Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bean sprout machines, in particular to a bean soaking tank and a bean sprout machine. Background Art

[0002] A bean sprout machine is a device specifically designed for automated production of bean sprouts. It can efficiently and hygienically cultivate a variety of bean sprouts at home or in a small-scale commercial environment. A bean sprout machine is usually equipped with an automatic watering system that can automatically water the beans at set time intervals to ensure that the beans remain moist. The bean sprouts need to be soaked before growing, usually in the bean soaking tank of the bean sprout machine. After soaking, they can be germinated directly in the bean soaking tank.

[0003] However, the existing bean sprout machines have the following disadvantages: the tray inside the bean soaking tank of most bean sprout machines is directly mounted on the water spray pipe, and there is no supporting structure under the tray. When the beans on the tray are heavy, the tray will sink, and the spacing between the trays cannot be adjusted as needed, which reduces the practicability of the bean sprout machines. Therefore, the existing bean sprout machines need to be improved. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a bean soaking cylinder, comprising a bean soaking cylinder body 6 and a cylinder cover 4, one side of the bean soaking cylinder body 6 is connected with a water inlet pipe 14, the cylinder cover 4 is sleeved on the top of the bean soaking cylinder body 6, a tray 10 is arranged inside the bean soaking cylinder body 6, a support mechanism 7 is arranged below the tray 10, the support mechanism 7 comprises an inner rod 701, a limiting groove 702, a limiting rod 703, a support spring 704 and an outer rod 705, an annularly distributed inner rod 701 is connected below the tray 10, an outer side of the inner rod 701 is slidably sleeved with an outer rod 705, one side of the outer rod 705 slides through the limiting rod 703, a support spring 704 is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting rod 703, a side of the inner rod 701 close to the limiting rod 703 is provided with equally spaced limiting grooves 702, an annularly distributed flow guide port 15 is provided below the bean soaking cylinder body 6, and three groups of support mechanisms 7 are arranged below the tray 10.

[0026] In specific implementation, the tray 10 inside the bean soaking cylinder of most bean sprout machines is directly mounted on the water spray pipe, and there is no supporting structure under the tray 10. When the weight of the beans carried on the tray 10 is heavy, the tray 10 will sink, and the spacing between the trays 10 cannot be adjusted as needed, which reduces the practicality of the bean sprout machine. The tray 10 can be supported by the inner rod 701 and the outer rod 705. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the inner rod 701, before the tray 10 is placed in the bean soaking cylinder body 6, the limiting rod 703 can be pulled to one side to make the limiting rod 703 drive the supporting spring 704 to contract, and then one end of the limiting rod 703 is separated from the limiting groove 702, and then the inner rod 701 is pulled to a suitable height, and then the limiting rod 703 is released, so that the supporting spring 704 rebounds and drives the limiting rod 703 to insert into the limiting groove 702, thereby limiting the height of the inner rod 701. The spacing between the trays 10 can be adjusted according to the needs of bean sprout growth, thereby improving the practicality of the bean sprout machine.

[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A bean sprout machine comprises a machine base 1 and a driving assembly 2, wherein the upper portion of the machine base 1 is connected to a bean soaking cylinder 6 by bolts, an inlet valve 13 is installed on the outer side of the water inlet pipe 14, a water storage tank 5 is provided on the inner side of the machine base 1, the driving assembly 2 is installed in a built-in groove of the machine base 1, a micro water pump 3 is installed in the built-in groove of the machine base 1 near the water storage tank 5, a drain pipe 12 is connected to one side of the machine base 1, a drain pump 16 is installed on the outer side of the drain pipe 12, a guide pipe 11 is connected to the upper portion of the driving assembly 2, the guide pipe 11 is slidably sleeved with a tray 10, and a spray assembly 8 is threadedly sleeved on the top of the guide pipe 11 near the inside of the bean soaking cylinder 6.

[0028] In specific implementation, when using the bean sprout machine, first install the guide pipe 11 on the driving component 2, then put the tray 10 on the outside of the guide pipe 11, and then install the spray component 8, and then the water inlet valve 13 drives the water inlet pipe 14 to introduce water into the bean soaking cylinder 6 to soak the beans. After the soaking is completed, the water enters the water storage tank 5 from the guide port 15, and then drives the drainage pipe 12 to discharge the water through the drainage pump 16. A certain amount of water needs to be stored in the water storage tank 5, and then the micro water pump 3 sucks water from the water storage tank 5 and transports it into the spray component 8 through the guide pipe 11 for watering. At the same time, the driving component 2 drives the guide pipe 11 to rotate, which can rotate to spray water. The bean sprout machine controls the temperature and humidity, which can make the bean sprouts grow rapidly.

[0029] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6A filter mechanism 9 is installed at the bottom end of the bean soaking cylinder 6 near the guide port 15, and the filter mechanism 9 is connected to the guide pipe 11. The filter mechanism 9 includes a filter screen 901 and a pull rod 902. A filter screen 901 is installed at the bottom end of the bean soaking cylinder 6 near the guide port 15, and pull rods 902 are connected at both ends of the filter screen 901. The filter screen 901 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide pipe 11.

[0030] In specific implementation, since some impurities and smaller beans will enter the drain port when the bean sprout machine is draining water, it is easy to get clogged. When the water is discharged, some impurities and smaller beans can be blocked by the filter 901, and then the water enters the water storage tank 5 from the diversion port 15. When it is necessary to remove and clean the filter 901, the filter 901 can be pulled upward by the pull rod 902, and the filter 901 slides upward on the diversion tube 11, and then the spray assembly 8 is removed from the diversion tube 11, and the filter 901 can be quickly removed and cleaned, thereby improving the convenience of the bean sprout machine.

[0031] Working principle: when using the bean soaking tank and bean sprout machine, first, install the guide tube 11 on the driving component 2, adjust the length of the inner rod 701 through the supporting mechanism 7, then put the tray 10 on the outside of the guide tube 11, and then install the spraying component 8, and then the water inlet valve 13 drives the water inlet pipe 14 to introduce water into the bean soaking tank 6 to soak the beans. After the soaking is completed, the water enters the water storage tank 5 from the guide port 15, and at the same time the filtering mechanism 9 filters the impurities, and then drives the drainage pipe 12 to discharge the water through the drainage pump 16, and a certain amount of water needs to be stored in the water storage tank 5, and then the micro water pump 3 sucks water from the water storage tank 5 and transports it into the spraying component 8 through the guide tube 11 for watering, and at the same time the driving component 2 drives the guide tube 11 to rotate, which can rotate to spray water, and the bean sprout machine controls the temperature and humidity, thereby improving the practicality and convenience of the bean sprout machine.
