Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili breeding technology, specifically to a chili breeding germination box. Background Technology

[0002] In chili pepper breeding, the germination rate and uniformity of seeds directly affect the seedling emergence results, and seed soaking is an important pre-germination treatment step. Traditional chili pepper germination boxes typically use water tanks for soaking to ensure seeds fully absorb water and promote germination. However, because chili pepper seeds are relatively light and have uneven surfaces, most seeds float on the surface when poured into the water tank, making it difficult to wet them evenly and affecting the soaking effect.

[0003] To solve the above problems, existing technologies usually add a stirring device to the germination box to make the chili seeds sink to the bottom quickly and prevent them from clumping together.

[0004] However, in practical applications, the stirring force of the soaking medium causes the liquid surface to fluctuate, making it difficult for some chili seeds to adhere to the inner wall of the tank and fully contact the water. As a result, the operator needs to manually scrape the tank wall to release these chili seeds into the soaking medium, which makes the operation process inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a chili breeding germination box to solve the technical problem of inconvenient operation caused by manually scraping the box wall in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model specifically provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A chili pepper breeding germination box includes a cylindrical soaking box. A scraper is provided inside the cylindrical soaking box. The circumferential side of the scraper is fitted against the inner wall of the cylindrical soaking box. A control lever is coaxially fixedly connected to the scraper. The control lever drives the scraper to slide along the axial direction of the cylindrical soaking box to scrape the material from the inner wall of the cylindrical soaking box.

[0008] The control lever has a rotating shaft that rotates coaxially inside. The rotating shaft can also slide along the axis of the control lever. The bottom end of the rotating shaft passes through the control lever and is fixedly connected to a scraper. The scraper is located below the scraper plate. The rotating shaft drives the scraper to rotate below the scraper plate to stir the chili seeds. The rotating shaft also drives the scraper to rotate against the bottom surface of the scraper plate to scrape the material from the bottom surface of the scraper plate.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom surface of the scraper is provided with a linear groove, which is opened along the radial direction of the scraper.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the scraper is convex upward at its center and is shaped like a frustum.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate is coaxially provided on the top of the scraper, the top of the inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate is provided with an opening, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the top of the scraper, the diameter of the top opening of the inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate is smaller than the diameter of the bottom surface of the scraper.

[0012] A vertical groove is provided on the outer wall of the control lever. The top end of the vertical groove is located inside the inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate. The bottom end of the vertical groove is connected to the linear groove. A flow-guiding groove is provided on the inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate. The outlet end of the flow-guiding groove is connected to the vertical groove.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating shaft is provided with a positioning mark for displaying the rotation position of the scraper.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] This invention utilizes a rotating scraper inside the tank to agitate the chili seeds, ensuring they are fully soaked and sink to the bottom. Simultaneously, the scraper slides along the periphery of the cylindrical soaking tank, scraping off chili seeds adhering to the inner walls, eliminating the inconvenience of manual scraping. The scraper can also rotate along the bottom surface of the scraper to remove seeds adhering there. Furthermore, an inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate is installed at the top of the scraper. Water enters this plate as the scraper descends, and when it rises, the water flows from the drainage groove and vertical groove into the scraper located within the linear groove, flushing the chili seeds off the scraper and ensuring a more thorough and complete sinking process.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model discloses a chili pepper breeding germination box, including a cylindrical soaking box 1, which is filled with soaking solution, which can be water. A scraper 2 is provided inside the cylindrical soaking box 1. The circumferential side of the scraper 2 is fitted to the inner wall of the cylindrical soaking box 1. A control lever 3 is coaxially fixedly connected to the scraper 2. The other end of the control lever 3 is located on the outside. The operator pulls the control lever 3 to drive the scraper 2 to slide along the axial direction of the cylindrical soaking box 1 to scrape the material from the inner wall of the cylindrical soaking box 1.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, after the scraper 2 finishes scraping the material and is lifted above the liquid surface, some chili seeds may adhere to the bottom surface of the scraper 2. Therefore, a rotating shaft 4 is coaxially mounted inside the control lever 3. A limiter is provided at the top of the rotating shaft 4 to prevent the rotating shaft 4 from dislodging from the control lever 3. The rotating shaft 4 can also slide along the axis of the control lever 3. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 4 passes through the control lever 3 and is fixedly connected to a scraper 5. The scraper 5 is located below the scraper 2. The rotating shaft 4 drives the scraper 5 to rotate below the scraper 2 to stir the chili seeds. The rotating shaft 4 also drives the scraper 5 to rotate against the bottom surface of the scraper 2 to scrape the material from the bottom surface of the scraper 2. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 drives the scraper 5 to rotate. The rotation of the scraper 5 stirs and disperses the chili seeds in the box to prevent them from clumping and affecting the soaking and germination effect. On the other hand, the upward movement of the rotating shaft 4 causes the scraper 5 to be positioned against the bottom surface of the scraper 2. At this time, rotating the rotating shaft 4 again drives the scraper 5 to rotate, which can scrape off the chili seeds adhering to the bottom surface of the scraper 2.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, to further improve the scraping effect on the bottom surface of the scraper 2 and prevent the scraper 5 from pushing the chili seeds on the bottom surface of the scraper 2 without them falling, a linear groove 6 is provided on the bottom surface of the scraper 2. The linear groove 6 is provided along the radial direction of the scraper 2. When the scraper 5 moves the chili seeds to the position of the linear groove 6, the chili seeds can no longer slide and thus fall at the linear groove 6.

