Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically a wheat seed soaking and germination tray. Background Technology
[0002] In wheat cultivation, soaking and germination can effectively save time for field temperature accumulation, improve emergence rate and uniformity, enhance the stress resistance and yield stability of wheat plants, and reduce seed consumption to some extent.
[0003] Currently, conventional wheat seed soaking and germination are carried out in buckets or basins. The seeds are soaked in water with added chemicals to sterilize them and reduce disease incidence, while also allowing them to absorb water and swell. After soaking and absorbing water, the seeds are taken out and manually spread out for the subsequent temperature- and humidity-controlled germination stage. The entire soaking and germination process requires turning the seeds at least twice. After soaking and absorbing water, the seed coat at the embryo position softens to a certain extent. During the soaking, removal, and spreading of the seeds, the embryo position is easily damaged, affecting the germination rate and seed health. Moreover, after soaking and absorbing water, the volume and weight of the seeds increase, which greatly increases the workload of manually spreading the seeds.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a convenient wheat seed soaking and germination tray. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wheat seed soaking and germination tray to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A wheat seed soaking and germination tray includes a soaking tray, a tray, and a lid; the inner side of the soaking tray near the top has an integrally formed support for supporting the tray, and one end of the soaking tray is provided with a water inlet and a drain hole, with a sealing plug inside the drain hole.
[0008] The tray is located inside the seed soaking tray, and the bottom of the tray has evenly distributed drainage holes. The bottom of the tray is also covered with a layer of wet burlap, and the bottom of the wet burlap has several absorbent cotton strips evenly distributed. The ends of the absorbent cotton strips extend into the seed soaking tray through the drainage holes at the bottom of the tray.
[0009] The lid is fastened onto the top of the tray.
[0010] Furthermore, the soaking tray adopts a flat-bottomed square tray design, and the length of the soaking tray is 100-120 cm, the width is 70-80 cm, the height is 6-8 cm, and the bottom of the soaking tray is integrally formed with several horizontal and vertical reinforcing ribs.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer edge of the tray is folded outwards to form a hanging edge that matches the tray platform. The bottom of the tray is 2-3 cm away from the bottom of the soaking tray. Both ends of the tray are integrally formed with handles.
[0012] Furthermore, the side of the soaking tray is also provided with an observation window for observing the liquid level.
[0013] Furthermore, each of the four corners of the bottom of the soaking tray has an integrally formed insertion hole, and a support column is inserted into each insertion hole.
[0014] Furthermore, several of the absorbent cotton strips are arranged in a rectangular array at the bottom of the wet burlap sack, with a spacing of 6-8 cm between adjacent absorbent cotton strips.
[0015] Furthermore, the lid is made entirely of transparent plastic, and the edge of the lid is a horizontal rim. The size of the rim is adapted to the size of the support platform inside the soaking tray. The lid body is horizontally designed, and the rim and the lid body are connected by a sloping transition. Ventilation holes are evenly provided on the transition surfaces between the lid body and the rim on both sides of the lid body.
[0016] Furthermore, each of the four corners of the cover edge has a positioning groove integrally formed corresponding to the insertion hole position at the bottom of the soaking tray.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] This utility model features a square tray design with a perforated tray and a water-absorbing and moisturizing structure, along with a transparent lid. This allows the seeds to remain stable throughout the entire wheat soaking process, from soaking, moisturizing, heat preservation, and germination, without needing to be moved. The seeds remain stable from the initial spreading state, effectively preventing damage to the seed embryo and ensuring a high germination and seedling emergence rate. Furthermore, the use of a shallow square tray for soaking the seeds makes it easy to control the seed spreading thickness, resulting in more even drug adhesion during the soaking process. This effectively enhances the seed sterilization effect and reduces the incidence of disease after seedling emergence. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following illustrations will reveal several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.
[0027] Example:
[0028] Traditional wheat seed soaking and germination processes suffer from limitations in the soaking tools used, requiring seeds to be turned several times, which can easily damage the seed embryo. Furthermore, the soaking process is labor-intensive and results in uneven drug penetration. Therefore, we propose a user-friendly wheat seed soaking and germination tray, as detailed below:
[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a wheat seed soaking and germination tray, including a soaking tray 1, a tray 2, and a lid 4. The soaking tray 1 adopts a flat-bottomed square tray design, and the length of the soaking tray 1 is 100-120 cm, the width is 70-80 cm, and the height is 6-8 cm. The bottom of the soaking tray 1 is integrally formed with several horizontal and vertical intersecting reinforcing ribs 102 to enhance the strength of the entire soaking tray 1, so as to facilitate the movement and stacking of the soaking tray 1.
