Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed breeding technology, specifically a seed selection and soaking device. Background Technology
[0002] Soaking techniques are crucial in seed selection and breeding, involving immersing seeds in water or a specific solution to promote germination and sterilize. Rice seeds require sun-drying for 6-8 hours before soaking, followed by soaking for 33-35 hours at a water temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius for 8-12 hours. For chemical soaking, 25% prochloraz is commonly used. Vegetable seeds are soaked in 20-25 degree Celsius water for varying times depending on the variety; for example, cabbage requires 2-4 hours, while eggplant and peppers require 4-8 hours. Warm water soaking (above 40 degrees Celsius) is another disinfection method. Chemical soaking uses potassium permanganate, among other solutions. The purpose of soaking is to allow seeds to quickly absorb water and reach the normal germination moisture content. However, it is important to avoid prolonged soaking and maintain clean water to prevent seed damage. These methods can improve seed germination rate and growth vigor, increasing crop yield and quality.
[0003] Publication number CN211240748U discloses a seed selection and soaking device, comprising a soaking tank, a first motor, a circulating water pump, and a second motor. A base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking tank, and an outer cylinder is installed through the middle of the tank. The first motor and the circulating water pump are fixedly installed at the top of the base, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner cylinder. A rotating support and the second motor are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the soaking tank, and a sleeve is installed on the internal bearing of the rotating support. A first soaking basket and a second soaking basket are movably installed inside the soaking tank, and a toothed block is fixed on the outer wall of the second soaking basket, which is located outside the inner cylinder. This seed selection and soaking device improves the soaking effect of seeds and effectively avoids the problem of incomplete soaking caused by seed accumulation during soaking.
[0004] The above technology utilizes a soaking tank, a first motor, a circulating water pump, and a second motor to improve the soaking effect. However, the soaking tank is a semi-enclosed space, which cannot allow the seeds to fully contact the nutrient solution.
[0005] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing shortcomings and proposed a seed selection and soaking device. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a seed selection and soaking device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a seed selection and soaking device, comprising: a floating frame plate, a pin provided on one side of the top of the floating frame plate, a top cultivation substrate inserted on the outside of the pin, an extension substrate provided at the bottom of the top cultivation substrate, a cultivation block provided on the surface of the extension substrate and the top cultivation substrate, and a seed hole provided in the middle of the inner side of the cultivation block.
[0008] An operating frame is provided on the outer side of the floating frame plate, and an auxiliary structure is provided at the bottom of the floating frame plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the overall structure of the floating platform is U-shaped, and the length of the operating frame is slightly less than the length of the floating platform, making it easier for users to observe the extended substrate or top substrate inside the floating platform through the operating frame.
[0010] Furthermore, the connection structure between the extension substrate and the top substrate is assembled by welding vertical connecting pipes, which facilitates the determination of the installation position of the extension substrate during the installation of the top substrate.
[0011] Furthermore, the growth block has a rectangular shape, and the center point of the seed hole overlaps with the geometric center of the growth block, which facilitates the equal spacing of seeds when placed in the seed hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the auxiliary structure includes a water guide pipe, a float plate, an inlet pipe, and a distribution pipe. A distribution pipe is vertically installed inside the arc-shaped portion at the front end of the float plate. A water guide pipe is installed at the bottom end of the distribution pipe. A float plate is installed at the bottom end of the water guide pipe. An inlet pipe is installed at the other end of the water guide pipe. The diameter of the inlet pipe is larger than the diameter of the water guide pipe, so that the inlet pipe can absorb the nutrient solution to the maximum extent.
[0013] Furthermore, the overall structure of the water guide pipe is a folded structure, and the length of the water guide pipe is equal to the length of the floating frame plate, so that the water guide pipe will not occupy the space inside the external cultivation tank.
[0014] Furthermore, the float is made of foam board, which facilitates the float to provide buoyancy for the water pipe.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. This utility model uses a pin to hold the top cultivation substrate on the top of the floating frame plate. At the same time, the bottom of the top cultivation substrate is provided with multiple extended substrates. The seed holes provide space for seed selection and cultivation, and the top cultivation substrate provides spaced planes for the structure after the seeds have grown. In this way, the operator can cultivate seeds in multiple layers. The top cultivation substrate provides space for the early stage of seed cultivation, and the seed holes provide spaced storage for the seeds after they have grown, which facilitates the arrangement of seeds for planting and multi-layer cultivation.
[0017] 2. In this invention, after the inlet pipe introduces the nutrient solution, the float provides buoyancy for the inlet pipe and the water guide pipe, ensuring that the overall structure of the water guide pipe and the float plate remain in a relatively stable position. At the same time, the distribution pipe continuously delivers the nutrient solution discharged from the water guide pipe into the interior of the float plate. This design ensures that the seeds receive a stable nutrient solution input during soaking, and the float prevents the water guide pipe and the float plate from sinking due to excessive weight after being integrated.

[0024] 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.
[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a seed selection and soaking device includes: a floating frame plate 1, a pin 2 is provided on one side of the top of the floating frame plate 1, a top cultivation substrate 3 is inserted on the outside of the pin 2, an extension substrate 6 is provided at the bottom of the top cultivation substrate 3, a cultivation block 5 is provided on the surface of the extension substrate 6 and the top cultivation substrate 3, and a seed hole 4 is provided in the middle of the inner side of the cultivation block 5.
[0026] An operation frame 7 is provided on the outer side of the floating frame plate 1, and an auxiliary structure 8 is provided at the bottom end of the floating frame plate 1.
