Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of barley seed germination and cultivation boxes, and in particular to barley seed germination and cultivation boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Barley is commonly used to make barley flour and other food products, especially prevalent in Tibetan areas. It plays a vital role in agricultural production in high-altitude regions, being a highly adaptable, cold- and drought-resistant crop. Its stems are erect and smooth, with smooth leaf sheaths, mostly shorter than the internodes or longer than the internodes at the base. The apex has auricles on both sides, clasping the stem. The ligule is membranous, and the leaf blades are slightly rough. The spike-like inflorescence turns yellowish-brown or purplish-brown when mature. The spikelets have linear-lanceolate glumes covered with short hairs, the apex acuminate and awn-like, while the lemma extends to an awn at the apex and has fine bristles on both sides. The caryopsis easily detaches from the fruit when mature. Barley seeds are generally cultivated as an important food crop. Its cold resistance, drought tolerance, and strong adaptability make it widely used in arid and cold regions. Barley seeds are similar to common barley seeds, but its varieties are more adaptable, particularly suited to high-altitude and low-temperature environments. In addition, barley seeds are also used for animal feed and brewing (such as barley wine).

[0003] However, barley seeds germinate slowly, and uneven germination often occurs, resulting in a low survival rate. To improve the germination rate and planting efficiency of barley, it is usually necessary to pre-germinate the seeds. The pre-germination technology of barley seeds plays a crucial role in the barley planting and production process. High-quality pre-germination can effectively improve the germination rate, promote the healthy growth of crops, and reduce planting failures or low yields caused by poor germination conditions, thereby improving the normal planting of barley.

[0004] In existing technologies, barley seeds are typically germinated using incubators. Barley seed germination incubators are a technology that promotes rapid germination of barley seeds by precisely controlling environmental conditions (such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen). Because barley grows in special environments, typically in cold and dry high-altitude areas, specific temperature and humidity conditions are required during the germination process to ensure successful germination. Incubator technology can complete the germination process in a shorter time, improving the germination rate and shortening the crop's growth cycle.

[0005] The barley seed incubation box mainly consists of a box body, a heating system, a humidity control system, a ventilation system, and a control system. The heating system regulates the temperature inside the box, typically using an electric heating plate or hot air system to heat the air to the required temperature. The humidity control system maintains the necessary high humidity inside the incubation box, generally using a humidifier or spray system to regulate the humidity of the air inside the box, ensuring the seeds can fully absorb water. The ventilation system ensures air circulation inside the box, provides sufficient oxygen, and prevents mold growth caused by excessive moisture. The control system includes temperature and humidity sensors and an automatic controller, used to monitor and automatically adjust the environment inside the box in real time, ensuring that the seeds can germinate under suitable conditions. Through precise control of temperature, humidity, and oxygen supply, the incubation box simulates germination conditions in the natural environment, promoting faster germination of barley seeds. Specific steps include:

[0006] Tray placement: Spread the seeds evenly in the tray, avoiding piling or overlapping, to ensure that each seed receives sufficient moisture, air and heat;

[0007] Temperature control: The optimal germination temperature for barley seeds is generally between 18℃ and 22℃. The temperature inside the incubator is usually adjusted to this range to avoid the germination rate being affected by excessively high or low temperatures.

[0008] Humidity control: Barley seeds need sufficient water to effectively absorb water and swell, activating their germination mechanism. The humidity in the incubator should generally be maintained between 70% and 90%. Too low a humidity will cause the seeds to dry out, while too high a humidity will easily lead to mold.

[0009] Oxygen supply: Seeds need oxygen to germinate, so the incubator needs to be well ventilated to ensure that the seeds get enough oxygen during germination.

[0010] During use, the pre-treated seeds are evenly placed in trays inside the incubator. The incubator is usually equipped with multiple trays for seed classification and layered management, ensuring that the seeds receive sufficient moisture, air, and heat during germination. The temperature, humidity, and ventilation conditions inside the incubator are set according to the germination requirements of the barley seeds. The heating and humidity control systems inside the incubator are then activated. During the barley seed germination process, the temperature, humidity, and seed germination status are checked regularly, and humidity and temperature are adjusted promptly to maintain appropriate humidity, preventing the seeds from failing to germinate due to excessive moisture or dryness. If mold or death is found in the seeds, they should be dealt with immediately, and the environment adjusted accordingly. After a period of germination, the barley seeds begin to germinate.

[0011] However, in existing technologies, when germinating barley seeds, the same tray inside the existing barley seed germination incubator usually evenly spreads a large number of seeds that need to be germinated. Because a large number of seeds are spread in the same tray for germination, although the seeds are evenly spread for germination, during the germination process, it is inevitable that the germination of some seeds will accidentally affect the germination of other seeds, causing some seeds to be affected and resulting in abnormal germination. This makes it easy for some seeds to have poor germination, resulting in a reduction in the germination effect and seriously affecting the protective measures of the incubator for barley seed germination and cultivation.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a first groove adapted to the first sliding plate is provided on one side of the placement tray, and a slot adapted to the card plate is provided on one side of the fixing block.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the bidirectional threaded rod passes through one side of the placement disk via a bearing.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] This invention utilizes a separating mechanism to install a separating frame with multiple separating holes on a placement tray. The separating frame is positioned against the placement tray using a positioning block. Pressing the top plate inserts a locking block into the positioning block, and rotating the rotating block moves the first sliding plate via a bidirectional threaded rod. The locking plate then inserts into the fixing block, thus securing the separating frame to the placement tray. This separation frame allows for the separate cultivation of barley seeds, preventing some seeds from germinating poorly in the same trough and reducing the probability of some seeds being affected. This improves the germination and cultivation effect of barley seeds and enhances the protective measures of the container for barley seed cultivation. Attached Figure Description

Keeping the top plate 33 in place, the rotating block 36 rotates. During the rotation of the rotating block 36, the bidirectional threaded rod 37 rotates. The first slide plate 38 moves gradually with the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 37 and moves the locking plate 39 during the movement. The locking plate 39 gradually inserts into the interior of the fixing block 34 until the rotating block 36 can no longer rotate. The locking plate 39 is fully inserted into the interior of the fixing block 34 and fixed. The top plate 33 is fixed on the placement tray 2 and the partition frame 31 is fixed.

[0037] When using the product, place the barley seeds that need to be germinated in a petri dish, and place the petri dishes according to the divider frame 31 on the placement tray 2. The divider frame 31 has multiple dividing holes for separating the petri dishes. After placement, close the door of the box 1 and start the box 1 to germinate the barley seeds.
