[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical transportation, and specifically relates to a seed soaking and germination accelerating device. Background Art

[0002] The necessary conditions for seed germination include moisture, temperature, oxygen and light. Among them, moisture is essential for seed germination. Therefore, in order to facilitate seed germination, seeds are soaked. For general vegetable seeds, the warm water soaking time is relatively short, usually 6 - 12H; for seeds with thicker seed coats, such as kidney beans, etc., the warm water soaking time is longer, usually 12 - 24H.

[0003] In the existing patent literature, a patent with a publication number of CN 220210962 U and a name of "a seed soaking and germination accelerating device" uses a power blower to transport air into the germination accelerating box through air holes to increase air fluidity; however, the power blower only transports air to the upper airspace inside the germination accelerating box and does not transport air into the water inside the germination accelerating box. For seeds with thicker seed coats like kidney beans, etc., they are prone to rot due to lack of oxygen after being soaked for a long time. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a seed soaking and germination accelerating device. This seed soaking and germination accelerating device transports air or oxygen into the water through an air delivery pipe, which can increase the oxygen content in the water and the air inside the germination accelerating box body, enabling the seeds to still breathe even when soaked in water, and greatly reducing the situation of seed rot due to lack of oxygen during soaking.

[0005] To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution of the utility model is realized as follows:

[0006] A seed soaking and germination accelerating device includes a germination accelerating box body.

[0011] With the above solution, in order to realize the adjustment of the water level height, when the balloon is in a deflated state, the water level line in the germination accelerating box body is below the seed soaking leakage cylinder; as the balloon is gradually inflated by the second air pump, the volume of the balloon begins to expand, and the water level line in the germination accelerating box body gradually rises and begins to soak the seeds in the seed soaking leakage cylinder, so as to realize the adjustment of the water level height.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the seed soaking and germination accelerating device, two symmetrically arranged brackets are fixed on the inner side wall of the germination accelerating box body, a limit protrusion is fixed on the bracket, and a limit groove for cooperating with the limit protrusion is opened at the edge of the seed soaking leakage cylinder.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the seed soaking and germination accelerating device, two symmetrically arranged handles are fixed on the upper surface of the seed soaking leakage cylinder.

[0015] With the above solution, in order to facilitate the taking and placing of the seed soaking leakage cylinder, the handle can be held by hand during taking and placing, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the seed soaking leakage cylinder.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the seed soaking and germination accelerating device, a plurality of through holes arranged in a circumferential array are penetrated through the upper half of the side wall of the germination accelerating box body.

Specific implementation manners

[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] Such as Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, a soaking and germination accelerating device is used for germinating kidney bean seeds. It includes a germination accelerating box body 1, a germination accelerating box cover 2 is detachably installed on the top of the germination accelerating box body 1, and a soaking leaky cylinder 3 for soaking kidney bean seeds is suspended inside the germination accelerating box body 1; a pipe rack 4 located below the soaking leaky cylinder 3 is fixed on the inner side wall of the germination accelerating box body 1, and an annular air pipe 5 is installed and fixed on the pipe rack 4. The annular air pipe 5 conveys air or oxygen through an air pump 6 fixed on the outer side wall of the germination accelerating box body 1. The bottom of the annular air pipe 5 is connected with a plurality of air pipes 7 distributed in a circumferential array, and a plurality of linear array distributed air holes 8 are opened on each air pipe 7; a water level adjusting box body 9 is also fixed beside the germination accelerating box body 1, a water level adjusting box cover 11 is detachably installed on the top of the water level adjusting box body 9, an air pump 2 12 extending into the water level adjusting box body 9 is installed above the water level adjusting box cover 11, and a balloon 13 hermetically sleeved on the nozzle of the air pump 2 12 is arranged inside the water level adjusting box body 9; an annular heating rod 14 is arranged at the inner bottom of the water level adjusting box body 9, and a temperature controller 15 for controlling the heating of the annular heating rod 14 is fixed on the outer side wall of the water level adjusting box body 9; a communication port 10 is opened between the germination accelerating box body 1 and the water level adjusting box body 9, and the water in the water level adjusting box body 9 flows into the germination accelerating box body 1 through the communication port 10. At this time, all the air pipes 7 are located below the water level line. The soaking and germination accelerating device conveys air or oxygen into the water through the air pipes 7, which can increase the oxygen content in the water and the air in the germination accelerating box body 1, so that the kidney bean seeds can still breathe even when soaked in water, greatly reducing the situation of rotting of the kidney bean seeds due to lack of oxygen during soaking.

