Description

    The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for forming germinated seeds.

  An artificial slope created by opening up a mountain or piling up the soil is called a slope, but in constructing structures in the mountain, how to quickly green the slope that occurred is an important issue. . In addition, slope revegetation is often aimed at disaster recovery and disaster prevention, and the effect of disaster prevention increases with the growth of plants, so early germination and early growth are extremely important issues.

Usually, seeds for greening the slope are sown in a dormant state. In other words, a vegetation base spraying work is generally performed by mixing dormant seeds with spraying material.
However, dormant seeds have a low germination rate, and as a result, they are often forced to “double spray” (re-spraying). Moreover, since the vegetation base spraying works on the basis of the germination state when about 2 to 3 months have passed since construction, there is a risk that the outflow of the base and the seeds will be lost due to rainfall during this period.

  In order to compensate for the low germination rate, a method of increasing the sowing amount of dormant seeds is adopted, but there is a problem that the construction cost increases, and in order to prevent the dormant seeds from flowing away due to rainfall Although a technique for increasing the concentration of the soil stabilizer (glue) may be employed, it is not appropriate because the seed becomes hard to germinate as a result of the firm base.

In recent years, in order to maintain harmony with the surrounding environment and to preserve the forest ecosystem, high quality greening by trees (forest department) has been demanded. Conservation of the forest environment and harmony with the surrounding environment are important issues. It has become. For example, in remote islands such as Okinawa, public works that require the use of locally harvested wood seeds are increasing. However, dormant seeds of woody trees are not only relatively effective in unit price, but woody trees have a problem that the germination rate is low and the number of germination days is long compared to other kinds.
JP 07-255219 A

  By the way, although it differs from the above-mentioned slope planting, it is partially adopted that a dormant seed is germinated and used for agricultural purposes. Here, sprouting refers to activating dormant seeds to a state immediately before germination by artificially giving moisture, temperature and oxygen. Therefore, it is considered that if this germination is used, the germination rate can be improved and the number of germination days can be shortened in the case of slope planting.

As a device for promoting such sprouting, there is a sprouting machine shown in Patent Document 1. This sprouting machine is equipped with a tank that immerses the sprouting object in warm water and a circulation device that circulates the warm water in the tank, and in order to supply oxygen to the sprouting object in the tank, A configuration in which hot water is sprinkled from above the tank is adopted. With this configuration, moisture, temperature, and oxygen are artificially given to the sprouting target to activate the state immediately before germination.
However, according to this sprouting machine, since the seeds, which are objects stored in a net bag or the like, are used while immersed in the tank, the seeds always remain immersed in a predetermined position. Also, when processing multiple varieties at the same time, a plurality of net bags corresponding to the multiple varieties are stacked in the tank, so that the seeds in the net bags are fixed at a predetermined position and cannot move. Become. Therefore, there are seeds that cannot sufficiently take up oxygen as compared with other seeds, and there is a possibility that the oxygen supply rate in each child becomes uneven.

  Moreover, although oxygen is supplied into the tank by means of watering from above the tank, the net bag itself containing seeds is in a state of being stacked and immersed in the tank, so that oxygen in the atmosphere is effectively taken up. It ’s difficult. Furthermore, since many impurities are generated during the germination of seeds, it becomes an environment where germs are likely to be generated. However, since this germination machine does not have a water supply / drainage function, it cannot effectively prevent germs.

  The present invention was created in view of the above, and specifically, is an apparatus for forming a sprouting seed to be sown for the purpose of greening vegetation and seedling production in agriculture and forestry, and automatically supplies and drains water periodically. A water tank having an automatic water supply / drainage function to be performed, a heater for raising the temperature in the water tank, and a cartridge having a large number of through-holes on the peripheral surface, and the cartridge is immersed in water and exposed on the water surface A sprouting seed forming device is provided so that the state can be moved alternately.

