[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 A rice seed storage device includes a box 1, and a temperature control mechanism 2 and a sealing mechanism 3 are installed inside the box 1.
[0023] Two doors 4 are hinged to the front surface of the box body 1. Two C-shaped plates 5 are fixed to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the box body 1. Two sliding grooves 6 are opened on the surface of the C-shaped plates 5. The mounting shell 7 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding groove 6. The storage drawer 8 is slidably passed through the surface of the mounting shell 7. The top of the mounting shell 7 is fixed with a breathable mesh plate 9. The storage drawer 8 is equipped with a silica gel drying box 10 and an activated carbon adsorption plate 11. A temperature and humidity sensor 12 is fixed to the inner wall of the box body 1. A dehumidifier 13 is located on the inner wall of the box body 1. The drain of the dehumidifier 13 is connected to a drain pipe 14. The drain pipe 14 passes through the box body 1. Ventilation slots are opened on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the box body 1. A ventilation fan 15 is fixed to the left side of the inner wall of the box body 1. A controller 20 is fixed to the surface of the box body 1.
[0024] Through the above technical solution, the box 1 achieves a sliding connection between the mounting shell 7 and the sliding groove 6 via the C-shaped plate 5. The C-shaped design of the C-shaped plate 5 ensures sufficient air circulation space on the left and right sides inside the box 1. When storing and taking out seed bags, opening the box door 4 allows the mounting shell 7 to be removed from the sliding groove 6, thus enabling the mounting shell 7 to be taken out from inside the box 1 for easy storage and retrieval of seed bags. The pull-out design of the storage drawer 8 facilitates the replacement of the silica gel drying box 10 and the activated carbon adsorption plate 11. The seed bags are placed on the surface of the breathable mesh plate 9, which ensures air circulation. The silica gel drying box 10 and the activated carbon adsorption plate 11 absorb moisture and harmful gases. The temperature and humidity sensor 12 monitors environmental data in real time. When the humidity exceeds the standard, the dehumidifier 13 is activated and the condensate is discharged through the drain pipe 14. The ventilation slot and the ventilation fan 15 are linked together with the controller 20 to achieve intelligent ventilation and maintain air circulation inside the box.
[0025] The temperature control mechanism 2 includes an electric heating plate 201, which is fixed to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the box 1. A semiconductor cooler 202 is embedded and fixed on the top of the box 1. The cold side of the semiconductor cooler 202 is located inside the box 1, and a heat dissipation structure is provided on the top of the semiconductor cooler 202.
[0026] Through the above technical solution, the electric heating plate 201 starts up in a low-temperature environment and raises the temperature inside the box through radiant heat; the semiconductor cooler 202 operates at high temperatures, its cold surface absorbs heat inside the box and discharges heat outside the box through the heat dissipation structure, forming a two-way temperature control system to adapt to the temperature requirements of rice seeds in different seasons.
[0027] The top heat dissipation structure of the semiconductor cooler 202 includes heat dissipation fins 203, which are fixedly connected to the heating surface of the semiconductor cooler 202, and an exhaust fan 204 is fixed on the surface of the heat dissipation fins 203.
[0028] Through the above technical solution, the heat from the heating surface of the semiconductor cooler 202 is quickly conducted through the heat dissipation fins 203, and the exhaust fan 204 forces airflow to accelerate the heat dissipation of the heat dissipation fins 203, preventing heat from flowing back into the box.
[0029] The sealing mechanism 3 includes an extension plate 301, which is fixed to the left and right sides of the surface of the box 1. The extension plate 301 is located above the ventilation slot. An electric cylinder 302 is fixed to the top of the extension plate 301. One end of the electric cylinder 302 passes through the extension plate 301 and is fixed with an L-shaped baffle 303 for blocking the ventilation slot.
[0030] Through the above technical solution, the electric cylinder 302 drives the L-shaped baffle 303 to move up and down, blocking or opening the ventilation slot; when it is necessary to reduce the external airflow into the box, the L-shaped baffle 303 covers the ventilation slot to block the external air from entering.
[0031] Multiple ultraviolet lamps 18 are fixed to the rear side of the inner wall of the box 1, and a baffle frame 19 is fixed to the top of the mounting shell 7 to prevent the seed bag from falling off.
[0032] Through the above technical solution, the ultraviolet lamp 18 periodically irradiates the space inside the box to destroy the DNA structure of microorganisms and inhibit mold growth; the baffle 19 is fixed to the top of the mounting shell 7 to limit the displacement of the seed bag.
[0033] HEPA filter plate 16 and insect-proof metal filter 17 are fixed on the inner wall of the ventilation slot on the surface of the housing 1. The insect-proof metal filter 17 is located on the outside of the HEPA filter plate 16.
[0034] Through the above technical solution, the HEPA filter plate 16 in the ventilation slot intercepts dust and tiny insect eggs, and the insect-proof metal filter 17 blocks larger pests from entering, ensuring clean air through dual-layer filtration.
[0035] Two guide rods 304 slide through the surface of the extension plate 301, and the bottom of the guide rods 304 are fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped baffle 303.
[0036] Through the above technical solution, the guide rod 304 penetrates through the extension plate 301, providing track support for the vertical movement of the L-shaped baffle 303 and limiting its lateral displacement.
[0037] In use, open the door 4 and remove the mounting shell 7. Place the seed bag on the surface of the breathable mesh plate 9. The breathable mesh plate 9 ensures air circulation. The silica gel drying box 10 and the activated carbon adsorption plate 11 absorb local moisture and volatile substances. The temperature and humidity sensor 12 collects data from inside the chamber in real time and transmits it to the controller 20. When the humidity exceeds the set threshold, the controller 20 activates the dehumidifier 13 to dehumidify, and the condensate is discharged through the drain pipe 14. If the temperature is abnormal, the electric heating plate 201 or the semiconductor cooler 202 in the temperature control mechanism 2 is activated to adjust the temperature inside the chamber to a suitable range by heating or cooling. The heat dissipation fins 203 of 202 work with the exhaust fan 204 to quickly dissipate heat; the ventilation fan 15 is activated as needed, and the outside air enters the box after being filtered twice by the insect-proof metal filter 17 and the HEPA filter plate 16. The L-shaped baffle 303 of the sealing mechanism 3 is controlled by the electric cylinder 302 to open and close the ventilation slot, reducing external environmental interference; the ultraviolet lamp 18 sterilizes regularly and inhibits mold growth. The entire system is integrated and managed by the controller 20 to achieve fully automated operation of temperature and humidity control, insect and mold control, and ventilation, which significantly improves the stability of the seed storage environment, extends seed life and maintains a high germination rate.
