Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of seed cultivation, and more particularly to a seed germination device. Background Technology

[0002] When seeds germinate naturally, they are easily affected by fluctuations in temperature and humidity, as well as their own dormancy period, resulting in low germination rates, poor germination uniformity, and long germination cycles, which cannot meet the needs of efficient seedling cultivation in agricultural production. Germination pretreatment allows for precise control of the temperature and humidity conditions required for seed germination, breaking seed dormancy, significantly improving germination rates and uniformity, and shortening the germination cycle. This lays a solid foundation for subsequent seedling cultivation and crop growth, making germination pretreatment a crucial step in ensuring seedling efficiency and quality in agricultural production. In the germination process of seeds such as beans, the conventional procedure requires first washing the screened seeds in a cleaning device to remove impurities and contaminants from the seed coat surface. After washing, the seeds are taken out and soaked in a soaking tank to allow them to fully absorb water and swell. After soaking, the seeds are manually spread out on a tray in the germination box, the germination box is closed, and the temperature and humidity inside the box are adjusted to wait for the seeds to germinate. This completes the seed germination process. However, the above germination process requires manual handling of the seeds multiple times and spreading them out, which is labor-intensive and affects the germination efficiency.

[0003] The prior art discloses an integrated pumpkin seed soaking and germination device (publication number CN118414936B), which integrates the processes of stirring, washing, soaking and spreading the seeds for germination into one, eliminating the need for manual handling of pumpkin seeds and making the soaking and germination of pumpkin seeds more efficient. However, this device has many linkage parts and a relatively complex structure. It is prone to failure during use due to wear or mismatch of parts, and maintenance and repair are cumbersome. Therefore, there is a need to provide an integrated germination device with a simple structure and good stability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this application is to provide a seed germination device with a relatively simple structure, good stability, and no need for frequent inspection and maintenance, thereby improving the processing efficiency of seed germination.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a seed germination device, comprising a base, a limiting pusher, a support frame, a shell, a cleaning and soaking assembly, and a germination assembly. The limiting pusher and the support frame are respectively mounted on the base. The shell is mounted on the support frame and contains a feeding chamber, a cleaning and soaking chamber, and a discharging chamber. The shell is provided with a first drain pipe, a second drain pipe, and a discharging pipe. The first drain pipe communicates with the feeding chamber, and the second drain pipe communicates with one side of the bottom of the discharging chamber. Drain valves are respectively provided on the first and second drain pipes. The discharging pipe communicates with the bottom of the discharging chamber and contains a discharging valve. A flexible spreading plate is provided at the bottom of the discharging pipe. The cleaning and soaking assembly is mounted on the shell. A cleaning frame within the cleaning and soaking assembly is located within the cleaning and soaking chamber and is rotatably connected to the feeding and discharging chambers. Multiple material-blocking holes are provided on the cleaning frame. The germination assembly is slidably mounted on the base and abuts against the limiting pusher. A tray within the germination assembly is located at the bottom of the discharging pipe and abuts against the flexible spreading plate.

