Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed germination technology, specifically a sunflower seed soaking and germination device. Background Technology

[0002] Sunflowers, named for their resemblance to small suns and their heliotropic nature, are plants that attract pollinating bees to collect nectar and pollen. This species has a wide range of uses: edible seeds that can be processed into oils or fats for human consumption, used as animal feed and a potential alternative fuel source, and also cultivated as an ornamental plant. In sunflower cultivation, to improve seed germination rates, seeds are typically pre-germinated several days in advance, currently using warm water soaking. This soaking requires specialized equipment. Existing equipment usually involves placing the seeds entirely in a soaking tank; however, because the soaking solution is static and the seeds are piled together, the soaking effect is poor, reducing the germination rate. Therefore, there is a need to develop a sunflower seed soaking and germination device that can improve the effectiveness of seed soaking. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above technical problems, this utility model provides a sunflower seed soaking and germination device that can improve the seed soaking effect, thereby solving the problem of poor soaking effect of existing seed soaking devices.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a sunflower seed soaking and germination device, including a soaking tank and a material holding box. A transmission box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the soaking tank, and a drive motor is fixedly connected inside the transmission box. The output shaft of the drive motor extends into the soaking tank and is fixedly connected to a rotating disk. Limiting rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating disk. Several material holding boxes are detachably connected to the limiting rods. An end cap is detachably connected to the uppermost material holding box. Several through holes are provided on the material holding box and the end cap.

[0005] Furthermore, a circulating water tank is fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission box, and a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the seed soaking tank.

[0006] Furthermore, an annular water spray pipe is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the seed soaking tank, and several water spray heads are fixedly connected at intervals on the annular water spray pipe. The circulation pipe is connected to the annular water spray pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the material container is fixedly connected to two sides of a limiting plate, and the limiting plate is provided with a limiting hole that matches the limiting rod. The limiting plate and the limiting rod are slidably connected. The end cover is provided with the limiting hole on both sides, and the end cover is slidably connected to the limiting rod. The upper end of the limiting rod is threaded with a clamping nut.

[0008] Furthermore, a connecting ear is fixedly connected to the outer side of the limiting plate, and a spoiler is connected to the connecting ear by bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, annular grooves are provided at corresponding positions on the bottom of the soaking tank and the bottom of the rotating disk, and support balls are rolled and embedded in the annular grooves.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a sunflower seed soaking and germination device includes a soaking tank 1 and a container 6. A transmission box 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the soaking tank 1. A drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the soaking tank 1 in the transmission box 2 via a motor frame and bolts. The output axis of the drive motor 8 extends upward into the soaking tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating disk 4. Limiting rods 5 are vertically fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating disk 4. Several container 6 are detachably connected to the limiting rods 5 in sequence. An end cap 10 is detachably connected to the uppermost container 6. Several through holes are opened on the container 6 and the end cap 10. The size of the through holes is such that the sunflower seeds cannot leak out. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the upper and lower container 6 are aligned and sealed, and the seeds cannot fall out from the connection between the two container 6.

[0024] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: Sunflower seeds are added to each holding box 6, and the holding boxes 6 are connected to the limiting rods 5 in sequence. The upper end cap 10 is installed on the uppermost holding box 6. Water of suitable temperature is injected into the seed soaking tank 1, so that the warm water submerges the end cap 10. The drive motor 8 is controlled to run, and the drive motor 8 drives the rotating disk 4 and the limiting rods 5 to rotate, thereby driving the holding boxes 6 to rotate in the seed soaking tank 1, so that the sunflower seeds are fully soaked.

[0025] In order to achieve the circulation of the soaking solution and further improve the soaking effect, a circulating water tank 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission box 2. A water outlet is opened at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. The water outlet is connected to the circulating water tank 3 through the water outlet pipe 11. The bottom side of the circulating water tank 3 is connected to the upper part of the soaking tank 1 through the circulating pipe 14. A circulating water pump 15 and a valve 16 are fixedly connected to the circulating pipe 14.

