Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bean sprout machine technology, and in particular to a bean sprout machine that can protect the roots and exchange air. Background Technology

[0002] Bean sprout machines generally use a water pump to periodically pump water to a sprinkler blade, which then evenly sprays water onto the bean sprouts, meeting their water requirements for growth. The water inside the machine is recycled. For example, a bean sprout machine with an improved structure is disclosed in patent number CN201520249167.1. These types of bean sprout machines mainly have the following shortcomings: 1. Ventilation holes are usually covered with top covers, which can only ventilate the upper part of the cultivation tray. The lower part of the cultivation tray is covered by the roots of the bean sprouts, making it difficult to ventilate, and the roots of the bean sprouts will rot and smell bad.

[0003] 2. It is difficult to observe the water quality and level of the circulating water at the bottom of the cultivation tank, making it difficult to effectively change or replenish the water according to the water conditions.

[0004] Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a bean sprout machine that can protect the roots and provide ventilation.

[0024] Example Reference Figures 1 to 4 The present invention proposes a bean sprout machine with root protection and ventilation, comprising: a base 10, a water storage tank 11 disposed in the base 10, and a cultivation bucket 20 placed on the water storage tank 11; a cultivation tray 30 is disposed above the cultivation bucket 20; the water storage tank 11 is provided with a spray pipe 40 extending upward and passing through the cultivation tray 30; a circulation pump 50 is disposed in the base 10, and the circulation pump 50 is connected to the spray pipe 40. An air exchange trough 60 is provided below the cultivation tank 20 or above the water storage tank 11. The air exchange trough 60 is connected to the upper space of the water storage tank 11 and is located below the cultivation tray 30.

[0025] In this invention, a stable air circulation channel is cleverly constructed below the cultivation tray 30 where the bean sprout roots are located by creating an ventilation trough 60 connected to the upper space of the water storage tank 11 below the cultivation bucket 20 or above the water storage tank 11. Fresh external air can enter the upper space of the water storage tank 11 through the ventilation trough 60 and further diffuse to the lower area of ​​the entire cultivation bucket 20, effectively solving the problem of oxygen deficiency caused by the bean sprout roots being in a closed, high-humidity environment for a long time. This active ventilation mechanism can significantly inhibit the growth of anaerobic bacteria, fundamentally preventing the occurrence of root rot and foul odor in bean sprouts, and improving the survival rate and quality of bean sprouts.

[0026] In this embodiment, an inwardly protruding boss structure 21 is provided below the cultivation tank 20; the boss structure 21 and the misaligned space between the water storage tank 11 or the cultivation tank 20 form a ventilation groove 60. The boss structure 21 serves to support the cultivation tank 20 or the cultivation tray 30, enhancing structural stability; on the other hand, it integrates functionality (ventilation) and structure (support) into one, eliminating the need for additional parts, simplifying the mold structure and production process, reducing manufacturing costs, and achieving an optimized unity of function and structure.

[0027] Specifically, the cultivation container 20 has at least two protruding structures 21 arranged circumferentially. The presence of at least two protruding structures 21 along the circumference of the cultivation container 20 ensures the uniform distribution of the ventilation channels 60 in the circumferential direction. This symmetrical, multi-point ventilation method avoids the "dead zones" that may be formed by uneven local ventilation, making the airflow in the entire bean sprout root zone more uniform and comprehensive, further optimizing the overall ventilation effect, and providing a healthy growth environment for the bean sprout roots without any dead zones.

[0028] In this embodiment, several supporting ribs 22 are also provided below the cultivation bucket 20; the cultivation tray 30 is placed above the supporting ribs 22 and / or the boss structure 21. By adding the supporting rib structure 22, which together with the boss structure 21 support the cultivation tray 30, the load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the cultivation tray 30 are greatly enhanced, preventing deformation or collapse due to excessive weight of the bean sprouts and culture medium. The arrangement of the supporting ribs 22 can be flexibly designed, ensuring stable support without excessively obstructing airflow, maintaining good ventilation while ensuring structural strength.

[0029] In this embodiment, the boss structure 21 has a grille hole structure. This increases the effective ventilation area, making airflow smoother and the ventilation efficiency higher. Secondly, the grille holes also act as a filter, balancing efficient ventilation with system protection.

[0030] In this embodiment, a transparent water level gauge 70 is embedded in the outer wall of the base 10; the water level gauge 70 is connected to the water storage tank 11. Users can easily monitor the real-time water level in the water storage tank 11 without opening the cover or moving the cultivation tank 20, greatly facilitating daily water level monitoring and replenishment operations. This effectively avoids problems such as pump damage due to low water levels or ventilation issues due to high water levels, improving the convenience and safety of the equipment.

[0031] In some embodiments, a drain outlet 71 is provided below the water level gauge 70; the drain outlet 71 is provided with a plug 72. Positioning the drain outlet 71 below the water level gauge 70 forms an integrated water management module. This layout allows users to conveniently perform drainage operations while observing the water level.

[0032] In this embodiment, the base 10 is provided with a longitudinally extending limiting groove 12, and the outer side of the water level gauge 70 is provided with a limiting rail 73, which is slidably installed in the limiting groove 12. Through the sliding engagement structure between the limiting groove 12 and the limiting rail 73, the installation process of the water level gauge 70 becomes simple, precise, and fast, facilitating quick and easy assembly.

[0033] Specifically, the base 10 includes an upper shell 13 and a lower shell 14, which are assembled separately. A limiting groove 12 is provided on the upper shell 13. When the lower shell 14 is installed, it can abut against the bottom of the water level gauge 70. This structure ensures that the water level gauge 70 is securely "clamped" between the upper and lower shells, providing reliable fixation and preventing loosening. At the same time, this split structure simplifies the installation and maintenance process of internal parts, facilitating production and after-sales service.

[0034] In this embodiment, a water spraying blade 41 is provided at the upper end of the spray pipe 40; a top cover 80 is provided above the cultivation tank 20.

[0035] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
