[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Existing seed soaking and germination devices used in agricultural planting require spraying the seeds with warm water at regular intervals and turning them over during the germination process. In the existing devices, people need to manually spray the seeds with warm water and manually turn them over, which is a waste of labor costs.

[0021] In view of this, the present invention provides a seed soaking and germination device for agricultural planting. Through the cooperation of a first servo motor, a drum and a nozzle, the soaked seeds are dried, wrapped in gauze and placed inside the drum. When it is necessary to spray warm water on the seeds, a water supply device is connected through a water pipe, and multiple nozzles spray the seeds. At the same time as spraying, the first servo motor is started, and the output end of the first servo motor drives the drum to rotate, realizing the turning operation of the seeds. The sprayed water can enter the inside of the drum through the holes.

[0022] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.

[0023] Example 1: By Figure 1-4It is known that a seed soaking and germination device for agricultural planting includes a housing 1, inside which a seed soaking chamber 11 and a germination chamber 12 are respectively arranged. The tops of the seed soaking chamber 11 and the germination chamber 12 are respectively fastened with a first cover 111 and a second cover 121. A drive device 2 is arranged inside the germination chamber 12. The drive device 2 includes: a first servo motor 21, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the housing 1, and whose output end passes through the outer wall of the housing 1 through a sealed bearing; a roller 22, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the germination chamber 12 through a sealed bearing; a third cover 23, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the roller 22 through a pin; multiple holes 24, which are respectively opened on the surface of the roller 22 and the third cover 23; and a support member 25, which is arranged below the roller 22. The water pipe 26 extends into the germination chamber 12 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the germination chamber 12 at one end. Multiple nozzles 27 are provided and connected to the bottom of the water pipe 26. The temperature control unit 28 is located inside the box 1. The water supply equipment is connected through the water pipe 26, and the water is sprayed into the inside of the drum 22 through the nozzles 27 and enters the inside of the drum 22 through the holes 24. The first servo motor 21 drives the drum 22 to rotate, keeping the seeds heated evenly. The seeds are placed inside the drum 22 by opening the third cover 23. The support member 25 supports the rotation of the drum 22. The temperature control unit 28 controls the temperature inside the soaking chamber 11 and the germination chamber 12.

[0024] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the first servo motor 21 drives the roller 22 to rotate slowly, which can realize the turning operation of the seeds and avoid damage to the seeds. The third cover 23 is provided with a fixing part, such as a rubber pad, between the third cover 23 and the roller 22 to increase the friction between the third cover 23 and the roller 22 and prevent the third cover 23 from opening automatically when the roller 22 is rotating. The third cover 23 needs to be opened by personnel. The water sprayed through the water pipe 26 and the nozzle 27 is warm water. After the seeds have been soaked and dried, they are wrapped in gauze and placed inside the roller 22. When it is necessary to spray warm water on the seeds, the water supply equipment is connected through the water pipe 26 and sprayed by multiple nozzles 27. At the same time as spraying, the first servo motor 21 is started. The output end of the first servo motor 21 drives the roller 22 to rotate, realizing the turning operation of the seeds. The sprayed water can enter the inside of the roller 22 through the hole 24.

[0025] Furthermore, the temperature control unit 28 includes: two horizontal plates 281, which are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the soaking chamber 11 and the germination chamber 12; a resistance wire 282, which is installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 281; a thermometer 283, which is inserted into the inner wall of the box 1 and extends one end into the interior of the soaking chamber 11; and a controller 284, which is installed on the front of the box 1. The horizontal plate 281 houses the resistance wire 282, the controller 284 controls the operation of the resistance wire 282, and the thermometer 283 measures the temperature of the water inside the soaking chamber 11.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the model of controller 284 will not be described in detail here. When soaking the seeds, warm water needs to be injected into the soaking chamber 11. The thermometer 283 measures the water temperature inside the soaking chamber 11. As the warm water gradually cools down over time, controller 284 controls the resistance wire 282 to heat the water inside the soaking chamber 11 until it reaches the temperature suitable for seed soaking. The germination chamber 12 needs to maintain a constant temperature. The resistance wire 282 inside the germination chamber 12 keeps the temperature inside the germination chamber 12 at the temperature suitable for seed germination.

