[0002] In barley cultivation, seeds typically need to be germinated first, requiring the use of germination devices to promote seed germination. The germinated seeds are then sown to improve the survival rate of barley, promote healthy seedling growth, and thus increase the yield and quality of barley cultivation.
[0003] Existing germination devices typically plant seeds on germination trays, which usually have several germination grooves for seed growth. However, when removing germinated seeds from the germination tray, the seeds are often poured out of the germination grooves or dug out with tools, which can cause the seedlings to break, thus affecting the survival rate of barley seedlings and hindering barley cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.
[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-9 The barley seed germination device shown includes a box 1 with a door hinged to the front, a heating element and a humidifying element on the box 1, and multiple germination trays 9 distributed along its height direction inside the box 1. Each of the multiple germination trays 9 has several germination slots 16. A temperature and humidity sensor is also installed on the inner wall of the box 1, and an exhaust valve 3 is installed on the top of the box 1.
[0030] It also includes a seedling pulling structure 15, which includes a detachable sleeve component inserted into several budding slots 16. The sleeve component includes a first ring 151 and a second ring 152 that are spliced together, and a snap-fit component 157 that fixes the first ring 151 and the second ring 152. Several ventilation holes 156 are opened on the first ring 151 and the second ring 152, and a cone-shaped planting cavity is formed between the first ring 151 and the second ring 152. A top plate 153 is installed on the top of the first ring 151 and the second ring 152, and a handle 155 is fixed on one side of each of the two top plates 153.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the snap-fit component 157 includes a snap-fit post 1571 installed on one side of the first ring sleeve 151 and a snap-fit hole 158 opened on one side of the second ring sleeve 152. The snap-fit post 1571 has a cavity 1575 inside, and a spring 1574 is provided in the cavity 1575. Both ends of the spring 1574 are connected to connecting plates 1573, and one side of each of the two connecting plates 1573 is connected to a snap-fit block 1572 extending to the outside of the snap-fit post 1571. The inner walls of the snap-fit hole 158 have slots on both sides that cooperate with the snap-fit block 1572.
[0032] Secondly, in this embodiment, the heating element includes electric heating tubes embedded on both sides of the inner wall of the box 1; the humidifying element includes a support plate 4 installed at the bottom of the box 1 and an atomizing spray plate 8 installed at the top inside the box 1. A water tank 5 is provided on the support plate 4. The water tank 5 has a pump body inside it, and a delivery pipe 2 is connected between the water tank 5 and the atomizing spray plate 8. A water filling valve 6 is installed on the back side of the water tank 5.
[0033] As described above, when germinating barley seeds, the box door can be opened first, and then the sleeve piece composed of the first ring 151 and the second ring 152 can be inserted into the germination trough 16. Then, nutrient soil can be filled into the planting cavity formed between the first ring 151 and the second ring 152. Then, the barley seeds can be sown in the nutrient soil and the box door can be closed, so that the barley seeds can grow and germinate on the germination plate 9.
[0034] Secondly, during the growth of barley seeds, the temperature and humidity inside the box 1 can be monitored in real time by the temperature and humidity sensor on the inner wall of the box 1. If the temperature inside the box 1 is low, the inside of the box 1 can be heated by the electric heating tube on the inner wall of the box 1 until the temperature inside the box 1 reaches the set temperature. The exhaust valve 3 can be opened to release the pressure and ensure the growth and germination of the barley seeds. If the temperature is high, the box door can be opened to ventilate and dissipate heat inside the box 1, thereby ensuring that the temperature inside the box 1 meets the germination requirements of the barley seeds and is conducive to the growth and germination of the barley seeds.
[0035] Furthermore, if the humidity inside the box 1 is insufficient, water can be pumped through the pump inside the water tank 5 and sent into the atomizing spray plate 8 through the delivery pipe 2. Then, the water is sprayed onto the germination plate 9 through the atomizing spray plate 8 to humidify the barley seeds on the germination plate 9, thereby meeting the humidity required for the growth and germination of the barley seeds and further facilitating their growth and germination.
[0036] After the barley seeds germinate, the sleeve, composed of the first ring 151 and the second ring 152, can be pulled upwards using the handle 155 on the top plate 153. This causes the sleeve to move upwards along the germination groove 16 until it is removed from the germination groove 16, thus removing the barley seedling from the germination plate 9. Then, the first ring 151 and the second ring 152 can be pulled to the sides, causing the locking post 1571 to move through the locking hole 158. At this time, the locking block 1572 is compressed, and the connecting plate 1573 compresses the spring 1574, causing the spring 1574 to... The contraction causes the locking block 1572 to move into the cavity 1575, separating the locking block 1572 from the slot. Then, when the locking post 1571 is completely removed from the locking hole 158, the locking block 1572 pops out of the cavity 1575 under the action of the spring 1574, thereby separating the first ring 151 from the second ring 152 and completing the disassembly of the sleeve. This makes it easier to remove the germinated seeds from the sleeve as a whole, avoiding the situation where the seedlings are easily broken during the current seed removal process. This is beneficial for the sowing of the germinated seeds, greatly improving the survival rate of wheat seedlings and facilitating the planting of wheat seedlings.
[0037] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-3As shown, a rotatable rotating column 10 is installed inside the housing 1, and the bottom end of the rotating column 10 extends to the bottom of the housing 1 and is equipped with a secondary gear 11. A motor 13 is fixed on the top of the support plate 4, and a main gear 12 that meshes with the secondary gear 11 is installed on the main shaft of the motor 13.
[0038] During the barley seed germination process, the main gear 12 can be driven to rotate by the motor 13. Then, the main gear 12 drives the secondary gear 11 that meshes with it to rotate, so that the secondary gear 11 drives the rotating column 10 to rotate synchronously. Then, the rotating column 10 drives the germination disc 9 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the germination disc 9, which facilitates the uniform heating and humidification of the barley seeds and helps to improve the germination effect of the barley seeds.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, a baffle ring 14 is also installed on the top of the germination tray 9. Specifically, during atomized humidification, the baffle ring 14 can block the water that accumulates on the germination tray 9, preventing the water from overflowing from the sides of the germination tray 9, which is beneficial for humidifying the barley seeds on the germination tray 9.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a drain valve 7 is also installed on the back side of the box 1, and a water baffle is installed on the side of the box 1 opposite to the drain valve 7, with the water baffle located inside the box door.
[0041] During the humidification process of barley seeds, when excess water from the germination tray 9 falls to the bottom of the box 1, the water-blocking strip can block the water, preventing it from flowing out of the opening on the front side of the box 1. This allows the water to accumulate inside the box 1 and then be discharged through the drain valve 7, thus achieving water collection and discharge. This facilitates water recycling, prevents water from overflowing and causing waste, and makes cleaning of the box 1 easier.
[0042] Additionally, in one embodiment, such as Figures 4-8 As shown, the top of the budding plate 9 is also provided with several positioning components, and each positioning component includes positioning blocks 17 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the budding groove 16, and positioning holes 154 opened on one side of the two top plates 153.
[0043] When the sleeve consisting of the first ring 151 and the second ring 152 is inserted into the germination trough 16, the bottom of the top plate 153 abuts against the top of the germination plate 9. At this time, the positioning block 17 is inserted into the positioning hole 154 to quickly position the top plate 153 and the germination plate 9, thereby achieving the limiting and fixing of the sleeve, which facilitates the stable placement of the seedling pulling structure 15 in the germination trough 16 and helps to ensure the stable germination of barley seeds.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
