Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In rice breeding, seed soaking is a key pretreatment step, the purpose of which is to improve the germination rate and subsequent seedling growth through disinfection, germination promotion or nutrient supplementation.

[0003] However, existing rice seed soaking devices have shortcomings in practical applications: most devices adopt a single soaking chamber design, which cannot simultaneously process different batches, different varieties, or seeds that require differentiated soaking conditions, resulting in low breeding efficiency and difficulty in meeting the needs of multiple comparative experiments or batch breeding. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a rice breeding soaking device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rice breeding soaking device, comprising a soaking tank, a base provided at the bottom of the soaking tank, a partition provided inside the soaking tank dividing the inner cavity into four equal areas for soaking rice seeds, filter cylinders placed in the four soaking areas inside the soaking tank for loading rice seeds, a water discharge component provided in each soaking area of ​​the soaking tank for draining water, and a lifting component provided in each soaking area of ​​the soaking tank for lifting the filter cylinders loaded with rice seeds.

[0006] Preferably, the outer surface of the soaking tank is provided with a slide rail, and the inner wall of the slide rail is slidably connected with a driving component for driving the lifting assembly to lift the filter cylinder loaded with rice.

[0007] Preferably, the driving component includes a sliding block that slides within a slide rail and a first gear. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding block, and the first gear is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod. A throttle handle is connected to the top of the first gear.

[0008] Preferably, the water discharge assembly includes a large-diameter pipe, a small-diameter pipe, and a hollow float. The bottom of the soaking tank is provided with a large-diameter pipe, the top of the large-diameter pipe is connected to a small-diameter pipe, one side of the large-diameter pipe is connected to a drain pipe, the drain pipe passes through the soaking tank and extends to one end of the soaking tank where a valve is provided, the inner wall of the large-diameter pipe is placed with a hollow float, and the outer surface of the hollow float is fixedly connected to a lifting component.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the partition. The lifting component includes a pull rod and a limiting cap. One end of the pull rod, passing through the connecting plate, is connected to a hollow float. The end of the pull rod, away from the hollow float and located above the connecting plate, is fixedly connected to the limiting cap. When water is added to the soaking tank, the water in the soaking tank overflows the small-diameter pipe and enters the large-diameter pipe. At this time, the water inside the large-diameter pipe rises, causing the hollow float to rise. The rising hollow float blocks the connection between the small-diameter pipe and the large-diameter pipe. When the rice seeds are soaked, simply press the limiting cap. The limiting cap drives the pull rod to squeeze the hollow float, so that the hollow float no longer blocks the connection between the small-diameter pipe and the large-diameter pipe. Water can then flow from the large-diameter pipe to the drain pipe. Opening the valve allows for rapid drainage.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a screw, which is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the soaking tank. A nut block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the screw, and a bearing plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the nut block. A slider fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bearing plate is slidably connected to a groove opened on the partition plate.

[0011] Preferably, a second gear is fixedly connected to the top end of the screw, and the second gear meshes with the first gear.

[0012] Preferably, the filter cartridge has a fan-shaped cross-section, and handles are provided on both sides of the top of the filter cartridge.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. In this utility model, the inner cavity of the soaking tank is divided into four sealed equal areas by a partition. Each area can be individually fitted with a filter cartridge and injected with different soaking solutions. This allows for the simultaneous processing of rice seeds of different batches, varieties, or requiring differentiated soaking conditions. It effectively solves the problem of low efficiency of traditional single-cavity devices, meets the operational needs of multiple comparative experiments or batch breeding, and greatly improves the flexibility and efficiency of the rice breeding soaking process.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the hollow float in the water discharge assembly can automatically block the small-diameter pipe as the liquid level rises during liquid addition, thereby achieving automatic control of the soaking liquid level and preventing overflow. During drainage, simply pressing the limit cap will push the hollow float out of the blockage, and the drainage speed can be controlled by the valve. There is no need to manually insert or remove the plug, making the operation convenient and the drainage thorough. This solves the problems of cumbersome drainage and residual liquid pollution in traditional devices, and reduces the labor intensity of operators.

