Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically a turning machine for the production of seeds of non-major crops. Background Technology

[0002] Seed production is a crucial part of agricultural development, and the demand for seeds of non-major crops is increasing. For example, in the production of seeds of vegetables, flowers, and traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, the turning process plays a vital role in seed quality.

[0003] A search revealed existing technology (application number: CN115930563B), which describes "a corn seed drying device." This utility model uses a turning mechanism composed of a first circular plate, a second circular plate, and a connecting rod to drive multiple plug-in drying cylinders to rotate synchronously.

[0004] However, while existing technologies can achieve separate tumbling and drying of corn seeds, avoiding accumulation and reducing coating damage, they still have some shortcomings: the device relies on an overall rotating drying drum structure, resulting in a large equipment size and high energy consumption. In addition, the fixed plug-in connection of each drying drum makes disassembly and maintenance complex, making it difficult to meet the needs of frequent variety changes and small-batch processing in the production of non-major crop seeds. Furthermore, the device has limitations in dealing with seeds of different particle sizes, densities, and moisture contents, affecting its applicability in multi-variety seed production lines. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a turning machine for the production of non-major crop seeds.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The filter assembly also includes: filter two, which is slidably mounted on the main body cylinder and rotatably mounted inside filter one, to cooperate with filter one to prevent seeds from entering the cavity; a rotating shaft, which is fixed to filter two and used to drive filter two to rotate; and a fastening nut, which is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft and used to fix the relative position of filter two and the main body cylinder.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The material turning assembly also includes a material turning main shaft, and the material turning blades are bolted to the material turning main shaft to drive the material turning blades to rotate.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a turning machine for non-major crop seed production, comprising: a main body assembly including a main cylinder 101 for holding seeds to be turned; a filter assembly including a filter screen 201, which is bolted to the inner wall of the main cylinder 101; a turning assembly including a turning blade 301, which is rotatably disposed inside the main cylinder 101 for turning the seeds; and a discharge assembly including a discharge hopper 401, which is welded to the bottom of the main cylinder 101 for guiding the seeds to fall in a concentrated manner.

[0033] In this embodiment, the main body component, the filter component, the turning component, and the discharge component constitute a turning machine for the production of non-major crop seeds according to this application.

[0034] It should also be noted that the non-major crop seeds mentioned in this application may include vegetables, flowers, traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, etc. Figure 1 In this embodiment, vegetables are used as an example of non-major crop seeds. Of course, other types of non-major crop seeds can also adopt a similar structure, which will not be described in detail below.

[0035] Understandable Figure 1 The diagram only schematically illustrates some of the components of the material turning machine; the actual shape, size, location, and construction of these components are not subject to change. Figure 1 Due to limitations, the material turning machine can also include, compared to Figure 1 More or fewer parts.

[0036] It should also be understood that both Motor 1 and Motor 2 were purchased from the market and are common knowledge in this field. They are only used and not modified, so the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the vegetable seeds to be processed are poured into the main cylinder 101, the turning paddle 301 rotates to turn the seeds, the filter screen 201 filters the seeds, and the processed seeds are discharged through the hopper 401; thus realizing batch turning and preliminary filtration of seeds, laying the foundation for subsequent processing.

[0038] Specifically, the main components also include: a cylinder cover 102, which is connected to the top of the main cylinder 101 by a snap fastener, for closing the main cylinder 101; and a support frame 103, which is welded to the bottom of the main cylinder 101, for supporting the main cylinder 101.

[0039] In this embodiment, a feeding hopper may be provided on the cylinder cover 102; the cylinder cover 102 is fastened and closed by a buckle to seal the main cylinder, and the support frame 103 is stably in contact with the ground at the bottom to support the weight of the main cylinder and the seeds inside; this improves the sealing and stability of the equipment and avoids seed contamination or equipment tipping during processing.

[0040] Specifically, the main components also include: an air path assembly, including an air inlet 104, which is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the main cylinder 101 for supplying airflow into the main cylinder 101; an air outlet 105, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main cylinder 101 on the side away from the air inlet 104 for guiding airflow out; and a cavity 106, which is opened inside the main cylinder 101 for heat exchange with the seeds inside the main cylinder 101.

[0041] As a preferred implementation, the air inlet 104 is connected to an external hot air blower, and the air outlet 105 is connected to an external one-way valve to prevent backflow of airflow. The airflow enters the main cylinder through the air inlet 104, passes through the seed layer, and is discharged from the air outlet 105, carrying away moisture. The cavity 106 exchanges heat with the seeds through a filter screen, thereby realizing the regulation of airflow heat exchange between the seeds and adapting to the processing needs of different seeds.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Based on Example 1, in order to further improve the material turning efficiency, a filter assembly is arranged inside the main cylinder 101;

[0044] Specifically, the filter assembly also includes: a second filter 202, which is slidably disposed on the main cylinder 101 and rotatably disposed inside the first filter 201, for use in conjunction with the first filter 201 to prevent seeds from entering the cavity 106; a rotating shaft 203, which is fixedly connected to the second filter 202, for driving the second filter 202 to rotate; and a fastening nut 204, which is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 203, for fixing the relative position of the second filter 202 and the main cylinder 101.

