Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of storage devices, and more particularly to a seed storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Whether seed storage devices are ventilated or sealed affects the respiration intensity and mode of seeds. Regardless of seed moisture content, the respiration intensity under ventilated conditions is greater than that under sealed conditions. High-moisture seeds, if stored under sealed conditions, will quickly deplete the oxygen stored in the internal gaps due to vigorous respiration, forcing them to switch to anaerobic respiration. This leads to the accumulation of substances such as alcohols, aldehydes, and acids, which are toxic to the embryo and cause rapid seed death. Therefore, a device is needed to ensure that seeds are kept at low temperatures and dry during storage.

[0003] Most existing equipment occupies a large space and does not allow for a direct view of seed storage conditions, making it difficult to detect when some seeds die or show abnormalities.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a seed storage device that allows for a direct view of the seed storage status. Summary of the Invention To address the problem of not being able to visually observe the condition of seeds, this invention proposes a seed storage device.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention proposes a seed storage device comprising a storage tank and a partition disposed inside the storage tank, wherein: The storage tank is made of transparent material, and the partition is provided with through holes. The partition is horizontally arranged inside the storage tank and divides the storage tank into an upper first cavity and a lower second cavity. The first cavity and the second cavity are used to store seeds and desiccant, respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, the storage tank is provided with openings at the top and bottom, and the openings are connected to the storage tank and seal the top and bottom of the storage tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer walls of the top and bottom of the storage tank are provided with threads, and the cover is fixedly connected to the storage tank through the threads.

[0008] Furthermore, the desiccant is a color-changing silica gel desiccant. Furthermore, the storage tank is made of PP polypropylene.

[0009] Furthermore, the storage tank is cylindrical, with a length and outer diameter of 116 mm and 28 mm, respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the volume of the storage tank is 50 ml.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) The seed storage device proposed in this invention uses a partition to divide the storage tank into upper and lower parts to place the desiccant and seeds respectively. With the transparent material of the storage tank, it is easier to observe the storage status of the seeds. At the same time, the desiccant can be dried and reused repeatedly. Compared with the existing storage devices, it does not need to be powered.

[0012] (2) The seed storage device proposed in this invention uses color-changing silica gel desiccant as a seed desiccant. Color-changing silica gel desiccant has a strong adsorption effect on water vapor in the air. At the same time, it can display different colors by changing the amount of cobalt chloride crystal water it contains. That is, it gradually changes from blue before absorbing moisture to light red as the amount of moisture absorbed increases. At the same time, it can also intuitively indicate the relative humidity of the environment by changing its own color from blue to red after absorbing moisture. After absorbing moisture and changing color, heating can restore its original color, so it can be reused, thus reducing costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The present invention proposes a seed storage device comprising a storage tank 1 and a partition 3 disposed inside the storage tank 1, wherein: The storage tank 1 is made of transparent material. The partition 3 has through holes. The partition 3 is horizontally placed inside the storage tank 1, dividing the storage tank 1 into an upper first cavity and a lower second cavity. The first cavity and the second cavity are used to store seeds and desiccant 4, respectively.

[0016] In a specific embodiment, the storage tank 1 is divided into two chambers by a partition 3. A desiccant 4 is placed in the bottom chamber to dry the seeds in the top chamber. The desiccant 4 keeps the seeds dry, and the inside of the storage tank 1 can be kept at a low temperature. The partition 3 separates the storage tank 1 into upper and lower parts to place the desiccant 4 and the seeds respectively. With the transparent material of the storage tank 1, it is easier to observe the storage condition of the seeds. At the same time, the desiccant 4 can be dried and reused repeatedly. Compared with existing storage devices, it does not require electricity.

[0017] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the storage tank 1 are provided with opening covers 2, which are connected to the storage tank 1 and seal the top and bottom of the storage tank 1.

[0018] In a specific implementation, the lid 2 seals the top and bottom of the storage tank 1 to form a sealed space. The lid 2 can be opened to take out the seeds at any time to observe their condition, making it more convenient to store seeds, replace the desiccant 4, and clean the tank.

[0019] Furthermore, the outer walls of the top and bottom of the storage tank 1 are provided with threads, and the cover 2 is fixedly connected to the storage tank 1 through the threads.

[0020] In a specific implementation, the cover 2 is connected to the storage tank 1 by threads. Other connection structures, such as buckles, slots, and grooves, can also be selected according to the actual situation to facilitate the opening and closing of the cover 2.

[0021] Furthermore, desiccant 4 is color-changing silica gel desiccant 4. In a specific embodiment, the color-changing silica gel desiccant 4 has a strong adsorption effect on water vapor in the air, and at the same time, it can display different colors by changing the amount of cobalt chloride crystal water it contains, that is, from blue before moisture absorption to light red as the amount of moisture absorbed increases; at the same time, it can also visually indicate the relative humidity of the environment by changing its own color from blue to red after absorbing moisture; after absorbing moisture and changing color, heating can restore its original color, so it can be reused, thus reducing costs.

[0022] Furthermore, the storage tank 1 is made of PP polypropylene, is cylindrical, and has a length and outer diameter of 116mm and 28mm respectively. The volume of the storage tank 1 is 50ml.

[0023] In specific implementations, the storage tank 1 can also be made of other materials, have other shapes, and have other sizes and thicknesses. If a cylindrical shape is selected, a threaded cover 2 is provided for opening. If other shapes are selected, the cover 2 needs to be set as a snap-on or other connection structure.

[0024] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
