[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model discloses a seed soaking and germination device for agricultural planting, including two support frames 1, a movable frame 2 fixed between the two support frames 1, a lifting assembly 3 provided on the movable frame 2, and a hanging basket assembly 4 hanging below the lifting assembly 3. The hanging basket assembly 4 has multiple layers for storing seeds, and also includes:
[0025] The soaking tank 5 is located on one side below the movable frame 2. The side of the movable frame 2 where the soaking tank 5 is located is the soaking area, and the other side is the hanging area.
[0026] The shower assembly 6 includes multiple annular pipes 61 installed sequentially inside the soaking tank 5. Multiple nozzles 62 are provided on the inner side of each annular pipe 61. The multiple annular pipes 61 are interconnected and connected to a liquid pump 63 located outside the soaking tank 5. A three-way pipe 64 is fixedly connected to the input end of the liquid pump 63.
[0027] Specifically, the soaking tank 5 contains multiple sets of annular pipes 61, with nozzles 62 evenly arranged on the inner side of each set of annular pipes, forming a ring-shaped rinsing area. Operators can adjust the mixing ratio of clean water and pesticide entering the annular pipes 61 via valves to achieve pre-rinsing with clean water, pesticide soaking, and rinsing with clean water, achieving a high degree of automation. The nozzles 62 are angled downwards, causing the rinsing liquid to cover the hanging basket assembly 4 in a fan shape. Combined with the multi-layered distribution of the annular pipes 61, this ensures that seeds at different heights are evenly rinsed, avoiding excessively high pesticide concentrations or insufficient soaking in certain areas.
[0028] In this embodiment, the hanging basket assembly 4 includes multiple hanging basket units 41. A crossbeam 43 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end face of the hanging basket unit 41. A hanging head 44 is fixedly connected to the middle of the crossbeam 43. A hook 42 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower end face of the hanging basket unit 41. The multiple hanging basket units 41 are hung from top to bottom sequentially through the hanging head 44 and the hook 42.
[0029] Specifically, the hanging basket unit 41 adopts a mesh hollow design. During soaking, the seeds are placed in the mesh sleeve and then put into the hanging basket unit. The hollow design can ensure that the soaking solution is in full contact with the seeds. The upper and lower hanging structure design can flexibly increase or decrease the number of hanging basket layers according to the seed processing volume, and can also separate the upper and lower layers of seeds to avoid the seeds being densely packed and causing insufficient soaking of the seeds inside.
[0030] In this implementation scheme, the two ends of the three-way pipe 64 are used to pass clean water and seed soaking agent respectively, and necessary valves are installed on both pipes.
[0031] Specifically, the liquid pump 63 is connected to the clean water and seed soaking agent pipelines simultaneously through the three-way pipe 64. The operator can adjust the mixing ratio of the two through the valve to realize the operation of clean water pre-rinsing, agent soaking, and clean water rinsing.
[0032] In this embodiment, the bottom of the soaking tank 5 is recessed, and a drain pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the outer end. A valve is provided at the outer end of the drain pipe 7.
[0033] Specifically, the bottom of the soaking tank 5 adopts a concave flow guide design, and the discharge of wastewater is controlled by the valve of the drain pipe 7.
[0034] In this embodiment, a stirring assembly 8 is provided at the bottom of the soaking tank 5. The stirring assembly 8 includes two mounting brackets 81 that are fixedly connected to the bottom of the soaking tank 5. An auger 82 is rotatably connected between the two mounting brackets 81. The auger 82 is driven by a motor located outside the soaking tank 5.
[0035] Specifically, the bottom of the soaking tank 5 adopts a concave flow guide design, and the auger 82 is driven by an external motor. Its low-speed rotation generates a spiral water flow, which can promote the circulation of the medicine solution and thus improve the uniformity of the soaking solution concentration.
[0036] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 3 includes a wheel frame 31, which is clamped on the outside of the movable frame 2 and slidably connected to the movable frame 2 via pulleys. The outer end of the wheel frame 31 is provided with a drive motor 32 for driving the pulleys inside the wheel frame 31. The lower end of the wheel frame 31 is fixed with a lifting motor 33, which is used to raise and lower the sling. The lower end of the sling is connected to a lifting hook 34 for attaching the hanging basket assembly 4 via a pulley system.
[0037] Specifically, the wheel frame 31 of the lifting assembly 3 is connected to the moving frame 2 via pulleys. The drive motor 32 controls the wheel frame 31 to slide laterally along the moving frame 2, and the lifting motor 33 adjusts the length of the sling through the pulley block to achieve the vertical lifting and lowering of the hanging basket assembly 4. During operation, the drive motor 32 is started to move the wheel frame 32 to the designated work position, and the lifting motor 33 lowers the sling to immerse the hanging basket 4 into the soaking tank 5. After soaking, the operation is reversed to lift the hanging basket 4, drain it, and then move it to the hanging area. The entire process requires no manual handling, reducing labor intensity.
[0038] In this embodiment, the opening size at the top of the soaking tank 5 is larger than the maximum cross-sectional size of the hanging basket assembly 4, and there is space between the hanging basket assembly 4 and the shower assembly 6 after the hanging basket assembly 4 enters the soaking tank 5.
[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the seeds in the net are placed into the hanging basket unit 41, and the corresponding number of hanging basket units 41 are hung up and down by the hanging head 44 and the hook 42 to form a multi-layer hanging basket assembly 4, and then hung on the lifting hook 34 of the lifting assembly 3.
[0040] The drive motor 32 controls the wheel frame 31 to slide laterally on the moving frame 2, accurately positioning the hanging basket assembly 4 directly above the soaking tank 5. The lifting motor 33 is then started to lower the sling, allowing the hanging basket assembly 4 to smoothly enter the soaking tank 5.
[0041] Adjust the mixing ratio of clean water and seed soaking agent through the valve of the three-way pipe 64, start the liquid pump 63, and spray the mixture in a fan shape through the nozzle 62 of the ring pipe 61 to rinse the seeds in each layer of hanging baskets. You can first use clean water to rinse and drain the waste liquid for rinsing, and then mix the agent to rinse and soak. At the same time, start the stirring component 8, and the auger 82 rotates at low speed to stir the soaking solution, promote the circulation of the solution and prevent impurities from settling, and ensure that the seeds are evenly contacted with the agent.
[0042] After soaking, the waste liquid is drained and clean water is introduced for rinsing. Then, the hanging basket assembly 4 is lifted by the lifting motor 33 to the draining area above the soaking tank 5. After draining, it is moved to the hanging area.
