Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed soaking technology, and in particular to a rice seed soaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Rice seeds are usually dormant after harvest. Soaking can break the dormancy of the seeds, promote water absorption and swelling, and create conditions for germination. During the soaking process, a certain concentration of disinfectant (such as lime water, copper sulfate, etc.) can be used to treat the seeds, kill the pathogens attached to the seed surface, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

[0003] To improve seed germination, a rice seed soaking device is needed. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218337098U discloses a seed soaking treatment device for rice cultivation, including a base box, a lifting ring, a seed bucket, an insulated bucket, and a lifting device. The upper left side of the base box has a side box, and the upper right side of the base box has a storage box. The insulated bucket is placed inside the storage box and can extend out of it, containing a soaking chamber. The seed bucket has several circular through holes evenly distributed on its side wall and bottom, and multiple overflow holes are located above the circular through holes on the side wall. The top of the side box has a rotatable faucet. Side spray nozzles are located on the side of the side box and the storage box near the lifting ring. This invention, by setting up a liftable seed bucket and a retractable insulated bucket, in conjunction with the faucet and side spray nozzles, can achieve seed soaking and disinfectant rinsing. Simultaneously, the insulated bucket can control the water temperature to ensure the required soaking temperature for the experiment.

[0004] In practice, immature or shriveled rice seeds have a lower specific gravity and tend to float when soaked in water. Mature rice seeds, on the other hand, are usually heavier and sink to the bottom. The soaking device cannot remove the floating, shriveled seeds, which affects the overall germination quality of the seeds, and manual removal also impacts subsequent operations. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies that cannot clean up floating, shriveled seeds, and to propose a rice seed soaking device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a rice seed soaking device, including a box body and a soaking tank inside it. The box body is equipped with a lifting device at the top to place the soaking tank in the soaking chamber. A filter assembly is connected to the top of the soaking tank by a fixed structure. The filter assembly is used to clean the shriveled and floating rice seeds.

[0008] The filter assembly includes a housing and a sealing portion, which are fixed together by a positioning element.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes connectors, the soaking tub has multiple drainage holes distributed along its periphery, and the connectors are rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the soaking tub. The connectors have an L-shaped structure and a protruding structure at the end of the bent end.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer shell part matches the top opening of the soaking tank, the cross-section of the outer shell part is T-shaped, and limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the top extension part, and a slot is provided inside the limiting groove;

[0011] The outer shell portion has an arc-shaped surface located outside the limiting groove. The connector is rotatably disposed within the limiting groove. The protruding structure slides against the arc-shaped surface and engages with the slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing part is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer shell, and at least one through groove is provided on the inner bottom surface of the outer shell, and the sealing part closes the through groove by rotation.

[0013] Furthermore, the positioning element is a pair of positioning glass beads embedded in the top of the outer shell, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing part. The top end of the connecting rod is bent outward and engages with the telescopic column end of the positioning glass beads through a through hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting device includes a pair of cylinders, which are fixedly connected to the top of the box body, and the top side of the soaking tub is connected to the output shaft of the cylinders through a fastener.

[0015] The rice seed soaking device proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model uses a soaking tank in conjunction with a lifting device to soak the rice seeds in the soaking chamber, and a filter assembly is also provided at the top of the soaking tank. A pair of connectors are set in the limiting groove. On one hand, the outer shell is fixed by the protruding structure engaging with the groove. On the other hand, the outer shell is circumferentially locked to prevent the connectors from detaching from the outer shell. When the shriveled and floating rice seeds enter the outer shell along the through groove, the sealing part is rotated and fixed by the positioning glass beads. The sealing part covers the through groove to prevent the floating rice seeds from flowing back into the soaking tank, which can conveniently and quickly clean most of the shriveled rice seeds.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 A rice seed soaking device includes a box body 1 and a soaking tank 2 inside it. The box body 1 is equipped with a lifting device 3 at the top to place the soaking tank 2 in the soaking chamber. A filter assembly 5 is connected to the top of the soaking tank 2 by a fixing structure 4. The filter assembly 5 is used to clean the shriveled and floating rice seeds.

[0023] The filter assembly 5 includes a housing 51 and a sealing part 52, and the housing 51 and the sealing part 52 are fixed together by a positioning member.

[0024] It should be added that immature or empty rice seeds have a lower specific gravity and tend to float when soaked in water, while mature rice seeds usually have a higher specific gravity and will sink to the bottom.