[0007] In addition, the seed germination device proposed in this application may also have the following additional technical features: In one embodiment of this application, the cleaning and soaking assembly further includes a cleaning motor, a barrier net, an agitator blade, and a reversing drive, wherein the cleaning motor is mounted on the housing; the cleaning frame is rotatably mounted on the housing and located within the cleaning and soaking chamber; the agitator blade is mounted within the cleaning frame, and the output shaft of the cleaning motor is connected to the agitator blade; the barrier net is mounted on the cleaning frame and located on one side of the agitator blade; one end of the reversing drive is connected to the output shaft of the cleaning motor, and the other end of the reversing drive is connected to the cleaning frame.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the cleaning frame includes a drive base plate and a baffle cylinder, wherein the drive base plate is rotatably disposed within the housing; the baffle cylinder is disposed on the drive base plate and abuts against the inner wall of the housing, and the baffle cylinder has a material inlet and outlet, which are rotatably connected to the loading chamber and the unloading chamber; a baffle hole is formed on the baffle cylinder.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the reversing drive includes a ratchet and a pawl, wherein the ratchet is disposed on the output shaft of the cleaning motor; the pawl is disposed on the drive base plate; and the ratchet and pawl are engaged in one direction.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the germination component further includes a box, a tray disposed inside the box, and a box cover disposed on the box.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, a cotton cloth is provided on the tray, liquid is added to the box, one end of the cotton cloth is immersed in the liquid, and a heating wire is provided inside the tray.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the limiting pusher includes two limiting baffles, an electric telescopic rod, and a push plate. The two limiting baffles are respectively disposed on the base. The side of the germination component abuts against the corresponding limiting baffle. The electric telescopic rod is disposed on one side of the base, and the extension shaft of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the push plate. The push plate abuts against one end of the germination component.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The washing and soaking components enable the seeds to undergo washing and soaking processes. The first and second drain pipes effectively discharge the wastewater and impurities after washing. The flexible spreading plate allows the seeds to be evenly spread on the tray. The germination component enables the seeds to germinate. As a result, there is no need for staff to repeatedly transfer and spread the seeds, thus reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0017] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0018] The seed germination device of this application embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the seed germination device of this application embodiment includes a base 1, a limiting pusher 2, a support frame 3, a shell 4, a cleaning and soaking component 5, and a germination component 6.

[0020] The limiting pusher 2 and the support frame 3 are respectively installed on the base 1.

[0021] In this embodiment of the application, the limiting pusher 2 is used to push the germination component 6 placed on the base 1, thereby ensuring that the germination component 6 moves at a uniform speed.

[0022] The housing 4 is mounted on the support frame 3, and the housing 4 includes a feeding chamber 40, a cleaning and soaking chamber 41, and a discharging chamber 42.

[0023] It should be noted that the shell 4 described in this embodiment is arranged vertically through the shell, which facilitates the loading and unloading of seeds.

[0024] The housing 4 is provided with a first drain pipe 43, a second drain pipe 44 and a discharge pipe 45. The first drain pipe 43 is connected to the feeding chamber 40, and the second drain pipe 44 is connected to the bottom side of the discharge chamber 42. Drain valves 430 are respectively provided on the first drain pipe 43 and the second drain pipe 44.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first drain pipe 43 is located below the liquid level (pointing to the liquid level when the cleaning liquid is injected into the housing 4) and is used to discharge impurities floating in the cleaning liquid.

[0026] It should be noted that the drain valve 430 described in this embodiment is a common valve body on the market and is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0027] The bottom of the feeding pipe 45 is connected to the bottom of the feeding chamber 42. A feeding valve 450 is installed inside the feeding pipe 45, and a flexible material spreading plate 451 is installed at the bottom of the feeding pipe 45.

[0028] In this embodiment, the feeding valve 450 is used to control the feeding of seeds.

[0029] It should be noted that the feeding valve 450 described in this embodiment is a spring-loaded flexible diaphragm valve or a flexible cone valve, which are common valves on the market and will not damage the seeds, thereby ensuring the quality of seed germination and preventing seed damage.

[0030] It should be noted that the flexible spreading plate 451 described in this embodiment is made of rubber and has a certain degree of hardness, thereby ensuring the spreading effect of the seeds and not damaging the seeds.

[0031] The cleaning and soaking assembly 5 is mounted on the housing 4. The cleaning frame 51 in the cleaning and soaking assembly 5 is located in the cleaning and soaking chamber 41 and is rotatably connected to the feeding chamber 40 and the unloading chamber 42. The cleaning frame 51 is provided with multiple material blocking holes 5110.

[0032] In this embodiment, the washing and soaking assembly 5 is used to stir, wash, and soak the seeds, and drives the washing frame 51 to rotate as needed. Furthermore, the washing frame 51 is connected to the feeding chamber 40 to load the seeds, and connected to the discharging chamber 42 to unload the seeds.

[0033] In this embodiment of the application, the material blocking hole 5110 is used to block the seeds and allow impurities to leak out.

[0034] Specifically, during the washing or soaking process, floating impurities are discharged from the upper baffle hole 5110, and settled impurities are discharged from the lower baffle hole 5110. During drainage, floating impurities are discharged from the first drain pipe 43, and settled seeds are discharged from the second drain pipe 44.

