Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Corn is a widely cultivated crop, its fruit used as food, feed, and industrial raw materials. Germination acceleration refers to the process of artificially manipulating environmental conditions before sowing to encourage early germination of seeds. This is intended to improve the germination rate and vigor of the seeds, ensuring uniform and rapid emergence, thereby promoting healthy growth of corn seedlings and increasing yields. Through germination acceleration, farmers can select seeds with high vigor, reduce the occurrence of missing seedlings and broken ridges in the field, and ultimately optimize crop production.

[0003] During corn cultivation, a key step in improving seeding efficiency is seed pretreatment, typically by soaking the seeds to promote germination. However, existing seed soaking techniques have several issues: when seeds are placed in a soaking tank, they are initially lighter than water and float on the surface, leaving only one side of the seed exposed to water. This not only reduces the seed's efficiency in absorbing water but also makes it more difficult to remove the seeds from the soaking solution. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantage of the prior art that the seeds float on the water surface during germination, thereby reducing the germination rate of corn seeds, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a corn seed germination device that can completely immerse the corn seeds in water.

[0005] A corn seed germination device includes a placement box, a slider, a connecting block, a handle, a first isolation net, a second isolation net, a first elastic member, a transparent plate and a water outlet pipe. Sliders are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the placement box, and the two sliders are connected to the connecting blocks. The first isolation net is slidably connected between the two connecting blocks. The first isolation net is connected to the handle, the second isolation net is connected between the two connecting blocks, and the first elastic member is fixedly connected between the first and second isolation nets. A transparent plate is connected to one side of the placement box, and the bottom of the placement box is connected to the water outlet pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes an extrusion mechanism and a fixed block. The front and rear sides of the connecting block are connected to the extrusion mechanism, and the front extrusion mechanism is connected to the fixed block.

[0007] Furthermore, the extrusion mechanism includes a sliding rod, a top block and a second elastic member. The front and rear sides of the connecting block are connected to the sliding rod. The end of the sliding rod away from the connecting block is slidably connected to the top block. The second elastic member is connected between the top block and the connecting block.

[0008] Furthermore, a buffer spring is included, and the buffer spring is connected between the slider and the inner wall of the placement box.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a card block, a pull rod and a third elastic member. The left and right sides of the storage box are slidably connected with card blocks, the sides of the left and right card blocks away from each other are connected with pull rods, and the third elastic member is connected between the pull rods and the storage box.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a cover plate, which is hingedly connected to the placement box.

[0011] The utility model has the following advantages: the utility model places corn seeds on the second isolation net by arranging a slider, a connecting block, a first isolation net and a second isolation net. Under the squeezing and fixation of the first isolation net and the second isolation net, the corn seeds can be completely immersed in the water in the placement box, thereby improving the germination rate of the corn seeds. In addition, a cover plate is provided, which can maintain a suitable temperature for the germination of the corn seeds. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Corn seed germination device, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a placement box 1, a slider 2, a connecting block 3, a handle 17, a first isolation net 4, a second isolation net 5, a first elastic member 51, an extrusion mechanism, a fixed block 9, a buffer spring 10, a cover 14, a transparent plate 15 and a water outlet pipe 16. The left and right sides of the inner wall of the placement box 1 are slidably connected to the slider 2, and the sides of the two sliders 2 close to each other are fixedly connected to the connecting block 3. The first isolation net 4 is slidably connected between the two connecting blocks 3, and the top of the first isolation net 4 is fixedly connected to the handle 17. The second isolation net 5 is fixedly connected between the two connecting blocks 3. A first elastic member 51 is fixedly connected between the net 4 and the second isolation net 5. The elastic force of the first elastic member 51 is less than the gravity of the second isolation net 5. A transparent plate 15 is fixedly connected to the front side of the placement box 1, and the interior of the placement box 1 can be observed through the transparent plate 15. The bottom of the placement box 1 is connected to a water outlet pipe 16 for drainage. The front and rear sides of the connecting block 3 are connected to an extrusion mechanism, and the front extrusion mechanism is connected to a fixed block 9, which is L-shaped. Two buffer springs 10 are fixedly connected between the slider 2 and the inner wall of the placement box 1. The top rear side of the placement box 1 is hingedly connected to a cover plate 14.

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the extrusion mechanism includes a slide rod 6, a top block 7 and a second elastic member 8. The front and rear sides of the connecting block 3 are fixedly connected to the slide rod 6, and the end of the slide rod 6 away from the connecting block 3 is slidably connected to the top block 7. The sides of the front and rear top blocks 7 that are away from and close to each other are both inclined surfaces, and the second elastic member 8 is fixedly connected between the top block 7 and the connecting block 3.

[0021] When using the present germination device, water is filled in the placement box 1. First, the first isolation net 4 is rotated away from the second isolation net 5, and the corn seeds are placed on the second isolation net 5. Then the first isolation net 4 is rotated to reset it. The corn seeds are located between the first isolation net 4 and the second isolation net 5. Under the action of gravity, the second isolation net 5 moves downward into the placement box 1. During this process, the two inclined surfaces of the top block 7 slide along the inner wall of the placement box 1 and the edge of the second isolation net 5 respectively. The front and rear top blocks 7 slide toward the side close to each other along the slide rod 6, so that the fixed block 9 moves downward to squeeze the first isolation net 4, so that the first isolation net 4 moves downward close to the second isolation net 5. The first elastic member 51 is compressed, and the top block 7 slides downward along the inner wall of the placement box 1, so that the first isolation net 4 and the second isolation net 5 are fixed, thereby fixing the first isolation net 4 and the second isolation net 5. The corn seeds are clamped and fixed. When the corn seeds are completely immersed in the water of the placement box 1, the cover 14 is rotated to close the placement box 1, so that the placement box 1 can be insulated to maintain a suitable temperature for the germination of the corn seeds and prevent the corn seeds from falling out from between the first isolation net 4 and the second isolation net 5. When the first isolation net 4 is immersed in the placement box 1, the buffer spring 10 can buffer the first isolation net 4 and the second isolation net 5 to prevent the first isolation net 4 and the second isolation net 5 from falling too hard and causing the corn seeds to fall out. The germination of the corn seeds in the placement box 1 is observed through the transparent plate 15. When the germinated corn seeds need to be taken out, the first isolation net 4 is pulled upward by the handle 17 to move it upward and reset, and then the first isolation net 4 is reversed to move it away from the second isolation net 5, and then the germinated corn seeds on the second isolation net 5 are taken out.

[0022] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a clamping block 11, a pull rod 12 and a third elastic member 13. The left and right sides of the placement box 1 are slidably connected to the clamping block 11, and the sides of the left and right clamping blocks 11 that are away from each other are fixedly connected to the pull rod 12. The third elastic member 13 is fixedly connected between the pull rod 12 and the placement box 1. When the corn seeds are placed on the second isolation net 5, the clamping block 11 contacts the bottom of the slider 2, and the third elastic member 13 is in normal state. When the corn seeds need to be immersed in the water of the placement box 1, the left and right pull rods 12 are pulled away from the placement box 1, and the clamping block 11 is away from the second isolation net 5. The third elastic member 13 is compressed, so that the second isolation net 5 moves downward into the placement box 1 under the action of gravity. The clamping block 11 can facilitate the placement of the corn seeds and prevent the second isolation net 5 from moving downward at will.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
