[0026] As shown in Figure 1 The outer side wall of each end plate 2.2 is welded with a sleeve 3, and the sleeve 3 is coaxial with the screen cylinder 2.1; the left and right inner walls of the soaking tank 1 are welded with U-shaped clamping seats 14 for supporting the sleeves 3, and the two sleeves 3 can be clamped into the two U-shaped clamping seats 14 respectively, and the drum screen 2 can rotate between the two U-shaped clamping seats 14 in the soaking tank 1.

[0027] The screen cylinder 2.1, the end plates 2.2 and the baffles 12 are all made of stainless steel plates, and the sleeves 3 and the shaft tube 11 are all made of stainless steel tubes, which have the effects of strong load-bearing capacity and long-lasting durability; as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 A plurality of through holes 15 are formed on the screen cylinder 2.1, the end plates 2.2 and the baffles 12, so as to facilitate the soaking liquid to enter and exit the screen cylinder 2.1.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The bottom of the soaking tank 1 is arc-shaped, so that it can be matched with the drum screen 2; the bottom of the soaking tank 1 is mounted with a support 9 for supporting the soaking tank 1, and the soaking tank 1 can be stably supported on the ground through the support 9.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 The bottom of the soaking tank 1 is mounted with a drain pipe 13 for discharging the soaking liquid therein, and the drain pipe 13 is mounted with a valve, and opening the valve can facilitate the discharge of the soaking liquid in the soaking tank 1.

[0030] Each of the outer side walls of the end plate 2.2 is provided with a pull ring, and workers can conveniently take out or put the drum screen 2 into the soaking tank 1 by holding the pull ring. In addition, if the size of the soaking tank 1 and the drum screen 2 is large, the drum screen 2 can be lifted or lowered by using hoisting equipment.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 The right outer wall of the soaking tank 1 is provided with a sealed bearing seat 5, the sealed bearing seat 5 is provided with a rotating shaft 4, the left end of the rotating shaft 4 extends to the U-shaped clamping seat 14 through the right wall of the soaking tank 1, and the rotating shaft 4 can rotate. Specifically, the right wall of the soaking tank 1 is provided with a hole for the rotating shaft 4 to pass through, and a sealing gasket 17 is arranged between the sealed bearing seat 5 and the right outer wall of the soaking tank 1, so that the soaking liquid in the soaking tank 1 cannot leak.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sleeve 3 at the right end of the screen drum 2.1 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 4 by a hexagonal bolt 16. Specifically, the sleeve 3 at the right end of the screen drum 2.1 is provided with a through-hole along the radial direction, and the inner side wall of the through-hole is provided with an internal thread. The end of the rotating shaft 4 is provided with a radial insertion hole. When the drum screen 2 is put into the soaking tank 1, the two sleeves 3 are respectively clamped into the two U-shaped clamping seats 14. Initially, the sleeve 3 on the left side of the drum screen 2 is close to the inner wall of the left side of the soaking tank 1, and then the drum screen 2 is moved to the right side, so that the sleeve 3 on the right side of the drum screen 2 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4. The through-hole is opposite to the insertion hole, and the hexagonal bolt 16 is installed to lock the sleeve 3 and the rotating shaft 4.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 The right outer wall of the soaking tank 1 is provided with a motor 6 for driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate.

Specifically, the motor 6 is provided with a speed reducer 8, the power input end of the speed reducer 8 is connected with the power output end of the motor 6, and the right end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected with the power output end of the speed reducer 8, so that the motor 6 can drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 4 can drive the drum screen 2 to rotate. Under the action of the speed reducer 8, the drum screen 2 can rotate slowly. Although the sleeve 3 at the left end of the drum screen 2 is clamped in the U-shaped clamping seat 14, the stability of the drum screen 2 rotating in the soaking tank 1 can be ensured due to the slow rotating speed of the drum screen 2. The right outer wall of the soaking tank 1 is welded with a support plate 7, and the motor 6 and the speed reducer 8 are installed on the support plate 7.

[0034] The motor 6, the speed reducer 8 and the rotating shaft 4 constitute a power driving mechanism for driving the drum screen 2 to rotate.

This is a conventional selection, which will not be described here.

[0035] AsFigure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the soaking tank 1 is provided with a heating pipe 10 for heating the soaking liquid therein. When corn seeds are soaked, the soaking liquid in the soaking tank 1 is heated by the heating pipe 10, which is beneficial to control the temperature of the soaking liquid in a suitable soaking temperature range. In the embodiment, the heating pipe 10 is an automatic temperature control electric heating pipe, which is a prior art product. In the embodiment, the heating pipe 10 is installed at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. In fact, the heating pipe 10 can be directly placed in the soaking liquid in the soaking tank 1 during use, and then removed after use.

[0036] The working principle of the corn breeding germination and sprouting device is as follows:

[0037] When the germination and sprouting device is used for corn seed soaking, the worker removes the end plate 2.2 and then puts the corn seeds into the chambers in the screen cylinder 2.1. Then, the end plate 2.2 is installed to block the ports of the screen cylinder 2.1 to prevent the corn seeds from leaking out. The worker puts the drum screen 2 into the soaking tank 1, and then inserts the two sleeves 3 on the left and right sides of the drum screen 2 into the two U-shaped clamping seats 14, respectively. The two U-shaped clamping seats 14 can support the drum screen 2. Under the limiting action of the U-shaped clamping seat 14, the drum screen 2 can rotate without swinging in the soaking tank 1.

[0038] Initially, the sleeve 3 on the left side of the drum screen 2 is close to the inner wall of the left side of the soaking tank 1. Then, the drum screen 2 is moved to the right side, so that the sleeve 3 on the right side of the drum screen 2 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4. The counterbore on the sleeve 3 is opposite to the insertion hole on the rotating shaft 4. After the inner hexagonal bolt 16 is installed, the sleeve 3 and the rotating shaft 4 are locked. The head of the inner hexagonal bolt 16 is sunk into the counterbore to avoid blocking the rotation of the sleeve 3.

[0039] The soaking liquid is filled into the soaking tank 1 to flood the screen cylinder 2.1. Alternatively, the soaking liquid is filled into the soaking tank 1 first, and then the drum screen 2 is put into the soaking tank 1. The soaking liquid floods the corn seeds in the drum screen 2, so that the corn seeds are soaked.

[0040] When stirring is needed, the motor 6 is started to drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, so as to drive the drum screen 2 to rotate in the soaking tank 1. The sleeve 3 rotates in the U-shaped clamping seat 14. The corn seeds can roll in the screen cylinder 2.1, so that the corn seeds are stirred. The tools such as sticks, spoons, and shovels are not needed to stir the corn seeds, which can save the labor of the workers and reduce the damage to the corn seeds.

[0041] After the soaking is completed, the worker removes the inner hexagonal bolt 16, moves the drum screen 2 to the left, and then separates the sleeve 3 from the rotating shaft 4. The drum screen 2 is directly lifted upward to the outside of the soaking tank 1. After the end plate 2.2 is removed, the corn seeds can be poured out.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the specification of the present application.
