Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of forestry seed germination technology, and in particular to a forestry seed soaking and germination box. Background Technology

[0002] The germination process of forestry seeds requires the use of soaking and germination boxes. The germination temperature for most forestry seeds is between 20℃ and 25℃, while the germination temperature for some special tree species is between 25℃ and 30℃, such as Phoebe zhennan. Existing germination boxes are equipped with viewing glass to facilitate real-time observation of the germination status of forestry seeds. However, when the temperature inside the germination box is higher than the outside temperature, water vapor easily condenses on the surface of the viewing glass, affecting the observation of the germination status of forestry seeds and reducing the ease of use of the germination box.

[0003] A search of related technologies revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN216058186U) entitled "A Seed Germination Box for Forestry Engineering," which includes a box body. The top left and right ends of the box body are movably connected to threaded rods via bearings. A driven pulley is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod. A support frame is fixedly connected to the right end of the box body's top. A servo motor is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame. An active pulley is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A synchronous belt is sleeved between the active and driven pulleys. A movable plate is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod. This invention, through the use of a temperature and humidity sensor, an exhaust hood, a dehumidification hood, a servo motor, an active pulley, a synchronous belt, a driven pulley, a threaded rod, and a movable plate, solves the problems of existing germination boxes having simple structures, poor germination effects, and inconvenient seed handling. Furthermore, the fixed internal spacing of the box is inconvenient for users. However, the viewing glass of this germination box is prone to condensation, making it difficult to observe the germination status of forestry seeds and reducing the ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a forestry seed soaking and germination box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a forestry seed soaking and germination box, comprising:

[0006] A germination box for soaking and germinating forestry seeds, with a visible glass embedded and fixed to the top surface of the germination box;

[0007] The cleaning assembly is located at the bottom of the viewing glass. The cleaning assembly includes a movable plate and a scraper for cleaning the viewing glass. Two connecting sleeves are welded to the bottom surface of the movable plate. Connecting rods are inserted into the inner walls of the connecting sleeves. The end faces of the two connecting rods pass through the movable plate and are welded to the scraper. Slide plates are connected to both ends of the movable plate. Slide rails are embedded and slidably connected to the opposite sides of the two slide plates. The opposite sides of the two slide rails are welded to the germination box. The movable part of a linear motor is connected to the bottom surface of one of the slide plates. The fixed end of the linear motor is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the germination box by bolts.

[0008] Preferably, the top surface of the germination chamber is higher than the top surface of the viewing glass, and the side of the sliding plate away from the moving plate makes sliding friction contact with the germination chamber.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting sleeve is threaded with a clamping bolt for tightly abutting the connecting rod, and a door is installed on the side of the germination box.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the germination box is welded with four plug-in posts arranged in an array, and a positioning component is provided on the upper part of one of the plug-in posts.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning component includes a positioning post and a fixing post, with the bottom surface of the positioning post welded to the fixing post.

[0012] Preferably, the fixed column has four anti-slip blocks arranged at equal angles welded to its curved surface, and the top surfaces of the four anti-slip blocks are welded to the positioning column.

[0013] Preferably, a stud is connected to the bottom surface of the fixing post, and the stud is threadedly connected to the insertion post.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom surface of the germination box has four positioning grooves for the insertion of the plug-in post and the positioning component.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This forestry seed soaking and germination box allows for observation of the germination status of forestry seeds through a viewing glass during the soaking and germination process. When the temperature inside the germination box is higher than the external temperature, water vapor easily condenses on one side of the viewing glass, reducing its visibility and affecting real-time observation of the germination status. A linear motor provides power, and with the connection of a moving plate, it drives a scraper to remove the water vapor condensed on the surface of the viewing glass, facilitating real-time observation of the germination status. Simultaneously, the connecting rod can move along the connecting sleeve to enhance the contact tightness between the scraper and the viewing glass, improving the water vapor removal effect. During the movement of the moving plate, two sliding plates can move along the path of two slide rails.

[0017] This forestry seed soaking and germination box allows for the vertical stacking of multiple germination boxes for easy storage and placement. The upper germination box has a positioning groove into which a connecting post of the lower germination box is inserted, securing the stacked boxes and enhancing their stability. One connecting post is threadedly connected to a stud, fixing the position of the positioning post. This ensures that the positioning post, higher than the connecting post, extends into the positioning groove first, providing positioning for the stacked boxes. This eliminates the need for simultaneous positioning and insertion of four positioning grooves and four connecting posts, improving the ease of use. An anti-slip slider provides a non-slip function; pushing the anti-slip slider rotates the fixing post. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0029] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A forestry seed soaking and germination box, in this embodiment including:

[0031] The germination chamber 1 for soaking and germinating forestry seeds has a built-in temperature sensor, humidity sensor, humidification equipment, drying equipment, heating equipment, and cooling equipment. The equipment for controlling temperature and humidity inside the germination chamber 1 is existing technology and is not part of the problem to be solved, so it will not be described in detail. The germination chamber 1 can control temperature and humidity to provide conditions for soaking and germinating forestry seeds. A viewing glass 2 is embedded and fixedly connected to the top surface of the germination chamber 1, which allows for real-time observation of the forestry seeds soaking and germinating inside the germination chamber 1.

