SYSTEME D'ECHANTILLONNAGE SERVANT A INTRODUIRE DANS UN DISPOSITIF DE MESURE UN GRAIN DE SEMENCE SEPARE, SYSTEME ET PROCEDE DE TRI D'UNE PLURALITE DE GRAINS DE SEMENCE SEPARES, ET UTILISATION DESDITS SYSTEMES
The invention relates to a system (110) and a method for sorting a plurality (112) of seed grains (114). The system (110) comprises an individualizing device (120), a sampling device (132) for introducing the individualized seed grains (114) into a measuring device (136) in order to classify the individualized seed grains (114), a receiving device (146, 200) for receiving the classified seed grains (114), and a transport device (118, 124, 134, 144, 152) for at least partly pneumatically transporting the seed grains (114). The invention further relates to the sampling device (132) which comprises an outer tube (160) for receiving the sampling device (132) in the measuring device (136). A sample chamber (138) of the measuring device (136) is provided within a volume (164) of the outer tube (160). The sampling device (132) further comprises an inner tube (162) which is inserted into the outer tube (160) and has a lower opening (166) through which the individualized seed grains (114) can be introduced into the volume (164) of the outer tube (160). An intermediate space (170) formed between the outer tube (160) and the inner tube (162) is designed such that the individualized seed grain (114) can be discharged pneumatically out of the outer tube (160) through the inner tube (162) into a receiving device (146, 200) for the classified seed grain (114). The system (110) is suitable for the automatic high-throughput sorting of seed grains (114) using the measuring device (136), which is designed to examine the seed grains (114) using a nuclear magnetic resonance (140) method and/or an optical measuring method.
