Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crested wheatgrass planting technology, specifically a wild crested wheatgrass seed germination protection device. Background Technology
[0002] Winged wheatgrass is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus *Elymus* of the Poaceae family. It possesses excellent characteristics such as cold resistance, drought resistance, and salt tolerance, making it not only an important high-quality forage grass in the high-altitude and cold regions of Northwest my country and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but also playing a crucial role in ecological restoration, sand stabilization, and slope protection. The seed germination process of *Elymus sibiricum* is extremely sensitive to environmental conditions, with soil moisture being a key factor affecting its germination rate and seedling survival rate.
[0003] In the traditional process of wild *Leymus chinensis* seed germination, soil moisture control usually relies on the operator's experience and judgment, such as rough assessment by observing soil color and texture, making precise control of soil moisture difficult. This experience-based moisture control method may lead to problems such as seed mold or delayed germination due to improper moisture control, resulting in large fluctuations in seed germination rates and severely restricting the large-scale and industrialized development of *Leymus chinensis* artificial cultivation. In order to precisely control soil moisture, improve the germination rate of *Leymus chinensis* seeds, and promote the large-scale and industrialized process of its artificial cultivation, we propose a wild *Leymus chinensis* seed germination protection device.

[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a wild crested wheatgrass seed germination protection device, including a water tank 1, an installation box 2 fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 1, a box door 3 provided on the installation box 2, an installation frame 12 slidably installed on the inner wall of the installation box 2, a number of germination boxes 18 slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation frame 12, a number of baffles 20 fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation frame 12, the bottom of the germination box 18 abutting against the top of the baffles 20, a partition plate 21 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the germination box 18, the partition plate 21 dividing the inner cavity of the germination box 18 into a planting area 23 and a water receiving area 24, nutrient soil is laid in the planting area 23, a humidity sensor is provided in the planting area 23, a number of drainage holes 19 connected to the planting area 23 are opened on the germination box 18, a number of connecting holes 22 are opened on the partition plate 21, a number of installation pipes 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation box 2, the installation pipes 11 are matched with the water receiving area 24, and a number of drip holes 17 are opened at the bottom of the installation pipes 11.
[0022] The mounting box 2 is equipped with several sets of connecting pipes 9 corresponding to the mounting pipe 11. The connecting pipes 9 are fixedly connected to the mounting pipe 11. The side wall of the mounting box 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting box 7. The end of the connecting pipe 9 away from the mounting pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting box 7. The side wall of the water tank 1 is fixedly equipped with a liquid pump 4. The liquid pump 4's suction port is fixedly connected to a suction pipe 5. The end of the suction pipe 5 away from the liquid pump 4 is fixedly connected to the water tank 1. The liquid pump 4's discharge port is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 6. The end of the discharge pipe 6 away from the liquid pump 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting box 7.
[0023] In use, the seeds of *Elymus sibiricum* are buried in the nutrient soil in planting area 23. A humidity sensor monitors the soil moisture in real time. If the moisture is low, the sensor sends a signal to the controller, activating the liquid pump 4. Water from water tank 1 is transported to installation pipe 11 via suction pipe 5, drain pipe 6, connecting box 7, and connecting pipe 9. The water then drips from drip hole 17 into water receiving area 24 and permeates into the nutrient soil in planting area 23 through connecting hole 22, increasing soil moisture. This watering method avoids direct impact of water droplets on the soil, preventing seeds from being washed away. After germination, the box door 3 can be opened to remove the installation frame 12 for easy transplanting. Once the moisture reaches a suitable range, the liquid pump 4 is shut off. If the moisture is too high, excess water can be drained through drainage hole 19 to prevent seed mold. This allows for precise control of soil moisture, improving the germination rate of *Elymus sibiricum* seeds and promoting the large-scale and industrialized cultivation of this plant.
[0024] Each connecting pipe 9 is equipped with a solenoid valve 8, which is electrically connected to the controller.
[0025] By controlling the solenoid valve 8, the humidity of the nutrient soil in each planting area 23 can be individually adjusted according to the actual soil moisture and seed germination status, further ensuring the seed germination rate.
[0026] A filter plate 13 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the mounting box 2, and a conical cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 1, with the outer wall of the conical cylinder 14 abutting against the inner wall of the mounting box 2.
[0027] Excess water in planting area 23 flows out through drainage hole 19 and drips onto filter plate 13. The water filtered by filter plate 13 returns to water tank 1 through cone 14, thus avoiding waste of resources.
[0028] A heating plate 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity of the mounting box 2, and a temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the mounting box 2.
[0029] The temperature can be adjusted by the combination of the heating plate 16 and the temperature sensor to ensure that the temperature in the installation box 2 is suitable for the germination of crested wheatgrass seeds.
[0030] The installation box 2 has ventilation holes 10 for ventilation and to ensure sufficient oxygen in the installation box 2; the water tank 1 is fixedly connected to a water inlet 15, and the water inlet 15 is equipped with a protective cover. It is used to fill the water tank 1 with water.
[0031] Working principle: During use, the seeds of *Leymus chinensis* are buried in the nutrient soil of planting area 23. The humidity sensor monitors the humidity of the nutrient soil in real time. If the humidity is low, it transmits a signal to the controller, which controls the start of the liquid pump 4. Water from water tank 1 is transported to installation pipe 11 through suction pipe 5, drainage pipe 6, connecting box 7, and connecting pipe 9. Water drips from drip hole 17 into water receiving area 24, and then seeps into the nutrient soil of planting area 23 through connecting hole 22 to increase humidity. This watering method avoids water droplets directly impacting the nutrient soil and prevents the seeds from being washed out. After the seeds germinate, the box door 3 can be opened to remove the installation frame 12 for subsequent transplanting. When the humidity is suitable, the liquid pump 4 is turned off. If the humidity is too high... Excess water is drained through the drain hole 19 to prevent seed mold. At the same time, the solenoid valve 8 on the connecting pipe 9 is electrically connected to the controller, which can individually adjust the humidity of the nutrient soil in each planting area 23 according to the actual situation, thereby achieving precise control of soil humidity, improving the germination rate of crested wheatgrass seeds, and promoting the large-scale and industrialized artificial planting process. Excess water in the planting area 23 flows out through the drain hole 19 and drips onto the filter plate 13. The filtered water returns to the water tank 1 through the conical cylinder 14 to avoid resource waste. In addition, the electric heating plate 16 at the top of the inner cavity of the installation box 2 works with the temperature sensor on the inner wall to adjust the temperature and ensure that the temperature inside the installation box 2 is suitable for crested wheatgrass seed germination.
