Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed germination bed technology, and more specifically, to a combined and installed crop seed germination bed. Background Technology
[0002] Seed germination refers to a series of orderly physiological and morphological processes that begin with seed imbibition. Seed germination requires suitable temperature, adequate moisture, and sufficient air. During germination, the seed coat swells and softens after being soaked in water, allowing more oxygen to penetrate into the seed and carbon dioxide to escape. This changes the internal physical state of the seed. The seed germination bed is the medium that holds the seed, supplies it with moisture, and supports seedling growth.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN212013526U discloses a crop seed germination bed. It is equipped with a solar panel and a storage battery. The solar panel generates electricity which is stored in the storage battery. The energy used by the germination bed is provided by the storage battery. A water collection box is set up to collect water seeping from the soil and then recycle it to prevent water waste.
[0004] Although the aforementioned crop seed germination bed can collect water seeping from the soil, in actual use, its structural design involves many electrical components, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, the seeping water is stored inside the water collection box, requiring manual operation for recycling. Directly removing the water for irrigation is time-consuming and laborious, and users also need to frequently observe whether the crop seed germination bed is in a dry state, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a combined and installed crop seed germination bed.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a combined crop seed germination bed, comprising a base, a plurality of germination bed carriers assembled on the top of the base, with connectors connecting adjacent germination bed carriers, a seed germination bed disposed inside each germination bed, a gauze layer disposed at the bottom of the seed germination bed, a first stainless steel support mesh plate disposed below the gauze layer on the bottom inner wall of the germination bed carrier, a support platform disposed on the top of the base, and a second stainless steel support mesh plate fixedly connected inside the base below the support platform, a sponge layer disposed between the second stainless steel support mesh plate and the support platform, a plurality of water-absorbing strips extending into the seed germination bed vertically inserted into the top of the sponge layer, and a water collection cavity disposed inside the base below the second stainless steel support mesh plate.
[0007] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the connector includes a vertical plate disposed between the side walls of the two bud bed carriers, and horizontal plates that are fixedly disposed at the upper and lower ends of the vertical plate and are clamped at the upper and lower ends of the two bud bed carriers. The top of the connector is fixedly connected to the top of the bud bed carrier by bolts.
[0008] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the top and bottom sides of the bud bed carrier are provided with recessed platforms at the connection points of the horizontal plates, and the two ends of the recessed platforms are provided with threaded grooves at the connection points of the bolts. The interior of the horizontal plate is provided with connection holes at the connection points of the bolts.
[0009] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the bottom outer wall of the base is provided with a drain outlet communicating with the inside of the water accumulation cavity, and the outer wall of the base is connected with a sealing plug to block the drain outlet.
[0010] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the inner surface of the drain outlet is provided with an internal thread, the sealing plug is provided with a stud that matches the internal thread of the drain outlet, and a sealing ring is provided between the sealing plug and the drain outlet.
[0011] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the first stainless steel support mesh plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bud bed carrier by screws, and the gauze layer, the first stainless steel support mesh plate and the support platform are all provided with a number of holes for the water absorption strip to pass through.
[0012] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the second stainless steel support mesh plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base by screws.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model uses a connector to combine and install two adjacent bud bed carriers. During installation, the two horizontal plates on the connector are placed at the recessed position on the edge of the bud bed carrier, so that the connecting hole is aligned with the threaded groove. Then, bolts are passed through the connecting hole and screwed into the inside of the threaded groove to lock it. By operating in sequence, multiple bud bed carriers can be combined and installed.
[0015] 2. Through the design of a gauze layer, a first stainless steel support mesh plate, a sponge layer, a water-absorbing strip, a second stainless steel support mesh plate, and a water collection chamber, when water is sprayed onto the seed germination bed in the germination carrier, excess water will seep into the sponge layer inside the base for absorption, while excess water will enter the water collection chamber. This ensures that there is not too much water inside the germination carrier, which could adversely affect the growth of crop seeds. Furthermore, when the water content supplied to the seed germination bed inside the germination carrier decreases, the water-absorbing strip can absorb the water seeping into the sponge and return it to the seed germination bed. The water after reverse permeation is relatively clean and requires no manual operation. Thus, the water-absorbing strip continuously replenishes the water to the seed germination bed, preventing drought from affecting the growth of crop seeds. At the same time, the drainage outlet, combined with a sealing plug, facilitates the drainage of water that has accumulated in the water collection chamber inside the base for a long time.

