Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of seed soaking and germination equipment, and more specifically relates to an easy-to-clean germination tank. Background Art

[0002] Seed soaking is a process in agricultural planting. It means that for seeds that germinate slowly, the seeds need to be soaked before sowing. The purpose of seed soaking is to make the seeds absorb water faster and reach the moisture content that can germinate normally. The moisture content of dry seeds is usually below 15%, and the physiological activity is very weak, and they are in a dormant state. After the seeds absorb water, the seed coat swells and softens, and the oxygen dissolved in the water enters the cells along with the water, and the enzymes in the seeds begin to activate. Due to the action of the enzyme, the respiration of the embryo is enhanced, and the insoluble substances stored in the endosperm are gradually transformed into soluble substances and transported to the embryo along with the water. The embryo obtains water, energy and nutrients. Under suitable temperature and oxygen conditions, the cells begin to divide and elongate, so that the seeds germinate.

[0003] In the process of soaking and germinating, the control of temperature is particularly important. In conventional seed soaking and germinating equipment, seeds are generally easy to pile up together, which leads to excessively high temperature in the center, and is prone to the adverse effects of burning and rotting seeds. For this reason, stirring or shaking is usually used to avoid the generation of local high temperature. For example, in the patent CN102257898A, a rotary plant fruit soaking and germinating growth device is disclosed. This application case frequently rotates the germination and growth container, lifts the material to be germinated to a certain height and then allows it to fall freely, so that the relative positions of the materials change frequently, and can force the materials to be evenly mixed, stirred and turned, avoiding the mutual extrusion phenomenon between the materials. At the same time, the material is in friendly contact with the gas in the growth environment during the free fall from high to low, which solves the problem of air permeability and also solves the problem of inconsistent atmosphere between the center and edge microenvironments of the material pile in the germination and growth container.

[0004] For another example, in the patent CN216163235U, a highly efficient seed soaking and germination device for agricultural planting is disclosed. The application case stirs the seeds by rotating the stirring auger, and at the same time, the first rotating rod drives the first gear plate to rotate, the first gear plate drives the transmission chain to rotate, thereby driving the second gear plate to rotate, the second gear plate drives the second rotating rod to rotate, the second rotating rod drives the rotating plate to rotate, thereby driving the third rotating rod to rotate, the third rotating rod drives the limit frame to make a fan-shaped movement, the limit frame drives the swing rod to make a fan-shaped movement, thereby driving the transmission water pipe to make a fan-shaped movement, the transmission water pipe drives the atomizing nozzle to make a fan-shaped movement, and the atomizing nozzle sprays the germination liquid evenly on the seeds, so as to facilitate the uniform and rapid germination of the seeds.

[0005] The above applications all involve technical improvements to germination equipment, and all can improve the accumulation of materials in the tank. However, after the germination device of the above applications discharges the materials, some materials are likely to remain on the inner wall of the tank, which brings inconvenience to the subsequent cleaning operation of the tank.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0034] The embodiment of the present invention is an easy-to-clean germination tank, comprising a tank body 1 and a water supply pipe 2 disposed in the tank body 1, wherein the water supply pipe 2 is provided with a plurality of water outlet nozzles 3 along its axial direction, and the plurality of water outlet nozzles 3 are spirally distributed. The arrangement of the water outlet nozzles 3, on the one hand, can perform water supply operation into the tank body 1 to meet the water demand for germination; on the other hand, during cleaning, the spirally distributed water outlet nozzles 3 can flush the inner wall of the entire tank body 1, thereby quickly and conveniently cleaning the residue on the inner wall.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the tank body 1 includes a tank body 11 and end caps located at both ends of the tank body 11. One end of the water supply pipe 2 passes through one of the end caps, extends into the tank body 11, and is connected to the inner wall of the other end cap.

[0036] Preferably, the water supply pipe 2 is rotatably connected to the two end covers, for example, via bearings.

[0037] At the same time, a temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide sensor 6 is also provided on the water supply pipe 2 to monitor the environment in the tank body 1 to ensure that the seeds are in a good germination environment.

[0038] The tank body 11 is provided with a plurality of drain ports 15, which are also distributed along the axis of the tank body 11. The plurality of drain ports 15 are connected to a drainage pipe (not shown in the figure). In order to prevent the drain ports 15 from being blocked, a filter screen may be provided at the drain ports 15.

[0039] refer to Figure 2 As shown, at least one end cover is provided with a fan 7 and a window observation port 14. The fan 7 is used to blow air into the tank body 1 to ensure that the tank body 1 is kept at a suitable temperature. The germination state of the seeds in the tank body 1 can be observed through the window observation port 14.

[0040] At the same time, a driving chain disc is provided on an end cover opposite to the fan 7, and the driving chain disc is used to connect to a driving source to drive the tank body 1 to rotate.

[0041] For the convenience of description, the two ends of the tank body 1 are respectively recorded as a first end cover 12 and a second end cover 13 .

[0042] Specifically in this embodiment, one end of the water supply pipe 2 is arranged on the inner wall of the second end cover 13 through the bearing 4, and the other end is connected to the electrical slip ring 5 on the first end cover 12, and the end extends to the bracket outside the tank body 1 (not shown in the figure). The electrical slip ring 5 is selected for connection to prevent the need for later wiring to prevent the entanglement of lines or pipes.

[0043] At the same time, the observation window 14 and the fan 7 are both arranged on the second end cover 13, and the observation window 14 is arranged near the drain port 15. This is because, during the soaking and germination process of the seeds, the drain port 15 is located at the bottom of the tank body 11. At this time, the seeds in the tank body 1 are also concentrated in the lower part of the tank body 1. The observation window 14 is arranged near the drain port 15, which can facilitate the observation of the seeds in the tank body 1.

[0044] As another implementation of this embodiment, in this embodiment, the tank body 1 is arranged horizontally, and a material inlet and outlet 16 is provided on the tank body 11. The material inlet and outlet 16 serves as a material inlet when the tank body 11 rotates to the top, and serves as a material outlet when the tank body 11 rotates to the bottom. Of course, in order to enable the tank body 1 to rotate, the tank body 1 needs to be connected to a driving source.

[0045] Specifically, the drain port 15 is arranged at a position opposite to the material inlet and outlet 16. That is, when the material inlet and outlet 16 rotates to the top along with the can body 11, the drain port 15 is located at the bottom; and when the material inlet and outlet 16 rotates to the bottom along with the can body 11, the drain port 15 is located at the top. At the same time, the fan 7 is arranged near the material inlet and outlet 16.

[0046] In addition, at least three position sensors 8 are provided on the tank body 1 , two of which are used to monitor the rotation angle of the tank body 1 to prevent the tank body 1 from rotating too much, and the other is used to monitor the position of the material inlet and outlet 16 .

[0047] Specifically in this embodiment, four position sensors 8 are arranged on the tank body 1, and are all arranged at the edge of the second end cover 13. One is used to detect when the material inlet and outlet 16 rotates to the top, one is used to detect when the material inlet and outlet 16 rotates to the top; and the other two are used to detect the rotation angle of the tank body 1.

[0048] The present embodiment is an easy-to-clean germination tank. Through the arrangement of the material inlet and outlet 16, on the one hand, the overall structure of the germination tank is simplified, and no special discharging equipment is required; on the other hand, the residual amount of material after discharging can be minimized, which is beneficial to the subsequent cleaning operation of the tank body 1.

[0049] In addition, it should be noted that in the present embodiment, the position sensor, the temperature and humidity carbon dioxide sensor and the electrical slip ring are all purchased directly, and their specific structures and working principles are all existing technologies and will not be introduced again.

[0050] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
