Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese medicinal material planting, in particular to a seed soaking mechanism for Chinese medicinal material planting. Background Art

[0002] A seed soaker for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation is a specialized device used for soaking and pre-treating herb seeds. It operates by placing the seeds in a soaking tank, then pumping a pre-set temperature and soaking solution into the tank. This device effectively promotes seed germination, growth, and development, improving seed survival and growth rates, and providing crucial technical support for efficient herb cultivation.

[0003] A seed soaking device for planting disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN220441240U places a filter box in a placement slot, and then fixes the position of the filter box with bolts on both sides. Then the motor rotates and drives the first rectangular frame to vertically descend to the inside of the box through the screw rod, so that the seeds are soaked. During the soaking process, the motor rotates and drives the eccentric wheel to rotate, so that the second rectangular frame drives the filter box to move back and forth in a horizontal direction, vibrating the seeds in the filter box so that the seeds are fully in contact with the soaking liquid. After the soaking is completed, the filter box rises vertically to the end of the box, and then the filter box can be taken out. However, due to the buoyancy, the medicinal seeds may not be immersed in the nutrient solution. At the same time, the debris and impurities attached to the outside of the medicinal seeds are not easy to clean quickly during the soaking process, thereby affecting the subsequent cultivation quality of the medicinal seeds.
