Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Crop farming is a major component of agriculture. It is a social production sector that utilizes the life functions of plants to obtain food, by-products, feed, and industrial raw materials through artificial cultivation. It includes the cultivation of various crops, trees, fruit trees, medicinal plants, and ornamental plants.

[0003] Seeds are the reproductive bodies unique to gymnosperms and angiosperms. They are formed from ovules through pollination and fertilization. In agricultural production, in order to improve the germination rate and seedling rate, seeds are pre-germinated before planting. After the seeds germinate and form seedlings, they are transplanted.

[0004] In existing technologies, seed germination requires watering or nutrient spraying. Currently, seed germination incubation boxes typically have multiple germination holes with sprinklers near each hole for watering or nutrient spraying. However, excessive moisture in the holes leads to wastewater accumulation, which can breed bacteria and negatively impact germination. Furthermore, poor ventilation in most incubation devices causes moisture to accumulate around the seeds, resulting in overly wet seed surfaces. High humidity increases the risk of mold, rot, and other diseases, thus reducing germination rate and overall health. Therefore, we urgently need a seed germination incubation device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of wastewater accumulation and poor ventilation in the existing cultivation pits, and to propose a seed germination and cultivation device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A seed germination cultivation device includes a cultivation box and an end cover hinged to the cultivation box. It further includes: a fixed plate and a water collection tray slidably connected inside the cultivation box; the water collection tray is located below the fixed plate; multiple sets of placement slots are arranged in a rectangular array on the fixed plate; cultivation trays are placed in the placement slots; a drain valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of each placement slot; and a drain hole is provided at the bottom of each cultivation tray. When the drain valve is activated, water accumulated in the placement slots is drained into the water collection tray. Multiple sets of water pipes are fixedly installed on the cultivation box, with the water pipes located at the center line of the cultivation trays. Multiple sets of nozzles are fixedly connected to the water pipes. Ventilation sections are symmetrically arranged within the cultivation box.

[0008] To improve ventilation in the incubator, preferably, the ventilation section includes symmetrically arranged ventilation openings on the incubator, at least two sets of fans are fixedly connected in the ventilation openings, a filter screen is fixedly connected in the ventilation openings and at the air inlet of the fans, and louvers for controlling air volume are fixedly installed on the incubator corresponding to the positions of the ventilation openings.

[0009] To better guide the airflow path, a guide vane is further fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator and at the air outlet of the fan.

[0010] To facilitate the loading of the cultivation trays and the treatment of wastewater, preferably, the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the cultivation box are provided with sliding grooves. When the fixed plate and the water collection plate slide in the sliding grooves, the sealing gaskets at the ends of the fixed plate and the water collection plate abut against the inner wall of the sliding groove to form a sealing area.

[0011] For ease of operation, handles are further fixedly connected to both the fixed plate and the water collection plate.

[0012] In order to water or fertilize the seeds in the cultivation tray, preferably, a water tank for storing water is fixedly connected to the cultivation box, and the end of the water pipe extends outward and is connected to the water pump in the water tank. When the water pump is working, water is sprayed out from the nozzle on the water pipe.

[0013] To simulate the light required for seed germination, preferably, an LED plant growth lamp for providing light is fixedly connected to the end cap.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a seed germination and cultivation device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This seed germination and cultivation device, through a pull-out cultivation tray and a matching water collection tray, allows the operator to pull out the fixed tray by pulling the handle, place the cultivation tray containing seeds into the corresponding placement slot, and then push the fixed tray inward to complete the placement of the cultivation tray. When there is too much water and nutrients in the cultivation tray, it will drain downward into the placement slot through the drain hole. The drain valve will open at certain intervals to drain the water accumulated in the placement slot. The drained wastewater enters the water collection tray, which the operator can then pull out to clean the wastewater. This effectively reduces the accumulation of wastewater in the cultivation tray, reduces bacterial growth, improves the environmental quality for seed germination, and increases the seed germination rate.

