Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton seed measurement technology, specifically a cotton seed length and width measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] Cottonseed is the seed of a plant in the genus *Gossypium* of the Malvaceae family. It is extracted from the cotton plant. The whole seed contains 15%-25% oil, and the kernel contains 32%-46% oil and about 30% protein. However, due to the presence of gossypol, it needs to be detoxified before it can be used as animal feed. Cottonseed has medicinal uses, including tonifying the liver and kidneys and strengthening the lower back and knees. Ancient China and India used its oil for medicine and lighting. In modern processing, cottonseed oil is refined for consumption, short cotton fibers can be used to produce cellulose, cotton kernels can be used as animal feed, and cotton hulls can be used as feed for ruminants. In cotton cultivation, the size of the cottonseed directly affects the sowing rate and germination rate. Measuring parameters such as length-to-width ratio and roundness can assess seed quality and ensure uniform sowing; therefore, length-to-width measuring devices are generally used to measure the length and width of cottonseeds.

[0003] Existing cottonseed length and width measuring devices can only measure either length or width at a time during the measurement process. After measurement, the cottonseeds need to be manually repositioned by the operator to obtain complete length and width data. This operation is cumbersome, reduces the efficiency of cottonseed length and width measurement, and diminishes the practicality of existing cottonseed length and width measuring devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cotton seed length and width measuring device, which has the advantages of being able to effectively measure the length and width of cotton seeds in one go, thus solving the problem of low practicality of existing cotton seed length and width measuring devices.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objective of effectively measuring the length and width of cotton seeds in one go, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cotton seed length and width measuring device, including a base plate, a first vertical plate fixed to the top of the base plate, a length measuring component for measuring the length of cotton seeds installed on the top of the base plate, and a width measuring component for measuring the width of cotton seeds installed on the top of the base plate. The width measuring assembly includes a second screw rotatably connected to the top of the base plate via a bearing. An adjusting block is threaded onto the outer side of the second screw. A rotating block is fixed to the top of the second screw. A moving block is fixed to the front of the adjusting block. An adjusting groove is formed on the right side of the moving block. An adjusting rod is slidably connected inside the adjusting groove. A spring is fixed inside the adjusting groove. A measuring block is fixed to the right end of the adjusting rod. Furthermore, the length measuring component includes a fixing plate fixed to the top of the base plate, a first screw threadedly connected to the inside of the fixing plate, a rotating block fixed to the right end of the first screw, an adjusting cylinder threadedly connected to the outside of the first screw, a limit block fixed to the bottom of the adjusting cylinder, a limit rod slidably connected inside the limit block, and a second vertical plate slidably connected to the top of the base plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the right side of the second vertical plate is fixed to the adjusting cylinder, and the right end of the limiting rod is fixed to the fixing plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixed to the left end of the limiting rod, and the adjustable distance of the limiting block outside the limiting rod is less than the adjustable distance of the first screw inside the adjusting cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the left end of the adjusting rod passes through the adjusting groove and the moving block in sequence and extends to the left side of the moving block.

[0009] Furthermore, the spring is located outside the adjusting rod, and the right side of the spring is fixed to the measuring block.

[0010] Furthermore, a first measuring ruler is fixed to the top of the base plate, and a second measuring ruler is fixed to the top of the base plate.

[0014] 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.

[0015] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A cotton seed length and width measuring device in this embodiment includes a base plate 1, a first vertical plate 2 fixed to the top of the base plate 1, a length measuring component 300 for measuring the length of cotton seeds installed on the top of the base plate 1, and a width measuring component 400 for measuring the width of cotton seeds installed on the top of the base plate 1. By using the base plate 1, the first vertical plate 2, the length measuring component 300, and the width measuring component 400 together, the length and width of cotton seeds can be measured simultaneously in actual use. This effectively avoids the situation where staff need to manually change the position of the cotton seeds and measure them again after the measurement is completed to obtain the complete length and width data of the cotton seeds. The operation is relatively simple, which improves the efficiency of measuring the length of cotton seeds and enhances the practicality of the cotton seed length and width measuring device.

[0016] In this embodiment, the length measuring component 300 is a structure used to measure the length of cotton seeds.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the length measuring assembly 300 includes a fixing plate 301 fixed to the top of the base plate 1. The fixing plate 301 is internally threaded with a first screw 302. A rotating block 303 is fixed to the right end of the first screw 302. An adjusting cylinder 304 is threaded to the outside of the first screw 302. A limit block 305 is fixed to the bottom of the adjusting cylinder 304. A limit rod 306 is slidably connected inside the limit block 305. A second vertical plate 307 is slidably connected to the top of the base plate 1.

