[0030] 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.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "up," "down," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0032] 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 invention pertains; the terminology used herein in the description of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention; the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an outer frame 12 is connected between the outer shells 1 by a fixing rod 11. A water circulation structure 13 is provided inside the fixing rod 11, penetrating itself and the outer shells 1. The outer shells 1 are distributed around the fixing rod 11, and multiple layers of outer shells 1 are provided on the fixing rod 11. The water circulation structure 13 includes a water pump device 14 located at the center of the outer frame 12. A main pipe 15 connected to the water pump device 14 is provided above it. A branch pipe 17 penetrating the fixing rod 11 is connected above the main pipe 15 by a cross connector 16. Several evenly distributed water outlet pipes 18 corresponding to the culture tank 3 are provided on the branch pipes 17. Several evenly distributed through holes are provided on the water outlet pipes 18. Culture soil is provided inside the outer shell 1, placed above the through holes of the culture tank 3 and the water outlet pipes 18. Both ends of the water outlet pipes 18 are connected to the branch pipes 17. The end of the branch pipe 17 away from the main pipe 15 is connected to the bottom side of the water pump device 14. A mounting base corresponding to itself is provided below the outer frame 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the design of the water circulation structure 13 fully considers the requirements for uniformity and stability of water supply during rice breeding. Driven by the water pump device 14, water is transported through the main pipe 15 to the distribution pipe 17, and then evenly distributed by the distribution pipe 17 to each outlet pipe 18, ensuring that each culture tank 3 receives an appropriate amount of water. The through-hole design on the outlet pipe 18 allows water to penetrate into the culture soil, providing a suitable moist environment for the rice seeds.

[0035] Furthermore, the design of the cross connector 16 makes the layout of the diversion pipe 17 more reasonable, facilitating maintenance and replacement. The connection between both ends of the outlet pipe 18 and the diversion pipe 17 ensures the continuity and stability of water circulation, while also facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the water circulation system.

[0036] The base design provides stable support for the entire germination device, ensuring its stability during operation. The base design also considers ease of movement and installation, allowing the entire device to be flexibly arranged according to the needs of breeding work.

[0037] In this embodiment, a stable structure is formed by connecting the fixing rod 11 and the outer frame 12, so that the multi-layer outer shell 1 can be evenly surrounded around the fixing rod 11. This design not only improves the space utilization rate, but also enables the water circulation structure 13 to provide water to each culture tank 3 more evenly.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a detachable rice breeding and germination device includes an outer shell 1. The inner side of the outer shell 1 is provided with a movable groove 2, and a corresponding cultivation groove 3 is provided above the movable groove 2. The inner side of the outer shell 1 is provided with a rotating groove 4 corresponding to the movable groove 2. Fixed shafts 5 inserted into the inner side of the outer shell 1 are fixedly connected to both ends of the movable groove 2. A torsion spring 6 is provided between the fixed shaft 5 and the outer shell 1, and both ends of the torsion spring 6 are fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 5 and the outer shell 1, respectively.

[0039] In this embodiment, the movable trough 2 is connected to the outer casing 1 via a fixed shaft 5. This design allows the movable trough 2 to be quickly disassembled when needed, facilitating sampling or nutrient replacement. The torsion spring 6 provides the necessary elasticity to ensure that the movable trough 2 remains stably inside the outer casing 1 after disassembly, while also providing convenience when disassembly is required. The cultivation trough 3, located above the movable trough 2, is used to hold rice seeds and nutrients, while the rotating trough 4 allows the movable trough 2 to rotate within it, further increasing the operational flexibility of the device.

[0040] In addition, a blocking block 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable trough 2 near the outer shell 1. When the movable trough 2 rotates to a specific position, the blocking block can seal the opening of the culture tank 3, preventing the nutrient solution from overflowing during replacement and also preventing seeds from scattering during sampling. This design not only improves the convenience of operation but also helps maintain the cleanliness of the breeding environment and the integrity of the seeds.

[0041] It's important to note that bottom-mounted nutrient replacement allows breeders to change the nutrient solution directly from the bottom without disassembling the entire device. This minimizes interference with the rice seed growth environment and maintains the continuity and stability of the germination process. Secondly, bottom-mounted nutrient replacement avoids direct contact with the seeds, reducing damage caused by human intervention, which is crucial for maintaining seed integrity and improving germination rates. Furthermore, this design facilitates rapid nutrient replenishment, ensuring rice seeds grow under optimal nutritional conditions, thereby increasing breeding success rates. Bottom-mounted nutrient replacement allows breeders greater flexibility in controlling the type and concentration of nutrients to meet the needs of different growth stages, which is significant for developing high-quality rice varieties. Finally, this design helps reduce nutrient waste; precise control of nutrient dosage makes it more environmentally friendly and economical.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a blocking block 7 corresponding to the rotating tank 4 and the culture tank 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable tank 2 near the outer shell 1, thereby sealing the culture tank 3 during rotation. A drain hole 8 is provided at the bottom of the culture tank 3. A removable cover is provided at the top of the outer shell 1, with a vent hole on the cover. A temperature sensor is provided on one side of the outer shell 1 to monitor the internal temperature and is connected to an adjustable heating element via a control system. The inner wall of the movable tank 2 is coated with a waterproof material.

