Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chili cultivation technology, and in particular relates to a chili seed germination device. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers are annual or short-lived perennial herbaceous plants with nearly glabrous or slightly pubescent stems. Their branches are slightly zigzag-shaped, with terminal nodes that do not elongate, resulting in paired or clustered flowers. The flowers are oblong-ovate, ovate, or ovate-lanceolate, with entire margins, a short acuminate or acute apex, and a narrowly cuneate base. The flowers are solitary and drooping. The calyx is cup-shaped with inconspicuous 5 teeth. The corolla is white with ovate lobes. The anthers are grayish-purple. The fruit stalk is relatively stout and drooping. The fruit is long and finger-like, with an acuminate and often curved apex. It is green when immature, turning red, orange, or purplish-red when mature. It has a spicy taste. Before cultivation, chili pepper seeds need to be germinated using a germination device to increase their survival rate and significantly improve their growth.

[0003] Existing chili seed germination devices require soaking the seeds, wrapping them in gauze, adding water to the gauze to promote germination, and frequently turning the seeds during the germination process to improve the germination effect. However, because the gauze layers stick together when wet, the adjacent layers need to be separated before each time the seeds are turned. Since the gauze used for germination is thin for the sake of air permeability, separating it when wet is quite troublesome and affects the germination efficiency.

[0004] To address this problem, we propose a chili seed germination device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of low germination efficiency in the existing technology, and to propose a chili seed germination device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A chili seed germination device includes a box body and a top cover that cooperate with each other. A horizontal partition is fixedly connected inside the box body. A sheet-shaped moisturizing pad is folded and placed on the partition. A U-shaped placement frame is hinged to one side of the top surface of the partition, and a clamping component for clamping one side of the moisturizing pad is provided at the end of the placement frame away from the hinge.

[0008] Below the partition is a heating component for heating air and a fan component for blowing air. The top surface of the partition has multiple flow holes located outside the placement rack, and the side wall of the box has multiple air outlet holes located above the partition.

[0009] A dripping component is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the top cover, located directly above the moisturizing pad.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom surface of the box body is provided with an air inlet hole, the fan assembly includes a fan fixedly installed in the air inlet hole and the fan blows air upwards, and the heating assembly includes a heating wire fixedly installed directly above the fan.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom wall of the box is fixedly connected to multiple uprights, and the top ends of the multiple uprights are fixedly connected to a horizontal plate, and the heating wire is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the horizontal plate.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a fixed block fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of one end of the placement frame away from the hinge, a movable block slidably disposed on one side of the fixed block, and a spring for driving the movable block to move toward the fixed block fixedly installed inside the placement frame.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block facing away from the hinge of the placement frame, and the connecting rod extends through to the outside of the placement frame.

[0014] Preferably, a baffle is hinged to the top of the air inlet, and a rubber ring that matches the baffle is fixedly connected inside the air outlet.

[0015] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: This chili seed germination device uses a clamping component in conjunction with a placement rack to clamp one side of the moisturizing pad. The placement rack rotates on the partition, allowing the moisturizing pad to be quickly folded or separated. The U-shaped placement rack, in conjunction with a dripping component located directly above the moisturizing pad, allows for the addition of water to the pad. Compared with existing devices, this avoids the problem of thin gauze being difficult to separate when wet, thus improving germination efficiency.

[0016] In addition, by using a pole and a horizontal plate to separate the heating wire from the partition, the hot air from the fan and heating wire is directed to the surrounding area, avoiding the problem of the heating wire and hot air directly heating the bottom surface of the partition, which would affect the uniformity of heating of the chili seeds and improve the germination effect.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 A chili seed germination device includes a box body 1 and a top cover 2 that cooperate with each other. A horizontal partition 3 is fixedly connected inside the box body 1. A sheet-shaped moisturizing pad 4 is folded on the partition 3. A U-shaped placement rack 5 is hinged to one side of the top surface of the partition 3, and a clamping component for clamping one side of the moisturizing pad 4 is provided at the end of the placement rack 5 away from the hinge.

