TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seed soaking, in particular to a seed soaking tank. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of agricultural planting, the treatment of seeds has important influence on seed germination rate and survival rate, and seed soaking is an agricultural technical operation mainly aiming at seed treatment. In this process, seeds are soaked in specific liquid or water for a period of time. Seeds are usually in a dry state before sowing, and seed soaking can make them reach the required water content for normal germination, thereby accelerating the germination process. Seed soaking can enhance the activity of seeds and make the enzyme system inside the seeds more active, which is beneficial to the transformation of nutrients and the elongation of radicle and plumule. This helps to improve the germination rate and germination potential of seeds and ensure full seedling of crops. Thanks to many benefits, seed soaking operation is usually carried out in agricultural production and business activities. However, some seed soaking equipment on the market has good seed soaking effect, but is troublesome to use and not suitable for large quantities of seed soaking. Large quantities of seed soaking usually involves putting seeds into a snake skin bag, placing the bag in a seed soaking tank for seed soaking. When seed soaking is carried out using the seed soaking tank, the bag containing seeds will float on the water surface due to buoyancy, resulting in poor seed soaking effect. Therefore, heavy objects are usually moved to press the packaging bag in the water to achieve full seed soaking, which is laborious to use. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a seed soaking tank suitable for large quantities of seed soaking and avoiding the floating of seed packaging bags, which is convenient to use. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the above technical problems, the utility model provides a seed soaking tank which can be suitable for large quantities of seed soaking and avoid the floating of seed packaging bags, and is convenient to use, to solve the problem that the existing seed soaking tank needs to manually move heavy objects to press the packaging bag, which is time-consuming and laborious to use.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the seed soaking tank provided by the utility model comprises a seed soaking tank, a water inlet pipe is connected to the upper part of one side of the seed soaking tank, a drainage pipe is connected to the lower part of the other side of the seed soaking tank, lifting mechanisms are fixedly connected to the upper ends of both sides of the seed soaking tank, an installation plate is fixedly connected to the output end of each lifting mechanism, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the installation plate, a pressing frame is detachably connected to the lower end of the connecting rod, the pressing frame has a fence structure, storage boxes are fixedly connected to both sides of the seed soaking tank, telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the storage boxes, and moving wheels are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the telescopic rods. The utility model also comprises a control box, and the telescopic rods are controlled by the control box.

[0005] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a bracket, a screw, and a lifting motor. The bracket is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the soaking tank. The screw is rotatably connected inside the bracket. The lifting motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bracket. The upper end of the screw passes through the bracket and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor. The two sides of the mounting plate are threadedly connected to the screw. The lifting motor is controlled by the control box.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes an audible and visual alarm. The control box has a built-in control module and a timing module. The timing module is communicatively connected to the control module, and the audible and visual alarm is controlled by the control module.

[0007] Furthermore, a bushing is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pressing frame, and the lower end of the connecting rod is inserted into the bushing, with a pin passing through the connecting rod and connecting to the bushing.

[0008] Furthermore, the telescopic rod is any one of a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder, and the movable wheel is a swivel wheel.

[0009] Furthermore, a valve is connected to the drain pipe.

[0010] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0011] 1. This utility model facilitates the soaking of large quantities of seeds by setting up a soaking tank. A lifting mechanism is installed on both sides of the upper end of the soaking tank, and a mounting plate and pressing frame are installed at the output end of the lifting mechanism.
