Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bean sprouts-cultivating tube for domestic use, which enables easy cultivation of bean sprouts such as bean sprouts or mung bean sprouts at home.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, it has been pointed out that the bean sprouts food, which is cultivated in large quantities at bean sprouts cultivation plants and supplied, has a problem in hygiene. There is a tendency for the tendency to increase. In response to such demands, various forms of domestic bean sprouts cultivators have already been proposed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Such a conventional bean sprouts cultivator has a structure in which a separate water tank is provided at the bottom of the cultivating cylinder, and the water in the water tank is pumped above the cultivating cylinder by a small pump and forcedly sprinkled downward. Therefore, it requires a separate water supply channel and sprinkling device to transfer water into the sprouts cultivator, resulting in a complicated structure and high production cost. There was a sanitary problem due to the continuous circulation of water. The present invention was devised to solve the problems of the conventional domestic bean sprouts cultivator as described above, and eliminates the use of a separate automatic water supply device or sprinkling device that complicates the device. An object is to provide a household bean sprouts cultivating cylinder having a simple structure and capable of self-cultivating bean sprouts. Another object of the present invention is to ensure that the water supplied from the upper part of the cultivation tube to the inside of the cultivation tube is appropriately distributed and supplied over the entire surface of the cultivation tube, and the upper part of the cultivation tube according to its growth. A certain vertical load is applied to the growing bean sprouts so that the growth of the bean sprouts can be properly adjusted so that healthy growing bean sprouts can be obtained.

[0004]

[Means and Actions for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the device of the present invention has several ribs standing on the inner wall of the cultivation cylinder adjacent to the upper part of the cultivation floor, and has a short cylindrical peripheral wall inside the cultivation cylinder body. It is characterized in that a movable growth plate having a partition wall in which a large number of small-diameter water supply holes are drilled is installed in the middle part of the so that sprouts and the like grow while pushing up the movable growth plate during growth. When water is supplied from above the movable growth plate, the water is evenly distributed and supplied to the cultivation floor through a large number of small water supply holes in the growth plate. Promotes healthy growth.

【Example】

 The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is broadly divided into an upper opening type cultivation cylinder body (10), a lid (12) placed on the cultivation cylinder body (10), and a cultivation cylinder body (10). And a movable growth plate (16) installed in the cultivation cylinder body (10) so as to be vertically movable. The cultivation tube main body (10) has a cylindrical cross section, and a cultivation floor (20) having several radial slit-shaped drainage ports (13) on the bottom surface is formed, and an inner wall adjacent above the cultivation floor (20). A number of ribs (22) are formed on the cultivation floor (20) so as to secure an initial cultivation space at a certain height, and drainage from the drainage port (18) of the cultivation floor (20) is performed. A discharge port (24) for discharging the generated water to the saucer (14) is formed at the lower end of the cultivation cylinder body (10).

The movable growth plate (16) is installed in the cultivation cylinder body (10). The movable growth plate (16) has a short cylindrical peripheral wall (28), and a partition wall (30) having a large number of small-diameter water supply holes (28) is formed in an intermediate portion of the wall, and a central upper portion of the partition wall (30). A picking piece (32) is erected upright. When the bean sprouts (S) were put into the cultivation floor (20) to grow the bean sprouts and the movable growth plate (16) was loaded into the cultivation cylinder body (10), the bottom surface of the cylindrical peripheral wall (26) was It is placed on a rib (22) formed above and adjacent to the cultivation floor (20), and a certain initial cultivation space is formed on the upper part of the cultivation floor (20). On the other hand, the lid (12) has a small-diameter vent hole (34) formed in a portion connected to the upper end of the cultivation cylinder body (10), and sprouts that grow together with the drainage port (18) of the cultivation floor (20). The air supplied to the can be circulated.

According to the present invention thus formed, the bean sprouts (S) are first placed in the cultivation cylinder body (10) with the lid (12) and the movable growth plate (16) removed, and these are grown. After deploying on the floor (20), the movable growth plate (16) is loaded into the cultivation tube body (10). At this time, the lower part of the cylindrical peripheral wall (26) of the movable growth plate (16) is placed on the rib (22) of the cultivation tube body (10). After the preparation as described above, water is supplied from above the cultivation cylinder main body (10). The water supplied is evenly distributed over the bean sprouts (S) spread on the cultivation floor (20) through a large number of water supply holes (28) formed in the partition wall (30) of the movable growth plate (16). And so on. After supplying water to the cultivation cylinder, a lid (12) is attached to the cultivation cylinder main body (10) to darken the inside of the cultivation cylinder main body (10) so as not to hinder the germination and growth of the bean sprouts (S). .

When the bean sprouts germinate and grow by repeatedly supplying water and maintaining an appropriate temperature, the sprouts grow while pushing up the movable growth plate (16). In this way, it was found from experience that the movable growth plate (16) resulted in vertical load on the growing sprouts and that the sprouts under vertical load grow soundly. For example, such a vertical load is suitably 3-5 g / cm ² . Thus, the sprouts continue to grow while pushing up the movable growth plate (16), and at that time, the lid (12) is opened once or twice a day to supply water to the movable growth plate (16). The supplied water is absorbed by the sprouts in a required amount, and the excess water is discharged to the saucer (14) through the drainage port (13) and the drainage hole (24) of the cultivation floor (20). When the bean sprouts grow while pushing up the movable growth plate (16) and the movable growth plate (16) comes into contact with the back surface of the lid (12), the lid (12) is removed from the cultivation tube body (10), and the movable growth plate is moved. Even if the plate (16) is taken out, the bean sprouts can be harvested and used as a meal.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described in detail above, sprouts can be easily cultivated at home with a cultivation tube having a simple structure, and a physical load is continuously applied to the sprouts. By doing so, it is possible to obtain the bean sprouts that have grown healthy.