[0025] Below the partition 3 are heating components for heating air and fan 10 components for blowing air. Multiple flow holes 6 are provided through the top surface of the partition 3, located outside the placement rack 5. Multiple air outlet holes 7 are provided through the side wall of the box body 1, located above the partition 3.

[0026] A dripping component 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the top cover 2, located directly above the moisturizing pad 4.

[0027] Reference Figure 5 In using this chili seed germination device, first rotate the placement rack 5 until it rests on one side of the box 1. Then, place the moisturizing pad 4 in the middle of the partition 3, and lift one side of the moisturizing pad 4 and clamp it to the end of the placement rack 5 away from the hinge using the clamping assembly. At this point, place the chili seeds on the top surface of the horizontal section of the moisturizing pad 4. After completion, rotate the placement rack 5 until it is horizontal. Figure 2-3 As shown, the moisturizing pad 4 is folded over and covers the chili seeds. At this time, the top cover 2 is placed over the box body 1, and water or nutrient solution is added to the moisturizing pad 4 using the drip component 8. Then, wait for the seeds to germinate.

[0028] During the waiting period, the fan 10 component is turned on every 2-4 hours to blow out the carbon dioxide produced by the germination of the chili seeds through the air outlet 7, increasing the oxygen concentration inside the box 1 and thus improving the germination effect. If the ambient temperature is too low while the fan 10 component is on, the heating component can be turned on. The fan 10 blows the heated air from the heating component through the circulation hole 6 towards the top of the partition 3, and the cool air escapes from the air outlet 7, thereby further improving the germination effect.

[0029] Reference Figure 2-3 The bottom surface of the box 1 has an air inlet hole 9. The fan 10 assembly includes a fan 10 fixedly installed in the air inlet hole 9 and the fan 10 blows air upward. The heating assembly includes a heating wire 11 fixedly installed directly above the fan 10. The heating assembly heats the air at the air inlet hole 9. The fan 10 assembly blows the heated air upward until the heated air passes through the flow hole 6 from bottom to top.

[0030] Multiple uprights 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the box body 1, and a horizontal plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the multiple uprights 12. The heating wire 11 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 13. The horizontal plate 13 blocks the heating wire 11 from the partition plate 3, avoiding the problem of the heating wire 11 directly irradiating the partition plate 3, which would cause the bottom surface of the partition plate 3 to be abnormally hot, thus improving the uniformity of heating of the chili seeds.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 The clamping assembly includes a fixed block 14 fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the end of the placement frame 5 away from the hinge, a movable block 15 slidably disposed on one side of the fixed block 14, and a spring 16 fixedly installed inside the placement frame 5 to drive the movable block 15 to move toward the fixed block 14. The clamping assembly achieves the automatic movement of the movable block 15 toward the fixed block 14 through the spring 16, thereby clamping one side of the moisturizing pad 4.

[0032] A connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block 15 facing away from the hinge of the placement frame 5, and the connecting rod 17 extends through to the outside of the placement frame 5. The connecting rod 17 facilitates the operation of the movable block 15. Simply press the connecting rod 17, and the movable block 15 will move away from the fixed block 14. At this time, place one side of the moisturizing pad 4 between the fixed block 14 and the movable block 15, release the connecting rod 17, and the moisturizing pad 4 can be clamped by the spring 16 mentioned above in conjunction with the movable block 15.

[0033] Reference Figure 2-3 A baffle 18 is hinged to the top of the air inlet 9, and a rubber ring 19 that matches the baffle 18 is fixedly connected inside the air outlet 7. With the baffle 18 and rubber ring 19 in conjunction, the baffle 18 hangs down naturally when the fan 10 is off, preventing the external environment from interfering with the internal environment of the box 1, improving the stability of the germination environment and the germination effect, and also preventing the temperature inside the box 1 from dropping too quickly due to heat exchange between the outside and the air in the box 1, thus reducing the cost of using the heating wire 11. When the fan 10 blows air upwards, the positive pressure inside the box 1 causes the baffle 18 to rotate outwards, and the baffle 18 separates from the rubber ring 19. Air enters the box 1 from the air inlet 9, passes through the flow hole 6, and exits from the air outlet 7, thereby refreshing the air inside the box 1.

[0034] 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.
