Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed soaking technology, specifically to an automatic water-replenishing seed soaking device. Background Technology
[0002] Before seedling cultivation, seeds need to be soaked in a soaking solution. Currently, seed soaking is achieved in the following way: first, the seeds to be soaked are poured into a soaking bucket, then the soaking solution is poured into the bucket, and the seeds are then soaked in the bucket. However, in the above method, since the seeds are directly poured into the soaking bucket and mixed with the soaking solution, it is difficult to separate the seeds from the soaking solution and remove them from the bucket after soaking, which is a disadvantage that is troublesome for workers.
[0003] To address this technical problem, the prior art provides a seed soaking device (CN221979496U). This device consists of a soaking tank with a support fixed to its bottom. Inside the tank is a seed-carrying assembly, which includes a support ring, a cover plate, and several stacked support discs. Each support disc has an open cavity for accommodating seeds, and several through holes on its bottom and sidewalls. The upper end of the support ring is welded with several circumferentially spaced limiting rods. Each limiting rod extends from bottom to top, and each support plate has a limiting groove on its outer wall for vertical engagement of the limiting rod at the corresponding position. Several support plates are supported on a support ring. A cover plate is set above several support plates. The upper end of each limiting rod extends out of the cover plate through a fixing hole and is threaded with a hand-tightening nut. The cover plate and several support plates are fastened to the support ring by the hand-tightening nuts, so that the seeds can be separated from the soaking solution and removed from the soaking tank after the seeds have been soaked.
[0004] However, there may be some technical problems during its use. For example, when using the device, if you want to remove the support plate from between the limit rods or put the support plate into the space between the limit rods, the operator needs to lift the support plate up to the top of the limit rods. This will increase the labor intensity of the operator and make it inconvenient for the operator to remove or place the support plate from the support ring. In addition, the device does not have a device for injecting soaking solution into the soaking tank. The operator needs to manually inject the soaking solution into the soaking tank, which can easily cause inconvenience for the operator during use. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a seed soaking device that not only allows workers to easily remove or place the stacked support plates on the support ring, reducing their workload, but also facilitates the automatic replenishment of soaking solution into the soaking tank.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: It provides an automatic water-refilling seed soaking device, including a soaking tank, a support ring, a cover plate, and several stacked support discs placed inside the soaking tank. The top of each support disc has a storage groove, and the bottom and side walls of each support disc have drainage holes communicating with the storage groove. The top of the support ring has four equidistant through slots along its circumference, each through slot containing a slider. A vertically extending limiting rod is fixed to the top of the slider. The outer side wall of each support disc has a limiting groove adapted to the limiting rod. Several support discs are placed on the support ring. The cover plate is positioned above the support discs. The limiting rod is located within the limiting groove, with its upper end passing through the cover plate. A hand-tightening nut is located on the outer side wall of the limiting rod above the cover plate. The cover plate and several support discs are fixed to the support ring by the hand-tightening nut. A water injection device is also installed on the outer side wall of the soaking tank.
[0007] In use, this invention comprises a soaking tank, a support ring placed inside the tank, a cover plate, and several stacked support plates. The top of each support plate has a storage groove, and the bottom and side walls of the support plates have drainage holes communicating with the storage groove. The top of the support ring has four equidistant through slots along its circumference, each containing a slider. A vertically extending limiting rod is fixed to the top of the slider. The outer side wall of each support plate has a limiting groove that matches the limiting rod. Several support plates are placed on the support ring, and the cover plate is positioned above the support plates. The limiting rod is located within the limiting groove, with its upper end passing through... The cover plate and the outer wall of the limiting rod are equipped with hand-tightening nuts located above the cover plate. The cover plate and several support plates are fixed to the support ring by the hand-tightening nuts. A water injection device is also installed on the outer wall of the soaking tank. When using the device, if you want to put seeds into the storage slots on the support plates, you need to first remove the support ring, cover plate, and several stacked support plates fixed together from the soaking tank, then rotate the hand-tightening nuts to disengage them from the limiting rod, thus freeing the cover plate and several support plates from being fixed to the support ring. Then, remove the cover plate from the limiting rod, and then drag the limiting rod on the support ring away from the limiting rod. The support plate moves in the direction of movement, causing the limiting rod to move the slider away from the support plate within the through groove. This allows the limiting rod to disengage from the limiting groove on the support plate, facilitating the removal of several support plates stacked on the support ring and the placement of seeds into the storage slots on the support plate. Then, by re-stacking the support plates onto the support ring and dragging the limiting rod towards the support plate, the limiting rod causes the slider to move away from the support plate within the through groove. This allows the limiting rod to re-enter the limiting groove on the support plate and re-enter the cover plate. Inside, the hand-tightened nut is then reinstalled on the limiting rod and rotated to re-fix the cover plate and several support plates onto the support ring. The re-fixed support ring, cover plate, and several stacked support plates are then placed into the soaking tank. Soaking solution is then injected into the soaking tank through the water injection device, allowing the soaking solution to enter the storage slots on the support plates through the drainage holes, thereby soaking the seeds in the device. This not only makes it easier for workers to remove or place the stacked support plates on the support ring, reducing the labor intensity of workers, but also makes it easier for workers to inject soaking solution into the soaking tank.
