Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural breeding technology, specifically to a buoyancy seed selection device for crop breeding. Background Technology

[0002] A buoyancy seed selection device is an agricultural machine that uses the principle of buoyancy to separate and select crop seeds. This device usually includes a container filled with a salt bath solution or other liquid medium with a density slightly greater than the average density of the seeds. When the seeds are placed in the container, due to the density difference of different seeds, they will be subjected to different buoyancy in the liquid. Plump and high-quality seeds will sink to the bottom, while empty and low-quality seeds will float on the surface or be suspended in the middle layer. The operator can collect the sunken seeds to achieve the purpose of seed selection.

[0003] However, traditional buoyancy seed sorting equipment suffers from uneven buoyancy sorting due to the tendency of plump seeds to pile up after they come into contact with water. Furthermore, it cannot flexibly adjust sorting parameters according to the characteristics of different crop seeds (such as rice and wheat). Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a buoyancy seed selection device for crop breeding, which has the advantage of automatically sorting multiple crop seeds and solves the problems of easy accumulation and inflexible adjustment of traditional buoyancy seed selection devices.

[0006] The sorting mechanism includes a partition and a T-shaped slide plate. The front and rear sides of the partition are connected to the inner wall of the sorting pool through the T-shaped slide plate. Two first guide plates are fixedly installed on the left side of the partition. Several guide holes are evenly opened on the left side of the partition and between the two first guide plates. A second guide plate is arranged on the left side of the partition and between the two guide holes.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner walls of both the front and rear sides of the sorting pool are provided with T-shaped grooves that are adapted to the T-shaped slide plate, and the inner wall of the T-shaped groove and the outer wall of the T-shaped slide plate are in a sliding connection relationship.

[0008] Furthermore, the two separate ends of the first guide plates are respectively attached to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the sorting tank.

[0009] Furthermore, the bubble generating assembly consists of an oxygen supply unit, a bubble generator, and an airflow pipe. The oxygen supply unit is fixedly installed on the outer left wall of the sorting tank, and the bubble generator is fixedly installed on the inner left wall of the sorting tank. The oxygen supply unit and the bubble generator are connected by an airflow pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the drainage assembly includes a water pump, which is fixedly installed on the right outer wall of the sorting tank. The water pump is fixedly connected to a water pumping pipe extending into the sorting tank at its pumping end. A filter cover is provided at one end of the water pump extending into the sorting tank, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the water pump's draining end.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 The buoyancy seed selection device for crop breeding in this embodiment includes a sorting pool 1. The sorting pool 1 is provided with a bubble generating component 2, a sorting mechanism 4 and a drainage component 3 arranged from left to right inside the sorting pool 1.

[0022] The sorting mechanism 4 includes a partition 401 and a T-shaped slide plate 402. Both the front and rear sides of the partition 401 are connected to the inner wall of the sorting pool 1 via the T-shaped slide plate 402. The inner walls of both the front and rear sides of the sorting pool 1 are provided with T-shaped grooves adapted to the T-shaped slide plate 402, and the inner wall of the T-shaped groove is slidably connected to the outer wall of the T-shaped slide plate 402. The partition 401 is equipped with partition sets of different apertures, which can respectively correspond to seeds of crops such as rice and wheat. Two first guide plates 403 are fixedly installed on the left side of the partition 401. The disjoint ends of the two first guide plates 403 are respectively attached to the front and rear inner walls of the sorting pool 1. The left side of the partition 401 and located between the two first guide plates 403... A number of flow guide holes 404 are evenly distributed in the sorting tank 1. A second flow guide plate 405 is set on the left side of the partition 401 between two flow guide holes 404. When the crop seeds enter the sorting tank 1, the air bubbles and water flow first suspend the seeds. The plump seeds have a high density and will sink to the bottom of the sorting tank 1 and enter the right side of the partition 401 through the flow guide holes 404. The shriveled seeds and impurities have a low density and float to the left side of the partition 401. The design of the first flow guide plate 403 and the second flow guide plate 405 can effectively prevent the plump seeds from accumulating when passing through the flow guide holes 404. Finally, the design of the T-shaped slide plate 402 allows the staff to freely change different partitions 402 to facilitate the sorting of different types of crop seeds.

