Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment discloses a device for seed germination, including a housing 1. The housing 1 has multiple spaced-apart first annular ribs 11 inside. A germination box unit 3 is inserted into each of the first annular ribs 11. The germination box unit 3 includes a box body 4. The lower part of the box body 4 abuts against the upper part of the first annular ribs 11. The lower part of the box body 4 has a second limiting rib 42 inserted into the first annular ribs 11. The first annular ribs 11 and the second limiting rib 42 are in clearance fit. This design not only facilitates the placement and removal of the germination box unit 3 but also limits its placement. The bottom of the box body 4 has multiple through holes 41, which communicate with the interior of the first annular ribs 11. The through holes 41 are used for... For drainage, germination paper 5 is laid at the bottom of the shell 1. The germination paper 5 includes multiple absorbent tongues 51. The other end of the absorbent tongues 51 extends out of the box body 4 and is located outside the first annular rib 11. Pure water is placed in the area of the shell 1 outside the first annular rib 11. The absorbent tongues 51 can absorb pure water onto the germination paper 5, thereby replenishing the water for the seeds on the germination paper 5 and facilitating seed germination. For the germination of most agricultural product seeds, only pure water needs to be provided. Furthermore, the absorbent tongues 51 can be cut off according to the amount of water required for the corresponding seed germination. In this embodiment, there are six absorbent tongues 51. If the amount of water required for seed germination is small, several absorbent tongues 51 can be removed to reduce the supply of pure water and meet the germination requirements of the seeds.
[0022] In this embodiment, each shell 1 can be equipped with six germination box units 3, which can meet the germination work of a six-person group. The six people in each group can choose different types and sizes of seeds (such as crop seeds, vegetable seeds, forest seeds, etc.) to conduct germination experiments in their respective germination box units 3. By setting up the shell 1, not only can the water supply of different seeds be concentrated, but also the germination box units 3 of the group can be centrally transported, which is convenient for experimental operation.
[0023] The germination box unit 3 further includes a frame 6, which includes an annular surface 61. The lower part of the annular surface 61 abuts against the upper part of the box body 4. The lower part of the annular surface 61 is provided with a second annular rib 62, which is inserted into the box body 4. The gap between the second annular rib 62 and the inner wall of the box body 4 is greater than the thickness of the absorbent tongue 51. By setting the second annular rib 62, the edge of the germination paper 5 can be limited to prevent the germination paper 5 from curling up during use. Furthermore, the lower end of the second annular rib 62 is connected to multiple crisscrossing connecting ribs 63, which form multiple seed placement areas 64. The seed placement areas 64 are located above the germination paper 5. By setting the connecting ribs 63, not only can the structural strength of the frame 6 be improved, but also multiple seed placement areas 64 can be formed, so that the seeds can be spread more evenly on the germination paper 5, which is conducive to seed germination.
[0024] Furthermore, the upper part of the box body 4 is provided with a notch 43 corresponding to the water-absorbing tongue 51. The water-absorbing tongue 51 passes through the notch 43. The notch 43 can effectively prevent the lower part of the annular surface 61 of the frame 6 from pressing the water-absorbing tongue 51.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a liquid collection tank 2 is inserted into the lower part of the shell 1. Specifically, a first limiting rib 13 is provided at the lower part of the shell 1. The first limiting rib 13 is inserted into the liquid collection tank 2. The inner wall of the liquid collection tank 2 is provided with multiple protruding ribs 21. The upper part of the protruding ribs 21 abuts against the lower part of the first limiting rib 13. By setting the first limiting rib 13, the insertion effect between the shell 1 and the liquid collection tank 2 can be improved. By setting the protruding ribs 21, not only can the support effect of the shell 1 be improved, but also the structural strength of the liquid collection tank 2 can be improved. Among them, a drain outlet 12 is provided in the area enclosed by the first annular rib 11. The drain outlet 12 is connected to the liquid collection tank 2. The liquid seeping out of the germination paper 5 falls into the first annular rib 11 through the through hole 41 and is discharged into the liquid collection tank 2 through the drain outlet 12 for collection. Through the above design, not only can pure water and used water be separated to avoid contamination of pure water by used water, but also the used water can be collected in a centralized manner for easy treatment.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the dashed line represents the liquid level of pure water, which is lower than the upper end of the first annular rib 11.
[0027] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: pour pure water into the shell 1, and then place the germination box unit 3 containing the seeds into the first annular rib 11 for limitation. The end of the water-absorbing long tongue 51 in the germination box unit 3 is immersed in the pure water. The pure water is drawn into the germination paper 5 through the water-absorbing long tongue 51 and used for seed germination. The water seeping out of the germination paper 5 falls into the first annular rib 11 through the through hole 41, and then is discharged into the liquid collection tank 2 through the drain outlet 12 for collection.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
