Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a germination machine that uniformly promotes the germination of paddy, increases the germination rate, and produces healthy seedlings.

"Prior Art" As disclosed in Utility Model Application No. 57-201115, in a germination machine having a germination tank with an open top, a water sprinkling pipe (hereinafter referred to as "conducting pipe") is installed above the opening. ), and a water sprinkler (shower) is attached to the water pipe to sprinkle water. In order to spray water uniformly over the entire area of the opening, the water pipe is arranged by dividing the opening (sprinkler installation port) into several parts almost equally, and the water pipe is rotated around the shaft support. It is pivoted so that it can move.

``Problem that the invention aims to solve'' However, with the conventional technology, the net bag (hereinafter simply referred to as ``net bag'') that holds the paddy through the opening of the germination tank
When loading or removing seeds from a germination tank, the water guide pipes must be rotated upwards one by one around their respective pivots and fixed. This is especially true for germ generators that require multiple water guide pipes. In this case, a pivot support is required for each, and each must be rotated upward to be fixed, resulting in problems such as poor workability and the need for a large number of pivot supports.

The present invention has been developed by focusing on these conventional problems, and aims to provide a germination machine that solves the above problems by rotating multiple water pipes at once. It is said that

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The gist of the present invention to achieve this purpose is to provide a box containing at least a plurality of water conduit pipes above the opening of a germination tank with an open top. The water supply pipe is equipped with water sprinklers placed at suitable intervals so as to spray water over almost the entire area of the opening, facing the outside of the box, and the box is centered around the pivot support. The invention consists in a germination machine configured to be rotatable and capable of stopping at any position.

``Function'' By rotating and fixing the box housing multiple water pipes upwards, it is possible to load and store net bags into and take them out of the germination tank without any obstructions. This is what I did.

“Embodiment” An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a germination tank, which has a slatted board 2 at its lower part, on which a net bag 22 is loaded and stored, and further has a water suction pipe 5 at the bottom for absorbing and discharging water that falls through the slatted board 2. have.

There is a water supply box 8 on the side of the germination tank 1, and a water pump 9 is provided inside. The water suction pipe 5 is connected to the water pump 9. 10 is a warmer 10
It is equipped with an internal heater and thermostat (not shown). Note that the warmer 10 may be disposed inside a box described later as shown in FIG. 2, or may be disposed on the water pump 9 described above. 1
Reference numeral 1 denotes a pipe connecting the water pump 9 and the warmer 10, and the tip of the connecting pipe 11 is flexible. A plurality of water conduit pipes 13, 13 extend from the side surface of the warmer 10 via elbows (not shown). The water pipe 13 is arranged above the opening of the germination tank 1 so as to be substantially parallel to the opening surface,
In addition, water sprinklers (showers) 15 are provided at appropriate intervals so as to uniformly spray water over almost the entire opening surface. The number and arrangement of the water pipes, the number of water sprinklers, etc. are appropriately determined depending on the size and shape of the opening, the desired amount of water to be sprinkled, etc. In the germination machine configured as described above, the present invention allows the opening of the germination tank 1 to have a slightly smaller floor area (that is, A<B shown in FIG. 3 and C<D shown in FIG. 2).
A is the depth of the box A, B is the depth of the germination tank 1, C is the horizontal length of the box A, and D is the horizontal length of the germination tank 1. ), at least the plurality of water conduit pipes 13, 13 described above are accommodated and arranged, and water sprinklers 15, 15 are attached outside the box A, and the box A has a The ends of the connecting pipe 11 are screwed together with screws 31, 31 via left and right supports 3, 3 fixed to the left and right side plates 1a, 1b of the germination tank 1, and the supports 3 are shaped like an inverted K shape. The upper legs 32, 32 form a stopper that supports the lower part of the box A in order to maintain its normal position (under the germination state). ing. In addition, 16 in the figure is a heat insulation cover attached to the lower part of the box body A, and the cover 16
is formed in a size that completely covers the opening of the germination tank 1, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, when the steam rising from the germination tank 1 attaches to the bottom of the box A, the left and right lower side walls of the box A are
It is bent inward so that it does not fall outside the germination tank 1, that is, all of the steam falls into the germination tank 1.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

First, the net bag 22 is loaded and stored in the germination tank 1, but the box A located on the top opening of the germination machine becomes an obstacle. Then, warm up the left and right screws 31, 31, rotate the box A upward to any position, that is, to a position where it will not be an obstacle to store the net bag 22 into the germination tank 1 from the opening, and tighten the screws 31, 31. Tighten to secure box A. At this time, the tubes 11, 11 are bent at their flexible portions. After securing the space necessary to accommodate the net bags 22 in this manner, the net bags are sequentially loaded and stored from the opening of the germination tank 1 onto the grating board 2 at the bottom of the germination tank 1. After storing the net bag 22, the screws 31, 31 are warmed again and the box body A is rotated downward to the initial position, that is, the position supported by the stoppers 32, 32.

After that, water the area. That is, water heated to a temperature suitable for germination by the warmer 10 housed in the box A passes through the water pipe 13 and is sprinkled onto the net bag 22 by the water sprinkler 15. The water that has passed through the net bag 22 passes through the holes in the slatted board 2 and accumulates in the lower part of the germination tank 1. The water at the bottom of this germination tank 1 is supplied to the water suction pipe 5.
The water is sucked up by the pump 9 and sent to the heater 1 again.
Returns to 0 and repeats the above cycle. The temperature of the water for watering is always controlled by a thermostat to a temperature suitable for germination. Note that it is necessary to check the germination state from time to time, and at this time, the box body A may be fixed by warming the screws 31, 31 and rotating the box body A upward at a desired angle.

"Effect of the invention" According to the germ generator of the invention, at least a plurality of water guide pipes are housed in a box and integrated, and the box is structured to be able to stop at any rotational position. The water guide pipes of the box can be rotated in one motion, increasing work efficiency and greatly simplifying the pivoting structure for the plurality of water guide pipes.
