Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed germination technology, specifically to a seed soaking treatment device with adjustable temperature and humidity. Background Technology
[0002] Chili seeds have a thick and hard seed coat with a cuticle and wax layer on the surface. When sown directly, water cannot quickly penetrate into the embryo, resulting in slow germination. In addition, chili seeds often carry pathogens, and direct sowing can easily lead to seedling infection, resulting in seed rot, seedling death, or later diseases.
[0003] To increase seed germination rate and prevent seedling infection by pathogens carried in the seeds, utility model CN218072353U discloses a seed soaking device (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1), including a base, a water tank, a drive motor, and stirring blades. A soaking chamber is mounted on one end of the top of the base via a mounting bracket, and a water tank is mounted on the other end of the top of the base via a fixed seat. An installation groove is provided near the bottom of the soaking chamber, and an electric heating plate is installed in the installation groove. A hollow coil is pre-embedded in the shell of the soaking chamber. The inlet and outlet ends of the hollow coil are connected to the outlet and inlet ends of the water tank via a first connecting pipe and a second connecting pipe, respectively. A first shut-off valve and a second shut-off valve are respectively installed on the first connecting pipe, and a water pump is installed on the first connecting pipe near the first shut-off valve.
[0004] In the prior art 1, the temperature of the soaking solution can be automatically adjusted so that the seeds can germinate at a suitable temperature; however, chili seeds are relatively small and have a cuticle and wax layer on their surface, which causes some seeds to float on the liquid in the early stage of soaking. This affects the soaking effect and germination rate of the seeds, and also makes it easier for various seeds to float and accumulate freely and clump together. This can lead to local oxygen deficiency in the seeds, resulting in the production of harmful substances and causing the seeds to rot. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a seed soaking treatment device with adjustable temperature and humidity. In actual use, it can solve the problems of the small seed weight of chili seeds in the prior art, and the fact that the surface of chili seeds has a cuticle and a waxy layer, which causes some seeds to float on the liquid in the early stage of soaking. This affects the soaking effect and germination rate of the seeds, and also makes the seeds more likely to accumulate freely due to floating, resulting in seed rot.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A seed soaking treatment device with adjustable temperature and humidity includes a liquid receiving box, a partition, an elastic element, and a movable plate. The movable plate is slidably connected to the liquid receiving box, and the movable plate is connected to the partition through the elastic element.
[0008] The movable plate is equipped with several seed boxes, and the partition plate is provided with through holes. The through holes are corresponding to the seed boxes, and the seed boxes are slidably connected to the through holes. The seed boxes are also provided with seepage holes. A liquid cavity communicating with the seepage holes is provided between the partition plate and the liquid receiving box.
[0009] The movable plate is equipped with a limiting component for limiting the position of the seeds in the seed-carrying box, and the liquid-collecting box is equipped with a cover, on which a temperature and humidity adjustment component is installed.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting plate and a limiting part mounted on the limiting plate, the limiting plate being detachably connected to the movable plate, and the limiting part being correspondingly provided with the seed box.
[0011] Preferably, the limiting part is provided with an immersion cavity.
[0012] Preferably, a button is connected to the movable plate, and the button is slidably connected to the cover.
[0013] Preferably, the liquid receiving box is provided with vent holes.
[0014] Preferably, the temperature and humidity adjustment assembly includes a heating plate and a spraying mechanism, the spraying mechanism being used to spray an impregnation liquid into the impregnation chamber.
[0015] Preferably, the partition is threadedly connected to the liquid receiving box.
[0016] Preferably, absorbent cotton is detachably installed inside the immersion cavity.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The moving plate is driven to move downwards, compressing the elastic element connecting the moving disk and the partition. The seed-carrying box, located on the moving disk, moves downwards into the liquid stored in the liquid-receiving box. The liquid enters the seed-carrying box through the seepage hole. After the liquid-receiving box enters the through hole, the inner wall of the through hole contacts the seepage hole and seals it, preventing the liquid in the seed-carrying box from flowing out. This ensures that the liquid in the seed-carrying box is always just enough to cover the seeds, avoiding problems such as oxygen deficiency, rotting, seed decay, and cracking caused by the seeds being completely submerged in liquid for a long time.
[0019] By setting the limiting component, the seeds in the seed carrier box can be further limited to prevent them from flying out of the seed carrier box during movement; and the limiting component can press the seeds in the seed carrier box into the liquid in the seed carrier box to prevent the seeds from floating on the liquid.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] See Figures 1-3This embodiment discloses a seed soaking device for soaking seeds for breeding. Specifically, it is a seed soaking treatment device with adjustable temperature and humidity, including a liquid receiving box 101, a partition 102, an elastic element 103 and a movable plate 104. The movable plate 104 is slidably connected to the liquid receiving box 101 and is connected to the partition 102 through the elastic element 103.
[0034] A plurality of seed-carrying boxes 105 are mounted on the movable plate 104. The partition plate 102 is provided with through holes, which are corresponding to the seed-carrying boxes 105. The seed-carrying boxes 105 are slidably connected to the through holes, and the seed-carrying boxes 105 are provided with seepage holes 106. A liquid cavity 107 communicating with the seepage holes 106 is provided between the partition plate 102 and the liquid-receiving box 101.
[0035] The movable plate 104 is equipped with a limiting component 108 for limiting the seeds in the seed container 105. The liquid receiving box 101 is equipped with a cover 109, and the cover 109 is equipped with a temperature and humidity adjustment component 110.
[0036] In this embodiment, the seepage hole 106 is disposed on the side of the seed box 105, and a liquid storage area is formed between the partition 102 and the liquid receiving box 101; the moving plate 104 is driven to move downward, compressing the elastic element 103 connecting the moving plate and the partition 102; the seed box 105 disposed on the moving plate moves downward into the liquid stored in the liquid receiving box 101, and the liquid enters the seed box 105 through the seepage hole 106; when the liquid entering the seed box 105 just covers the seeds in the seed box 105, it no longer applies a vertical downward force to the moving plate, so that the moving plate can move upward under the drive of the elastic element 103, and with The liquid-receiving box 101 is re-entered into the through hole; after the liquid-receiving box 101 enters the through hole, the inner wall of the through hole contacts the seepage hole 106 and seals the seepage hole 106, so that the liquid in the seed-carrying box 105 will not flow out of the seed-carrying box 105, so that the liquid in the seed-carrying box 105 is always just enough to cover the seeds, avoiding problems such as lack of oxygen, rotting, seed damage, and cracking caused by the seeds being completely submerged in liquid for a long time; in this embodiment, all components are made of transparent materials such as plastic and glass, which makes it easy for users to observe the germination status of the seeds and the liquid content; if the seeds are still in an ungerminated state after the liquid in the seed-carrying box 105 is absorbed or evaporated, the moving disk can be driven to re-enter the seed-carrying box 105. The downward movement is used for liquid replenishment; in this embodiment, the elastic element 103 is a conventional spring in the prior art; the limiting component 108 is used to cooperate with the seed container 105 to further limit the seeds. By setting the seed container 105, the seeds can be initially placed in sections to avoid seed accumulation affecting the seed's absorption of the liquid; by setting the limiting component 108, the seeds in the seed container 105 can be further limited to prevent the seeds from flying out of the seed container 105 during movement; and the limiting component 108 can press the seeds in the seed container 105 into the liquid in the seed container 105 to avoid the problem of seeds floating on the liquid; in this embodiment, the limiting component 108 is... The presence of breathable fiber gaps ensures that the seed embryos immersed in the liquid can respire normally, reducing the occurrence of seed rot due to anaerobic conditions. The temperature and humidity adjustment component 110 on the cover 109 is used to regulate the temperature inside the liquid receiving box 101 and the humidity of the limiting component 108. Adjusting the temperature inside the liquid receiving box 101 ensures that the seeds are at a suitable germination temperature, improving germination effect and germination rate. Adjusting the humidity of the limiting component 108 allows water to penetrate to the seed surface from two directions, preventing uneven water absorption caused by localized dryness. Furthermore, the liquid inside the liquid receiving box 101 and the limiting component 108 together form a germination zone, which slows down the evaporation rate of water to the outside air.
[0037] In some embodiments, the limiting component 108 includes a limiting plate 111 and a limiting part 112 mounted on the limiting plate 111. The limiting plate 111 is detachably connected to the movable plate 104, and the limiting part 112 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the seed box 105. In this embodiment, the limiting part 112 is made of a moisture-retaining material such as cotton cloth or absorbent paper to ensure that the seeds absorb water evenly and retain moisture.

