[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a bean sprout seed soaking device, including a soaking tank 2, a cover 3 rotatably mounted on the top of the soaking tank 2, a material inlet provided on the upper surface of the soaking tank 2 along the lower part of the cover 3, a rotating assembly 4 rotatably mounted inside the soaking tank 2, the rotating assembly 4 including an upper ring plate 401, a lower ring plate 402, connecting columns 403 and a drive shaft 404, multiple mesh buckets 5 are provided inside the rotating assembly 4, and handles are provided on both sides above the mesh buckets 5 for easy lifting of the mesh buckets 5, the upper ring plate 401 is located above the lower ring plate 402, and both the upper ring plate 401 and the lower ring plate 402 are fixedly mounted on the outside of the drive shaft 404, multiple connecting columns 403 are provided, and the multiple connecting columns 403 are arranged in a ring and fixedly mounted between the upper ring plate 401 and the lower ring plate 402, the drive shaft 404 is rotatably connected to the soaking tank 2, and a drive motor for the drive shaft 404 is provided above the soaking tank 2.

[0024] When soaking bean sprout seeds, the seeds can be placed in the grid bucket 5 and then into the rotating component 4 of the soaking tank 2. After soaking, the grid bucket 5 can be easily removed by the handle, avoiding the tedious step of manually scooping out the seeds in the traditional soaking method, thus increasing the convenience of removing bean sprout seeds. In addition, the rotating component 4 allows the grid bucket 5 to rotate during the soaking process, which is conducive to the seeds fully contacting the water and improving the soaking effect. At the same time, the rotating component is controlled by a drive motor, which is easy to operate, reduces manual intervention, and increases practicality.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 The upper ring plate 401 has multiple round holes 4011 arranged in a ring. Multiple positioning ring plates 4021 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the lower ring plate 402. The number of positioning ring plates 4021 and round holes 4011 are the same and their positions correspond. The number of grid buckets 5 and round holes 4011 are the same, and the grid buckets 5 are placed in the positioning ring plates 4021 through the round holes 4011.

[0026] The multiple round holes 4011 inside the upper ring plate 401, combined with the multiple positioning ring plates 4021 fixedly installed above the lower ring plate 402, provide a stable and easy-to-position placement structure for the grid bucket 5. This not only ensures the stability of the grid bucket 5 during rotation, preventing it from shaking or shifting, but also makes the loading and unloading of the grid bucket 5 more convenient. Simply align the grid bucket 5 with the round holes 4011 and put it down; it will easily fall into the positioning ring plate 4021, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 A bottom box 1 is fixedly installed below the seed soaking box 2. A heating box 9 is fixedly installed inside the bottom box 1. A second water supply pipe 8 is fixedly installed on the upper side of one side of the heating box 9. A filter box 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the second water supply pipe 8. A first water supply pipe 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the filter box 7. The upper end of the first water supply pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the seed soaking box 2. A filter plate is fixedly installed inside the filter box 7. The filter plate is vertically arranged and can filter the flowing water. A cleaning cover is threaded on the front end of the filter box 7. A water pump 11 is fixedly installed above the heating box 9. A third water supply pipe 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the water pump 11. The end of the third water supply pipe 10 away from the water pump 11 extends to the bottom of the heating box 9. A return water pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the other side of the water pump 11. The end of the return water pipe 12 away from the water pump 11 extends to the top of the seed soaking box 2 and is fixedly connected to the seed soaking box 2.

[0028] The heating box 9, filter box 7, and water pump 11 integrated in the bottom box 1 form a circulating heating system, which can heat the water in the soaking box 2 in winter to ensure that the bean sprout seeds are soaked at a suitable temperature, thereby improving the soaking effect and the germination rate of bean sprouts. In addition, the filter box 7 effectively filters impurities in the water, ensuring water cleanliness and preventing damage to bean sprout seeds due to water quality problems, thus increasing practicality.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 An electric heating tube 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the heating box 9, and an insulation layer is provided on the inner side of the heating box 9.

[0030] The electric heating element 13 facilitates water heating, while the insulation layer reduces heat loss and ensures stable water temperature, providing a more suitable soaking environment for bean sprouts in colder weather.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 Temperature sensors 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper part of the heating box 9. The temperature sensors 14 are PT100 temperature sensors.

[0032] The temperature sensor 14 is set up to monitor changes in water temperature, increasing its practicality.

[0033] Working principle: When in use, place the bean sprout seeds to be soaked into the grid bucket 5 and then into the rotating component 4 of the soaking tank 2. Then drive the rotating component 4 to rotate, so that the bean sprout seeds in the grid bucket 5 can fully contact the water, improving the soaking effect. After soaking, the lid 3 can be opened and the grid bucket 5 can be lifted out, which increases the convenience of removing the bean sprout seeds. In addition, the bottom box 1 under the soaking tank 2 integrates the heating box 9, the filter box 7 and the water pump 11, forming a circulation structure. The water pump 11 draws hot water from the heating box 9 through the water supply pipe 3 10 and sends it into the soaking tank 2 through the return water pipe 12. The water in the soaking tank 2 flows back into the heating box 9 through the water supply pipe 1 6, the filter box 7 and the water supply pipe 2 8, forming a circulation, which facilitates the soaking of bean sprout seeds at a suitable water temperature in winter.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
