The present invention relates to a cultivator of chlorella sprouts. In more detail, the submerged chlorella sprouts grower is equipped with an auxiliary tank capable of maintaining the rapid and fresh environment of the supply and exhaust and the water temperature control and replenishment of the sprouts by the air supply means forming a horizontal airflow in the bean sprout cultivation room. It is about.

A typical bean sprouts grower is to cultivate the soybeans and ashes on the bottom of the drain hole, spread the soybeans on it, and then darken and sprinkle water from time to time. In contrast to the growth of soybean sprouts by the assimilation of plants in sunlight, roots grow in the form of stems by nutrients and moisture contained in soybeans in the dark, and heat and carbon dioxide are released during the growth of bean sprouts. At this time, if the ventilation is poor, there is a problem that the harmful sprouts are propagated in the bean sprouts having the moisture of the cultivation water, so that the bean sprouts are easily rotted.

Conventionally, in order to prevent the decay of the bean sprouts sterilized soybean sprout cultivation soybean with a chemical agent, there is a problem that the residual drug is harmful to the human body.

In addition, it is also known to increase the disease resistance due to the health of the bean sprouts by cultivating the bean sprouts with cultivated water containing organic fertilizer.

Recently, chlorella sprouts cultivation method is known, which uses purified water in which chlorella sprouts are dissolved, such as elvan, as chlorella sprouts.

As an example of the prior art of the submersible bean sprouts cultivator in connection with the present invention, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 1999-0041866 (published on Dec. 27, 1999), wherein several bean sprouts are placed in a water tank and pumped at regular intervals. Filling the cultivation water in the tank so that each bean sprouts flooded, and after a predetermined time to drain the water of the tank with a pump again to expose the bean sprouts exposed to the air. It belongs to the above-mentioned typical bean sprouts growing machine, which cannot handle large amounts of bean sprouts, consumes a lot of power energy to fill or empty the growing water in the tank, and there are disadvantages in that it is difficult to grow large amounts of bean sprouts industrially.

As another example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0302906 (August 06, 2001) provides a water supply pipe and an exhaust pipe connected to each growing box placed in multiple layers in a growing room of a growing machine to supply water by a water supply pipe. After immersion, the water from the growing box is drained again by the exhaust pipe, and the bean sprouts are grown by repeating the beheading and draining.

The above-mentioned cultivator is very complicated in piping structure of the water supply pipe and drainage pipe, and the sprouts grow up, so each time the bean sprouts are shipped to each cultivation box, the water supply pipe and the drainage pipe must be welded or separated, which is cumbersome and requires a lot of effort. There is this. In particular, the cultivator is difficult to apply to the cultivation of chlorella sprouts for the purpose of the present invention because there is no description of the temperature of the cultivation water, the ventilation state inside the cultivator.

As another prior art, Korean Utility Model Registration Publication No. 20-0351095 (August 17, 2004) discloses a vertically connected air circulation passage on both left and right sides of a cultivation room of a cabinet-type planter with a thermal insulation wall and a damper on the upper side of the cultivator. The air supply port and the exhaust port is provided in common to be configured to discharge the air in the cultivation room by the blower or to inject external air, the water in the cultivation tank is to be maintained at a specified temperature by a separate cooling device.

However, the cultivator is impossible to exhaust to the side of the cultivator made of a heat insulation wall, and the inside air pressure of the growing heat of the bean sprouts acts as the upper side of the cultivation chamber so that the outside air injected from the top of the cultivation chamber is It is difficult to keep the environment of the cultivation room fresh as it is bypassed in the middle part without reaching the lower side.

In addition, since the water of the limited capacity of the tank installed in the lower part of the planting room is repeatedly used, even if the water temperature is maintained at a predetermined temperature by the cooling device, the water quality of the planting water gradually decreases and becomes contaminated as the watering step is repeated. The cultivation effect of chlorella sprouts is not high.

One of the important requirements for growing chlorella sprouts by nature is to keep the growing environment fresh as well as the temperature conditions of the growing water. Since soybeans called chlorella culture contain chlorella, chlorella absorbed by soybeans has a bacteriostatic action that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Eschrichia coli, and Candida albicans. have. This bacteriostatic action is to prevent the corruption of bean sprouts. In order for this bacteriostatic action to be maintained, the sprouting environment must be kept fresh. Since the submerged sprouts grower is difficult to maintain a fresh environment, it is difficult to increase the effect of growing chlorella sprouts under the same conditions.