[0043] In this embodiment, the design of the blocking block 7 ensures that the opening of the culture tank 3 can be effectively sealed when the movable tank 2 is rotated to a specific position. This prevents leakage of nutrients and moisture when changing nutrients or performing other operations, keeping the inside of the device clean and dry. The drainage hole 8 allows excess water to drain from the culture tank 3, preventing water accumulation that could lead to seed rot, and also facilitates the replacement and management of nutrients.

[0044] The removable lid and vents on it provide excellent ventilation, helping to maintain suitable humidity and gas exchange, and providing the necessary oxygen for seed respiration and growth. The temperature sensor allows for more precise temperature control during the breeding process. Connected to the control system, it can automatically adjust the operating status of the heating element, ensuring that the temperature remains stable within the optimal range for seed germination during the germination process.

[0045] The waterproof coating on the inner wall of the active tank 2 further improves the durability and reliability of the device, prevents moisture penetration and corrosion, and extends the service life of the device.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the outer frame 12 supports the outer shell 1. The outer side of the outer frame 12 is provided with a heat insulation layer, and the inner side is provided with a temperature sensor. The heat insulation layer is made of heat-insulating material. The water pump device 14 is controlled by a programmable controller. The bottom of the movable trough 2 is provided with a removable drainage plate, and the drainage plate is provided with drainage holes. The water circulation structure 13 includes a filter structure placed between the water pump device 14 and the main pipe 15.

[0047] In this embodiment, the outer frame 12 not only provides stable support for the outer shell 1, ensuring the overall stability of the device, but its outer insulation layer can also effectively isolate the influence of external temperature changes on the internal breeding environment, maintaining a stable internal temperature and thus providing a more stable temperature condition for the rice seed germination process. The internal temperature sensor can monitor the internal temperature in real time and feed the data back to the programmable controller, enabling precise control of the breeding environment.

[0048] The programmable control function of the water pump device 14 allows the water circulation process to be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, it can automatically adjust the water flow rate and circulation speed based on feedback information from the temperature sensor to maintain optimal germination conditions. This intelligent control method improves the automation level of the breeding process, reduces manual intervention, and increases efficiency.

[0049] In this embodiment, the programmable controller (PLC) achieves precise control of the rice breeding germination device through its modular structure. The water pump device 14, controlled by the PLC, automatically adjusts the water flow and circulation speed based on feedback information from the temperature sensor to maintain optimal germination conditions. This intelligent control method improves the automation level of the breeding process, reduces manual intervention, and increases efficiency. Simultaneously, the connection between the fixing rod 11 and the outer frame 12 forms a stable structure, allowing the multi-layered outer shell 1 to evenly surround the fixing rod 11. This design not only improves space utilization but also enables the water circulation structure 13 to provide water more evenly to each cultivation tank 3.

[0050] The removable drainage plate at the bottom of the movable tank 2 makes cleaning and maintenance easier. The drainage holes allow water to be quickly drained from the movable tank when needed, facilitating the replacement of the potting soil or cleaning and disinfection.

[0051] The filtration structure in the water circulation structure 13 is located between the water pump device 14 and the main pipe 15. It can effectively filter impurities and microorganisms in the water, ensuring clean water quality and providing a pollution-free growth environment for rice seeds. This design is of great significance in preventing the occurrence and spread of diseases and helps to improve the success rate of breeding.

[0052] In use, first, place the outer casing 1 on a stable workbench to ensure that the temperature sensor 13 can accurately monitor the internal temperature and automatically adjust the working state of the heating element 15 through the control system 14; next, open the removable cover on the top of the outer casing 1 and perform necessary ventilation through the vent hole 12 on the cover to ensure internal air circulation; then, inject the pre-prepared nutrient solution through the drain hole 8 at the bottom of the culture tank 3. The drain hole 8 allows for easy control of the nutrient solution level, and allows for the removal of excess water or replacement of the nutrient solution when necessary; finally, evenly place the rice seeds in the culture tank 3, ensuring that the seeds are fully hydrated. The seed tank 3 is first exposed to the nutrient solution. Next, the movable trough 2 is installed into the rotating trough 4 inside the outer shell 1. Both ends of the movable trough 2 are connected to the outer shell 1 via fixed shafts 5. A torsion spring 6 is provided between the fixed shafts 5 and the outer shell 1 to ensure the movable trough 2 is stably fixed in place. Then, by rotating the movable trough 2, the position of the blocking block 7 can be adjusted to seal or open the culture tank 3 for sampling or nutrient solution replacement. Throughout the breeding process, the internal temperature can be monitored by the temperature sensor 13 to ensure the seeds grow at a suitable temperature. Finally, after the breeding process is completed, the movable trough 2 can be quickly disassembled to easily remove the seeds for subsequent evaluation or planting. The entire process is simple and quick, greatly improving the efficiency of rice breeding.

[0053] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the claims.