[0045] In this embodiment, rotating the rotating shaft 203 can adjust the overlap area of ​​the mesh openings of filter screen 202 and filter screen 201 (the filtration area is the largest when they are completely aligned, and the filtration accuracy can be finely adjusted when they are partially misaligned). After adjustment, the position is locked by tightening the nut 204, and the double filters work together to block seeds from entering the cavity; this improves filtration reliability and allows for flexible adjustment of filtration accuracy to suit seeds of different particle sizes.

[0046] Example 3:

[0047] Based on Example 2, in order to further improve the material turning efficiency, a material turning component is arranged inside the main cylinder 101;

[0048] Specifically, the material turning assembly also includes: a material turning main shaft 302, and the material turning blade 301 is bolted to the material turning main shaft 302 for driving the material turning blade 301 to rotate.

[0049] With this configuration, the turning main shaft 302 rotates under external power, driving the turning blades 301 to move around the main shaft, turning the seeds at the bottom of the main cylinder upwards, and breaking up the clumps of seeds; thus achieving full-range turning of the seeds, avoiding local stagnation, and improving the uniformity of processing.

[0050] Specifically, the material turning assembly also includes: a transmission assembly, including a gear 303 fixedly connected to the top of the material turning main shaft 302 for driving the material turning main shaft 302 to rotate; a gear 304 meshing with the gear 303 for driving the gear 303 to rotate; and a motor 305 fixedly connected to the cylinder cover 102, with its output end fixedly connected to the gear 304 for driving the gear 304 to rotate.

[0051] Among them, after the motor 305 starts, it drives the gear 304 to rotate. Through gear meshing, it drives the gear 303 and the turning shaft 302 to rotate. The speed reduction transmission can reduce the speed of the turning blade 301, avoiding damage to the seeds due to excessive speed. It provides stable power for the turning component, and at the same time protects the seeds by reducing speed, ensuring that the turning process is gentle and efficient.

[0052] Specifically, the discharge assembly also includes: a discharge push plate 402, rotatably disposed inside the hopper 401, for pushing seeds out; a discharge shaft 403, fixedly connected to the discharge push plate 402 and rotatably connected through the hopper 401, for driving the discharge push plate 402 to rotate; a second motor 404, disposed below the main cylinder 101, with its output end connected to the discharge shaft 403 via a coupling, for driving the discharge shaft 403 to rotate; and a mounting plate 405, fixedly connected to the support frame 103, with the second motor 404 bolted to the mounting plate 405 for supporting the second motor 404.

[0053] In this embodiment, after the second motor 404 starts, it drives the discharge shaft 403 to rotate through the coupling. The discharge push plate 402 rotates with the shaft, continuously pushing the seeds accumulated in the hopper 401 towards the outlet, avoiding blockage caused by the seeds falling poorly due to gravity; realizing active and uniform discharge of seeds, solving the problem of discharge blockage, and improving discharge efficiency and stability.

[0054] In actual use, firstly, according to the seed particle size, loosen the fastening nut 204, and adjust the contact angle between filter screen 202 and filter screen 201 by rotating shaft 203 to ensure the pore size is suitable (adjust the gap smaller for small-diameter seeds and larger for large-diameter seeds). After adjustment, tighten the fastening nut 204 to lock it. Open the buckle of the cylinder cover 102 and pour the non-major crop seeds to be processed into the top opening of the main cylinder 101. The seeds fall to the bottom of the cylinder by gravity, avoiding excessive input. Close the cylinder cover 102 and fasten the buckle to form a closed space to prevent seeds from splashing and airflow from leaking out during material turning. Start motor 305, which drives the turning main shaft 302 and turning blades 301 to rotate through the meshing transmission of gear 2 304 and gear 1 303. The blades move the seeds in the main cylinder 101, achieving up-and-down turning and uniform mixing. Simultaneously, the air circuit system is turned on, and the airflow passes through... Air enters the cavity 106 through the inlet 104 and exchanges heat with the seeds through the cylinder wall (such as hot air drying). The exchanged airflow is discharged from the outlet 105. Filter screen 1 201 and filter screen 2 202 prevent seeds from entering the air path, ensuring smooth flow. After the material is turned over, motor 1 305 and the air path system are turned off. Motor 2 404 is started, and the discharge shaft 403 and discharge push plate 402 are driven to rotate in the hopper 401 through the coupling, pushing the turned seeds out of the discharge port of the hopper 401 and collected in the container. After the discharge is completed, motor 2 404 is turned off, the cylinder cover 102 is opened, the residual seeds in the main cylinder 101 are cleaned, filter screen 1 201 and filter screen 2 202 are removed and rinsed (especially for sticky seeds), the filter screens are adjusted back to the initial angle, the air path interface is closed, and the bolt connections are checked for looseness to ensure that the equipment is ready for the next use.

[0055] Both Motor 1 (305) and Motor 2 (404) are electrically connected to the PLC controller, which is electrically connected to an external power supply. The PLC controller facilitates the power supply control of the electrical equipment, ensuring that the equipment is powered on when needed, thus avoiding situations where power cannot be supplied when power is required.

[0056] It should be noted that the controller can be a conventional known device that is controlled by a computer or other means. The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific embodiments of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
