BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Grain production is always occupied a major position in some countries. Grains are so important because they are a good source of important nutrients called carbohydrates. Food-grains (wheats) are typically milled into flour and is then used to make a wide range of foods including breads, muffins, noodles, pasta, biscuits, cakes, cookies, pastries, cereal bars, sweet and savory snack foods and crackers. When the farm is busy, farmers spread the grain on the drying yard in order to remove the moisture in the grain and to store the harvested grain at one place in the starting. In collecting the harvested grain, several challenges often arise, which affect the efficiency and productivity. One of the primary issues lies in manual labor-intensive processes, where the gathering and transportation of wheat from the field to storage facilities becomes time-consuming and laborious.

[0003] Traditionally, the wheats are manually collected and put into grain bags that is with a shovel or by manually with help of any box container etcetera. While collecting the grains in grain bags with a shovel, many labors are required to collect the whole. Also, the grains are not collected according to the specified weight in a first attempt. The user required to continuously monitor the weight the grain bag and need to add or remove the grain from the grain bag. Also to sieve the grain, at least two persons are required to sieve the little amount of the grains in a fast manner. Additionally, the traditional methods lack adequate quality control measures, leading to inconsistencies in grain quality and potential contamination from debris or impurities. Moreover, the reliance on manual sorting and handling increases the risk of human error and result in suboptimal yields.

A filtering plate which is obliquely arranged is fixedly connected into the box body; a vibration motor is arranged at the bottom of the filter plate; a dust outlet is formed in the bottom of the first chamber; the dust outlet is blocked by a switch door; the upper part of the box body is fixedly connected with a collecting box; the top of the collecting box is connected with a sucking pump; the grain discharging hole is communicated with the second cavity through a grain conveying pipeline, one side of the upper portion of the collecting box is connected with a three-way pipeline, one branch pipeline of the three-way pipeline is communicated with an air suction port in the side face of the first cavity, the other branch pipeline of the three-way pipeline is connected with a grain suction head, and first filter screen is arranged on the inner side of the air suction port. By means of the grain collecting device, residual grains which are difficult to shovel up can be quickly collected, meanwhile, dust and impurity removal operation can be conducted on the residual grains, and the collected residual grains are cleaned. CN'065 discloses about a grain collector used to collect the grain. However, the above mentioned invention lacks in monitoring the quality of the grains. The above mentioned invention also lacks in providing the grains of pre-defined size to the user.

CN'856 discloses about a grain collecting device used to collect the grains. However, the above mentioned invention lacks in determining weight of the collected grains and to inform the user about the collection of the grain. The above mentioned invention also lacks in checking the quality of the grain required to be collected.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices available which are capable of assisting a user in collecting a user-specified amount of food-grain from a heap of food-grain with less human effort, but no device is available which is capable of monitoring quality of the grains in automatic manner while sieving the grains to remove the large particles. Additionally, no devices available which informs the user about the presence of the moisture in the food grains.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device which is capable of providing a means to the user to collect the grains according to the user specified weight and of pre-defined size. Also there exists a need in the art to develop a device which is capable of informing the user about the quality of the grains to assist the user in collecting the high quality grains only. Additionally, there also exist a need in the art to develop a device which is capable of determining presence of moisture in the grains to notify the user to desiccate the moisture from the grains.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting.

[0020] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises," and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having" and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0022] The present invention relates to a food-grain collection assistive device which is capable of assisting a user in obtaining a user-required amount of food-grains from a heap of food-grains with reduced human effort. Additionally, the proposed device also informs the user about the presence of the moisture in the grains in automatic manner to prevent the user from collecting moist grains.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a food-grain collection assistive device and a bottom view of a L-shaped frame associated with the proposed device are illustrated, respectively comprising a platform 101 positioned on a ground surface by means of multiple wheels 102, an imaging unit 103 installed on the platform 101, a L-shaped frame 104 possessing a first and second portion arranged with the platform 101 by means of a telescopically operated rod 201, an inverted U-shaped handle 105 arranged on ends of the first portion, a telescopically operated link 202 arranged with the rod 201, multiple vibration units 106 integrated on a pair of meshed sheets 107 arranged in the first portion, a conveyer belt 108 arranged underneath the sheets 107, a speaker 109 installed on the platform 101, an air blower 110 integrated on the first portion and a ball and socket joint 203 integrated in between the rod 201 and the frame 104.

[0024] The proposed device comprises of a platform 101 developed to be positioned on a ground surface. The platform 101 is made up of material not restricted to wood, metal etc. that provides durability to the components and comfortably accommodate the components required to perform the specified operation. Herein, multiple wheels 102 are arranged underneath the platform 101 to move the platform 101 in proximity to a heap of food grains. The wheels 102 are in the range of 2 to 6 in number which allow the smooth maneuvering of the platform 101 over the area of the heap of food grains.

