Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean seed sorting technology, specifically a sorting device for soybean seeds. Background Technology
[0002] Before planting soybean seeds, they should be screened by size. Seeds of uniform size germinate at similar times, which is conducive to uniform emergence in the field and facilitates subsequent management. Small seeds may be poorly developed and grow weakly after germination. Removing them after sorting can improve the overall quality of seedlings.
[0003] To ensure that soybean seeds germinate at similar times and remove small seeds, a sorter is needed to separate the seeds by size. However, when using the existing sorter, the soybean seeds are discharged directly from the discharge hopper after sorting, and the surface lacks a blocking structure. As a result, when collecting the seeds, the seeds are constantly being discharged and fall out when the staff changes the collection container. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0024] 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.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0026] A soybean seed sorter includes:
[0027] The apparatus includes a frame 1, a sorting bin 11 movably connected to the surface of the frame 1, a back plate 12 installed on one side of the sorting bin 11, a discharge hopper 15 fixedly connected to the other side of the sorting bin 11, a screen 13 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the sorting bin 11, and a feed hopper 14 and a vibrating motor 16 fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 1. The working principle of the sorter is mainly based on the periodic vibration of the vibrating motor 16, which causes the seeds on the screen 13 to jump and slide, thereby achieving sieving. The process is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here. When the workers sieve soybean seeds, they first put the seeds into the feed hopper 14 and start the vibrating motor 16, which drives the sorting bin 11 to vibrate. The soybean seeds enter the sorting bin 11 and are sieved by the screen 13 and discharged from the discharge hoppers 15 of different groups. Thus, soybean seeds of the corresponding size can be collected according to the aperture size of the screen 13.
[0028] The gate mechanism includes a cover plate 2, which is movably connected to the inner surface of the discharge hopper 15. The surface of the discharge hopper 15 is fixedly connected to an mounting plate 21 and a side plate 25. The surface of the cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to a movable plate 22, a slide rail 26, and a handle 29. The surface of the mounting plate 21 has a rotating hole 23. The surface of the movable plate 22 is fixedly connected to a rotating block 24. The surface of the side plate 25 is fixedly connected to a screw 27. The surface of the slide rail 26 is abutted by a nut 28. The two sides of the cover plate 2 are connected to the discharge hopper 15 through the connection of the movable plate 22 and the mounting plate 21, and the connection of the slide rail 26 and the side plate 25, respectively. When the cover plate 2 abuts against the bottom of the inner side of the discharge hopper 15, it can form a space to temporarily store the discharged soybean seeds.
[0029] Furthermore, there are two sets of mounting plates 21 and movable plates 22. The two sets of mounting plates 21 are installed on both sides of the discharge hopper 15, and the two sets of movable plates 22 are installed on both sides of the cover plate 2. The movable plates 22 are attached to the surface of the mounting plates 21. The rotating block 24 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating hole 23. With the connection of the rotating hole 23 and the rotating block 24, the mounting plates 21 and movable plates 22 can be connected, thereby connecting the cover plate 2 and the discharge hopper 15, and enabling the cover plate 2 to rotate around the rotating block 24 as the center. The cross-sectional diameter of the rotating block 24 is the same as the diameter of the rotating hole 23.
[0030] Furthermore, two sets of side plates 25 and slide rails 26 are provided. The two sets of side plates 25 are installed on both sides of the discharge hopper 15, and the two sets of slide rails 26 are installed on both sides of the cover plate 2. The slide rails 26 are attached to the surface of the side plates 25. The surface of the side plates 25 is "L" shaped, and the surface of the slide rails 26 is arc-shaped. The center of the arc of the slide rails 26 is the center of the rotating block 24. With the side plates 25 and slide rails 26 connected at different positions, the cover plate 2 and the discharge port of the discharge hopper 15 can form openings of different sizes, thereby controlling the amount of soybean seeds discharged per unit time after sorting.
[0031] Furthermore, the screw 27 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the slide rail 26, one end of the screw 27 is fixedly connected to the surface of the side plate 25, and the other end of the screw 27 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the nut 28. The surface of the handle 29 is U-shaped, and both ends of the handle 29 are fixedly connected to the surface of the cover plate 2. The screw 27 is connected through the surface of the slide rail 26. With the connection of the screw 27 and the nut 28, the slide rail 26 can be limited and fixed to the surface of the side plate 25, thereby limiting and fixing the cover plate 2 to the inside of the discharge hopper 15. The cover plate 2 can be moved together by moving the handle 29.
[0032] Furthermore, the back plate 12 is provided with a connecting mechanism, which includes a fixing plate 3. The fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the sorting chamber 11. The back plate 12 is provided with an insertion hole 32. The fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected with a threaded block 31. The threaded block 31 is fitted with a nut 33. The nut 33 is fitted with a screw ring 34. Under the action of the fixing plate 3, the disassembled back plate 12 can be supported and its installation position can be limited. The fixing plates 3 on both sides of the sorting chamber 11 are placed opposite each other.
[0033] Furthermore, there are two sets of fixing plates 3 and insertion holes 32. The two sets of fixing plates 3 are installed on both sides of the sorting chamber 11, and the two sets of insertion holes 32 are opened on both sides of the back plate 12. Each set of fixing plates 3 and insertion holes 32 consists of two pieces. The threaded block 31 is inserted and connected to the surface of the insertion hole 32. Under the action of the insertion hole 32, the threaded block 31 can be installed. The threaded block 31 is connected to the surface of the back plate 12 through the insertion hole 32.
[0034] Furthermore, one end of the threaded block 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed plate 3, and the other end of the threaded block 31 is connected to the inner surface of the nut 33 by thread. The nut 33 is abutted against the surface of the back plate 12. Two sets of screw rings 34 are provided, and the two sets of screw rings 34 are fixedly connected to both sides of the nut 33. With the connection of the threaded block 31 and the nut 33, the connection effect between the sorting bin 11 and the back plate 12 can be achieved. The outer diameter of the nut 33 is larger than the diameter of the insertion hole 32. The surface of the screw ring 34 is arc-shaped, which can improve the comfort of the operator.
[0035] Working principle: When the sorter is screening soybean seeds and the collection container is about to be full and needs to be replaced, the operator first grasps the handle 29 and moves it inward to the discharge hopper 15, so that the cover plate 2 rotates around the rotating block 24. The rotating block 24 rotates on the surface of the rotating hole 23, which drives the movable plate 22 to slide on the surface of the mounting plate 21, and drives the inner side of the slide rail 26 to slide on the surface of the screw 27, while the outer side slides on the surface of the side plate 25. When the cover plate 2 is against the bottom of the inner side of the discharge hopper 15, the nut 28 is connected to the screw 27 by thread and tightened to abut against the surface of the slide rail 26, so as to complete the position limit and fixation of the cover plate 2. In this way, the cover plate 2 can block the sorted soybean seeds and prevent them from falling out due to continuous discharge.
[0036] When cleaning the sorter after use, first rotate the four sets of nuts 33 by turning the screw ring 34, so that the nuts 33 are no longer in contact with the back plate 12 and move on the surface of the threaded block 31 under the action of the threads. After the four sets of nuts 33 are removed from the threaded block 31, the back plate 12 is removed from the inner surface of the sorting chamber 11 to cancel the insertion effect between the threaded block 31 and the insertion hole 32. Then the staff can enter the sorting chamber 11 from the original installation position of the back plate 12 for cleaning.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
