Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically a seed screening device for Trichosanthes kirilowii seedling cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, the quality of Trichosanthes kirilowii seed screening directly affects seedling survival rate and subsequent yield. Currently, Trichosanthes kirilowii seed screening mainly relies on traditional vibrating screens or drum screens, but this method has the following prominent problems: the feed inlet of existing devices is fixed, and the seeds fall into the central area of the screen, easily forming piles. This prevents the upper seeds from making sufficient contact with the screen, resulting in missed screenings and requiring multiple screenings. This increases the number of screening steps, and the pile-up problem also increases the risk of mechanical crushing damage. In particular, the seed coat of Trichosanthes kirilowii is brittle, and the breakage rate can be as high as 15%-20%, seriously affecting the germination rate. Utility Model Content

[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. 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.
[0024] Trichosanthes kirilowii is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, with its fruit, roots, and seeds all possessing medicinal value, and market demand continues to grow. In large-scale cultivation of Trichosanthes kirilowii, seed quality directly affects germination rate, seedling growth, and subsequent yield. Traditional manual seed selection is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and heavily influenced by subjective judgment, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency and precise seedling requirements of modern agriculture. Therefore, developing automated and intelligent seed selection devices has become a key step in improving the industrialization level of Trichosanthes kirilowii cultivation.
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] Given the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as poor screening effectiveness and low efficiency, please refer to... Figures 1-4This embodiment provides a seed screening device for Trichosanthes kirilowii seedling cultivation, which allows seeds to be evenly dispersed and fall onto the entire area of the screen 2, increasing the coverage rate from 60%-70% in traditional equipment to over 95%. This avoids seed accumulation in the center of the screen 2, reduces missed screenings and repeated screenings, and achieves higher screening accuracy. The device includes a frame 1, with the screen 2 movably mounted inside the frame 1. A vibration mechanism 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the screen 2 and mounted on the inner side of the frame 1. One end of the vibration mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 4 mounted on the side wall of the frame 1. A hopper 7 is located above the screen 2, and a moving mechanism 6 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the hopper 7 and mounted on the inner side of the frame 1. The moving mechanism 6 is connected to the vibrating mechanism 3 via belt drive assembly 5. Below the screen 2, there is a cleaning mechanism 9 fixed to the inside of the frame 1. The cleaning mechanism 9 is connected to the vibrating mechanism 3 via belt drive assembly 8. The vibrating mechanism 3, the moving mechanism 6 and the cleaning mechanism 9 are driven simultaneously by the drive motor 4, which reduces the number of power components, simplifies the structure and reduces costs. Vibration, feeding and cleaning are carried out synchronously, which improves the efficiency of the entire screening process. When in use, the seeds are put into the hopper 7, and then the drive motor 4 is started to make the vibrating mechanism 3, the moving mechanism 6 and the cleaning mechanism 9 run synchronously, so as to carry out the screening work.
[0027] In traditional systems, the hopper 7 remains stationary, causing seeds to concentrate in the center of the screen 2, leading to problems such as accumulation, leakage, and blockage. For solutions to this problem, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 3 The moving mechanism 6 includes a guide rail 63 fixed to the inner side of the frame 1. A threaded block 62 fixed to the side wall of the hopper 7 is slidably disposed in the guide rail 63. The threaded block 62 is screw-driven to a reciprocating screw 61. The reciprocating screw 61 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. One end of the reciprocating screw 61 is driven to the vibration mechanism 3 via a belt drive assembly 5. The reciprocating screw 61 drives the hopper 7 to move laterally back and forth along the guide rail 63, so that the seeds are evenly distributed to the entire area of the screen 2, solving the problem of insufficient screening caused by accumulation. The belt drive assembly 5 drives the reciprocating screw 61 to rotate, which can form a mechanical linkage with the vibration mechanism 3. No additional motor is needed to drive the hopper 7, which can reduce energy consumption and make the structure compact.
[0028] Traditional vibrating screens often use eccentric wheels or a single connecting rod 32 for drive, resulting in uneven vibration amplitude of the screen 2 and poor screening effect in the edge area of the screen 2. For this problem, please refer to... Figure 3 The vibration mechanism 3 includes a crankshaft 31 rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame 1. One end of the crankshaft 31 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 4. Two connecting rods 32 are hinged on the crankshaft 31, and a fixing plate 33 is hinged to the top of each of the two connecting rods 32. The fixing plate 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screen 2. The crankshaft 31 drives the bottom of the screen 2 to vibrate evenly through the two connecting rods 32, avoiding the tilting of the screen 2 or insufficient local amplitude caused by the traditional single connecting rod 32, and improving the screening uniformity.
[0029] The presence of impurities such as soil, weeds, and twigs in Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds affects seed purity. For this issue, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3 The impurity removal mechanism 9 includes a fixed shell 93 fixed to the inner side of the frame 1. A rotating shaft 91 is rotatably connected inside the fixed shell 93. One end of the rotating shaft 91 is connected to the vibration mechanism 3 via a belt drive assembly 2. Multiple fan blades 92 arranged in a ring array are fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 91. The vibration of the screen 2 is linked with the impurity removal mechanism 9 via the belt drive assembly 2, causing the fan blades 92 to rotate and generate outward airflow, thereby removing impurities such as soil, weeds, and branches from the seeds. At the same time, some shriveled seeds can also be separated by airflow to improve seed purity.
[0030] Furthermore, two sets of cylinders 16 are installed at the bottom of the hopper 7, and each set of cylinders 16 is fixedly connected to a baffle 17 at the bottom of the hopper 7; the movement of the baffle 17 can be controlled by the operation of the cylinders 16, thereby realizing the discharge of materials.
[0031] When the seeds fall as the screen 2 vibrates, they tend to fall off from the sides of the screen 2. To address this issue, two symmetrically arranged baffles 10 are fixed on the surface of the screen 2 near the bottom. The baffles 10 gather the seeds to the center, allowing all the seeds to fall into the feed trough 13 and reducing leakage.
[0032] Furthermore, two sliders 11 are fixed on the side wall of the screen 2 near the bottom, and the two sliders 11 are respectively slidably mounted on two slide rails 12, both of which are fixed to the inner wall of the frame 1; through the cooperation of the sliders 11 and the slide rails 12, the screen 2 vibrates more smoothly.
[0033] Furthermore, a feeding trough 13 is fixedly provided on one side of the frame 1 near the bottom of the screen 2; the feeding trough 13 can collect the screened seeds and drop them from one side for easy collection, and a guide plate 14 is fixedly provided inside the frame 1 directly below the screen 2. The guide plate 14 is inclined, and a receiving box 15 is provided on one side below the guide plate 14; the screened seeds and impurities are collected into the receiving box 15 through the guide plate 14 for easy removal and processing.