[0025] Upon positioning the platform 101 near a heap of food grains, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 is installed on the platform 101 that is paired with a processor for capturing and processing multiple images in vicinity of the platform 101, respectively to determine distance of the heap. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 used herein incorporates AI protocols to enhance its functionality and capabilities to enables immediate responses and faster decision-making. The imaging unit 103 captures images or records videos in vicinity of the platform 101 by the help of specialized lenses. The captured data is pre-processed and is fed into AI protocols for analysis which utilizes machine learning techniques, such as deep learning neural networks, to extract meaningful information from the visual data. This acquired data is processed by the processor and then an inbuilt microcontroller analysed the processed data to determine distance of the heap.

[0026] On the basis of detected distance, the microcontroller actuates a telescopically operated rod 201 by means of which a L-shaped frame 104 possessing a first and second portion is arranged with the platform 101 to extend/retract for deploying the frame 104 in proximity to the heap. The rod 201 is powered by a pneumatic unit which includes an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston. The air compressor used herein extract the air from surrounding and increases the pressure of the air by reducing the volume of the air. The air compressor draws atmospheric air and compress to elevated pressure. The compressed air is then sent through a discharge tube into the cylinder across the valve. The compressed air in the cylinder tends to pushes out the piston to extend which extends the rod 201 that deploys the frame 104 near the heap.

[0027] Upon deploying the frame 104 near the heap, the user accessed an inverted U-shaped handle 105 arranged on ends of the first portion to position the second portion of the frame 104 inside the heap. As soon as the first portion is positioned inside the heap, the microcontroller actuates a telescopically operated link 202 arranged with the rod 201 to extend/retract for providing an optimum pushing force on the second portion. The link 202 is operated by the same pneumatic unit with which the rod 201 is operated. So upon getting power from the pneumatic unit, the link 202 extends/retracts in a manner that the second portion is uplifted and hence results in transferring the grains on the first portion.

[0028] In synchronous, the microcontroller actuates a motorized ball and socket joint 203 integrated in between the rod 201 and the frame 104 for providing omnidirectional movement to the first portion while the link 202 uplifts the second portion. The ball and socket joint 203 provides a rotation to the first portion to turn at a desired angle. The ball and socket joint 203 is a coupling consisting of a ball joint 203 securely locked within a socket joint 203, where the ball joint 203 is able to move in a 360-dgree rotation within the socket thus, providing the required rotational motion to the first portion. The ball and socket joint 203 is powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is actuated by the microcontroller thus providing multidirectional movement to the first portion while the link 202 uplifts the second portion and hence results in transferring the grains on the first portion.

[0029] While transferring the grains on the first portion, a pair of meshed sheets 107 arranged in the first portion in a stacked manner to sieve the grains. Herein, multiple vibration units 106 are integrated on peripheral portion of the sheets 107 for generating vibrational sensations in the sheets 107, in view of sieving a pre-defined sized grain through the sheets 107. The vibration units are in the range of four to six in number and are operates by utilizing an electric motor to providing a vibrating movement to the sheets 107. Upon actuation of the vibration unit by the microcontroller, the motor imparts a back-and-forth motion to the sheets 107 causing the sheets 107 to vibrate. The vibration of the sheets 107 enables the sieving of the pre-defined sized grains only through the sheets 107.

[0030] While sieving the grains, an ultrasonic sensor is embedded on the frame 104 for detecting amount of grains accommodated on the first portion. The ultrasonic sensor works by emitting ultrasonic waves and then measuring the time taken by these waves to bounce back after hitting the grains accommodated on the first portion and includes two main parts that are a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter sends short ultrasonic pulses towards the grains accommodated on the first portion, which propagates through the air at the speed of sound and reflects back as an echo to the transmitter as the pulse hits the grains. The transmitter then detects the reflected echo from the surface of the first portion and performed the calculation based on the time interval between the sending signal and receiving echo. The determined data is sent to the microcontroller in a signal form which is then processed by the microcontroller to determine amount of grains accommodated on the first portion.

[0031] In case the detected amount exceeds a threshold value, the microcontroller actuates a motorized slider arranged in between one of the sheets 107 for translating the sheets 107 to increase dimensions of the meshed structure for allowing the exceeded amount of the grains to get sieved properly. The slider consists of a pair of sliding rail fabricated with grooves in which the wheel of a slider is positioned that is further connected with a bi-directional motor via a shaft. The microcontroller actuates the bi-directional motor to rotate in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction that aids in rotation of shaft, wherein the shaft converts the electrical energy into rotational energy for allowing movement of the wheel to translate over the sliding rail by a firm grip on the grooves. The movement of the slider results in translation of the sheets 107 to increase dimensions of the meshed structure for allowing the exceeded amount of the grains to get sieved properly.

[0032] Further while sieving the grains, the microcontroller actuates an air blower 110 integrated on the first portion for providing an appropriate blow of air onto lighter particles that remain accommodated over the sheets 107 while sieving, in view of removing the particles from the sheets 107. The air blower 110 employed herein are designed to take in air at an inlet, and expel it at an outlet, whilst increasing both the speed and the volume of air. The air blower 110/ fan consists of the motor and a blade which is directly coupled with the shaft of the motor. The blade is designed in such a way that on rotation generate air swirl, which result in blowing of the air for removing the lighter particles remain accommodated over the sheets 107 from the sheets 107 and ensures the proper sieving of grain.

