[0024] See Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model discloses an intelligent peanut sprout cultivation device, comprising a cultivation box 1. The cultivation box 1 contains a shelf 2, the size of which is smaller than the inner wall size of the cultivation box 1. Several water tanks 3 are detachably mounted on the shelf 2. A water supply component 4 connected to each water tank 3 is mounted on the cultivation box 1. Several mesh trays 5 for placing peanut seeds are detachably mounted inside each water tank 3. A cooling component 6 is mounted at the top of the cultivation box 1, and a ventilation component 7 is mounted on the side wall of the cultivation box 1 between adjacent water tanks 3. Peanut seeds are placed in the mesh trays for soaking and germination. The water supply component automatically supplies water to the water tanks. The ventilation component provides a suitable environment for the germination and growth of the peanut sprouts, preventing root rot during growth. Furthermore, to ensure the germination effect of the peanut sprouts, light can be blocked from the ventilation component.
[0025] Above the water tank 3, pressure plates 8 are movably mounted to apply pressure to the peanut sprouts. Position sensors 9, which cooperate with each pressure plate 8, are located on the side wall of the cultivation box 1. When the pressure plates 8 rise to engage with the position sensors 9, the cooling component 6 freezes and cools the interior of the cultivation box 1. The pressure applied by the pressure plates promotes the growth and development of the peanut sprouts. Once the sprouts reach a certain height, the pressure plates, in conjunction with the position sensors, activate the cooling component, lowering the temperature inside the cultivation box to 0-4℃, thus rapidly freezing the peanut sprouts for two hours.
[0026] The entire cultivation process is automated, which can effectively improve cultivation efficiency. Furthermore, the entire process from soaking to freezing is carried out inside the cultivation chamber, which can effectively improve space utilization.
[0027] In this embodiment, the incubation box 1 includes a box body 1a, a door panel 1b hinged to the box body 1a, a sealing layer 1c on the inner side of the door panel 1b, and a clearance portion 1d at the front end of the sealing layer 1c; both the box body 1a and the door panel 1b are provided with a thermal insulation material layer. The thermal insulation material layer is made of polyurethane thermal insulation material, which can be set on the outer wall of the box body and the door panel, or the sealing layer on the box body and the door panel can be directly made of polyurethane thermal insulation material.
[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the spacing between adjacent shelves 2 is 15-18cm, and the position sensor 9 is positioned 14-16cm above the bottom of the water tank 3. Sufficient spacing between adjacent shelves provides adequate space for peanut sprout growth and maintains good ventilation. The position sensor is set according to the finished height of the peanut sprouts, which are typically 13-15cm long.
[0029] In this embodiment, the shelf 2 is provided with a guide rail 10, and the water tank 3 is movably mounted on the guide rail 10. A drag handle 11 is provided at the outer end of the water tank 3. By movably mounting the water tank on the guide rail, the water tank can be pulled out after cultivation to facilitate the removal of the mesh tray and peanut sprouts.
[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the water supply component 4 includes a water inlet pipe 4a installed on the incubator 1, and a water distribution pipe 4b on the water inlet pipe 4a that cooperates with each layer of water tank 3; a water level sensor 4c is installed in each water tank 3, and the distance between the water level sensor 4c and the bottom surface of the water tank 3 is 0.8-1.5cm. The water inlet pipe is connected to an external water source, and a corresponding electromagnetic switch is installed on the water distribution pipe of each layer. The water level sensor detects the water volume in each layer of water tank, adds an appropriate amount of water during soaking, and can monitor the water volume in real time during the production process to replenish the water tank.
[0031] In this embodiment, a mounting frame 12 is provided near the opening end of the water tank 3, and a positioning ring 13 is provided on the outer wall of the grid tray 5. The grid tray 5 is mounted on the mounting frame 12 via the positioning ring 13. When the grid tray 5 is mounted on the mounting frame 12, there is a water passage gap 14 of 0.5-1.2cm between the bottom of the grid tray 5 and the inner bottom surface of the water tank 3, and there are water filling gaps 15 between the grid trays 5 at both ends and the inner wall of the water tank 3 to cooperate with the water supply component 4. The mounting frame supports the grid tray to form water passage gaps, ensuring that the water added to the water tank can contact the bottom of each grid tray and the peanut seeds. The water filling gaps on both sides are used to facilitate the water flow into the water tank and prevent the grid tray from blocking the outlet or the water flow from being directly added to the grid tray at the edge.
[0032] In this embodiment, the refrigeration component 6 includes air inlet pipes 6a symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper end of the incubator 1, a first fan 6b is provided on the air inlet pipes 6a, and a refrigeration compressor unit 6c is connected to the first fan 6b. The refrigeration compressor unit can be directly installed on the top of the incubator or it can be externally connected, as long as it can introduce cold air into the air inlet pipes and be delivered by the first fan.
[0033] In this embodiment, the ventilation component 7 includes ventilation holes 7a symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the cultivation box 1, and a second fan 7b is provided on the ventilation holes 7a. The symmetrically arranged second fans on both sides provide convection airflow, effectively supplying oxygen to the cultivation box, ensuring the growth of peanut seedlings and preventing root rot. Simultaneously, the fan blades of the second fans can reduce light entry to a certain extent, providing a suitable environment for the growth of peanut seedlings. Furthermore, shading louvers can be installed at the air inlet of the second fans to further reduce light entry.
[0034] In this embodiment, a drain pipe 16 with a valve is provided on the outer side wall of the water tank 3. When the water tank is large and heavy, it is difficult to remove the water tank directly for emptying after cultivation. The drain pipe facilitates drainage.
[0035] During cultivation, first place the peanut seeds on a grid tray, then place the grid tray in each layer of water tank and place the water tank on the shelf, close the door, connect the water source and start watering for soaking.
[0036] After soaking for three days, the seeds enter the germination period, and the first fan is started for ventilation. When the seedlings grow and lift the pressure plate to match the position sensor, the refrigeration compressor unit and the second fan start to cool and freeze the inside of the chamber. After freezing for 2 hours, the refrigeration compressor unit and the second fan automatically shut off. At this time, the door can be opened to take out the cultivated peanut seedlings.
[0037] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
