Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of citrus planting, and more particularly to a germination accelerating device for citrus breeding. Background Art

[0002] During the cultivation and breeding process of citrus, the seeds need to be germinated. The citrus seeds are placed in a germination device. When the citrus seeds germinate to have multiple true leaves, the citrus seeds are transferred and cultivated hydroponically or by other methods.

[0003] For citrus seeds, the commonly used practice is to soak the citrus seeds for a period of time, and then wrap the soaked citrus seeds in wet paper or non-woven fabric for germination. During the germination period, the paper or cloth must be kept moist, and the air permeability of the citrus seeds must also be ensured. The longitudinal section of the citrus seeds is elliptical, and the citrus seeds sprout at one end. Since the leaves always grow upward after sprouting, the placement of the citrus seeds has a certain influence on the sprouting effect and the subsequent transfer and planting. If the sprouting end of the citrus seeds is not arranged upward, then during sprouting and the subsequent transfer and planting, the paper or cloth may hinder the sprouting of the citrus seeds. In addition, during transfer and planting, the leaves on the citrus seeds are easily damaged, and the citrus seeds are not easy to be stably planted.

[0004] In addition to the above, in the existing germination process of citrus seeds, the citrus seeds are wrapped with wet paper or cloth, which has poor air permeability and affects the germination rate of the seeds.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a germination device for citrus breeding that can overcome the above-mentioned problems is an issue that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0031] Example

[0032] See attached Figure 1-7 The whole and partial structure schematic diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention specifically discloses a germination accelerating device for citrus breeding, comprising:

[0033] Base 1, which is arranged horizontally, is provided with a limit groove with a top opening, and a horizontally arranged mounting plate is fixed on one side of the base 1;

[0034] Germination components, multiple germination components are provided and can be detachably mounted on the base 1. The purpose of providing multiple germination components is to facilitate control experiments. For example, different culture solution components or different culture solution temperatures correspond to different germination effects. In this embodiment, the temperatures of the culture solutions in different boxes 2 are different.

[0035] The germination assembly includes a box body 2, a partition 3, a germination plate 4 and a cover body 5. The rectangular box body 2 is arranged horizontally and has an open top. A plurality of box bodies 2 are arranged in a straight line and are all embedded in the limiting groove. The box body 2 contains a culture solution, and the culture solution in the box body 2 needs to be replaced regularly.

[0036] The rectangular partition 3 is horizontally limited in the box body 2, and a plurality of circular holes 30 are formed on the partition 3;

[0037] The germination plate 4 formed of open-cell foam plastic is laid on the partition 3. A plurality of inverted cone-shaped accommodating cavities 40 are formed on the lower plate surface of the germination plate 4. The opening end of the accommodating cavity 40 faces upward and penetrates the upper plate surface of the germination plate 4. The accommodating cavity 40 is limited inside the clearance hole 30. The lower end of the accommodating cavity 40 can be immersed in the culture solution.

[0038] Since the germination plate 4 and the receiving cavity 40 are both made of open-cell foam plastic, the receiving cavity 40 absorbs the culture solution in the box body 2, and each receiving cavity 40 contains a citrus seed, the longitudinal section of the citrus seed is similar to an ellipse, and the citrus seed sprouts from one end thereof. In the present application, the receiving cavity 40 adopts a conical design. On the one hand, it can limit the citrus seed to ensure that the sprouting end of the citrus seed is arranged upward. When the citrus seed sprouts, there is no obstruction above the sprouting end of the citrus seed, which facilitates its sprouting. On the other hand, the citrus seed can contact the moist inner wall of the receiving cavity 40 and obtain nutrients;

[0039] The transparent cover 5 is buckled on the upper plate surface of the germination plate 4, and the cover 5 covers the accommodating cavity 40, which can play a role in moisturizing the interior of the accommodating cavity 40; the operator can observe the germination of the citrus seeds in the accommodating cavity 40 through the transparent cover 5;

[0040] Atomizer 6, atomizer 6 is fixed on the upper plate surface of the mounting plate, the mist outlet of atomizer 6 is connected to the inside of multiple accommodating cavities 40, the inside of atomizer 6 is filled with water or culture fluid, the water mist or atomized culture fluid discharged by atomizer 6 will enter multiple accommodating cavities 40, thereby ensuring that the accommodating cavity 40 has good air permeability while ensuring that the inside has sufficient humidity. The atomizer 6 in this application is an ultrasonic atomizer 6, which belongs to the mature prior art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0041] The culture medium in this application is water.