[0025] Furthermore, during the soaking process, it is necessary to stir the rice seeds intermittently, either manually or mechanically, to prevent them from sinking and accumulating at the bottom. During the stirring process, some shriveled seeds will continue to float to the surface. By repeatedly using the filter component 5, the rice seeds can be easily cleaned, reducing the number of times manual supervision is required.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing structure 4 includes a connector 41. The soaking tub 2 has multiple drainage holes distributed along its periphery. The connector 41 is rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the soaking tub 2. The connector 41 has an L-shaped structure and a protruding structure 411 at the end of the bent end.

[0027] Furthermore, the outer shell 51 matches the top opening of the soaking tub 2. The outer shell 51 has a T-shaped cross-section and is provided with limiting grooves 511 on both sides of the top extension portion. The limiting grooves 511 are provided with slots 512 inside.

[0028] The outer shell 51 has an arc-shaped surface 513 on the outside of the limiting groove 511. The connector 41 is rotatably disposed in the limiting groove 511. The protruding structure 411 abuts and slides against the arc-shaped surface 513 and is engaged in the slot 512.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that there is a pair of connectors 41. The pair of connectors 41 engage with the limiting groove 511. On the one hand, the protruding structure 411 engages with the groove 512 to fix the outer shell 51. On the other hand, it can also circumferentially lock the outer shell 51 to prevent the connectors 41 from detaching from the outer shell 51.

[0030] Furthermore, the connector 41 is integrally formed with the protruding structure 411. The connector 41 is preferably made of a material with deformation capability such as silicone or plastic. The protruding structure 411 abuts against and slides against the arc-shaped surface 513, and the connector 41 deforms during the contact process. After the protruding structure 411 is engaged in the slot 512, the connector 41 restores its deformation, thereby connecting and fixing the outer shell 51 and the soaking tank 2.

[0031] More specifically, the sealing part 52 is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer shell part 51, and at least one through groove 53 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the outer shell part 51. The sealing part 52 closes the through groove 53 by rotation.

[0032] It should be noted that the outer shell 51 needs to be placed in the soaking water. The shriveled and floating rice seeds enter the outer shell 51 along the through groove 53. Rotate the sealing part 52 to cover the through groove 53. Unlock the outer shell 51 so that the sealing part 52 is raised and removed from the soaking water. The excess soaking water is discharged along the gap between the outer shell 51 and the sealing part 52. Of course, a drainage hole can also be set directly at the bottom of the outer shell 51.

[0033] Multiple through slots 53 can be arranged in a circular array inside the outer shell 51 according to actual conditions to improve the channel for rice seeds to enter the outer shell 51, and the sealing part 52 is set in correspondence with the through slots 53.

[0034] In general, the positioning element is a pair of positioning glass beads 6 embedded in the top of the outer shell 51, and a connecting rod 54 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing part 52. The top end of the connecting rod 54 is bent outward and engages with the telescopic column end of the positioning glass beads 6 through the through hole 541.

[0035] In specific operation, a pair of positioning glass beads 6 are spaced apart. When the telescopic column end of one positioning glass bead 6 engages with the through hole 541, the sealing part 52 does not cover the through groove 53. When the telescopic column end of the other positioning glass bead 6 engages with the through hole 541, the sealing part 52 covers the through groove 53.

[0036] Finally, the lifting device 3 includes a pair of cylinders, which are fixedly connected to the top of the box 1, and the top side of the soaking tub 2 is connected to the output shaft of the cylinders through a fastener 31.

[0037] Working method: During operation, rice seeds are poured into soaking tank 2, and the soaking tank 2 is driven into the soaking chamber by lifting device 3 for soaking. Afterwards, the rice seeds in the soaking tank 2 are stirred manually to prevent accumulation and affect soaking.

[0038] Some of the shriveled rice seeds float on the water surface and enter the outer shell 51 through the channel 53. After pressing the positioning glass bead 6 to make its telescopic column end retract and disengage from the through hole 541, the sealing part 52 is rotated through the connecting rod 54. Then the through hole 541 is engaged with the telescopic column end of another positioning glass bead 6, and the sealing part 52 seals the channel 53 to prevent the rice seeds from flowing back into the soaking tank 2.

[0039] The connector 41 can be rotated directly to disengage the protruding structure 411 from the slot 512, thereby separating the outer shell 51 from the soaking tank 2 and cleaning the rice seeds inside the outer shell 51.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
