[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0020] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0021] The embodiment of the utility model provides a germination device for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, which comprises: an incubator 1; a tray 11 is slidably connected to the incubator 1, and two electric push rods 12 for driving the tray 11 to move back and forth are installed on the inner bottom wall of the incubator 1; wherein, a cover assembly is provided at the top of the tray 11, and the incubator 1 can be opened or closed by the cover assembly; a humidifying and heating assembly is provided at the bottom of the tray 11, and the temperature and humidity in the incubator 1 can be adjusted by the humidifying and heating assembly; the cover assembly comprises two oppositely arranged cover plates 2, and the two cover plates 2 are located at the top of the incubator 1, and the top of both sides of the incubator 1 are provided with sliding grooves 21 for the cover plates 2 to slide, and the bottom of the two cover plates 2 relatively close to one side are provided with two limit blocks 22, the cover assembly also includes a traction rod 23 rotatably connected to the two sides of the bottom of the two cover plates 2, the bottom of each traction rod 23 is rotatably connected to the top of the tray 11, and the top of both sides of the incubator 1 are provided with a traction groove 24 for the traction rod 23 to slide.
[0022] It should be noted that the incubator 1 is the main component of the germination device, used to accommodate seeds and provide a germination environment. A tray 11 is located within the incubator 1 and slides to hold the seeds and culture medium. An electric push rod 12, located on the bottom wall of the incubator 1, drives the tray 11 back and forth, allowing it to be raised or lowered. A cover 2, part of the covering assembly, is located at the top of the incubator 1 and is used to open and close the incubator 1. Slideways 21, located on both sides of the top of the incubator 1, serve as grooves for the cover 2 to slide. A block, located on the bottom of the cover 2 on one side, serves to limit the sliding range of the cover 2. Drawbars 23 are rotatably connected to the bottoms of the two cover 2s. The bottom of each drawbar 23 is rotatably connected to the top of the tray 11. Located on both sides of the top of the incubator 1, these drawbars 23 slide. The electric push rod 12 drives the tray 11, which in turn drives the cover 2 to slide within the slideways 21, opening and closing the cover 2. This allows the seeds to receive appropriate sunlight, promoting photosynthesis and germination.
[0023] In the embodiment of the present invention, the humidifying and heating assembly includes a heater 3 and a humidifier 31 . The heater 3 and the humidifier 31 are both mounted on the inner bottom wall of the incubator 1 . A plurality of ventilation holes 32 are provided around the tray 11 .
[0024] It should be noted that heater 3, located on the inner bottom wall of incubator 1, utilizes the principle of heat generated by electrical resistance to heat the air to the desired temperature. The heated air is evenly distributed throughout incubator 1 through vents 32 surrounding tray 11. A humidifier 3, located to one side of heater 3 within incubator 1, is used to increase the humidity of the air. The humidified air is also evenly distributed throughout incubator 1 through vents 32 surrounding tray 11. The presence of vents 32 promotes air circulation and prevents localized temperature or humidity fluctuations. This uniform temperature and humidity environment promotes uniform seed germination, improving the success rate and quality of germination.
[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, a water filter trough 4 is provided on the top of the tray 11, and a culture dish 41 is placed in the water filter trough 4. A funnel 42 is connected to the bottom of the water filter trough 4, and a water diversion pipe 43 is connected to the bottom of the funnel 42. The side of the water diversion pipe 43 away from the funnel 42 passes through the incubator 1 and is connected to a water outlet pipe 44.
[0026] It should be noted that the water filter 4 collects excess water from the culture dish 41, preventing water stains from affecting the seed growth environment. The culture dish 41 is a container of a certain depth that is used to hold seeds and culture medium and allows water to penetrate and drain. The funnel 42 has a pipe with a certain slope that is used to guide liquid from the water filter 4 to the water diversion pipe 43. The outlet pipe 44 is connected to the side of the water diversion pipe 43 away from the funnel 42 and drains excess water from the water diversion pipe 43 out of the incubator 1. When seeds and culture medium are placed in the culture dish 41, excess water will seep out of the culture dish 41 and enter the water filter 4. The water filter 4 effectively collects excess water from the culture dish 41, preventing water stains from affecting the seed growth environment. The funnel 42 then guides the excess water collected in the water filter 4 to the water diversion pipe 43, which then diverts the excess water out of the incubator 1, thereby keeping the interior of the incubator 1 dry.
[0027] In the embodiment of the present invention, two opposing guide rods 5 are installed on the inner bottom wall of the incubator 1 , and guide grooves corresponding to the guide rods 5 are formed on the tray 11 , through which the tray 11 is slidably connected to the guide rods 5 .
[0028] It should be noted that guide rods 5 provide guidance and support for the sliding movement of tray 11, ensuring its stability and accuracy during movement. Guide grooves are defined on tray 11, corresponding to guide rods 5. Tray 11 is slidably connected to guide rods 5 via the guide grooves, enabling stable movement along the direction of guide rods 5. The combined use of guide rods 5 and guide grooves improves the stability of tray 11 during movement, prevents it from shifting or tilting, and ensures the proper operation of the device.
[0029] The circuits and controls involved in the present invention are all prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0030] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
