Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed pretreatment technology, specifically to a high-efficiency wheat seed soaking device. Background Technology
[0002] Soaking wheat seeds is an effective way to improve seed vigor, promote germination, and prevent diseases. There are many ways to soak wheat seeds, including soaking in clean water, soaking in chemicals, and soaking in lime water, etc.
[0003] The traditional method involves soaking wheat seeds in clean water for 8 to 12 hours. Soaking time should not be too long, as this can cause the seeds to absorb too much water and swell, leading to cracking. After soaking, remove the seeds and let them air dry until there is no moisture on the surface before sowing.
[0004] The Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number "CN220897126U" is specifically "a wheat seed soaking device". It changes the height of the pressure plate in the soaking tank by rotating the adjusting screw, so that the pressure plate is in close contact with the upper surface of the soaking liquid, which can prevent the seeds in the soaking tank from floating to the surface of the soaking liquid and thus failing to produce an effective soaking effect.
[0005] However, when soaking in water, substandard seeds such as shriveled, insect-damaged, or underdeveloped seeds may float to the surface. These floating substandard seeds should be collected to prevent them from mixing with qualified seeds again after soaking, which would reduce the overall seed pass rate. However, the document mentioned above not only fails to collect substandard seeds but also uses a pressing plate method. Although this ensures that all seeds are soaked thoroughly, it makes it easier for substandard seeds to mix with qualified seeds, affecting the final seed pass rate. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a high-efficiency wheat seed soaking device, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] This utility model provides a high-efficiency wheat seed soaking device, including:
[0009] The soaking tank has a soaking chamber at the top;
[0010] The scraping assembly includes a scraper that is reciprocally slidably mounted at the opening of the soaking chamber, the bottom of the scraper being lower than the opening height of the soaking chamber;
[0011] The two collection components each include collection tanks installed at both ends of the soaking tank. Each collection tank has a collection chamber at its top and a water pump with its input end connected to the collection chamber at its bottom. Each water pump has a return pipe connected to its output end and the soaking chamber. Each return pipe has a check valve installed at its connection to the soaking chamber. Each collection chamber can be detachably fitted with a filter box.
[0012] Furthermore, a frame is fixedly installed on the top of the soaking tank. The two opposite outer walls of the frame are provided with a first through-hole through the corresponding inner wall, and the other two opposite outer walls of the frame are provided with a second through-hole through the corresponding inner wall.
[0013] Furthermore, support legs are vertically fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the soaking tank, and a drain port with a valve is provided at the bottom of the soaking tank.
[0014] Furthermore, the two scraping assemblies also include two fixed seats fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frame. A lead screw and a guide rod are respectively provided on both sides of the frame. The two ends of the lead screw are rotatably installed with the corresponding two fixed seats, and the two ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the corresponding two fixed seats.
[0015] Furthermore, a motor is installed on the other side of one of the fixed seats. The output end of the motor passes through the fixed seat and is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw. A nut seat is threaded onto the lead screw and is fixedly connected to one end of the scraper. A guide block is slidably mounted on the guide rod and is fixedly connected to the other end of the scraper.
[0016] Furthermore, the filter box consists of a square frame running vertically through the top and bottom and a filter screen. The filter screen is fitted and fixedly installed at the lower cavity opening of the square frame, and two handles are vertically fixedly installed on the top of the filter box.
[0017] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:
[0018] 1. Set up a soaking tank for soaking wheat seeds, and set up a scraper at the top cavity of the soaking tank. By moving the scraper back and forth, the unqualified wheat seeds floating at the top of the soaking tank cavity are pushed to both sides of the soaking tank. During the soaking process, the overall qualified rate of wheat seeds can be improved.
