Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or it can be connected to a component in between. When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or it may be set to a component in between.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0037] In this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number or order of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0038] refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a seed germination device 1000 for crops or weeds, including a frame 100 with wheels 110 at the bottom, a first box 200 disposed on the frame 100, a second box 300 disposed on the first box 200, and a cultivation tray 400.

[0039] A handle 120 is movably mounted on the frame 100, allowing the operator to move the frame 100 by pulling the handle 120. The handle 120 is a telescopic rod structure, and its bottom is rotatably connected to the frame 100. The frame 100 is a frame structure, for example, as shown in the figure, it is composed of multiple aluminum profiles spliced ​​together.

[0040] The first housing 200 is mounted on the frame 100 and has a hollow interior. The second housing 300 includes a base 310, which is located on the upper surface of the first housing. The top of the base 310 is open and includes a bottom wall 311 and an upper perimeter 312 extending upward from the bottom wall 311. The bottom wall 311 and the upper perimeter 312 enclose a storage space for storing liquid (in this application, the liquid is water, but it could also be nutrient solution). A drain valve 320 is provided on the base 310. In the figure, the drain valve 320 is located on the upper perimeter 312.

[0041] The cultivation tray 400 is at least partially disposed within the accommodating space. The cultivation tray 400 is provided with a plurality of grooves 410 for placing seeds. The bottom of the grooves 410 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 311, and the bottom of the grooves 410 is provided with drainage holes 411, through which liquid can enter and exit the grooves 410.

[0042] The germination device 1000 also includes a heating device disposed within the first housing 200, comprising a heating wire 510 for heating the base 310. The heating wire 510 has a heating range of 5-50 degrees Celsius, and its heating temperature can be set. The heating wire 510 is located above the first housing 200, and it can protrude from the upper surface of the first housing 200 and directly contact the base 310 to achieve heat conduction.

[0043] In actual operation, the seeds are placed in the groove 410, and liquid is injected into the container until the liquid level reaches the drain hole 411, submerging the seeds. The heating wire 510 is activated to heat the base 310, which then conducts the heat to the internal liquid. The drain valve 320 helps regulate the liquid volume, or after the seeds germinate, some liquid is drained to lower the liquid level to prevent root rot.

[0044] Compared to existing methods of regulating air temperature, this application regulates the temperature of the seed soaking liquid, resulting in better temperature control. Furthermore, it has less impact on the external environment of the germination device, such as when placed outdoors. Correspondingly, the base 310 is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, and the heating temperature is between 5-50 degrees Celsius, preventing accidental burns.

[0045] Combination Figure 6 In one embodiment, the germination device 1000 further includes a temperature sensor, a control unit, and an input unit 600. The temperature sensor is mounted on the first housing 200 and electrically connected to the control unit. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the base 310 and transmits the temperature signal to the control unit, which then performs closed-loop control of the heating wire 510. The input unit 600 includes an operation panel fixed to the surface of the first housing 200, facilitating the operator to set the operating temperature of the heating wire 510 and perform start / stop operations. The germination device 1000 also includes a display unit 700 mounted on the handle 120. The display unit 700, such as a display screen, is electrically connected to the control unit, which displays information such as the temperature of the base 310 on the display unit 700. The handle 120 is hollow, allowing wires to pass through.

[0046] The liquid can be added manually or by installing an inlet connector 350 on the base 310. A water pump is installed inside the first housing 200, and the water pump is connected to the inlet connector 350 via a pipe 360. The water pump is electrically connected to and controlled by a control unit, and its actual operation is controlled by an operation panel. Correspondingly, a water tank for temporary liquid storage is installed inside the first housing 200, and the water tank is connected to the inlet of the water pump.

[0047] The second housing 300 and the first housing 200 are detachably connected. For example, the base 310 has a lower circumference 313 extending downward relative to the bottom wall 311. The lower circumference 313 cooperates with the outer peripheral surface of the first housing 200 to restrict the movement of the second housing 300 relative to the first housing 200 on the horizontal plane, facilitating the overall movement of the germination device 1000. It also serves as an assembly positioning element. The heating wire 510 can evenly heat the base 310. At the same time, the lower circumference wraps around and encloses the first housing 200 to form a relatively closed area, reducing heat loss from the heating wire 510 and improving heating efficiency. The pipe 360 ​​is a compression fitting, and the liquid inlet connector 350 is a compression fitting, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly.

[0048] In one embodiment, a locking mechanism is provided between the base 310 and the first housing 200 to restrict their separation, such as the latch lock 520 shown in the figure. The number of latch locks 520 is at least two, and they are arranged at intervals around the circumference. In combination with the shapes of the first housing 200 and the base 310, there are four latch locks arranged on the four circumferential surfaces of the first housing 200.

[0049] In one embodiment, the culture tray 400 is provided with a positioning portion that abuts against the inner wall of the upper perimeter 312 of the base 310. The positioning portion is used to restrict the movement of the culture tray 400 relative to the base 310. The culture tray 400 is made of metal to prevent it from floating on liquid. Specifically, the culture tray 400 has a horizontal section 430 with a groove 410, a vertical section 440, a first positioning portion 421, and a second positioning portion 422. The vertical section 440 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal section 430. The first positioning portion 421 is connected to the vertical section 440, and the other two sides of the horizontal section 430 extend outward to form the second positioning portion 422. The second positioning portion 422 is provided with a handle portion 431 (shown as an opening in the figure), which is used by the operator to lift the culture tray 400.

[0050] In one embodiment, the second housing 300 includes a cover 330 that engages with a base 310. The cover 330 has a closed state, which engages with the base 310 to enclose the accommodating space, and an open state, which opens the accommodating space. In the closed state, the accommodating space remains connected to the outside atmosphere, for example, by providing ventilation holes in the cover 330. The cover 330 is transparent, and the germination device includes a light-shielding cover 340 mounted on the cover 330. The light-shielding cover 340 is made of flexible cloth. When the light-shielding cover 340 is rolled up and stored, light shines on the seeds. When the light-shielding cover 340 is unfolded, it covers the second housing 300 to block light from entering the second housing 300. The cover 330 is detachably connected to the base 310, and a flap 331 is hinged to the top of the cover 330, facilitating observation of the internal condition and corresponding operations after opening the flap 331.

[0051] In one embodiment, a battery for providing power is disposed within the first housing 200, and a solar panel 800 is disposed on the frame 100, the solar panel 800 being electrically connected to the battery. The germination device of this application can be placed outdoors for extended periods of operation. The battery can directly power the aforementioned electrical equipment, or indirectly power the equipment through a control unit. The germination device 1000 includes a support tube 130 disposed between the housing (first housing 200 and second housing 300) and the handle 120, and the solar panel 800 is disposed on the support tube 130. See also... Figure 5In a preferred embodiment, the pull handle 120 includes a telescopic tube 122 and an operating handle 123 disposed on the telescopic tube 122. A locking member 121 is disposed on the telescopic tube 122. When the pull handle 120 is reset to a vertical position, the locking member 121 can be locked and fixed with the support tube 130 to prevent the pull handle 120 from shaking arbitrarily.

[0052] The seed germination device for crops or weeds disclosed in this application, wherein the seeds are soaked in a liquid and the temperature of the liquid is controlled to better ensure the temperature requirements required for seed germination, and the water is drained during seed germination and continued cultivation to avoid root rot.

[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features of different embodiments are embodied in the same drawing, it can be regarded as the drawing also disclosing examples of combinations of the various embodiments involved.

[0054] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
