Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of bean sprout machine technology, specifically a new type of flexible water purification bean sprout machine. Background Technology

[0002] Bean sprouts are a general term for soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, black bean sprouts, etc., and are a traditional Chinese dish. Bean sprouts are sprouts that grow from beans, which are rich in plant protein, so they have the nutritional characteristics of beans. Compared with other vegetables, they contain a lot of protein, vitamin C, aspartic acid, calcium, iron, dietary fiber, organic matter, vitamin B1 and other nutrients. They are also crisp and delicious and are loved by consumers.

[0003] The cultivation method for bean sprouts is simple, usually involving steps such as seed selection, soaking, watering to promote germination, and harvesting. It takes 3-4 days to cultivate. Bean sprout machines, as electrical appliances for cultivating bean sprouts, allow users to easily cultivate pollution-free bean sprouts. Bean sprouts cultivated by bean sprout machines have a shorter growth cycle and better quality compared to traditionally hand-cultivated bean sprouts. Generally, the cycle for hand-cultivated bean sprouts is 4-5 days in summer and 7-9 days in winter, while bean sprout machines can harvest bean sprouts in just 3-3.5 days and are not affected by climate conditions or seasons.

[0004] However, existing bean sprout machines cannot evenly water the beans during use, resulting in uneven germination and affecting the quality of the bean sprouts. At the same time, when watering the beans, the water that has been poured on the upper beans tends to accumulate impurities, which can contaminate the beans below, thus affecting the quality of the bean sprouts. Furthermore, the water that has been poured cannot be recycled effectively, which can lead to resource waste and inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a novel flexible water-purifying bean sprout growing machine. By incorporating a water spraying component, the machine can evenly spray water onto the beans, ensuring uniform and sufficient contact with water and guaranteeing a high germination rate. Simultaneously, a flow guiding component directs water to the bottom of the machine, preventing water from above from contaminating the beans below. Furthermore, a water circulation component enables water recycling, avoiding resource waste, saving costs, and providing convenience for users.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel flexible water purification and bean sprout cultivation machine includes a base, with support rods installed at the four corners of the top surface of the base. A box is installed at the top of the four support rods, and the front of the box is open. Several vertically distributed placement plates are installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box.

A flow guiding device is provided on the bottom surface of each placement plate. A water spray assembly is installed on the top surface of the box, and a water circulation assembly is installed on the top surface of the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the water spray assembly includes two water pumps distributed horizontally, which are fixedly connected to the top surface of the housing. A horizontal pipe is installed at the outlet of each water pump, and a connecting sleeve is installed between the two horizontal pipes, with the horizontal pipes and the connecting sleeve communicating internally. It also includes a motor, with a hollow vertical pipe installed at the bottom of the motor shaft. The vertical pipe passes through the connecting sleeve, which is rotatably connected to the vertical pipe via a sealed bearing. Several water inlets are opened on the outer periphery of the top of the vertical pipe, located inside the connecting sleeve. Several vertically distributed connecting pipes are installed on both sides of the vertical pipe, communicating internally with the vertical pipe. Several evenly spaced nozzles are installed on the bottom side of each connecting pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the flow guiding device includes an inclined flow guiding plate, which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the corresponding placement plate via a connecting rod. Several evenly distributed flow guiding holes are opened on one side of the top surface of the flow guiding plate, and two baffles distributed front and back are installed on the top surface of each flow guiding plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the water circulation component includes a water tank, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention discloses a novel flexible water purification bean sprout growing machine, comprising a base 1, with support rods 2 installed at the four corners of the top surface of the base 1, and a box 3 installed at the top of the four support rods 2. The box 3 has an opening at the front, and several vertically distributed placement plates 4 are installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box 3. Each placement plate 4 has several evenly distributed through holes on its top surface. A feeding frame 5 is placed on the top surface of the placement plate 4, and beans are placed inside the feeding frame 5. Each placement plate 4 has a flow guiding device on its bottom surface. A water spray assembly is installed on the top surface of the box 3, and a water circulation assembly is installed on the top surface of the base 1.

