[0002] Grass germplasm resources refer to biological materials containing grass genetic information and possessing utilization value. They serve as carriers of genetic diversity, providing gene resources for forage cultivation and other purposes, and are of great significance for maintaining biodiversity and developing the grassland industry. After being collected in the field, grass germplasm resources can be temporarily stored in storage boxes to reduce the impact of the external environment on them, facilitating subsequent transportation, testing, and preservation. However, traditional grass germplasm resource storage boxes have limited functionality, only providing basic storage and struggling to cope with complex environments. They cannot regulate temperature and humidity, easily leading to germplasm inactivation, mold growth, and dehydration, thus affecting subsequent breeding research and ecological restoration efforts. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a temporary storage box for collecting grass germplasm resources. This solves the technical problems of existing temporary storage boxes, which have limited functions, can only store simple materials, are difficult to adapt to complex environments, cannot control temperature and humidity, and are prone to grass germplasm inactivation, mold growth, and dehydration, thus affecting subsequent breeding research and ecological restoration.
[0004] The purpose and function of this utility model's temporary storage box for collecting grass germplasm resources are achieved by the following specific technical means:
[0005] A temporary storage box for collecting grass germplasm resources includes a box body with a lid at the top connected by a hinge. The box body is divided into a storage cavity and an installation cavity by a partition. A water storage tank is installed in the installation cavity, and a water pump is installed at the outlet of the water storage tank. A sprinkler is installed in the storage cavity and connected to the water pump through a pipeline. A sensor and multiple sets of temporary storage basins are also installed in the storage cavity. A first limiting part is provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity, and the temporary storage basins and the sensor are respectively detachably mounted on the limiting part. An assembly groove is opened at the bottom of the lid, and a cooling chip is installed in the assembly groove. A controller is also provided at the top of the lid. A battery compartment is opened in the box body, and a storage battery is installed in the battery compartment.
[0006] The above technical solution further includes that a first observation window with scale lines is opened on the side of the box body near the mounting cavity; and a second observation window is also opened on the other side of the box body corresponding to the storage cavity.
[0007] The above technical solution further includes that the temporary storage basin is divided into multiple basin cavities by multiple sets of partitions, and each of the multiple basin cavities has a drainage hole penetrating through the temporary storage basin.
[0008] The above technical solution further includes that an installation plate is provided inside the storage cavity at the top of the limiting part, and a barrier mesh plate is also provided on the installation plate; multiple sets of drainage grooves are also evenly provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity.
[0009] The above technical solution further includes that the storage cavity is an inclined structure, and a drain hole is also provided through the storage cavity, and a drain pipe is also detachably installed in the drain hole.
[0010] The above technical solution further includes that two sets of mounting components are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the box, and the same set of shoulder straps are rotatably arranged on the two sets of mounting components, and a sponge pad is provided on the inner side of the shoulder straps.
[0011] The above technical solution further includes that two sets of solar panels are also arranged opposite each other on the cover near the controller, and both sets of solar panels are electrically connected to the battery.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The controller and sensors work in tandem. The sensors (temperature and humidity sensors) continuously collect temperature and humidity parameters within the chamber and transmit them to the controller. Upon receiving the data, the controller sends commands to the water pump and cooling coil based on preset temperature and humidity threshold logic, controlling their start, stop, or adjustment of operating power. When the humidity exceeds the threshold, the controller drives the water pump, which sprays water through the sprinkler to ensure suitable humidity for the samples inside the chamber; when the temperature exceeds the threshold, the cooling coil is activated to lower the temperature. This dynamic control stabilizes the temperature and humidity within the chamber within a range suitable for storing grass germplasm resource samples, ensuring the physiological activity of the samples and maintaining their usability for subsequent research, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the temporary storage chamber.
[0014] 2. The grid plate forms a physical barrier for grass germplasm resource samples, preventing them from falling into the box; the drainage holes in the temporary storage basin allow excess water to drain out, preventing the samples from being flooded; the drainage trough guides the water flow, and the drain pipe drains the water out of the box; the inclined storage cavity accelerates the flow and drainage of water, all of which together reduce the amount of residual moisture in the box, avoid excessive humidity caused by spraying, and ensure the storage environment of grass germplasm resources.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0024] Example:
[0025] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides a temporary storage box for collecting grass germplasm resources, including a box body 1, a box cover 2 at the top of the box body 1 connected by a hinge, the box body 1 forming a storage cavity 101 and an installation cavity 102 by a partition, a water storage tank 3 passing through the installation cavity 102, and a water pump 4 being installed at the outlet of the water storage tank 3; a sprayer 103 being installed in the storage cavity 101, and the sprayer 103 being connected to the water pump 4 through a pipeline; a sensor 105 and multiple sets of temporary storage basins 104 passing through the storage cavity 101, and a first limiting part being provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity 101, with the temporary storage basins 104 and the sensor 105 being detachably mounted on the limiting part; an assembly groove is opened at the bottom of the box cover 2, and a cooling chip 5 is installed in the assembly groove, and a controller 6 is also provided at the top of the box cover 2; a battery compartment is also opened inside the box body 1, and a storage battery 7 is installed in the battery compartment. The box cover 2 is hinged to the top of the box body 1 to realize the opening and closing operation. A cooling chip 5 is embedded in the mounting groove at the bottom of the box cover 2. A first limiting part is provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity 101. The temporary storage basin 104 and the sensor 105 are detachably installed on the first limiting part. The temporary storage basin 104 is used to store grass germplasm resource samples. The sensor 105 can monitor the environmental parameters inside the storage cavity 101 in real time. At the same time, a battery compartment is provided inside the box 1 to accommodate a storage battery 7. The three are electrically connected. The sensor 105 collects temperature data of the storage cavity 101 and transmits it to the controller 6. The controller 6 adjusts the storage battery 7 to supply power to the cooling chip 5, thereby reducing the temperature of the storage cavity 101, maintaining sample activity, preventing sample spoilage due to high temperature, and ensuring the research value of the samples. The cooling chip 5 can be a model HT025188; the controller 6 can be a model S7-1200 controller; and the sensor 105 (the sensor 105 is a temperature and humidity sensor) can be a model AHT20 sensor.
