Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Soaking hybrid rice seeds is a crucial initial step in factory seedling production and modern seed production processes. Soaking allows seeds to absorb water quickly and evenly under controlled conditions, activating internal enzymes and preparing them for germination. During this process, the cleaning and disinfection of the soaking equipment is a core prerequisite for ensuring the effectiveness of the technology. If the equipment is not thoroughly cleaned, residual seed coating agents, organic matter, and pathogenic microorganisms can easily breed mold and form biofilms inside the warm and humid equipment. This not only becomes a continuous source of pollution, leading to cross-infection and severely reducing seed germination rates, but also easily causes phenotypic segregation in hybrid offspring due to mechanical mixing between seeds of different varieties, resulting in irreparable economic losses to breeding and production.

[0003] Currently, the rice seed soaking equipment commonly used in existing technologies mostly involves soaking in a soaking tank. The cleaning and disinfection work mainly relies on manual labor. After each batch of soaking is completed, operators need to use an external high-pressure water gun to repeatedly rinse and wash the inner wall of the tank. This method has significant drawbacks. First, the cleaning efficiency is low, the labor intensity is high, and it is difficult to adapt to the rhythm of large-scale and continuous production. Moreover, the cleaning effect is difficult to guarantee. The high-pressure water flow cannot effectively remove the sticky biofilm adhering to the tank wall, leaving hidden dangers for the growth of bacteria. Utility Model Content

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5A hybrid rice seed soaking device includes a tank body 1. The top surface of the tank body 1 has an installation groove 2. The interior of the tank body 1 is equipped with a cleaning structure for cleaning. The cleaning structure includes a movable rod 201 rotatably disposed inside the tank body 1. The movable rod 201 is L-shaped. Scrapers 202 are fixed to one side and the bottom surface of the movable rod 201, respectively fitting against the inner circular wall and the bottom surface of the tank body 1. The movable rod 201 has a hollow structure. Several nozzles 203 are connected and fixed to one side and the bottom surface of the movable rod 201. A rotary joint 204 is connected and fixed to the top of the movable rod 201. A water inlet pipe 205 is connected and fixed to the top of the rotary joint 204. The scraper 202 is a silicone scraper, which provides good scraping effect and is not prone to accumulating dirt, making it easy to rinse and clean. The water inlet pipe 205 is a retractable flexible hose and is connected and fixed to an external water injection device. The rotary joint 204 is existing technology.

[0024] In this embodiment, an external gear ring 206 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting groove 2. A connecting ring 207 is fixed to the top surface of the external gear ring 206. The movable rod 201 is fixed to the outer circular wall of the connecting ring 207. A gear 208 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting groove 2, and the gear 208 meshes with the external gear ring 206. A motor is fixed to the bottom surface of the barrel 1, and a connecting rod 209 is fixed to the output end of the motor. The top end of the connecting rod 209 penetrates the bottom surface of the barrel 1 and is fixed to the gear 208. The motor is a servo motor, and the motor drives the connecting rod. 209 performs cyclic forward and reverse rotation, causing gear 208 to drive the external gear ring 206 to rotate. The external gear ring 206 drives the movable rod 201 to rotate through the connecting ring 207. The movable rod 201 rotates cyclically clockwise and counterclockwise inside the barrel 1, causing the scraper 202 to scrape the inner wall of the barrel 1. At the same time, the external water injection device injects high-pressure water into the movable rod 201 through the water inlet pipe 205. The high-pressure water is sprayed out through several nozzles 203, realizing the simultaneous rinsing and scraping cleaning of the inner wall of the barrel 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, a limiting ring 3 is fixed inside the mounting groove 2. The outer circular wall of the limiting ring 3 is provided with an annular groove 301. The outer gear ring 206 and the connecting ring 207 are both rotatably arranged inside the annular groove 301. The limiting ring 3 limits the outer gear ring 206 through the annular groove 301 to ensure the stability of the outer gear ring 206 when it rotates.

[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of balls 4 are rotatably arranged on one side of the inner wall of the annular groove 301. The plurality of balls 4 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular groove 301. The plurality of balls 4 are all in contact with the inner circular wall of the outer gear ring 206. The balls 4 make the outer gear ring 206 rotate more smoothly and prevent obstruction.

