Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seed screening technology, specifically relating to a seed screening device. Background Technology
[0002] Seeds are the reproductive bodies unique to gymnosperms and angiosperms, formed from ovules through pollination and fertilization. Seeds generally consist of three parts: the seed coat, the embryo, and the endosperm. Some plants have mature seeds with only the seed coat and the embryo. Seed formation allows the young sporophyte ovules to be protected by the parent plant and to receive sufficient nutrients, much like a mammalian fetus.
[0003] In agricultural production, seed screening is a key step in ensuring seed quality, improving germination rate and crop yield. Traditional seed screening methods mainly rely on vibrating screens, air separators or gravity sorting equipment. However, these technologies generally have the following problems: single-stage screening is difficult to completely separate light impurities (such as chaff and dust) from damaged seeds, requiring repeated operations, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; waste materials and qualified seeds need to be manually sorted or secondary processed, increasing labor costs and easily causing seed damage.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly efficient, automated, and adaptable seed sorting device to achieve accurate sorting, reduce manual intervention, improve production efficiency, and solve the problems existing in the current technology.
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a seed screening device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

A diversion device is installed at the output end of the first blower and the second blower. The diversion device passes through and is slidably connected to the first air inlet provided on one side of the primary screening chamber or the second air inlet provided on one side of the secondary screening chamber.
[0009] Furthermore, it should be noted that the lower end of the recovery chamber of the secondary screening chamber is provided with a discharge port, which is connected to one side of the first discharge pipe through a connecting pipe.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the second partition is provided with a waste trough at the lower end of one side of the waste bin, and the waste bin is provided with a triangular second guide plate at the lower end of the waste trough.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the lower ends of both the second and third separation chambers are fixedly connected to a first guide plate on one side of the second fixed frame.

[0026] Further as Figure 4As shown, it is worth noting that the upper end of the fourth separation chamber 402 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the third separation chamber 103, and the lower end of the fourth separation chamber 402 is fixedly connected to the second discharge pipe 6. Through the positional design of the fourth separation chamber 402, the third separation chamber 103 and the second discharge pipe 6, the waste of the device can be discharged in a centralized manner, automatically classified and collected, and reduced manual intervention.
[0027] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that a first fixed frame 2 or a second fixed frame 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the primary screening chamber 1 and the secondary screening chamber 4, respectively. A first blower 3 or a second blower 10 is installed in the middle of the first fixed frame 2 and the second fixed frame 9. A diversion device 12 is installed at the output end of the first blower 3 and the second blower 10. The diversion device 12 passes through and is slidably connected to the first air inlet 106 provided on one side of the primary screening chamber 1 or the second air inlet 401 provided on one side of the secondary screening chamber 4. The first blower 3 or the second blower 10 provides power for the wind screening of seeds.
[0028] Further as Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the lower end of the recovery chamber 4032 of the secondary screening chamber 4 is provided with a discharge port 408. The discharge port 408 is connected to one side of the first discharge pipe 5 through the connecting pipe 7. By connecting the discharge port 408 to the first discharge pipe 5 through the connecting pipe 7, qualified seeds can be discharged in a concentrated manner, automatically classified and collected, and reduced manual intervention.
[0029] This solution has the following working process: A blower (3 / 10) is used in conjunction with a corresponding diversion device 12. The airflow is evenly distributed to different separation chambers through the guide channel 1203 and the gas nozzle 1204. At the same time, through the layered design of the primary screening chamber 1 and the secondary screening chamber 4, combined with the separation of multiple separation chambers (101 / 102 / 103 / 402 / 403) and partitions (104 / 404 / 405), the airflow direction and intensity can be optimized according to the characteristics (weight or size) of different seeds, while enhancing the separation effect of light impurities (such as chaff and dust) from the seeds, improving screening efficiency and purity. At the same time, the secondary screening chamber 4 is equipped with a waste bin 4031 and a recycling bin 4032. Waste is discharged centrally through the waste trough 406 and the second guide plate 407. Qualified seeds are returned to the first discharge pipe 5 through the discharge port 408 and the connecting pipe 7, realizing the automated classification and collection of waste and seeds.
[0030] According to the above working process, the design of the fourth separation chamber 402, the third separation chamber 103 and the second discharge pipe 6 can enable the waste of the device to be discharged in a centralized manner, automatically classified and collected, and reduce manual intervention. The first blower 3 or the second blower 10 provides power for the wind screening of seeds. The discharge port 408 is connected to the first discharge pipe 5 through the connecting pipe 7, which can enable qualified seeds to be discharged in a centralized manner, automatically classified and collected, and reduce manual intervention.
[0031] Further as Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the second partition 404 is provided with a waste trough 406 at the lower end of one side of the waste bin 4031, and the waste bin 4031 is provided with a triangular second guide plate 407 at the lower end of the waste trough 406. Through the waste trough 406 and the triangular second guide plate 407, the waste after secondary screening and the waste after primary screening can be discharged in a concentrated manner.
[0032] Further as Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the lower ends of the second separation chamber 102 and the third separation chamber 103 are both fixedly connected to the first guide plate 105 on one side of the second fixed frame 9. The first guide plate 105 can restrict the position and movement trajectory of the materials in the second separation chamber 102 and the third separation chamber 103.
[0033] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that the upper end of the primary screening chamber 1 is equipped with a feed funnel 8, which facilitates the entry of raw materials.
[0034] Further as Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the diversion device 12 includes a housing 1201, which is inverted L-shaped. A diversion plate 1202 is provided inside the housing 1201. The diversion plate 1202 is also inverted L-shaped and has a guide groove 1203 inside. Several gas nozzles 1204 are provided on one side of the lower end of the diversion plate 1202. Through the diversion device 12, i.e. through the guide groove 1203 and the gas nozzles 1204, the airflow is evenly distributed to different separation chambers. The direction and intensity of the airflow can be optimized according to the characteristics, weight or size of different seeds.
[0035] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that dust covers 11 are installed on the outside of the air inlets of both the first blower 3 and the second blower 10. The dust covers 11 protect the air inlets of the blowers and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0036] In summary: The blower (3 / 10) and corresponding flow distribution device 12, through the guide channel 1203 and gas nozzle 1204, evenly distribute the airflow to different separation chambers. Simultaneously, the layered design of the primary screening chamber 1 and the secondary screening chamber 4, combined with multiple separation chambers (101 / 102 / 103 / 402 / 403) and partitions (104 / 404 / 405), allows for flexible optimization of airflow direction and intensity based on the characteristics (weight or size) of different seeds. This enhances the separation effect of light impurities (such as chaff and dust) from the seeds, improving screening efficiency and purity. Furthermore, the secondary screening chamber 4 includes a waste bin 4031 and a recovery bin 4032. Waste is discharged through a waste trough 406 and a second guide plate 40. 7. Qualified seeds are discharged centrally. They flow back to the first discharge pipe 5 through the discharge port 408 and connecting pipe 7, realizing the automated classification and collection of waste and seeds. Through the waste trough 406 and the triangular second guide plate 407, the waste after secondary screening and the waste after primary screening can be discharged centrally. Through the first guide plate 105, the position and movement trajectory of the materials in the second separation chamber 102 and the third separation chamber 103 can be restricted. Through the feed funnel 8, the raw materials can be easily entered. Through the diversion device 12, that is, through the guide trough 1203 and the gas nozzle 1204, the airflow is evenly distributed to different separation chambers. The airflow direction and intensity can be optimized according to the characteristics, weight or size of different seeds. Through the dust cover 11, the blower air inlet is protected and the equipment life is extended.