[0035] The germination component 6 is slidably mounted on the base 1 and abuts against the limiting pusher 2. The tray 61 in the germination component 6 is located at the bottom of the feed pipe 45 and abuts against the flexible spreader 451.

[0036] In this embodiment, the germination component 6 is used to germinate the seeds.

[0037] It is understandable that by abutting the flexible spreading plate 451 against the feeding pipe 45, the seeds are ensured to be spread on the tray 61 after being fed from the feeding pipe 45 to the tray 61.

[0038] Specifically, during the actual operation, the relevant personnel pour the seeds into the shell 4 and then into the cleaning frame 51. The controller (not shown in the figure) controls the operation of the cleaning and soaking component 5, which drives the cleaning frame 51 to rotate. This causes the cleaning frame 51 to rotate and block the feeding chamber 40 and the discharging chamber 42 of the shell 4, thus limiting the material within the cleaning frame 51. The relevant personnel then inject cleaning liquid into the shell 4 and inject it above the first drain pipe 43.

[0039] The cleaning and soaking assembly 5 operates, stirring and cleaning the seeds within the cleaning frame 51. The cleaned impurities are categorized into settleable impurities and floating impurities. Floating impurities are discharged through the upper baffle hole 5110 of the cleaning frame 51 at this state, while settled impurities are discharged through the lower baffle hole 5110 of the cleaning frame 51 at this state. After cleaning, first, the drain valve 430 of the first drain pipe 43 is opened, allowing the floating impurities to drain out. Then, the drain valve 430 of the second drain pipe 44 is opened, allowing the settled impurities and remaining cleaning solution to drain out, thus completing the seed cleaning process.

[0040] The drain valves 430 of the first drain pipe 43 and the second drain pipe 44 are closed. The relevant personnel inject liquid into the housing 4 again and inject it above the second drain pipe 44. After soaking for a certain period of time, the cleaning process is repeated to drain the liquid into the housing 4 and close the drain valves 430 of the first drain pipe 43 and the second drain pipe 44.

[0041] The cleaning and soaking component 5 drives the cleaning frame 51 to rotate, so that the cleaning frame 51 is connected to the feeding chamber 42, and the soaked seeds fall into the feeding chamber 42 and are intercepted by the feeding valve 450. The controller controls the operation of the limiting pusher 2, which pushes the tray 61 in the germination component 6 to gradually move to the feeding pipe 45. When it moves to the bottom of the feeding pipe 45 (detected by a position sensor, which can be set at any valid detection position and is existing technology, not described in detail here), the controller controls the feeding valve 450 to open, and the material leaks onto the tray 61. The limiting pusher 2 continues to push the germination component 6 at a uniform speed, so that the flexible spreading plate 451 flattens the material on the tray 61. When the tail of the tray 61 gradually approaches the feeding pipe 45 (detected by the position sensor), the feeding valve 450 closes. If there is still material inside the shell 4, wait for the next germination component 6 to be delivered. After the seeds are flattened, place the germination component 6 on one side and germinate the flattened seeds to complete the seed germination process.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning and soaking assembly 5 also includes a cleaning motor 50, a barrier net 52, an agitator blade 53, and a reversing drive component 54.

[0043] The cleaning motor 50 is mounted on the housing 4, the cleaning frame 51 is rotatably mounted on the housing 4 and located in the cleaning soaking chamber 41, the stirring blade 53 is mounted in the cleaning frame 51, the output shaft of the cleaning motor 50 is connected to the stirring blade 53, the barrier net 52 is mounted on the cleaning frame 51 and located on one side of the stirring blade 53, one end of the reversing drive 54 is connected to the output shaft of the cleaning motor 50, and the other end of the reversing drive 54 is connected to the cleaning frame 51.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cleaning motor 50 is used to drive the stirring blades 53 and the cleaning frame 51 to rotate.

[0045] Understandably, the barrier net 52 is designed to prevent seeds from entering the stirring area of ​​the stirring blade 53, thus avoiding seed damage.

[0046] In this embodiment, the reversing drive 54 is used to control the rotation of the cleaning frame 51.

