TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seed soaking treatment, especially to a kind of crop seed soaking device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the agricultural planting link, seed soaking is an important seed pretreatment step. Seed soaking refers to soaking crop seeds in a specific liquid, allowing the seeds to absorb enough water through water penetration and other effects, breaking dormancy and preparing for subsequent germination. This not only speeds up seed germination, but also improves germination rate and makes crop growth more uniform.
[0003] Currently, during the process of soaking crop seeds, the seeds are directly placed in the seed soaking liquid in a heap, which can not fully soak some seeds, making it difficult to achieve uniform liquid absorption, affecting subsequent germination, and when there are many seeds, manual operation is more time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, we propose a crop seed soaking device to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
[0004] The utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings in the background art and proposes a crop seed soaking device.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Reference Figures 1-4A seed soaking device for crops includes a soaking tank 1, and a soaking mechanism is provided inside the soaking tank 1. The soaking mechanism includes a concave plate 2 fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the soaking tank 1. Multiple rotating shafts 3 are rotatably connected between the bottom of the inner side of the soaking tank 1 and the bottom of the concave plate 2. Two rotating shafts 3 on the same side are connected by a transmission belt 4. Multiple movable rubber plates 5 that slide against the bottom of the inner side of the soaking tank 1 are fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the transmission belt 4. Gears 6 are fixedly sleeved on the outer side walls of the two rotating shafts 3 on the same side. The two gears 6 are meshed together. A motor 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. The output shaft of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the end of one of the rotating shafts 3 to which the gear 6 is fixed.
[0023] To further explain, the motor 7 in the seed soaking mechanism drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, which in turn causes the conveyor belt 4 to operate. The moving rubber plate 5 then slides at the bottom of the seed soaking tank 1. This design allows the seeds to move continuously in the soaking solution, preventing seed accumulation and achieving more complete contact between the seeds and the soaking solution, thus improving the soaking effect. It can also effectively improve the soaking efficiency and ensure the uniformity of the soaking.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a pulley adapted to the material conveyor belt 4 is fitted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3.
[0025] To further explain, the pulley makes the transmission between the conveyor belt 4 and the rotating shaft 3 more stable, reduces slippage, ensures the smooth operation of the moving rubber plate 5, further guarantees the stability of seed movement during the soaking process, and helps to improve the quality of soaking.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the distance between any two adjacent movable rubber plates 5 on the same side is the same.
[0027] To further explain, this design ensures that the seeds are evenly distributed during the movement, avoiding the situation where seeds are concentrated in a certain area, thus allowing each seed to receive relatively consistent soaking conditions, improving the consistency and reliability of soaking.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a fixed frame 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the seed soaking box 1, and the bottom of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 8.
[0029] To further explain, the fixed frame 8 can provide good support and protection for the motor 7.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, an inclined feed strainer 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the soaking tank 1.
[0031] To further explain, the inclined feed strainer 9 makes it convenient for operators to pour seeds into the soaking tank 1. The seeds can automatically slide down the inclined feed strainer into the soaking tank 1, making the operation convenient.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a seed storage mechanism is provided at the bottom of the seed soaking box 1. The seed storage mechanism includes a fixed groove 10 opened at the bottom of the seed soaking box 1, and a grid frame 11 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the fixed groove 10.
[0033] To further explain, the seed storage mechanism makes it easy to remove the grid frame 11 from the soaking tank 1 after the crop seeds have been soaked, thus separating the seeds from the soaking solution. The operation is simple and can effectively prevent the seeds from being difficult to retrieve after soaking, thereby improving seed collection efficiency.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, two curved handles 12 are fixedly installed on the top of the grid frame 11.
[0035] To further explain, the curved handle 12 makes it easier for operators to grip the handle and pull or push the grid frame 11 out of the fixing groove 10 inside the soaking tank 1, increasing the convenience of operation and improving the user experience.
[0036] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:
[0037] Seed placement: Pour the soaking solution into the soaking tank 1. The user walks to the side of the soaking tank 1 and places the crop seeds on the inclined feed strainer 9 at the top of the soaking tank 1. The seeds will automatically slide down the inclined feed strainer into the soaking tank 1. During the placement process, pay attention to the sliding of the seeds to ensure that the seeds enter the soaking tank 1 smoothly and avoid the seeds getting stuck on the feed strainer or spilling out of the tank.
[0038] Start motor 7: Turn on the power switch of motor 7. After motor 7 starts, its output shaft starts to rotate, driving the shaft 3 connected to it to rotate. Since the two shafts 3 on the same side are connected by the transmission belt 4, and the gears 6 on the outer walls of the two shafts 3 on the same side mesh with each other, the other shafts 3 will also rotate, thereby making the transmission belt 4 start to run. At this time, the multiple movable rubber plates 5 fixed on the outer wall of the transmission belt 4 will slide along a certain trajectory at the bottom of the soaking tank 1.
[0039] Soaking process: As the movable rubber plate 5 slides, the seeds in the soaking tank 1 are pushed by the movable rubber plate 5 and continuously tumble and move in the soaking solution. During this process, the seeds can fully contact the soaking solution and carry out the soaking operation. At the same time, pay attention to the soaking time. Depending on the type of crop seed and related soaking requirements, timers and other tools can be used to keep track of the time.
[0040] Soaking process: After the predetermined soaking time has been reached, and all the seeds have fallen into the grid frame 11, turn off the power to the motor 7, walk to the side of the soaking tank 1, hold the two arc-shaped handles 12 at the top of the grid frame 11 with both hands, and slowly pull the grid frame 11 out of the fixing groove 10 at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. Since the grid frame 11 has mesh holes, during the pulling process, the soaking solution will flow back into the soaking tank 1 through the mesh holes, while the soaked seeds will remain in the grid frame 11.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