An object of the present invention is to provide heat and carbon monoxide emitted from a bean sprouts growing box accommodated in a horizontal airflow area by forming a horizontal airflow in the cultivation chamber by an air supply means and an exhaust means, particularly for submersible bean sprouts growing equipment. It is quickly discharged to the shortest distance on the left and right sides of the cultivation room to keep the bean sprout cultivation environment fresh all the time, thereby promoting the activation of the active ingredient of chlorella, so that there is no soybean (soybean husk) and soybean smelly. It is trying to provide a cultivator of nutrient-rich chlorella sprouts that can be reproduced.

Another object of the present invention is to install a separate auxiliary tank in a limited tank installed inside the cultivator to be correlated with each other outside the cultivation room to effectively supplement the cultivated water in which temperature control and weakly alkaline minerals are dissolved. The purpose is to provide a chlorella sprouts grower capable of cultivating fast-growing bean sprouts rich in essential nutrients with high quality cultivation in the environment.

Another object of the present invention is to simplify the structure of the bean sprout cultivator while each component is organically working to meet the object of the invention and is easy to use, high reliability of safety for bean sprout cultivation and lower production cost It is to provide chlorella sprouts grower.

Chlorella sprouts cultivator of the present invention, the air supply means consisting of a compressor and air conduit for continuously injecting fresh air into the cultivation room and a plurality of air supply holes perforated, and the injected air to the left and right shortest distance Outlets formed by grills facing the air supply pipes on the upper and lower surfaces on both side walls of the planter to form horizontal airflow and allow carbon monoxide to be quickly discharged by the horizontal airflow, and a general water pump, a water pipe, and many Combined with a cultivation tank having a conventional water supply means consisting of a water supply pipe formed with a nozzle, and an auxiliary tank that is easy to control the temperature of the cultivation water and supplement the purified water in association with the cultivation tank.

In the present invention, a bean sprout cultivation box containing soybeans called chlorella culture medium is placed in a multi-level upper and lower layers in a region of horizontal air flow formed by the air supply means and the exhaust port.

When the door of the planter is closed, the planting room becomes dark due to blocking external rays, and the water supply pump of the water supply stage intermittently runs every designated time, and the planting water in the tank is supplied from the upper layer of the planting box to the planting plant on the lower side through the water supply pipe. Feed so that the bean sprouts are submerged. The water pump operated for a certain time is stopped and the cultivation water filled in each cultivation box is gradually drained through the drainage mechanism, so that the bean sprouts are exposed and come into contact with the air, and during this immersion and drainage, the bean sprouts are absorbed by the soaked soybean. It grows while absorbing the components into tissue.

On the other hand, the compressor of the air supply means operates outside the cultivation room to continuously inject fresh air into the cultivation room. Keep the internal pressure in the growing room slightly high (about 0.1 atm) with the difference between the air supply and the air discharge. Therefore, the gas flows to the left and right sides in the exhaust section formed on the air supply pipe in the center of the cultivation chamber and the grower walls on both the left and right sides to form a horizontal airflow. The horizontal airflow is uniformly formed from the lower side to the upper side of the cultivation room.

Unlike the air circulation at the top and bottom of the conventional cultivator, the horizontal air flow is formed throughout the inner space of the cultivation room, so it is easy to supply oxygen to the bean sprouts, and the heat and carbon monoxide emitted from the bean sprout cultivation box are very short in a straight line. It is quickly discharged to the outside of the cultivation room, so it is easy to maintain the proper temperature of the cultivation room and always maintain a fresh environment.

This fresh environment suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria due to moisture in the dark growing room and enhances the effect of the antimicrobial component contained in chlorella, which is very beneficial for bean sprout growth.

Soybeans have a unique fishy smell. The reason is that soybean protein is about 80% of 7S and 11S protein. Especially, lipoxigenase contained in 7S protein has molecular weight of about 100.000, and oxygen molecules are introduced into double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids to peroxide (Hydroperoxidase). It is a catalyst to make. The peroxides thus produced are so unstable that they decompose themselves and subsequently cause a series of chain oxidations, causing a unique soy fishy smell.

Chlorella absorbed by soybean in the present invention contains glycol protein (Glycoprotein), which increases the activity of phytic acid (Phyticasid) generated during the growth of bean sprouts. High phytic acid activity inhibits soybean protein metabolism, and soybean protein metabolism inhibits glycoprotein synthesis. A decrease in glycoprotein synthesis affects the various metabolic processes of soybean during fermentation. This suppresses soybean fermentation. Since soybean fermentation is inhibited, the production of peroxides by lipoxigenase contained in soy protein is suppressed, so that there is no soy fishy smell. Without bean fishy, bean sprouts can be reproduced.