[0023] In the case implementation, the bubble generating component 2 consists of an oxygen supply unit 201, a bubble generator 202, and an airflow pipe 203. The oxygen supply unit 201 is fixedly installed on the outer left side of the sorting tank 1, and the bubble generator 202 is fixedly installed on the inner left side of the sorting tank 1. The oxygen supply unit 201 and the bubble generator 202 are connected by the airflow pipe 203. The microbubbles generated by this design can improve the seed suspension effect.

[0024] In the implementation of the case, the drainage component 3 includes a water pump 301. The water pump 301 is fixedly installed on the outer right side of the sorting tank 1. The water pump 301 is fixedly connected to a water pump pipe 302 extending into the sorting tank 1. A filter cover 303 is provided at one end of the water pump pipe 302 extending into the sorting tank 1. The water pump 301 is fixedly connected to a drain pipe 304. This component design can effectively discharge the liquid in the sorting tank 1. At the same time, the design of the filter cover 303 can also effectively prevent seeds from entering the drain pipe 304 and affecting the drainage effect.

[0025] In the implementation of the case, a water inlet pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the sorting tank 1, and a discharge port 6 is fixedly installed on the right side wall of the sorting tank 1. The bottom wall of the sorting tank 1 is inclined at an angle of 20°. When the liquid enters the sorting tank 1 from the water inlet pipe 5, due to the inclination of the bottom wall of the sorting tank 1, the seeds accumulated at the bottom of the tank are affected by the inclination and gather at the bottom right side of the sorting tank 1. At the same time, the discharge port 6 effectively discharges the qualified seeds from the sorting tank 1.

[0026] In the implementation of the case, a sensor plate 7 is fixedly installed on the inner rear wall of the sorting tank 1. The sensor plate 7 is equipped with a water level sensing module and a density detection module, which can monitor and set the water level height and the amount of air bubbles in the water. If the water level or the amount of air bubbles is insufficient, the water inlet pipe or the air bubble generating component 2 can be automatically opened to supplement it. A transparent observation window 8 is provided on the front wall of the sorting tank 1 to facilitate observation of the sorting process. Four anti-slip bases 9 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the sorting tank 1. A controller 10 is provided on the front side of the sorting tank 1 and to the right of the transparent observation window 8. The controller 10 is electrically connected to the electronic components in this patent through wires, so as to facilitate the operation of the controller 10 to control the operation of the electronic components.

[0027] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps:

[0028] 1) First, the bubbles and water flow suspend the seeds. Plump seeds have a high density and will sink to the bottom of the sorting tank 1 and enter the right side of the baffle 401 through the guide hole 404. Shriveled seeds and impurities have a low density and float to the left side of the baffle 401.

[0029] 2) The design of the first guide plate 403 and the second guide plate 405 can effectively prevent the plump seeds from accumulating when passing through the guide hole 404;

[0030] 3) Finally, the design of the T-shaped slide 402 allows staff to freely change different partitions 402, making it easier to sort different types of crops.

[0031] In summary, this buoyancy seed selection device for crop breeding, through the setting of a sorting mechanism 4, allows crop seeds to enter the sorting pool 1. Firstly, air bubbles and water flow suspend the seeds. Plump seeds, with a high density, sink to the bottom of the sorting pool 1 and enter the right side of the baffle 401 through the guide hole 404. Shriveled seeds and impurities, with a low density, float to the left side of the baffle 401. Then, the design of the first guide plate 403 and the second guide plate 405 can effectively prevent plump seeds from accumulating when passing through the guide hole 404. Finally, the design of the T-shaped slide plate 402 allows the operator to freely change different baffles 402, facilitating the sorting of different types of crops. This solves the problems of traditional buoyancy seed selection devices, where plump seeds tend to accumulate after contact with water, resulting in uneven buoyancy sorting effects, and the inability to flexibly adjust sorting parameters according to the characteristics of different crop seeds (such as rice and wheat).

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
