Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural engineering technology, and in particular to an adjustable seed cultivation box. Background Technology
[0002] A seed culture box is a device used for seed cultivation. It simulates suitable environmental conditions for seed germination and growth, such as temperature, humidity, and light, to provide a good growing space for seeds, which helps seeds germinate, grow, and develop in the early stages. It is commonly used in agricultural research, breeding, and other fields.
[0003] A search revealed that the document with publication number "CN218277966U" mentions that "this utility model relates to the agricultural field, and in particular to a seed cultivation box. The seed cultivation box includes a shell, a feeding assembly, and a light-blocking assembly. A fixedly connected top plate is installed on the top of the shell, and a circular track is provided on the top plate. A slidingly connected guide block and a slider are respectively installed in the track, and a fixedly connected gauze curtain is installed between the bottom of the top plate, the guide block, and the slider." In use, the seed cultivation box provided by this utility model can be placed outdoors to allow the seeds to receive sunlight. When the sunlight intensity is too high, the motor is turned on, causing it to rotate a connecting rod via a turntable. The connecting rod then rotates the guide block, which in turn rotates the gauze curtain. When the guide block and the gauze curtain block the sun-facing side of the cultivation box, the gauze curtain weakens the sunlight, effectively improving the protection of the seeds and the moisture retention of the soil.
[0004] However, in the seed cultivation process, most existing incubators are constant temperature chambers. In actual use, seeds grow in a relatively closed environment, and the oxygen consumption during the growth stage is relatively large. The conventional method of supplementing oxygen supply through natural ventilation can easily lead to insufficient oxygen, which restricts seed growth and affects germination rate and growth quality. Furthermore, the light requirements of each stage of seed development are not the same. Conventional lighting methods often involve direct sunlight at the same brightness for a long time, which is not easy to meet the light requirements of different plants at different stages. At the same time, water supply also relies on artificial watering or timed spraying. However, this watering method can easily cause uneven water distribution, resulting in some seeds being too wet or too dry, which affects the overall growth effect.
[0005] Therefore, we provide an adjustable seed culture box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An adjustable seed culture box includes a seed culture box body, an air pump installed on the lower side of the seed culture box body, an air exchange port installed on the upper side of the seed culture box body, an outer door installed on the front side of the seed culture box body, a seed culture adjustment component provided on the inner side of the seed culture box body, the seed culture adjustment component including a fixing frame welded to the inner side of the seed culture box body, a retaining strip welded to the inner side of the fixing frame, a seed culture tray installed on the inner side of the retaining strip, a three-way atomizing nozzle provided on the upper side of the seed culture tray, a moisture-absorbing sponge provided at the rear end of the inner side of the seed culture box body, electrically controlled supplementary lights provided on both the left and right sides of the fixing frame, and a bus controller installed at the top of the inner side of the seed culture box body.
[0008] Furthermore, the air pump is welded to the seed culture box, and the air exchange port and the air pump are arranged perpendicularly and symmetrically about the seed culture box.
[0009] Furthermore, the seed culture tray and the card strip are connected by a slot, and the seed culture tray and the card strip are symmetrically distributed at equal distances about the fixing frame.
[0010] Furthermore, the three-way atomizing nozzle is welded to the seed cultivation box, and the three-way atomizing nozzle is set one-to-one with the seed cultivation tray.
[0011] Furthermore, the moisture-absorbing sponge is adhesively connected to the seed cultivation box, and the moisture-absorbing sponge is a polyurethane sponge.
[0012] Furthermore, the electrically controlled supplemental lighting is welded to the seed culture box, and the electrically controlled supplemental lighting is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the seed culture box. The electrically controlled supplemental lighting and the seed culture tray are arranged in groups symmetrically.
[0013] Furthermore, an oxygen content sensor is provided on the right side of the bus controller, an oxygen supply port is provided on the right side of the air pump, and an oxygen supply pump is welded to the right side of the lower side of the seed cultivation box. The oxygen content sensor and the oxygen supply pump are electrically connected, and the oxygen supply port and the oxygen supply pump are connected by a pipeline.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This utility model utilizes a seed cultivation adjustment component. When needed, the three-way atomizing nozzle periodically sprays water mist onto the seed cultivation tray. The three-way atomizing nozzle ensures that the water mist evenly covers the seeds through spraying angles on the left, right, and bottom sides, promoting seed germination and growth while preventing water accumulation. After the three-way atomizing nozzle sprays water mist, the moisture-absorbing sponge absorbs some of the water mist that escapes from the air, keeping the seed cultivation box dry and preventing seed mold caused by excessive air humidity. At the same time, the absorption effect of the moisture-absorbing sponge can also effectively regulate the humidity inside the box, providing a stable and suitable growth environment for the seeds.
[0016] 2. This utility model uses a seed cultivation adjustment component. Based on the light requirements of the seeds at different growth stages, the bus controller will control the electronic supplemental lighting to automatically adjust the light intensity and irradiation time. The electronic supplemental lighting can irradiate the seeds in the seed cultivation tray from both sides, reducing blind spots in light. In conjunction with an oxygen content sensor, the oxygen concentration in the chamber is monitored in real time. If it is lower than the set value, the oxygen supply pump will automatically start and deliver oxygen into the chamber through the oxygen supply port to ensure that the seeds grow healthily in a sufficient oxygen environment and improve the germination rate.

