[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] See also Figure 1-6 The utility model provides a technical solution: a seed aging box, including a germination box 1, a box cover 2, a snap-fit ​​strip 3, a limit groove 4, a rotating cover 5, a water level sensor 6, a water pipe 7, a supporting leg 8, an aging shell 9, a sliding plate 10, a card plate 11, and a connecting rod 12.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] The seed aging box for convenient water control is also provided with an auxiliary placement structure, through which the sliding plate 10 drives the aging shell 9 to be placed inside the germination box 1 through the card plate 11 through the connecting rod 12, specifically:

[0033] The upper surface of the germination box 1 is provided with an opening, the edge of the opening is provided with a protrusion, and also includes a box cover 2, the box cover 2 is connected with the protrusion at the upper end of the germination box 1 by snapping, and the germination box 1 is also connected with an auxiliary placement structure, the auxiliary placement structure can prevent the aging shell 9 from tilting when it is placed in the germination box 1 so that the seeds are piled up, and the auxiliary placement structure includes a sliding plate 10, the sliding plate 10 is slidably installed on the inner wall side surface of the germination box 1, and a card plate 11 is installed on the inner side surface of the sliding plate 10, and the distance between the upper surface of the card plate 11 and the bottom end of the sliding plate 10 corresponds to the height of the supporting leg 8, and the supporting leg 8 is installed on the lower surface of the aging shell 9, and the lower surface of the aging shell 9 contacts the upper surface of the card plate 11, and a connecting rod 12 is installed on the inner side surface of the sliding plate 10, and the connecting rod 12 is set to a C-shaped structure, and a handle is provided on the upper surface of the connecting rod 12, and an air vent is provided on the lower surface of the aging shell 9;

[0034] Before placing the aging shell 9 in the seed aging box that is convenient for controlling water, the seeds that need to be aged are first evenly spread in the aging shell 9, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting rod 12 is then used to drive the sliding plate 10 to slide upwards through the handle on the upper surface of the connecting rod 12, so that the inner surface of the sliding plate 10 equipped with the card plate 11 is driven upwards, and then the lower surface of the aging shell 9 is in contact with the upper surface of the card plate 11, so that the card plate 11 drives the aging shell 9 to enter the interior of the germination box 1, and the connecting rod 12 drives the sliding plate 10 to slide downwards. Since the distance between the upper surface of the card plate 11 and the bottom end of the sliding plate 10 corresponds to the height of the supporting leg 8, the supporting leg 8 installed on the lower surface of the aging shell 9 is in contact with the bottom surface of the inner wall of the germination box 1, and through the card plate 1 1 drives the aging shell 9 to be placed into the germination box 1, which can avoid the situation where the aging shell 9 is tilted when placed manually and causes the seeds to pile up. The air holes on the lower surface of the aging shell 9 are designed according to the size of the seeds to avoid the seeds from leaking. After the aging shell 9 is placed, the groove on the lower surface of the box cover 1 is snap-connected with the convex block on the upper end of the germination box 1, so that the box cover 1 is buckled. When manufacturing the aging shell 9, the size of the air holes is designed according to the size of the seeds, and then the 3D printing technology is used to perform integrated printing with high temperature resistant materials according to the designed model. The length, width and height of the aging shell 9 match the market and the germination box 1, which is convenient for promotion and use.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] The seed aging box for convenient water control is provided with a water replenishment structure, and multiple germination boxes 1 are stacked through the limiting groove 4 and water is replenished through the water pipe 7, specifically:

[0037] The germination box 1 is connected with a water replenishment structure, which can not hinder the water addition through the water pipe 7 when the germination boxes 1 are stacked. The water replenishment structure includes a rotating cover 5, which is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the box cover 2, and the upper surface of the box cover 2 corresponding to the rotating cover 5 is provided with a through-type slot, and the lower position of the slot corresponds to the water pipe 7, and the water pipe 7 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the inner wall of the germination box 1. The display screen of the water level sensor 6 is installed on the front surface of the inner wall of the germination box 1, and the lower surface of the germination box 1 is provided with a clamping strip 3, and the upper surface of the box cover 2 is provided with a limiting groove 4, and the groove body of the limiting groove 4 corresponds to the shape of the clamping strip 3, and the clamping strip 3 is set to a C-shaped structure;

[0038] The seed aging box with convenient water control needs to add an appropriate amount of water inside the germination box 1 when in use. When adding water, first rotate the rotating cover 5 on the upper surface of the box cover 2 so that the water pipe 7 corresponding to the position below the slot of the box cover 2 is exposed, and then add water through the upper end of the water pipe 7. When adding, the amount of water added can be controlled by the display screen of the water level sensor 6. The groove body of the limiting groove 4 installed on the upper surface of the box cover 2 corresponds to the shape of the locking strip 3, so the locking strip 3 on the lower surface of another germination box 1 can be locked with the limiting groove 4, so that two germination boxes 1 can be stacked and placed, which can realize batch aging of seeds and ensure the effect of seed aging. The same amount of water is added to each germination box 1 according to the water level sensor 6 to make up for the shortcomings of the traditional aging box in aging humidity and ensure the aging effect. In addition, the humidity inside each box is guaranteed to be the same. Only an ordinary incubator is needed to carry out aging treatment and meet the temperature and humidity requirements required for aging, which reduces the requirements for aging treatment equipment and improves the efficiency of aging treatment. Aging treatment of multiple samples can be carried out without affecting the aging effect, which meets the needs of large-scale aging treatment.

[0039] Working principle: When using the seed aging box that is convenient for water control, an auxiliary placement structure is provided, which can make the aging shell 9 be placed stably in the germination box 1 through the card plate 11 to avoid tilting and causing seed accumulation. A water replenishment structure is also provided, which can add water to the germination box 1 through the water pipe 7 while the germination boxes 1 are stacked, thereby increasing the overall practicality.