[0036] As Figure 5 shown, the air pipe 7 is an L-shaped air pipe, and all the air holes 8 are opened on the horizontal pipe section of the L-shaped air pipe; among them, all the air holes 8 are arranged upward. In order to ensure uniform conveyance of air or oxygen, all the air pipes 7 are distributed in a circumferential array with the annular air pipe 5 as the center. At this time, air or oxygen is uniformly conveyed in the water, which can greatly increase the oxygen content in the water.

[0037] As Figures 3 to 4 shown, after the balloon 13 is inflated by the air pump 2 12, the volume of the balloon 13 can expand rapidly; even when the volume of the balloon 13 expands to the maximum, the balloon 13 will not contact the annular heating rod 14 at this time. In order to realize the adjustment of the water level height, when the balloon 13 is in a deflated state, the water level line in the germination accelerating box body 1 is located below the soaking leaky cylinder 3; as the balloon 13 is gradually inflated by the air pump 2 12, the volume of the balloon 13 begins to expand, and the water level line in the germination accelerating box body 1 gradually rises and begins to soak the kidney bean seeds in the soaking leaky cylinder 3, so as to realize the adjustment of the water level height.

[0038] As Figures 6 to 7As shown in the figure, two symmetrically arranged brackets 16 are fixed on the inner side wall of the germination accelerating box body 1. A limit projection 17 is fixed on the bracket 16, and a limit groove 18 for cooperating with the limit projection 17 is provided at the edge of the seed soaking funnel 3. In order to ensure the stability of the seed soaking funnel 3 after being placed in the germination accelerating box body 1, the seed soaking funnel 3 is placed on the bracket 16 and limited on the limit projection 17 through the limit groove 18, thereby stably placing the seed soaking funnel 3.

[0039] As Figure 7 shown, two symmetrically arranged handles 19 are fixed on the upper surface of the seed soaking funnel 3. In order to facilitate the taking and placing of the seed soaking funnel 3, the handles 19 can be held by hand during taking and placing, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the seed soaking funnel 3.

[0040] As Figure 6 shown, a plurality of through holes 20 distributed in a circumferential array are formed in the upper half of the side wall of the germination accelerating box body 1. In order to facilitate the air flow inside and outside the germination accelerating box body 1, the through holes 20 are opened to accelerate the air flow inside and outside the germination accelerating box body 1.

[0041] The working principle of the utility model:

[0042] During application, kidney bean seeds are placed in the seed soaking funnel 3, and the seed soaking funnel 3 together with the kidney bean seeds is placed on the bracket 16 and limited on the limit projection 17 through the limit groove 18, thereby stably placing the seed soaking funnel 3, and then the germination accelerating box cover 2 is closed.

[0043] During soaking, the water temperature is heated to 25 - 30 °C by the temperature controller 15. When the balloon 13 is in a deflated state, at this time, the water level line A inside the germination accelerating box body 1 is below the seed soaking funnel 3, as Figure 3 shown.

[0044] By starting the second air pump 12, as the balloon 13 is gradually inflated by the second air pump 12, the volume of the balloon 13 begins to expand, and the water level line B inside the germination accelerating box body 1 gradually rises and begins to soak the kidney bean seeds in the seed soaking funnel 3, as Figure 4 shown; at this time, start the first air pump 6 again, and the first air pump 6 conveys air or oxygen to the annular air pipe 5. All the air pipes 7 are distributed in a circumferential array with the annular air pipe 5 as the center. At this time, the air or oxygen is evenly conveyed in the water, which can greatly increase the oxygen content in the water and greatly reduce the situation of seed rot due to lack of oxygen during soaking.

[0045] By intermittently starting and stopping the second air pump 12, intermittent soaking of the kidney bean seeds can be realized. After about 14H, the germination of the kidney bean seeds can be completed.

[0046] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
