A counting and collecting device for pine litter seeds

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of collection equipment technology, and in particular to a counting and collecting device for fallen seeds of Pinus sylvestris. It includes a funnel-shaped receiving tray, with a conveying pipe fixedly installed at the bottom center of the tray. A collection bottle is movably inserted into the bottom end of the conveying pipe. Inside the conveying pipe, a spiral-shaped collecting mechanism for removing needles and collecting seeds is fixedly installed. This utility model uses a fixing mechanism to fix the funnel-shaped receiving tray at a suitable position near the periphery of the Pinus sylvestris. When seeds and needles fall into the funnel-shaped receiving tray, they slide into the conveying pipe. At this time, the collecting mechanism removes the needles and counts the fallen seeds. The seeds then fall into the collection bottle for collection. By removing needles before counting the seeds, the counted seed quantity closely matches the actual quantity, accurately reflecting the true seed situation and providing strong support for related statistical work, thus improving the practicality of the collection device.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collection equipment technology, and in particular to a counting and collection device for fallen seeds of Pinus sylvestris. Background Technology

[0002] The Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is an evergreen tree belonging to the genus Pinus in the family Pinaceae, and it has significant value in ecological, economic, and scientific research fields. Its fruits fall naturally after ripening, and this seed-falling is a key method for the natural reproduction and dispersal of the Scots pine, helping to maintain and expand its population distribution range and positively contributing to increasing forest biodiversity.

[0003] When pine seeds fall naturally, they are usually collected using equipment. Infrared sensors are used to count the number of seeds entering the equipment. However, during the collection process, pine needles also fall off, and some of them are mixed into the collection equipment along with the seeds. This results in a large error between the counted number of seeds and the actual number, making it impossible to accurately reflect the true seed situation. This interferes with the relevant statistical work and reduces the practicality of the collection device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a counting and collecting device for fallen pine seeds, comprising a funnel-shaped receiving tray, wherein a conveying pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the funnel-shaped receiving tray, and a collection bottle is movably inserted into the bottom end of the conveying pipe; The inside of the conveying pipe is fixedly equipped with a collection mechanism for expelling needle leaves and collecting seeds. The lower side of the funnel-shaped receiving plate is fixedly provided with a ring-shaped fixing mechanism for supporting the funnel-shaped receiving plate.

[0005] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the collection mechanism includes a conveying fan blade, an infrared beam sensor, and a fixed rubber pad. The conveying fan blade is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the conveying pipe near the top. A spiral screening groove is formed on the inner wall of the conveying pipe above the conveying fan blade. The spiral screening groove is offset from the conveying fan blade. The infrared beam sensor is embedded in the inner wall of the conveying pipe close to the bottom. The fixed rubber pad is fixedly installed on the outer side of the conveying pipe close to the bottom. The fixed rubber pad is movably engaged with the collection bottle.

[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the fixing mechanism includes a circular bracket and a positioning cone rod. The circular bracket is fixedly installed at the bottom of the funnel-shaped receiving plate away from the center, and the positioning cone rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the circular bracket in a uniform circular arrangement.

[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the cross-section of the conveying fan blade is designed so that the center is higher than the outer side.

[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a central control screen is fixedly installed on the outer side of the circular bracket by a horizontal support, and a solar photovoltaic panel is fixedly installed on the top of the funnel-shaped receiving plate by a circular bracket.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The funnel-shaped receiving tray is fixed in a suitable position near the periphery of the Pinus sylvestris by a fixing mechanism. When seeds and needles fall into the inside of the funnel-shaped receiving tray, they will slide into the conveying pipe. At this time, the collecting mechanism removes the needles and counts the fallen seeds. Then the seeds will fall into the collection bottle for collection. The removal of needles by the collecting mechanism before counting the seeds ensures that the counted number of seeds is highly consistent with the actual number, accurately reflecting the true situation of the seeds. This provides strong support for related statistical work and improves the practicality of the collection device. Attached Figure Description

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following provides a more detailed description of the utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a counting and collecting device for pine seed droppings, including a funnel-shaped receiving plate 1, a conveying pipe 2 fixedly installed at the bottom center of the funnel-shaped receiving plate 1, and a collection bottle 3 movably inserted into the bottom end of the conveying pipe 2. The inside of the conveying pipe 2 is fixedly equipped with a collection mechanism for expelling needle leaves and collecting seeds; The funnel-shaped receiving plate 1 has a fixed mechanism in a ring shape on its lower side for supporting the funnel-shaped receiving plate 1.

