Description

Bean sprouts growing device {CULTIVATION APPARATUS FOR BEAN SPROUTS}

The present invention relates to a bean sprout cultivation apparatus.

In general, in cultivating bean sprouts, soybeans are soaked in water, and then placed on rice straws, and soybeans are put on top of them, soaked in high temperature and high humidity in a dark place, and then sprouted by frequently supplying water so that the germinated beans do not dry out. When grown to size, they are harvested.

In recent years, a bean sprout cultivation apparatus capable of cultivating a large amount of bean sprouts has been widely used. Such a conventional bean sprout cultivation apparatus is disclosed in Korean Utility Model Room No. 2000-3371.

The conventional bean sprout cultivation apparatus is characterized in that the bean sprouts cultivation container is installed in a water tank equipped with a heater, and the hot water is automatically sprayed into the bean sprouts cultivation container every hour when the lid is attached to the upper part of the container.

By the way, in the conventional bean sprout cultivation apparatus, when only cold water flows into the bean sprout cultivation apparatus, it is supplied to the bean sprout cultivation container by adjusting the cold water introduced into the bean sprout cultivation conditions to meet the growing conditions of the bean sprouts, hot water is When introduced into the tank can not cool the water supplied to the bean sprouts growing container, that is, it is difficult to control the temperature of the water supplied to the bean sprouts growing container, there is a problem that the cultivation efficiency of bean sprouts is lowered.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bean sprout cultivation apparatus capable of controlling the temperature of the water supplied to the bean sprout cultivation container as well as improving the cultivation efficiency of the bean sprouts.
