After the seed soaking barrel 1 is full of water, it flows into the drying box 2 through the water filter trough 4. Most of the water flows back to the water tank 3 through the water collecting pipe 15 to form a water circulation. In order to allow the remaining water to flow back into the water tank 3, the bottom of the drying box 2 is connected to the water tank 3 through a second water pipe 14.

[0022] In order to arbitrarily control the rotation direction of the seeds in the seed soaking barrel 1, a water inlet pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the water spray port 8, and water stop valves are provided on the water inlet pipes 23 on both sides. The seed stirring direction is determined by controlling the valve. In order to control the water outlet speed of the water spray port 8, a water pump 17 is fixedly connected to the other end of the water inlet pipe 23, and the water pump 17 is connected to the water tank 3 through a water pipe.

[0023] In order to be able to open the water stop valve for rapid water change when water change is needed, a first discharge port 18 is provided at the bottom of the seed soaking barrel 1. One side of the first discharge port 18 is fixedly connected to the water tank 3 through a first water pipe 16.

[0027] The specific working process of the present utility model is as follows:

[0028] Two or three days before sowing zucchini seeds, take out the seeds and pour them into the inside of the seed soaking bucket 1 first, and open the water stop valve on either side of the water inlet pipe 23. At this time, control the water pump 17 to start pumping water through the controller 24. Water starts to spray continuously from the water spray nozzle 8, and the seeds inside the seed soaking bucket 1 are impacted by the water flow and start to rotate regularly, achieving the purpose of stirring. At this time, first open the water stop valve on the first water pipe 16 to realize water circulation and ensure that the water inside the seed soaking bucket 1 will not be filled up in a short time. When soaking for a certain time, turn off the water pump 17. When all the water in the seed soaking bucket 1 flows into the water tank 3, start heating the water in the water tank 3 to about 20 - 30 degrees and keep the water temperature constant. Then open the water stop valves on the water pump 17 and the first water pipe 16 again to continuously stir and soak the seeds. When it lasts for 2 - 3 hours, the seeds gradually absorb enough water. After the zucchini seeds absorb enough water, they start to float on the water surface. At this time, close the water stop valve on the first water pipe 16, and the seed soaking bucket 1 starts to be filled with water. The water flow takes the seeds from the upper side to the filter water tank 4. When passing through the filter water tank 4, the water flow flows back into the water tank 3 from the lower collecting water pipe 15, and the seeds go along the filter water tank 4 to the feeding port 6 and enter the inside of the drum 5. At this time, control the first motor 19 and the second motor 21 to start rotating at the same time, and the fan blades 10 start to blow air upward. Drying is carried out through rotation and blowing. A little remaining water in the seeds flows to the bottom of the drying box 2 and flows into the water tank 3 from the second water pipe 14, and the seeds flow out from the second discharge port 7. By carrying out the soaking and drying treatment of zucchini seeds according to the above method, it is possible to avoid waste of water resources, reduce labor costs, and improve work efficiency while protecting the seeds.
