Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seed storage, and in particular to an intelligent temperature-controlled seed storage device for new grain varieties. Background Art

[0002] Seeds are the foundation of plant reproduction, and proper seed storage is crucial for agricultural production, plant resource conservation, scientific research, and breeding. Proper seed storage maintains seed vitality and germination rates, extending the lifespan of seeds and ensuring high-quality seeds are available for sowing or research when needed.

[0003] During seed storage, temperature is a key factor affecting seed longevity. Generally speaking, lower temperatures weaken seed respiration and slow metabolic activity, thereby extending seed lifespan. For example, at normal temperatures (20-30°C), many seeds may only have a lifespan of a few years; at low temperatures (0-5°C), however, their lifespan can be extended to decades or even centuries. Different types of seeds also have different temperature requirements. Some tropical plant seeds may be more sensitive to low temperatures and susceptible to chilling damage at low temperatures, while seeds from temperate and boreal zones are more suitable for storage under low temperature conditions.

[0004] At present, most of the storage methods used for seed storage are to use a single storage cylinder to collect seeds and store them in a corresponding temperature-controlled warehouse. Due to the single structure of the storage cylinder, seeds at different heights may have uneven temperature distribution during storage. It is understandable that the temperature of seeds near the cylinder wall is closer to the warehouse temperature, while the seeds near the center of the cylinder have less contact with the external environment, resulting in a large temperature difference, which reduces the survival rate of seeds to a certain extent and poor storage effect. The common practice requires staff to regularly turn over the seeds in the cylinder to ensure that the seeds are fully in contact with the external environment and ensure temperature stability during storage. However, this method is more labor-intensive and cumbersome to operate. Therefore, it is urgent to design an intelligent temperature-controlled seed storage device for new grain varieties to solve the problem of poor storage effect during current seed storage.

[0024] Furthermore, the turning assembly 5 includes a movable column 51 movably arranged at the axial center of the storage cylinder 2, a linkage gear ring 52 movably embedded in the center of the top cover 3, a linkage component 55 movably embedded in the movable column 51, a linkage gear 53 arranged near the top of the linkage component 55, and a linkage tooth chain 54 for connecting the top of the linkage component 55 and the linkage gear 53.

[0025] Furthermore, the temperature control processor 10 is electrically connected to the temperature display screen 7 and the temperature control component 11 respectively. The temperature control component 11 includes a fixed sleeve 111, a temperature detection component 112 at least partially embedded in the top of the fixed sleeve 111, a temperature control trigger component 113 arranged near one side of the temperature control processor, and a flip baffle 114 transmission-connected to the temperature control trigger component 113. The flip baffle 114 rotates axially along the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 111. The temperature control trigger component 113 includes a second motor 1131 axially connected to the flip baffle 114, a first motor switch 1132 and a second motor switch 1133 respectively arranged on both sides of the output end of the temperature detection component 112, and a condenser 1134 arranged at the bottom of the flip baffle 114. The temperature detection component 112 is a piston output structure, including a fixed cylinder and a piston rod movably arranged in the fixed cylinder, and a first motor switch 1132 and a second motor switch 1134 are arranged on both sides of the piston rod.