[0015] 3. In this utility model, the lifting component, through the cooperation of the driving component and the transmission structure, drives the bearing plate to rise smoothly along the slide groove, which can slowly lift the filter cartridge to the opening of the soaking tank. This eliminates the need for operators to manually reach into the soaking area to pick up or place the filter cartridge, completely avoiding mechanical damage to the seeds caused by manual handling. It also reduces direct contact between hands and the soaking solution, improving operational safety. The handle design on the top of the filter cartridge further simplifies the process of picking up and placing the filter cartridge, preventing tilting and seed leakage.

[0017] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a rice breeding soaking device includes a soaking tank 1. The soaking tank 1 is made of food-grade polyethylene, which is odorless, resistant to corrosion from commonly used rice breeding soaking solutions, and can avoid chemical contamination of the seeds. Furthermore, the material is highly resilient and does not easily crack with long-term use. A base 11, made of stainless steel, is installed at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. The upper surface of the base 11 is fixed to the lower surface of the soaking tank 1 by bolts. Rubber washers are fitted at the bolt connections to enhance the sealing and reduce vibration transmission. A uniformly thick rubber anti-slip pad with textured surfaces is adhered to the lower surface of the base 11 to increase friction with the ground and prevent the device from sliding during water addition or operation.

[0018] The soaking tank 1 is equipped with a partition 3, which is also made of food-grade polyethylene. The partition 3 is hot-melt welded to the inner wall of the soaking tank 1. The welded edges are polished and sealed to ensure that the water in the four soaking areas is completely isolated, preventing the soaking solutions from mixing and ensuring an independent soaking environment for the seeds in each area. The partition 3 divides the inner cavity of the soaking tank 1 into four equal areas, and each area can be soaked separately, which is suitable for rice seeds of different batches or different treatment needs.

[0019] Each soaking area is equipped with a filter cylinder 4, which is used to hold rice seeds. The filter cylinder 4 is made of nylon, which is wear-resistant and breathable. The side walls and bottom of the filter cylinder 4 are densely perforated, with the pore size controlled to be smaller than the minimum particle size of the rice seeds. This prevents seeds from leaking out while allowing the soaking solution to flow smoothly into and out of the filter cylinder 4, ensuring full contact with the seeds. Each side of the top of the filter cylinder 4 is equipped with a handle 41, made of stainless steel. The ends of the handle 41 are welded to the top edge of the filter cylinder 4, with no burrs at the weld. The surface of the handle 41 is polished for easy gripping by operators and to prevent hand injuries.

[0020] Each soaking area is equipped with a drain assembly 5 for drainage and a lifting assembly 6 for lifting the filter cartridge 4. The outer surface of the soaking tank 1 is fitted with a slide rail 2, made of stainless steel. The slide rail 2 is fixed to the outer surface of the soaking tank 1 by countersunk bolts. The length of the slide rail 2 is the same as the height of the soaking tank 1. A drive component is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 2, which drives the lifting assembly 6. The drive component includes a sliding block that slides within the slide rail 2 and a first gear 65. The sliding block is made of nylon and its shape fits snugly against the inner wall of the slide rail 2, allowing for smooth sliding. A mounting hole is opened at the top of the sliding block, into which a bearing is installed. The lower end of the rotating rod 7 is inserted into and fixed to the inner ring of the bearing. The rotating rod 7 is made of stainless steel and can rotate flexibly around its own axis. The outer surface of the rotating rod 7 is connected to and fixed with the first gear 65 by a key. The first gear 65 is made of stainless steel with smooth tooth surface, which makes it less likely to jam during transmission. The top of the first gear 65 is connected to the handle, which is made of hard plastic. The handle is threaded to the top of the rotating rod 7. The surface of the handle has anti-slip texture, which makes it easy for the operator to apply force to rotate.