In addition, chlorella is an algae plant that is propagated by carbon dioxide and sunlight, but the growth of chlorella itself has been stopped in dark bean sprouts cultivation room where rays are blocked. Decomposed and absorbed by soybean sprouts, the unique nutrients contained in soybeans and the active ingredients contained in chlorella are combined with soybean sprouts. Therefore, it is possible to cultivate bean sprouts rich in nutrients such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and various phytamines.

In addition, the cultivated water of chlorella sprouts is soaked in drinking water, silicate minerals, such as elvan, which elutes weak alkaline minerals, are immersed, so that the hydrogen ion concentration is almost uniform even after repeated use.

In addition, the cultivated water in the present invention is not limited to the capacity contained in the tank can supplement the purified water in the auxiliary tank installed outside the cultivation room to adjust the temperature of the cultivated water to an appropriate temperature and to prevent contamination of the cultivated water. In addition, since the heat and carbon monoxide emitted from the bean sprouts' cultivation box are quickly discharged to the outside of the cultivation room, the temperature of the cultivation room does not increase very much, and the slight increase in the cultivation water can be easily adjusted to the proper temperature in the auxiliary tank. . In addition, it is possible to replenish clean cultivated water, so that the health and disease resistance of bean sprouts in the fresh environment is suppressed, and the growth of harmful bacteria is suppressed, so that bean sprouts rich in nutrient content can be grown without fear of bean sprout rot.

In addition, the structure of the cultivation room eliminates the structure of separate cooling means and air circulation passages, so that the internal space of the cultivation room is expanded accordingly, and the cultivation structure becomes simpler, making the production cost of the bean sprout cultivator cheaper, the simplicity of using the cultivator, High reliability for cultivation.

Furthermore, by cultivating raw sprouts without soybean seeds (bean husks), the added value of bean sprout cultivation can be further increased, and chewing can provide delicious bean sprouts rich in nutrient content with crunchy hard tissue.

1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a chlorella sprouts grower of one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is an identification cross-sectional view.

The cultivator 1 of the chlorella sprouts having the front door 1d of the present invention includes a compressor 2c, an air conduit 2d and a plurality of grades for continuously injecting fresh air into the cultivation chamber 1a. The air supply means 2 which consists of the air supply pipe 2a with which the pore 2h was punched out, and the injected air discharged from the simultaneous cultivation box B which supplies fresh air to a cultivation box by making horizontal airflow at the shortest left and right distances, An outlet 3 formed by the grille 3a opposed to the air supply pipe 2a on both side walls 1b of the cultivator 1 to allow heat and carbon monoxide to be quickly discharged by the horizontal airflow, A water tank 5 having a conventional water supply means 4 composed of a normal water feed pump 4p, a water pipe 4d, and a water supply pipe 4a having a plurality of nozzles 4n, and the water tank 5 and a plurality of water tanks. Drain cock installed outside the cultivation chamber, which is connected by two conduits 5a and 5b to supplement the cultivation water temperature control and the cultivation water w. (6c) is composed of a combined auxiliary tank (6).

In the present invention, the cultivation box (B) of the submerged bean sprouts is placed on the mounting table (b) arranged in multiple stages up and down in the cultivation chamber (1a), and a collecting plate (集水 板) (P) in the lower end of the cultivation chamber (1a). ) Is connected to the cultivation tank (5), the water sprayed on the cultivation box (B) is collected and installed to return to the water tank (5) as usual.

The chlorella bean sprouts grower of this invention comprised in this way spreads a predetermined amount of soaked soybeans on a cultivation box (B) flatly, and places it on each mounting table (b) in turn.

Chlorella bean sprout cultivation soybean used in the apparatus of the present invention washes the selected soybeans by adjusting the chlorella culture medium adjusted to a concentration of 0.3% to 10.0% by three times the amount of soybeans for 18 hours to 24 hours at a temperature of about 25 ℃ Soak in chlorella culture and use.

In addition, the tank 5 is filled with the cultivation water (w) through the auxiliary tank (6). The auxiliary water tank 6 and the cultivation water tank 5 are maintained at the same water level through the conduits 5a and 5b, so that the auxiliary water tank 6 and the cultivation water tank 5 are kept in the water tank 5 through the auxiliary water tank 6 without opening the door 1d of the cultivation room. Infusion of planting water is possible. The cultivated water is a drinking water and the cultivated water tank (5) immerses silicon minerals, which are weakly alkaline, such as elvan, germanium, and silicate, which are harmless to humans and have antibacterial effects. A little (0.3 to .05% by weight) of an aspergillus enzyme solution having a resolution of cellulose is added thereto. Aspergillus enzyme is a beneficial enzyme to the human body with the ability to break down the fiber, which is widely distributed in straw used to float meju.

The internal temperature of the cultivation chamber (1a) is usually maintained at about 26 ℃, and the watering time is in the range of 15 seconds to 15 minutes at intervals of about 1 to 2 hours, and the watering time is extended as it grows.

