Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of edible mushroom cultivation equipment, in particular to an edible mushroom cultivation bottle and its bottle cap. Background Art

[0002] As a kind of food material rich in nutrition, edible mushrooms play an important role in people's diet. With the continuous growth of market demand, the large-scale production of edible mushrooms has become an inevitable trend. At present, plastic bag cultivation is a common method for cultivating edible mushrooms. This method has a lower cost and can flexibly control the yield and fruiting shape according to the cultivation intention. The structure of the bag mouth that closely adheres to the material surface and constricts the opening can effectively reduce the generation of aging mycelium blocks, avoid the mycelium scratching link, and reduce the production cost. At the same time, the plastic bag fits completely with the culture material surface, avoiding the formation of voids, reducing the generation of aerial mycelium, and being beneficial to the growth of edible mushrooms. However, the plastic bag cultivation method also has obvious deficiencies. Since the plastic bag has no fixed shape, it is difficult to achieve automation, standardization, and large-scale production during the production process. This not only increases the labor cost but also reduces the production efficiency, restricting the further development of the edible mushroom industry.

[0003] In view of the defects of plastic bag cultivation, cultivation bottle cultivation has been developed. The cultivation bottle cultivation method has the advantages of being conducive to automated, standardized, and large-scale production. The existing cultivation bottle cultivation method usually includes steps such as the preparation of the culture medium, bottling, sterilization, cooling, inoculation, cultivation, mycelium scratching, fruiting, and harvesting.

[0004] However, for the existing cultivation bottles, during the cultivation process, it often occurs that the aerial mycelium of the culture medium located far from the ventilation holes at the bottom of the bottle grows slowly, and by the time the aerial mycelium at the bottom of the bottle grows out, the aerial mycelium near the ventilation holes has become aged. The growth rate of the aerial mycelium near the ventilation holes and far from the ventilation holes in the existing cultivation bottles varies too much, affecting the overall cultivation process. At the same time, the bottle mouths of the existing cultivation products are all smaller than the internal space of the bottle body, resulting in a smaller fruiting space for edible mushrooms, affecting the fruiting amount, and the bottle mouths being perpendicular to the bottle body, resulting in wear of the mycelium neck. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose to be achieved by the utility model is to provide an edible mushroom cultivation bottle and its bottle cap, which solve the problems that the growth rate of the aerial mycelium near the ventilation holes and far from the ventilation holes in the existing cultivation bottles varies too much, affecting the overall cultivation process, the bottle mouths of the existing cultivation products are all smaller than the internal space of the bottle body, resulting in a smaller fruiting space for edible mushrooms, affecting the fruiting amount, and the bottle mouths being perpendicular to the bottle body, resulting in wear of the mycelium neck.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present utility model adopts the following technical solutions: An edible mushroom cultivation bottle, the waist of the bottle body of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle is in an arc-shaped concave shape, both ends of the waist are provided with an upper vertical transition surface and a lower vertical transition surface connecting the waist, a bottle mouth transition arc surface with an outer end turned outward is connected between the upper vertical transition surface and the bottle mouth of the bottle body, and a bottle bottom transition arc surface with an inward narrowing is connected between the lower vertical transition surface and the bottle bottom of the bottle body.

[0007] Further, the outer edge of the bottle mouth transition arc surface is located inside the upper vertical transition surface and the lower vertical transition surface.

[0008] Further, the inner edge of the bottle mouth transition arc surface is flush with the concave vertex of the waist of the bottle body.

[0009] Further, the radian of the bottle bottom transition arc surface is 25° to 30°, and based on the horizontal line, the inclination angle of the bottle bottom transition arc surface is 40° to 45 degrees.

[0010] A bottle cap for an edible mushroom cultivation bottle, comprising a bottle cap and a bottle body, the bottle body being the bottle body described in any of the above technical solutions, and the bottle cap is used to cover the bottle mouth of the bottle body.

[0011] Further, the bottle cap includes a lower cover, an upper cover and an air filter element, the lower cover covers the bottle mouth of the bottle body, the air filter element is arranged between the lower cover and the upper cover, and the upper cover covers the lower cover.

