Description

Technical Field

[0036] The inner box 3 is installed on the inner wall of the outer box 1. The top of the inner box 3 is open and the bottom is provided with several drainage holes 4.

[0037] A number of breathable partitions 5 are provided, and the number of breathable partitions 5 are installed at intervals on the two opposite inner side walls of the inner box 3. The number of breathable partitions 5 divide the inner cavity of the inner box 3 into a number of brown rice germination chambers 6.

[0038] An environmental control mechanism, which includes a humidification component and a ventilation component, is installed on the outer shell 1 of the housing. The output end of the ventilation component is connected to several brown rice germination chambers 6.

[0039] The buffer cover 7 is installed on the inner top wall of the outer shell 1. Several exhaust holes 8 are opened at the bottom of the buffer cover 7. A heating component is installed inside the buffer cover 7, and the humidification component is connected to the inner cavity of the buffer cover 7.

[0040] The heating component, humidification component, and ventilation component are all electrically connected to the control system 2.

[0041] With this configuration, the inner chamber 3 is divided into several independent brown rice germination chambers 6 by a breathable partition 5. The ventilation components enable ventilation of the brown rice germination chambers 6, and the bottom drainage holes 4 drain excess water. The humidification components spray water mist into the buffer cover 7, which is then heated by the heating components and discharged into the brown rice germination chambers 6 through several exhaust holes 8. This allows the water mist to mix thoroughly with the hot air. The buffer cover 7 acts as a mixing chamber, ensuring that the heated air and water mist are fully mixed. The mixture is then evenly distributed to each chamber through the exhaust holes 8, avoiding local temperature differences and improving the uniformity of brown rice germination in the brown rice germination chambers 6, thus improving the quality of the germinated brown rice.

[0042] This invention uses a control system 2 to control the output power of the ventilation component, heating component, and humidification component, thereby achieving automatic adjustment of temperature and humidity in the brown rice germination chamber 6 and improving the brown rice germination efficiency.

[0049] The clean water in the water tank 9 is pumped into the drain pipe 10 by the water pump, and then transported to the atomizing nozzle 11 through the drain pipe 10 to form micron-level water mist. After mixing with hot air, the water is evenly discharged into each chamber.

[0050] The design is further optimized so that the heating component includes an electric heating rod 12 installed on the inner wall of the buffer cover 7, and the electric heating rod 12 is electrically connected to the control system 2.