[0021] The water discharge assembly 5 consists of a large-diameter pipe 51, a small-diameter pipe 52, and a hollow float 55. Both the large-diameter pipe 51 and the small-diameter pipe 52 are made of PVC. PVC is resistant to the corrosion of the soaking solution and is inexpensive, making it suitable for long-term contact with water. The bottom of the soaking tank 1 has mounting holes corresponding to each soaking area. The upper end of the large-diameter pipe 51 is inserted into the mounting hole and heat-welded to the bottom of the soaking tank 1 for sealing. The lower end of the small-diameter pipe 52 is threaded to the top of the large-diameter pipe 51. Teflon tape is wrapped around the connection to enhance the seal and prevent leakage. A drain pipe 53, also made of PVC, is connected to one side of the large-diameter pipe 51. One end of the drain pipe 53 is threaded to the side wall of the large-diameter pipe 51, and the other end penetrates the side wall of the soaking tank 1 and extends to the outside. A rubber sealing ring is installed at the penetration point to prevent the soaking solution from leaking through the gaps. A valve 54 is installed at one end of the drain pipe 53. The valve 54 is a stainless steel ball valve, which is threaded to the drain pipe 53. The handle of the valve 54 is made of plastic for easy manual opening and closing to control the drainage speed. A hollow float 55 is placed inside the large-diameter pipe 51. The hollow float 55 is made of foam plastic and wrapped with a rubber membrane to enhance waterproofness and wear resistance. The diameter of the hollow float 55 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the large-diameter pipe 51, allowing it to move smoothly up and down inside the pipe. A lifting component is connected to the outer surface of the hollow float 55. The lifting component includes a pull rod 56 and a limit cap 57. The pull rod 56 is made of stainless steel, and its lower end is glued to the top of the hollow float 55. Waterproof adhesive is applied to the glued joint to prevent it from falling off. The upper end of the pull rod 56 passes through the connecting plate 31, which is made of stainless steel. The connecting plate 31 is welded and fixed to the outer surface of the partition plate 3. The connecting plate 31 has a through hole for the pull rod 56 to pass through, and the inner wall of the through hole is polished to reduce friction when the pull rod 56 moves. A limit cap 57 is fixed above the connecting plate 31 at the upper end of the pull rod 56. The limit cap 57 is made of hard plastic and is threaded to the top of the pull rod 56 for easy disassembly and replacement.

[0022] The lifting assembly 6 includes a screw 61, which is made of stainless steel and galvanized for rust prevention and extended service life. The screw 61 is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the soaking tank 1. Each soaking area has a corresponding mounting groove on the bottom wall of the soaking tank 1, containing a deep groove ball bearing. The lower end of the screw 61 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing with an interference fit to ensure stable rotation. A nut block 62, made of stainless steel, is threaded onto the outer surface of the screw 61. Its internal thread matches the external thread of the screw 61, allowing it to move up and down along the screw 61 as it rotates. A bearing plate 63, made of stainless steel and circular in shape, is welded to the outer surface of the nut block 62. Its diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the soaking area. A rubber anti-slip pad is attached to the upper surface of the bearing plate 63 to prevent the filter cartridge 4 from sliding during placement. A slider 64, made of nylon, is bolted to the outer surface of the support plate 63. A groove matching the slider 64 is cut into the partition plate 3, extending along the height of the partition plate 3. The slider 64 slides within the groove, ensuring that the support plate 63 does not deviate when moving up and down. A second gear 71, made of stainless steel, is welded to the top of the screw 61. The second gear 71 meshes with the first gear 65, with matching teeth, ensuring that the rotation of the first gear 65 synchronously drives the second gear 71 and the screw 61 to rotate.

[0023] Working Principle: When using this rice breeding soaking device for seed soaking, the first step is preparation: Rice seeds from different batches or requiring different treatments are loaded into four filter cylinders 4 according to breeding needs. During the loading process, the nylon material of the filter cylinders 4 and the filter holes on the side walls and bottom prevent seed leakage, while allowing the soaking solution to enter smoothly into the filter cylinders 4. The seed-loaded filter cylinders 4 are then placed one by one into the four soaking areas separated by the partition 3 within the soaking tank 1. The filter cylinders 4 are placed directly on the support plate 63. The rubber anti-slip pads on the support plate 63 prevent the filter cylinders 4 from sliding due to slight vibrations during subsequent solution addition or soaking, ensuring that the filter cylinders 4 remain stably within the soaking area.