[0019] 2. Since the scraper pushes out some of the water used for soaking wheat while pushing out the floating substandard wheat seeds, the water level in the soaking tank drops, making it difficult for the scraper to reach the floating substandard wheat seeds. Therefore, collection boxes are installed at both ends of the soaking tank. The substandard wheat seeds pushed over are collected by the removable filter box in the collection box. The soaking water is discharged from the filter screen on the filter box and then pumped out by the water pump and discharged back into the soaking tank to ensure a stable water level in the soaking tank.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] Reference Figure 1-4This first embodiment of the present invention discloses an efficient wheat seed soaking device, including a soaking tank 1. The soaking tank 1 has a soaking cavity at the top. The scraping assembly includes a scraper 25 that is reciprocally slidably installed at the opening of the soaking cavity. The bottom height of the scraper 25 is lower than the height of the opening of the soaking cavity, ensuring that the scraper 25 can scrape and push the unqualified wheat seeds at the upper opening of the soaking cavity. The unqualified wheat seeds, along with the soaking water, can be smoothly pushed into the collection box 3 at the end of the soaking cavity 1. Both collection assemblies include collection boxes 3 installed at both ends of the soaking tank 1. The top of each collection box 3 has a collection cavity 31. The bottom of each collection box 3 is equipped with a water pump 32 whose input end is connected to the collection cavity 31. The output end of each water pump 32 is connected to the soaking cavity through a return pipe. A one-way valve 33 is installed at the connection between the two return pipes and the soaking cavity to ensure that the water in the soaking cavity does not enter the collection cavity 31. A filter box 34 can be detachably placed in each of the two collection cavities 31, making it easy to remove the filter box 34 to clean out the unqualified wheat seeds.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: a frame is fixedly installed on the top of the soaking tank 1. The two opposite outer walls of the frame are provided with first through holes 11 through the corresponding inner walls. The nut seat 24 and the guide block slide through the corresponding first through holes 11. The other two opposite outer walls of the frame are provided with second through holes 12 through the corresponding inner walls, so that unqualified wheat seeds and soaking water can flow into the corresponding collection chamber 31 from the second through holes 12. Support legs 13 are vertically fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the soaking tank 1. A drain port is provided at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. A valve 14 is provided in the drain port to facilitate the discharge of the soaked wheat seeds. When discharging, simply place the collection bucket with the filter screen at the drain port and open the valve 14 to achieve solid-liquid separation of the soaked qualified wheat seeds and the soaking water.
[0035] The two scraping assemblies also include two fixed seats 21 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the frame. A lead screw 22 and a guide rod are respectively provided on both sides of the frame. The two ends of the lead screw 22 are rotatably mounted to the corresponding two fixed seats 21, and the two ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the corresponding two fixed seats 24. A motor 23 is mounted on the other side of one of the fixed seats 21. The output end of the motor 23 passes through the fixed seat 21 and is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 22. A nut seat 24 is threaded onto the lead screw 22, and the nut seat 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the scraper 25. The guide rod slides upwards... The moving part is equipped with a guide block that is fixedly connected to the other end of the scraper 25. A circular hole is opened through the center of the guide block, and the inner diameter of the circular hole is consistent with the outer diameter of the guide rod, so as to ensure that the guide block and the scraper 25 slide back and forth stably and reliably. The filter box 34 is composed of a square frame that runs through the top and bottom and a filter screen. The filter screen is fitted and fixedly installed at the lower cavity of the square frame. Therefore, the filter box 34 can not only filter soaking water, but also collect unqualified wheat seeds. Two handles 35 are also vertically fixedly installed on the top of the filter box 34 to facilitate the removal of the filter box 34 from the collection cavity 31.
[0036] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.
[0037] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:
[0038] First, close valve 14 and pour the wheat seeds to be soaked into the soaking chamber. Then, pour clean water into the soaking tank 1. Finally, the surface of the clean water should be level with the upper opening of the soaking chamber. Then wait for soaking. After soaking for a certain period of time, the unqualified wheat seeds will float to the upper opening of the soaking chamber.
[0039] Then, the motor 23 is started, which drives the lead screw 22 to rotate, and then drives the nut seat 24 to rotate synchronously. However, since the nut seat 24 is fixedly connected to the scraper 25, and the other end of the scraper 25 is fixedly connected to a guide block that is slidably fitted on the guide rod, the nut seat 24 and the scraper 25 are forced to slide by the guide block. By controlling the direction of the current in the motor 23, the driving direction of the motor 23 is switched, thereby finally realizing the reciprocating movement of the scraper 25. Since the bottom height of the scraper 25 is lower than the height of the soaking chamber opening, it can push the unqualified wheat seeds at the upper opening of the soaking chamber and rush into the collection chamber 31 along with the soaking water. The unqualified wheat seeds pushed over are collected by the detachable filter box 34 in the collection box 3. The soaking water is discharged from the filter screen on the filter box 34 and then pumped by the water pump 32 and discharged back into the soaking box to ensure that the water level in the soaking chamber is stable.
[0040] Finally, place the collection bucket with the filter screen at the drain outlet and open valve 14. The qualified wheat seeds and soaking water in the soaking chamber will be automatically discharged. At this time, the qualified wheat seeds and the soaking water can be separated into solid and liquid efficiently, thus achieving efficient soaking of wheat seeds.
[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
