Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice seed germination technology, specifically a rice seed germination box. Background Technology

[0002] Rice is an annual aquatic herb of the Poaceae family. It is one of the most important food crops for humankind, with a long history of cultivation and consumption. Rice is not only a staple food but can also be used as a raw material for brewing wine and making maltose. Before planting rice, it is necessary to carry out breeding and germination to assist in the planting process and increase the survival rate of rice.

[0003] Utility model patent CN222509948U discloses a rice seed germination box, including a box body. A geared motor is installed on the top of the box body. The output end of the geared motor passes through the box body and is connected to a transmission column. The bottom of the transmission column is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the box body. Two net trays are uniformly fixedly installed on the outer surface of the transmission column, and multiple partitions are uniformly fixedly installed on the inner surface of the two net trays. This application uses a geared motor to drive the transmission column to rotate at a uniform speed inside the box body. Since the two net trays are fixed on the surface of the transmission column, the rotation of the transmission column drives the two net trays to rotate. When the pump body draws water from the inside of the water tank for irrigation, the rotation of the two net trays, combined with the effect of the irrigation pipe, allows for a complete coverage spray of the inner side of the net trays, thereby ensuring more uniform irrigation of the rice seeds inside the net trays and improving the seed germination efficiency.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing technical solutions still have the following shortcomings: the trawl tray and the transmission column of the device are fixedly installed, which makes it time-consuming and laborious to take out the seeds, thus affecting the seed taking efficiency. For this reason, we have proposed a rice seed germination box. Utility Model Content

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-7A rice seed germination box includes a treatment box 1. The surface of the treatment box 1 is equipped with a temperature control mechanism 2 and a humidification mechanism 3. A box door 4 is hinged to the front of the treatment box 1. A geared motor 5 is fixed to the top of the treatment box 1. The output shaft of the geared motor 5 passes through the treatment box 1 and is fixed with a transmission column 6. The bottom of the transmission column 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the treatment box 1. A drain valve 7 is connected to the surface of the treatment box 1. Multiple fixed semicircular blocks 8 are fixed to the surface of the transmission column 6. A movable semicircular block 9 is detachably connected to the front of the fixed semicircular block 8. A tray 10 is fixed to the top of the movable semicircular block 9. A through groove is opened on the rear surface of the tray 10 to accommodate the passage of the transmission column 6. Multiple partitions 11 are fixed to the top of the tray 10. Multiple seed-holding dividers 12 are movably connected to the surface of the tray 10. A pull rod 13 is fixed to the top of the seed-holding dividers 12. A locking structure is provided on the surface of the movable semicircular block 9. A controller 20 is fixed to the surface of the box door 4.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the surface of the processing box 1 is equipped with a temperature control mechanism 2 and a humidification mechanism 3. The front door 4 is easy to open and close. When the geared motor 5 on the top of the processing box 1 is operating, the output shaft drives the transmission column 6 to rotate. The bottom of the transmission column 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the processing box 1 to ensure stable rotation. Multiple fixed semicircular blocks 8 on the surface of the transmission column 6 are combined with detachable movable semicircular blocks 9. A through groove is opened on the rear surface of the tray 10 on the movable semicircular block 9 so that the transmission column 6 can pass through smoothly. Multiple partitions 11 on the top of the tray 10 are used to separate seeds. The multiple slidable trays 12 have pull rods 13 on top for easy placement and removal of seeds. The locking structure on the surface of the movable semicircular block 9 ensures stable connection of each component. During operation, the temperature control mechanism 2 adjusts the temperature inside the processing chamber 1, the humidification mechanism 3 provides suitable humidity, and the transmission column 6 drives each device to rotate, creating a comprehensive germination environment for the seeds. The detachable movable semicircular block 9 cooperates with the fixed semicircular block 8, making the installation and removal of the tray 10 and the slidable trays 12 convenient, greatly saving seed retrieval time and improving work efficiency.

[0026] The locking structure on the surface of the movable semicircular block 9 includes a U-shaped pin 14. Both the fixed semicircular block 8 and the movable semicircular block 9 have pin holes 18 for the U-shaped pin 14 to pass through. A pin block 15 is fixed on the surface of the U-shaped pin 14. A locking groove 16 is opened on the surface of the movable semicircular block 9 to accommodate the pin block 15. A pull handle is fixed on the surface of the pin block 15.

[0027] With the above technical solution, when it is necessary to fix the movable semicircular block 9 and the fixed semicircular block 8, the U-shaped pin 14 is passed through the pin hole 18, and the pin block 15 on its surface is brought in together. The locking groove 16 on the surface of the movable semicircular block 9 can accommodate the pin block 15. The U-shaped pin 14 is operated by the pull handle to achieve locking and unlocking, ensuring that the movable semicircular block 9 and related components can be stably connected when the transmission column 6 rotates, and there will be no loosening or displacement, thereby ensuring the stable cooperation of each structure in the entire germination process.

