Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a germination machine that is placed outside the container for soaking and germinating seeds, and is a device that heats and circulates water for soaking and germinating rice seeds. The present invention relates to a germination machine in which a device for causing germination is detachably attached to the container. Furthermore, this attachment and detachment can be performed using at least two pins. In conventional germ generators, a device for heating and circulating water was installed upright inside the container.

However, in this case, it takes time to set up the device, it is difficult to mount the pumping fan without upsetting its axis, and it is not possible to store rice seeds over the entire surface of the container. It was getting in the way of putting in and taking out seed rice.

Therefore, in the present invention, the heating and circulation device is placed outside the container, and the heating and circulation device is installed inside a box, and the box is attached to the container with at least two pins. To make the use of a germinator convenient, and to provide a germinator that can be used for a purpose other than a container when not in use.

The content of this invention will be explained below based on embodiment figures.

Reference numeral 1 is a container having a polygonal cross-section with an open top surface and a peripheral edge 1b with pin insertion holes 1a formed at appropriate positions, and 2 is a slatted board fitted into the container 1. The slatted board 2 has a plate part 2a in which a large number of water circulation holes 3 are formed, and the plate part 2a is connected to the inner bottom surface 1c of the container 1.
It is composed of leg portions 2b for providing compartments 4 at appropriate intervals. Note that the leg portion 2b is also provided with a water flow hole 3a.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a suction section facing into the compartment 4, and the suction section 5 consists of a circulation pipe 5a and a suction pipe 5b attached to one of the pipes 5a at a right angle, that is, in a T-shape, at the tip thereof. The left and right ends of the suction pipe 5b are bent downward, and suction ports 6 are opened at both bent ends. This suction port 6 is open. This suction port 6 is located approximately in the center of the horizontal length A of the container 1, and divides the vertical length B into approximately three equal parts (B ₁ = B ₂ =
B ₃ ) and at a certain distance from the inner bottom surface 1c. The other end of the distribution pipe 5a fits into a communication hole 7 formed in the side wall of the container 1, and communicates with a water pump, which will be described later.

8 is a box body to be attached to the side of the container 1, and inside the box body 8, a pumping motor 9 and a heater pipe 10 are installed.
is attached to the left and right side walls of the box body 8, and has a U-shaped cross section and a pin insertion hole 11a in the center thereof.
The engaging portion 11 provided with is fixed. Note that the water suction port of the water pumping motor 9 communicates with the other end of the distribution pipe 5a via a pipe 12. Reference numeral 13 denotes a pipe attached to the upper left and right sides of the pumping pipe 10, and an elbow 14 is installed at an appropriate position on the pipe 13.
A shower head 15 is attached through the heater pipe 13, and the water rising inside the heater pipe 10 flows through the pipe 13.
Pass through inside and elbow 14 to shower head 15
From there, water is circulated inside the container 1.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a heater installed inside the heater tube 10, and this heater 16 is regulated by a temperature control device 17 installed inside the box 8 and a thermostat 18 built into the tube 10, so that the heater 16 moves up the pipe. The water to be pumped (pumped) is heated to a desired temperature (germination temperature). Note that when the temperature of the water becomes higher than the set temperature as the heating by the heater 16 progresses, the thermostat 18 detects this and activates the temperature adjustment device 17 to control the heating of the heater 16.

19 is a vertically movable drying prevention switch, that is, a float switch attached to the thermostat 18; 20 is an overflow port drilled in the upper side of the container 1;
1 is a hose for discharging the water in the container 1, 22
is a net bag containing seed rice.

Further, 23 is a pipe for connecting the water pumping motor 9 and the heater pipe 10, and 24 is a pin insertion hole 1 of the container 1.
a and the pin insertion hole 11a of the engaging portion 11 is a connecting insertion pin.

Since the germ generator according to this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, first, the engaging part 11 of the box body 8 is fitted into the peripheral edge 1b of the container 1, and the pin insertion hole 1a of the peripheral edge 1b and the pin of the engaging part 11 are inserted. The box body 8 is attached to the container 1 by aligning the insertion holes 11a and inserting the pins 24 into the insertion holes 1a, 11a.

Then, pour water or hot water (for example, hot water of 14°C or lower for the presoaking period) into the container 1, then turn on the pump motor 9 and turn on the heater 16. For example, water in the container 1 is sucked up from the water inlet 6 by the pumping motor 9 evenly from front to back and left to right and is sent into the heater pipe 10, and the float of the boiling prevention switch 19 rises and the water boiling prevention switch is activated. is turned on and the heater 16 is energized. The supplied water is then heated by this heater 16 to a temperature suitable for germination (for example, 14°C in the pre-soaking (seeding) period, 32°C in the germination period), and then watered into the container 1 from the upper shower head 15... (At this time, the hot water comes into contact with the air and contains sufficient oxygen, and also releases impurities into the air due to the breathing of the paddy and other causes, preventing water deterioration and increasing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water.) Inside the container 1 (At this time, since the seed rice is not stacked deep, only a small amount of pressure from the seed rice in the upper row is applied to the lower row, and the rice seeds in the upper and lower rows are placed under almost the same conditions.) This allows for a sufficient supply of oxygen and the smooth passage of warm water through the rice seeds, resulting in uniform germination.) Then, after an appropriate period of time (this time is time, e.g. 72 hours during the pre-soaking period, and 72 hours during the germination period.
It is shorter than 20 hours. ), it is possible to achieve a uniform pigeon breast condition and to make the germination conditions of the seed rice completely the same.

In addition, when the box 8 is removed from the container 1 after germination is finished and the container 1 is used for another purpose, the pin 24 can be pulled out from the insertion holes 1a, 11a and the connecting part of the pipe can be removed, and the box 8 can be removed from the container 1. Can be removed.

As described above, the present invention has a simple structure in which the container is provided with a periphery, an engaging part that fits into the periphery is fixed to the box, and a pin insertion hole is provided in the periphery and the engaging part. This has the effect that the box can be easily attached and detached from the container, the entire surface of the container can be used, and the seed rice can be taken in and out easily.
