Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed storage technology, and more specifically, to a chili seed storage device. Background Technology

[0002] The storage quality of chili seeds directly affects their germination rate and subsequent yield, and the humidity of the storage environment is a key factor in determining the effectiveness of seed preservation.

[0003] Chili growers typically use simple storage containers to store seeds. However, this requires opening the container during storage, allowing humid air from outside to enter and increase the overall humidity inside the storage chamber. Excessive humidity can increase seed respiration, deplete their own nutrients, and even cause mold growth, thus reducing seed germination rate and vigor. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes a chili seed storage device that solves the problem of seed mold and reduced germination rate caused by increased humidity in traditional storage tanks.

[0005] The present invention discloses a chili seed storage device, comprising a storage tank, wherein a pre-storage chamber and a storage chamber are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the storage tank, a dryer is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tank, and a humidity sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank.

[0006] A feed pipe is provided at the connection between the pre-storage chamber and the storage chamber, and a first solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the end of the feed pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a stirring shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the pre-storage chamber, and a stirring blade is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft. The end of the stirring shaft passes through the storage tank and extends to its outer side.

[0008] Preferably, the stirring shaft is installed at an angle within the pre-storage cavity.

[0009] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tank, a stepper motor is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and the output end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft.

[0010] Preferably, a suction pump is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank, a guide pipe is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the suction pump, the guide pipe extends into the pre-storage cavity, a seal is formed between the guide pipe and the pre-storage cavity, and a suction tube is fixedly connected to the inlet end of the suction pump.

[0011] Preferably, the storage tank is provided with a discharge chamber located below the storage chamber, and the outer circumference of the discharge chamber is provided with a discharge outlet, and a door can be detachably installed at the discharge outlet.

[0012] Preferably, a discharge pipe is provided at the connection between the storage chamber and the discharge chamber, and a second solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the end of the discharge pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the bottoms of both the pre-storage cavity and the storage cavity protrude downwards to form a conical structure.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model, achieved through the above technical solution, are as follows:

[0015] 1. By separating the pre-storage chamber and the storage chamber, the chance of external humid air directly entering the storage chamber when the storage tank is opened is reduced. The humidity in the pre-storage chamber is detected by a humidity sensor, and the humidity in the storage chamber is treated by a dryer. Then, the treated seeds are discharged into the storage chamber, which solves the problem of seed mold and reduced germination rate caused by high humidity in traditional storage tanks.

[0016] 2. The stirring shaft and stirring blades stir the seeds in the pre-storage chamber to prevent the seeds from clumping, so that the seeds are evenly distributed before entering the storage chamber, and at the same time facilitate the subsequent preliminary drying with the dryer.

[0017] 3. The inclined stirring shaft expands the stirring range, ensuring that seeds in different positions in the pre-storage chamber can be fully stirred, improving the uniformity of stirring and avoiding insufficient drying caused by local seed accumulation.

[0018] 4. The suction pump, guide pipe and suction pipe form an automatic feeding structure, which can complete the seed loading without opening the storage tank, minimize the entry of external humid air, improve feeding efficiency and reduce manual labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a chili seed storage device includes a storage tank 1. The storage tank 1 has a pre-storage chamber 101 and a storage chamber 102 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. A dryer 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tank 1, and a humidity sensor 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 1. The dryer 3 can extract the air in the pre-storage chamber 101 and process the humidity in the air. When the air is transported to the pre-storage chamber 101, the humidity sensor 2 can detect the humidity of the air in the pre-storage chamber 101.

[0025] A feed pipe 105 is provided at the connection between the pre-storage chamber 101 and the storage chamber 102, and a first solenoid valve 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the feed pipe 105.

[0026] By separating the pre-storage chamber 101 and the storage chamber 102, the chance of external humid air directly entering the storage chamber 102 when the storage tank 1 is opened is reduced. The humidity sensor 2 detects the air humidity in the pre-storage chamber 101, and the air humidity in the storage chamber 102 is treated by the dryer 3. Then, the treated seeds are discharged into the storage chamber 102, which solves the problem of seed mold and reduced germination rate caused by increased humidity in traditional storage tanks.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a stirring shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the pre-storage chamber 101, and a stirring blade 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 9. The end of the stirring shaft 9 passes through the storage tank 1 and extends to its outer side.

[0028] A base 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tank 1. A stepper motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 7. The output end of the stepper motor 8 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 9.

[0029] The stirring shaft 9 and stirring blades 10 stir the seeds in the pre-storage chamber 101 to prevent the seeds from clumping and to ensure that the seeds are evenly distributed before entering the storage chamber 102. This also facilitates the subsequent preliminary drying process in conjunction with the dryer 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the stirring shaft 9 is installed at an angle in the pre-storage cavity 101.

[0031] The tilted stirring shaft 9 expands the stirring range, ensuring that seeds in different positions within the pre-storage chamber 101 can be fully stirred, improving stirring uniformity and avoiding insufficient drying caused by localized seed accumulation.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a suction pump 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1, and a guide pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the suction pump 4. The guide pipe 5 extends into the pre-storage chamber 101, and a seal is formed between the guide pipe 5 and the pre-storage chamber 101. A suction pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the feed end of the suction pump 4.

[0033] The suction pump 4, the guide pipe 5, and the suction pipe 6 form an automatic feeding structure, which can complete the seed loading without opening the storage tank 1, minimize the entry of external humid air, improve feeding efficiency, and reduce manual labor intensity.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the storage tank 1 is provided with a discharge chamber 103, which is located below the storage chamber 102. The outer circumference of the discharge chamber 103 is provided with a discharge port, and a detachable door 104 is installed at the discharge port. A discharge pipe 106 is provided at the connection between the storage chamber 102 and the discharge chamber 103, and a second solenoid valve 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the discharge pipe 106.

[0035] The design of the discharge chamber 103 and the door 104 eliminates the need for direct contact with the storage chamber 102 during the seed retrieval process, reducing the chance of external humid air entering the storage chamber 102 during seed retrieval.

[0036] The second solenoid valve 12 controls the connection between the storage chamber 102 and the discharge chamber 103. When taking seeds, only the second solenoid valve 12 needs to be opened to further reduce the risk of the humidity in the storage chamber 102 being affected by the outside world, while simultaneously achieving seed discharge.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the bottoms of both the pre-storage cavity 101 and the storage cavity 102 protrude downwards to form a conical structure.

[0038] The conical bottom design of the pre-storage chamber 101 and the storage chamber 102 ensures that the seeds can be completely discharged, avoiding residue.

[0039] Working principle: First, external chili seeds are sucked into the pre-storage chamber 101 through the suction pump 4 via the suction pipe 6 and the guide pipe 5.

[0040] The stepper motor 8 drives the stirring blade 10 to rotate via the stirring shaft 9, which initially stirs the seeds in the pre-storage chamber 101 to make them evenly distributed.

[0041] Humidity sensor 2 monitors the humidity in the pre-storage chamber 101 in real time. When the humidity exceeds the set threshold, the dryer 3 is turned on to reduce the humidity in the pre-storage chamber 101 and prevent the seeds from becoming moldy.

[0042] When the first solenoid valve 11 is opened, the seeds enter the storage chamber 102 from the pre-storage chamber 101 through the feed pipe 105.

[0043] When seeds need to be removed, the second solenoid valve 12 is opened, and the seeds enter the discharge chamber 103 from the storage chamber 102 through the discharge pipe 106. The seeds are then removed by opening the chamber door 104.

[0044] It should be noted that in this paper, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