[0015] In this implementation scheme, the funnel-shaped receiving tray 1 is fixed at a suitable position near the periphery of the Pinus sylvestris by a fixing mechanism. When seeds and needles fall into the inside of the funnel-shaped receiving tray 1, they will slide into the conveying pipe 2. At this time, the collecting mechanism removes the needles and counts the fallen seeds. Then the seeds will fall into the collection bottle 3 for collection. Before counting the seeds, the collecting mechanism removes the needles, so that the counted number of seeds is highly consistent with the actual number, which can accurately reflect the true situation of the seeds, and thus provide strong support for related statistical work.

[0016] Specifically, the collection mechanism includes a conveying fan blade 4, an infrared beam sensor 42, and a fixing rubber pad 43. The conveying fan blade 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the conveying pipe 2 near the top. A spiral screening groove 41 is opened on the inner wall of the conveying pipe 2 above the conveying fan blade 4. The spiral screening groove 41 is offset from the conveying fan blade 4. The infrared beam sensor 42 is embedded in the inner wall of the conveying pipe 2 close to the bottom. The fixing rubber pad 43 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the conveying pipe 2 close to the bottom. The fixing rubber pad 43 is movably engaged with the collection bottle 3.

[0017] In this embodiment, the needles that fall into the conveying pipe 2 are removed by the collection mechanism, and the seeds are conveyed downwards and counted.

[0018] Specifically, the fixing mechanism includes a circular bracket 5 and a positioning cone rod 51. The circular bracket 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the funnel-shaped receiving plate 1 away from the center, and the positioning cone rod 51 is evenly arranged in a circle and fixedly installed at the bottom of the circular bracket 5.

[0019] In this embodiment, the funnel-shaped receiving plate 1 can remain horizontal on uneven ground through the cooperation of the internal structure of the fixing mechanism.

[0020] Specifically, the conveyor fan blades have a cross-section where the center is higher than the outer edge.

[0021] In this embodiment, the seeds and needles are made to adhere to the inner wall of the conveying pipe 2 as they rotate and fall along the conveying fan blade 4.

[0022] Specifically, a central control screen 6 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the circular bracket 5 via a horizontal bracket, and a solar photovoltaic panel 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the funnel-shaped receiving tray 1 via a circular bracket.

[0023] In this embodiment, the solar photovoltaic panel 7 provides power to the central control screen 6 and the infrared beam sensor 42, and the central control screen 6 observes the data transmitted by the infrared beam sensor 42.

[0024] In use, the solar photovoltaic panel 7 provides power to the central control screen 6 and the infrared beam sensor 42. The central control screen 6 observes the data transmitted by the infrared beam sensor 42. The positioning cone rod 51 is inserted into the ground near the perimeter of the Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. With the cooperation of multiple positioning cone rods 51, the circular bracket 5 is kept horizontal, thus allowing the funnel-shaped receiving tray 1 to be placed horizontally. When seeds and needles fall into the funnel-shaped receiving tray 1, they will slide towards the center of the funnel-shaped receiving tray 1 due to its shape, thus causing the seeds and needles to fall into the conveying pipe 2. Guided by the conveying fan blade 4, the seeds and needles slide down in a spiral shape. Because the cross-section of the conveying fan blade 4 is designed with the center higher than the outer side, the seeds and needles are close to the inner wall of the conveying pipe 2 when they slide down. The needles will pass through the spiral sieve 41 and fall to the outside of the conveying pipe 2. Since the diameter of the seeds is larger than the spiral... The width of the spiral sieve 41 is too small for the seeds to pass through. The needles are removed during the seed transport process by the cooperation of the conveying fan blade 4 and the spiral sieve 41. When the seeds fall from the conveying fan blade 4, they will block the infrared light when they pass through the infrared beam sensor 42, thus triggering the sensor to generate a signal. The signal will then be transmitted to the central control screen 6, and the seeds will fall into the collection bottle 3. The collection bottle 3 is connected to the conveying pipe 2 by squeezing the fixed rubber pad 43. Because the seeds are very light, the friction between the fixed rubber pad 43 and the collection bottle 3 after deformation can keep the collection bottle 3 stable. Before counting the seeds, the needles are removed by the collection mechanism, so that the counted number of seeds is highly consistent with the actual number, which can accurately reflect the true situation of the seeds, thus providing strong support for related statistical work and improving the practicality of the collection device.

[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