[0027] Furthermore, the exterior of the housing 1 is provided with a water inlet / outlet unit 3, which includes: a connecting pipe 31 extending into the interior of the soaking chamber 11; two electric valves 32, respectively installed on one side of the outer wall of the soaking chamber 11 and one side of the outer wall of the housing 1; and an outlet pipe 33 connected to one end of the electric valves 32. Warm water is injected into the soaking chamber 11 through the connecting pipe 31, and the water inside the soaking chamber 11 and the germination chamber 12 is discharged by controlling the opening and closing of the two electric valves 32 and cooperating with the outlet pipe 33. The model of the electric valves 32 is not specifically described here.

[0028] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the water supply equipment is connected through the connecting pipe 31 to inject warm water into the inside of the soaking chamber 11. After the soaking and germination work is completed, the electric valve 32 is opened and the water inside the soaking chamber 11 and the germination chamber 12 is discharged through the water outlet pipe 33.

[0029] Specifically, when using this seed soaking and germination device for agricultural planting, the soaked seeds are dried, wrapped in gauze, and placed inside the drum 22. When it is necessary to spray warm water on the seeds, a water supply device is connected through the water pipe 26, and multiple nozzles 27 spray the water. At the same time as spraying, the first servo motor 21 is started. The output of the first servo motor 21 drives the drum 22 to rotate, realizing the turning operation of the seeds. The sprayed water can enter the inside of the drum 22 through the holes 24. When soaking the seeds again, warm water needs to be injected into the soaking chamber 11. The thermometer 283 monitors the soaking temperature. The water temperature inside the soaking chamber 11 is measured. As the warm water gradually cools down over time, the controller 284 controls the resistance wire 282 to heat the water inside the soaking chamber 11 until it reaches a temperature suitable for seed soaking. The germination chamber 12 needs to maintain a constant temperature. The resistance wire 282 inside the germination chamber 12 keeps the temperature inside the germination chamber 12 at a temperature suitable for seed germination. The water supply equipment is connected through the connecting pipe 31 to inject warm water into the soaking chamber 11. After the soaking and germination work is completed, the electric valve 32 is opened, and the water inside the soaking chamber 11 and the germination chamber 12 is discharged through the water outlet pipe 33.

[0030] Example 2: From Figure 1-4 It is known that the soaking chamber 11 is equipped with a stirring mechanism 4. The stirring mechanism 4 includes: a second servo motor 41, which is fixedly connected to the top of the first cover 111 and whose output end passes through the outer wall of the first cover 111 through a sealed bearing; and a stirring rod 42, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the second servo motor 41. The output end of the second servo motor 41 drives the stirring rod 42 to rotate, thereby stirring the warm water inside the soaking chamber 11 and accelerating the soaking process of the seeds.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when the seeds are inside the soaking chamber 11, the second servo motor 41 is started. The second servo motor 41 drives the stirring rod 42 to rotate, which can prevent the seeds from being scalded to death by excessively high water temperature or suffocated by excessively long soaking time when they are in the soaking chamber 11.

[0032] Furthermore, an air inlet 51 is provided on the top of the second cover 121, and an air outlet 52 is provided on the outer wall of the box 1 near the first servo motor 21.

[0033] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when the seeds germinate inside the germination chamber 12, the setting of the air inlet 51 and the air outlet 52 ensures the air circulation inside the germination chamber 12, which can prevent the seeds from being poisoned or rotting due to lack of oxygen.

[0034] Specifically, based on the above embodiment 1, when the seeds are inside the soaking chamber 11, the second servo motor 41 is activated. The second servo motor 41 drives the stirring rod 42 to rotate, which can prevent the seeds from being scalded to death by excessively high water temperature or from suffocating and dying due to excessively long soaking time when the seeds are in the soaking chamber 11. When the seeds germinate inside the germination chamber 12, the setting of the air inlet 51 and the air outlet 52 ensures air circulation inside the germination chamber 12, which can prevent seed poisoning or rotting due to lack of oxygen.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, the phrase "comprising an element defined as..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0036] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "setting", "connection", "fixing", "screw connection", etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components.