[0032] Cleaning component 3, located at the lower part of the viewing glass 2, addresses the issue that the germination temperature for most forestry seeds is between 20℃ and 25℃, while for some special tree species, such as Phoebe zhennan, it is between 25℃ and 30℃. When the temperature inside the germination chamber 1 is higher than the temperature outside, water vapor will condense on the side of the viewing glass 2 inside the chamber 1, reducing visibility and hindering observation of the germination process. This also reduces the ease of use of the germination chamber. Cleaning component 3 removes and cleans the condensed water vapor from the surface of the viewing glass 2, improving the visibility of the germination chamber. For ease of use, the cleaning component 3 includes a movable plate 4 and a scraper 5 for cleaning the viewing glass 2. Two connecting sleeves 6 are welded to the bottom surface of the movable plate 4. Connecting rods 7 are inserted into the inner wall of the connecting sleeves 6. The end faces of the two connecting rods 7 pass through the movable plate 4 and are welded to the scraper 5. Slide plates 8 are connected to both ends of the movable plate 4. Slide rails 9 are embedded and slidably connected to the opposite sides of the two slide plates 8. The opposite sides of the two slide rails 9 are welded to the germination box 1. The bottom surface of one of the slide plates 8 is connected to the moving part of the linear motor 10. The fixed end of the linear motor 10 is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the germination box 1 by bolts.

[0033] The top surface of the germination box 1 is higher than the top surface of the viewing glass 2. The side of the sliding plate 8 away from the moving plate 4 makes sliding friction contact with the germination box 1. The side of the connecting sleeve 6 is threaded with a clamping bolt 11 for tightly abutting the connecting rod 7. A box door 12 is installed on the side of the germination box 1. Four insertion posts 13 arranged in an array are welded to the top surface of the germination box 1. A positioning component 14 is provided on the upper part of one of the insertion posts 13. The positioning component 14 includes a positioning post 15 and a fixing post 16. The bottom surface of the positioning post 15 is welded to the fixing post 16. The fixed column 16 has four anti-slip blocks 17 arranged at equal angles welded to its curved surface. The side of the four anti-slip blocks 17 is flush with the curved surface of the positioning column 15. The top surface of the four anti-slip blocks 17 is welded to the positioning column 15. The bottom surface of the fixed column 16 is connected to a stud 18, which is threaded to the plug-in column 13. The bottom surface of the germination box 1 has four positioning grooves 19 for the plug-in column 13 to be inserted into the positioning component 14. The diameter of the positioning column 15 is the same as the diameter of the plug-in column 13, so that the positioning component 14 can extend into the positioning groove 19.

[0034] To enable real-time observation, when forestry seeds are soaked and germinated in the germination chamber 1, the soaking and germination status of the forestry seeds is observed in real time through the viewing glass 2. When the temperature inside the germination chamber 1 is higher than the temperature outside the germination chamber 1, water mist will condense on the side of the viewing glass 2 inside the germination chamber 1, affecting the visibility of the viewing glass 2 and making it difficult to observe the germination status of the forestry seeds. The linear motor 10 provides power to move the slide plate 8 along the path of the slide rail 9. With the connection of the moving plate 4, the scraper 5 scrapes away the water mist condensed on the surface of the viewing glass 2 during the lateral movement, providing conditions for real-time observation of the germination status of the forestry seeds. The connecting rod 7 moves along the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 6, which can adjust the vertical position of the scraper 5, improve the contact tightness between the scraper 5 and the viewing glass 2, and thus enhance the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 3 on the water mist condensed on the surface of the viewing glass 2.

[0035] To facilitate stacking, the germination boxes 1 are often stored by directly stacking them after use, which easily leads to them falling over. To address this, the four insertion posts 13 of the lower germination box 1 extend into the four positioning grooves 19 of the upper germination box 1, providing stable support and fixing for vertically stacked germination boxes, preventing them from falling over and improving ease of use. Simultaneously, to prevent the four insertion posts 13 from needing to be simultaneously aligned with the four positioning grooves 19, which would be inconvenient for stacking, a [feature / design] is provided on the top surface of one of the insertion posts 13. The positioning component 14 can first extend into the positioning groove 19 to achieve initial positioning and alignment of the two stacked germination boxes 1, which facilitates the stacking and placement of the germination boxes 1 and further improves the ease of use of the germination boxes. The stud 18 is threadedly connected to the plug-in post 13, and the anti-slip slider 17 provides an anti-slip function, making it easy to manually push the anti-slip slider 17 to move and drive the fixed post 16 to rotate. This provides convenience for the disassembly and installation of the positioning component 14, allowing the positioning component 14 to be installed on the top surface of the plug-in post 13 at different positions to meet the usage requirements of stacking and placing the germination boxes.

[0036] The linear motor 10 is existing technology. Its working principle, size and model are not related to the function of this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model:

[0038] When observing the germination process, the soaking and germination status of forestry seeds in the germination box 1 can be observed in real time through the viewing glass 2. The linear motor 10 is started, and the moving part of the linear motor 10 drives the slide plate 8 to move along the path of the slide rail 9. Under the connection of the moving plate 4, the scraper 5 is driven to scrape away and clean the water mist condensed on the surface of the viewing glass 2. At the same time, the connecting rod 7 can move along the connecting sleeve 6 to increase the contact tightness between the scraper 5 and the viewing glass 2.

[0039] When stacking, the four plug-in pins 13 of the lower germination box 1 are aligned with the four positioning grooves 19 of the upper germination box 1. At the same time, the positioning component 14 on the top surface of one of the plug-in pins 13 extends into the positioning groove 19 first to position the plug-in pin 13. The stud 18 is threadedly connected to the plug-in pin 13 to fix the position of the positioning pin 15, the fixing pin 16, and the four anti-slip blocks 17.
