Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Moringa seed germination technology, and in particular to a seed germination device for Moringa planting. Background Technology

[0002] Moringa, a tropical cash crop rich in protein and nutrients, has seen a continuous increase in demand in recent years due to the widespread use of its leaves, fruits, and seeds in food, medicine, and feed. However, moringa seeds generally suffer from low germination rates and long germination cycles, mainly due to factors such as hard seed coats, poor water permeability of the seed coat, and the influence of endogenous inhibitory substances. Efficient seed germination technology is a key link in improving moringa planting efficiency and shortening the seedling cycle.

[0003] However, existing methods for germinating Moringa seeds have several problems: First, it is difficult to accurately maintain a constant temperature of 25-30℃ and a constant humidity of 70%-85% required for seed germination. Temperature fluctuations can easily lead to seed dormancy or scorching, while uneven humidity can cause mold or dehydration. Second, there is a lack of effective management mechanisms for adjusting the daily light exposure to 8-12 hours during the germination period and for dynamic light regulation during the seedling stage, which can easily cause seedling etiolation. Third, excess wastewater during seed germination cannot be effectively discharged and collected, requiring frequent manual treatment. Fourth, parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light need to be manually monitored and adjusted in real time, resulting in low automation. These problems make it difficult for traditional germination methods to meet the requirements for germination efficiency and quality of Moringa seeds. Therefore, a seed germination device for Moringa cultivation is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] This invention provides a seed germination device for Moringa cultivation, aiming to solve many problems existing in the traditional method of Moringa seed germination: First, it is difficult to accurately maintain the constant temperature of 25-30℃ and constant humidity of 70%-85% required for seed germination. Temperature fluctuations can easily lead to seed dormancy or scorching, and uneven humidity can cause mold or dehydration. Second, there is a lack of an effective management mechanism for adjusting the daily light exposure of 8-12 hours during the germination period and the dynamic light adjustment during the seedling stage, which can easily cause seedling etiolation. Third, excess wastewater during seed germination cannot be effectively discharged and collected, requiring frequent manual treatment. Fourth, parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light need to be manually monitored and adjusted in real time, resulting in low automation. The above problems make it difficult for traditional germination methods to meet the requirements of Moringa seed germination efficiency and germination quality.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a seed germination device for Moringa planting, including a sewage tank 1, a drainage hopper 2 connected to the top of the sewage tank 1, a germination tray 3 arranged inside the drainage hopper 2, a display controller 4 arranged on the right side of the sewage tank 1, and a closed germination mechanism 5 arranged on the top of the germination tray 3.

[0029] The closed germination mechanism 5 includes a support rod 501 welded to the right side of the sewage tank 1. An electric telescopic rod 502 is bolted to the top of the support rod 501. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 502 passes through the top of the support rod 501. The electric telescopic rod 502 is electrically connected to the display controller 4. A closed cover 503 is bolted to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 502. The closed cover 503 is located on the top of the germination tray 3. A light-emitting component 504 and a misting humidification component 505 are respectively arranged on the top side inside the closed cover 503. A temperature control component 506 is arranged on the rear side inside the closed cover 503.

[0030] In this utility model's technical solution, a wastewater tank 1, a drainage hopper 2, a germination tray 3, a display controller 4, and a closed germination mechanism 5 are set up. During use, the germination tray 3, containing planting soil and carrying Moringa seeds, is first placed in the drainage hopper 2. Because the germination tray 3 has multiple sets of partitioned carrying structures inside, seeds from different batches can be placed separately to avoid mixing. Simultaneously, excess water is easily drained from the bottom holes of the germination tray 3, maintaining uniform substrate moisture and promoting healthy seed root growth. Subsequently, the display controller 4 issues a command to control the electric telescopic rod 502 at the top of the support rod 501, causing its telescopic end to push the closed cover 503 downwards until it completely covers the germination tray 3 and the drainage hopper 2, forming a relatively closed and stable germination environment. At this time, the display controller 4, according to a pre-set program, controls the light component 504, the atomizing humidification component 505, and the temperature control component 506 inside the closed cover 503. The temperature control component 506 is activated... During the dynamic monitoring process, the temperature is kept stable at 25-30℃±1℃ to avoid dormancy or scorching of the seeds due to temperature fluctuations. Under the monitoring of the atomizing humidification component 505, it is activated when the humidity is below 70% to increase the ambient humidity, and stops humidification when the humidity is above 85%, maintaining the humidity at 70%-85% to prevent mold or dehydration of the seeds due to uneven humidity. The light component 504 is activated on a predetermined timer, automatically turning on for 8-12 hours a day to provide suitable light for the seeds and inhibit seedling etiolation. During the germination process, excess water is drained through the holes of the germination tray 3 and flows into the wastewater tank 1 through the drainage hopper 2 for automatic collection, greatly reducing the frequency of manual cleaning and avoiding seed rot caused by water accumulation. Throughout the germination process, the display controller 4 integrates and controls various parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light duration, eliminating the need for constant manual monitoring and significantly improving germination efficiency and quality, meeting the needs of large-scale Moringa cultivation for seed germination.

