Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed cultivation technology, and in particular to a novel seed germination and cultivation device for agricultural planting. Background Technology

[0002] In early agricultural production, seed germination and cultivation largely depended on the natural environment. Farmers directly sowed seeds in the soil of the fields, relying on seasonal changes, natural rainfall, sunlight, and other conditions to promote seed germination and growth. In this way, seed germination is greatly affected by external natural factors. For example, low temperatures in spring may delay seed germination or even cause frost damage, preventing germination; uneven rainfall may cause excessive soil moisture, leading to seed mold, or excessive moisture may hinder seed imbibition and germination; the duration and intensity of light cannot be artificially controlled, which has a significant impact on the germination rate of light-requiring seeds. Moreover, for some precious seeds that have strict requirements for germination environment, it is difficult to guarantee stable and good germination results under natural conditions, which greatly limits the efficiency of agricultural planting and the propagation of some special plants.

[0003] The existing cultivation device is extremely inconvenient when watering or nutrient solution is applied due to its upper and lower layer design. Furthermore, after the seeds germinate, they need sunlight for photosynthesis, which makes the seeds at the bottom poorly lit. Therefore, we need a way to both maximize space utilization and make watering and lighting more convenient. To address this, we propose a seed germination cultivation device.

[0004] The existing patent (publication number: CN219893787U) describes a seed germination and cultivation device, which includes a base plate. A fixed plate is provided on the left side of the base plate. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the lower left wall of the fixed plate via a connecting rod. A first threaded rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the output shaft of the servo motor. The right end of the first threaded rod is movably connected to the left wall of the fixed plate via a bearing. A threaded hole matching the first threaded rod is opened on the left wall of the base plate. The right end of the first threaded rod extends through the inner ring of the bearing into the threaded hole. Several movable plates are evenly distributed in the vertical direction above the base plate. Several placement slots are evenly distributed in the front-back direction on the top of the movable plates. This utility model, through a series of structures, makes the device have the characteristics of high space utilization, easy watering, and good lighting conditions.

[0005] Existing patents offer solutions to the above problems, but they lack a structure for automatically adding water or nutrient solution to the cultivation box. This causes the water or nutrient solution level to drop continuously as the seeds absorb water, preventing users from replenishing the water or nutrient solution in a timely manner. Consequently, the success rate of seed germination is reduced, and the seedling cycle is prolonged.

[0006] To address this, a novel seed germination and cultivation device for agricultural planting is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new type of seed germination and cultivation device for agricultural planting, which can solve the problem that existing seed cultivation lacks a structure for automatically adding water or nutrient solution to the cultivation box.

The bottom of the cotton core passes through the limiting plate and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cultivation box.

[0010] Preferably, the detection mechanism includes a water level detector, a microcontroller, a Bluetooth alarm, a humidity detector, a ventilation hole, and a ventilation fan, with the water level detector fixedly connected to the surface on the left side of the incubator.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0029] A new type of seed germination and cultivation device for agricultural planting includes a cultivation box 1, a box cover 2 snapped onto the top of the cultivation box 1, a cultivation mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the inside of the cultivation box 1, a detection mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the left side of the cultivation mechanism 3, and a water inlet pipe 5 fixedly connected to the left side of the cultivation box 1.

[0030] The cultivation mechanism 3 includes a cultivation tray 31, several cultivation boxes 32, several drainage holes 33, several cotton cores 34, and a limiting plate 35. The cultivation tray 31 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cultivation box 1. The cultivation boxes 32 are snapped into the inside of the cultivation tray 31. The drainage holes 33 are respectively opened on the top of the inner wall of the cultivation box 32 and the inner wall of the cultivation tray 31. The cotton cores 34 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the cultivation box 32. The limiting plate 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inside of the cultivation box 1. The bottom of the cotton cores 34 passes through the limiting plate 35 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cultivation box 1.

[0031] In this embodiment: By setting up the incubation box 1, the internal incubation mechanism 3, detection mechanism 4, and other components can be accommodated, creating a space relatively independent of the external natural environment for seed germination cultivation. This prevents foreign objects from entering the incubation box 1, avoiding contamination of the seeds and cultivation environment, and reduces the evaporation and loss of moisture inside the box, helping to maintain a relatively stable humidity within the incubation mechanism 3, making the humidity of the surrounding environment of the seeds more suitable for their germination needs. The user can add water to the incubation box 1 as needed through the water inlet pipe 5 based on the water level information fed back by the water level detector 41 and the actual needs of seed germination. The cultivation tray 31 provides a unified and stable placement platform for multiple cultivation boxes 32, facilitating reasonable spatial planning of the numerous cultivation boxes 32. The seed tray 32 supports and limits the seeds, preventing them from accidentally falling into the inner side of the seed tray 1. The drainage hole 33 allows excess water to drain out in time when the cotton core 34 supplies too much water, preventing the seeds from being soaked in water for a long time and ensuring good air permeability around the seeds. The cotton core 34 utilizes its good water absorption and capillary action to automatically and continuously absorb water from the bottom of the seed tray 1 and slowly and accurately deliver the water to the seeds in the seed tray 32, providing a stable and appropriate water supply. The limiting plate 35 ensures the stability of the cotton core 34 during the water absorption process, preventing the cotton core 34 from moving or curling at will, and ensuring that it can smoothly absorb water from the bottom of the seed tray 1 and transfer it into the seed tray 32.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the detection mechanism 4 includes a water level detector 41, a microcontroller 42, a Bluetooth alarm 43, a humidity detector 44, a ventilation hole 45, and a ventilation fan 46. The water level detector 41 is fixedly connected to the surface on the left side of the incubator 1.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the detection end of the water level detector 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the incubator 1 inside the incubator 1, the microcontroller 42 is fixedly connected to the surface on the left side of the incubator 1, and the Bluetooth alarm 43 is fixedly connected to the left side of the incubator 1.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the humidity detector 44 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the incubator 1, and the detection end of the humidity detector 44 penetrates through the incubator 1 and is fixedly connected to the inside of the incubator 1. The ventilation hole 45 is opened at the top rear side of the incubator 1, and the ventilation fan 46 is fixedly connected to the inside of the ventilation hole 45.

