Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato planting technology, specifically a potato seed tuber sprouting and rooting device. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes belong to the Solanaceae family and are annual herbaceous plants. Their tubers are edible and they are the world's fourth most important food crop, after wheat, rice, and corn. Potato tubers contain a large amount of starch, which can provide the human body with abundant calories. They are also rich in protein, amino acids, and various vitamins and minerals. In particular, their vitamin content is the most complete among all food crops.

[0003] The utility model disclosed in CN218959432U is a potato seed tuber sprouting and rooting device. Each drawer has an openable bottom plate, so an appropriate amount of sand can be added to each drawer. When observation is needed, the drawers can be opened to observe the growth status of the potato seed tubers in each drawer.

[0004] As shown in the above utility model, although the existing potato seed tuber sprouting and rooting device allows observation of the potato's growth status by opening the drawer, this method still damages the potato's growth environment, causing the potato to come into contact with the external environment during the growth process, which affects the potato's growth efficiency. Moreover, although the existing device is equipped with a water spraying mechanism, it does not have a recycling mechanism. When the spray gathers into water droplets and falls to the bottom of the box, it cannot be recycled. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0027] First embodiment: A potato seed tuber sprouting and rooting device, comprising a base 1, a sprouting box 2, a placement component 3, an observation component 4, and a liquid storage component 5.

[0028] A controller 11 is provided in the middle of one side of the upper surface of the base 1. The controller 11 is a PLC controller, and its specific model is not limited. It can be selected according to the needs of production and cost planning.

[0029] A sprouting box 2 is located at one end of the upper surface of the base 1 and is used for sprouting potatoes. A temperature and humidity sensor 22 is embedded in the bottom of the slot 21 of the sprouting box 2. The temperature and humidity sensor 22 is electrically connected to the controller 11. The temperature and humidity sensor 22 is a product already disclosed in the prior art, and its specific model is not limited. A suitable temperature and humidity sensor 22 is selected according to production and cost planning needs. A lighting lamp 23 is provided on the inner top wall of the slot 21. The lighting lamp 23 is electrically connected to the controller 11. The lighting lamp 23 is a conventional long strip LED light. Multiple equally spaced liquid guide tubes 24 are provided on the inner top wall of the slot 21. The liquid guide tubes 24 are connected to the liquid guide channel inside the sprouting box 2. The liquid guide channel is located inside the back of the sprouting box 2 and is connected to multiple sets of liquid guide tubes 24 (not shown in the figures of this application). The lamp 24 and the lighting lamp 23 are staggered. Multiple atomizing nozzles 25 are arranged in a linear array on the liquid guide tube 24. A heater 26 is embedded in the inner wall of one side of the slot 21. The heater 26 is electrically connected to the controller 11. The heater 26 is an existing micro heater. A micro heater is an electrothermal conversion device. Its basic principle is to convert electrical energy into heat energy, thereby raising the temperature in the micro heater environment. Micro heaters are mainly divided into resistance heaters, thermistor heaters and thermocouple heaters according to their application fields and heating requirements. This application does not make specific limitations. The appropriate heater 26 is selected according to the needs of production and cost planning. A slot 27 is opened on the inner wall of the other side of the slot 21. A sealing glass plate is set at the inner opening of the slot 27, which plays a sealing role.

[0030] The placement component 3 is set in the slot 21 opened on the sprouting box 2 and is used to place potato tubers. The placement component 3 includes a placement box 31 set in the slot 21. Both sides of the placement box 31 are movably connected to the slot 21 through pull-out guide rails. The bottom of the placement box 31 has a plurality of through holes 32 arranged in a rectangular array to guide the excess sprouting liquid after collection to the bottom of the slot 21, so as to facilitate recycling through the recycling channel and recycling pipe 54. One end of the placement box 31 is fixed with a sealing plate 33. The sealing plate 33 fits against the outer wall of the sprouting box 2 and plays a sealing role to prevent the potatoes from contacting the external environment during growth. Magnetic suction pieces 34 are embedded in the four corners of the inner side of the sealing plate 33. The magnetic suction pieces 34 are magnetically connected to the outer wall of the sprouting box 2. A handle 35 is provided in the middle of the outer side of the sealing plate 33 to facilitate pulling the placement box 31 out of the slot 21.

[0031] The observation piece 4 is set in the empty slot 27 opened on one side of the sprouting box 2 and is used to observe the degree of potato sprouting. The observation piece 4 includes a slide 41 opened at the opening of the empty slot 27. A pull plate 42 is set in the slide 41. The bottom end of the pull plate 42 is connected to the bottom of the slide 41 by a spring. A protruding plate 43 is fixed on the outer side of the upper end of the pull plate 42.

[0032] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: the liquid storage component 5 is located at the other end of the upper surface of the base 1, and is connected to the germination box 2 for storing germination liquid. The liquid storage component 5 includes a liquid storage tank 51, and a stirring motor 52 is provided at the top center of the liquid storage tank 51. The output end of the stirring motor 52 is connected to the stirring paddle inside the liquid storage tank 51. One side of the top of the liquid storage tank 51 is connected to the liquid guiding channel inside the germination box 2 through the liquid outlet pipe 53. One side of the lower end of the liquid storage tank 51 is connected to the recovery channel inside the germination box 2 through the recovery pipe 54. The recovery channel is located inside the back of the germination box 2 and is offset from the liquid guiding channel (not shown in the figure). A water pump is provided at the end of both the liquid outlet pipe 53 and the recovery pipe 54.

[0033] When this device is in operation, potato tubers are first placed in the placement box 31, and then the placement box 31 is pushed into the slot 21 until the magnetic suction plate 34 on the sealing plate 33 is magnetically connected to the sprouting box 2, thus achieving a sealing effect. Next, the heater 26 is started by the controller 11, and the sprouting liquid in the storage tank 51 is pumped into the liquid guide pipe 24 and sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle 25 by the water pump. The controller 11 regulates the temperature and humidity in the slot 21 through the temperature and humidity sensor 22, so that the potato tubers can grow quickly. When it is necessary to observe the growth, the pull plate 42 is moved downward by the convex plate 43 and moved into the sliding groove 41. Then, the lighting 23 is turned on by the controller 11, so that the staff can easily observe the growth of the potato tubers in the placement box 31 from the empty slot 27. After a period of use, the excess atomized liquid sprayed out gathers at the bottom of the slot 21. The excess liquid is recycled back to the storage tank 51 through the recycling channel and recycling pipe 54 to avoid waste of resources.
