Description

The utility model relates to agriculture and is intended for surface disinfection and stimulation of germination processes in seeds. The device can be used for disinfection of bulk materials, food products, and combined feeds.

A device for ultraviolet treatment of seeds is known [RU 206252 U1, A01C 1/00 (2006.01), 02.09.2021]. The device contains a hopper, a belt conveyor with an electric drive, a distribution conveyor with an electric drive, a source of ultraviolet radiation with a parabolic reflector, and a frequency converter.

Among the disadvantages of the device, one can highlight the low uniformity of seed processing due to ultraviolet irradiation on only one side when moving seeds on a belt conveyor.

A device for disinfecting seeds is known [RU 2792155 C1, A01C 1/02 (2006.01), 17.03.2023]. The device consists of a dosing hopper, a tray, a vibrator, a frequency converter, shock absorbers, ultraviolet lamps, parabolic reflectors, a fan, a casing, an ultraviolet radiation intensity sensor, and a frame.

As a disadvantage that reduces the processing flow, it can be noted that the device for seed disinfection acts as a periodic action unit.

A method for disinfecting bulk products and a device for implementing it are known [RU 2279806 C2, A23B 9/06 (2006.01), A23L 3/54 (2006.01), 20.07.2006]. The device for disinfecting bulk products contains a dosing hopper, a vibrating conveyor, and a source of ultraviolet radiation.

The disadvantages of the device include a decrease in the efficiency of irradiation due to the accumulation of dust above the vibrating conveyor during operation.

The installation solves the problem of increasing the efficiency of ultraviolet treatment of seeds on a vibrating conveyor due to the operation of a fan, which prevents dust accumulation in the working area.

The technical result is aimed at disinfecting seeds, namely reducing the overall microbial contamination and disinfecting the surface of seeds from mold and fungi. The technical result is achieved by the fact that the seeds are disinfected due to radiation from ultraviolet lamps, a fan is provided to prevent dust accumulation, reducing the radiation flow in the working area.

The essence of the utility model is that, in order to implement the specified task, the proposed installation for seed processing is made from a dosing hopper, a vibrating conveyor, a vibrator, a control panel, shock absorbers, a screen, ultraviolet lamps, a reflector, a reflective film, clamps, a fan, a flexible casing, a flexible sleeve, a frame, and a storage hopper.

A hopper-dispenser is provided for loading and metered feeding of seeds, under which a vibrating conveyor is located, providing the ability to move seeds. A vibrator is provided for implementing vibrating oscillations of the vibrating conveyor. A control panel is provided for changing the operating modes of the vibrator. The vibrating conveyor is mounted on shock absorbers, a screen made of a material that transmits ultraviolet radiation is installed above the vibrating conveyor. A window is provided in the screen under the hopper-dispenser for feeding seeds to the vibrating conveyor. Ultraviolet lamps with a reflector are located above the vibrating conveyor. To reflect ultraviolet radiation and prevent its spread to service personnel, a reflective film is placed on both sides of the unit between the vibrating conveyor and the reflector, secured with clamps. The reflective film is designed with the ability to reflect the flow of ultraviolet radiation falling on it. The clamps are designed with the ability to open to remove the reflective film. The screen prevents the spread of dust over the vibrating conveyor when moving seeds. When the unit is operating, the dust generated between the vibrating conveyor and the screen is blown out using a fan connected to the vibrating conveyor via a flexible casing. The flexible casing serves to move the air flow and absorb vibrations between the fan fixed to the frame and the vibrating conveyor. The air flow with dust is blown out of the end of the vibrating conveyor above the accumulating bin. The dosing bin is connected to the screen via a flexible sleeve. Under the vibrating conveyor there is an accumulating bin designed to accumulate processed seeds. The device is made on a frame.

The installation for seed treatment will be clear from the following description and the accompanying figures.

Fig. 1 shows a general view of the seed treatment plant. Fig. 2 shows a section of the seed treatment zone.

The seed treatment plant consists of a hopper-dispenser 1 (Fig. 1). Under the hopper-dispenser 1 there is a vibrating conveyor 2 (Fig. 1, 2) with a vibrator 3 (Fig. 1) designed with the possibility of operating in different modes. The operating modes of the vibrator 3 are controlled by means of a control panel 4. The vibrating conveyor 2 (Fig. 1, 2) is mounted on shock absorbers 5 (Fig. 1) and is designed with the possibility of receiving vibration oscillations from the vibrator 3. The vibrating conveyor 2 (Fig. 1, 2) is equipped with a screen 6 which prevents the spread of dust under the ultraviolet lamps 7. The reflector 8 is designed with the possibility of forming a flow of directed radiation from the ultraviolet lamps 7 into the treatment zone on the seeds. Between the vibrating conveyor 2 and the reflector 8, a reflective film 9 is placed, secured to the clamps 10. Under the hopper-dispenser 1 (Fig. 1), a fan 11 (Fig. 1) is connected to the vibrating conveyor 2 (Fig. 1, 2) by means of a flexible casing 12. The hopper-dispenser 1 is connected to the screen 6 (Fig. 1, 2) by a flexible sleeve 13. The frame 14 is designed with the possibility of fastening the equipment. After processing, the seeds are fed into the storage hopper 15.

The seed treatment unit operates as follows: seeds are fed into the hopper-dispenser 1 (Fig. 1), the operator sets the required operating mode of the vibrator 3 on the control panel 4, switches on the ultraviolet lamps 7 (Fig. 1, 2) and the fan 11 (Fig. 1). From the hopper-dispenser 1, seeds are fed in doses to the vibrating conveyor 2 (Fig. 1, 2). With the help of the vibrator 3 (Fig. 1), vibrations are imparted to the vibrating conveyor 2 (Fig. 1, 2), due to which the seeds are moved to the processing zone under the ultraviolet lamps 7. The required speed of movement of seeds on the vibrating conveyor 2 is set by the corresponding operating mode of the vibrator 3 (Fig. 1). During processing, the seeds are moved on a vibrating conveyor 2 (Fig. 1, 2) from the dosing bin 1 (Fig. 1) in the direction of the storage bin 15. During the movement of the seeds, the reflector 8 (Fig. 1, 2) directs the radiation flow from the ultraviolet lamps 7 to the seeds in the processing zone. On the vibrating conveyor 2, the seeds are irradiated with the ultraviolet lamps 7, as a result of which the disinfection and stimulation of seed germination are carried out. The dust formed during the movement of the seeds along the vibrating conveyor 2 is blown out by the fan 11 (Fig. 1). After processing, the seeds are ready for subsequent planting or germination.

The proposed seed treatment plant provides ultraviolet treatment with high efficiency due to the operation of a fan, which prevents dust accumulation in the working area.