[0042] The inner side wall of the box body 2 has a step surface 20, the lower plate surface of the partition 3 is in close contact with the step surface 20, and the lower plate surface of the germination plate 4 is in close contact with the upper plate surface of the partition 3. The step surface 20 is mainly used to limit the partition 3, and the partition 3 is mainly used to support the germination plate 4.

[0043] There is a certain gap between the lower end of the accommodating cavity 40 and the inner bottom surface of the box body 2, that is, when the liquid level of the culture solution in the box body 2 is lower than the lower end of the accommodating cavity 40, the accommodating cavity 40 is no longer in contact with the culture solution. The purpose of setting this gap is to prevent citrus seeds from being immersed in the culture solution for a long time and to ensure the air permeability of citrus seeds during the germination process.

[0044] A liquid channel 21 is integrally formed on the side wall of the box body 2. One end of the liquid channel 21 is arranged close to the inner bottom wall of the box body 2 and communicates with the inside of the box body 2. The other end of the liquid channel 21 passes through the end wall of the opening end of the box body 2.

[0045] In the initial stage of germination of citrus seeds, the citrus seeds need to be immersed in culture solution for a period of time. After the above-mentioned immersion stage is completed, the operator can insert the syringe into the liquid channel 21 and use the syringe to extract the culture solution in the box body 2 so that the citrus seeds are not completely immersed in the culture solution; of course, the syringe and the liquid channel 21 can also be used to add culture solution to the box body 2.

[0046] The accommodating cavity 40 is evenly provided with a plurality of through holes 41 penetrating through its side wall, and a through hole 42 is provided at the lower end of the accommodating cavity 40. The purpose of providing the through holes 41 and 42 is to facilitate the culture fluid in the box body 2 to quickly infiltrate the accommodating cavity 40. At the same time, the purpose of providing the through hole 42 is that when the culture fluid level in the box body 2 drops, the culture fluid inside the accommodating cavity 40 can also be quickly discharged downward.

[0047] The cover body 5 includes a rectangular plate body 50 and a plurality of covers 51 integrally formed on one side of the plate body 50. The open end of the cover 51 penetrates the plate surface of the plate body 50. The side of the plate body 50 away from the cover 51 is in close contact with the upper surface of the germination plate 4. The plurality of covers 51 can be directly opposite to the plurality of accommodating cavities 40. The covers 51 and the corresponding accommodating cavities 40 together constitute a germination cavity.

[0048] A plurality of covers 51 are serially connected in sequence through pipelines, and an air inlet 52 is provided on the cover 51 at the head end, and an air outlet 53 is provided on the cover 51 at the tail end; the plurality of air inlet holes 52 are all connected to the mist exhaust port of the atomizer 6, and the water mist or atomized culture solution discharged from the atomizer 6 will pass through the plurality of germination cavities in sequence, and finally be discharged to the atmosphere from the air outlet 53. This design enables the germination cavity to be kept moist at all times on the one hand, and on the other hand, the germination cavity has good air permeability.

[0049] A plurality of circular liquid replenishing holes 54 are evenly arranged on the plate body 50. The upper plate surface of the plate body 50 is located below the end wall of the open end of the box body 2. The upper plate surface of the plate body 50 and the side wall of the box body 2 can form a liquid adding groove. The operator can add culture solution into the liquid adding groove. The culture solution passes through the liquid replenishing holes 54 and is adsorbed to the germination plate 4 and the accommodating cavity 40.

[0050] The side wall of the box body 2 is opened and blocked with a transparent panel 7 , and the transparent panel 7 is provided with scale lines 70 arranged in sequence along the height direction of the box body 2 , so that the operator can visually observe the amount of the culture solution in the box body 2 .

[0051] When the germination device is in use, the base 1 and the box body 2 are first arranged horizontally, and then the citrus seeds to be germinated are placed in the accommodating cavity 40, and finally the partition 3, the germination plate 4 and the cover body 5 are installed in sequence. After the above installation is completed, the culture solution is added to the box body 2 through the liquid channel 21 or the liquid replenishing hole 54. After the culture solution is added, the atomizer 6 is turned on and the germination process begins.

[0052] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
