[0026] Next, turn on the forward and reverse motor 54 to make the screw 53 rotate, and the screw 53 will drive the moving block 55 to rotate and move. At this time, the positioning rod 56 can block the moving block 55 from rotating, so that the moving block 55 can only move back and forth in the horizontal direction. The moving block 55 will use the mounting rod 6 to drive the push plate 7 to move, so that the push plate 7 moves inside the tomato seed breeding box 1.
[0027] Next, the push plate 7 will push the floating shriveled tomato seeds to the discharge port 8, so that the shriveled tomato seeds can fall from the discharge port 8 into the collection box 9, which can screen the tomato seeds.
[0028] Finally, after the shriveled tomato seeds have been screened, open the drain valve to allow the water inside the tomato seed selection box 1 to drain out through the drain pipe 11. Then, start the electric push rod 3 to extend it. The electric push rod 3 will also cause the net box 2 to move vertically upward, so that the net box 2 can be moved out of the tomato seed selection box 1 and moved to the opening at the top of the tomato seed selection box 1. This makes it convenient for staff to take out the high-quality tomato seeds screened out inside the net box 2.
