Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to seed inspection, in particular to a simple germination box device for seed inspection that does not require water replenishment. Background Art
[0002] Seed testing uses scientific methods to test, identify, and analyze the quality of seeds used in production to determine their value. Seed germination rate is one of the most important indicators for determining seed quality. Seed germination refers to the ability of seeds to germinate and grow into normal seedlings under suitable conditions, which requires appropriate temperature, light, and moisture. The germination box devices currently used in seed testing cannot precisely control the germination moisture, and watering is usually required every 2-3 days, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0004] A simple germination box device for seed testing that does not require watering comprises a base, a water tank being rotatably mounted on the base, a plurality of germination boxes being arranged in an array around the outer circumference of the water tank, the germination boxes being fixedly connected to the water tank via upper and lower pipes fixed thereon and communicating with the interior of the water tank;
[0005] The germination box includes an outer box and an inner box. The inner box is slidably installed in the outer box, and a moving part is slidably arranged on the outer box to adjust the distance between the inner box and the bottom of the outer box. One end of the lower pipe is connected to the inside of the outer box, and the other end is connected to the water tank. The upper pipe is located above the lower pipe, and the water tank and the outer box are connected through the upper pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the connection point between the lower pipe and the outer box is lower than the connection point between the lower pipe and the water tank, the connection point between the upper pipe and the outer box is higher than the connection point between the lower pipe and the outer box, and the connection point between the upper pipe and the water tank is higher than the connection point between the lower pipe and the water tank.
[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting holes are provided on the outer box, and the movable part is an inverted U-shaped structure, which is slidably installed on the outer wall of the outer box, with one side of the movable part close to the inner wall of the outer box and the other side close to the outer wall of the outer box. A horizontal plate is fixedly provided below the side of the movable part close to the inner wall of the outer box, and the lower end of the inner box is placed on the horizontal plate, and the limiting plate is rotatably installed on the side of the movable part close to the outer wall of the outer box. A limiting column is fixedly provided at one end of the limiting plate, and the height of the horizontal plate is controlled by sliding the movable part, thereby adjusting the distance between the inner box on the horizontal plate and the bottom of the outer box, and limiting the sliding of the movable part by cooperating with the limiting column and the limiting hole on the outer box, thereby limiting the shortest distance between the bottom of the inner box and the outer box.
[0008] Furthermore, a cover is detachably mounted on the top of the inner box to cover the opening on the top of the inner box.
[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of through holes are provided at the bottom of the inner box, and a sponge and filter paper are arranged in the inner box, with the filter paper being located above the sponge.
[0010] Furthermore, a water inlet is provided above the water storage tank, and a sealing cover is threadedly installed at the water inlet.
[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The utility model is provided with a water storage tank rotatably on a base, and a plurality of germination boxes are arranged in an array on the outer circumference of the water storage tank. The outer box of the germination box is connected with the water storage tank through an upper pipe and a lower pipe. The water in the water storage tank is replenished into the outer box through the lower pipe until the liquid level in the outer box is higher than the connection point of the upper pipe and the outer box, and the liquid level blocks the upper pipe. Since the water filling port of the water storage tank other than the lower pipe and the upper pipe is sealed and blocked by a sealing cover, air cannot enter the water storage tank from the upper pipe, thereby limiting the water replenishment from the water storage tank to the outer box; when the liquid level in the outer box is lower than the connection point of the upper pipe and the outer box, air enters the water storage tank, and the water storage tank replenishes water into the outer box, so that the liquid level in the outer box is always maintained at a certain height, so that the sponge in the inner box is always immersed in water, thereby maintaining the humidity of the seeds in the inner box, eliminating the need for manual regular watering, and reducing the workload;
[0013] 2. The utility model slides a moving part of an inverted U-shaped structure on the outer box, and a horizontal plate is fixedly provided below one side of the moving part close to the inner wall of the outer box. When in use, the inner box is placed on the horizontal plate, and the height of the horizontal plate is controlled by sliding the moving part, thereby adjusting the distance between the inner box and the bottom of the outer box on the horizontal plate, controlling the depth of the sponge at the bottom of the inner box immersed in water, and thus controlling the humidity of the seeds. A limit plate is rotatably installed on one side of the moving part close to the outer wall of the outer box, and a limit column is fixed at one end of the limit plate, and the sliding of the moving part is limited by the cooperation between the limit column and the limit hole on the outer box.
