Description

The device for pre-sowing seed treatment refers to agriculture and is designed to improve the efficiency of pre-sowing seed treatment, as well as seed treatment before germination for green top dressing in the swine, poultry and cattle feeding industries.

A device for pre-sowing seed treatment [RU 118161 U1, A01C 1/00 (2006.01), 20.07.2012], 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.

A known method of presowing treatment of wheat seeds [RU 2318305 C1, A01C 1/00 (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 presowing treatment of wheat seeds is the inability to change the duration of seed treatment in the irradiation chamber.

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 supply 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.

The closest solution in terms of technological essence and achieved effect is a device for processing bulk materials [SU 1732917 A1, A23L 3/26, 05/15/1992], consisting of a cylindrical body, thermal insulation, side covers, an optically transparent pipeline-coil, couplings, inlet and outlet pipes, emitters.

The disadvantages of the device for processing bulk materials include the lack of means to control the intensity of ultraviolet radiation, the complexity of adjusting the dose of treatment.

The objective of the invention is to ensure continuous seed treatment. Processing with a constant change in the orientation of seeds relative to radiation sources. The possibility of changing the dose of treatment. Increasing the utilization of the ultraviolet flux by reusing a fraction of the reflected flux.

The problem is solved by the fact that the means of transporting seeds is made in the form of a spiral, the dose of seed treatment is controlled by the number of operating ultraviolet lamps and the mode of operation of the vibrator, covers, the inner surface of the housing and parabolic reflectors are made of a material that reflects ultraviolet radiation.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that to implement this task, the proposed device for seed treatment before sowing is made of a hopper with a dispenser, a flexible sleeve, a vibrator, a housing, a top cover, a bottom cover, a spiral seed tube, ultraviolet lamps, a parabolic reflector, an ultraviolet intensity sensor radiation, a storage bin with a dispenser, a belt conveyor.

At the same time, the seed treatment device is designed for continuous disinfection and stimulation of seed germination. To ensure the movement of seeds along the spiral seed tube from the loading hopper with a dispenser to the storage hopper with a dispenser, as well as a constant change in the orientation of the seeds relative to ultraviolet lamps, a vibrator is provided. A flexible sleeve is provided to connect the loading hopper with the dispenser and the spiral seed tube. To increase the utilization factor of the ultraviolet radiation flux, a reflective coating is provided on the inner surface of the case, the top and bottom covers. For the possibility of disinfection and stimulation of seeds, ultraviolet lamps are provided. To concentrate the radiation flux from ultraviolet lamps mounted on the walls of the housing, parabolic reflectors are provided. To improve the uniformity of seed treatment, an ultraviolet lamp is installed in the center of the spiral seed tube. For the possibility of controlling the dose of treatment, an ultraviolet radiation intensity sensor is provided. For the possibility of dosing seeds, a loading hopper with a dispenser is provided. To collect treated seeds, a storage hopper with a dispenser is provided. A belt conveyor is provided to move the treated seeds.

A device for treating seeds before sowing will be apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1 shows a general view of a device for treating seeds before sowing, in Fig. 2 shows a horizontal section of a device for treating seeds before sowing.

On (Fig. 1) shows a device for treating seeds before sowing, which consists of a hopper with a dispenser 1 (Fig. 1), a flexible sleeve 2, a vibrator 3, a body 4 (Fig. 1, 2), a top cover 5 (Fig. . 1), bottom cover 6, spiral seed tube 7 (Fig. 1, 2). To increase the efficiency of processing, the spiral seed duct 7 is made of a material that transmits well the ultraviolet radiation spectrum with a wavelength of 254 nm. Ultraviolet lamps 8, with the exception of the lamp in the center of the spiral seed tube 7, are mounted in parabolic reflectors 9. To be able to change the treatment dose, it is possible to turn off individual ultraviolet lamps 8. To control the modes of seed treatment, an ultraviolet radiation intensity sensor 10 is mounted on the coil of the spiral seed tube 7 (Fig. . one). The end of the spiral seed tube 7 (Fig. 1, 2) is fixed in the storage hopper 11 (Fig. 1). The storage hopper with a dispenser 11 is configured to supply seeds to the belt conveyor 12.

The seed treatment device works as follows. Seeds are fed into the hopper with a dispenser 1 (Fig. 1), the operating mode of the vibrator 3 is set. The seeds for processing enter the spiral seed tube 7 (Fig. 1, 2). The speed of passage of seeds in the spiral seed duct 7 is controlled by a vibrator 3 (Fig. 1). The seeds are moved along the spiral duct 7 (Fig. 1, 2) and exposed to the radiation flux from ultraviolet lamps 8. the reflective coating of the body 4 of the top cover 5 (FIG. 1) and the bottom cover 6 reuse a portion of the reflected flux. As a result, disinfection and stimulation of seed germination are carried out. After processing, the seeds, under the action of gravity and vibration from the vibrator 3, are transferred to the storage bin with the dispenser 11. After unloading from the storage bin with the dispenser 11 onto the 12 belt conveyor, the seeds are ready for subsequent use.

The proposed device for seed treatment before sowing ensures the continuity of disinfection and stimulation of seeds, as well as treatment with a constant change in the orientation of seeds relative to ultraviolet lamps through the use of a means of transporting seeds in the form of a spiral seed tube, the possibility of changing the dose of treatment through the use of a different number of operating ultraviolet lamps, the possibility of controlling the radiation dose through the use of an ultraviolet radiation intensity sensor, as well as increasing the utilization factor of the ultraviolet flux through the use of parabolic reflectors and a reflective coating.
