[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this utility model provides a soaking device for Saussurea costus seeds used in the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials. The device includes a soaking tank 1 and a cover plate 2. The upper part of the soaking tank 1 has an annular hole 7. An annular plate 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cover plate 2. An adjusting component 6 is provided on the cover plate 2. Two limiting components 5 are provided on the outside of the soaking tank 1. Multiple positioning holes 4 are provided on the outer wall of the cover plate 2. A handle 3 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the cover plate 2. After the Saussurea costus seeds and water are poured into the soaking tank 1, the cover plate 2 is inserted into the annular hole 7 through the annular plate 8. The limiting components 5 limit the cover plate 2, improving its installation stability and preventing external impurities from falling off during prolonged seed soaking, thus ensuring the soaking protection effect. With the adjustment component 6, the seeds can be pushed into the water for soaking, making the soaking more thorough and preventing the Saussurea costus seeds from floating to the surface and affecting the soaking effect. The depth of the seeds can also be adjusted according to the water depth, improving flexibility.
[0025] The adjusting assembly 6 includes a limiting plate 61 fixedly installed on the upper part of the cover plate 2. A sliding plate 62 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 61. Extension plates 63 are fixedly installed on both sides of the sliding plate 62. The extension plates 63 are slidably connected to the cover plate 2. A stop plate 64 is installed at the bottom of the two extension plates 63. Multiple drainage holes 65 are opened on the stop plate 64. A threaded rod 66 is rotatably connected between the cover plate 2 and the limiting plate 61. The threaded rod 66 is threadedly connected to the sliding plate 62. A drive motor 67 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the limiting plate 61. The output shaft of the drive motor 67 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 66. The drive motor 67 drives the threaded rod 66 to rotate, causing the sliding plate 62 to slide down the limiting plate 61. The extension plates 63 drive the stop plate 64 to move down, so that the seeds do not float on the water surface and are immersed in the water. After soaking, the reverse operation is performed to adjust the stop plate 64 into the cover plate 2 for disassembly and material removal.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the diameter of the abutment 64 matches the inner diameter of the soaking tank 1, facilitating the pushing of seeds inside the soaking tank 1 into the water for soaking.
[0027] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting component 5 includes a hollow plate 51 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the soaking tank 1. A slider 52 is slidably connected inside the hollow plate 51. Two through plates 53 are fixedly installed on one side of the slider 52. The through plates 53 are slidably connected to the hollow plate 51. An installation plate 54 is installed at the ends of the two through plates 53. A connecting plate 56 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the installation plate 54. A positioning rod 57 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 56. A handle 55 is installed on the installation plate 54. A spring 58 is connected between the hollow plate 51 and the slider 52. Pulling the handle 55 causes the installation plate 54 to slide along with the through plates 53 and the slider 52 inside the hollow plate 51. As the spring 58 is compressed, the handle 55 drives the positioning rod 57 to move. Then, the cover plate 2 is inserted into the annular hole 7 through the annular plate 8. Then, the positioning rod 57 is inserted into the positioning hole 4 by the reset of the spring 58, thus limiting the cover plate 2.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the size of the positioning rod 57 slides within the positioning hole 4; this facilitates positioning.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the dimensions of the annular plate 8 match the inner dimensions of the annular hole 7, facilitating the guiding installation of the cover plate 2.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the soaking tank 1 is a transparent structure for easy observation.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