[0026] The housing 1 is divided into an independent storage cavity 101 and an installation cavity 102 by a partition, thus achieving functional area division. A water storage tank 3 is installed inside the installation cavity 102, and a water pump 4 is installed at the outlet of the water storage tank 3 to provide water to the sprinkler 103 in the storage cavity 101, ensuring the sprinkler function is realized. The water storage tank 3 can store water, and the water pump 4 is installed at the outlet of the water storage tank 3. The water is transported from the water storage tank 3 to the sprinkler 103 in the storage cavity 101 through a pipeline. The sprinkler 103 sprays the water evenly into the storage cavity 101 to meet the humidity requirements of the grass germplasm resources.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, two sets of solar panels 701 are also installed opposite each other on the cover 2 near the controller 6. Both sets of solar panels 701 are electrically connected to the storage battery 7. The two sets of solar panels 701 on the cover 2, near the controller 6, are electrically connected to the storage battery 7 inside the battery compartment of the box 1 via wires. The solar panels 701 absorb light energy and convert it into electrical energy, which is then transmitted to the storage battery 7 for storage. The storage battery 7 provides power to the controller 6, the cooling chip 5, the water pump 4, and other equipment, enabling the temporary storage box to operate continuously without external power supply, achieving self-sufficiency in power supply, reducing dependence on external power sources, and adapting to grass germplasm resource collection and storage in various complex environments such as the field.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a first observation window 201 with graduated lines is provided on the side of the box 1 near the mounting cavity 102; a second observation window 202 is also provided on the other side of the box 1 corresponding to the storage cavity 101. The first observation window 201 with graduated lines is provided on the side of the box 1 near the mounting cavity 102. The water tank 3 is made of semi-transparent plastic. Through the first observation window 201 and the semi-transparent wall of the water tank 3, the water level in the water tank 3 can be viewed. Combined with the graduated lines, water volume data can be obtained to determine whether water needs to be added. The second observation window 202 is provided on the other side of the box 1 corresponding to the storage cavity 101, facilitating direct observation of the placement of the grass germplasm resource sample temporary storage basin 104 in the storage cavity 101, and assisting in monitoring the environment of the storage cavity 101.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the temporary storage basin 104 is divided into multiple cavities 301 by multiple sets of partitions, and each of the multiple cavities 301 has drainage holes 302 extending through the temporary storage basin 104. An installation plate is also provided in the storage cavity 101 at the top of the limiting part, and a barrier mesh plate 401 is provided on the installation plate. Multiple drainage grooves 402 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the storage cavity 101. The storage cavity 101 has an inclined structure, and a drainage hole extends through it, with a drain pipe 501 detachably installed inside the drainage hole. The multiple partitions inside the temporary storage basin 104 divide it into multiple independent cavities 301, allowing for the separate storage of different grass germplasm resource samples and preventing interference and mixing between samples. Each cavity 301 has drainage holes 302 extending through the temporary storage basin 104 at its bottom. When water enters the cavity 301, excess water can be drained through the drainage holes 302 in a timely manner, preventing water accumulation and soaking of the samples.
[0030] An installation plate is provided at the top of the limiting part inside the storage cavity 101. A barrier mesh plate 401 is opened on the installation plate. The barrier mesh plate 401 is located above the temporary storage basin 104, forming a physical barrier. It supports and limits the grass germplasm resource samples in the temporary storage basin 104, preventing the samples from falling from the temporary storage basin 104 to the bottom of the storage cavity 101, and ensuring the safety of sample storage.
[0031] Multiple sets of drainage channels 402 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the storage cavity 101. The drainage channels 402 are inclined and receive water discharged from the temporary storage basin 104 through the drainage holes 302. The water is guided to flow along the drainage channels 402 to the lower part of the storage cavity 101, and the dispersed water is concentrated and collected. The storage cavity 101 is inclined and a drain hole is opened through the bottom of the storage cavity 101. A drain pipe 501 can be detachably installed in the drain hole. The water collected in the drainage channels 402 flows to the drain hole under the action of gravity and is discharged outside the box 1 through the drain pipe 501, which quickly reduces the excess water content in the storage cavity 101 and thus reduces the humidity in the box 1.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, two sets of mounting components are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the box body 1. The same set of shoulder straps 601 are rotatably mounted on both sets of mounting components, and a sponge pad 602 is provided on the inner side of the shoulder straps 601. The two sets of mounting components on both sides of the box body 1, with the two ends of the shoulder straps 601 rotatably connected to the two sets of mounting components respectively, allow for multi-angle rotation and adjustment of the shoulder straps 601, facilitating the user to carry the storage box in different postures. The sponge pad 602 installed on the inner side of the shoulder straps 601 increases the contact area between the shoulder straps 601 and the human body, distributing carrying pressure, reducing the pressure of the box body 1 on the shoulders when carrying, improving carrying comfort, and facilitating the movement of the storage box for grass germplasm resource collection.
[0033] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