[0026] Specifically, the water spray assembly includes two water pumps 7 distributed horizontally, which are fixedly connected to the top surface of the housing 3. Each water pump 7 has a horizontal pipe 8 installed at its outlet, and a connecting sleeve 9 is installed between the two horizontal pipes 8. The horizontal pipes 8 and the connecting sleeve 9 are internally connected. The assembly also includes a motor 10, with a hollow vertical pipe 11 installed at the bottom of the motor 10's shaft. The vertical pipe 11 passes through the connecting sleeve 9, and the connecting sleeve 9 is rotatably connected to the vertical pipe 11 through a sealed bearing 25. Several water inlets 12 are opened on the outer periphery of the top of the vertical pipe 11, and the water inlets 12 are located inside the connecting sleeve 9. Several vertically distributed connecting pipes 13 are installed on both sides of the vertical pipe 11, and the connecting pipes 13 are internally connected to the vertical pipe 11. Several evenly spaced nozzles 14 are installed on the bottom side of each connecting pipe 13. When the water pump 7 is working, it pumps water into the horizontal pipe 8, then into the connecting sleeve 9 through the horizontal pipe 8, then into the vertical pipe 11 through the water inlet 12, then into the connecting pipe 13 through the vertical pipe 11, and finally sprays it out through the nozzle 14. At the same time, the motor 10 is working, driving the vertical pipe 11 to rotate. The rotation of the vertical pipe 11 drives the connecting rod 13 and the nozzle 14 to rotate, so that the water can be sprayed evenly on the beans in the placement frame 5.

[0027] Specifically, the flow guiding device includes an inclined flow guiding plate 15, which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the corresponding placement plate 4 via a connecting rod 16. Several evenly distributed flow guiding holes 17 are opened on one side of the top surface of the flow guiding plate 15. Two baffles 24, distributed front and rear, are installed on the top surface of each flow guiding plate 15. The flow guiding plate 15 can catch the water flowing from the through holes of the placement plate 4, and then allow it to fall through the flow guiding holes 17, thus preventing the water from the placement plate 4 from contacting the beans below and preventing contamination of the beans. Finally, the water collects at the bottom of the box 3.

[0028] Specifically, the water circulation assembly includes a water tank 18, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base 1. Two water inlet pipes 19, distributed horizontally, are installed on the top surface of the water tank 18. The top ends of the water inlet pipes 19 are connected to the interior of the tank body 3. Water pipes 20 are installed on both sides of the water tank 18, and each water pipe 20 is connected to a corresponding water pump 7. Water falling to the bottom of the tank body 3 enters the tank body 18 through the water inlet pipes 19. After being filtered by multiple filter screens 21, it enters the water pump 7 through the water pipes 20, thus achieving water recycling and reducing resource waste.

[0029] Specifically, the water tank 18 is equipped with several vertically distributed filter screens 21, with the filter diameter of the filter screens 21 decreasing sequentially from top to bottom. This sequential decrease in filter diameter from top to bottom improves the filtration effect.

[0030] Specifically, the front two sides of the box body 3 are hinged with boxes 22, which are transparent. The boxes 22 enable the box body 3 to form a closed space.

[0031] Specifically, each of the four corners of the base 1 is equipped with casters 23, and each caster 23 has a braking function. The rolling of the casters 23 facilitates the movement of the device and improves its flexibility.

[0032] This solution also includes a controller, the location of which is set by the operator according to the actual situation during operation. The controller is used to control the electrical components used in this solution. The controller is one of an Intel processor, AMD processor, PLC controller, ARM processor, or microcontroller. It is used in conjunction with a motherboard, memory modules, storage media, and power supply, which is AC power or a lithium battery. When a display screen is provided, a graphics card is also provided. For the operating principle of the controller, please refer to "Principles of Automatic Control", "Principles and Application Simulation Cases of Microcontrollers", and "Principles and Applications of Sensors" published by Tsinghua University Press. Other books in this field can also be consulted. Other automation control and electrical components not mentioned are knowledge well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] When using this device, first place the bean-filled frame 5 on the placement plate 4, then close the door 22. The water pump 7 starts working, pumping water into the horizontal pipe 8, then through the horizontal pipe 8 into the connecting sleeve 9, then through the inlet 12 into the vertical pipe 11, then through the vertical pipe 11 into the connecting pipe 13, and finally spraying out through the nozzle 14. At the same time, the motor 10 works, driving the vertical pipe 11 to rotate. The rotation of the vertical pipe 11 drives the connecting rod 13 and the nozzle 14 to rotate, thus ensuring that the water is sprayed evenly. The water is poured onto the beans in the placement frame 5; the flow plate 15 can catch the water flowing from the through hole of the placement plate 4, and then fall through the guide hole 17, thereby preventing the water flowing from the placement plate 4 from contacting the beans below and preventing the beans from being contaminated. Finally, the water falls to the bottom of the box 3; the water falling to the bottom of the box 3 enters the box 18 through the water inlet pipe 19, and after being filtered by multiple filter screens 21, it enters the water pump 7 through the water pipe 20, thereby realizing water recycling and reducing resource waste.

[0035] This invention features a water spraying component that evenly sprays water onto the beans, ensuring they are in full and even contact with moisture and guaranteeing a high germination rate. Simultaneously, a flow guiding component directs water to the bottom of the container, preventing water from above from contaminating the beans below. Furthermore, a water circulation component enables water recycling, avoiding resource waste, saving costs, and providing greater convenience for users.
