Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of seed treatment technology, specifically a chili seed soaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Chili seeds are the reproductive units of chili plants, used to produce new chili plants. Each seed contains an embryo necessary for germination and growth; under suitable environmental conditions, they can germinate and grow into a new plant. Chili seeds need to be soaked before sowing to improve germination rates.

[0003] Soaking seeds helps them absorb water, activates their physiological activities, and accelerates the germination process. Soaking softens the seed surface, increasing germination rate and ensuring more seeds successfully grow into plants. Simultaneously, soaking helps remove impurities and inhibitory factors from the seed surface, reducing obstacles during germination. In existing technologies, seeds need to be soaked in specialized soaking tanks that maintain a constant water temperature to effectively promote germination. However, these tanks are usually fixed, meaning that after thorough soaking, the seeds still need to be manually removed from the tank and transferred to another container or sown directly. This process not only increases labor intensity but may also damage the seeds during transfer.

[0004] A patent with authorization announcement number CN221264407U discloses a seed soaking device for chili seed production, including a fixed box. The inner wall of the fixed box is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which includes a mounting groove located on the inner wall of the fixed box. An electric telescopic rod is installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove. While the lifting mechanism allows the soaking tank to be raised for seed transfer, this method still suffers from the problems of being time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to damaging the seeds.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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] Example:

[0027] A chili seed soaking device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes an outer tub 15, a soaking tub 12, a mounting frame, a lifting screw 4, a limiting rod 5, and an adjusting device 9. A heating element 13 is installed inside the outer tub 15. The lifting screw 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame, the limiting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, the adjusting device 9 is threadedly connected to the lifting screw 4 and slidably connected to the limiting rod 5, the soaking tub 12 is connected to the adjusting device 9, and a bottom door 14 is detachably connected to the bottom of the soaking tub 12. Specifically, a first connecting buckle 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom door 14, and a second connecting buckle 3 is presumably present on the bottom of the soaking tub 12. Both the first connecting buckle 2 and the second connecting buckle 3 have holes, and are connected together by bolts. Figure 2As shown, the adjusting device 9 includes a moving block 22, a worm gear 21, a worm 19, a mounting base 18, and a limiting connector 23. The moving block 22 is threadedly connected to the lifting screw 4 and slidably connected to the limiting rod 5. The soaking tank 12 is rotatably connected to the moving block 22. The mounting base 18 is fixedly connected to the moving block 22. The worm 19 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 18. The limiting connector 23 is fixedly connected to the soaking tank 12. The worm gear 21 is fixedly connected to the limiting connector 23 and cooperates with the worm 19.

[0028] The outer tub 15 is used to store water or chemicals for soaking chili seeds. The heating element 13 inside the outer tub heats the water in the outer tub 15, allowing for warm water soaking. However, the water temperature should not exceed 60℃. A thermometer can be used for temperature control. The soaking tub 12 stores the chili seeds to be soaked. Several small holes are provided around the soaking tub 12 to prevent the seeds from detaching while allowing water to enter. The lifting screw 4 drives the adjusting device 9 to move up and down, and the adjusting device 9 drives the soaking tub 12 to move up and down and rotate. Specifically, in use, the chili seeds are placed in the soaking tub 12, and the lifting screw 4 is turned to move the soaking tub 12 into the outer tub 15, which contains the soaking solution. After soaking, the lifting screw 4 is turned to raise the soaking tub 12, causing its bottom to leave the water surface and drain the water. Then, the worm gear 19 is rotated, which drives the worm wheel 21 to rotate. The worm wheel 21, through the limiting connector 23, drives the soaking tank 12 to rotate. Figure 3 As shown, the bottom door 14 is then opened to release the chili seeds from the soaking tank 12. This method facilitates the transfer of soaked chili seeds, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a base plate 1 is fixed to the bottom of the outer tub 15. The base plate 1 provides additional support, increasing the overall stability of the outer tub 15 and preventing it from tilting or collapsing during use.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting frame includes a mounting plate 7 and a support rod 6. The support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and the mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 6. The lifting screw 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 7, and the limiting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 7. The connection between the support rod 6 and the base plate 1 provides a stable foundation, and the rotatable connection between the lifting screw 4 and the mounting plate 7 makes adjustment and operation more convenient.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, a rotating wheel 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting screw 4. The rotating wheel 8 provides a grip, allowing the operator to apply force more easily when adjusting the height of the soaking tub 12, thereby reducing hand fatigue. The design of the rotating wheel 8 enables the device to operate smoothly under different conditions, such as in slippery environments or certain special conditions, allowing the user to maintain stable operation.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a rotating handle 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear 19. The rotating handle 20 allows the operator to rotate the worm gear 19 more easily. Through the mechanical structure of the handle, the user can rotate the worm gear 19 with less force, significantly reducing the difficulty of operation. During prolonged operation, the design of the rotating handle 20 effectively reduces hand fatigue; compared to directly rotating the worm gear 19, this design makes continuous operation more comfortable.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting connector 23 includes a limiting connecting rod 25 and a limiting connecting plate 24. The limiting connecting rod 25 is fixedly connected to the soaking tank 12, and the limiting connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the limiting connecting rod 25. The worm gear 21 is fixedly connected to the limiting connecting plate 24. The fixed connection between the limiting connecting rod 25 and the soaking tank 12 and the limiting connecting plate 24 enhances the structural stability of the entire system, ensuring that the soaking tank 12 can operate smoothly during use and is not prone to shaking.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top side of the soaking tub 12 extends outward to form a stabilizing cover 11. The stabilizing cover 11 provides an additional contact surface at the extended portion at the top of the soaking tub 12, making the soaking tub 12 more stable when placed on the outer tub 15.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, heating elements 13 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the outer tank 15. This even circumferential distribution of heating elements 13 ensures uniform heating of the liquid inside the outer tank 15, preventing localized overheating or cooling, and ensuring a uniform temperature distribution of the immersion liquid, thereby improving the immersion effect. Because the heating elements 13 are evenly distributed, the generation of hot spots is effectively reduced, thus lowering the risk of equipment damage or material deterioration caused by localized overheating.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a drain pipe 17 is provided on one side of the bottom of the outer tub 15, and a drain valve 16 is provided on the drain pipe 17. The drain pipe 17 allows the liquid inside the soaking tub 12 to be discharged quickly and effectively, which facilitates cleaning of sewage and replacement of soaking solution after use, and improves the convenience of operation.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a pressure-retaining component 10 is installed inside the soaking tank 12. The pressure-retaining component 10 applies uniform pressure to ensure that all chili seeds are fully in contact with the soaking solution during the soaking process, guaranteeing even soaking and improving the soaking effect. During soaking, chili seeds may float on the surface due to buoyancy; the pressure-retaining component 10 effectively prevents this, ensuring that the seeds remain submerged in the soaking solution and preventing a small number of unsoaked seeds from affecting the overall effect.
