Description

The invention relates to agriculture and can be used to saturate seeds with moisture before sowing and to moisten grain material before milling.

A process of moistening grain crop seeds before sowing by vernalization is known, which is carried out by soaking them on the floor of the storage facility at the rate of 25-35 liters of water per 100 kg of seeds for several days [Handbook of the Director of a State Farm. Part One. Generally edited by Kalchenko S.V., Martyanova F.M., Perov S.V. Third edition, revised. Gosselkhozizdat. - M., 1956. - 952 p. (pp. 529-530. Vernalization of seeds)]. Its disadvantages include the large expenditure of manual labor and time on moistening the seeds until they are saturated with moisture, the need to have a significant floor area on which the seeds are spread out for moistening. A moistening machine for preliminary grain treatment is also known [Patent RU 2555142, IPC B02B 1/08, F26B 3/02: "Method of hydrothermal treatment of grain and treater for hydrothermal treatment of grain". Cl. 2014100659/13 19.01.2014. Published 10.07.2015. Bulletin No. 19. Authors: Ermakov R.B., Blaznov A.N., Maryin V.A.], which contains a hopper with a stirrer installed in it and a mechanism for driving it into rotation, nozzles for loading and unloading grain from the hopper and a nozzle for feeding water into it. Its disadvantage is a slight increase in humidity, damage to grain up to 1%, as well as a large barothermal effect on it, carried out at a temperature of 120-200 ° C and excess pressure up to 0.05-0.15 MPa. Also known is a seed moistening machine comprising a hopper with loading and unloading pipes, a water supply pipe and a stirrer with a drive made in the form of a vertically installed auger with a casing open at the top in the installation area of the water supply pipe and at the bottom in the area of \u200b\u200bsupply of seeds to the auger [Patent RU No. 2688319, IPC A01C 1/06 (2006.01): Seed moistening machine. Claimed. 20181123406, 06/27/2018. Published. 05/21/2019. Bulletin No. 1]. Its disadvantage is uneven mixing of moistened seeds and bulkiness of the design. It is known from the level of development of technology that uniform mixing of seeds can be achieved in a rotating drum. The technical task of the invention is to ensure uniform mixing of moistened seeds.

A seed moistening unit is known [Patent SU 270367], consisting of a seed hopper with a disc dispenser and a perforated mixer connected to a liquid container, an inclined tray for feeding seeds and an inclined drum in which additional seed mixing occurs. A disadvantage of the unit is the presence of additional containers for moistening and devices for mixing seeds, which leads to an increase in their injury rate.

A known installation [Patent RU 2815106], adopted as a prototype, is characterized by the fact that it has a container with liquid for moistening seeds, a pump for feeding liquid through feed tubes to nozzles for spraying liquid on the surface of the seeds, fixed on a rod that allows changing their position inside a perforated drum made with a perforated discharge valve and blades covered with rubberized material, and mounted on a frame with the possibility of rotation from an electric motor, while under the perforated drum there is a container for collecting excess moisture that has not been absorbed into the seeds, from which, by means of a suction pump and suction tubes, excess moisture is fed into a container with liquid for moistening.

The disadvantage of the prototype is the complexity of the design, which consists of the presence of an additional container for the moisturizing liquid, and the spraying of moisture outside the drum through the end surface.

The technical objective of the invention is to simplify the design and reduce the amount of moisture sprayed outside the drum.

The stated technical task of the invention is achieved in the proposed grain material humidifier due to the fact that the humidifying liquid and the excess liquid flowing from the seeds are in the same container, and the end surface of the perforated drum is covered with a translucent material that prevents the spraying of the humidifying liquid beyond the drum.

The grain material humidifier (drawing) consists of a tank (1) with liquid for humidifying seeds, a pump (2) for feeding liquid through feed tubes (3) to nozzles (4) secured to a rod (5) with the ability to change the position of the nozzles located inside a perforated drum (6), with blades (7) covered with rubberized material, the drum (6) is mounted on a frame (8), the drum is rotated by an electric motor (9), due to a belt drive (10), a perforated discharge flap (11) is provided on the surface of the drum for unloading seeds. To prevent spraying of the humidifying liquid beyond the drum, a translucent material is installed on the end surface of the drum (12).

The grain material humidifier operates as follows: seeds are poured into a perforated drum (6) through a valve (11), after which the rotation of the drum (6) is switched on by means of an electric motor (9) and a belt drive (10), and the humidifying liquid from the tank is fed by a pump (2) through a system of tubes (3) and nozzles (4) to the surface of the seeds located in the rotating drum, the seeds, being humidified, absorb moisture, and the rubberized blades (7) of the drum ensure the required quality of mixing and uniformity of humidification. Excess moisture, not absorbed by the seeds, flows through the holes in the drum into a tank (1) with humidifying liquid, from where it is taken by a pump (2) and fed to the nozzles for further humidification. After the end of humidification, the seeds are removed from the drum through a perforated discharge valve (11). A transparent fence (12), installed on the end surface of the drum, prevents the spraying of the moisturizing liquid beyond the drum.