[0018] It should be noted that the right side of the second vertical plate 307 is fixed to the adjusting cylinder 304 to ensure that the adjusting cylinder 304 can stably and effectively drive the second vertical plate 307 to move left and right for adjustment. The right end of the limiting rod 306 is fixed to the fixing plate 301 to fix the limiting rod 306 and ensure that the limiting rod 306 can achieve the expected limiting effect.

[0019] In addition, a limiting plate is fixed to the left end of the limiting rod 306, which limits the limiting block 305. The limiting block 305 on the back is detached from the limiting rod 306. The adjustable distance of the limiting block 305 outside the limiting rod 306 is less than the adjustable distance of the first screw 302 inside the adjusting cylinder 304, which effectively prevents the first screw 302 from detaching from the adjusting cylinder 304 during the adjustment process.

[0020] In addition, the first screw 302 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 301 through a bearing, ensuring that the first screw 302 can rotate stably and effectively in its original position.

[0021] In this embodiment, the width measuring component 400 is a structure used to measure the width of cotton seeds.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the width measuring assembly 400 includes a second screw 401 rotatably connected to the top of the base plate 1 via a bearing. An adjusting block 402 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the second screw 401. A rotating block 403 is fixed to the top of the second screw 401. A moving block 404 is fixed to the front of the adjusting block 402. An adjusting groove 405 is provided on the right side of the moving block 404. An adjusting rod 406 is slidably connected inside the adjusting groove 405. A spring 407 is fixed inside the adjusting groove 405. A measuring block 408 is fixed to the right end of the adjusting rod 406.

[0023] It should be noted that the left end of the adjusting rod 406 passes through the adjusting groove 405 and the moving block 404 in sequence and extends to the left side of the moving block 404, ensuring that the adjusting rod 406 can slide stably and effectively in the moving block 404, thereby ensuring that the measuring block 408 can move stably and effectively.

[0024] In addition, spring 407 is located outside of adjusting rod 406, and the right side of spring 407 is fixed to measuring block 408. Fixing spring 407 ensures that the elastic force generated by spring 407 can stably and effectively drive adjusting rod 406 to move.

[0025] In addition, a first measuring ruler 5 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1, and a second measuring ruler 6 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1, so as to ensure that the length and width of the cotton seeds can be effectively measured by reading the first measuring ruler 5 and the second measuring ruler 6. The back of the second vertical plate 307 is slidably connected to the first measuring ruler 5, so as to ensure that the first measuring ruler 5 can be effectively read by the second vertical plate 307.

[0026] Meanwhile, the height of the moving block 404 is equal to the height of the measuring block 408, which makes it convenient to read the value by means of the corresponding scale of the moving block 404 and the second measuring ruler 6, greatly reducing the possibility of errors when reading.

[0027] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows: In use, the cottonseed to be measured is placed on the base plate 1. Then, the rotating block 303 is rotated, causing the first screw 302 to rotate in its original position. The adjusting cylinder 304, under the internal thread rotation thrust and the limiting action of the limiting block 305, moves left and right outside the first screw 302. The limiting rod 306 makes the left and right movement of the limiting block 305 more stable, thereby driving the second vertical plate 307 to move left and right. The cottonseed is thus fixed by the cooperation of the first vertical plate 2 and the second vertical plate 307. Measurement is then achieved by reading the value using the first measuring ruler 5. During the leftward movement of the second vertical plate 307, it squeezes the measuring block 408. The measuring block 408 is moved to the left, which in turn moves the adjusting rod 406 to the left. At this time, the spring 407 is in a compressed state. After the length measurement is completed, the rotating block 403 is rotated, which drives the second screw 401 to rotate in its original position. Under the action of the internal thread rotation thrust, the adjusting block 402 moves up and down on the outside of the second screw 401. Thus, the measuring block 408 is moved up and down by the moving block 404 and the adjusting rod 406, so that the top of the measuring block 408 is in close contact with the top of the cotton seed. Then, the width of the cotton seed can be obtained by reading the scale of the second measuring ruler 6 corresponding to the bottom of the moving block 404, thus completing the measurement of the length and width of the cotton seed.