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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable seed cultivation box, including a seed cultivation box body 1, an air pump 2 installed on the lower side of the seed cultivation box body 1, an air exchange port 3 installed on the upper side of the seed cultivation box body 1, an outer door 4 installed on the front side of the seed cultivation box body 1, a seed cultivation adjustment component 5 provided on the inner side of the seed cultivation box body 1, the seed cultivation adjustment component 5 including a fixing frame 501 welded to the inner side of the seed cultivation box body 1, a retaining strip 502 welded to the inner side of the fixing frame 501, a seed cultivation tray 503 installed on the inner side of the retaining strip 502, a three-way atomizing nozzle 504 provided on the upper side of the seed cultivation tray 503, a moisture-absorbing sponge 505 provided at the rear end of the inner side of the seed cultivation box body 1, electrically controlled supplementary lights 506 provided on both the left and right sides of the fixing frame 501, and a bus controller 507 installed at the top of the inner side of the seed cultivation box body 1.
[0027] Continue reading Figure 1-5 As shown, the seed cultivation tray 503 and the card strip 502 are connected by a slot. The seed cultivation tray 503 and the card strip 502 are symmetrically distributed at equal distances about the fixing frame 501. When needed, an appropriate number of seed cultivation trays 503 can be selected and clipped onto the card strip 502 according to the environmental requirements of seed cultivation and the different growth heights of the seeds, thereby flexibly adjusting the seed cultivation space and realizing multi-level three-dimensional cultivation.
[0028] Continue reading Figure 1-5As shown, the electrically controlled supplemental light 506 is welded to the seed cultivation box 1. The electrically controlled supplemental light 506 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the seed cultivation box 1. The electrically controlled supplemental light 506 and the seed cultivation tray 503 are arranged in a symmetrical group. When needed, according to the light requirements of the seed growth stage, the bus controller 507 will control the electrically controlled supplemental light 506 to automatically adjust the light intensity and irradiation time. The electrically controlled supplemental light 506 can irradiate the seeds in the seed cultivation tray 503 from both sides to reduce the blind spots of light.
[0029] Continue reading Figure 1-5 As shown, the three-way atomizing nozzle 504 is welded to the seed cultivation box 1. The three-way atomizing nozzle 504 and the seed cultivation tray 503 are set one-to-one. When needed, the three-way atomizing nozzle 504 will periodically spray water mist onto the seed cultivation tray 503. The three-way atomizing nozzle 504 ensures that the water mist evenly covers the seeds by spraying at the three sides (left, right and bottom) to promote seed germination and growth, while avoiding water accumulation.
[0030] Continue reading Figure 1-5 As shown, the moisture-absorbing sponge 505 is bonded to the seed cultivation box 1. The moisture-absorbing sponge 505 is a polyurethane sponge. After the three-way atomizing nozzle 504 sprays water mist, the moisture-absorbing sponge 505 will absorb some of the water mist that escapes from the air, keeping the seed cultivation box 1 dry and preventing seed mold caused by excessive air humidity. At the same time, the absorption effect of the moisture-absorbing sponge 505 can also effectively regulate the humidity inside the box, providing a stable and suitable growth environment for the seeds.
[0031] Continue reading Figure 1-5 As shown, the air pump 2 is welded to the seed cultivation box 1. The air exchange port 3 and the air pump 2 are arranged vertically and symmetrically about the seed cultivation box 1. When air needs to be replaced during seed cultivation, the air pump 2 draws air from the inside of the seed cultivation box 1, while the air exchange port 3 simultaneously replenishes fresh air, achieving rapid air replacement. Furthermore, since the air pump 2 and the air exchange port 3 are arranged vertically, dead zones in airflow can be avoided, ensuring that the air in all corners of the box is evenly renewed, thus improving the efficiency of seed cultivation.
[0032] Continue reading Figure 1-5As shown, an oxygen content sensor 508 is located on the right side of the bus controller 507, and an oxygen supply port 509 is located on the right side of the air pump 2. An oxygen supply pump 510 is welded to the right side of the lower side of the seed cultivation box 1. The oxygen content sensor 508 and the oxygen supply pump 510 are electrically connected, and the oxygen supply port 509 and the oxygen supply pump 510 are connected by a pipe. When needed, the oxygen content sensor 508 monitors the oxygen concentration in the box in real time. If it is lower than the set value, the oxygen supply pump 510 will start automatically and deliver oxygen to the box through the oxygen supply port 509 to ensure that the seeds grow healthily in a sufficient oxygen environment and improve the germination rate.
[0033] Working principle: When needed, first place the seed cultivation box 1 in the desired position, then place the seeds in the seed cultivation tray 503, and select an appropriate spacing according to the seed germination height, securing them to the clips 502 in the fixing frame 501. After preparation, close the outer door 4. At this time, the bus controller 507 starts, controlling the three-way atomizing nozzle 504 to spray the seeds at timed intervals. Simultaneously, the electronically controlled supplemental light 506 automatically adjusts the light according to the preset program. Excess moisture is effectively absorbed by the moisture-absorbing sponge 505, maintaining the humidity balance inside the box. Finally, as the seed grows, the oxygen content sensor 508 senses the oxygen content inside the seed cultivation box 1. At this time, the air pump 2 replaces the air inside the seed cultivation box 1, and fresh air is sent back into the seed cultivation box 1 through the air exchange port 3. According to the oxygen content, the oxygen supply pump 510 dynamically adjusts the oxygen supply, sending oxygen into the seed cultivation box 1 through the oxygen supply port 509. This completes the usage process of an adjustable seed cultivation box.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
