Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a bean sprout incubator for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Bean sprout cultivation in food processing refers to the process of allowing bean seeds to germinate and grow in a suitable environment through artificially controlled environmental conditions, eventually forming edible bean sprouts. In order to assist in the stable cultivation of bean sprouts for food processing, a bean sprout cultivation box for food processing is needed.

[0003] Traditional bean sprout cultivation boxes for food processing typically involve planting bean sprouts inside the box and using the potting soil inside to aid their growth. However, traditional devices are difficult to adapt to different planting areas, which affects the stable irrigation and cultivation of the bean sprouts. Furthermore, traditional devices cannot adjust the height of the watering equipment according to the growth status of the bean sprouts, thus affecting the stable use of the device.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This bean sprout incubator for food processing utilizes a motor and a threaded rod. The motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, which in turn moves a slider. The slider then adjusts the position of the spray head, allowing it to stably spray water onto the bean sprouts at different locations inside the incubator. The spray head rotates on the inner wall of the slider, causing a positioning wheel to rotate. This, in turn, uses a spring to push a protruding rod upwards within the inner wall of the cylinder. The convex surface of the protruding rod engages with the concave surface of the positioning groove, thus assisting in angle limiting of the spray head and ensuring stable adjustment based on the condition of the bean sprouts.

[0012] 2. This bean sprout incubator for food processing uses a square plate and an adjusting block in conjunction to move the adjusting block towards the inner wall of the positioning frame, thereby assisting the adjusting block to move into the inner wall of the positioning frame. Then, the support rod is moved upward, thereby using the support rod to drive the positioning frame upward, thereby assisting in adjusting the height of the spray head. Then, a spring pushes the square plate in the inner wall of the positioning frame to drive the adjusting block to move, so that the outer edge of the adjusting block passes through the inner wall of the positioning frame and connects with the inner wall of the adjusting frame, thereby assisting in adjusting the spray head according to the height of the bean sprouts.

[0013] 3. This bean sprout incubator for food processing, through the cooperation of the adjusting rod and the limiting plate, places the side of the incubator body near the bottom with the inner wall of the placement rack. Then, the adjusting rod drives the outer edge of the limiting plate through the inner wall of slide groove one and slide groove two and the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove. Then, the adjusting rod is rotated, thereby using the adjusting rod to drive the limiting plate to be limited and connected in the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove, thereby assisting the placement rack and the incubator body to be stably connected and erected.

[0014] 4. This bean sprout incubator for food processing uses a water pump and connecting pipe to supply water from inside the water storage box to the spray head through the connecting pipe. The spray head then irrigates the bean sprouts inside the incubator. A filter plate helps drain the water back into the water storage box, allowing excess water to be recycled and reused.

A protruding rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring 22. The outer edge of the protruding rod 23 is slidably sleeved with the inner wall of the cylinder 21. The shape and size of the convex surface at the top of the protruding rod 23 are adapted to the shape and size of the concave surface of the positioning groove 19. Through the cooperation of the spring 22 and the protruding rod 23, the spring 22 pushes the protruding rod 23 to move in the inner wall of the cylinder 21. The convex surface of the protruding rod 23 is then connected to the concave surface of the positioning groove 19, thereby assisting the positioning wheel 18 in driving the water spray head 17 to perform angle limiting.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the side of the placement rack 2 is provided with a first groove 27, and the side of the incubator body 3 is provided with a second groove 28. The inner wall of the second groove 28 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 29. The inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 29 is rotatably connected to a limiting plate 30. By installing the limiting plate 30, the placement rack 2 is connected to the incubator body 3. Then, the outer edge of the limiting plate 30 passes through the inner wall of the first groove 27 and the inner wall of the second groove 28 to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 29. After that, the limiting plate 30 is rotated to help the limiting plate 30 be limited to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 29.

The slider 16 then drives the spray head 17 to adjust its position, which in turn drives the positioning wheel 18 to rotate. A spring 22 pushes the protruding rod 23 upwards within the inner wall of the cylinder 21, allowing the convex surface of the protruding rod 23 to engage with the concave surface of the positioning groove 19, thus assisting the positioning wheel 18 in limiting its position. When the incubator body 3 needs to be disassembled, the adjusting rod 31 drives the limiting plate 30 to rotate within the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 29, thus assisting the limiting plate 30 in adjusting its position. The outer edge of 0 is connected to the inner wall of the second slide 28, and then the adjusting rod 31 is used to drive the outer edge of the limiting plate 30 away from the inner wall of the second slide 28 and the inner wall of the first slide 27, thereby assisting the disassembly of the placement rack 2 and the incubator body 3. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the spray head 17, press the adjusting block 10, and then use the adjusting block 10 to drive the side of the square plate 9 to slide in the inner wall of the positioning frame 7. Then move the support rod 6 up until the slider 16 moves to the required height. Then use the spring 8 to push the square plate 9 in the inner wall of the positioning frame 7, and then use the square plate 9 to drive the outer edge of the adjusting block 10 to be limited to the inner wall of the adjusting frame 5.