Under these conditions, the air supply means 2 and the water supply means 4 are operated.

As the air supply means 2 is operated, external fresh air supplied by the compressor 2c is supplied to the air supply hole 2h of the air supply pipe 2a through the conduit 2d. The supplied air is discharged to the outside through the discharge port (3) to maintain the internal pressure of the cultivation chamber (1a) slightly high (about 0.1 atm) by providing a difference between the supply amount and the discharge amount. At this time, the air supply pipe (2a) and the discharge port (3) are opposed to each other in the horizontal position of the left and right sides of the cultivation chamber (1a) because of the characteristics of the gas is moved to the shortest straight distance to achieve a horizontal airflow. This level is quiet and keeps the growing room fresh.

The water supply pump 4p of the water supply means 4 starts every said predetermined time, and sprays the water of the cultivation tank 5 to the nozzle 4n of the water supply pipe 4a through the water pipe 4d. The sprayed water flows in order from the upper side growing box (B) to the lower side growing box (B) in order to submerge, and the submerged state of the growing box is maintained even after the watering operation is stopped. As time passes, the water of the cultivation box is drained by a drainage mechanism (not shown) attached to each cultivation box (B), refluxed to the water tank (5) through the collecting plate (P), and the sprouts are drained. Is in contact with the air. Soybean sprouts, unlike the assimilation of plants in the sun, breathe oxygen because stem-like roots are grown by nutrients contained in soybeans in dark, dark plants.

Since the cultivation room (1a) is a horizontal airflow by the continuous supply of fresh air from outside, the fresh air can be supplied to the bean sprouts, and the heat and carbon monoxide released during the metabolism of the bean sprouts are rapidly and shortly in a horizontal airflow. It is discharged through the outlet 3 to maintain a fresh environment at all times. Sufficient water supply and fresh environment maintenance by immersion can be very beneficial for increasing the growth effect of chlorella sprouts.

When the temperature of the cultivation water rises during the cultivation process, the purified water (generally, room temperature water of groundwater or tap water) is supplied to the auxiliary water tank 6 to maintain an appropriate temperature. Since the cultivated water is always immersed in silicon minerals such as elvan, weak alkaline components are eluted and maintained at pH 7.0 and 0.5, and the eluted minerals are absorbed by the bean sprouts and act as an active ingredient of chlorella to rot bean sprouts. Prevent, increase health and promote growth. After 3 to 4 days of cultivation, the bean sprouts are grown to an average size of 15 to 18 cm, and the bean sprouts can be harvested.

In addition, the seedlings are dissolved by the Aspergillus enzyme added to the cultivation water in the repetitive watering step. The shells are a kind of organic fertilizer, which is absorbed by the bean sprouts and grows into seedless bean sprouts. Seedless bean sprouts can be used as a food without trimming, making them highly commercial.

In addition, by activating the action of chlorella absorbed in soybeans, it does not have the characteristic fishy smell of soybean sprouts, so it can be eaten raw and has a dense texture with chewy taste.

Chlorella sprouts grower of the present invention, the air supply means consisting of a compressor and air conduit for continuously injecting fresh air into the cultivation room and the air supply pipe of the upper layer height of the cultivation box perforated with a plurality of air holes, Outlet formed on the upper and lower sides of the cultivator through the horizontal airflow at the shortest distance left and right by the airflow and the carbon monoxide quickly discharged by the horizontal airflow, formed by grills on both sides of the cultivator; The air supply means and the exhaust port are formed by combining a cultivation tank having a normal water supply means composed of a water supply pipe having a plurality of nozzles, and an auxiliary tank capable of controlling the temperature of the cultivation water and supplementing the cultivation water in association with the cultivation tank. By forming horizontal airflow in the bean sprout cultivation room, it is possible to supply fresh air effective for growing chlorella sprouts.

In addition, the heat and carbon monoxide emitted during the growth of bean sprouts can be discharged at the shortest straight distance through the horizontal airflow. With good ventilation, there is no possibility of decay of bean sprouts, which is the most vulnerable to submerged bean sprouts, and the conditions and conditions for growing bean sprouts are very good. Is maintained.

In addition, the auxiliary water tank can maintain the proper temperature control and cleanliness of the cultivated water in the internal cultivated water tank, so the handling of the cultivated water is convenient.

In addition, there is no internal air circulation passage in the cultivator, so the effective space of the cultivation room is expanded, and a separate exhaust fan or cooling device is omitted, resulting in a simple structure and a lower production cost. Anyone can cultivate high-quality chlorella sprouts quickly and increase profitability by growing bean sprouts.
