Brown rice germination machine and brown rice germination method

Abstract

The invention relates to a brown rice germination machine. The brown rice germination machine comprises a water tank, a heater, a temperature sensor, an atomizer, an air feeding device, an ozone generator, a first valve, a second valve, a first air inlet pipe, a second air inlet pipe, an air inlet header pipe, a germinative box, an exhausting device, a water drain pipe, a power supply module and a control system. The air feeding device is used for feeding air and water vapor generated by the atomizer to the germinative box, the ozone generator is used for feeding ozone to the germinative box, the germinative box has a rice container structure, which can be used for enabling brown rice to be in thorough and uniform contact with the water vapor and the air, and is provided with an exhaust opening communicating with the exhausting device and a drainage opening located at the bottom, and the control system is electrically connected with the heater, the temperature sensor, the atomizer, the air feeding device, the ozone generator, the first valve, the second valve, a motor, the exhausting device and the power supply module. According to the brown rice germination machine, the operation is simple, and germinated brown rice which is safe to eat can be obtained by users 20 to 24 hours after start-up through only filling up the water tank and filling in washed brown rice. The invention further relates to a brown rice germination method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of grain processing, and in particular relates to a brown rice germination machine and a brown rice germination method. Background technique [0002] Rice is an indispensable staple food for human beings. Compared with polished white rice, germinated brown rice retains most of the vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber in rice, and produces rich γ-aminobutyric acid after germination. The human body has a good health care effect. Most of the germination methods of brown rice are soaked for several hours, then drained, ventilated, watered, kept warm, disinfected, etc. The problems are: 1. The water needs to be changed during the germination process, and there are many manual intervention steps, which seems very troublesome and inconvenient ;2. The germination is uneven, the surface layer in contact with the air germinates faster, and the inner brown rice germinates slowly; 3. The disinfection is not done well ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Most of the germination methods of brown rice are soaked for several hours, then drained, ventilated, watered, kept warm, disinfected, etc. The problems are: 1. The water needs to be changed during the germination process, and there are many manual intervention steps, which seems very troublesome and inconvenient ;2. The germination is uneven, the surface layer in contact with the air germinates faster, and the inner brown rice germinates slowly; 3. The disinfection is not done well or the residue of the disinfectant is not handled well; 4. The germination time is too long (some take a few days)

[0003] In addition, the equipment currently used for brown rice germination adopts a generally closed cavity structure for humidification and heating, and then uses an external oxygen supply device or natural ventilation to achieve oxygen supply, and the contact between brown rice and oxygen and moisture is not uniform, so There is the defect that the efficiency of brown rice germination and the germination quality are not high
