[0068] After the germination of the grains, the germinated grains in the germination chamber 20 need to be cleaned. The operator starts the second pump 51, which sends the clean water in the liquid storage tank 30 to the germination chamber 20 through the first pipe 62. Then the first pump 65 is started, and the cleaned water enters the liquid storage tank 30 or the liquid collection tank 40 through the flow path switching device 61. If the liquid needs to be sent back to the liquid storage tank 30 for recycling, the flow path switching device 61 is switched to the direction of the liquid storage tank 30. If the waste water needs to be discharged into the liquid collection tank 40 for disposal, the flow path switching device 61 is switched to the direction of the liquid collection tank 40. When the grains are cleaned, the operator can turn off the first pump 65 and the second pump 51.
