In addition, hot air passages 120 for circulating hot air in the germination main body 110 are provided on both side surfaces partitioned into a plurality of regions so that a predetermined temperature is maintained by the warm air supplied from the hot air supply unit 150. .

Hereinafter, a detailed configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a seed germination device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The warm air supply unit 150 is integrally provided with the germination main body 110 to supply the heater 152 for warming the air supplied from the air inlet 156 and the warm air to the warm air passage 120 provided in the germination main body 110. It is composed of a blower 154 to.

In addition, a plurality of supply holes 122 are formed so that the warm air supplied from the warm air supply unit 150 is introduced into the plurality of warm air passages 120 so that the warm air can be supplied to each of the trays 160. At this time, the supply hole 122 should be configured so that the warm air can be supplied from both sides of each tray 160.

On the other hand, as shown in "A", a plurality of through holes 162 are formed in all directions so that the warm air supplied from the supply hole 122 may be transmitted to the seed 180 as shown in "A", and the seed 180 ) Is placed on the bottom surface is formed of a mesh network 164 smaller than the seed 180.

Cold water supply unit 140 is provided on the top of the germination body 110, the water supply line 142 for supplying cold water, and by spraying a predetermined amount of cold water to the seed 180 periodically by giving a stimulation of hot / cold to the seed germination It is composed of an injector 144 to facilitate, such an injector 144 is preferably installed on at least one water supply line 142.

The control box 170 checks the internal temperature of the germination body 110 to adjust the temperature of the warm air supplied from the warm air supply unit 150 and the temperature control unit 172, and the cold water to the seed 180 in advance To control the solenoid valve 174 using a timer to open and close the valve according to time.

Meanwhile, a hopper-shaped drip tray 132 and a drainage path for discharging water collected from the drip tray 132 to the outside are provided in the germination body 110 so that the cold water sprayed from the cold water supply unit 140 does not accumulate inside and drains to the outside. 134 is provided.

Figure 3 is a general view of the seed germination device for explaining the circulation of the warm air according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the drawing, the air is introduced and circulated by the heater 152 and the blower 154. The air introduced through the first air inlet 156 is supplied to the warm air supply unit 150 by the blower 154. Is introduced into the air, the introduced air is heated by the heater 152, the warm air is supplied to the germination main body 110 by the blower 154 again.

The warm air supplied to the germinator main body 110 is introduced into the plurality of warm air passages 120 in accordance with the direction shown, and the warm air is accommodated in the tray 160 through the supply holes 122 provided in the respective warm air passages 120. After passing through the seed 180, it is discharged to the outside through the outlet 158.

Therefore, it is possible to maintain the preset internal temperature of the germination body 110 by the continuous circulation of warm air.

4 is an overall view of the seed germination device for explaining the flow of cold water according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the drawing, the cold water supplied from the cold water supply unit 140 is provided to at least one sprayer 144 to stimulate the germination of the seeds 180 by providing hot / cold stimulation.

The injector 144 provided in the water supply line 142 periodically sprays a certain amount of cold water onto the seed 180 to give hot / cold repetitive stimulation to promote the germination of the seed 180, and further, the germination main body 110. Cold water sprayed from the top of the) is passed through the multi-layered tray 160, cold water is collected by the drip tray 132, the collected cold water is discharged to the outside by the drainage passage (134).

Therefore, since cold water is supplied from the upper side, the plurality of seeds 180 accommodated in the multi-layered tray 160 may be washed, as well as an effect of repeatedly supplying water and hot / cold stimulation.

Seed germination method according to the configuration of Figures 1 to 4 described above will be described with reference to FIG.

5 is a process flow chart for explaining a seed germination method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, it can be made largely into the seeding step (S101), the step of receiving in the germination body (S102) and the seed germination step (S103).

First seed seeding step (S101) is supplied for sufficient moisture by soaking in water for 23 to 25 hours for dormancy breakdown of seeds.

Accepting the germination step (S102) is a step of transferring to the germination after the seeding step of seeding.

The germination step (S103) of the seed is maintained at the internal temperature of 35 ° C to 45 ° C of the germination body to set the optimum temperature for the seeds to germinate, periodically spraying a certain amount of cold water on the seeds to warm the seeds / cold Gives impetus. At this time, the cold water sprayed on the seed is preferably sprayed at intervals of 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, and when spraying, it is preferable to spray for 2 to 4 minutes once. Here, the injection time interval of cold water is not less than 1 hour 10 minutes In the case of seeds are easy to dry, if less than 50 minutes it is meaningless to keep the internal temperature of the germination high. In other words, if the above spraying time range is not maintained, the meaning of giving a hot / cold stimulus to the seeds is greatly lowered. The above injection time interval is of critical significance. Optimal for single injection time It can be said to be injection time to give hot / cold stimulation.

On the other hand, the stimulation of the hot / cold is to provide an environment for promoting the germination of seeds to facilitate the action of enzymes by promoting the expansion and contraction of the epidermis, gas exchange and mass metabolism in seeds.

In addition, after the germination step of the seed, it is preferable to further include the step (S104) to export the germinated seeds sowing or packaging them in rice fields or fields, etc. to commercialize them.

The result of the seed germination apparatus and method described above gives the results as shown in the table below.
