Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of seed storage technology, and more particularly to an agricultural seed storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Seeds are the reproductive bodies unique to gymnosperms and angiosperms, formed from ovules through pollination and fertilization. Seeds generally consist of three parts: the seed coat, the embryo, and the endosperm. Some plant seeds, however, only have the seed coat and embryo when mature. Seed formation allows the young sporophyte ovule to be protected by the parent plant and to receive sufficient nutrients, much like a mammalian fetus. In agricultural production, seeds are not only food but also crucial for the sowing of the following year. To ensure seeds can be stored successfully until the next year, storage devices are needed to prevent spoilage.
[0003] The prior art patent document CN220282283U discloses an agricultural seed storage device. This device, through the arrangement of a ventilation mechanism and a transmission mechanism, firstly displays the humidity inside the storage tank using a humidity detector. When the humidity is not high, a gear movably connected to one end of a rotating shaft is rotated by a second drive motor, thereby rotating a rotating block meshed with the gear. This, in turn, rotates a connecting frame connected to one end of the rotating block, causing the opening plate inside a movable groove on the surface of the connecting frame to move. This, in turn, rotates a slider welded to the upper end of the opening plate in a sliding groove on the surface of the connecting frame, opening the ventilation openings to facilitate ventilation inside the storage tank. Natural air carries away heat or moisture, facilitating the storage of agricultural seeds. Conversely, when the humidity in the storage tank is high, two second drive motors located at the top of the storage tank are activated, opening all the ventilation openings on the surface of the storage tank. With the use of heating wires, the agricultural seeds inside the storage tank are dried, thereby reducing moisture and preventing germination and mold growth.
[0004] Although the existing technical solutions mentioned above can reduce moisture and prevent agricultural seeds from germinating and becoming moldy through the cooperation between various structures, they still have the following drawbacks: Although the existing technology can prevent seeds from becoming moldy by reducing moisture through drying, high-temperature baking can also damage some seeds and prevent them from germinating.
[0005] In view of this, we propose an agricultural seed storage device. Utility Model Content
[0006] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide an agricultural seed storage device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that high-temperature baking can also cause some seeds to be damaged and unable to germinate, and to achieve the drying of seeds without damaging them.
[0008] 2. Technical Solution
[0009] An agricultural seed storage device includes a storage frame, the storage frame comprising a plurality of interlocking and stacked frame bodies and a top cover;
[0010] A ventilation mechanism is installed and fixed on the upper end of the storage frame. The ventilation mechanism includes an air inlet frame that is connected and fixed to the upper end of the storage frame. The air inlet frame is filled with dehumidifying cotton. An installation frame is connected and fixed to the other end of the storage frame. Two exhaust fans are installed and fixed inside the installation frame.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the ventilation mechanism design inside the storage frame allows outside air to be drawn into the storage frame through a dehumidifying cotton filter via an exhaust fan during seed storage. This removes the humid air inside the storage frame, ensuring that the air inside the storage frame is dry and preventing the seeds from becoming moldy and allowing them to grow and be used the following year. It also avoids the problem that high-temperature baking in existing technologies can damage some seeds and prevent them from germinating.
[0012] Preferably, a retaining net is inserted and fitted at the upper end of the storage frame, and the retaining net is in direct contact with the seeds.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the barrier net can ensure the stability of the top of the seed.
[0014] Preferably, a sealing element is slidably connected to the end of the mounting frame. The sealing element includes a sealing plate slidably connected to the mounting frame. A rack is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing plate. A gear is meshed on the rack. A stepper motor is fixedly connected to the gear. A storage battery is fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting frame. The rack is slidably connected to the mounting frame.
[0015] Preferably, the sealing element further includes an electric push rod that is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and a snap-fit block is fixedly connected to the end of the electric push rod, the snap-fit block engaging with the rack.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and the design of the sealing component, when ventilation is not required, the gear at the end of the stepper motor drives the rack and the sealing plate on it to move up, which can drive the sealing plate to seal the mounting frame, thus achieving the sealing of the storage frame. At the same time, the other side can be sealed with dehumidifying cotton to prevent external moisture from entering, while also providing a certain degree of ventilation.
[0017] Preferably, the air intake frame has two fixing grooves at its end, and elastic retaining plates are engaged inside the fixing grooves. A fixing frame is connected and fixed on the two elastic retaining plates, and the fixing frame abuts against the air intake frame.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when replacing the dehumidifying cotton, the fixed frame can be pulled to separate the elastic plate from the fixed groove, at which point the dehumidifying cotton can be removed and replaced. This design facilitates the replacement of the dehumidifying cotton.