[0029] Setting the scraper 2 with its center raised in a frustum shape allows the bottom surface of the scraper 2 to be tilted. This allows the weight of the chili seeds to accelerate their fall from the bottom surface of the scraper 2 when the scraper 5 scrapes the material, thus improving the scraping effect.

[0030] After the scraper 5 scrapes the material from the scraper 2, some chili seeds may stick to the side of the scraper 5. In actual use, the scraper 5 can be set to contact the bottom surface of the scraper 2 to reduce the possibility of chili seeds sticking. Furthermore, in order to remove the chili seeds sticking to the scraper 5, this utility model has an inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate 7 coaxially arranged on the top of the scraper 2. The inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate 7 has a larger opening at the top and a smaller opening at the bottom. The top of the inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate 7 has an opening, and the bottom is fixedly connected to the top of the scraper 2. The diameter of the opening at the top of the inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate 7 is smaller than the diameter of the bottom surface of the scraper 2.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, a vertical groove 8 is provided on the outer wall of the control lever 3. The top end of the vertical groove 8 is located in the inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate 7. The bottom end of the vertical groove 8 is connected to the linear groove 6. A diversion groove 9 is provided on the inverted frustum-shaped water collection plate 7. The outlet end of the diversion groove 9 is connected to the vertical groove 8.

[0032] When the control lever 3 lowers the scraper 2, it scrapes the material from the tank wall, causing the scraper 2 to fall further until the top opening of the inverted frustum-shaped water collection tray 7 is below the liquid surface. At this point, water will accumulate in the inverted frustum-shaped water collection tray 7. Because the scraper 2 is set against the inner wall of the tank, chili seeds will not fall into the inverted frustum-shaped water collection tray 7. Then, the control lever 3 is raised so that the bottom surface of the scraper 2 is above the liquid surface. At this time, the scraper 5 is quickly rotated to scrape the bottom surface of the scraper 2. After scraping, the scraper 5 is positioned in the linear groove 6 or to one side. At this time, the water inside the inverted frustum-shaped water collection tray 7 will flow through the drainage groove 9 and the vertical groove 8 to the scraper 5. Because the scraper 5 is tilted, the water will flow over the entire scraper 5, thereby washing away the chili seeds adhering to the scraper 5, or causing the chili seeds to fall off. This reduces the probability of chili seeds adhering to the overall structure and achieves higher efficiency in seed sinking and wetting.

[0033] Regarding the positioning operation of the scraper 5 in the linear groove 6 after rotation, there are various implementation methods in the prior art. For example, a locking ball structure is set in the control lever 3 to position the scraper 5 in the linear groove 6 or on one side of the linear groove 6. This embodiment provides a specific implementation method in which a positioning mark 10 for indicating the rotation position of the scraper 5 is set on the rotating shaft 4. The positioning mark 10 may include a first positioning mark set on the rotating shaft 4 and a second positioning mark set on the control lever 3. When the first positioning mark and the second positioning mark are aligned, the scraper 5 is set in the preset position so that water can flow into the scraper 5.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The scope of protection of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
