Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato planting technology, specifically to a potato germination device for breeding. Background Technology
[0002] Potato sprouting is an important step in potato cultivation, helping to improve the sprouting rate and growth speed; it is also an important measure for disease prevention and high yield in potato cultivation. Pre-planting sprouting can promote early maturity and increase yield. At the same time, the sprouting process can eliminate diseased and rotten potatoes, reducing the incidence of diseased plants or missing seedlings in the field after planting, which is conducive to full and strong seedling emergence.
[0003] Potato cultivation requires layering seed potatoes with sand in the dark, and periodically moistening both the seed potatoes and the sand to prevent the sand from drying out. Current techniques involve opening the sprouting container for moistening, but this frequent opening disrupts the temperature and humidity balance within the container, and manual humidification is difficult to control. While potato sprouting does require a humid environment, excessive moisture can lead to excessive dilution and uneven distribution of nutrients within the root canal, hindering normal sprout development. Therefore, there is room for technological improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention aims to solve the aforementioned technical problems of difficulty in controlling humidity through manual humidification and the need to frequently open the sprouting container, which disrupts the temperature and humidity balance inside the container, by providing a sprouting device for potato breeding.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1 A potato sprouting device includes a movable base 1, with self-locking casters 3 at each of the four corners of the base 1; the casters 3 allow for positional changes of the base 1 and several sprouting boxes 2 to avoid exposure to sunlight.
[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 2 The base 1 has several germination boxes 2 arranged vertically on it. Each of the four corners of the bottom surface of the germination box 2 has a cylindrical positioning block, and each of the four corners of the top surface of the germination box 2 has a positioning groove 4 that can accommodate the positioning block. The germination boxes 2 can be quickly stacked by the positioning blocks and positioning grooves 4, saving space.
[0027] Combined with appendix Figure 2 , 3 4. The germination box 2 includes, from top to bottom, a lid 5, a body 6, movable components, and a humidification box 7; the front of the germination box 2 is provided with symmetrical guide pipes 8;
[0028] The box 6 is a rectangular frame structure with no bottom, forming only external protection. Potato chunks and sand are placed directly on the movable plate 11 at the bottom. The box 6 and the box cover 5 are detachably connected by a plug-in connection, making them easy to remove.
[0029] The movable component includes a rectangular frame 9 located between the box body 6 and the humidification box 7. Both ends of the rectangular frame 9 are provided with elongated through slots 10. A movable plate 11 is slidably provided inside the rectangular frame 9. Both ends of the movable plate 11 extend out of the through slots 10 and are provided with pull plates 12. Thus, the movable plate 11 can be moved in the rectangular frame 9 by the pull plates 12.
[0030] In addition, several ribs 13 are arranged on the movable plate 11. Since the potato blocks and sand are placed directly on the movable plate 11, pushing the movable plate 11 will cause the potato blocks to move slightly due to the resistance of the sand and the weight of the potato blocks themselves, plus the turning of the ribs 13. This can prevent the potato blocks from becoming wet at the bottom and dry at the top, and the uneven distribution of humidity, when they are not moved for a long time.
[0031] In addition, several through holes 14 are distributed on the movable plate 11; since the through holes 14 face the humidification box 7, the humidification box 7 can gently humidify the potato tubers through natural evaporation; it is worth mentioning that the through holes 14 should not be set too large to avoid sand and soil falling downwards.
[0032] In addition, the movable plate 11 has a through groove 15 in the middle, and a slider 16 with an I-shaped longitudinal section is moved in the through groove 15. The lower end of the slider 16 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the rectangular frame 9, and the upper end is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the box 6. The through groove 16 and the through groove 15 can limit the movable plate 11 to a certain extent, so that its movement path is fixed and stable; at the same time, it also adds support to the movable plate 11.
[0033] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 2 4. The guide pipe 8 includes a U-shaped main pipe and branch pipes connected at both ends, one of which is equipped with a valve; the corresponding branch pipes can be connected to each other; the upper end of the guide pipe 8 extends into the box 6 and is equipped with multiple nozzles 17; one end of the guide pipe 8 is connected to the box 6 and the other end is connected to the humidification box 7; during use, multiple germination boxes 2 can be humidified simultaneously through an external pump and water source.
[0034] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