[0030] like Figure 1-2As shown, a support platform 101 for supporting the tray 2 is integrally formed on the inner side of the soaking tray 1 near the top. The tray 2 is located inside the soaking tray 1, and the outer edge of the tray 2 is folded outward to form a hanging edge that cooperates with the support platform 101. The tray 2 is hung on the support platform 101 by the outward hanging edge, so that the bottom of the tray 2 is suspended and 2-3 cm away from the bottom of the soaking tray 1. Both ends of the tray 2 are integrally formed with handles 202 so that the user can put the tray 2 into or take out the soaking tray 1 through the handles 202.
[0031] Meanwhile, drainage holes 201 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the tray 2. In order to enable wheat seeds to absorb water and disinfect in a relatively stable state, a water inlet trough 103 and a drainage hole 104 are provided at one end of the seed soaking tray 1. The height of the outer opening of the water inlet trough 103 is flush with the upper edge of the seed soaking tray 1. A sealing plug 105 is provided in the drainage hole 104. A layer of wet burlap sack 3 is also laid on the bottom of the inner side of the tray 2. Several absorbent cotton strips 301 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the wet burlap sack 3. The ends of the absorbent cotton strips 301 extend into the seed soaking tray 1 through the drainage holes 201 at the bottom of the tray 2. In order to prevent the wet burlap sack 3 from being too wet during the subsequent moisturizing process, the absorbent cotton strips 301 are arranged in a rectangular array on the bottom of the wet burlap sack 3, and the interval between adjacent absorbent cotton strips 301 is 6-8 cm. The whole design provides convenience for draining water after wheat seed soaking and for moisturizing wheat seeds in the later stage.
[0032] Farmers spread the selected high-quality dried wheat seeds onto the damp burlap sack 3 in the tray 2, pour soaking solution or clean water into the soaking tray 1, and finally slowly place the tray 2 containing the wheat seeds into the soaking tray 1. The user can adjust the water level in the soaking tray 1 according to the water level through the water inlet 103 or the drain hole 104. When it is necessary to take the wheat seeds out of the water to drain, the operator only needs to drain the water stored in the soaking tray 1 through the drain hole 104. Since the damp burlap sack 3 itself has good air permeability and water absorption, the operator only needs to add a small amount of water to the bottom of the soaking tray 1 through the water inlet 103 for subsequent moisturizing operations. The water-absorbing cotton strips 301 keep the damp burlap sack 3 moist. The whole process does not require any turning of the wheat seeds. The seeds are in a relatively stable state from soaking to germination.
[0033] It should be further noted that the thickness of the seeds spread in tray 2 should be 1 cm to 1.5 cm.
[0034] like Figure 3As shown, in the subsequent wheat seed germination process, in order to achieve moisture retention, the lid 4 is placed on top of the tray 2. Moreover, the edge of the lid 4 is a horizontal rim 401, and the size of the rim 401 is adapted to the size of the support platform 101 inside the soaking tray 1. The lid body 402 of the lid 4 is horizontally designed, and the rim 401 is transitioned by a sloping slope. Ventilation holes 404 are evenly opened on the transition surface between the two sides of the lid body 402 and the rim 401. In order to facilitate the observation of the wheat seed status, the lid 4 is made of transparent plastic.
[0035] In order to prevent the water level from being too high or too low during the soaking and subsequent moisturizing process, an observation window is provided on the side of the soaking tray 1 to observe the liquid level changes inside the soaking tray 1.
[0036] The amount of wheat seeds used varies depending on the planting area. When a large amount of wheat seeds is needed, multiple soaking and germination trays are required. To avoid the soaking and germination trays taking up too much space, an insertion hole 106 is integrally formed at each of the four corners of the bottom of the soaking tray 1. A support column 5 is inserted into each insertion hole 106. A positioning groove 403 is integrally formed at each of the four corners of the cover edge 401 of the cover 4, corresponding to the insertion hole 106 at the bottom of the soaking tray 1. This allows the soaking and germination trays to be stacked vertically from top to bottom through the support column 5 and the positioning groove 403. The ventilation hole 404 on the cover 4 is set on the inclined transition surface. Therefore, the stacking arrangement design does not affect the ventilation effect of the cover 4.
[0037] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
