[0025] As shown in Figures 1-4 A bean sprout basket, comprising a basket body 2, the bottom of the basket body 2 is provided with uniformly arranged and same size through holes, the through holes are rectangular holes, normal size beans cannot pass through the through holes, avoiding beans directly falling from the through holes during the bean sprout cultivation process, the bottom of the basket body 2 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs arranged in a crisscross manner, the reinforcing ribs can make the structure of the basket body 2 more stable and can bear greater weight.
[0026] The outer bottom of the basket body 2 is connected with a water storage tank 10 through a sliding mechanism, the top of the water storage tank 10 is open, all the through holes in the bottom of the basket body 2 are located in the range corresponding to the top opening of the water storage tank 10, and the water falling from the through holes can all enter the water storage tank 10;
[0027] The side walls of the water storage tank 10 are all inclined inward, the top opening area of the water storage tank 10 is greater than the bottom area of the water storage tank 10, a plurality of overflow holes 12 are arranged on the upper part of the side wall of the water storage tank 10, so that the water flowing out of the overflow holes 12 can flow down along the outer side wall of the water storage tank 10, so that the water can fall on the beans on the inner bottom of the next layer of bean sprout basket, avoiding the water flowing out of the side wall of the next layer of bean sprout basket, resulting in waste of water, specifically, the shape of the overflow hole 12 is a horizontal strip, a plurality of overflow holes 12 are at the same height, when the water in the water storage tank 10 reaches the height of the overflow hole 12, the excess water will flow out of the water storage tank 10 through the overflow hole 12;
[0028] The bottom of the water storage tank 10 is uniformly arranged with a plurality of overflow ports 13, the overflow ports 13 are circular truncated cone-shaped, the overflow ports 13 are hollow tubes, and the overflow ports 13 are connected between the inside and outside of the water storage tank 10. The top opening area of the overflow port 13 is smaller than the bottom opening area. The plurality of overflow holes 12 and the overflow ports 13 are at the same height. In this way, when the water level reaches a certain height, the water flows out of the overflow ports 13 and flows onto the beans in the bean sprout basket of the next layer, so that the surface of the beans is wet. However, there may be a large difference in the moisture content of the surface of the beans. Therefore, the overflow ports 13 are designed in a circular truncated cone shape, so that part of the water can fall along the inclined surface of the overflow port 13. The water can be more dispersed during the falling process, and can be more evenly sprinkled on the beans in the bean sprout basket below, so that the beans in the bean sprout basket can grow more evenly.
[0029] The bottom of the water storage tank 10 is provided with a drain port 14, the drain port 14 is threadedly connected with a matching drain pipe or a threaded plug, the drain pipe is connected with a water pump, and the bottom of the basket body 2 is provided with a drain port 14. When the basket body 2 is stacked for use, the drain port 14 of the lowermost bean sprout basket is connected with the drain pipe, and the water storage tank 10 of the bean sprout basket above is connected with the threaded plug. The lowermost bean sprout basket can drain the water in the water storage tank 10 in real time through the action of the water pump, so as to avoid that the water in the water storage tank 10 overflows to the ground through the overflow ports 13 and the overflow holes 12 due to too much water. The threaded plug connected with the bean sprout basket above can prevent the water from flowing out of the drain port 14. When the water in the water storage tank 10 of the bean sprout basket other than the lowermost bean sprout basket needs to be drained, the bean sprout basket is lifted, and the threaded plug is unscrewed to drain the water.
[0030] In the embodiment, the bottom of the basket body 2 is used to place beans, and the through hole in the bottom of the basket body 2 is used for water flow. When water is poured from above to the beans, the water can flow into the water storage tank 10 from the through hole, and the through hole can play a role in ventilation. After the water stored in the water storage tank 10 evaporates, it enters the inside of the basket body 2 from the through hole, maintains the humidity in the basket body 2, and makes the beans in a suitable breeding environment. The overflow holes 12 and the overflow ports 13 arranged on the water storage tank 10 can make the water in the water storage tank 10 flow out when the water level reaches the height of the overflow holes 12 and the overflow ports 13, and flow into the bean sprout basket of the next layer, so as to avoid that the water level in the water storage tank 10 is too high, the water enters the basket body 2 through the through hole, and the beans are soaked to affect the normal growth of the beans.
[0031] The sliding mechanism includes a sliding groove 8, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the basket 2. One end of the two sliding grooves 8 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 5, and the other end of the two sliding grooves 8 is provided with an expansion inlet 4. The expansion inlet 4 can be detachably installed with a limiting plug 7. The two sides of the water storage tank 10 are provided with sliding strips 11 that cooperate with the sliding grooves 8. The two sliding strips 11 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 8 respectively. The expansion inlet 4 facilitates the insertion of the sliding strip 11 into the sliding groove 8. When the sliding strip 11 reaches the limiting plate 5, it cannot move further. The upper limiting plug 7 is installed to block the expansion inlet 4, so that the sliding strip 11 is fixed in the sliding groove 8 and cannot move.
[0032] The side walls of the basket 2 are provided with through holes, and several reinforcing ribs are installed on the side walls of the basket 2 in a crisscross pattern. The reinforcing ribs can make the structure of the basket 2 more stable and able to withstand greater pressure.
[0033] The bottom of the basket 2 is fixedly connected to a leg 6. The height of the leg 6 is greater than the height of the water storage tank 10. The leg 6 is used to support the basket 2 so that the water storage tank 10 does not directly contact the ground, thus avoiding friction and damage to the water storage tank 10.
[0034] The shape of the legs 6 is such that the top area is larger than the bottom area. The legs 6 are located on the outside of the water storage tank 10. The upper part of the side wall of the basket 2 is provided with an installation groove 1 that matches the legs 6. The shape of the legs 6 with the top area larger than the bottom area makes it easy to insert into the installation groove 1. When the legs 6 are inserted into the installation groove 1, the structure is more stable and less prone to shaking.
[0035] The basket body 2 has handle holes 3 on its two opposite side walls, which can be held by hand when manually carrying it, making it easy to move.
[0036] In summary, in practical use, soaked beans are evenly spread in each bean sprout basket, and the baskets are stacked as needed. The baskets are placed in a suitable temperature and dark environment. Water is poured from the top of the stacked baskets, allowing the water to fall through the holes at the bottom of the basket 2 into the water storage tank 10. When the water level in the water storage tank 10 reaches the overflow holes 12 and 13, the water will flow from the overflow holes 12 and 13 into the next layer of bean sprout baskets. The water will fall layer by layer. When the water falls into the bottom bean sprout basket and fills the water storage tank 10 of the bottom bean sprout basket, watering is stopped. The water can be drained through the drain outlet 14 at the bottom of the water storage tank 10 of the bottom bean sprout basket to avoid water overflowing due to insufficient capacity of the water storage tank 10, thus keeping the humidity in the bean sprout baskets suitable, eliminating the need for frequent watering, and allowing the bean sprouts to grow normally.
[0037] The specific implementation of the utility model above does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model claim.
