Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage box technology, specifically a seed storage box. Background Technology
[0002] Low-temperature seed storage boxes, as professional equipment for long-term seed preservation, have a problem in practical use: due to the uncertainty of seed access, there may be situations where seeds are accessed very frequently at certain times. This leads to the frequent opening of the seed storage box door. Each time the door is opened, a large amount of hot air from the outside rushes into the box. The original cold air inside the box condenses into water vapor as it is heated, resulting in a consistently high humidity level inside the box. This high humidity environment has an adverse effect on the seeds, causing them to become damp and affecting their vigor and germination rate. To solve this problem, this application proposes a seed storage box. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above technical problems, this application provides a seed storage box, including a low-temperature storage box and a dispensing component. The dispensing component is installed on the low-temperature storage box and includes a storage box, a connecting pipe, a guide pipe, a spiral blade, an inclined bottom plate, and a push plate.
[0004] The storage box is movably installed inside the low-temperature storage box. The feed pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the low-temperature storage box. The connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the feed pipe and penetrates into the low-temperature storage box. The spiral blade is movably installed inside the connecting pipe. The inclined base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box. The push plate is movably installed inside the storage box and located above the inclined base plate.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a seed storage box, including a low-temperature storage box 1, and a dispensing component 3, which is installed on the low-temperature storage box 1. The dispensing component 3 includes a storage box 301, a connecting pipe 303, a guide pipe 306, a spiral blade 308, an inclined bottom plate 315, and a push plate 317. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected inside the low-temperature storage box 1, and the storage box 301 is movably installed on the support frame 2.
[0026] Storage box 301 is movably installed inside low temperature storage box 1, feed pipe 306 is fixedly connected to the outside of low temperature storage box 1, connecting pipe 303 is fixedly connected to the side of feed pipe 306 and the connecting pipe 303 penetrates into low temperature storage box 1, and spiral blade 308 is movably installed inside connecting pipe 303.
[0027] Furthermore, the receiving component 3 also includes a docking interface 302, a valve groove 304, and a valve plate 305. The docking interface 302 is located on the outside of the storage box 301, the valve groove 304 is located on the inside of the storage box 301, the valve plate 305 is movably installed in the valve groove 304, and the docking pipe 303 is movably installed in the docking interface 302.
[0028] The interface 302 facilitates the accurate introduction of the connecting pipe 303 and prevents positional deviation. The valve plate 305 is used to open or close the interface 302. When the seeds are placed in the storage box 301, the valve 311 is opened and the connecting pipe 303 is introduced into the interface 302, so that the seeds can easily enter the connecting pipe 303 and contact the spiral blade 308.
[0029] Furthermore, the receiving component 3 also includes a rotating rod 307, a bearing 309, and a knob 310. The rotating rod 307 is rotatably connected to the feed tube 306 via the bearing 309. One end of the rotating rod 307 is fixedly connected to the knob 310, and the knob 310 is located on the outside of the feed tube 306. The other end of the rotating rod 307 extends into the connecting tube 303, and the other end of the rotating rod 307 is fixedly connected to the spiral blade 308.
[0030] The knob 310 is located on the outside of the feed tube 306. The rotating rod 307 rotates as the knob 310 rotates, thereby operating the spiral blade 308 to rotate. The spiral blade 308 guides the contacting seeds into the interior by rotating.
[0031] Furthermore, the receiving component 3 also includes a valve 311 and a receiving pipe 312. The receiving pipe 312 is located below the guide pipe 306. The receiving pipe 312 is fixedly connected to the guide pipe 306 through the valve 311. The receiving component 3 also includes a receiving cover 313 and a sealing gasket 314. The sealing gasket 314 is fixedly connected inside the receiving cover 313. The receiving cover 313 is threadedly connected to the receiving pipe 312.
[0032] The receiving cover 313 is connected by threads to clamp the sealing gasket 314 below the receiving pipe 312, sealing the receiving pipe 312 and preventing external gas from entering. When the receiving pipe 312 is open, it can be closed by valve 311 to seal the upper guide pipe 306.
[0033] Seeds are stored in storage box 301, which is placed on support frame 2. Storage box 301 is moved to the side so that connecting pipe 303 is inserted into connecting interface 302. Then, valve plate 305 is opened and knob 310 is turned, causing rotating rod 307 to rotate. Spiral blade 308 at one end of rotating rod 307 rotates synchronously, guiding seeds through the rotating spiral blade 308 and into guide pipe 306. Under the action of gravity, seeds slide downwards, pass through valve 311, and enter the receiving pipe 312 below. The receiving pipe 312 and receiving cover 312... 13 is made of transparent material, such as plastic, so that the amount of seeds inside can be easily observed. When there are enough seeds, the knob 310 is stopped and the valve 311 is closed, so that the feed tube 306 is kept sealed to prevent external hot air from entering the low temperature storage box 1. At this time, the receiving cover 313 is unscrewed, so that the seeds fall onto the receiving cover 313, thus completing the seed retrieval. During the seed retrieval process, the low temperature storage box 1 can remain sealed to prevent a large amount of external hot air from entering, which can effectively prevent the internal moisture from increasing, thus better storing the seeds.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides another technical solution: the inclined base plate 315 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 301, the push plate 317 is movably installed inside the storage box 301 and located above the inclined base plate 315, the retrieval component 3 also includes a slide 316 and a slide head 318, the slide 316 is fixedly connected to both sides of the storage box 301, the slide head 318 is fixedly connected to both sides of the push plate 317, the slide head 318 is movably installed inside the slide 316, the retrieval component 3 also includes a connecting rod 319 and a counterweight 320, the connecting rod 319 is fixedly connected to the push plate 317, and the counterweight 320 is movably installed on the connecting rod 319.
[0036] The bottom of the storage box 301 features an inclined base plate 315, which facilitates the rolling of seeds to the side. A sliding push plate 317 is mounted on the inclined base plate 315. The push plate 317 is slidably connected to the carriage 316 via a slide head 318. Several counterweights 320 are mounted on the push plate 317 to enhance its own weight, making it easier to push the push plate 317 to the side. Under the action of the inclined base plate 315, the seeds roll to the side, making it easier for them to enter the connecting tube 303 and come into contact with the spiral blade 308. The push plate 317 applies an auxiliary force to the side rolling of the seeds, and the movement of the push plate 317 reduces the amount of seeds remaining on the inclined base plate 315.