[0033] These sieved pre-defined sized grain are collected on a conveyer belt 108 arranged underneath the sheets 107 that is actuated by the microcontroller to translate the sieved grains towards an auxiliary container positioned on the platform 101, in view of dispensing the grains in the container. The conveyer belt 108 consists of a belt 108 stretched across two or more pulleys in close loop and one of the pulley is attached with a driven motor that is interlinked with the microcontroller. On actuation, the driven motor rotates the pulley which in turn results that the primary conveyer belt 108 also rotates that leads to translate the sieved grains towards the auxiliary container for dispensing the grains in the container.

[0034] Additionally, a weight sensor is integrated on the platform 101 for monitoring weight of the dispensed grains. The weight sensor comprises of a convoluted diaphragm and a sensing module. Due to the weight of dispensed grains on the platform 101, the size of the diaphragm changes which is detected by the sensing module. The sensing module detects the deflection in the size of the diaphragm. On the basis of the changes in sizes of the diaphragm, the weight of the dispensed grains is calculated in a signal form which is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processed the acquired data and detects the weight of the dispensed grains.

[0035] In case the determined weight exceeds a threshold value, the microcontroller actuates a speaker 109 installed on the platform 101 to produce audio signals for notifying the user to collect the container filled with the grains. The speaker 109 converts the electrical signal into sound wave for producing sound. The part of the speaker 109 that converts electrical signal into mechanical energy is called a voice coil and also consists of a diaphragm. The motor upon getting actuation command from the microcontroller, vibrates the diaphragm that in turn vibrates the air in immediate contact with it according to specific pattern. This specific pattern's vibration produces the pre-fed audio signals notifying the user to collect the container filled with the grains.

[0036] Moreover, a moisture sensor is embedded on the sheets 107 for detecting presence of moisture in the grains. The moisture sensor comprises a couple of conductive probes used for measuring moisture content in the surface. The probes are electrodes capable of conducting charge and corresponding electrical resistance is measured by the sensor. As the water content is present in the grains, the resistance through probes increases and the corresponding signal is received by the microcontroller. The microcontroller upon receiving the signal compares the received signal with a pre-fed data stored in the database and consequentially determines the presence of the moisture in the grains. In case the presence of the moisture is detected in the grains, the microcontroller directs the speaker 109 for notifying the user to desiccate the grains before collecting.

[0037] In addition, near-infrared spectroscopy is integrated within the device that allows for non-destructive analysis of the wheat's quality. The NIR spectroscopy is a method that makes use of the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (from about 700 to 2500 nanometers). An infra-red light is emitted on the wheats by an emitter associated with the NIR spectroscopy which scattered of from the grains. By measuring light scattered off of and through the grains, NIR reflectance spectra is used to quickly determine the grain's properties without altering the grains. Hence by using near-infrared spectroscopy, the microcontroller determines the wheat's quality.

[0038] Lastly, a battery is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0039] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the platform 101 as disclosed in the invention is developed to be positioned on the ground surface and is arranged with multiple wheels 102 to move the platform 101 in proximity to a heap of food grains. Upon activating the device, the imaging unit 103 captures and processes multiple images in vicinity of the platform 101 to determine distance of the heap. In accordance to the detected distance, the microcontroller actuates the telescopically operated rod 201 to extend/retract for deploying the frame 104 in proximity to the heap. Upon deploying the frame 104 near the heap, the user accessed the inverted U-shaped handle 105 to position the second portion of the frame 104 inside the heap. Then, the microcontroller actuates the telescopically operated link 202 to extend/retract for providing an optimum pushing force on the second portion in a manner that the second portion is uplifted to transfer the grains on the first portion. Synchronously, the microcontroller actuates the motorized ball and socket joint 203 for providing omnidirectional movement to the first portion while the link 202 uplifts the second portion to help in transferring the grains on the first portion. While transferring the grains on the first portion, multiple vibration units 106 are actuated by the microcontroller for generating vibrational sensations in the sheets 107 for sieving the pre-defined sized grain through the sheets 107. While sieving the grains, the ultrasonic sensor detects the amount of grains accommodated on the first portion. If the detected amount exceeds a threshold value, the microcontroller actuates the motorized slider for translating the sheets 107 to increase dimensions of the meshed structure for allowing the exceeded amount of the grains to get sieved properly. Then, the microcontroller actuates the air blower 110 for providing an appropriate blow of air onto lighter particles that remain accommodated over the sheets 107 while sieving for removing the particles from the sheets 107. These sieved pre-defined sized grain are collected on the conveyer belt 108 that is then actuated by the microcontroller to translate the sieved grains towards the auxiliary container, in view of dispensing the grains in the container. After this, the weight sensor monitors the weight of the dispensed grains. In case the determined weight exceeds the threshold value, the microcontroller actuates the speaker 109 to produce audio signals for notifying the user to collect the container filled with the grains. Moreover, the moisture sensor detects the presence of moisture in the grains. In case the presence of the moisture is detected in the grains, the microcontroller directs the speaker 109 for notifying the user to desiccate the grains before collecting.
