Description

Sprout cultivation {DEVICE FOR CULTIVATING SPROUT}

The present invention relates to a sprout cultivation device, and more particularly, to a sprout cultivation device capable of improving the germination rate of seeds and reducing the decay rate by appropriately controlling humidity, temperature and air circulation.

Sprout vegetables refers to germinating seeds and growing them for 4-5 days. These sprout vegetables are completely pollution-free vegetables sprouted with clean water and air, and the nutrients required for life maintenance are aggregated and their energy becomes sprout when they germinate.

These sprout vegetables are representative web well-being foods that are sometimes called dream vegetables because they contain 10 to 40 times more active ingredients such as mitamine and minerals than vegetables that are grown when germinated.

In addition, sprout vegetables are known to be easy to consume from children to the elderly because they are not irritating, and are rich in nutrients that cannot be compared to grown vegetables.

Although conventional sprout cultivation means must periodically supply water to the sown seeds, the cultivation speed is lowered or not constant due to a failure to meet a certain water supply cycle.If the internal temperature becomes high, the seeds may rot. It occurred frequently. In addition, the above cultivation method is not a cultivation method for commercialization, but a purpose for edible cultivation in each home.

Recently, for mass production of sprout vegetables, sprout vegetables are produced using a drum rotary sprout vegetable grower.

The drum rotary sprout vegetable cultivation machine has the advantage of preventing spoilage by means of ventilation and water cooling because seeds move regularly in the drum.

However, in the conventional drum rotary sprout vegetable cultivation machine, since the door must be in close contact with the front opening of the culture vessel and then a plurality of bolts must be fastened, it takes a lot of time to install or remove, and there is a problem in that the work efficiency is deteriorated.

In addition, conventionally, a gear ratio was set and connected to a plurality of spur gears in order to reduce the rotational speed of the power unit that provides the rotational power to a low speed, but the configuration is complicated and the volume is increased, which takes up a lot of space and increases the failure rate. there was.
