Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of germination equipment, in particular to a corn seed germination device. Background Art

[0002] Corn seeds are reproductive bodies that have the ability to grow into adult corn plants. They are formed by ovules through pollination and fertilization. Corn seeds are composed of three parts: seed coat, embryo and endosperm.

[0003] The purpose of accelerating the germination of corn seeds is to promote seed germination and enhance the vitality of seeds. After germination, corn seeds can germinate faster, and the bud roots are stronger, which is conducive to the growth of seedlings. At the same time, germination can also reduce the risk of corn planting. Corn seeds that have been treated with germination can reduce the harm of diseases to seedlings, thereby improving the survival rate of corn. In addition, after sowing, the germinated seeds take root quickly, sprout early, sprout evenly, and have a high seedling rate. They can also gain effective accumulated temperature and promote early maturity and high yield. In the prior art, after searching, the Chinese patent application number is: CN202311595078.8, which provides a watermelon seed soaking and germination device, including a box body, a seed soaking chamber, a germination chamber, a first partition, a second partition, a driving mechanism, a first flexible cloth and a paving assembly, the driving mechanism includes a bidirectional screw rod, a first stepping motor, a scissors mechanism and an internal threaded sleeve, and the paving assembly includes a paving roller and a motion mechanism The invention is provided with a box body, a seed soaking chamber, a germination chamber, a first partition, a second partition, a driving mechanism, a first flexible cloth and a flattening component. During seed soaking, the watermelon seeds are immersed in the liquid in the seed soaking chamber. After the soaking time is up, the driving mechanism drives the first partition to move to the right, and at the same time, the first partition pulls the first flexible cloth to be in a horizontal state. At the same time, the second partition moves to the left to separate the seed soaking chamber and the germination chamber. Then the flattening component flattened a layer of watermelon seeds on the first flexible cloth, and then germinated. The seed soaking and germination are automatically and integratedly completed, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0028] 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.

[0029] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A corn seed germination device, comprising:

[0031] Germination boxes for germinating corn seeds;

[0032] A door 2 is installed on one side of the germination box. A tray 3 for carrying corn seeds is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the germination box 1. A filter hole 16 is provided at the bottom of the tray 3. A drainage port 11 for draining excess water is provided on one side of the bottom of the germination box 1.

[0033] A wetting mechanism for wetting corn seeds;

[0034] The wetting mechanism includes a water tank 4 arranged on the top of the germination box 1 and a water pump 5 installed on the outer wall of one side of the germination box 1. The inner cavity of the germination box 1 is located on one side of the tray 3 and is provided with a water pipe 6 supplied with water by the water pump 5. A plurality of groups of atomizing nozzles 7 are installed on the side of the water pipe 6 facing the tray 3.

[0035] Specifically, the water inlet end of the water pump 5 is connected to the water inlet pipe, the water inlet pipe is sealed and plugged into the water tank 4, and the end of the water inlet pipe extends to the inner bottom of the water tank 4; the water outlet end of the water pump 5 is connected to the water outlet pipe, the water outlet pipe is sealed and plugged into the germination box 1, and the end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the water supply pipe 6.

[0036] In actual use, the box door 2 is opened, the corn seeds are placed in the tray 3, and then the box door 2 is closed. The water pump 5 is started to extract water from the water tank 4, and the water is sprayed to the corn seeds in the tray 3 through the atomizing nozzle 7 on the water pipe 6 in the germination box 1. The corn seeds are moistened in the water mist, thereby achieving the purpose of germination. At the same time, excess water flows to the bottom of the germination box 1 through the filter holes 16 on the tray 3 and is discharged through the drain port 11, thereby avoiding the problem of hypoxia caused by the corn seeds being immersed in water for a long time.

[0037] For further information, see Figure 4 , in order to improve the wetting efficiency of the wetting mechanism on the corn seeds in the tray 3:

[0038] The inner bottom of the germination box 1 is provided with a boss 8 in a convex shape, and a motor 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the boss 8. The output end of the motor 9 passes through the boss 8 and is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the tray 3. A plurality of groups of rollers 10 are equidistantly installed around the bottom of the tray 3, and the rollers 10 abut against the top surface of the boss 8.

[0039] The tray 3 is driven to rotate in the germination box 1 by the motor 9. When the wetting mechanism is working, the rotating tray 3 can make the corn seeds receive the water mist in all directions and angles, so that the seeds in the tray 3 are evenly moistened, thereby improving the wetting efficiency.

[0040] In addition, since the tray 3 is rotatably mounted on the boss 8 in the germination box 1, when the excess water flows down through the filter holes 16, it can flow directly to the bottom of the germination box 1, and the corn seeds at the bottom of the tray 3 will not be soaked for a long time;

[0041] At the same time, a plurality of groups of rollers 10 are installed around the bottom of the tray 3, which can ensure the rotation ability of the tray 3 while also providing good auxiliary support.

[0042] See also Figure 5 In order to further improve the germination efficiency of this device, this application makes the following designs:

[0043] Lighting mechanism for enhancing photosynthesis in corn seeds;

[0044] The lighting mechanism comprises a lamp holder 14 installed on the top of the germination box 1 and a plurality of lighting lamps 15 installed on the lamp holder 14 .

[0045] By arranging a lighting mechanism including a lamp holder 14 and a lighting lamp 15 in the germination box 1 to simulate natural lighting conditions, the photosynthesis of corn seeds is promoted, thereby further improving the germination efficiency of corn seeds.

[0046] Please refer to 1 and 5. In order to further improve the germination efficiency of the device, the present application makes the following designs:

[0047] The germination box 1 also includes a ventilation mechanism for internal ventilation. The ventilation mechanism includes a hot air blower 12 installed on the top of the germination box 1 and a ventilation window 13 arranged on the outer wall of the germination box 1.

[0048] The air outlet end of the hot air blower 12 passes through the top of the germination box 1 and extends to the inner cavity thereof. A plurality of ventilation holes are distributed on the ventilation window 13 .

[0049] In actual use, when the corn seeds are germinated, the hot air blower 12 works, and can draw external air, heat it, and then blow it into the germination box 1. On the one hand, it allows the germination box 1 to have good ventilation conditions, increase the oxygen content, and facilitate the breathing and germination of the corn seeds; on the other hand, it can maintain a suitable temperature in the germination box 1, which is convenient for providing the best germination environment for the corn seeds, thereby improving the germination rate and germination speed of the seeds.

[0050] More specifically, a temperature sensor can be installed in the germination box 1 to monitor the temperature in the germination box 1. A control panel with a built-in controller is installed outside the germination box 1. The temperature range in the germination box 1 is set to 10 to 20 degrees Celsius through programming. When the temperature in the germination box 1 is lower than the set temperature, the temperature sensor transmits a signal to the control panel, and the control panel controls the hot air blower 12 to ventilate while raising the temperature to the set temperature range; when the temperature in the germination box 1 is appropriate, the temperature sensor transmits a signal to the control panel, and the control panel controls the hot air blower 12 to turn off the heating element, and the hot air blower 12 only blows in natural wind without increasing the temperature in the germination box 1, thereby maintaining a suitable temperature range in the germination box 1.

[0051] In general, the present application uses atomization wetting to replace the traditional immersion method to germinate corn seeds, which is not easy to cause the problem of hypoxia caused by excessive seed immersion, thereby ensuring the vitality of the corn seeds. At the same time, the lighting mechanism and ventilation mechanism are set to assist the germination of corn seeds, which can create a good germination condition for the corn seeds and greatly improve the germination efficiency.

[0052] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