  A feature of the present invention is that a seed to be sown in advance for the purpose of producing green vegetation, seedlings or agricultural seedlings is germinated in advance, and a water tank having an automatic water supply / drainage function for automatically supplying and draining water periodically, and the water tank It is equipped with a heater that raises the temperature (water temperature) inside and a cartridge that can move from the water to the surface of the water in the water tank, and the cartridge can be moved alternately between the water and the surface of the water, so it is stored in the cartridge. Germination can be promoted by providing moisture and temperature (heat) in water and effectively providing oxygen on the water surface (in the atmosphere). In particular, at the beginning of germination activity, there are many impurities from seeds and there is a risk that oxygen in water is insufficient. However, according to the present invention, oxygen can be effectively given on the water surface (in the atmosphere). It becomes an effective means for shortage.

And since it is a water tank which has an automatic water supply / drainage function and performs water supply / drainage automatically regularly, the possibility that various germs may generate | occur | produce can be prevented as much as possible. As described above, there are many impurities from the seeds at the beginning of germination and there is a risk of lack of oxygen in the water, but according to the automatic water supply / drainage function of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the possibility of generation of germs as much as possible. Therefore, it becomes an effective means against oxygen shortage.
Furthermore, since the cartridge that can move from the water in the aquarium to the surface of the water is provided, the seed coat is easily damaged when the seeds in the cartridge come into contact with each other during the movement of the cartridge (as a result, the seed coat is peeled off). Easily), if the shell is damaged, the water absorption is improved. Therefore, for example, hard seeds such as woods can be expected to promote germination. In other words, when the net bag is fixed in a state where it is stacked in the tank as in the above prior art, the seed coat is not damaged and there is no room for improvement in water absorption in this sense. The invention can be said to improve the water absorption of seeds.

  The present invention also includes a water tank having an automatic water supply / drainage function that automatically supplies and discharges water periodically, a rotating casing that is rotatably provided in the water tank, a heater that raises the temperature in the water tank, and the rotation A germinated seed comprising a plurality of cartridges that are detachable from a housing and have a large number of through-holes on a peripheral surface thereof, wherein the cartridges are provided so as to be able to move alternately in water and on the water surface. Forming device.

  According to the present invention, since the rotating housing performs a rotational motion, oxygen in the atmosphere can be fed into the water. Moreover, since the cartridges rotating in the water tank are alternately moved from the water to the surface of the water, all of the cartridges are exposed to the surface without being submerged. Can be given effectively.

  In addition, since the seeds in the cartridge are agitated by the rotational movement of the rotating housing, oxygen and temperature (heat) can be uniformly applied to the seeds. In addition, since a plurality of cartridges are provided, a plurality of types of seeds can be processed simultaneously. Furthermore, since the germination time (period until germination) varies depending on the seed type, the cartridge of the present invention is detachable, so that the germination can be taken out in order from the completed one. In this respect, since it can be taken out when exposed on the water surface, the taking-out work is also easy.

Moreover, this invention is the germination seed formation apparatus which provided the heat retention cover in the water tank and provided the light-emitting lamp inside the heat retention cover.
According to the present invention, since the water tank is provided with the heat insulation cover, heat dissipation in the water tank can be prevented. In addition, since the light-emitting lamp is provided inside the heat insulating cover, for example, in the case of seeds that need light for the germination activity, the germination activity can be promoted by using a red light. Moreover, when aiming at sterilization of various germs generated during the germination activity, seed rot can be prevented by using a germicidal lamp.

  By the way, if germinated seeds are left in a high moisture state, they germinate and grow, and there is a risk of becoming so-called “moyashi”, which causes a problem in storage stability. Therefore, the present invention is characterized in that the rotational speed of the rotating rod is variable and a drying fan is provided, and the seeds are dried by the drying fan after the rotating rod is rotated at high speed to dehydrate germinated seeds. It is a germination seed formation device.

  According to the present invention, draining and dewatering can be performed by rotating the rotating housing at a high speed. Furthermore, after dehydration, seeds in a sprouting state can be dried by a drying fan attached to the upper part of the heat insulating cover, so that seed growth can be temporarily stopped.