[0039] In some embodiments, a button 114 is connected to the movable plate 104, and the button 114 is slidably connected to the cover 109. In this embodiment, a sliding groove is provided on the cover 109, and the button 114 is slidably and sealingly connected to the sliding groove, with one end of the button 114 extending away from the movable plate 104 beyond the cover 109. By providing the button 114, it is convenient for the user to drive the movable plate 104 downward after closing the cover 109. In this embodiment, the button 114 and the movable plate 104 can be driven by manual drive or device drive, etc. The specific driving methods will not be described in detail here.
[0040] In some embodiments, the temperature and humidity adjustment assembly 110 includes a heating plate 115 and a spraying mechanism 116, the spraying mechanism 116 being used to spray a wetting liquid into the wetting chamber 113. In this embodiment, the heating plate 115 is used to ensure that the temperature inside the liquid receiving box 101 meets the requirements for seed germination. Depending on the actual needs, the heating plate 115 can be a steam heating plate 115, an electric heating plate 115, etc. The structure and function of the heating plate 115 will not be described in detail here.

The liquid source device is a conventional liquid source device in the prior art, and its structure and function will not be described in detail here.
[0041] In some embodiments, the partition 102 is threadedly connected to the liquid receiving box 101. The liquid receiving box 101 has a first threaded groove for engaging with the partition 102, and the partition 102 is threadedly connected to the liquid receiving box 101 through the first threaded groove. In this embodiment, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the partition 102. By rotating the rotating rod, the distance between the partition 102 and the seed-carrying box 105 and the liquid in the liquid storage area can be adjusted. This allows for adjustment of the number and area of contact between the seepage holes 106 and the liquid storage area according to actual needs, controlling the speed at which liquid enters the seed-carrying box 105.
[0042] In some embodiments, an absorbent cotton 117 is detachably installed inside the immersion cavity 113. By providing the absorbent cotton 117, liquid seeping out of the immersion cavity 113 can be quickly absorbed, and the fiber network in the absorbent cotton 117 can evenly diffuse moisture to the seed surface, ensuring a consistent humidity environment for the seeds; and by providing the absorbent cotton 117, the limiting part 112 can be supported, further improving the limiting effect of the limiting part 112 on the seeds.

[0044] In some embodiments, a replenishment pipe is connected to the liquid receiving box 101, through which liquid can be replenished to the liquid storage area formed between the liquid receiving box 101 and the partition 102.
[0045] In some embodiments, the partition 102 is provided with a clearance groove, and the bottom end of the seed box 105 is connected to a sealing part. In this embodiment, the sealing part is made of rubber material. After the seed box 105 moves upward under the force provided by the elastic member 103, the sealing part moves to contact the clearance groove, thereby further sealing the gap between the through hole and the seepage hole, preventing liquid in the seed box 105 from flowing out from the gap between the through hole and the seepage hole, which would affect the germination efficiency and germination effect of the seeds.
