Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed soaking device technology, and in particular to a seed soaking and disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern agricultural breeding and planting, seed pretreatment is particularly crucial. Soaking, in particular, is a vital step in enhancing seed water absorption, activating embryo activity, and promoting germination rate. The quality of this treatment directly impacts the germination rate and subsequent crop growth. However, traditional small-scale seed soaking devices often employ static soaking methods, which present the following significant problems:

[0003] 1. Seeds pile up and soak unevenly: Seeds tend to pile up in static liquid, causing some seeds to be at the bottom or covered by other seeds, resulting in uneven water absorption and affecting the uniformity of germination.

[0004] 2. Insufficient oxygen supply and unstable dissolved oxygen: Static soaking cannot effectively increase the dissolved oxygen content in the water. Seeds are prone to anaerobic fermentation in an oxygen-deficient environment, which inhibits germination and may even cause the seeds to rot.

[0005] 3. Frequent manual intervention and low efficiency: To improve the above problems, traditional methods rely on manual stirring and periodic turning of seeds, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to ensure the consistency of operation and treatment effect.

[0006] 4. Poor liquid circulation and insufficient nutrient solution renewal: The lack of an effective liquid circulation mechanism in the single soaking system leads to uneven distribution of nutrient solution or pesticide solution, affecting the seed disinfection and nutrient absorption effect.

[0007] To address these issues, we propose a seed soaking and disinfection device. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a seed soaking and disinfection device.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A seed soaking and disinfection device includes a support base, a seed soaking box fixed to the upper end of the support base, a rotating device installed on one side of the seed soaking box, a filter box connected to one end of the rotating device, a second cover installed on the filter box, one end of the filter box rotatably connected to one side inside the seed soaking box, a first cover hinged to the upper end of the seed soaking box, a circulation mechanism connected to one side of the lower end of the seed soaking box, one end of the circulation mechanism connected to the upper end of the first cover, ultrasonic generators fixed on both sides of the seed soaking box, and two ultrasonic generators corresponding to each other, and an oxygenation mechanism installed at one end of the seed soaking box, one end of the oxygenation mechanism connected to the lower end of the seed soaking box.

[0011] Preferably, the rotating device includes a motor mounting base fixed to one side of the soaking tank, a drive motor is mounted on the upper end of the motor mounting base, and the end of the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the side wall of the soaking tank and is connected to one side of the filter box.

[0012] Preferably, the circulation mechanism includes a circulation pump connected to one side of the lower end of the soaking tank, one end of the circulation pump is connected to a circulation pipe, one end of the circulation pipe is connected to a conical spray nozzle, and the conical spray nozzle is installed on the upper end of the first cover.

[0013] Preferably, the oxygenation mechanism includes a blower installed on one side of the upper end of the seed soaking box, an air supply pipe connected to the lower end of the blower, a connecting pipe connected to one end of the air supply pipe, a circular fixing pipe fixed to the lower end of the seed soaking box, a plurality of nozzles fixed at equal intervals around the circumference of the circular fixing pipe, and the two ends of the connecting pipe connected to the circular fixing pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the upper end of the filter box is hinged with a second cover, which is connected by a locking mechanism, and the second cover and the filter box are provided with multiple filter holes at equal intervals on the circumferential side wall.

[0015] Preferably, a discharge pipe is connected to the lower end of the seed soaking tank, an electric valve is installed on the discharge pipe, and a handle is fixed to the upper end of the circulation pipe.

[0016] In this invention, during seed soaking:

[0017] 1. Seed loading and sealing stage:

[0018] Open the first and second caps, put the seeds to be treated into the filter box, close the second cap and fix it with the locking mechanism to prevent liquid leakage or seed overflow during the treatment process, and inject an appropriate amount of soaking solution, disinfectant, nutrient solution, etc. into the soaking box.

[0019] 2. Automatic flipping process:

[0020] The drive motor drives the filter box to rotate periodically via the connecting shaft, once every 5 minutes, to realize the automatic turning and dispersion of seeds. The turning can effectively prevent seed accumulation, increase the contact area between seeds and liquid, and enhance water absorption efficiency.

[0021] 3. Liquid circulation spraying stage:

[0022] The circulating pump delivers the soaking solution from the bottom to the conical spray hood through the circulating pipe. The solution is then returned to the top of the seed soaking tank in the form of atomization or spraying through the nozzle. This process not only achieves the recycling of the liquid, but also enhances the contact between the liquid and the seeds through spraying, thereby improving the uniformity of soaking.

[0023] 4. Ultrasound-assisted stage:

[0024] Two opposing ultrasonic generators work simultaneously on both sides of the box to generate high-frequency vibration waves. The ultrasonic waves can break the air film on the seed coat, increase liquid permeability, promote rapid water absorption by the seeds, and shorten germination time.

[0025] 5. Oxygenation and oxygen supply stage:

[0026] The blower delivers air to a circular fixed pipe via an air supply pipe and connecting pipe. The air is then evenly released to the bottom of the chamber through multiple inclined nozzles. Oxygen forms microbubbles in the liquid, increasing the dissolved oxygen level and promoting healthy seed germination in an oxygen-rich environment.

[0027] 6. Liquid filtration and discharge stage:

[0028] Multiple filter holes are provided on the filter box and the second cover to filter impurities simultaneously during the processing, ensuring the cleanliness of the liquid. After the processing is completed, the electric valve on the discharge pipe is opened to discharge the soaking liquid, which is convenient for cleaning and the next batch of processing.

[0029] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0030] 1. By using the periodic flipping of the filter box, combined with spray circulation and ultrasonic assistance, the problems of seed accumulation and poor liquid penetration are effectively solved, significantly improving the uniformity of seed water absorption, shortening the soaking time, and improving the uniformity and efficiency of soaking.

[0031] 2. The oxygenation mechanism continuously supplies oxygen to ensure that the seeds are soaked in an oxygen-rich environment, avoiding seed fermentation and rotting caused by anaerobic environment, and improving the germination success rate.

[0032] 3. Fully automated control of the process, eliminating the need for manual stirring or turning, saving manpower and improving operational consistency and processing efficiency;

[0033] In summary, this invention effectively solves the problems of seed accumulation and poor liquid penetration, significantly improves the uniformity of seed water absorption, shortens soaking time, enhances soaking uniformity and efficiency, ensures that seeds are soaked in an oxygen-rich environment, avoids seed fermentation and rot caused by anaerobic environment, improves germination success rate, eliminates the need for manual stirring or turning, saves manpower, and improves operational consistency and processing efficiency.
