Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lotus seed cultivation technology, specifically to a germination device for lotus seed cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Lotus seeds are the dried, mature seeds of the lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera), a member of the Nymphaeaceae family. They have the effects of tonifying the spleen and stopping diarrhea, stopping leukorrhea, benefiting the kidneys and astringing essence, and nourishing the heart and calming the mind. They are often used for spleen deficiency diarrhea, leukorrhea, seminal emission, palpitations, and insomnia. Lotus seeds need to be soaked and germinated before planting.
[0003] In the prior art, patent document CN212013519U discloses a seed soaking and germination device for lotus seed cultivation, comprising a soaking basin, a reduction motor, a fixing frame, a mesh tray, a through hole, a valve, a round rod, a square through hole, stirring blades, a support rod, a top plate, a nut, a handle, an oxygenation pump, a support foot, an air inlet pipe, an annular cavity, a fixing ring, a nozzle, a one-way valve, a switch, a bearing, a square rod, and a threaded sleeve. This utility model has a reasonable structure. Through the design of the oxygenation structure, air can be effectively introduced into the soaking basin to provide oxygen for the lotus seeds' respiration, eliminating the need for frequent water changes, avoiding water waste, and reducing manual labor intensity. Furthermore, during oxygenation, the coordinated action of the reduction motor, square rod, round rod, and stirring blades agitates the water, dispersing the introduced air and improving the uniformity of dissolved oxygen in the water.

The cultivation component includes a workbench 11, inside which a thermometer and an oxygen content detection device are disposed. A limit block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the workbench 11, and a placement trough 14 is placed on the upper surface of the limit block. A filter screen 15 is detachably connected to the inner wall surface of the workbench 11, and a heater 16 electrically connected to the output terminal of the PLC controller 2 is detachably connected to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the workbench 11. The oxygenation component includes an oxygen tank 12, the outer surface of which is detachably connected to the inner wall of the workbench 11.

[0031] Example 2
[0032] like Figure 1-5As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the driving assembly includes a driving motor 31, one side of which is detachably connected to the outer surface of the worktable 11.

When heating is required, the heater 16 can be activated by the PLC controller 2 to assist in heating the water. After heating to a suitable temperature, the heater 16 is used to maintain the temperature. When oxygenation of the water is required, the solenoid valve 13 can be activated by the PLC controller 2, in conjunction with the oxygen distribution box 17 and the oxygen injection pipe 1. 8. Oxygen is delivered to the workbench 11 for dissolution, thereby increasing the oxygen content of the water. During the germination process of lotus seeds, the drive motor 31 is started, and the drive end of the drive motor 31 drives the lead screw 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving frame 34 to move under the limit of the limiting slide bar 33. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 35 is started, and the extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 35 drives the lifting frame 37 to rise and fall under the limit of the limiting guide rail 36, thereby immersing the stirring rod 38 into the placement tank 14 to slowly stir the seeds, which is beneficial to the germination effect of the seeds.
