[0022] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the following will be a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] A germination water supply pipe according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG1 , with reference to FIG2 and FIG3 , comprises a pipe 1 , one end of which is provided with a blind hole, and an outer surface of the pipe 1 is provided with one or more overflow grooves 11 communicating with the blind hole; the pipe 1 is composed of a first pipe strip 12 and a second pipe strip 13 detachably connected; the first pipe strip 12 and the second pipe strip 13 are both provided with a slot 100 , and the two slots 100 enclose each other to form a blind hole;
[0024] By adopting the pipeline structure of the present application, water is introduced into the blind hole during use, and water pressure is used to make water flow out of the overflow trough 11 to provide moisture for seed germination. The direct water supply method can make the overall pipe diameter smaller, the water supply uniformity is higher, and it can be easily disassembled for cleaning, which is convenient for maintenance.
[0025] The first pipe strip 12 is provided with a first connecting surface 120, and the second pipe 13 is provided with a second connecting surface 130. Both the first connecting surface 120 and the second connecting surface 130 are provided with a groove 100. The first connecting surface 120 and the second connecting surface 130 can be provided in a planar form or a non-planar form. The overflow groove 11 can be a gap formed by the splicing of the first connecting surface 120 and the second connecting surface 130, or can be provided as a groove formed at the splicing position of the first connecting surface 120 and the second connecting surface 130.
[0026] Of course, in the former embodiment of the overflow trough 11, the overflow trough 11 has a longer length, the water discharge is more uniform, and the arrangement is more concise, and it can also effectively prevent the sprouts from entering the interior of the pipe 1;
[0027] In the latter embodiment of the overflow trough 11, the overflow trough 11 has better water outlet targeting; the two methods are selected according to actual needs and are both within the scope of protection of this application;
[0028] In addition, when the latter overflow groove 11 is adopted, the overflow groove can also be separately provided at the joint position of the first connecting surface 120 and the second connecting surface 130 .
[0029] The first connecting surface 120 and the second connecting surface 130 are provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 121 on one side, and a positioning groove 131 cooperating with the positioning protrusions 121 on the other side. This design can be used for more precise positioning to avoid relative displacement of the first pipeline strip 12 and the second pipeline strip 13.
[0030] There are multiple positioning ridges 121 on both sides of the groove 100, and if the multiple positioning ridges 121 are arranged in a strip-shaped interval, the structure is relatively simple; with this structural design, the resistance to water outlet at the interval between the two positioning ridges 121 will be smaller. During use, if the external water pressure does not exceed a certain pressure value, water will mainly flow out from this place. If the external water pressure exceeds a certain pressure value, water will also seep out from other gap positions, thereby forming two water outlet modes that rely on external pressure to adjust the water outlet.
[0031] Multiple first card slots 122 are provided on both sides of the first pipe bar 12, and multiple first card buckles 132 corresponding to the first card slots 122 are provided on both sides of the second pipe bar 13. With this layout, the connection force can be better dispersed, making the detachable connection more reliable.
[0032] In order to ensure the reliability of the detachable connection at the end position, a second buckle 133 may be provided at one of the tail ends of the first pipe strip 12 and the tail end of the second pipe strip 13, and a second slot 123 that cooperates with the second buckle may be provided at the other end.
[0033] Of course, the specific structure of the above-mentioned snap connection can adopt the existing conventional structure. In addition to the snap connection method, other existing detachable connection methods can also be adopted, such as clamping the first pipe bar and the second pipe bar by clamping, or adopting a strong magnetic adsorption method, etc.
[0034] The outer surface of the pipe 1 is provided with a plurality of long concave grooves 14, and the length direction of the concave grooves 14 is consistent with the length direction of the pipe 1; the setting of the concave grooves 14 is used to reduce the weight of the pipe 1 and at the same time reduce the volume of the pipe 1 to leave more space for seed germination. Secondly, after adopting this structural design, the overflow trough 11 is disguisedly extended into the interior of the seed pile, thereby enabling better water supply.
[0035] In order to facilitate the assembly of the pipe 1 and the germination drum, positioning steps 15 are formed at both ends of the pipe 1, and the pipe is placed and moved back and forth by relying on the positioning steps; preferably, one end of the pipe 1 can also be set to a non-cylindrical shape, such as a prismatic shape, etc.
[0036] A germination drum is shown in FIG4 , and referring to FIG5 at the same time, the germination drum 4 is provided with the germination water supply pipe 3 as described above.
[0037] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all such improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.