[0016] 2. This seed germination cultivation device features a nozzle setup and a water inlet on the side of the water tank for connecting to an external water supply unit. Each cultivation tray has a nozzle above it, and a water pump supplies water to the nozzles from the water tank. This independent water supply avoids cross-contamination of water and nutrients, providing a suitable environment for seed germination and significantly improving the germination rate and quality.

[0017] 3. This seed germination and cultivation device, through the arrangement of a fan, air vents, and louvers, allows the fan to introduce fresh outside air into the cultivation box. Simultaneously, the air vents work together to ensure the airflow is closer to the top of the cultivation trays, thereby expelling stale air and achieving air circulation. The filter screen removes dust and impurities from the air, ensuring clean air entering the cultivation box and preventing adverse effects on seed germination. Louvers are also installed at the ventilation openings; adjusting the opening angle of the louvers controls the ventilation volume, thus improving the ventilation effect within the cultivation box, preventing moisture accumulation around the seeds, and improving the germination rate and seed health.

[0018] The parts of this device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This invention effectively improves the germination rate and health status of seeds and avoids bacterial infection caused by the accumulation of wastewater in the cultivation tray.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 A seed germination and cultivation device includes a cultivation box 1. It should be noted that the cultivation box 1 is also equipped with sensors for controlling temperature and humidity. A temperature controller is located outside the box, connected to the temperature sensors via wires, and can receive temperature information transmitted by the sensors. The temperature controller is also connected to a heating device and a cooling device. The heating device uses heating wires embedded in the inner wall of the cultivation box 1. The cooling device uses a small refrigeration compressor, whose air outlet is connected to a corresponding air inlet on the cultivation box 1. This air inlet can be located at any position on the cultivation box 1. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the box is lower than a set value, the temperature controller controls the heating device to start, heating the inside of the box; when the temperature is higher than the set value, the temperature controller controls the cooling device to start, lowering the temperature inside the box, thereby achieving precise temperature control inside the box.

[0027] An end cover 2 is hinged to the cultivation box 1, and an LED plant growth light 19 for providing light is fixedly connected to the end cover 2. Here, the end cover 2 of the cultivation box 1 is set for visualization, which makes it easy for operators to observe the seeds. The LED plant growth light 19 can provide sufficient and uniform light for seed germination. The LED plant growth light 19 is connected to a light controller, which is installed outside the box. By adjusting the light controller, the light intensity and light duration of the LED plant growth light 19 can be controlled to meet the light requirements of different types of seeds for germination.

[0028] It also includes: a fixed plate 3 and a water collection plate 4 slidably connected inside the incubator 1. The water collection plate 4 is located below the fixed plate 3. Sliding grooves 16 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the incubator 1. When the fixed plate 3 and the water collection plate 4 slide in the sliding grooves 16, the sealing gaskets at the ends of the fixed plate 3 and the water collection plate 4 abut against the inner wall of the sliding grooves 16 to form a sealing area. Handles 17 are fixedly connected to both the fixed plate 3 and the water collection plate 4. Multiple sets of placement slots 5 are provided in a rectangular array on the fixed plate 3. Incubator plates 6 are placed in the placement slots 5. A drain valve 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement slots 5. A drain hole 8 is provided at the bottom of the incubator plates 6. When the drain valve 7 is working, the water accumulated in the placement slots 5 is discharged into the water collection plate 4, thereby reducing the accumulation of wastewater in the incubator plates 6 and the placement slots 5 and preventing the growth of bacteria.

[0029] Here, the operator can pull the handle 17 on the fixed plate 3 to pull out the fixed plate 3, place the seed-containing cultivation tray 6 into the corresponding placement slot 5, and then push the fixed plate 3 inward to complete the placement of the cultivation tray 6. When there is too much water and nutrients in the cultivation tray 6, it will be discharged downward into the placement slot 5 through the drain hole 8. The drain valve 7 will open after a certain period of time to drain the water accumulated in the placement slot 5. The discharged wastewater enters the water collection tray 4. The operator can pull out the water collection tray 4 to clean the wastewater, thereby effectively reducing the accumulation of wastewater in the cultivation tray 6, reducing the growth of bacteria, improving the environmental quality for seed germination, and increasing the seed germination rate.

