Abstract

OCR 06WT The seed separator consists of three main parts: the threshing unit, the vibrating sieve unit, and the... The wind-blown threshing unit rotates and crushes the flower cluster containing the seeds with threshing brushes, causing the seeds to be released from the cluster. Flower petals, debris, and seeds fall into the second section, a vibrating sieve that separates larger fragments. The seeds are extracted; the air blower system removes lighter debris, leaving only clean seeds. The user can adjust this. The massage brush features include adjustable angle of the oscillating grate, grate hole size, and adjustable rotation speed. The speed of the kneading action, the vibration speed of the sieve, and the speed of the airflow to blow away the debris are all factors to consider.

OCR 06WT 1. The seed separator consists of three main parts: the threshing unit, the vibrating sieve unit, and the air blowing unit. The threshing assembly rotates and crushes the flower cluster containing the seeds with threshing brushes, causing the seeds to be released from the cluster. Flower petals, debris, and seeds fall into a vibrating sieve. The vibrating sieve separates out larger debris. The seeds are extracted, and an air blower system removes lighter debris, leaving only the clean seeds. It has a distinctive feature: the structure of the seed separator consists of a feeding tray (1) which serves to convey. The flower stalk flows down into the massage unit. The massage unit is a cylindrical, horizontally mounted massager consisting of: The massage strip (2) connects to the central shaft (3), which is shaped like a cylindrical rod and connects to... The shaft (12) of the electric motor (10) at the other end of the massage bar (2) is attached to a number of massage brushes (4). Its function is to thresh the seeds from the flower cluster. The threshing brush has soft bristles, so the residue left behind during threshing is not easily removed. Too fine, and also does not cause damage to the seeds from kneading. The characteristics of the kneading brush (4) can Switch to a rubber or wire brush when using on stiff inflorescences. Seeds that detach from the inflorescence will fall into the cluster. The oscillating screen passes through the screen holes (5). The screen hole size (5) can be adjusted to change the diameter from 1. From millimeters to 10 millimeters, to suit the type of seed, a threshing unit is installed on either side. Lever (6) is used to open the transparent glass cover of the massage unit for cleaning, and lever (7) is used to open compartment (8). Inside the threshing unit, to spin the stems and flower fragments from which the seeds have been removed, to move through the outlet (8). From the outlet of the machine (9), the rotating mechanism of the massage unit consists of an electric motor (10) which provides power. The chain (11) goes to the shaft (12) of the central shaft (3), and the speed of the electric motor (10) can be adjusted at the control panel. With the speed adjustment button (25) of the massage brush (4) from 100 to 1000 revolutions per minute. A rocking grate set consisting of two vertically offset metal layers, the top layer being a perforated grate (13). It serves to prevent debris larger than the hole from falling into the lower layer. The size of the hole can be adjusted in diameter. The center can be from 1 mm to 10 mm depending on the size of the seeds. The bottom layer which is a tray (14) has no holes. Used to catch debris and seeds falling from the upper layers. The two metal layers are fixed together and their tilt angle can be adjusted. It is attached to the hole (15) of a thin metal plate (16) with the other end attached to the frame. The tilt angle can be Adjustable from 0 degrees to 60 degrees to suit different seed types. The sieve's rocking mechanism removes debris. And the seeds in the metal layer are moved by an electric motor (17) which has a shaft connected to a cam (18). This cam is Connected to the power transmission rod (19) at the other end, it is connected to the two metal layers, as the two metal layers are attached to A thin metal sheet (16) that, when bent, behaves like a spring. When the electric motor (17) rotates, it causes the layer The two metal parts vibrate as a unit, causing fragments and seeds to move and disperse. Seeds and fragments of various sizes... Seeds of similar or smaller size will flow into the discharge port(20). The speed of the rocking motion can be adjusted with the adjustment knob. Vibration speed (26) located in front of the control cabinet. The air blower unit, which is fitted with a fan (21) and an air duct (22) to allow air to flow through to the discharge area (20), causes debris to be blown away. The lighter weight of the seeds is blown out through the opening (23), while the seeds fall into the collection container. The wind speed can Adjustable with the speed adjustment knob (27) on the control panel to adjust the wind speed to suit the blowing of heavy debris. Lighter than seeds.

2. Seed separator, according to claim 1, where the threshing brush (4) can be selected from soft brush, rubber brush and brush. Wire, and a suitable tool for small, easily broken seeds, is a soft-bristle brush.