The inside of the base 1 is provided with a water collection cavity 13 below the second stainless steel support mesh plate 10.
[0024] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3-5 As shown, the connector 3 includes a vertical plate 302 disposed between the side walls of the two bud bed carriers 2. The upper and lower ends of the vertical plate 302 are fixedly provided with horizontal plates 301 that are clamped to the upper and lower ends of the two bud bed carriers 2. The top of the connector 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the bud bed carrier 2 by bolts. The top and bottom ends of the bud bed carrier 2 are provided with recesses 5 corresponding to the connection points of the horizontal plates 301. The two ends of the recesses 5 are provided with threaded grooves 6 corresponding to the connection points of the bolts. The interior of the horizontal plates 301 is provided with connection holes 303 corresponding to the connection points of the bolts. The connector 3 can facilitate the combination and installation of the two bud bed carriers 2.
[0025] As attached Figure 1-2 As shown, the bottom outer wall of the base 1 is provided with a drain outlet 14 that communicates with the inside of the water accumulation chamber 13. The outer wall of the base 1 is connected with a sealing plug 15 that seals the drain outlet 14. The inner surface of the drain outlet 14 is provided with an internal thread. The sealing plug 15 is provided with a stud that matches the internal thread of the drain outlet 14. A sealing ring is provided between the sealing plug 15 and the drain outlet 14 to facilitate the drainage of water that has accumulated in the water accumulation chamber 13 inside the base 1 for a long time.
[0026] As attached Figure 1-2 As shown, the first stainless steel support mesh plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the germination bed carrier 2 by screws, which facilitates the connection and fixation of the first stainless steel support mesh plate 8, thereby effectively supporting the gauze layer 7 and the seed germination bed 4. The gauze layer 7, the first stainless steel support mesh plate 8 and the support platform 9 are all provided with several holes for the water absorption strip 12 to pass through, which facilitates the installation of the water absorption strip 12, and thus continuously replenishes the seed germination bed 4 with water through the water absorption strip 12.

[0028] Working principle: This utility model designs a combined and installed crop seed germination bed, the specific structure of which is shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 1-5 As shown, in this technical solution, two adjacent germination bed carriers 2 are first assembled using connectors 3. During installation, the two horizontal plates 301 on connectors 3 are placed at the recessed platform 5 at the edge of the germination bed carrier 2, aligning the connecting holes 303 with the threaded grooves 6. Then, bolts are passed through the connecting holes 303 and screwed into the threaded grooves 6 to lock them in place. This process can be repeated to achieve the combined assembly of multiple germination bed carriers 2. Simultaneously, the gauze layer 7, the first stainless steel support mesh plate 8, the sponge layer 11, the water-absorbing strip 12, the second stainless steel support mesh plate 10, and the water collection chamber 13 are provided for use after watering the seed germination bed 4 within the germination bed carrier 2. Excess water will seep into the sponge layer 11 inside the base 1 for absorption, while too much water will enter the water accumulation chamber 13. This ensures that there is not too much water inside the germination carrier 2, which will not adversely affect the growth of crop seeds. When the water content supplied to the seed germination bed 4 inside the germination carrier 2 decreases, the water-absorbing strip 12 can absorb the water seeping into the sponge 11 and feed it back to the seed germination bed 4. Thus, the water-absorbing strip 12 continuously replenishes the water to the seed germination bed 4, avoiding drought problems from affecting the growth of crop seeds. At the same time, the drain outlet 14, together with the sealing plug 15, facilitates the drainage of water that has accumulated in the water accumulation chamber 13 inside the base 1 for a long time.
