The disadvantage of the device is the complexity of the design.

The closest solution in terms of the technological essence and the achieved effect is a method of disinfection of bulk products and a device for its implementation [RU 2279806 C2, A23B 9/06 (2006.01), A23L 3/54 (2006.01), 20.07.2006]. The device consists of a loading unit, a vibrating conveyor, shock absorbers, ultraviolet radiation sources, and an unloading unit.

The disadvantages of the design include the low efficiency of disinfection.

The objective of the invention is to ensure continuous disinfection and stimulation of grain germination through the use of a device for ultraviolet treatment of grain before germination. Processing with a constant change in grain orientation relative to the ultraviolet lamp. Possibility of changing the treatment dose. Increasing the utilization rate of the UV flux due to the reuse of the reflected flux fraction.

The problem is solved by the fact that the means for transporting grain is made in the form of a rotating auger, the dose of grain processing is regulated by the rotational speed of the auger, the cover and the inner surface of the auger casing are made of material reflecting the ultraviolet flow.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that for the implementation of this task, the proposed device for ultraviolet processing of grain before germination is made of a bunker, a control panel, an electric drive with a gearbox, auger, a damper, a casing, a casing cover, an ultraviolet lamp, a reflective coating, an unloading compartment, a frame.

The device for ultraviolet treatment of grain before germination is designed for continuous disinfection and stimulation of grain germination. To ensure the movement of grain from the loading zone to the unloading compartment, as well as a constant change in the orientation of the grain relative to the ultraviolet lamp, an auger is provided. To ensure the rotation of the auger, an electric drive with a gearbox is provided. For the possibility of changing the treatment dose, it is possible to change the screw rotation frequency. A control panel is provided to change the speed of the auger. To increase the utilization rate of the UV flux, a reflective coating is provided. The auger is located in the casing, the top of the casing is open. Above the casing there is a hopper, an ultraviolet lamp and a casing cover. For the possibility of disinfection and stimulation of grain before germination, an ultraviolet lamp is provided. The inner surface of the casing cover is made with a reflective coating. An electric drive with a gearbox is located below the casing. For the possibility of dosing grain, the hopper is equipped with a shutter. An unloading compartment is installed on the opposite side of the hopper. The device is made on a frame.

The device for ultraviolet treatment of grain before germination will be clear from the following description and the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a general view of a device for ultraviolet treatment of grain before germination, FIG. 2 is a top view of a device for ultraviolet treatment of grain before germination; FIG. 3 shows a cross-section of a device for ultraviolet treatment of grain before germination.

FIG. 1 shows a device for ultraviolet processing of grain before germination, which consists of a hopper 1 (Fig. 1, 2), a control panel 2, an electric drive with a gearbox 3, a screw 4 (Fig. 1, 2, 3). The screw 4 is made with the possibility of rotation by means of an electric drive with a gearbox 3 (Fig. 1, 2). For the possibility of grain dosing, the hopper 1 is equipped with a gate 5 (Fig. 1). The auger 4 (Fig. 1, 2, 3) is located in the casing 6. Above the casing 6 there is a casing cover 7 (Fig. 1, 3), an ultraviolet lamp 8. To be able to clean the ultraviolet lamp 8 from dirt and dust, the casing cover 7 is made with the possibility of opening. On the inner surface of the casing 6 (Fig. 1, 2, 3), a reflective coating 9 (Fig. 1, 2) is provided. A reflective coating is provided on the inner surface of the casing cover 7 (Figs. 1, 3). For the possibility of unloading grain, an unloading section 10 is provided (Figs. 1, 3). Frame 11 (Fig. 1, 2, 3) is made with the ability to attach equipment.

The device for ultraviolet treatment of grain before germination works as follows. Grain is fed into the hopper 1 (Figs. 1, 2), using the control panel 2, an electric drive with a gearbox 3 is started. Using an electric motor with a gearbox 3, the auger 4 is driven into rotation (Figs. 1, 2, 3). On the control panel 2 (Fig. 1, 2) set the rotational speed of the screw 4 (Fig. 1, 2, 3). The dose of grain supply from the hopper 1 (Fig. 1, 2) is set using the shutter 5 (Fig. 1). The grain is moved by the screw 4 (Fig. 1, 2, 3) over the casing 6 and exposed to the ultraviolet lamp 8 (Fig. 1, 3). Radiation from the ultraviolet lamp 8 is applied to the grain and the reflective coating 9 (Fig. 1, 2). As a result of the action of the ultraviolet lamp 8 (Fig. 1, 3) on the reflective coating 9 (Fig. 1, 2), a fraction of the reflected flux is reused. As a result, disinfection and stimulation of grain germination are carried out. Using the auger 4 (Fig. 1, 2, 3), the grain is moved to the unloading compartment 10 (Fig. 1, 3). After unloading section 10, the grain is ready for subsequent germination.

The proposed device for ultraviolet processing of grain before germination ensures the continuity of disinfection and stimulation of grain germination, as well as processing with a constant change in the orientation of the grain relative to the ultraviolet lamp due to the use of a means of transporting grain in the form of a rotating auger, the possibility of changing the treatment dose by adjusting the rotational speed of the auger, as well as increasing the utilization rate of the ultraviolet flux.