[0008] Preferably, a positioning plate is fixed to the bottom of the support plate, and positioning grooves adapted to the positioning plate are provided on the top of the support plate and the top of the support ring. By fixing a positioning plate to the bottom of the support plate and providing positioning grooves adapted to the positioning plate on the top of the support plate and the top of the support ring, it is not only convenient for workers to stack several support plates together, but also convenient for workers to place the stacked support plates on the support ring.
[0009] Preferably, the water injection device includes a connecting pipe installed on the outer wall of the soaking tank and communicating with the inside of the soaking tank. A water pump is connected to the end of the connecting pipe furthest from the soaking tank. A water level sensor is installed on the inner wall of the soaking tank and is electrically connected to the water pump. In use, the operator places the reassembled support ring, cover plate, and several stacked support discs into the soaking tank. By turning on the water pump and the water level sensor, the water level in the soaking tank can be monitored. When the water level in the soaking tank does not reach the specified height, the water level sensor sends an electrical signal to the water pump, controlling the pump to inject soaking solution into the soaking tank. When the water level in the soaking tank reaches the specified height, the water level sensor sends an electrical signal to the water pump again, controlling the pump to stop injecting soaking solution into the soaking tank.
[0010] Preferably, several positioning plates are provided on the support plate, and the positioning plates are equidistantly distributed along the circumference of the support plate. By providing several positioning plates on the support plate and equidistantly distributing them along the circumference of the support plate, it is not only possible for workers to stack several support plates together, but also convenient to place the stacked support plates onto the support ring.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the support ring is fixed with a plurality of support feet evenly distributed along the circumference of the support ring. By fixing the bottom of the support ring with a plurality of support feet evenly distributed along the circumference of the support ring, a gap can be formed between the top of the support ring and the bottom wall of the soaking tank, thereby facilitating the soaking liquid in the soaking tank to enter the support plate through the support ring and the through hole located at the bottom of the support plate.
[0012] Preferably, a support is fixed to the bottom of the soaking tank, and a drain pipe communicating with the inside of the soaking tank is also installed at the bottom of the soaking tank. A ball valve is installed on the drain pipe. By fixing the support to the bottom of the soaking tank and installing a drain pipe communicating with the inside of the soaking tank with a ball valve, the support not only supports the soaking tank, but also allows the soaking solution to be easily discharged from the soaking tank by opening the ball valve.