[0035] In this embodiment: by setting a water level detector 41, the water level in the incubator 1 can be monitored in real time and accurately. The microcontroller 42 receives electrical signals from sensors such as the water level detector 41 and humidity detector 44, and controls the Bluetooth alarm 43 and the ventilation fan 46. When the microcontroller 42 detects an abnormal water level, the Bluetooth alarm 43 will receive a corresponding instruction and activate the alarm function. The humidity detector 44 can measure the air humidity inside the incubator 1 in real time and accurately. The ventilation hole 45 can allow the air inside the incubator 1 to exchange with fresh air from the outside, promptly expel gases such as carbon dioxide that are not conducive to seed growth, replenish sufficient oxygen, and maintain the relative stability of the air composition inside the box. The ventilation fan 46 can accelerate the exchange speed and efficiency of air inside and outside the incubator 1 and enhance the ventilation effect.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, dust filters 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner side of the ventilation hole 45, and the surface of the dust filters 6 is coated with anti-corrosion coating.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the cotton core 34, and the side of the sealing ring 7 away from the cotton core 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the incubation box 32.

[0038] In this embodiment: by setting a dust filter 6, dust, impurities, particles and other substances in the external environment are effectively blocked from entering the incubator 1. By setting an anti-corrosion coating, the dust filter 6 is prevented from rusting and being damaged due to long-term exposure to external factors, thus extending its service life. By setting a sealing ring 7, the sealing performance at the connection between the bottom of the incubator 32 and the cotton core 34 is enhanced.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a leak-proof mesh 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the leak hole 33, and the surface of the leak-proof mesh 8 is coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top of the water inlet pipe 5 is threaded with a twist cap 9, and the surface of the twist cap 9 is engraved with anti-slip texture.

[0041] In this embodiment: by setting up a leak-proof net 8, seeds can be prevented from leaking into the bottom of the incubator 1 through the drainage hole 33. By setting up an anti-corrosion coating, the leak-proof net 8 is enhanced to withstand complex environments such as humidity and the presence of nutrient solution, preventing it from being corroded and rusted, and extending its service life. By setting up a twist cap 9, the water inlet pipe 5 can be easily opened or closed by rotating the twist cap 9. By setting up an anti-slip texture, the friction between the hand and the twist cap 9 can be increased, so that even if the hands are wet or gloves are worn, the twist cap 9 can be easily and firmly held for rotation.

[0042] Working Principle: First, the user places the incubation box 1 in a suitable working position. Then, the user opens the top cover 2 of the incubation box 1, which is snapped shut. Next, the user places the pre-prepared seeds to be cultivated inside the incubation box 32. After placing the seeds, the user snaps the incubation box 32 into the incubation tray 31. At this time, the user can unscrew the cap 9 at the top of the water inlet pipe 5 to add nutrient solution or water to the inside of the incubation box 1 through the water inlet pipe 5. When the nutrient solution or water is injected into the inside of the incubation box 1, the cotton core 34 will automatically and continuously absorb the water or nutrient solution inside the incubation box 1 and guide it to the inside of the incubation box 32, allowing the seeds to fully contact the water or nutrient solution, ensuring that the seeds are in a suitable humidity environment and promoting their successful absorption and germination. If the water or nutrient solution inside the incubation box 32 becomes too much due to excessive addition, the excess will naturally leak into the inside of the incubation box 1 through the drainage holes 33 opened on the inner wall of the incubation box 32 and the incubation tray 31. As the seeds continuously absorb water and nutrient solution, once the water level drops... When the water level drops below the critical value set by the water level detector 41, the water level detector 41 sends a corresponding signal to the microcontroller 42. After receiving the signal, the microcontroller 42 controls the Bluetooth alarm 43 to sound an alarm, thus reminding the user to add water or nutrient solution to the inside of the incubator 1 in time. At the same time, the humidity detector 44 will detect the air humidity inside the incubator 1 in real time. Once the air humidity is detected to be too high, the humidity detector 44 transmits a signal to the microcontroller 42. The microcontroller 42 then sends a command to the ventilation fan 46 fixedly installed inside the ventilation hole 45. The ventilation fan 46 will then start to operate, replacing the air inside the incubator 1, timely expelling excess water vapor, and regulating the humidity inside the incubator 1 to create a suitable humidity environment for the seeds. Finally, after the seeds have been carefully cultivated for a period of time and have successfully completed the germination and corresponding growth stages, the user only needs to open the lid 2 on the top of the incubator 1 again to take out the cultivated seeds from the incubator box 32.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
