[0028] Specific implementation method nine: as follows Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment is a further explanation of the first specific embodiment, wherein the perforations II 253 are arranged vertically and there are two of them.

[0029] Specific implementation method ten: as follows Figure 1-8 As shown in the figure, this embodiment describes a method for using a quantitative water supply device for edible fungi cultivation, the method comprising the following steps:

[0030] Step 1: Start the motor to drive the power unit 1 to move and push the airflow into the upper end of the movable plate 32;

[0031] Step 2: The movable plate 32 moves downwards, pushing the water between the two rings 221;

[0032] Step 3: Open valve 216 to drain water into the edible mushroom cultivation box.

[0033] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When using this device, start the motor, the motor drives the turntable 15 to rotate, the turntable 15 drives the connecting rod 14 to move, and then drives the piston 12 to move up and down in the air cylinder 11, pushing air into the L-shaped tube I 21 and L-shaped tube II 25.

[0034] When piston 12 moves downward, it pushes the gas in cylinder 11 downward. When the gas enters L-shaped tube I 21, the vent of movable cylinder II 237 is blocked by limit rod 236 under the elastic force of spring 235. The gas pushes movable cylinder I 232 away from baffle 233 until it contacts limit ring 231. Then the gas enters the connecting pipe 222 through the vent on movable cylinder I 232, and then enters L-shaped tube II 25. Since the top plate is always located at the lower end of perforation II 253 when float 241 has not moved to the highest point, the gas enters the horizontal end of L-shaped tube II 25 through the gap between partition plate 254 and the inner wall of perforation I 252. Finally, it enters the upper end of movable plate 32 of water tank 31, which increases the air pressure and drives movable plate 32 to move downward. This pushes the water at the lower end of movable plate 32 through drain 34 and through hole II 213 into the two rings 221 in the horizontal end of L-shaped tube I 21 and stores it inside.

[0035] When piston 12 moves upward, the airflow moves from the upper end of water bucket 31 into L-shaped tube II 25 and L-shaped tube I 21. When it passes the position of movable cylinder I 232, it pushes the inner conical surface of movable cylinder I 232, causing movable cylinder I 232 to move towards baffle 233 and finally come into close contact with baffle 233. When the air cylinder 11 continues to draw air, under the action of pressure, it drives movable cylinder II 237 to move towards baffle 233 and stretches spring 235, allowing external gas to enter the air cylinder 11 through through hole I 212 and vent hole on movable cylinder II 237. After the airflow stops, movable cylinder II 237 moves back to its original position under the action of spring 235.

[0036] The amount of water entering the mushroom cultivation box per unit time between the two rings 221 is equal to the amount of water consumed per unit time in the mushroom cultivation box; therefore, the staff does not need to control the time interval, and water can be added at any time interval to replenish the water consumed in the mushroom cultivation box, avoiding the difficulty in controlling the amount of water added due to different water replenishment time intervals, which would result in too much or too little water in the mushroom cultivation box and affect the quality of the finished mushroom product; open valve 216 to drain water into the mushroom cultivation box;

[0037] When the water between the two rings 221 is full, the float 241 moves upward with the water level between the rings 221, blocking the through hole Ⅲ 214. At the same time, it drives the L-shaped connecting rod 242 to move upward. The wind baffle 243 on the L-shaped connecting rod 242 always blocks the through hole Ⅰ 252. When the L-shaped connecting rod 242 moves to its highest point, the horizontal end of the L-shaped connecting rod 242 blocks the gap between the partition plate 254 and the inner wall with the through hole Ⅰ 252. At the same time, the L-shaped connecting rod 242 drives the sliding rod 244 to move upward. The sliding rod 244 drives the top plate 246 to move to the upper end of the through hole Ⅱ 253. When the air cylinder 11 When the piston 12 moves downward to exhaust air, the gas enters the L-shaped tube II 25 after passing through the connecting pipe 222. Then, it passes through the gap between the partition plate 254 and the inner wall with the perforation II 253, and pushes the slider 245 upward to be discharged through the perforation II 253. Since the exhaust volume of the perforation II 253 is less than the exhaust volume of the air cylinder 11 per unit time, the gas is rapidly discharged from the perforation II 253, making a sound to remind the staff to add water. When the air cylinder 11 draws in air, the gas enters the L-shaped tube II 25 through the perforation II 253 to replenish the air cylinder 11. The rest of the operation is carried out according to the above steps.