[0028] A magnet 17 is fixed to the inner wall of the locking groove 16, and the pin 15 is made of a magnetic material.

[0029] With the above technical solution, when the U-shaped pin 14 passes through the pin hole 18 and the pin block 15 enters the locking groove 16, the magnet 17 and the pin block 15 attract each other and generate an adsorption force, which further strengthens the connection between the movable semicircular block 9 and the fixed semicircular block 8.

[0030] The temperature control mechanism 2 includes a heating plate 201 and a cooling plate 202. The heating plate 201 is fixed to the inner wall of the processing box 1, and the cooling plate 202 is embedded and fixed on the left and right sides of the surface of the processing box 1. The cold side of the cooling plate 202 is located inside the processing box 1, and a temperature and humidity sensor 203 is fixed to the inner wall of the processing box 1.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, the heating plate 201 in the temperature control mechanism 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the processing box 1. When the temperature inside the processing box 1 is lower than the set germination temperature, the heating plate 201 is energized and heats up to provide heat to the box and raise the temperature to a suitable range. The cooling plate 202 is embedded and fixed on the left and right sides of the surface of the processing box 1, with its cold side located inside the processing box 1. When the temperature inside the box is too high, the cooling plate 202 is energized and works. The cold side absorbs the heat inside the box and lowers the temperature, while the hot side dissipates the heat to the external environment. The temperature and humidity sensor 203 on the inner wall of the processing box 1 monitors the temperature and humidity inside the box in real time and feeds the data back to the controller 20. The controller 20 controls the start and stop of the heating plate 201 and the cooling plate 202 according to the feedback information to achieve precise temperature control and ensure that the rice seeds are in the optimal germination temperature environment.

[0032] The hot surface of the cooling chip 202 is fixed with heat-conducting fins 204, and a heat dissipation fan 205 is fixed on the surface of the heat-conducting fins 204.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, when the cooling chip 202 is working, its hot surface generates heat. The heat-conducting fins 204 and the heat dissipation fan 205 work together to quickly conduct and dissipate this heat, ensuring that the cooling chip 202 continues to operate stably and will not cause a decrease in cooling effect or damage to the equipment due to heat accumulation.

[0034] The humidification mechanism 3 includes a water tank 301, a water pump 302 connected to the surface of the water tank 301, a diversion pipe 305 connected to the delivery end of the water pump 302, and diversion shells 303 fixed on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the treatment box 1. Multiple atomizing nozzles 304 are connected to the surface of the diversion shells 303, and the diversion pipe 305 penetrates the treatment box 1 and is connected to the diversion shells 303.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, the water tank 301 in the humidification mechanism 3 stores water, the water pump 302 draws water from the water tank 301, and delivers the water to the distribution pipe 305 through the conveying end. The distribution pipe 305 is connected to the distribution shell 303. After the water enters the distribution shell 303, it is evenly sprayed out through multiple atomizing nozzles 304 connected to its surface. The atomizing nozzles 304 atomize the water into fine particles and spray them into the internal space of the treatment box 1 to increase the air humidity and provide a moist germination environment for rice seeds.

[0036] Both the dividing plate 12 and the tray 10 have multiple drainage holes 19 on their surfaces.

[0037] With the above technical solution, during the process of spraying and humidifying or rinsing rice seeds, excess water can be discharged in time through the drainage hole 19, preventing water from accumulating on the holding divider plate 12 and tray 10, and avoiding the seeds from being soaked in water for a long time and rotting.

[0038] Working principle: First, rice seeds are placed into the holding tray 12 through the front door 4 of the processing box 1, and then the door 4 is closed. According to the needs of seed germination, the operator activates the temperature control mechanism 2. The temperature and humidity sensor 203 monitors the internal temperature and humidity of the processing box 1 in real time and transmits the signal to the controller 20. When the temperature is too low, the heating plate 201 is energized and heats up; when the temperature is too high, the cooling plate 202 operates, absorbing heat from the box through its cold surface, thus maintaining the temperature within the suitable range for rice seed germination. Simultaneously, the humidification mechanism 3 starts operating. The water pump 302 draws water from the water tank 301, delivers it through the diversion pipe 305 to the diversion shell 303, and then through the atomizing nozzle 304. Water is atomized and sprayed into the interior of the treatment chamber 1 to increase air humidity. The geared motor 5 on the top of the treatment chamber 1 drives the transmission column 6 to rotate. The transmission column 6 drives the fixed semicircular block 8, the movable semicircular block 9, the tray 10, the holding divider plate 12 and other components to rotate together, so that the seeds receive germination conditions in a humid, temperature-controlled and constantly rotating environment. All the mechanisms work closely together and continue to operate according to the preset germination process until the seeds have completed the germination process. The staff opens the chamber door 4 again and uses the pull rod 13 of the holding divider plate 12 to easily remove the seeds. Alternatively, the U-shaped pin 14 can be removed directly to remove the tray 10 from the surface of the transmission column 6, thereby achieving a rapid seed removal effect.

[0039] Although specific 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 specific embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