[0026] In the specific implementation, first, the operator can introduce the seeds into the storage barrel 2 along the two discharge ports 4 in sequence to implement the storage operation, and wake up the temperature control processor 10 in sequence to control the temperature control component 11, the temperature display screen 7, the drive assembly 7, and the turning assembly 5 respectively, so as to implement temperature control management operations on the seeds in the storage barrel 2, wherein the temperature control processor 10 serves as the main control element and can implement corresponding adjustments based on the temperature distribution in the storage barrel 2. In addition, in some optional embodiments, the temperature control processor 10 can be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit; microcontroller unit) chip, so as to realize the control of the temperature control component 11, the temperature display screen 7, the drive assembly 7, and the turning assembly 5 through the MCU chip, and the temperature control processor 10 is electrically connected to the temperature control component 11, the temperature display screen 7, the drive assembly 7, and the turning assembly 5, and the electrical connection includes a wired connection and a wireless connection, and the wireless connection method includes but is not limited to Bluetooth connection, WiFi, IF Radio frequency, zigbee, and wired connection methods include but are not limited to USB lines that connect the temperature control component 11, the temperature display screen 7, the drive assembly 7, and the turning assembly 5 to the temperature control processor 10 respectively, and then implement temperature control management operations on the seeds in the storage tube 2. Specifically, the temperature control processor 10 controls the temperature control trigger 113 on the temperature control component 11 to control and adjust the temperature. During the process, the temperature detection component 112 in direct contact with the seeds detects the seed temperature, and the temperature detection component 112 is loaded with kerosene. According to the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of kerosene, as a liquid, its molecular distance is significantly affected by temperature. When the temperature rises, the molecular thermal motion intensifies, the average distance between molecules increases, and the volume of kerosene expands; when the temperature drops, the molecular motion slows down, the molecular distance decreases, and the volume of kerosene shrinks. When the seed temperature rises, the piston rod in the temperature detection component 112 is triggered to push toward the side close to the first motor switch 1132, and the first motor switch 1132 is triggered to control the second motor 1131 to turn on, and the second motor 1131 drives the flip partition 114 to rotate axially along the inner side of the fixed sleeve 111, so that the through holes on both sides of the fixed sleeve 111 are opened, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5The through-hole structure shown above, at the same time, after the second motor 1131 is triggered, the trigger signal can be fed back to the temperature control processor 10, and the temperature control processor 10 controls the condenser 1134 located at the inner bottom of the fixed sleeve 111 to open, and the fixed sleeve 111 is cooled, and the cold air can be directly discharged along the through-hole on the fixed sleeve 111 to cool the external seeds. During the process, when the temperature of the seed drops, the temperature detection part 112 in direct contact with the seed will directly detect and cause the volume of the kerosene inside it to shrink, causing the trigger piston rod to move toward the second motor switch 1133, and trigger the second motor switch 1133 to control the second motor 1131 to close and rotate, and drive the flip partition 114 to seal the through-holes on both sides of the fixed sleeve 111 to prevent the seeds from being frozen and realize the corresponding temperature control operation.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to improve the temperature control coverage of seeds and enhance the temperature control effect, the temperature control processor 10 can control the drive assembly 8 to open while the air temperature control component 11 is in operation, so as to drive the turning assembly 5 to turn the seeds, and at the same time, the temperature control component 11 can cover a large area of ​​the seeds in the storage tube 2 with temperature control. Specifically, the first motor 82 drives the active gear 83 at its output end to rotate, and the active gear 83 drives the linkage gear plate 84 and the movable column 51 to rotate in turn, and the movable column 51 drives the temperature control component 11 and the turning piece to rotate at the same time, so as to realize the turning of the seeds while enabling the temperature control component 11 to implement a large area temperature control coverage process. In the process, for the specific implementation of the turning piece, when the movable column 51 rotates following the linkage gear plate 84, it can drive the linkage gear 54 at its top to rotate. During the process, the linkage gear 54 will also mesh with the linkage gear ring 52 and rotate, so that the linkage gear 54 rotates along its own axis, and thereby drives its top gear to drive the linkage gear chain 54 to rotate, and the linkage gear chain 54 drives the linkage rod 551 to rotate along its own axis, and then the linkage rod 551 drives the driving tooth 552 to the driven tooth 553 and the two-way threaded column 554 to rotate in turn, and finally the two-way threaded column 554 drives the driving sleeve column 555 sleeved on its outer surface to the turning part 556 to make a reciprocating motion toward or away from the driven tooth 553 side, so that the linkage component 55 can also realize the reciprocating driving operation of the turning part 556 in the process of following the rotation of the movable column 51, so as to improve the turning quality of the seeds and achieve the purpose of efficient turning, so as to ensure that the seeds can fully implement the corresponding temperature control operation, and further improve the storage effect of the seeds.

[0028] In summary, the intelligent temperature-controlled seed storage device for new grain varieties in the above-mentioned embodiments drives the turning assembly 5 to rotate along its axial direction in the storage cylinder 2 through the driving assembly 8 to realize the turning operation of the seeds on the path, and at the same time drives the temperature control component 11 to follow the rotation, so as to realize temperature control treatment of the seeds on the path while cooperating with the turning, thereby improving the accuracy of the seed temperature control process and the storage effect, and solving the problem of poor storage effect in the current seed storage process.