[0012] Further, the inside of the lower cover is a through first opening, a protrusion extending downward is provided at the first opening, a first ventilation hole is provided at the center of the protrusion, and a second ventilation hole is provided on the side. The inside of the upper cover is a through second opening, a waterproof cover covering the upper cover is provided at the top of the upper cover, and a third ventilation hole is provided between the upper cover and the waterproof cover. The air in the bottle body exchanges through the first ventilation hole, the second ventilation hole and the third ventilation hole.

[0013] Further, reinforcing ribs extending outward from the side of the first ventilation hole to the side of the protrusion are provided inside the protrusion, and the air filter element covers the reinforcing ribs.

[0014] Further, a pressing ring for pressing the air filter element is provided on the upper cover near the second opening.

[0015] Further, the upper cover is threadedly connected to the lower cover and is buckled outside the lower cover, and the lower cover is engaged with the bottle mouth of the bottle body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows;

[0017] The waist of the bottle body of the present utility model is in an arc-shaped concave state, and the two ends of the waist are vertical upper vertical transition surfaces and lower vertical transition surfaces. When multiple bottle bodies are placed, only the upper vertical transition surface and the lower vertical transition surface of two adjacent edible mushroom cultivation bottles come into contact. Adjacent bottle bodies are only in contact through the upper vertical transition surface and the lower vertical transition surface. The vertical transition surface can provide good support force, ensuring that the bottle body is not easily toppled or slid during the placement process, improving the overall stability. Especially during transportation or storage, it can effectively reduce the risk of damage caused by the shaking of the bottle body. At the same time, between two adjacent edible mushroom cultivation bottles, that is, at the waist position, they are separated from each other, forming a natural air circulation channel. This is very important for the cultivation of edible mushrooms. Good ventilation can timely discharge the heat and moisture generated during the growth of edible mushrooms in the bottle, prevent the temperature in the bottle from being too high and the humidity from being too large, create a suitable growth environment for edible mushrooms, and thus improve the yield and quality of edible mushrooms.

[0018] The present utility model designs a bottle mouth transition arc surface that turns outward at the bottle mouth, which fits better with the growth state of Hericium coralloides, increases the growth space of Hericium coralloides, and avoids the situation of extrusion damage due to overcrowding of the mushroom necks during the fruiting process. At the same time, as the mushroom necks will bend during the growth process of the mushrooms, the outward-turning bottle mouth transition arc surface of the present utility model can prevent the bottle mouth from cutting or severing the mushroom necks, avoiding problems such as mushroom deformity and poor growth caused by damaged mushroom necks.

[0019] The present utility model narrows the bottom of the bottle body of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle. Narrowing the bottom means raising it upward relative to the bottom transition arc surface, so that the area of the culture medium at the bottom of the bottle body becomes smaller. At the same time, the height of the culture medium at the bottom of the bottle body and the first ventilation hole is shortened, realizing the acceleration of the mycelial growth of the culture medium at the edge of the bottom of the bottle body, avoiding the overgrowth of aerial mycelia near the first ventilation hole, and reducing the step of raking the bacteria.

Specific embodiments

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined or replaced with each other according to the actual situation. The same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the present utility model provides an edible mushroom cultivation bottle. The bottle body 1 of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle is in the shape of a hollow cylinder and is made of a plastic transparent material. The waist 11 of the bottle body 1 is in an arc-shaped concave shape. Both ends of the waist 11 are provided with an upper vertical transition surface 12 and a lower vertical transition surface 13 that connect the waist 11. An upper end of the upper vertical transition surface 12 and the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1 are connected by a bottle mouth transition arc surface 14 with an outwardly turned-up upper end. The upper end of the bottle mouth transition arc surface 14 is in a flared shape with an outward turn. The lower vertical transition surface 13 and the bottle bottom of the bottle body 1 are connected by a bottle bottom transition arc surface 15 that narrows inward.