[0013] Preferably, a lifting ring is fixed to the top of the cover plate. By fixing the lifting ring to the top of the cover plate, the lifting ring allows workers to easily lift the fixed support ring, cover plate and several stacked support plates, thereby facilitating their placement in or removal from the soaking tank.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a soaking tank and a support ring, a cover plate, and several stacked support plates inside the soaking tank, a storage groove is provided on the top of each support plate. Drainage holes communicating with the inside of the storage groove are provided on the bottom and side walls of each support plate. Four through slots are equidistantly spaced along the circumference of the top of the support ring, and a slider is installed in each through slot. A vertically extending limiting rod is fixed to the top of the slider. A limiting groove matching the limiting rod is provided on the outer side wall of each support plate. Several support plates are placed on the support ring, and the cover plate is positioned above the several support plates. The limiting rod is located within the limiting groove, and its upper end passes through... The cover plate and the outer wall of the limiting rod are equipped with hand-tightening nuts located above the cover plate. The cover plate and several support plates are fixed to the support ring by the hand-tightening nuts. A water injection device is also installed on the outer wall of the soaking tank. When using the device, if you want to put seeds into the storage slots on the support plates, you need to first remove the support ring, cover plate, and several stacked support plates fixed together from the soaking tank, then rotate the hand-tightening nuts to disengage them from the limiting rod, thus freeing the cover plate and several support plates from being fixed to the support ring. Then, remove the cover plate from the limiting rod, and then drag the limiting rod on the support ring away from the limiting rod. The support plate moves in the direction of movement, causing the limiting rod to move the slider away from the support plate within the through groove. This allows the limiting rod to disengage from the limiting groove on the support plate, facilitating the removal of several support plates stacked on the support ring and the placement of seeds into the storage slots on the support plate. Then, by re-stacking the support plates onto the support ring and dragging the limiting rod towards the support plate, the limiting rod causes the slider to move away from the support plate within the through groove. This allows the limiting rod to re-enter the limiting groove on the support plate and re-enter the cover plate. Inside, the hand-tightened nut is then reinstalled on the limiting rod and rotated to re-fix the cover plate and several support plates onto the support ring. The re-fixed support ring, cover plate, and several stacked support plates are then placed into the soaking tank. Soaking solution is then injected into the soaking tank through the water injection device, allowing the soaking solution to enter the storage slots on the support plates through the drainage holes, thereby soaking the seeds in the device. This not only makes it easier for workers to remove or place the stacked support plates on the support ring, reducing the labor intensity of workers, but also makes it easier for workers to inject soaking solution into the soaking tank.

[0022] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.
[0023] like Figures 1-5 The present invention discloses an automatic water-refilling seed soaking device, comprising a soaking tank 1, a support ring 14, a cover plate 9, and several stacked support plates 13 placed inside the soaking tank 1. The top of each support plate 13 has a storage groove 19, and the bottom and side walls of each support plate 13 have drainage holes 12 communicating with the inside of the storage groove 19. The top of the support ring 14 has four equidistant through slots 18 along its circumference. A slider 16 is disposed within each through slot 18, and a vertically extending limiting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of each slider 16. A limiting groove 20 adapted to the limiting rod 15 is provided on the outer wall of the support plate 13. Several support plates 13 are placed on the support ring 14. The cover plate 9 is set above the several support plates 13. The limiting rod 15 is located in the limiting groove 20. The upper end of the limiting rod 15 passes through the cover plate 9. A hand-tightening nut 8 is provided on the outer wall of the limiting rod 15 above the cover plate 9. The cover plate 9 and several support plates 13 are fixed to the support ring 14 by the hand-tightening nut 8. A water injection device is also installed on the outer wall of the soaking tank 1.