[0027] The rest are as follows: Since the floating frame plate 1 has a U-shaped structure, and the pin 2 and the top cultivation base plate 3 are set at the top of the floating frame plate 1, and the bottom of the top cultivation base plate 3 is provided with a multi-layer extension base plate 6, the overall internal space utilization of the floating frame plate 1 can be maximized. The seed hole 4 provides space for the initial placement of seeds, and the cultivation block 5 provides spaced storage surfaces for the plants that have grown after the seeds have been cultivated for a period of time, so as to prevent the plants from intertwining. In addition, the operation frame 7 on the outside of the floating frame plate 1 can fully introduce nutrient solution. The user can select the placement height of the floating frame plate 1 according to the depth of the nutrient solution, so that the position of the multiple operation frames 7 immersed in the nutrient solution can be changed.
[0028] This has resulted in the following effects and novel technologies:
[0029] The seed selection and soaking device brings several benefits and innovative technologies through its unique design: First, the U-shaped floating frame 1 maximizes the utilization of the internal space, accommodating more seeds and plants, and increasing planting density and efficiency; second, the seed holes 4 provide specific space for initial seed storage, while the growth blocks 5 provide spaced storage surfaces for plant growth, effectively separating the initial seed storage space from the plant growth space, which is beneficial for both initial seed growth and later management; in addition, the design of the growth blocks 5 prevents plants from intertwining, ensuring that each plant receives sufficient nutrients and light, promoting healthy growth; the adjustable soaking height allows users to adjust the placement height of the floating frame 1 according to the depth of the nutrient solution, meeting the growth needs of seeds and plants at different stages; the design of the operating frame 7 increases the flexibility and convenience of operation, allowing adjustment of the soaking position and depth according to the seed growth status; the application of these technologies not only improves the efficiency and quality of seed selection and breeding but also simplifies the operation process, providing a scientific and efficient solution for seed selection and breeding.
[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a seed selection and soaking device includes an auxiliary structure 8 comprising a water guide pipe 81, a float plate 82, an inlet pipe 83, and a water distribution pipe 84. A water distribution pipe 84 is vertically installed inside the arc-shaped portion at the front end of the float plate 1. A water guide pipe 81 is installed at the bottom end of the water distribution pipe 84, and a float plate 82 is installed at the bottom end of the water guide pipe 81. An inlet pipe 83 is installed at the other end of the water guide pipe 81, and the diameter of the inlet pipe 83 is larger than the diameter of the water guide pipe 81.
[0031] The rest are as follows: after the water inlet pipe 83 absorbs the nutrient solution and introduces it into the water guide pipe 81, the water guide pipe 81 introduces the nutrient solution into the surface of the extension substrate 6 at the lower end of the top cultivation substrate 3. The designer can vertically design multiple small water pipes at the bottom of the water inlet pipe 83 so that the water inlet pipe 83 can directly irrigate the seeds inside each seed hole 4. In addition, the float plate 82 increases the buoyancy of the water guide pipe 81 to prevent the overall combination structure of the water guide pipe 81 and the float plate 1 from sinking due to excessive weight.
[0032] This has resulted in the following effects and novel technologies:
[0033] The meticulously designed auxiliary structure 8 achieves multiple benefits and innovative technologies, including precise irrigation, multi-point irrigation, prevention of sinking, improved space utilization, and flexible adjustment. Specifically, after the inlet pipe 83 absorbs the nutrient solution, it is introduced into the water guide pipe 81, which then precisely distributes the nutrient solution to the surface of the extension substrate 6 at the lower end of the top cultivation substrate 3, ensuring that the seeds in each seed hole 4 receive the nutrient solution evenly, thus achieving precise irrigation. The design of multiple small water pipes at the bottom of the inlet pipe 83 makes irrigation more uniform and efficient, improving the effect of multi-point irrigation. The addition of the float plate 82 increases the buoyancy of the water guide pipe 81, preventing the overall structure from sinking and ensuring the stability of the device. The internally vertically arranged water distribution pipe 84 and water guide pipe 81 effectively improve space utilization without increasing external space. The difference in diameter between the inlet pipe 83 and the water guide pipe 81 allows for flow rate adjustment to adapt to the growth needs of different seeds and plants, demonstrating the flexibility of the design. The comprehensive application of these technologies provides an efficient, precise, and stable optimized environment for seed cultivation, significantly improving seed germination rate and growth quality.
[0034] Working principle: When using this seed selection and soaking device, first place the floating frame plate 1 into the cultivation pool containing nutrient solution. Then, the user places the seeds into the seed holes 4 on the surface of the top cultivation substrate 3 and the extension substrate 6. When placing the seeds into the seed holes 4 on the surface of the extension substrate 6, the user can place them through the operating frame 7. The operating frame 7 also allows the nutrient solution to fully penetrate the surface of the extension substrate 6. The cultivation blocks 5 on the surface of the top cultivation substrate 3 and the extension substrate 6 provide spaced storage surfaces for the seeds to be cultivated into embryos or plants. The water inlet pipe 83 introduces the nutrient solution into the water guide pipe 81. The water guide pipe 81 introduces the nutrient solution into each layer of the extension substrate 6 and the top cultivation substrate 3 inside the floating frame plate 1 through the water distribution pipe 84. At the same time, the floating plate 82 provides a certain buoyancy to the water guide pipe 81 to prevent the water guide pipe 81 from sinking due to excessive weight of the joint between the floating frame plate 1 and the water guide plate 1. This is the working principle of the seed selection and soaking device.
