DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kind of automatic sprouts for bean sprouts, and more particularly to a method for sprouts of bean sprouts which can be completed without having to exchange cultivation places in the same grid-shaped cultivation board. This equipment is equipped with a device that can automatically and automatically distribute the number of bean seeds to be accommodated in each of the gridded flooring grids of the grid-shaped cultivation board based on the “expansion ratio”, and grows the bean seeds into sprouts. The present invention relates to an automatic seeding facility for bean sprouts, which does not cause necrosis of bean seeds due to an excessive quantity of bean seeds and all accompanying spoilage of bean sprouts, and the loss caused thereby, and has a very high industrial value.

2. Description of the Related Art It is well known that the sprouts of the sprouts are not good in taste. If cultivating green sprouts, the roots of the plants have geotropism and the leaves have phototropism. ,
The sprouts grow straight and upward, so that the root cutting operation can be performed relatively easily during collection. On the other hand, the growth of bean sprouts grown in a dark room is non-directional and arbitrary, but if a multi-lattice grid with a net at the bottom is laid on the basin, the beard of the bean seeds will be turned downward. The buds grow upward because of the growth. In this way, the root growth of the sprouts cultivated in the dark room can be easily performed by the oriented growth in the grid with the mesh.

[0003] However, when sprouts are cultivated, all seeds need to go through a soaking process, and after the sowing and cleavage of the seed coat, germination and germination processes are further advanced. However, when the seed coat is cleaved, the buds of some seeds extend long, and when the seeds after soaking are further replaced in a mesh grid, the buds are inadvertently broken or damaged, making them unable to grow and necrotic. In some cases, the entire bean sprouts could be destroyed by bacterial infestation. However, if the seeds are placed in a mesh grid and soaked,
Although the problem of broken buds does not occur, if the seeds are overcrowded, expansion after immersion blocks the grid with grids and causes necrosis. Conversely, if there are too few seeds, there is an economic disadvantage. Was brought. In addition, the size of the bean seeds was not averaged for each grain, and when the bean sowing was carried out using a commercially available counting bean sowing machine, the bean seeds did not match the actual use.
