Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household mung bean sprout cultivation device. Background Technology
[0002] Mung bean sprouts are tender sprouts that grow from mung beans after being soaked in warm water and germinated in the dark. They are a common type of edible sprout vegetable. They are grown from mung bean seeds and are generally white and tender. In home or workshop production, shallow plates or buckets are often used as containers. The water is changed several times a day to keep the environment moist, and direct sunlight is avoided to prevent the sprouts from turning green and becoming fibrous.
[0003] Currently, when making mung bean sprouts at home, buckets and other containers are commonly used. However, changing the water requires laborious tilting of the bucket. Since the mung bean sprouts inside lack fixed support, they are easily tilted, piled up, or even broken by the water flow. Furthermore, when blocking light, simple methods such as covering the top of the bucket with a black plastic bag or a pot lid are usually used. The black plastic bag is thin and easily blown away by the wind or accidentally lifted, allowing light to seep in. The pot lid is difficult to fit completely against the edge of the bucket, and light can leak through the gaps, failing to guarantee the light-blocking effect and seriously affecting the quality of the mung bean sprouts. Therefore, we provide a home mung bean sprout cultivation device. Utility Model Content

[0027] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4As shown: A household mung bean sprout cultivation device includes a cultivation cylinder 1 with a shading effect. A bottom cylinder 2 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom end of the cultivation cylinder 1. The cultivation cylinder 1 and the bottom cylinder 2 can be separated by twisting the cultivation cylinder 1, thus facilitating cleaning of the inside of the cultivation cylinder 1 and the bottom cylinder 2. A permeable plate 3 is provided inside the cultivation cylinder 1. When in use, the cultivation cylinder 1 can be placed in a normal indoor environment to achieve the optimal germination temperature for mung beans. The permeable plate 3 can support the mung beans. A light-shading component 4 is provided on the top of the cultivation cylinder 1. The light-shading component 4 includes an annular frame 401 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cultivation cylinder 1. An annular cylinder 402 is inserted into the annular frame 401. The top end of the annular cylinder 402 is fixedly connected to... A black light-blocking cloth 403 is provided. By inserting the annular cylinder 402 into the annular frame 401, the black light-blocking cloth 403 will block the top of the culture cylinder 1, ensuring its light-blocking effect. The inner wall of the annular cylinder 402 is provided with annularly arranged connecting grooves 404. Each connecting groove 404 has a connecting block 405 slidably connected to its inner wall. One side of each connecting block 405 is connected to the outer surface of the annular cylinder 402. When the annular cylinder 402 is inserted into the annular frame 401, the connecting block 405 will be inserted into the connecting groove 404 at the same time. Then, the annular frame 401 can be rotated, and the connecting block 405 will enter the interior of the connecting groove 404 to stabilize the annular cylinder 402, further ensuring the light-blocking effect of the black light-blocking cloth 403.
[0028] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 5 With appendix Figure 6 As shown: The bottom cylinder 2 is equipped with a drainage component 5. The drainage component 5 includes a sealing plate 501 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom cylinder 2. The sealing plate 501 forms a sealed state above it, thereby ensuring that the water can fully soak and nourish the mung beans. A set of equally spaced drainage holes 502 are opened on the upper surface of the sealing plate 501. A movable column 503 is inserted into the inside of each drainage hole 502. An elastic sealing gasket 504 is provided on the outer surface of each movable column 503. The outer surface of the elastic sealing gasket 504 is in contact with the inner wall of the drainage hole 502. When the movable column 503 and the elastic sealing gasket 504 are inside the drainage hole 502, the elastic sealing gasket 504 will be tightly attached to the drainage hole 502, thereby preventing water leakage above the sealing plate 501.
[0029] As attached Figure 5 With appendix Figure 6As shown: The drainage assembly 5 also includes a top-pull structure set above the sealing plate 501 for adjusting the position of the moving column 503 to drain water from the drain hole 502. The top-pull structure includes a threaded rod 505 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the bottom cylinder 2. A moving plate 506 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 505. A set of top-pull plates 507 are hinged to the bottom surface of the moving plate 506. The bottom end of each top-pull plate 507 is hinged to the top end of the moving column 503. When the water needs to be changed, the threaded rod 505 is rotated, the moving plate 506 will move, and at the same time, the top end of the top-pull plate 507 will move. The top-pull plate 507 will gradually unfold, and its bottom end will push the moving column 503. The moving column 503 will then drive the elastic sealing gasket 504 to gradually detach from the drain hole 502. The water inside the cultivation cylinder 1 will gradually drain out from the drain hole 502, so that the mung bean sprouts are in a relatively stable environment when draining, which can prevent the mung bean sprouts from accumulating or even breaking when changing the water.
[0030] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown: The bottom of the bottom cylinder 2 is provided with a ring-shaped drainage groove 6, and the bottom of the bottom cylinder 2 is fixedly connected with a ring-shaped anti-slip seat 7. The anti-slip seat 7 can stably support the bottom cylinder 2 and the culture cylinder 1. The water discharged during water change can flow out from the drainage groove 6, which can prevent it from accumulating inside the bottom cylinder 2.
[0031] As attached Figure 5 As shown: Each movable column 503 has a stabilizing hole 511 on its inner wall. A limit rod 512 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each stabilizing hole 511. A support plate 513 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of a set of limit rods 512. Both ends of the support plate 513 are connected to the inner wall of the bottom cylinder 2. The stabilizing hole 511 and the limit rod 512 work together to stabilize the movable column 503, ensuring smoother movement of the movable column 503 in detaching from and entering the leakage hole 502. A guide frame 508 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 506. A guide plate 509 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide frame 508. Both ends of the guide plate 509 are connected to the inner wall of the bottom cylinder 2. A limit block 510 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the guide plate 509. The limit block 510 is located on the left side of the guide frame 508. By cooperating with the guide frame 508 and the guide plate 509, the moving plate 506 can be guided, thereby ensuring that the top pull plate 507 can stably drive the moving column 503 to rise and fall. At the same time, the limit block 510 can limit the movement of the guide frame 508 and the moving plate 506 to prevent the top pull plate 507 from breaking.
[0032] Working principle: Place the cultivation cylinder 1 indoors, then place the mung beans on the permeable plate 3. Pour an appropriate amount of water into the cultivation cylinder 1. Next, insert the annular cylinder 402 into the annular frame 401, and insert the connecting block 405 into the connecting groove 404. Then rotate the annular frame 401, causing the connecting block 405 to rotate into the connecting groove 404. The black light-blocking cloth 403 will then shield the top of the cultivation cylinder 1, ensuring its light-blocking effect and guaranteeing the quality of the mung bean sprouts. When it is necessary to change the water, rotate the threaded rod 505 to move the plate 506. The device will move, which will also cause the top of the top pull plate 507 to move. The top pull plate 507 will gradually unfold, and its bottom end will push the moving column 503. The moving column 503 will cause the elastic sealing gasket 504 to gradually detach from the water leakage hole 502. The water inside the cultivation cylinder 1 will gradually drain out from the water leakage hole 502. After the water is drained out, the threaded rod 505 will be rotated in the opposite direction, and the top pull plate 507 will lift the moving column 503 upward. The elastic sealing gasket 504 will seal the water leakage hole 502. Then, new water can be added, thus avoiding the accumulation or even breakage of mung bean sprouts when changing the water.