[0047] Specifically, when the cleaning motor 50 rotates clockwise, it drives the agitator blade 53 to rotate, while the cleaning frame 51 does not rotate. When the cleaning motor 50 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the reversing drive component 54 to move. The reversing drive component 54 slides against or engages with the cleaning frame 51 (engaging when it drives the cleaning frame 51 to rotate, and sliding against it when it does not drive the cleaning frame 51), and drives the cleaning frame 51 to rotate.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning frame 51 includes a drive base plate 510 and a baffle cylinder 511.

[0049] The drive base plate 510 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 4, the baffle cylinder 511 is disposed on the drive base plate 510 and abuts against the inner wall of the housing 4, and the baffle cylinder 511 is provided with a material inlet and outlet 5111, which is rotatably connected to the feeding chamber 40 and the discharging chamber 42, and the baffle hole 5110 is provided on the baffle cylinder 511.

[0050] It is understandable that the opening of material inlet and outlet 5111 enables the feeding and discharging of seeds.

[0051] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the reversing drive 54 includes a ratchet 540 and a pawl 541.

[0052] The ratchet 540 is mounted on the output shaft of the cleaning motor 50, and the pawl 541 is mounted on the drive base plate 510. The ratchet 540 and the pawl 541 are engaged in one direction.

[0053] It should be noted that the ratchet 540 and pawl 541 described in this embodiment are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the germination component 6 also includes a box 60, a tray 61 is disposed inside the box 60, and a box cover 600 is disposed on the box 60.

[0055] It should be noted that multiple trays 61 can be provided in this embodiment. After the material is spread on one tray 61, the tray 61 is placed at the bottom of the box 60, and another tray 61 is placed on the box 60 and the material spreading operation is performed, thereby saving the use of the box 60 and reducing the use cost of this device.

[0056] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, a cotton cloth 62 is placed on the tray 61, and liquid is added inside the box 60. One end of the cotton cloth 62 is immersed in the liquid, and a heating wire 610 is placed inside the tray 61.

[0057] Understandably, the cotton cloth 62 can wipe away some of the moisture on the seeds, and by immersing one end of the cotton cloth 62 in the liquid, the cotton cloth 62 is kept moist, making it suitable for moist germination of bean seeds. In addition, the heating wire 610 ensures the germination temperature of the seeds on the cotton cloth 62.

[0058] It should be noted that the heating wire 610 described in this embodiment is connected to a temperature controller (not shown in the figure). The temperature controller is connected to the controller to ensure the temperature control effect of the heating wire 610.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting pusher component 2 includes two limiting baffles 20, an electric telescopic rod 21, and a pusher plate 22.

[0060] Two limiting baffles 20 are respectively set on the base 1, and the side of the germination component 6 abuts against the corresponding limiting baffles 20. The electric telescopic rod 21 is set on one side of the base 1, and the extension shaft of the electric telescopic rod 21 is connected to the push plate 22. The push plate 22 abuts against one end of the germination component 6.

[0061] It should be noted that rollers may be provided on the two limiting baffles 20 described in this embodiment to facilitate the movement of the germination component 6.

[0062] The steps for using this device are as follows: Step 1, feeding: Pour the seeds into the shell 4 and let them fall into the baffle cylinder 511. The cleaning motor 50 rotates counterclockwise to control the baffle cylinder 511 to block the feeding chamber 40 and the unloading chamber 42.

[0063] Step 2, cleaning: Inject cleaning fluid into the housing 4, with the fluid level above the first drain pipe 43. The cleaning motor 50 rotates clockwise, driving the stirring blades 53 to rotate inside the baffle cylinder 511. The floating impurities that are cleaned float on the surface of the cleaning fluid through the baffle hole 5110, and the precipitated impurities settle to the discharge chamber 42 through the baffle hole 5110.

[0064] Step 3, removing impurities: First, open the drain valve 430 of the first drain pipe 43 to discharge floating impurities from the first drain pipe 43, and then open the second drain pipe 44 to discharge precipitated impurities.