[0031] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 The lighting component 504 includes a timer starter 5041 disposed on the top of the enclosure 503. The timer starter 5041 is electrically connected to the display controller 4. LED supplementary lights 5042 are disposed on both sides of the top side inside the enclosure 503, and the LED supplementary lights 5042 are electrically connected to the timer starter 5041. In this embodiment, by setting the lighting component 504, the timer starter 5041 is linked to the display controller 4, automatically turning on the LED supplementary lights 5042 for 8-12 hours daily according to the program set by the display controller 4, providing the light required for Moringa seed germination and seedling stage, and inhibiting excessive growth.

[0032] For further information, please continue to refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4The atomizing humidification assembly 505 includes a diverter pipe 5051 fixedly connected to the top side inside the sealed cover 503. The top of the diverter pipe 5051 extends through the rear side of the top side inside the sealed cover 503. The bottom of the diverter pipe 5051 is connected to an atomizing nozzle 5052. A humidity sensor 5053 is provided on the rear side of the sealed cover 503. The sensing end of the humidity sensor 5053 is located inside the sealed cover 503. The humidity sensor 5053 is electrically connected to the display controller 4. A solenoid valve 5054 is connected to the top of the diverter pipe 5051. The solenoid valve 5054 is electrically connected to the display controller 4. An external water pipe 5055 is connected to the top of the solenoid valve 5054. In this embodiment, by setting up an atomizing humidification component 505, the humidity sensor 5053 monitors the humidity inside the sealed cover 503 in real time. When the humidity is below 70%, it sends feedback to the display controller 4. The display controller 4 triggers the solenoid valve 5054 to open the external water pipe 5055 according to the set program. Water flows through the diversion pipe 5051 and is evenly sprayed from the atomizing nozzle 5052 to replenish humidity. When the humidity is above 85%, it automatically stops, accurately maintaining the humidity in the range of 70%-85% to prevent Moringa seeds from becoming moldy or drying out.

[0033] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4 The temperature control component 506 includes a temperature sensor 5061 disposed on the rear side of the enclosure 503. The sensing end of the temperature sensor 5061 is located inside the enclosure 503. The temperature sensor 5061 is electrically connected to the display controller 4. A thin ceramic heating plate 5062 is embedded in the rear side of the enclosure 503. A heat-conducting aluminum plate 5063 is covered on the front side of the thin ceramic heating plate 5062 and is located on the rear side of the enclosure 503. In this embodiment, by setting the temperature control component 506, the temperature sensor 5061 monitors the temperature data inside the enclosure 503 in real time and feeds the data back to the display controller 4. Then, the display controller 4 controls the thin ceramic heating plate 5062 to work according to the set program. The heat-conducting aluminum plate 5063 dissipates heat evenly, stabilizing the temperature inside the enclosure 503 at 25-30℃±1℃, preventing Moringa seeds from becoming dormant or scorched due to temperature fluctuations.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 A level sensor 6 is installed on the left side of the sewage tank 1. The sensing end of the level sensor 6 is located inside the sewage tank 1, and the level sensor 6 is electrically connected to the display controller 4. In this embodiment, by setting the level sensor 6, the sewage level inside the sewage tank 1 is monitored in real time, and feedback is sent to the display controller 4 when the level reaches a preset height, thereby achieving the effect of reminding the tank to clean.

[0035] Additionally, please refer to Figure 2A drain valve 7 is connected to the bottom left side of the sewage tank 1, and the drain valve 7 is electrically connected to the display controller 4. In this embodiment, the drain valve 7 is set to open when it receives an opening signal from the display controller 4, thereby draining the wastewater inside the sewage tank 1.

[0036] Additionally, please refer to Figure 2 Support rods 8 are welded to the four corners of the bottom of the drainage hopper 2. The bottom of the support rods 8 contacts the top of the sewage tank 1. Rubber strips 9 are fixedly connected to the outside of the support rods 8, and the rubber strips 9 are located at the bottom of the enclosure 503. In this embodiment, by setting the support rods 8 and rubber strips 9, the support rods 8 at the four corners of the bottom of the drainage hopper 2 further reinforce the drainage hopper 2, ensuring its position is stable. The rubber strips 9 on the outside of the support rods 8 fit tightly against the bottom of the enclosure 503 when it falls, forming a sealed environment, effectively preventing moisture leakage or external dust from entering during the germination process, and ensuring the temperature and humidity stability of the enclosed space.

[0037] Additionally, please refer to Figure 3 The sealed cover 503 has heat-insulating transparent glass 10 embedded on both sides and the front, and the surface of the heat-insulating transparent glass 10 has micro heat dissipation holes 11. In this embodiment, by setting the heat-insulating transparent glass 10 and the micro heat dissipation holes 11, the heat-insulating transparent glass 10 embedded on both sides and the front of the sealed cover 503 is made of double-layer heat-insulating material, which can reduce the internal heat loss and make it easy for operators to directly observe the germination status of seeds without frequently opening the sealed cover 503 and affecting the stability of the environment. The micro heat dissipation holes 11 on the surface of the heat-insulating transparent glass 10 can automatically discharge a small amount of hot air to help balance the internal temperature of the sealed cover 503 and prevent local overheating. At the same time, the hole design also takes into account the dust prevention effect to ensure the cleanliness of the germination environment.
