[0026] Example

[0027] In existing technologies, it is difficult to precisely control the pressure for seed shell breaking. Insufficient pressure will not effectively break the shell, while excessive pressure will easily damage the embryo and affect the germination rate. Frequent water changes are required during the germination process, but traditional water tanks have low drainage efficiency and are prone to leaving impurities, leading to water quality deterioration. In addition, the seed soaking height is fixed, and it is impossible to adjust the water level according to different types of seeds.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a seed processing and germination device, including an operating table 1 and a water tank 2. The water tank 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the operating table 1, and the operating table 1 provides fixed support for the water tank 2. A germination tray 3 is movably inserted inside the water tank 2. A squeezing component 5 is provided between the germination tray 3 and the water tank 2. A germination component 6 is provided on the top of the operating table 1. A plurality of receiving holes 4 are evenly opened on the inner bottom wall of the germination tray 3. Seeds are placed inside the receiving holes 4. The diameter of the receiving holes 4 is adapted to the diameter of the seeds. Seeds are placed in the receiving holes 4 for germination.

[0029] The extrusion assembly 5 includes a cover 51, a pressure sensor 55, a display 56, and a controller 57. A handle 54 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover 51, and the bottom of the handle 54 is fixedly connected to the cover 51 via a straight rod. The handle 54 drives the cover 51 to rotate within the germination tray 3. The pressure sensor 55, the display 56, and the controller 57 are all fixedly installed on the top of the cover 51. The pressure sensor 55 is electrically connected to the display 56 via the controller 57. The detection end of the pressure sensor 55 is in direct contact with the lower surface of the pressurized cover 51, and the signal output end is connected to the controller 57 via a wire. The display 56 is fixedly installed on the top of the cover 51 in a conspicuous position. It receives and displays the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 55 in real time through the controller 57, with a display accuracy of ±0.1N. The outer side of the cover 51 is provided with an external thread 52, and the inner side wall of the germination tray 3 is provided with an internal thread 53 that meshes with the external thread 52. The cover 51 is threaded into the germination tray 3. U-shaped blocks 58 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cover 51. Several small holes are evenly opened on one side of the U-shaped block 58. The U-shaped block 58 is connected to the germination tray 3 by bolts. When the cover 51 moves to a suitable position and presses against the seed, the U-shaped block 58 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the germination tray 3 by bolts, thereby fixing the position of the cover 51.

[0030] The germination assembly 6 includes a cylinder 61, a conduit 65, and a valve 66. The cylinder 61 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the operating table 1, and the operating table 1 fixes the cylinder 61. The piston rod of the cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped frame 62. Both sides of the germination tray 3 are fixedly connected to protrusions 63, which are fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped frame 62 by bolts. A guide channel 64 is opened inside the water tank 2. The lowest point of the guide channel 64 is close to the outlet 67. The inclination angle of the guide channel 64 is 6-10 degrees. The guide channel 64 guides the water in the water tank 2 to the outlet 67. The outlet 67 is opened on the bottom wall of the water tank 2 and is connected to the conduit 65. The valve 66 is installed on the outside of the conduit 65. When drainage is required, the valve 66 is opened, and the water in the water tank 2 is discharged through the conduit 65.

[0031] The working principle or structural principle is as follows: Seeds to be processed, such as lotus seeds that need to be cracked, are placed into the receiving hole 4 of the germination tray 3. The cover 51 is screwed into the germination tray 3 along the internal thread 53. Holding the handle 54, the cover 51 is rotated downwards. The detection probe of the pressure sensor 55 is vertically fixed at the center of the bottom of the cover 51. This detection probe is made of elastic silicone material. A pressure-equalizing silicone pad is provided at the bottom of the cover 51 to ensure uniform pressure transmission. When the cover 51 is rotated downwards, the detection probe preferentially contacts the seed surface. The pressure sensor 55 transmits mechanical pressure in real time to its sensing element via surface contact. The pressure sensor 55 then transmits the pressure data to the controller 57 via a signal line. After AD conversion and data processing, the current pressure value is displayed digitally on the display 56 in real time with an accuracy of ±0.1N. Each rotation of the cover 51 by the operator lowers it by 0.5mm, gradually compressing the silicone detection probe. When the display 56 shows the pressure reaches the preset value (e.g., 8N for lotus seeds), the pressure application immediately stops, and the cover 51 is fixed in position using locking bolts. At this point, the detection probe is compressed by approximately 1.2mm, ensuring effective pressure transmission while avoiding damage to the seed embryo.

[0032] The germination tray 3 is connected to the U-shaped frame 62 by bolts. After the lotus seeds hatch, the cylinder 61 is activated. The cylinder 61 moves the germination tray 3 down into the water tank 2 through the U-shaped frame 62. The hatched lotus seeds are soaked in water to germinate. In order to keep the water clean, the water should be changed 1-3 times a day. When changing the water, the cylinder 61 pushes the germination tray 3 up to get it out of the water tank 2. The valve 66 is opened and the external water pump is connected to the conduit 65 to pump out the dirty water in the water tank 2 and inject clean water. The cylinder 61 then puts the germination tray 3 back into the water tank 2 to continue soaking and germinating. The water level can also be adjusted according to different types of seeds.

[0033] In summary, the seeds to be treated are placed into the receiving hole 4 of the germination tray 3, causing the cover 51 to rotate downwards. The pressure sensor 55 transmits the pressure data to the controller 57 via a signal line, and the current pressure value is displayed digitally in real time on the display 56. When the display 56 shows that the pressure has reached the preset value (e.g., 8N for lotus seeds), the pressure is immediately stopped and the position of the cover 51 is fixed by the locking bolt. After the lotus seeds break open, the cylinder 61 moves the germination tray 3 downwards through the U-shaped frame 62 and immerses it in the water in the water tank 2. The broken lotus seeds are soaked in water to germinate. When changing the water, the cylinder 61 pushes the germination tray 3 upwards to remove it from the water tank 2. The water tank 2 is drained and then clean water is injected. The cylinder 61 then puts the germination tray 3 back into the water tank 2 to continue soaking and germinating. The external thread 52 of the cover 51 and the internal thread 53 of the germination disc 3 are both trapezoidal threads, which require regular maintenance. The pressure sensor 55 is a model WPAH01 manufactured by Zhengzhou Weisheng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., and the display 56 is a model T397B5-C24 manufactured by Dongguan Guanchen Times Technology Co., Ltd. Since the structure and operating principle of this model are existing technologies, their structure and operating principle will not be described in detail here.
