second extension plate 441 fixedly installed at the other end of the sieve plate 42. A strip ring 442 is fixedly installed on the top of the second extension plate 441. A disc 443 is rotatably arranged above the second extension plate 441. A round pin 444 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the disc 443. The round pin 444 and the strip ring 442 are movably engaged. A support block 445 is fixedly installed on the other side of the device housing 1. A cylinder 446 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support block 445. A second support plate 447 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 446. A drive motor 448 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second support plate 447. The disc 44... The top of component 3 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 448. The rotation of the drive motor 448 drives the disc 443 to rotate, which in turn drives the pin 444 to rotate. The pin 444 moves within the strip ring 442, pressing the ring back and forth. This movement of the strip ring 442 drives the second extension plate 441 to move back and forth, which in turn drives the sieve plate 42 to move back and forth, sieving the sunflower seeds. The second extension plate 441 and the first extension plate 43 can extend the length of the sieve plate 42, preventing the sunflower seeds from falling from the bottom of the enclosure 41 during the swaying motion of the sieve plate 42. The retraction of the cylinder 446 causes the second support plate 447, drive motor 448, disc 443, and pin 444 to rise. During this rise, the pin 444 separates from the strip ring 442, directly pulling the sieve plate 42 out of the enclosure 41. The sieved sunflower seeds then enter the sunflower seed collection box 46 for collection.

[0031] To achieve the positioning and installation of the sieve plate 42, a positioning scale 47 is provided on the top of the second extension plate 441, and a positioning indicator block 48 is fixedly installed on the other side of the device housing 1. The positioning indicator block 48 corresponds to the positioning scale 47. When the round pin 444 enters the strip ring 442, the position indicated by the positioning indicator block 48 on the positioning scale 47 is observed and recorded. After the sieve plate 42 is cleaned, the sieve plate 42 is inserted into the surrounding plate 41, and the position is adjusted so that the positioning indicator block 48 is aligned with the previously recorded position of the positioning scale 47. At this time, the cylinder 446 extends and drives the strip ring 442 to descend, causing the round pin 444 to enter the strip ring 442.

[0032] To facilitate the replacement of the impurity collection box 45 and the sunflower seed collection box 46, the sealing plate 5 is opened using the second clip 6, the impurity collection box 45 is removed and cleaned, and then the sunflower seed collection box 46 is placed inside the device housing 1. This completes the replacement of the impurity collection box 45 and the sunflower seed collection box 46. It should be noted that the second clip 6 consists of a second pressing block and a second retaining sleeve. The second pressing block is fixedly installed on the front side of the sealing plate 5, and the second retaining sleeve is fixedly installed on the front side of the device housing 1. The second pressing block can be inserted into the second retaining sleeve. Pushing the second pressing block out of the second retaining sleeve will remove the sealing plate 5, and pressing the second pressing block into the second retaining sleeve will install the sealing plate 5 inside the device housing 1.

[0033] Working principle: During use, sunflower seeds are slowly placed into the outer casing 1 of the device from the feed hopper 2. As the seeds fall, the dust mixed in with them is relatively light, and the exhaust fan 33 sucks the dust into the dust guide pipe 32 through the dust suction hood 31. The dust then enters the water tank 35 through the dust guide pipe 32, where it is dissolved and absorbed by the water. This prevents the dust from being stirred up during the sieving process and effectively absorbs and treats the dust. The sucked-in air is discharged out of the water tank 35 through the air outlet 36. After long-term use, the valve body 38 can be opened to drain the wastewater from the water tank 35 through the drain pipe 37. The cover 39 can be opened from the top of the water tank 35 using the first buckle 310, making it easy to clean the dirt adhering to the inner wall of the water tank 35. After dust removal, the sunflower seeds enter the enclosure 41 under the action of gravity. The drive motor 448 rotates, which drives the disc 443 to rotate. The rotation of the disc 443 drives the pin 444 to rotate. The pin 444 moves inside the strip ring 442 and squeezes the strip ring 442 back and forth. The back and forth movement of the strip ring 442 drives the second extension plate 441 to move back and forth. The back and forth movement of the second extension plate 441 drives the sieve plate 42 to move back and forth to sieve the sunflower seeds, which can remove solid impurities mixed in the sunflower seeds. The second extension plate 441 and the first extension plate 43 can extend the length of the sieve plate 42 to prevent the sunflower seeds from falling from the bottom of the enclosure 41 during the back and forth swing of the sieve plate 42. The sieved sunflower seeds will remain on the sieve plate 42. The solid impurities after sieving will enter the impurity collection box 45 for collection. The sealing plate 5 will be opened by the second buckle 6 to remove the impurity collection box 45 for cleaning. Then, the sunflower seed collection box 46 will be placed inside the outer shell 1 of the device. The position indicated by the positioning indicator block 48 on the positioning scale 47 will be observed and recorded. Then, the cylinder 446 will be started. The retraction of 446 will drive the second support plate 447, the drive motor 448, the disc 443, and the round pin 444 to rise. During the rise of the round pin 444, it will separate from the strip ring 442. Then, the sieve plate 42 will be directly pulled out from the enclosure plate 41. The sieved sunflower seeds will enter the sunflower seed collection box 46 for collection.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
