Detailed Implementation

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 A small-volume, foldable drawer-type seed germination observation and inspection box includes a box body 1 and a storage box 2. Side plates 3 are movably connected to the front and rear sides of the box body 1 via damping pivots. A first rotating plate 4 is movably connected to the left side of the box body 1 via a damping pivot. A second rotating plate 5 is movably connected to the bottom left side of the first rotating plate 4 via a damping pivot. Springs 6 are provided on the front, rear, and left sides of the box body 1. A limit plate 7 is provided on the top of the springs 6. An elongated groove 8 is provided on the top of the box body 1. An auxiliary frame 9 is fixedly connected to the left side of the box body 1. Sliding grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the box body 1. A partition mechanism 10 is provided in the inner cavity of the sliding grooves. A vent 11 is provided on the right side of the storage box 2. Both the box body 1 and the storage box 2 are transparent, making it convenient for the operator to directly observe the seeds.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The partition mechanism 10 includes a partition 12, which is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the slide groove. An insert plate 13 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the partition 12. Limit buckles 14 are movably connected to both the front and rear sides of the box body 1 through torsion spring hinges. An auxiliary block is fixedly connected to the right side of the insert plate 13 to facilitate the operator to remove the insert plate 13. By setting the partition 12, the two storage boxes 2 can be separated to place different seeds. By setting the insert plate 13, the right side of the rotated side plate 3 can be closed to form an additional storage space.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Sleeves 15 are fixedly connected to the front, back, and left sides of the box body 1. Spring 6 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of sleeve 15. A connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the top of spring 6. The top of connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to limiting plate 7. Connecting block 16 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of sleeve 15. By setting sleeve 15, spring 6 and connecting block 16, limiting plate 7 can be placed on the surface of side plate 3 and second rotating plate 5 to limit them, thereby making the device smaller in size.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 A baffle 17 is slidably connected to the rear side of the inner cavity of the ventilation hole 11. By setting the baffle 17 and the ventilation hole 11, the ventilation volume can be adjusted, which is beneficial to the germination of seeds. A lever is fixedly connected to the right side of the baffle 17.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The top right side of the second rotating plate 5 is provided with a first slot 18, and the front and rear sides of the right side of the second rotating plate 5 are provided with second slots 19. The front sides of the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 5 are located on the front side of the front side plate 3, and the rear sides of the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 5 are located on the rear side of the rear side plate 3, so as to ensure that the top of the side plate 3 after positioning can be inserted into the second slot 19. By setting the first slot 18 and the second slot 19, the top of the side plate 3 and the top of the insert plate 13 after positioning can be limited respectively, thereby improving the stability of the extra space.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the limiting plate 7 are provided with auxiliary grooves 20. The front and rear sides of the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 5 extend into the inner cavity of the auxiliary grooves 20. By setting the auxiliary grooves 20, the front and rear edges of the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate 5 can be accommodated, so that the limiting plate 7 can move up and down and play a limiting role.

[0027] In use, pull out the storage box 2 from the box body 1 and put the seeds in. Pull the baffle 17 back and forth to adjust the ventilation of the storage box 2, which is beneficial to the germination of different seeds. The operator can directly observe the germination through the box body 1 and the storage box 2, or pull out part of the storage box 2 for observation. When there are many seeds of the same type, a single storage box 2 cannot be used to spread them all out. Move the limit buckle 14 and pull out the partition 12, the insert plate 13 and the storage box 2. Place the box body 1 horizontally, and the auxiliary frame 9 will contact the table surface to provide support. The original right side of the box body 1 is an opening, and the original left side of the inner cavity can be used to spread seeds, thereby improving the practicality of the device. When multiple types of seeds need to be spread, pull down the limit plate 7 to compress the spring 6, and then rotate the side plate 3, the first rotating plate 4 and the second rotating plate. 5. This makes the side plate 3 and the first rotating plate 4 stand upright, while the second rotating plate 5 is located on top of the first rotating plate 4. Then, the limiting buckle 14 is moved and the insert plate 13 is taken out and inserted into the long slot 8 with its original right side. At this time, the second rotating plate 5 is rotated so that the first slot 18 is locked on the top of the insert plate 13 and the second slot 19 is locked on the top of the side plate 3. Thus, the first slot 18 and the second slot 19 are used to stabilize the side plate 3 and the insert plate 13. The side plate 3, the first rotating plate 4, the second rotating plate 5 and the insert plate 13 form a relatively stable extra space that can be used to lay seeds and limit the seeds. When the seeds are put in, rotating the second rotating plate 5 can open this space. The limiting plate 7 can be limited to the surface of the second rotating plate 5 and the side plate 3 under the action of the spring 6, so that it is close to the surface of the box body 1, reducing the overall volume of the device.

[0028] In summary, this small-volume, foldable drawer-type seed germination observation and testing box, through the cooperation of side panel 3, first rotating plate 4, second rotating plate 5, limiting plate 7, long groove 8, insert plate 13, first slot 18, second slot 19, box body 1, partition 12, auxiliary frame 9 and limiting buckle 14, solves the problems of not having the advantage of being able to expand the space for placing seeds and the relatively simple way of placing seeds.
