Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agriculture, and in particular to a household intelligent sprout culture box and a culture method. Background Art

[0002] Sprouts, also known as bean sprouts, are edible "sprouts" cultivated from seeds of various cereals, beans, and trees, also known as "living vegetables", and are also known as Ruyi vegetables. Sprouts can reduce lactic acid accumulation in the human body and eliminate fatigue. They contain interferon raw agents, which can induce interferon, increase antibiotics in the body, increase the ability of antiviral and anti-cancer in the body, and are rich in vitamin C, riboflavin, and dietary fiber. However, the sprouts currently on the market grow fast, look good, and have high yields, but the products are not safe enough and do not meet the production standards of green pollution-free vegetables. And the planting of sprouts is becoming more and more popular now, but because sprouts have high environmental requirements, family planting requires manual care, wastes manpower, and is prone to problems such as slender sprouts and poor taste. Therefore, it is urgent to design a home intelligent sprout culture box and culture method to solve the problem of sprout food safety. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a household intelligent sprout culture box and a culture method.

[0005] An air heating line provided with a heating device is installed on the upper part of the seedling raising frame, which is used to heat the seedling raising box. The air heating line is electrically connected to a temperature controller installed on the outside of the box body, which is used to control the temperature in the seedling raising box. The temperature controller is electrically connected to a temperature sensor installed in the seedling raising box, which is used to read and display the temperature value. A plurality of temperature and humidity collectors are also installed in the seedling raising box, and the temperature and humidity collectors are electrically connected to a control box installed on the outside of the box body, which are used to collect temperature and humidity.

[0006] A water pump of a liquid circulation supply device is installed at the connection between the seedling box and the water tank. The water outlet of the water pump is connected to a water spray pipe installed inside the seedling box for spraying water on the horizontally placed sprouts. The water spray pipe is connected to an external water spray pipe installed on the top of the outer side of the seedling box for spraying water on the upright sprouts. A plurality of spray heads are provided on the water spray pipe and the external water spray pipe.

[0007] Specifically, water receiving troughs are installed on both sides of the water tank and below the external water spray pipe, and a water inlet is provided at the connection between the water receiving trough and the water tank for receiving the falling water to flow back to the water tank to form a water circulation.

[0008] Specifically, external water spray pipe brackets are installed on both sides of the top of the box body for fixedly connecting the external water spray pipes.

[0011] Specifically, the side of the seedling box on which the rotating shaft is installed adopts an inclined surface.

[0012] Specifically, a PLC controller and a timer are installed in the control box. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity collector installed in the seedling box and the temperature and humidity collector on the control box. The PLC controller also electrically controls the electric push rod and the water pump to control the operation of the electric push rod and the water pump.

[0013] A cultivation method for a household intelligent sprout cultivation box comprises the following steps:

[0014] 1) Select high-quality seeds and screen high-quality, full and uniform seeds through the sieve basket;

[0015] 2) Soak the seeds. Put the selected seeds into water and take them out several times for cleaning. Soak the cleaned seeds in water for 8-15 hours depending on the seed type. During this period, add nutrient solution as needed. The ratio of probiotic nutrient solution to water for sprouts is 1:300.

[0016] 3) Put the seeds into the seedling tray for germination, evenly distribute the soaked seeds in the seedling tray, and place the seedling tray flat on the seedling tray. During the germination process, set the temperature range in the seedling box to 20-22°C on the temperature controller. The temperature controller switches the air heating line on and off according to the temperature in the seedling box collected by the temperature sensor to make up the temperature. The PLC controller automatically controls the water pump to pressurize and spray water to the water spray pipe in the seedling box according to the temperature and humidity in the seedling box collected by the temperature and humidity collector;

[0017] 4) Seedling cultivation after germination: After the seeds germinate, the temperature range in the nursery box is set to 20-25℃ on the temperature controller. The temperature controller switches the air heating line on and off according to the temperature in the nursery box collected by the temperature sensor to make up the temperature. The PLC controller automatically controls the water pump to pressurize and spray water to the water spray pipe in the nursery box according to the temperature and humidity in the nursery box collected by the temperature and humidity collector. The spraying is 3-5 times a day.

[0018] 5) When the sprouts grow 4-5cm, that is, the leaves are higher than the seedling tray, the PLC controller controls the electric push rod to push the seedling tray to the standing state, so that the sprouts can increase ventilation, breathe freely, reduce oxygen intake, and better supplement natural light. Green plants are placed on the upper part of the box to cooperate with the sprouts as bonsai greening. The PLC controller controls the electric push rod to pull the seedling tray back to the seedling box according to the temperature value collected by the temperature and humidity collector on the control box, and controls the water pump to pressurize the external water spray pipe to spray water according to the collected humidity value;

[0019] 6) The excess water sprayed into the seedling tray by the water spray pipe or the external water spray pipe automatically falls into the water tank below. The external water spray pipe flows into the water tank through the water receiving trough to form a water circulation. Nutrient solution is added to the water tank as needed. Mature sprouts can be harvested in 7-10 days.

[0020] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The household intelligent sprout cultivation box designed by the present invention automatically controls the temperature, humidity and water replenishment times in the seedling cultivation box through a temperature controller and a PLC controller, so that the sprouts can reach an optimal growth environment, avoid human intervention, and automatically cultivate safe sprouts with good growth; the designed electric push rod pushes the seedling tray to present an upright state or a flat state, so that the sprouts can reach a better ventilation and natural light supplement environment, and green plants are placed on the box body to form a household greening landscape; the designed water tank and water receiving trough realize water circulation, avoid waste of water resources, and make the seedling cultivation box more energy-saving and intelligent, simple in structure, and suitable for household practical use.