[0024] Next, the solution addition process is performed: the required soaking solution for breeding is slowly added to each soaking area. As the solution level gradually rises, when the level exceeds the top of the small-diameter pipe 52, the solution flows into the large-diameter pipe 51 through the small-diameter pipe 52. As the amount of solution in the large-diameter pipe 51 increases, the hollow float 55 inside the pipe gradually moves upward under buoyancy until the top of the hollow float 55 is tightly fitted with the lower opening of the small-diameter pipe 52, completely blocking the connection between the small-diameter pipe 52 and the large-diameter pipe 51. At this point, the addition of solution to that soaking area is stopped. This design can automatically control the maximum level of the soaking solution, preventing excessive overflow of the soaking area, while ensuring that the solution level in each soaking area is consistent, providing a uniform soaking environment for the seeds. The same steps are followed to add solution to the other three soaking areas. Due to the sealing and isolation effect of the partition 3, the soaking solutions in the four areas will not mix, which can meet the differentiated soaking needs of different seeds.

[0025] Then the soaking stage begins: During the preset soaking time, the soaking solution will continuously contact the seeds through the filter holes of the filter cartridge 4, providing the seeds with the environment required for disinfection and germination. The nylon material of the filter cartridge 4 is resistant to the corrosion of the soaking solution and can maintain structural stability for a long time, ensuring that the seeds are always in a suitable soaking environment throughout the soaking process. If it is necessary to observe the seed status during this period, it can be viewed directly through the transparent soaking tank 1 without interrupting the soaking.

[0026] Once the soaking time reaches the preset value, the drainage operation is performed: the operator presses down on the limit cap 57 of the corresponding soaking area drainage component 5, the limit cap 57 drives the pull rod 56 to move downward, the lower end of the pull rod 56 squeezes the hollow float 55, causing the hollow float 55 to detach downward from the connection between the small diameter pipe 52 and the large diameter pipe 51, at which time the soaking liquid in the soaking area will flow quickly into the large diameter pipe 51 through the small diameter pipe 52, and then flow out from the drain pipe 53 on one side of the large diameter pipe 51. The operator can control the drainage speed by opening the stainless steel ball valve 54 on the drain pipe 53. If rapid drainage is required, the valve 54 can be fully opened. If slow drainage is required to observe the seed status, the opening of the valve 54 can be adjusted appropriately. After the soaking liquid in the soaking area is basically drained, the valve 54 is closed. The same steps are followed to complete the drainage of other soaking areas. During the drainage process, the PVC material of the large-diameter pipe 51 and the drain pipe 53 is resistant to the corrosion of the soaking liquid, which can prevent the pipes from being damaged due to long-term contact with the soaking liquid. The rubber sealing ring at the penetration can also prevent the soaking liquid from leaking from the gaps and keep the environment around the device dry.

[0027] Finally, the filter cartridge 4 is lifted and the seeds are removed: the sliding block of the drive unit moves up and down along the slide rail 2 on the outer surface of the soaking tank 1, so that the first gear 65 in the drive unit aligns with and meshes with the second gear 71 of the corresponding soaking area lifting component 6. At this time, the operator holds the handle and turns it clockwise. The handle drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The rotating rod 7 drives the first gear 65 to rotate synchronously through the key connection. The second gear 71, which meshes with the first gear 65, rotates accordingly, thereby driving the screw 61 to rotate around its own axis. Since the screw 61 is threadedly connected to the nut block 62, and the slider 64 on the bearing plate 63 is embedded in the slide groove of the partition plate 3, the sliding fit between the slider 64 and the slide groove restricts the rotation of the nut block 62 with the screw 61, so that the nut block 62 moves upward along the axis of the screw 61. The nut block 62 drives the bearing plate 63 to move upward synchronously, and the filter cartridge 4 on the bearing plate 63 also rises slowly. When the filter cylinder 4 rises to the opening of the soaking tank 1 and the bottom of the filter cylinder 4 is completely detached from the bottom of the soaking area, stop turning the handle. At this time, the operator holds the stainless steel handle 41 on the top of the filter cylinder 4 and removes the filter cylinder 4 from the soaking area. The polished surface of the handle 41 can prevent scratches to the hands. After removing the filter cylinder 4, the seeds in the filter cylinder 4 can be poured into the subsequent treatment equipment to complete the entire rice seed soaking operation. Follow the same steps to raise and remove the filter cylinders 4 of the other three soaking areas in sequence. If the device needs to be used again later, the empty filter cylinder 4 can be placed back on the support plate 63, and the handle can be turned in the opposite direction to make the support plate 63 drive the filter cylinder 4 down to the bottom of the soaking area, and then the next round of seed loading, liquid addition and soaking operation can be carried out.
