Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the agricultural field, and in particular to a constant temperature device for disinfecting tomato seeds with a warm water solution for viral diseases. Background Technology
[0002] Tomato seeds are susceptible to various viral diseases, such as Tomato Chlorosis Virus (ToCV) and Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV). Soaking seeds in warm water before sowing, combined with chemical disinfection, can effectively kill viruses on the seed surface and reduce the occurrence of diseases later.
[0003] Traditional hot water seed soaking mainly relies on manually heating water and soaking seeds. If the temperature is out of control or uneven, it will reduce the disinfection effect and even damage the seed viability. This product has electric heating film and temperature sensor installed at the bottom and side wall of the water tank to detect and regulate the water temperature. Water pumps are installed on both sides of the water tank to draw water from the bottom and spray it from the top to form a circulation system, maintaining a uniform water temperature in the tank. When the water temperature is abnormal, the controller can accurately maintain the water temperature within the set range to avoid damage to seed viability due to abnormal water temperature.
[0004] However, existing disinfection processes require repeated additions of chemicals and alcohol, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, greatly reducing seed disinfection efficiency. This product is equipped with an alcohol tank, a chemical tank, and a water tank. The position of the mesh bag can be freely adjusted via a drive device and sliding rails, allowing the mesh bag to move freely between different tanks. The height of the mesh bag can be adjusted via a telescopic device, and the rotating device can rotate the mesh bag to ensure that the seeds are completely immersed in the liquid and constantly agitated. When disinfection is complete, the control panel will emit a buzzer to notify the user. Multiple mesh bags can meet the disinfection needs of different batches of seeds. This product can reduce manual input, improve seed disinfection efficiency, and automate the seed disinfection process. Therefore, a constant temperature device for hot water disinfection of tomato virus disease seeds is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, by utilizing multi-point temperature sensors and an intelligent controller to coordinate and regulate heating, the temperature is kept constant within a preset range.

This keeps the seed germination rate at a high level and solves the problems of constant temperature control and uniform heating in the seed disinfection process using hot water solution in existing technologies. It ensures that the seed temperature remains stable within the optimal range during disinfection. Automatic stirring or circulation system ensures uniform water temperature, achieving both disinfection effect and seed viability. It also provides an environment for the solution and alcohol while significantly reducing manual operation and improving disinfection efficiency.
[0023] 2. In this invention, an environment for the disinfectant solution and alcohol is provided, and a driving device moves the seed-holding containers between the various chambers, significantly reducing manual operation and improving disinfection efficiency.
[0024] 3. In this utility model, by setting up a seed holding container, a mesh bag is used to soak tomato seeds in it. The mesh bag has evenly spaced openings to ensure full contact with the seeds, improving operational efficiency and preventing seeds from scattering. The entire device is controlled through the operation panel, so that automatic disinfection and automatic temperature control do not require full-time operation. The seeds can be removed after the preset time is reached, which enhances the practicality of the hot water disinfection and constant temperature device for tomato seeds with viral diseases.
