Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sorting equipment technology, and in particular to a seed sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Before sowing, bean seeds often need to be sorted to separate impurities and ensure sowing quality. Existing seed sorting devices use fans to blow air through the falling seeds, thus removing small particles and dust and separating the seeds from the impurities. While this sorting process is achieved, the device requires multiple small-batch feeding operations (large quantities of seeds may reduce the effectiveness of air blowing), necessitating manual handling and making the feeding process time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN222241393U), which discloses a seed sorting device. The device includes a frame with a longitudinally extending discharge port on the right outer wall and a first guide plate rotatably mounted on the front end of the left inner wall. When using the device, workers can pour corn seeds into the feed hopper. The first guide plate, sieve holes, a first motor, and fan blades blow dust from the corn seeds into a dust collection box. Then, the first and second baffles, combined with the weight of the corn seeds, cause qualified seeds and empty seeds to fall onto the first and second guide plates respectively, thus achieving more effective seed sorting. While this patent achieves seed sorting, the feeding operation requires multiple small-batch feedings (large quantities of seeds may result in poor airflow and impurity removal), necessitating manual, time-consuming, and labor-intensive operation.

[0025] Examples, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a sorting component 3 for seed sorting is installed inside the processing box 1. A linear motor 4 is fixed to the side of the processing box 1. The linear motor 4 is designed to lift the material box 8 to a certain height, making feeding easier. The drive end of the linear motor 4 is fixedly connected to the open material box 8 via a connecting block. The open end of the material box 8 is slidably connected to the processing box 1. The top of the material box 8 is connected to the feed hopper 7. An electric push rod 9 is fixed to the side of the material box 8. The drive end of the electric push rod 9 passes through the material box 8 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 10. The electric push rod 9 works in conjunction with the push plate 10. The material box 8 is designed to push seeds into the processing box 1, and the baffle 11 is designed to prevent seeds from falling during the up-and-down movement of the material box 8. The side of the push plate 10 is fixedly connected to the baffle 11, which is slidably connected to the material box 8, via a connecting rod. The inner side of the processing box 1 is rotatably connected to two rotating shafts. The side of the processing box 1 is equipped with a drive motor 6 that provides power to the rotating shafts. The two rotating shafts are fixedly connected to an installation roller 12. The drive motor 6, in conjunction with the material feeding plate 5, can control the speed at which the seeds enter the processing box 1. The outer periphery of the installation roller 12 is fixedly connected to multiple material feeding plates 5 for controlling the feeding speed.

[0026] The inclined surface of the processing box 1 is connected to the maintenance door 2 by a hinge, and the bottom of the processing box 1 is equipped with multiple support legs.

[0029] Working principle

[0030] In use, the seed sorting device feeds the material into the material box 8 via the feed hopper 7. After feeding, the linear motor 4 is started to lift the material box 8 to a certain height. The electric push rod 9 is then started to drive the push plate 10 and the baffle 11 to move slowly horizontally, thus pushing the seeds into the processing box 1. During the pushing process, the drive motor 6 is started to drive the material feeding plate 5 to rotate. During the feeding process, two fans 31 are started to blow air, which blows dust and small particulate impurities into the collection box 32. After being blown, the seeds fall onto the screen 36 on the mounting frame 34. The vibration motor 35 is started to drive the mounting frame 34 to shake. After shaking, the seeds fall onto the auxiliary plate 37 and slide down.
