Description

The device for ultraviolet seed treatment refers to agriculture and is designed to improve the sowing qualities of seeds before planting or sprouting on vitamin feed.

A device for presowing seed treatment is known [RU 142430 U1, A01C 1/00 (2006.01), 06/27/2014], consisting of a housing, an automatic seed feed mechanism, a source of ultraviolet radiation, an electric motor, a gearbox, a dose rate counter.

The disadvantage of the presowing seed treatment is low productivity. The device can only be used for processing small volumes of seeds.

A known method of pre-sowing treatment of wheat seeds [RU 2318305 C1, A01C1/00 (2006.01), 10.03.2008]. To implement the method, a device is proposed, consisting of a seed bin, an irradiation chamber, emitters, nozzles, a perforated conveyor belt.

The disadvantage of this method of pre-sowing treatment of wheat seeds is the inability to change the duration of seed treatment in the irradiation chamber.

A device for pre-sowing seed treatment [RU 118161 U1, A01C1/00 (2006.01), 20.07.2012] is known, consisting of a housing, a sealed cover, a source of ultraviolet radiation, a container for seeds, a permanent magnet, an inductive coil, a power source.

The disadvantages of the device for pre-sowing seed treatment include the lack of mechanization of the bookmarking process, as well as the subsequent extraction of treated seeds, which affects the flow of the process.

The closest solution in terms of technological essence and the achieved effect is a device for ultraviolet seed treatment [RU 207333 U1 A01C 1/00 (2006.01), 10.25.2021]. The device contains: a hopper, an electric drive with a gearbox, an auger, a casing, an ultraviolet lamp, a frame.

The disadvantages of the device include the lack of means to control the total operating time of UV lamps, which affects their timely replacement.

The objective of the utility model is to provide control over the total operating time of ultraviolet lamps during seed disinfection.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the control of the total operating time of ultraviolet lamps is carried out by means of a pulse counter.

The essence of the utility model lies in the fact that in order to implement this task, the proposed device for ultraviolet seed treatment is made of a hopper, a control panel, an electric drive with a gearbox, an auger, a damper, a casing, a casing cover, a fan, ultraviolet lamps, an impulse counter, a reflective coating, a sensor intensity of ultraviolet irradiation, seed level sensor, unloading compartment, frame.

At the same time, the device for ultraviolet seed treatment is designed for continuous disinfection and stimulation of seed germination. An auger is provided to ensure the movement of seeds from the loading zone to the unloading compartment, as well as the constant change in the orientation of the seeds relative to ultraviolet lamps. To ensure the rotation of the auger, an electric drive with a gearbox is provided. For the possibility of changing the dose of ultraviolet irradiation, the possibility of changing the speed of rotation of the screw is provided. A control panel is provided to ensure changes in the screw speed. To increase the utilization of the ultraviolet flux, a reflective coating is provided. The auger is located in the casing, the casing cover is provided in the upper part of the casing. A fan is located at the end of the casing cover. A bunker is located above the casing. A reflective coating is located on the inner surface of the casing. For the possibility of disinfection and stimulation of seeds, ultraviolet lamps are provided inside the cover of the casing. Ultraviolet lamps are made with the possibility of changing the height of the suspension relative to the treatment area. A pulse counter is provided to control the total operating time of the UV lamps. The inner surface of the housing cover is made with a reflective coating. Below the casing on the frame is an electric drive with a gearbox. For the possibility of dosing seeds, the hopper is equipped with a damper. To be able to control the level of seeds, the hopper is equipped with a seed level sensor. To be able to control the intensity of ultraviolet irradiation in the treatment area, an ultraviolet irradiation intensity sensor is provided. An unloading compartment is installed on the opposite side of the bunker. The device is made on a frame.

An apparatus for ultraviolet seed treatment prior to germination will be apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows a General view of the device for ultraviolet seed treatment, which consists of a bin 1 (Fig. 1), a control panel 2, an electric drive with a gearbox 3, an auger 4. The auger 4 is made rotatable by means of an electric drive with a gearbox 3. To be able to hopper 1 is equipped with a shutter 5. The auger 4 is located in the casing 6. A casing cover 7 is installed in the upper part of the casing 6. To prevent dust accumulation inside the casing cover 7, a fan 8 is provided. Ultraviolet lamps 9 are installed in the upper part of the casing cover. cleaning ultraviolet lamps 9 from dirt and dust, the cover of the casing 7 is made with the possibility of opening. To control the total operating time of the UV lamps 9, a pulse counter 10 is provided. A reflective coating 11 is located on the inner surface of the casing 6. A reflective coating is located on the inner surface of the casing cover 7. Under the ultraviolet lamps 9, in the seed treatment zone, there is an ultraviolet irradiation intensity sensor 12. Information from the ultraviolet irradiation intensity sensor 12 is fed to the control panel 2. At the bottom of the bin 1, there is a seed level sensor 13. An unloading compartment 14 is provided for the possibility of unloading the seeds. Frame 15 is designed to mount equipment.

Device for ultraviolet seed treatment works as follows. The operator sets the height of the suspension of ultraviolet lamps 9 (Fig. 1) relative to the treatment area. Using the control panel 2, the operator sets the required speed of the auger 4 and the number of operating ultraviolet lamps 9. Seeds are fed into the hopper 1. The operator sets the required supply of seeds from the hopper 1 to the casing 6 by means of the damper 5. Using the control panel 2, the electric drive with the gearbox 3 is started. Using the electric drive with the gearbox 3, the auger 4 is rotated. 9. Radiation from the ultraviolet lamps 9 is applied to the seeds and the reflective coating 11. Dust is blown out by the fan 8 from the inside of the housing cover 7. As a result of the exposure of the ultraviolet lamps 9 to the reflective coating 11, a fraction of the reflected flux is reused. As a result, disinfection and stimulation of seed germination are carried out. The radiation intensity is controlled by an ultraviolet irradiation intensity sensor 12. The level of seeds in the hopper 1 is controlled by a seed level sensor 13. The total operating time of ultraviolet lamps 9 is controlled by a pulse counter 10. Information from the seed level sensor 13 is fed to the control panel 2. With the help of auger 4, the grain is moved to unloading compartment 14. After the unloading compartment 14, the seeds are ready for subsequent planting or germination.

The proposed device for ultraviolet seed treatment makes it possible to disinfect seeds with control over the total operating time of ultraviolet lamps through the use of a pulse counter.
