Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of watermelon seedling cultivation, and particularly relates to a seed soaking box for watermelon seedlings. Background Art

[0002] Watermelon seedling breeding requires watermelon seeds to be selected, and inferior seeds such as small seeds, barren seeds, deformed seeds and impurities are removed. Select high-quality seeds with large, full and uniform grains, and then disinfect and soak the high-quality seeds. This process requires disinfection with disinfectant or warm water according to the type of watermelon seeds. The disinfected watermelon seeds are soaked in warm water at about 25°C for several hours to complete the soaking. During the soaking process, the water temperature and oxygen content in the water will affect the germination efficiency of the seeds. Most existing soaking boxes use heaters to directly heat the liquid in the soaking box. If the watermelon seeds are close to the heater, they are likely to lose their activity due to the high temperature. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problem in the prior art that a heater is used to heat the liquid in the seed soaking box or the seed soaking box directly, resulting in uneven temperature in the seed soaking box, and watermelon seeds lose their activity due to being close to the heater or box wall with higher temperature, the utility model provides a seed soaking box for watermelon seedlings, which uses a support net that can be suspended in the box to place watermelon seeds, so as to prevent the seeds from directly contacting the box wall or heater with higher temperature.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] The key to using a soaking box for watermelon seedlings is:

[0006] The seed soaking box comprises a heat-conducting inner box and a heat-insulating outer box, wherein warm water is placed in the heat-conducting inner box and the heat-insulating outer box is arranged outside the heat-conducting inner box;

[0007] A heating pipe, which is arranged between the heat-conducting inner box and the heat-insulating outer box and is located below the bottom plate of the heat-conducting inner box;

[0008] The support net includes a concave mesh plate and a frame. The inner wall of the heat-conducting inner box is provided with a protrusion, the frame is clamped by the protrusion, and the watermelon seeds are placed in the concave mesh plate;

[0009] The oxygenating device comprises a fan and a ventilation pipe, wherein the fan is installed outside the heat-insulating outer box and the ventilation pipe is inserted into the liquid in the heat-conducting inner box.

[0010] The protrusions and the support net cooperate to prevent the support net from contacting the bottom of the heat-conducting inner box, thereby preventing the watermelon seeds from directly contacting the bottom of the heat-conducting inner box with a higher temperature and preventing the watermelon seeds from becoming inactive. The support net can be used to place the watermelon seeds and facilitate the removal and placement of the watermelon seeds. The concave net plate can prevent the watermelon seeds from slipping when placing and taking the support net, thereby reducing the workload of staff in collecting watermelon seeds.

[0011] Preferably, a temperature sensor is also installed in the seed soaking box, and the temperature sensor is arranged below the protrusion. A controller is installed on the outer surface of the thermal insulation outer box. The temperature sensor is connected to the controller signal, and the controller controls the heating tube to start or shut down.

[0012] The temperature of the liquid in the heat-conducting inner box is detected in real time by the temperature sensor, and the upper and lower temperature limits can be preset on the controller. When the temperature sensor detects that the liquid is lower than the preset lower temperature limit, a signal is sent to the controller to control the heating tube to start; when the temperature sensor detects that the liquid reaches the preset upper temperature limit, a signal is sent to the controller to control the heating tube to stop.

[0013] Preferably, the heater is directly electrically connected to an external socket or to a charged battery via a plug.

[0014] Preferably, a transparent box cover is mounted on the top of the heat-insulating outer box, a through hole is provided on the box cover, and the ventilation pipe is inserted into the through hole to enter the interior of the heat-conducting inner box.

[0015] The transparent box cover makes it easy for staff to observe the watermelon seeds in the soaking state.

[0016] Preferably, a filter is installed at the air inlet of the fan.

[0017] The filter can filter out debris in the air and reduce contamination to the liquid in the heat-conducting inner box.

[0018] Preferably, handles are hinged on two symmetrical frames of the support net.

[0019] The handles make it easy for workers to take and place the support net.

[0020] Preferably, the heat-conducting inner box is also connected to a water circulation component, which includes a water outlet pipe, a water pump and a water inlet pipe. The bottom end of the side wall of the heat-conducting inner box is sealed and connected to the water outlet pipe, the water outlet pipe is sealed and connected to the water inlet of the water pump, the water outlet of the water pump is sealed and connected to the water inlet pipe, and the water inlet pipe is connected to the upper end of the side wall of the heat-conducting inner box.

[0021] The water circulation component can make the liquid in the heat-conducting inner box flow, so that the temperature of the liquid in each part of the box is uniform.

[0022] Preferably, a filter box is connected between the water outlet pipe and the water pump, and multiple layers of filter screens are arranged in the filter box.

[0023] The filter box can filter the circulating liquid and prevent particles and impurities in the liquid from damaging the water pump.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by arranging the heating tube below the heat-conducting inner box, the heat-conducting inner box is heated, so that the liquid in the box is heated evenly; the heat-insulating outer box covers the heating tube and the heat-conducting inner box, and the heat loss in the heat-conducting inner box is reduced, especially in an environment with an external temperature, and the electricity cost can be reduced; the watermelon seeds are placed in the concave mesh plate of the support net, so that the watermelon seeds do not directly contact the heating tube and the wall of the heat-conducting inner box, and the watermelon seeds are prevented from directly contacting objects with higher temperatures and causing inactivation; at the same time, the concave mesh plate can prevent the watermelon seeds from slipping when the support net is placed and taken, and there is no need for staff to manually pick up the watermelon seeds; air is introduced into the liquid in the heat-conducting inner box with the help of an oxygenating device to increase the oxygen content in the liquid, thereby ensuring that the watermelon seeds are in water with appropriate temperature and oxygen content, and improving the seed soaking efficiency.

The support mesh 3 with watermelon seeds is placed in the heat-conducting inner box 1 so that the frame 302 is stuck on the protrusion 4 on the inner wall of the heat-conducting inner box 1. Water at a suitable temperature is added to the heat-conducting inner box 1 and does not cover the support mesh 3. The fan 501 of the oxygenating device 5 is placed outside the heat-insulating box 102 or installed on the outer wall of the heat-insulating box 102. The ventilation pipe 502 is placed in the heat-conducting inner box 1 from above, and the pipe mouth of the ventilation pipe 502 is immersed in water. The fan 501 is started to continuously introduce air into the water in the heat-conducting inner box 1.
