Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed culture equipment technology, specifically to an alfalfa seed germination culture device. Background Technology

[0002] Alfalfa seedlings require suitable environmental conditions for growth, such as sufficient water, nutrients, and good ventilation. Alfalfa seed germination and cultivation devices can provide these conditions, promoting healthy seedling growth, improving seedling quality and survival rate, and meeting the needs of large-scale planting. With the large-scale development of animal husbandry, the demand for alfalfa is constantly increasing. Alfalfa seed germination and cultivation devices can realize large-scale germination of alfalfa seeds and seedling cultivation, improve planting efficiency, meet market demand for alfalfa, and promote innovation in alfalfa planting technology. The research and application of alfalfa seed germination and cultivation devices will help promote the innovation and development of alfalfa planting technology. By continuously improving the performance and function of the devices, more scientific and efficient alfalfa planting methods can be explored, increasing alfalfa yield and quality, and promoting the sustainable development of animal husbandry.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221081957U discloses an alfalfa seed germination and cultivation device, comprising: a box body, a sliding rod on the inner side of the box body, a cultivation cabinet on the inner side of the box body, a cultivation hole on one side of the cultivation cabinet, a first handle on one side of the cultivation cabinet, and a water outlet on one side of the cultivation hole. This invention allows the box lid to be opened using a hinge lock and a circular handle, allowing soil and the seeds to be cultivated to be placed into the cultivation hole in the cultivation cabinet. The cultivation cabinet can be removed using the first handle, a second sliding groove, and the sliding rod, facilitating sample removal after cultivation. When watering the sample, excess water can be drained into a wastewater treatment cabinet through the water outlet and a through-hole. The waterproof drawer can then be removed using the second sliding groove, the sliding rod, and the second handle to treat the wastewater, simplifying the cultivation process. Simultaneously, the culture can be observed through an observation window during cultivation.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing technical solutions still have the following shortcomings: the weight of the cultivation cabinet will increase significantly after the cultivation holes are filled with soil, which may be inconvenient for female workers to use due to insufficient strength. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to remove the lid if cultivation operations are required. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an alfalfa seed germination cultivation device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an alfalfa seed germination and cultivation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an alfalfa seed germination and cultivation device, including a cultivation mechanism, wherein a rotating mechanism is provided inside the cultivation mechanism;

[0007] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating outer shell, an incubator slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating outer shell, cultivation holes on the surface of the incubator, a water outlet at the bottom of the cultivation holes, a funnel at the bottom of the inner wall of the rotating outer shell, a support frame fixedly connected to the top of the funnel, a drain outlet at the bottom of the funnel, a slider fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating outer shell, a rotating groove on the surface of the rotating outer shell, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove, and a motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod.

[0008] The motor is started to drive the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating outer shell that is fixedly connected to the rotating rod to rotate.

[0009] Preferably, the culture mechanism includes a device housing, an observation window is provided at the top front side of the device housing, a water trough is provided at the bottom inner wall of the device housing, a slide is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water trough, a sliding groove is provided at the bottom inner wall of the device housing, a waterproof drawer is slidably connected to the bottom of the device housing, and a handle is fixedly connected to the front side of the waterproof drawer.

[0010] The range of rotation of the rotating housing is limited by the sliding of the slider and the slide groove. The water in the outlet hole can fall from the drain at the bottom of the funnel to the drain trough. The water can slide down to the waterproof drawer through the slide. The shape of the drain trough is the shape of the movement trajectory of the drain, so that the rotating mechanism can still drain water into the waterproof drawer during the rotation.

[0011] Preferably, a water pump is fixedly connected to the top of the device housing, and a water pumping pipe is fixedly connected to the rear side of the water pump.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the water pump is fixedly connected to a water supply pipe through the outer casing of the device, the surface of the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to an atomizing nozzle, and the top of the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the outer casing of the device.

[0013] Water can be drawn from the pump pipe and sprayed into the cultivation cabinet through the atomizing nozzle at the bottom of the water pipe, so that the seeds in the cultivation device can be watered during the cultivation process.

[0014] Preferably, the surface of the slider is slidably connected to the groove, and the top end of the motor is fixedly connected to the housing of the device.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the rotating rod away from the motor is rotatably connected to the outer casing of the device.

[0016] Preferably, the cultivation holes are provided in three sets, and the three sets of cultivation holes are distributed in a linear array along the culture cabinet.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0018] Firstly, in the specific use of this utility model device, we start the motor to drive the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod will further drive the rotating outer shell fixedly connected to it to rotate. During this process, the sliding cooperation between the slider and the slide groove can effectively limit the range of rotation of the rotating outer shell, ensuring its stability and accuracy. In addition, by cleverly setting the funnel, the water in the outlet hole can flow smoothly from the drain at the bottom of the funnel into the drain trough. At the same time, the slide design allows the water to slide down the slide into the waterproof drawer. It is worth noting that the shape of the drain trough is designed to match the shape of the drain's movement trajectory. This design allows the rotating mechanism to still smoothly drain water into the waterproof drawer during rotation. In summary, this series of designs of the device effectively solves the problem that female workers may have insufficient strength to use it in practical applications, as well as the inconvenience caused by removing the box lid when cultivation operations are required.

[0019] Secondly, during use, the water pump can draw water from the pumping pipe. The water then passes through the delivery pipe and is evenly sprayed into the cultivation cabinet in an atomized form through the carefully designed atomizing nozzle at the bottom of the delivery pipe. This design allows for convenient watering of the seeds in the cultivation device during the cultivation process, ensuring that the seeds receive adequate moisture and providing the necessary conditions for their healthy growth.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, in the specific use process, we start the motor 112 to drive the rotating rod 109 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod 109 will further drive the rotating housing 201 fixedly connected to it to rotate. In addition, by cleverly setting the funnel 204, the water in the outlet hole 209 can flow down from the drain 206 at the bottom of the funnel 204.

[0035] Example 2

In summary, this series of designs effectively solves the problem that female workers may find it inconvenient to use the device due to insufficient strength, as well as the inconvenience of removing the lid when performing cultivation operations.

[0041] In addition, during use, the water pump 102 can draw water from the water pumping pipe 103. Then, the water will pass through the water supply pipe 110 and be evenly sprayed into the cultivation cabinet 202 in a mist form through the carefully set atomizing nozzle 111 at the bottom of the water supply pipe 110. This design enables convenient watering of the seeds in the cultivation device during the cultivation process, ensuring that the seeds can obtain an appropriate amount of water and provide the necessary conditions for their good growth.