[0030] The waist 11 of the bottle body 1 of the utility model is in an arc-shaped concave shape, and the two ends of the waist 11 are vertical upper vertical transition surfaces 12 and lower vertical transition surfaces 13. When multiple bottle bodies 1 are placed, only the upper vertical transition surface 12 and the lower vertical transition surface 13 of two adjacent edible mushroom cultivation bottles are in contact. The adjacent bottle bodies 1 are only in contact through the upper vertical transition surface 12 and the lower vertical transition surface 13. The vertical transition surface can provide good supporting force, ensuring that the bottle body 1 is not easily toppled or slid during the placement process, improving the overall stability. Especially during transportation or storage, it can effectively reduce the risk of damage caused by the shaking of the bottle body 1. At the same time, in the middle of two adjacent edible mushroom cultivation bottles, that is, the waist 11 position is separated from each other, forming a natural air circulation channel. This is very important for the cultivation of edible mushrooms. Good ventilation can timely discharge the heat and moisture generated during the growth of edible mushrooms in the bottle, prevent the temperature in the bottle from being too high and the humidity from being too large, create a suitable growth environment for edible mushrooms, and thus improve the yield and quality of edible mushrooms.

[0031] During the process of cultivating and fruiting velvet antler mushrooms, the velvet antler mushrooms will naturally open and grow to both sides. The utility model designs a bottle mouth transition arc surface 14 that turns outward at the bottle mouth, which fits better with the growth state of the velvet antler mushrooms, increases the growth space of the velvet antler mushrooms, avoids the situation of extrusion damage due to overcrowding of the mushroom necks during the fruiting process. At the same time, as the mushroom necks will bend during the process of mushroom generation, the outward-turned bottle mouth transition arc surface 14 of the utility model can avoid the bottle mouth from cutting or severing the mushroom necks, avoiding problems such as mushroom deformity and poor growth caused by damaged mushroom necks.

[0032] During the cultivation process of edible mushrooms, the distance between the bottom of the bottle and the first ventilation hole 213 is relatively far, resulting in a great reduction in the air exchange efficiency. The bottom of the traditional cultivation bottle is relatively flat and has a large area. Because the area far from the ventilation hole and the culture medium is large, the mycelium growth at the bottom of the culture medium in the bottle will be slow. The utility model narrows the bottom of the bottle body 1 of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle, that is, raises it upward relative to the bottle bottom transition arc surface 15, so that the area of the culture medium at the bottom of the bottle body 1 becomes smaller, and at the same time shortens the height between the culture medium at the bottom of the bottle body 1 and the first ventilation hole 213, realizing the acceleration of the mycelium growth of the culture medium at the bottom edge of the bottle body 1, avoiding the overgrowth of aerial mycelium near the first ventilation hole 213, and reducing the step of raking the bacteria.

[0033] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the outer edge of the transition arc surface 14 of the bottle mouth is located inside the upper vertical transition surface 12 and the lower vertical transition surface 13. After the transition arc surface 14 of the bottle mouth is opened outward, the outer side does not exceed the upper vertical transition surface 12 and the lower vertical transition surface 13. This design is considered because the outer edge of the bottle cap 2 to be capped later needs to be parallel to the upper vertical transition surface 12 and the lower vertical transition surface 13. Therefore, a distance is reserved to prevent the outer edge of the bottle cap 2 from exceeding the upper vertical transition surface 12 and the lower vertical transition surface 13 when the bottle cap 2 is capped, resulting in the inability of the vertical transition surface and the lower vertical transition surface 13 to play the role of alignment and support.

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, the inner edge of the transition arc surface 14 of the bottle mouth is flush with the concave vertex of the waist 11 of the bottle body 1, so that the narrowest part of the bottle mouth is flush with the narrowest part of the waist 11 of the bottle body 1. The design of the bottle mouth is matched with the waist 11 of the bottle body 1, making the most of the space inside the bottle, ensuring that the edible mushroom cultivation bottle can be in the maximum capacity state, increasing the filling amount of the culture medium, and increasing the yield of mushroom fruiting.

[0035] The radian of the transition arc surface 15 of the bottle bottom is 25° to 30°. Based on the horizontal line, the inclination angle of the transition arc surface 15 of the bottle bottom is 40° to 45°, effectively increasing the contact area between the culture medium at the bottle bottom and the air, improving the efficiency of oxygen conversion, and accelerating the growth of the aerial mycelium of the culture medium.