[0065] Step 4, soaking: Close the drain valves 430 of the first drain pipe 43 and the second drain pipe 44, inject clean water into the housing 4, and ensure that the liquid level is above the first drain pipe 43. After soaking for a certain period of time, repeat the impurity removal steps to drain the soaking water.

[0066] Step 5, spreading the material: The cleaning motor 50 rotates counterclockwise, indirectly driving the baffle cylinder 511 to rotate, so that the material inlet and outlet 5111 is connected to the discharge chamber 42. The control limit pusher 2 pushes the germination component 6, and controls the discharge valve 450 to make the seeds fall onto the tray 61. The flexible spreading plate 451 abuts against the seeds and spreads the seeds.

[0067] Step 6, Germination: Cover the box 60 with the lid 600. The controller indirectly controls the heating temperature of the heating wire 610. The heating wire 610 heats the moist cotton cloth 62. After a certain period of time, germination is completed.

[0068] Specifically, the working principle of this device is as follows: During actual operation, the relevant personnel pour the seeds into the housing 4 and into the cleaning frame 51. The controller (not shown in the figure) controls the cleaning motor 50 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the ratchet 540 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the pawl 541 engages with the ratchet 540. The ratchet 540 drives the pawl 541 to rotate, and the pawl 541 drives the drive base plate 510 and the baffle cylinder 511 to rotate inside the housing 4. This causes the material inlet and outlet 5111 to rotate to one side and be blocked by the housing 4, thus limiting the seeds to the cleaning frame 51. The relevant personnel inject cleaning liquid into the housing 4 and inject it above the first drain pipe 43.

[0069] The cleaning motor 50 rotates clockwise (at this time, the pawl 541 and ratchet 540 are not engaged, but rather slide against each other, and will not drive the drive base plate 510 to rotate), driving the stirring blade 53 to rotate. The stirring blade 53 stirs the cleaning fluid, agitating and cleaning the seeds in the cleaning frame 51. The cleaned impurities are divided into settleable impurities and floating impurities. The floating impurities are discharged from the upper baffle hole 5110 of the baffle cylinder 511 at this state, and the settled impurities are discharged from the lower baffle hole 5110 of the baffle cylinder 511 at this state. After cleaning, first open the drain valve 430 of the first drain pipe 43 to allow the floating impurities to be discharged from the first drain pipe 43. Then open the drain valve 430 of the second drain pipe 44 to discharge the settled impurities and the remaining cleaning fluid, thus completing the seed cleaning.

[0070] The drain valves 430 of the first drain pipe 43 and the second drain pipe 44 are closed. The relevant personnel inject liquid into the housing 4 again and inject it above the second drain pipe 44. After soaking for a certain period of time, the cleaning process is repeated to drain the liquid into the housing 4 and close the drain valves 430 of the first drain pipe 43 and the second drain pipe 44.

[0071] The cleaning motor 50 rotates in the reverse direction again, the ratchet 540 engages with the pawl 541 and drives the drive base plate 510 and the baffle cylinder 511 to rotate, so that the material inlet / outlet 5111 is connected to the discharge chamber 42, and the soaked seeds fall into the discharge chamber 42 and are intercepted by the discharge valve 450. The controller controls the electric telescopic rod 21 to extend, pushing the tray 61 in the box 60 to gradually move to the discharge pipe 45. When it moves to the bottom of the discharge pipe 45 (detected by the position sensor, which can be set at any valid detection position and is existing technology, not described in detail here), the controller controls the discharge valve 450 to open, and the material leaks onto the tray 61. The electric telescopic rod 21 continues to push the box 60 and the tray 61 at a constant speed, so that the flexible spreading plate 451 spreads the seeds on the tray 61. When the tail of the tray 61 (i.e. the end of the tray 61 that is last spread) gradually approaches the discharge pipe 45 (detected by the position sensor), the discharge valve 450 closes. If there is still material inside the shell 4, wait for the next germination component 6 to be delivered. After the seeds are flattened, place the germination component 6 on one side and germinate the flattened seeds to complete the seed germination process.

[0072] In summary, the seed germination device of this application embodiment has a relatively simple structure, good stability, and does not require frequent inspection and maintenance, thereby improving the processing efficiency of seed germination.