[0027] In this embodiment, a placement rack 5 is provided inside the barrel 1. The top surface of the tray of the placement rack 5 is provided with several through holes 501. A hanging rope 502 is fixed to the top surface of the placement rack 5, and a support block 503 is fixed to the bottom surface of the placement rack 5. The support block 503 is semi-circular. A conical groove 504 is provided inside the bottom surface of the barrel 1. The support block 503 is slidably inserted into the conical groove 504. Workers can place bagged rice seeds into the placement rack 5, and then use the hoisting equipment and the hanging rope 502 to soak the seeds in the placement rack 5. Adding a support block at the bottom center of the placement rack 5 can improve its stress condition and rotational stability, so that the rotation axis can be fixed and avoid shaking and collision.

[0028] In this embodiment, the top surface of the movable rod 201 is provided with a snap-fit ​​notch 6, and the top surface of the placement rack 5 is fixed with a pin 601. The pin 601 is slidably inserted into the snap-fit ​​notch 6. When the seeds are soaking, the staff can start the motor again to drive the movable rod 201 to rotate, so that the contaminants are not easily attached to the barrel wall during the soaking process. At the same time, the cooperation between the snap-fit ​​notch 6 and the pin 601 drives the placement rack 5 to rotate, so that the water in the barrel 1 can soak the rice seeds more quickly.

[0029] Working principle: After completing the soaking operation of a batch of seeds, the cleaning mode of the equipment is activated. At this time, the servo motor fixed on the bottom surface of the tank 1 begins to rotate forward and reverse periodically, driving the connecting rod 209 and the gear 208 fixed on its top to rotate synchronously. Since the gear 208 meshes with the external gear ring 206 in the mounting groove 2, the rotation of the gear 208 will drive the external gear ring 206 to rotate along the annular groove 301 opened on the limiting ring 3. Multiple balls 4 set on the inner wall of the annular groove 301 fit against the inner wall of the external gear ring 206, ensuring the smoothness and stability of its rotation process.

[0030] The external gear ring 206 drives the movable rod 201 to rotate periodically clockwise and counterclockwise inside the barrel 1 through the connecting ring 207 at the top. The movable rod 201 has an L-shaped structure, and the silicone scrapers 202 fixedly installed on its side and bottom are always in close contact with the inner circular wall and bottom surface of the barrel 1. During the rotation of the movable rod 201, the two scrapers 202 can thoroughly scrape the inner wall of the barrel 1, effectively removing the biofilm and impurities attached to it.

[0031] Meanwhile, the external water injection device continuously injects high-pressure water into the hollow movable rod 201 through the retractable water inlet pipe 205 and the rotary joint 204. The high-pressure water is sprayed outward through several nozzles 203 distributed on the side and bottom of the movable rod 201. This design achieves mechanical scraping by the scraper 202, supplemented by the impact rinsing of the high-pressure water flow. The cleaning action and water flushing work together to achieve a more thorough and efficient cleaning of the inner wall of the tank 1. After cleaning, the drain hole can be opened to discharge the sewage.

[0032] When soaking seeds, staff can place bagged seeds in the tray of the placement rack 5. The perforation 501 on the tray ensures smooth water flow. By using the hoisting equipment in conjunction with the hoisting rope 502 on the top of the placement rack 5, the seeds can be steadily lowered into the soaking solution in the barrel 1. At this time, the snap-fit ​​notch 6 on the top of the movable rod 201 and the pin 601 on the top of the placement rack 5 are slidably inserted into each other.

[0033] During the soaking process, the motor can be restarted to drive the movable rod 201 to rotate slowly at a low speed. The rotation of the movable rod 201, on the one hand, causes disturbance to the water body by itself and the scraper 202, preventing pollutants from being deposited on the barrel wall too early. On the other hand, through the transmission of the locking notch 6 and the pin 601, the movable rod 201 synchronously drives the placement rack 5 and the seeds inside it to rotate slowly in the barrel. This movement can break the static state of the water body, promote more full contact and exchange between the water flow and the seeds in the barrel, so that the water flow can soak each rice seed faster and more evenly, improving the soaking efficiency and effect.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
