[0043] In order to better understand the present application, the following will be combined with Figures 1 to 6 ​The technical scheme of the utility model is explained in detail: the staff places the seeds in the germination cylinder 4, and places the germination cylinder 4 in the placing hole 31 of the placing plate 3, and draws the liquid in the second chamber 122 inside through the pump body 22, supplies water to the inside of the first chamber 121, in the water supply process, the push block 911 can be pulled to move downwards in the strip-shaped hole 71, and the bearing plate 91 is driven to extrude the spring damper 8, so that the shielding plate 93 no longer shields the visible glass 6, and the staff can check the liquid level, after checking, the push block 911 is stopped, the spring damper 8 starts to reset, and the bearing plate 91 is pushed to move upwards, so that the shielding plate 93 moves upwards in the groove 51 and shields the visible glass 6, the device is convenient for the staff to check the seed germination in the first chamber 121 at any time, and secondly, when water needs to be changed, the sealing valve 1241 is opened, the liquid in the first chamber 121 flows into the third chamber 123 in the communicating pipe 125 for storage, which is convenient for subsequent recycling, after excretion, the sealing valve 1241 is closed, water is supplied to the inside of the first chamber 121 again through the pump body 22, the liquid level in the first chamber 121 is checked through the visible window 6, which is convenient for subsequent seed germination, the device is simple to operate, and the staff can check the seed germination at any time without lifting the placing plate 3, the application adopts a bottom water supply mode, the germination cylinder 4 is soaked from bottom to top through the water storage chamber 12 instead of being directly watered from the top, mainly simulating natural germination conditions to avoid seed damage, when the seed germinates in natural soil, the water is permeated from the bottom to the top through the soil capillary action, the inverted conical germination cylinder 4 of the device combines with the liquid level rising of the water storage chamber 12 to simulate this process, so that the water is uniformly soaked into the seed, avoiding seed displacement caused by direct top flushing, and the water flow impact may make the seed separate from the germination cylinder 4 or accumulate in the corner, secondly, the seed coat is damaged, and part of the brittle seed (such as lettuce) is directly washed, which is easy to cause mechanical damage, when the bottom water supply is adopted, the upper part of the germination cylinder 4 remains breathable, ensuring the oxygen exchange required for seed respiration, if the top is watered, a water film may be formed to block the pores, causing oxygen deficiency, in the application, the limiting ring 41 on the outer wall of the germination cylinder 4 cooperates with the placing hole 31 of the placing plate 3, so that the lower end of the cylinder body is suspended above the liquid surface of the water storage chamber 12, the water level is adjusted to only contact the bottom of the germination cylinder 4 through the pump body 22, so that progressive water absorption can be realized: the seed slowly absorbs water through the lower opening of the cylinder body, avoiding instantaneous oversaturation (such as wheat seed, which is easy to cause skin cracking if the water absorption is too fast); secondly, waterlogging is avoided, when the water level is too high, the excess water is discharged to the third chamber 123 (waste water chamber) through the communicating pipe 124, preventing the seed from rotting for a long time; compared with the defects of top watering, if the water is directly poured from the top of the germination cylinder 4, the water cannot be uniformly distributed, which may cause local water accumulation in the cylinder;It is difficult to control the water absorption of single seeds (affecting the uniformity of germination), the three-chamber structure (the first chamber 121 is used for water supply, the second chamber 122 is used for water storage, and the third chamber 123 is used for waste storage) provided in the application can discharge waste water through a valve, and the top water irrigation scheme is difficult to realize such hierarchical water management, and in the germination process, the seed coat mucilage or residues may sink to the waste water chamber with water, if water is irrigated from the top, pollutants are easy to adhere to the inner wall of the germination cylinder, increasing the cleaning difficulty.

[0044] The specific embodiments of the utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any various other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model claims.