  In addition, the elements related to the promotion of germination include moisture, temperature, oxygen, light, time, etc., and these elements vary depending on the kind of seeds. The present invention relates to moisture, temperature, oxygen, light and time. A sprouting seed forming device comprising a control device for setting at least one of the elements according to seeds to be sprouting.

For example, the “temperature” (water temperature) of the aquarium is an important factor for germination. In the present invention, the water temperature can be raised to about 15 ° C. to 45 ° C., and the optimum temperature for germination is set according to the type of seed. . For example, there are 25 ° C. group, 35 ° C. group, 45 ° C. group, daytime 35 ° C. night 15 ° C. group, etc.
In addition, “moisture”, that is, replacement of water is also an important factor for germination. For example, on the treatment start date, impurities are very large (there is a risk of lack of oxygen), so every 3 to 4 hours is a guideline. Since it is necessary to replace the water, set the time cycle it takes. In this respect, a complicated work burden is reduced.

  In addition, some seeds have seeds that require “light” at the time of germination. In the case of such seeds, settings are made so that “light” suitable for germination is irradiated. In addition, for example, when sterilization according to specific conditions is required, for example, when germs can easily propagate when the water temperature is around 30 ° C., an appropriate “light (sterilization lamp)” is set. Similarly, “oxygen” and “time” can be set according to the type of seed.

  Further, a method for forming a sprouting seed to be sown for the purpose of greening vegetation and seedling production in agriculture and forestry, wherein the seed is stored in a cartridge having a large number of through holes on the peripheral surface, and the cartridge is submerged in a water tank. This is a method for forming a sprouting seed, characterized by alternately repeating a state of being immersed in water and a state of being exposed on the water surface.

  Further, it is a method of forming a sprouting seed to be sown for the purpose of greening vegetation and seedling production in agriculture and forestry, and a rotating cartridge is rotated by mounting a storage cartridge having a large number of through holes on the peripheral surface thereof. Thus, germination is performed by alternately repeating the state in which the cartridge is immersed in the water in the water tank and the state in which the cartridge is exposed on the water surface, and then the water or hot water in the water tank is drained, and the rotating housing is rotated at a high speed. It is a method for forming a sprouting seed characterized by dehydrating and drying with a drying fan.

  According to the present invention, by shortening the germination days, early revegetation is possible in revegetation work, so that the slope base material and seeds can be prevented from flowing out, and the construction quality is improved. In addition, since the germination rate is increased by budding, the amount of seeds used can be reduced, and the costs for tree planting and seedling production can be reduced, which can contribute economically.

Furthermore, germination can be promoted by effectively providing oxygen on the water surface (in the atmosphere). Moreover, since it is possible to automatically replace the water in the water tank in a predetermined cycle, it is possible to prevent as much as possible the occurrence of various germs.
Furthermore, the seeds stored while the cartridge is moving come into contact with each other, so that the shell (seed coat) is easily damaged, and if the shell is damaged, the water absorption is easily improved. As a result, germination is promoted. Is done.

  In addition, oxygen and temperature (heat) can be uniformly applied to the seeds, and a plurality of types of seeds can be treated simultaneously. Furthermore, since the seed storage cartridge of the present invention is detachable, the seed storage cartridge can be easily and sequentially removed from those that have been germinated.

  Moreover, heat dissipation in the water tank can be prevented by the heat insulating cover in the water tank. In the case of seeds that require light for sprouting activity, the sprouting activity can be promoted by using a red light. In addition, when aiming at sterilization of various germs generated during germination activity, seed rot can be prevented by using a germicidal lamp.

  In addition, draining water is dewatered by rotating the rotating housing at a high speed, and after dehydration, seeds in the germination state are dried by a drying fan attached to the top of the heat insulation cover, so that seed growth is temporarily suspended. Can do.