[0024] By fixing a positioning plate 17 at the bottom of the support plate 13, and providing positioning grooves 21 that are compatible with the positioning plate 17 at the top of the support plate 13 and the top of the support ring 14, the positioning grooves 21 and the positioning plate 17 can not only facilitate the workers to stack several support plates 13 together, but also facilitate the workers to place several stacked support plates 13 on the support ring 14. The water injection device includes a connecting pipe 4 installed on the outer wall of the soaking tank 1 and communicating with the inside of the soaking tank 1. A water pump 6 is connected to the end of the connecting pipe 4 away from the soaking tank 1. A water level sensor 11 is installed on the inner wall of the soaking tank 1. The water level sensor 11 is electrically connected to the water pump 6. When the device is in use, the operator puts the support ring 14, the cover plate 9 and several stacked support plates 13, which have been fixed together, into the soaking tank 1. By turning on the water pump 6 and the water level sensor 11, the water level in the soaking tank 1 can be monitored. When the water level in the soaking tank 1 does not reach the specified height, the water level sensor 11 sends an electrical signal to the water pump 6 to control the water pump 6 to inject soaking liquid into the soaking tank 1. When the water level in the soaking tank 1 reaches the specified height, the water level sensor 11 will send an electrical signal to the water pump 6 again to control the water pump 6 to stop injecting soaking liquid into the soaking tank 1. By arranging several positioning plates 17 on the support plate 13, with the plates 17 evenly distributed around the circumference of the support plate 13, workers can not only stack the support plates 13 together, but also easily place the stacked support plates 13 onto the support ring 14. Several support feet 7, evenly distributed around the circumference of the support ring 14, are fixed to the bottom of the support ring 14. These support feet 7 create a gap between the top of the support ring 14 and the bottom wall of the soaking tank 1, allowing the soaking solution in the soaking tank 1 to enter the support plate 13 through the support ring 14 and the through-hole at the bottom of the support plate 13. A bracket 2 is fixed to the bottom of the soaking tank 1, and a drain pipe 10 communicating with the inside of the soaking tank 1 is installed at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. A ball valve 5 is installed on the drain pipe 10. The bracket 2 not only supports the soaking tank 1, but also allows the soaking solution to drain from the soaking tank 1 by opening the ball valve 5. By fixing a lifting ring 3 to the top of the cover plate 9, the lifting ring 3 can be used to facilitate the workers to lift the fixed support ring 14, cover plate 9 and several stacked support plates 13, so as to facilitate putting them into or taking them out of the soaking tank 1.
[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1-5The method of using this utility model is as follows: First, if you want to put seeds into the storage slot 19 on the support plate 13, you need to use a lifting tool and a lifting ring 3 to fix them. Then, pull the lifting tool upwards so that the lifting tool moves the lifting ring 3 upwards, thereby removing the support ring 14, the cover plate 9 and the stacked support plates 13 fixed together from the soaking tank 1. Then, rotate the hand-tightening nut 8 so that the hand-tightening nut 8 is disengaged from the limiting rod 15, thereby removing the cover plate 9 and the stacked support plates 13 from the support ring 14. Then, remove the cover plate 9 from the limiting rod 15, and then drag the limiting rod 15 on the support ring 14 to move away from the support plates 13. This causes the limiting rod 15 to move the slider 16 away from the support plate 13 within the through groove 18, disengaging the limiting rod 15 from the limiting groove 20 on the support plate 13. Then, the positioning plate 17 disengages from the positioning groove 21, removing the stacked support plates 13 from the support ring 14 and separating them. Seeds are then placed into the storage slots 19 on the support plates 13. The positioning plate 17 then enters the positioning groove 21, causing the support plates 13 to be stacked again and placed on the support ring 14. Finally, the limiting rod 15 is dragged along the support ring 14 towards... The support plate 13 moves in one direction, causing the limiting rod 15 to move the slider 16 away from the support plate 13 within the through groove 18. This allows the limiting rod 15 to re-enter the limiting groove 20 on the support plate 13 and re-enter the cover plate 9. Then, the hand-tightening nut 8 is reinstalled on the limiting rod 15 and rotated to re-fix the cover plate 9 and several support plates 13 onto the support ring 14. The lifting device is then fixed to the lifting ring 3 and pulled upwards, causing the lifting device to move the lifting ring 3 upwards. This allows the fixed support ring 14, cover plate 9, and several stacked support plates 13 to be placed back into the soaking tank 1. Turn on the water pump 6 and water level sensor 11 to monitor the water level in the soaking tank 1. When the water level in the soaking tank 1 does not reach the specified height, the water level sensor 11 sends an electrical signal to the water pump 6 to control the water pump 6 to inject soaking solution into the soaking tank 1. When the water level in the soaking tank 1 reaches the specified height, the water level sensor 11 will send an electrical signal to the water pump 6 again to control the water pump 6 to stop injecting soaking solution into the soaking tank 1, so that the soaking solution enters the storage slot 19 on the support plate 13 through the drain hole 12, thereby soaking the seeds in the device. After the seeds are soaked, the ball valve 5 is opened to allow the soaking solution in the soaking tank 1 to be discharged from the soaking tank 1 through the drain pipe 10.