[0019] 3. Beneficial effects
[0020] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this application are:
[0021] 1. This application, through the design of the ventilation mechanism inside the storage frame, allows outside air to be drawn into the storage frame through the dehumidifying cotton filter during seed storage by an exhaust fan. This removes the humid air inside the storage frame, ensuring that the air inside the storage frame is dry and preventing the seeds from becoming moldy and allowing them to grow and be used the following year. It also avoids the problem that high-temperature baking in existing technologies can damage some seeds and prevent them from germinating.
[0022] 2. Through the design of the sealing element, this application allows the gear at the end of the stepper motor to drive the rack and the sealing plate on it to move upward when ventilation is not required. This can drive the sealing plate to seal the mounting frame, thus achieving a seal on the storage frame. At the same time, the other side can be sealed with dehumidifying cotton to prevent external moisture from entering, while also providing a certain degree of ventilation. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3This application discloses an agricultural seed storage device. The storage frame 1 includes multiple interlocking and stacked frame bodies and a top cover.
[0030] Ventilation mechanism 2 is installed and fixed on the upper end of storage frame 1. Ventilation mechanism 2 includes an air intake frame 3 that is connected and fixed to the upper end of storage frame 1. The air intake frame 3 is filled with dehumidifying cotton 6. The other end of storage frame 1 is connected and fixed to an installation frame 4. Two exhaust fans 5 are installed and fixed inside the installation frame 4.
[0031] The ventilation mechanism 2 inside the storage frame 1 is designed so that, during seed storage, the exhaust fan 5 can drive outside air through the dehumidifying cotton 6 to enter the storage frame 1, thus expelling the humid air inside the storage frame 1, ensuring that the air inside the storage frame 1 is dry, preventing the seeds from becoming moldy and allowing them to grow and be used the following year. It also avoids the problem that high-temperature baking in existing technologies can cause some seeds to be damaged and unable to germinate.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 A screen 7 is inserted into the upper end of the storage frame 1, and the screen 7 is in direct contact with the seeds.
[0033] The barrier 7 ensures the stability of the top of the seed.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 The mounting frame 4 is slidably connected to a sealing element 8 at one end. The sealing element 8 includes a sealing plate 9 slidably connected to the mounting frame 4. A rack 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing plate 9. A gear 11 is meshed on the rack 10. A stepper motor 12 is fixedly connected to the gear 11. A storage battery 13 is fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting frame 4. The rack 10 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 4.
[0035] The sealing element 8 also includes an electric push rod 14 that is connected and fixed to the mounting frame 4. A snap-fit block 15 is connected and fixed to the end of the electric push rod 14, and the snap-fit block 15 engages with the rack 10.
[0036] The design of the seal 8 allows the rack 10 and the sealing plate 9 on it to move upward via the gear 11 at the end of the stepper motor 12 when ventilation is not required. This causes the sealing plate 9 to seal the mounting frame 4, thus sealing the storage frame 1. At the same time, the other side can be sealed by the dehumidifying cotton 6 to prevent external moisture from entering, while also providing a certain degree of ventilation.
[0037] Reference Figure 4 Two fixing slots 16 are provided at the end of the air intake frame 3. The fixing slots 16 are fitted with elastic retaining plates 17. Fixing frames 18 are fixedly connected to the two elastic retaining plates 17 and abut against the air intake frame 3.
[0038] When replacing the dehumidifying cotton 6, the fixing frame 18 can be pulled to separate the elastic card plate 17 from the fixing groove 16, at which point the dehumidifying cotton 6 can be removed and replaced. This design facilitates the replacement of the dehumidifying cotton 6.
[0039] The implementation principle of an agricultural seed storage device according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: After the seeds are placed in the storage frame 1, the baffle 7 is placed, and the storage frame 1 and seeds are placed layer by layer. Then the top cover is sealed. During storage, the exhaust fan 5 drives the outside air through the dehumidifying cotton 6 to enter the storage frame 1, thus expelling the humid air inside the storage frame 1 and ensuring that the air inside the storage frame 1 is dry, so as to prevent the seeds from getting moldy. When ventilation is not required, the gear 11 at the end of the stepper motor 12 drives the rack 10 and the sealing plate 9 on it to move upward, so as to drive the sealing plate 9 to seal the mounting frame 4, thus sealing the storage frame 1. At the same time, the other side can be sealed by the dehumidifying cotton 6 to prevent the outside moisture from entering, and also to provide a certain ventilation effect. When replacing the dehumidifying cotton 6, the fixed frame 18 is pulled to separate the elastic card plate 17 from the fixed groove 16, at which time the dehumidifying cotton 6 can be removed and replaced.
