Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of seed storage technology, specifically, it relates to a device for convenient potato seed storage. Background Technology

[0002] The potato, belonging to the nightshade family, is an annual herbaceous plant. Its tubers are edible and it is the world's fourth most important food crop, after wheat, rice, and corn. Potatoes are also known as yams, sweet potatoes, and many other names. The name for potatoes varies in different countries; for example, in the United States it is called Irish potato, in Russia Dutch potato, in France ground apple, in Germany ground pear, in Italy ground bean, and in Peru barba. It is considered one of the world's five major crops, along with wheat, rice, corn, and sorghum. Potato tubers contain a large amount of starch, providing abundant calories, and are rich in protein, amino acids, and various vitamins and minerals. In particular, its vitamin content is the most complete among all food crops. In Europe and America, especially North America, potatoes have long been a staple food.

[0003] Potato seeds germinate at temperatures above 4°C but are damaged by freezing at temperatures below 0°C, thus requiring storage devices. Chinese utility model patent CN205249856U discloses a potato seed storage device, including a control box, a housing, an air compressor, and a housing door. The control box at the left end of the humidifier houses a microcontroller and a timer, while the control box at the right end houses a control panel. A spray head is installed at the top center of the housing, and temperature and humidity sensors are installed in the housings at the left and right ends of the spray head, respectively. The air compressor is installed at the bottom of the housing. The timer, temperature sensor, and humidity sensor are electrically connected to the microcontroller, which in turn is electrically connected to a display screen, the humidifier, an exhaust fan, and the air compressor.

[0004] While the aforementioned existing technologies can control the temperature and humidity inside the box, the seeds in the same compartment are stacked together, and the temperature of the seeds at the bottom will be higher than that of the seeds above, which is not conducive to the low-temperature storage of potato seeds. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] To address the problem mentioned in the background art where seeds stacked in the same compartment have a higher temperature at the bottom than those above, which is detrimental to the low-temperature storage of potato seeds, this utility model adopts the following technical solution.

[0007] A convenient potato seed storage device includes a seed storage box with multiple support legs fixedly connected to the bottom of the seed storage box. A feeding port is provided on one side of the outer wall of the seed storage box. A spiral track is fixedly connected inside the seed storage box, with the upper end of the spiral track communicating with the feeding port. The spiral track has a small pitch, allowing the seeds to stay on the spiral track. Multiple through holes are provided on the spiral track. A temperature and humidity control component is connected to the bottom of the seed storage box to control the temperature and humidity inside the seed storage box.

[0008] Preferably, a discharge assembly is provided at the bottom of the seed storage box to discharge the seeds inside the seed storage box to the outside.

[0009] Preferably, the seed storage box is equipped with a feeding assembly that discharges the seeds from the discharge assembly to the outside.

[0010] Preferably, the discharge assembly includes a discharge guide rail and a limiting block. A discharge chute is provided on one side of the bottom of the seed storage box. The discharge guide rail is rotatably connected inside the discharge chute. The limiting block is rotatably connected on one side of the bottom of the seed storage box.

[0011] Preferably, the temperature and humidity control assembly includes a sealed top cover, a connecting pipe, a limiting plate, a connector, an air compressor, and a humidifier. A temperature and humidity sensor is installed inside the seed storage box. A sealed top cover is installed at the top of the seed storage box. A connecting pipe passing through the seed storage box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealed top cover. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe. A connector is rotatably connected to the bottom of the limiting plate. Multiple vent holes are provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe. The connector is detachably connected to the air outlet of the air compressor and the mist outlet of the humidifier.

[0012] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a connecting plate, a rotating column, and a pusher plate. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sealing top cover, and the rotating column is rotatably connected to the upper end of the connecting plate. The pusher plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe. The pusher plate fits against the inner bottom of the seed storage box. By gripping and rotating the rotating column, the sealing top cover and the connecting pipe rotate. The friction surface at the bottom of the sealing top cover rubs against the friction surface at the top of the seed storage box, causing the seed storage box to vibrate and the seeds on the spiral track to move downward. The pusher plate pushes the seeds at the inner bottom of the seed storage box to the discharge chute.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The small pitch of the spiral track results in a gentle slope, allowing seeds to remain on the track. As seeds are continuously added, they are pushed downwards along the spiral track. The through holes effectively ventilate the seeds at the bottom of the spiral track and maintain a suitable temperature for storage, thus improving the quality of preserved seeds and reducing the rate of bad seeds.

[0015] 2. By rotating the limit block in the discharge assembly, the restriction on the discharge guide rail is released, and the discharge guide rail rotates downward, at which point the seeds are discharged outward, making seed discharge more convenient.

[0016] 3. The temperature and humidity inside the seed storage box are detected by the temperature and humidity sensor in the set temperature and humidity control component. The temperature and humidity inside the seed storage box are brought to a suitable threshold by the air compressor and humidifier. The vent hole set on the outer wall of the connecting pipe allows the medium sprayed by the air compressor or humidifier to reach the inside of the seed storage box and flow out from the feeding port, thereby realizing the exchange of air inside and outside, resulting in better seed storage effect.

[0017] 4. By gripping and rotating the rotating column in the feeding assembly, the sealing top cover and connecting pipe rotate. The friction between the friction surface at the bottom of the sealing top cover and the friction surface at the top of the seed storage box causes the seed storage box to vibrate, which in turn causes the seeds on the spiral track to move downward. The pusher plate pushes the seeds at the bottom of the inner side of the seed storage box to the discharge chute and discharges them outward, making seed feeding more convenient and easier to control the discharge amount.