[0030] Multiple sets of water pipes 9 are fixedly installed on the cultivation box 1. The water pipes 9 are located at the center line of the cultivation tray 6. Multiple sets of nozzles 10 are fixedly connected to the water pipes 9. A water tank 18 for storing water is fixedly connected to the cultivation box 1. It should be noted that nutrients required for seed germination can also be added to the water tank 18. The end of the water pipe 9 extends outward and is connected to the water pump in the water tank 18. When the water pump works, water is discharged from the nozzles 10 on the water pipe 9. Here, a water inlet is provided on the side of the water tank 18 for connecting to an external water supply unit. Each cultivation tray 6 is provided with a nozzle 10 above it. The water tank 18 supplies water to the nozzles 10 through the water pump. The water pump delivers water from the water tank 18 to the nozzles 10 above each cultivation tray 6. It should be noted that the nozzles 10 can be of the type with an internal flow control valve, which can achieve precise control of the water supply to the seeds in the culture dish, avoid cross-contamination of water and nutrients, provide a suitable environment for seed germination, and greatly improve the germination rate and germination quality of the seeds.

[0031] A ventilation section is symmetrically arranged in the incubator 1. The ventilation section includes vents 11 symmetrically opened on the incubator 1. At least two sets of fans 12 are fixedly connected inside the vents 11. A filter screen 13 is fixedly connected inside the vents 11 and at the air inlet of the fan 12. A louver 14 for controlling the air volume is fixedly installed on the incubator 1 at the position corresponding to the vents 11. A wind deflector 15 for guiding air is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator 1 at the air outlet of the fan 12. Here, the fan 12 can introduce fresh air from the outside into the incubator 1, and at the same time, cooperate with the wind deflector. 15 allows the airflow to better approach the top of the cultivation tray 6, thereby expelling the polluted air in the cultivation box 1 and achieving air circulation. The filter screen 13 can filter dust and impurities in the air, ensuring that the air entering the cultivation box 1 is clean and avoiding adverse effects on seed germination. The ventilation opening 11 is also equipped with a louver 14. By adjusting the opening angle of the louver 14, the ventilation volume can be controlled, thereby improving the ventilation effect in the cultivation box 1, preventing moisture in the environment from accumulating around the seeds, and improving the germination rate and health of the seeds.

[0032] In this invention, the operator can pull the handle 17 on the fixed plate 3 to pull it out, place the seed-containing cultivation tray 6 into the corresponding placement slot 5, and then push the fixed plate 3 inward to complete the placement of the cultivation tray 6. At this time, the end cap 2 abuts against the cultivation box 1 to form a sealed space. The temperature and humidity sensor in the cultivation box 1 is used to detect the internal temperature and humidity, which is then controlled by the external temperature and humidity controller. The LED plant growth light 19 is turned on and can be adjusted in real time to provide the necessary light for seed germination. When the humidity inside the cultivation box 1 is high, the two fans 12 work together to increase the humidity. A flow channel is formed in the incubator 1. It should be noted that one fan 12 is for air intake into the incubator 1, and the other fan 12 is for air exhaust from the incubator 1. When the air enters the air plate 15, it can change the air flow path, making it closer to the top of the incubator tray 6, thereby improving the ventilation effect at the position of the incubator tray 6. When it is necessary to water the incubator tray 6, the water pump in the water tank 18 starts and drives the water to be discharged through the corresponding nozzle 10 to supply water to the incubator tray 6. The corresponding water is discharged downward through the drain hole 8 and discharged into the water collection tray 4 by the intermittently opened drain valve 7. At this time, the operator only needs to remove the water collection tray 4 to realize the treatment of wastewater.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