[0036] A bottle cap for an edible mushroom cultivation bottle, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, is used to cap the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1, to prevent external miscellaneous bacteria from entering, keep the humidity inside the bottle stable, regulate gas exchange, control the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations, and protect the growth of the aerial mycelium;

[0037] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the bottle cap 2 is divided into a lower cover 21, an upper cover 22 and an air filter element 23. The cross-section of the lower cover 21 is in an "H" structure. There is a first opening 211 passing through the middle of the lower cover 21. There is also a bowl-shaped projection 212 connected to the lower part of the lower cover 21. The opening surface of the projection 212 is connected above the lower cover 21. A first ventilation hole 213 is opened at the center of the projection 212, and a plurality of second ventilation holes 214 are opened on the side. When the lower cover 21 is capped on the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1, the projection 212 is accommodated in the inner bottom of the bottle body 1 near the culture medium inside the bottle body 1, and the side is close to the inner side of the transition arc surface 14 of the bottle mouth, which is used to inhibit the growth of the aerial mycelium, reduce the aged mycelium blocks, and eliminate the need for the mycelium scratching step.

[0038] As Figure 4As shown, the upper cover 22 is divided into a door-shaped structure. The middle part of the upper cover 22 has a through second opening 224. A waterproof cover 221 covering the upper cover 22 is provided at the top of the upper cover 22. A third ventilation hole 222, a first ventilation hole 213, and a second ventilation hole 214 are provided between the upper cover 22 and the waterproof cover 221. The first opening 211, the second opening 224, and the third ventilation hole 222 form an air flow path for the air inside the bottle body 1 to exchange with the outside air, providing oxygen for the culture medium inside the bottle body 1, meeting the respiratory needs of the aerial hyphae, and enabling them to reproduce and extend rapidly.

[0039] As Figure 1 shown, the waterproof cover 221 is used to prevent water droplets from dripping into the bottle body 1 and avoid contaminating the culture medium. At the same time, the inner top surface of the waterproof cover 221 is a smooth structure, making the gas flow smoother. At the same time, there is a gap between the waterproof cover 21 and the upper cover 22. This gap can be used as a grasping point for the automatic gripper in the automated production process. The gripper can be inserted into the gap to remove the overall bottle cap. This solves the problem of the existing culture bottle forming a grasping point by narrowing the bottle mouth. In the present utility model, through the gap formed between the waterproof cover and the upper cover 22, it is not necessary to reduce the bottle mouth area of the bottle body, ensuring that the bottle mouth of the bottle body can have a larger mushroom-growing area. At the same time, it can also be coordinated with the automated process, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0040] A plurality of reinforcing ribs 215 are provided on the inner surface of the protrusion 212. The reinforcing ribs 215 can effectively prevent the lower cover 21 from deforming. The air filter element 23 should be abutted against the side of the first opening 211 of the lower cover 21 and placed on the reinforcing ribs 215 for filtering the exchanged air. The air filter element 23 is made of synthetic fiber filter cotton, non-woven fabric filter cotton, or filter cotton that is commonly used to block dust particles and has air permeability. Further, the reinforcing ribs 215 also play a role in supporting the air filter element 23, preventing the air filter element 23 from collapsing and resulting in poor sealing.

[0041] As Figure 3 shown, a circular pressing ring 223 is connected to the inner bottom surface of the upper cover 22. When the upper cover 22 is closed on the lower cover 21, the pressing ring 223 presses on the edge of the air filter element 23 to facilitate pressing of the air filter element 23 and ensure the sealing of the air filter element 23.

[0042] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the upper cover 22 is threadedly connected to the lower cover 21 and is buckled outside the lower cover 21. The lower cover 21 is engaged with the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1. The engaging structure is that hooks are provided on the lower cover 21, and a clamping ring is provided at the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1. The hooks and the clamping ring cooperate to fix the lower cover 21 on the bottle body 1.

[0043] The above content is a partial specific implementation manner of the present utility model, which does not limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
