[0025] 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 for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0026] Example:

[0027] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:

[0028] This utility model provides a germination box structure for corn breeding, including an outer shell 1, a water storage tank 4, and a connecting plate 8;

[0029] A second outer shell 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer shell 1, and a control terminal is installed inside the second outer shell 3. A round hole is provided on the upper right side of the first outer shell 1, and a ventilation pipe 5 is connected to the round hole on the upper right side of the first outer shell 1. A thermometer and a hygrometer are installed inside the first outer shell 1. A connecting plate 8 is placed inside the rear end of the first outer shell 1, and a square pipe 9 is connected to the rear side of the connecting plate 8. A drain pipe 10 is connected to the square pipe 9 and extends out of the right side of the first outer shell 1. Two sets of partitions 15 are fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting plate 8. A water tank 4 is placed on the lower right side of the first outer shell 1, and a connecting pipe 6 is connected to the water tank 4. A water pump is installed inside the water tank 4, and a water pipe A7 is connected to the water pump. The water pipe A7 extends out of the upper end of the water tank 4, and an electric control valve 19 is installed on the water pipe A7. The electric control valve 19 is electrically connected to the control terminal inside the second outer shell 3.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, two sets of heating plates 11 are respectively provided on the inner sides of the left and right ends of the outer shell 1, and the heating plates 11 are electrically connected to the control terminal inside the outer shell 3. By setting two sets of heating plates 11 on the inner sides of the left and right ends of the outer shell 1, a symmetrical heating structure is formed, which can make heat evenly transferred from both sides of the outer shell 1 to the middle, avoiding temperature gradient differences caused by heating on one side, effectively reducing the formation of local high temperature or low temperature areas inside the outer shell 1, thereby making the temperature of the entire germination environment more uniform. By using the heating plates 11 to connect to the control terminal, temperature regulation can be automated and intelligent.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lower ends of the two sets of partitions 15 are respectively connected to a set of outer shells 17. Servo motors are installed inside the two sets of outer shells 17, and the motor shafts of the servo motors extend out of the outer shells 17. Movable plates 16 are fixedly connected to the motor shafts. A set of plant growth lights is installed at the lower ends of the two sets of movable plates 16. The servo motors and plant growth lights are electrically connected to the control terminal inside the outer shell 3. The servo motors drive the movable plates 16, thereby driving the plant growth lights to adjust their angle, increasing the illumination range of the plant growth lights, avoiding the problem of blind spots in traditional fixed lights, ensuring that all seeds can receive sufficient and uniform light, and improving the overall germination rate and seedling growth uniformity.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front side of the connecting plate 8 is provided with two sets of reflectors B18, and the front side of the outer shell 1 is rotatably connected to the sealing door plate 2. The inner side of the sealing door plate 2 is provided with a reflector A12. Through the reflector A12 and the reflector B18, the light emitted by the plant growth lamp can be reflected to all corners of the germination box, reducing light loss and dead corners, allowing the corn seeds to receive sufficient light, improving photosynthetic efficiency, and promoting seed germination and seedling growth.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, two sets of storage boxes 13 are connected to the front side of the connecting plate 8, and the two sets of storage boxes 13 are respectively placed under the two sets of partitions 15. A storage rack 20 is movably mounted inside each of the two sets of storage boxes 13. A sieve plate 21 is provided inside the storage box 13, and the sieve plate 21 is placed at the lower end of the storage rack 20. A set of inclined plates 22 are connected to the lower end of each of the two sets of storage boxes 13, and the inclined plates 22 tilt backward. A set of water pipes C23 are connected to the rear end of each of the two sets of storage boxes 13. The material passes through the connecting plate 8 and into the interior of the square tube 9. The storage rack 20 stores corn seeds and soil. The storage rack 20 is installed inside the storage box 13, which facilitates easy removal or installation of the storage rack 20. This makes it convenient for seed placement, observation and transplanting operations, and reduces interference with the seeds. The sieve plate 21 allows water to pass through while preventing soil and impurities from falling in and avoiding blockage of the drainage pipe. The inclined plate 22 guides excess water to the water pipe C23 to ensure smooth drainage and prevent water accumulation.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, water pipe A7 is connected to two sets of water pipes B14. Water pipes B14 penetrate into the interior of outer shell 1, and the two sets of water pipes B14 are respectively placed on the upper end of two sets of storage boxes 13. Two sets of nozzles are installed on the two sets of water pipes B14. By tilting the two sets of nozzles on water pipes B14 forward, water can be sprayed evenly in the storage box 13, avoiding local drought or over-wetness. This provides a relatively consistent humidity environment for corn seed germination and growth, which helps to improve the seed germination rate and the uniformity of seedling growth.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, a set of filters is connected to the inner sides of both ends of the ventilation pipe 5, and a ventilation fan is installed inside the ventilation pipe 5. The ventilation fan is electrically connected to the control terminal inside the outer casing 3. The filters at both ends of the ventilation pipe 5 can effectively block dust and impurities in the outside air from entering the germination box, preventing them from falling on the corn seeds or seedlings and affecting seed germination and seedling growth. It also avoids the accumulation of impurities inside the germination box, reducing the frequency of cleaning. Under the control of the control terminal, the ventilation fan can promptly expel the carbon dioxide and other turbid gases produced by the respiration of the seeds in the germination box, while introducing fresh outside air to keep the air inside the box fresh and provide sufficient oxygen for the germination and growth of the corn seeds.

[0036] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, in this invention, the filters at both ends of the ventilation pipe 5 effectively block dust and impurities from entering the germination box, preventing them from falling on the corn seeds or seedlings and affecting seed germination and seedling growth. This also prevents impurities from accumulating inside the germination box, reducing cleaning frequency. Furthermore, the ventilation fan, under the control of the terminal, can promptly expel carbon dioxide and other pollutants produced by the seeds' respiration, while simultaneously introducing fresh air from the outside, keeping the air inside the box fresh and providing sufficient oxygen for the germination and growth of the corn seeds. Two sets of heating plates 11 are respectively installed on the inner sides of the left and right ends of the outer shell 1, forming a symmetrical heating structure. This allows heat to be evenly transferred from both sides of the outer shell 1 to the center, avoiding temperature gradient differences caused by unilateral heating and effectively reducing the formation of localized high or low temperature areas inside the outer shell 1. This results in a more uniform temperature throughout the germination environment. The heating plates 11 are electrically connected to the control terminal, enabling automated and intelligent temperature regulation.

[0038] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art.