[0026] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: the soaking liquid enters the circulating water tank 3 through the outlet pipe 11, the valve 16 is opened and the circulating water pump 15 is started at the same time, so that the soaking liquid enters the upper part of the soaking tank 1 from the circulating pipe 14, thereby realizing the circulation of the soaking liquid.

[0027] In order to promote the full flow of the soaking solution in the soaking tank 1 and improve the soaking and germination effect, an annular water spray pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the soaking tank 1 by a connecting ring. Several downward-sloping water spray heads 18 are fixedly connected to the annular water spray pipe 17 at intervals. The circulation pipe 14 is connected to the annular water spray pipe 17.

[0028] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: the soaking solution enters the annular spray pipe 17 from the circulation pipe 14 and is sprayed out from the spray head 18 to drive the soaking solution in the soaking tank 1 to flow.

[0029] To facilitate the connection between the material container 6 and the limiting rod 5, limiting plates 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the material container 6. Limiting holes matching the limiting rod 5 are opened on the limiting plates 7. The limiting plates 7 and the limiting rod 5 are slidably connected. Limiting holes are opened on both sides of the end cover 10. The end cover 10 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 5. In order to ensure that the end cover 10 and the material container 6, and the upper and lower material containers 6 can be pressed and sealed to prevent the seeds from falling out, a clamping nut is threadedly connected to the upper end of the limiting rod 5.

[0030] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: Align the limiting holes on the limiting plates 7 on both sides of the material container 6 with the limiting rods 5 and insert them. Place the material containers 6 together in sequence. Then align the limiting holes on both sides of the end cover 10 with the limiting rods 5 and insert them. Thread the clamping nut to the limiting rods 5 to press the end cover 10 tight.

[0031] To further improve the flow of the soaking solution in the soaking tank 1 and enhance the soaking effect, a connecting lug 20 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the limiting plate 7, and a baffle 19 is bolted to the connecting lug 20. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the baffle 19 is designed as a detachable structure, which allows for easy addition and removal of the baffle 19 according to the turbulence situation and requirements.

[0032] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: During the rotation of the material box 6, the baffles 19 on both sides are rotated to stir the soaking solution in the soaking tank 1.

[0033] In order to support the rotating disk 4 and improve the stability and firmness of the device operation, annular grooves are provided at the bottom of the seed soaking tank 1 and the bottom of the rotating disk 4, and support balls 9 are rolled and embedded in the annular grooves.

[0034] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: during the process of the drive motor 8 driving the rotating disk 4 to rotate, the support ball 9 supports the rotating disk 4 and rolls in the annular groove.

[0035] To prevent the soaking solution temperature from dropping and thus worsening the soaking effect, and to facilitate heating of the soaking solution, a heating plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circulating water tank 3, and a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to one side. It should be noted that a controller is also provided, and the temperature sensor is connected to the controller for communication. The heating plate 13 is controlled by the controller.

[0036] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: the controller sets the upper and lower temperature limits, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the soaking solution in the circulating water tank 3 in real time, when the temperature of the soaking solution reaches the lower limit, the heating plate 13 is controlled to run to heat the soaking solution, and when the temperature of the soaking solution reaches the upper limit, the heating plate 13 is controlled to stop running.

[0037] To prevent impurities from entering the circulating water tank 3 and causing the circulating water pump 15 to become clogged, a filter screen 12 is installed on the water outlet.

[0038] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: During the seed soaking solution circulation process, the filter screen 12 plays a filtering role on the seed soaking solution.

[0039] To improve the stability of the device, a support leg 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circulating water tank 3.

[0040] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0041] When soaking and germinating sunflower seeds, the seeds are placed in the container 6, and the container 6 is placed on the rotating plate 4. Soaking solution is poured into the soaking tank 1 to cover the container 6. The drive motor 8 is started and runs. The drive motor 8 drives the container 6 to rotate. With the help of the baffle 19, the soaking solution flows. At the same time, the circulating water pump 15 pumps the soaking solution from the circulating water tank 3 to the circulating pipe 14 and sprays it out from the annular spray pipe 17 in the soaking tank 1. This can further promote the flow of the soaking solution and improve the effect of seed soaking.
