TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of seed soaking device, specifically belongs to a kind of pasture seed soaking germinator. BACKGROUND
[0002] The purpose of seed soaking is to make the seed absorb water quickly to reach the water content for normal germination. Most pasture seeds have dormancy, and soaking them with sulfuric acid, hot water or exogenous hormones can effectively break the seed dormancy and improve the field emergence rate. During the preservation process, in order to improve the seed preservation time, the moisture content is usually below 15%, and the physiological activity is very weak, in a dormant state. After the seed absorbs water or breaks dormancy, the seed coat swells and softens, oxygen dissolved in water enters the cells, and the enzymes in the seed also start to activate. Due to the action of enzymes, the respiration of embryo is enhanced, and the insoluble substances stored in endosperm are gradually converted into soluble substances and transported to the embryo along with water. The embryo obtains water, energy and nutrients, and the cells start to divide and elongate under suitable temperature conditions, breaking through the seed coat (germination).
[0003] The existing seed soaking device uses stirring blades to stir the soaking liquid in which the seeds are soaked. The stirring blades directly contact the seeds, which may cause damage to the seeds during stirring. SUMMARY

[0009] The mesh cage is provided with lifting ears on both sides, and the seed soaking box is provided with a clamping groove on the top. The lifting ears are clamped in the clamping groove to support the mesh cage.
[0010] The lifting ear is used for lifting the mesh cage by a user to take out the seeds, and when the lifting ear is placed in the clamping groove, the mesh cage can be supported to be suspended in the seed soaking box without contacting the inner wall of the seed soaking box, and the clamping groove can also limit the lifting ear to fix the mesh cage.
[0011] The seed soaking box is further provided with an electric heater below the mesh cage, and the electric heater is used for heating the soaking liquid.

[0013] The seed soaking box is further provided with an oxygenator below the mesh cage, and the oxygenator is used for outputting oxygen bubbles into the soaking liquid.
[0014] When the seeds are soaked, the poor quality seeds with empty shells float up, and when the vortex is generated in the soaking liquid in the seed soaking box, the poor quality seeds rotate with the soaking liquid, at this time, the mesh opening of the collecting hopper is oriented to the rotating direction of the soaking liquid to collect the poor quality seeds.
[0015] The collecting hopper comprises a mounting plate and a hopper plate, one side of the mounting plate and the hopper plate is the mesh opening, the side opposite to the mesh opening is hinged, and the other side is connected through a mesh cloth, and the side close to the mesh opening of the hopper plate is further provided with an outwardly inclined guide plate.
[0016] When the soaking liquid rotates, the poor quality seeds are guided into the collecting hopper through the impact guide plate and the rotation of the hopper plate around the hinge point, that is, the spacing between the side close to the mesh opening of the hopper plate and the mounting plate is widened to open the mesh opening of the collecting hopper.
[0017] The mounting plate can be detachably mounted on the inner side wall of the mesh cage, so that the poor quality seeds in the collecting hopper can be easily poured out.
[0018] The seed soaking box is further provided with a liquid discharge port at the bottom, so that the used soaking liquid can be easily discharged.
[0019] As the above technical scheme is adopted, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0020] The stirring structure can generate a vortex to drive the seeds to move to realize the stirring of the seeds, so that the seeds and the soaking liquid are more fully mixed, the electric heater can heat the soaking liquid to a temperature suitable for the germination of the seeds, the stirring of the soaking liquid by the stirring structure makes the heating of the soaking liquid more uniform, the oxygenator can increase the oxygen content in the soaking liquid, and the collecting hopper arranged on the mesh cage can collect the poor quality seeds floating in the vortex.