  In addition, the elements related to the promotion of germination include moisture, temperature, oxygen, light, time, etc., and these elements vary depending on the kind of seeds. The present invention relates to moisture, temperature, oxygen, light and time. By providing a control device that sets at least one of the elements according to seeds to be germinated, germination according to the type of seeds can be performed automatically.

  The present invention is a technology that enables various seeds to germinate efficiently and enables effective use of seeds by improving the germination rate. In tree planting work, it brings about effects of early planting by shortening the number of growing days and improvement of construction quality. It can also be used for seedling production, agricultural seedling production, germination and germination food production.

(Sprouting process in this example)
The sprouting seed formation method according to the present invention is a method of filling seeds in a cartridge provided with a number of through holes in a rotating housing provided in a water tank having an automatic water supply / drainage function, filling the water tank with hot water, and heating the water in a low-speed rotation. And oxygen on the water surface alternately to germinate. During this time, water is changed by an automatic water supply / drainage mechanism, draining is performed when sprouting is completed, and sprouting seeds are formed through a process of dehydrating by rotating the rotating rod at high speed and drying with a drying fan.
In addition, high speed is high speed with respect to the rotational speed before germination is completed.

  Specifically, in the sprouting seed formation method according to the present invention, the cartridge 5 is first filled with the seed S, and then set on the rotary casing 22 with the fixed band 23. Water is supplied to the water tank 3 and the temperature of the heater 23 is raised while rotating the rotating housing 22. The temperature to be raised varies depending on the kind of seed, but if roughly classified, there are seeds that are performed in a cycle of 35 ° C. in the day and 15 ° C. in the night in addition to the 25 ° C., 35 ° C., and 45 ° C. groups. The temperature control is performed by the control panel 6 by detecting the temperature with the water temperature sensor 25.

  First, in the initial stage of germination, the water is replaced about every 4 hours. The purpose of this is to prevent oxygen deficiency due to soiling of water (hot water), because some dormant seeds absorb water, and dormancy breaking activity causes some seeds to produce a large amount of discharge. When the drainage electromagnetic valve 32 is opened, the rotary casing 22 and the heater 33 are stopped and drainage is started.

  After the drainage is almost completed, the water supply electromagnetic valve 31 is opened and water for washing is discharged for several minutes to clean the dirt of the valve seat of the drainage electromagnetic valve 32. When cleaning is completed, the drain electromagnetic valve 32 is closed.

  When the water level sensor 26 senses that the water is full (predetermined water level), the water supply electromagnetic valve 31 is closed and the germination operation is resumed. Thus, this embodiment is characterized by automatic water supply / drainage.

  Furthermore, the sprouting seed formation method according to the present embodiment can automatically process steps from seed sprouting to dehydration drying. Although the improvement rate of germination according to this example varies depending on the kind of seed, test data was obtained that was improved by approximately 16% to 70% compared to dormant seeds.

  Moreover, the germination days can be shortened. The forestry seeds need 3 to 4 months for germination, but in this device germinate in a few weeks.

(Other embodiments)
In the above embodiment, four cartridges are set in the rotary holder 22, but the number is not limited. One may be sufficient, and more cartridges may be mounted.

  In addition, when several kinds of seeds are germinated simultaneously, the seeds that have been germinated are sequentially taken out and dried and stopped outside the apparatus. On the other hand, in the case of the same seeds, after draining as described above, the rotating casing 22 The motor 21 is rotated at a high speed for dehydration, and drying and bud prevention can be performed by the drying fan 44.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the shape of the cartridge 5 was made into the cylindrical shape, it does not ask | require in particular. Further, as an alternative to the medium net 54 in the cartridge 5, a net-like sachet 57 such as a laundry net bag may be used. The net-like sachet 57 is convenient when there are many kinds of seeds and the amount is small.

  Moreover, this example can be applied to seeds for forestry such as cedar and straw, in addition to seeds for tree planting. It can also be applied to germination seed formation of germinated grains (soybean, rice, barley, etc.) as health food. Furthermore, in agriculture, it can be applied to seeds with low germination rate (seedless watermelon, pumpkin, etc.).
