It is an annual herbaceous or subshrub plant with sparsely covered long, soft hairs on its twigs; the seeds are separate, oval, and have long white cottony hairs and short, grayish-white, non-removable cottony hairs. The development of cotton production and cultivation technology has spanned approximately 2000 years. When germinating cotton seeds, they are generally soaked in a prepared hydrogen peroxide solution. When the temperature is below 20℃, the soaking time is 100–120 minutes. When the temperature is above 20℃ but below 30℃, the soaking time is 60–90 minutes; when the temperature is above 30℃, the soaking time is 30–50 minutes. However, some substandard seeds need to be manually selected. After soaking, the seeds are removed from the hydrogen peroxide solution and rinsed 3–4 times with clean water.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1 The cotton germination device shown includes a base 1, with a seed soaking tank 2 fixedly connected above the base 1. The left side of the seed soaking tank 2 is connected to a water tank 6 via a water inlet pipe 7 and to a solution tank 9 via a solution inlet pipe 10. To facilitate the discharge of floating light impurities and inferior seeds from the seed soaking tank 2, the upper right side of the seed soaking tank 2 is connected to the upper part of a wastewater tank 12 via a light impurity square pipe 13, and the lower right side is connected to the lower part of the wastewater tank 12 via a drain pipe 14. To prevent the seed basket 4 from colliding with the seed soaking tank 2 when the stirring shaft 24 and stirring blade 25 rotate, a limiting base 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the seed soaking tank 2. The limiting base 3 has a detachable... A seed basket 4 is connected to the base 1. To allow inferior seeds and light impurities to float to the top of the cotton seeds, the side walls of the seed basket 4 have a mesh structure. A turntable 19 is rotatably connected to the base 1. To facilitate cleaning the seed soaking tank 2 and disassembling and installing the seed basket 4, limit blocks 20 are fixedly connected around the turntable 19. The limit blocks 20 are detachably connected to the turntable 19 by bolts. A telescopic cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the turntable 19. A support plate 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 21. A motor 23 is fixedly connected to the support plate 22. The output end of the motor 23 passes through the support plate 22 and is fixedly connected to a stirring shaft 24. Several stirring blades 25 are fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 24.

[0018] To facilitate the introduction of hydrogen peroxide solution or water into the seed soaking tank, a water inlet pump 8 is installed on the water inlet pipe 7, and a solution pump 11 is installed on the solution inlet pipe 10.

[0019] To facilitate the drainage of liquid from the seed soaking tank 2, a drainage pump and a drainage valve are installed on the drainage pipe 14.

[0020] In order to remove the liquid from the wastewater tank 12 while leaving light impurities and substandard seeds in the wastewater tank 12, a water outlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the wastewater tank 12. A pipe head filter screen 15 is detachably connected to the inlet end of the water outlet pipe 16. A water outlet valve is installed on the water outlet pipe 16. A fixing block 29 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wastewater tank 12. A light impurity filter screen 28 is detachably connected above the fixing block 29.

[0021] To facilitate cleaning of the interior of the wastewater tank 12 and improve the stability of the stirring shaft 24 during rotation, a wastewater tank cover 17 is detachably connected to the upper part of the wastewater tank 12. An electromagnet 18 is fixedly connected to the wastewater tank cover 17, and an iron sheet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 22 opposite to the electromagnet 18.

[0022] To facilitate the removal of the seed basket 4 from the seed soaking tank 2, a lifting lug 5 is fixedly connected to the seed basket 4. A connecting rope 26 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support plate 22 directly above the lifting lug 5, and a rope hook 27 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rope 26.

[0023] In order to ensure that the cotton seeds are thoroughly cleaned after soaking, the water inlet pipe 7 is a U-shaped pipe, and several nozzles 26 are fixedly connected to one end of the water inlet pipe 7 that extends into the seed soaking tank 2.

[0024] In order to allow light impurities and inferior seeds to enter the wastewater tank 12 through the light impurity square tube 13, the width of the input end of the light impurity square tube 13 is the same as the width of the seed soaking tank 2. The light impurity square tube 13 is inclined between the seed soaking tank 2 and the wastewater tank 12. The upward inclined end of the light impurity square tube 13 is fixedly connected to the seed soaking tank 2, and the downward inclined end of the light impurity square tube 13 is fixedly connected to the wastewater tank 12.

[0025] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0026] In use, cotton seeds are placed in seed basket 4. Hydrogen peroxide solution from solution tank 9 is introduced into seed soaking tank 2 by solution pump 11 until the solution covers the cotton seeds. At this point, the solution level is lower than the opening of light impurity square tube 13. The telescopic cylinder 21 is controlled to lower the support plate 22 until the stirring shaft 24 extends into the seed basket 4 and the iron plate below the support plate 22 contacts the electromagnet 18. The motor 23 is then started, which drives the stirring shaft 24 and stirring blades 25 to rotate, ensuring that the cotton seeds are fully in contact with the hydrogen peroxide solution. This process causes some light impurities and inferior seeds mixed among the cotton seeds to float to the surface. After soaking, water is added to the soaking tank 2 through the nozzle 26 until the liquid level overflows the opening of the light impurity square tube 13. Under the action of the water flow, the light impurities and inferior seeds floating on the water surface are blown into the light impurity square tube 13. Subsequently, the light impurities and inferior seeds remain on the light impurity filter screen 28, while the water falls through the holes in the light impurity filter screen 28. Then, the drain valve is opened, and the liquid in the seed soaking tank 2 is pumped into the wastewater tank 12 through the drain pipe 14 by the drain pump. Water is then pumped from water tank 6 into water inlet pipe 7 via water pump 8 and sprayed evenly into seed basket 4 via nozzle 26. The cotton seeds are cleaned by the rotation of stirring shaft 24 and stirring blades 25. Water is then drained through drain pipe 14. This process is repeated three or four times until cleaning is complete. Hook 27 is attached to lifting lug 5, the power to electromagnet 18 is disconnected, and telescopic cylinder 21 is moved upwards until seed basket 4 and stirring shaft 24 are removed from soaking tank 2. The bolts are loosened, and telescopic cylinder 21 and turntable 19 are rotated to remove seed basket 4 for disassembly or reassembly. After a period of use, the liquid in wastewater tank 12 is drained through outlet pipe 16 for treatment. Impurities in wastewater tank 12 are intercepted by pipe head filter screen 15. After the liquid is drained, wastewater tank cover 17 is opened to clean the light impurities and substandard seeds from light impurity filter screen 28 and pipe head filter screen 15, or the light impurity filter screen 28 and pipe head filter screen 15 are replaced.
