[0046] When performing seed selection, the specific steps taken by those skilled in the art are as follows:
[0047] S1: First, place the seeds to be selected into the storage cylinder 31. Then, place the storage cylinder 31 into the water cylinder 20 by the electric push rod 30. At this time, the water level submerges the storage cylinder 31 and one end of the first water inlet pipe 41.

[0048] S2: The submersible motor 34 causes the stirring rod 36 to stir the seeds so that the buried substandard seeds and empty shells float in the water;
[0049] S3: The first water pump 40 causes unqualified seeds and empty shells to flow with the water into the circular plate 48 in the collection cylinder 43. At this time, the water will flow through the second filter hole on the hollow tube 49 to the bottom of the collection cylinder 43. After flowing in, the second water pump 44 will cause the filtered water to flow back into the water cylinder 20. During this process, unqualified seeds and empty shells will remain in the water cylinder 20. Thus, the seeds can be graded and screened.
[0050] S4: When it is necessary to discharge substandard seeds and empty shells, the circular plate 48 can be raised through the hollow tube 49;
[0051] S5: After the seeds are graded, the storage cylinder 31 will be raised by the electric push rod 30. After the water is drained, the qualified seeds in the storage cylinder 31 can be discharged through the discharge pipe 32. After the discharge, the qualified seeds can be processed for subsequent operations, including drying.
