DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Examples, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown: The present invention provides a novel edible fungus cultivation device, which comprises a vertical frame 1 and a placing frame 2 for placing mushroom bags A. The vertical frame 1 is provided with a plurality of side frames 11 at different levels, and a plurality of placing frames 2 are placed on the side frames 11 at different levels. Two rows of placing frames 2 are provided at the same level on the vertical frame 1, and two adjacent rows of placing frames 2 are placed side by side along the length direction thereof, so that the vertical frame 1 has space on two sides for picking mushroom bags A on the placing frames 2; The mushroom bag A has at least two mushroom cluster growth spaces B for the growth of mushroom clusters, and one of them is located on the top surface of the mushroom bag A. The mushroom cluster growth space B is upwardly shaped like an umbrella with a large top and a small bottom. The bottom of the mushroom cluster growth space B has a mushroom cluster root B2, and the regional diameter of the cluster root B2 is smaller than that of the mushroom bag A. The top of the mushroom cluster growth space B has a mushroom cluster edge B1, and the regional diameter of the cluster edge B1 is larger than that of the cluster root B2. In this embodiment, the mushroom bag A has three mushroom cluster growth spaces B for the growth of mushroom clusters, which are respectively located in the front, top and back of the mushroom bag A. The mushroom clusters located in front of the mushroom bag A can be directly picked on both sides of the stand 1; To this end, the placement rack 2 includes a staggered cross beam 22, on which a tray 24 for placing the mushroom bag A is provided, and the tray 24 on the staggered cross beam 22 is at least two different horizontal heights, and the staggered cross beam 22 includes a lower portion 22a and a higher portion 22b, and the tray 24 and the mushroom bag A are placed on the lower portion 22a and the higher portion 22b, respectively, and the cluster edge B1 of the mushroom cluster growth space B on the mushroom bag A located at the lower portion 22a is located at the cluster root B2 of the mushroom cluster growth space B on the mushroom bag A located at the higher portion 22b, and the cluster root B2 On the side, a transverse concave area is formed in cooperation with the cluster edge B1 at the top and the mushroom bag A at the bottom. The cluster edge B1 of the mushroom bag A at the lower part 22a is placed in cooperation with the transverse concave area, so that the umbrella caps of the growing mushroom clusters will not be squeezed by the umbrella caps on the adjacent mushroom bags A. Because the edible fungi of the mushroom bag A grow outwards, which is different from the uniform squeezing inside the mushroom cluster, the umbrella caps with the advantage of growing outwards will grow very large. If they come into contact with the surrounding mushrooms, the umbrella caps will be unevenly squeezed and deformed. At the same time, an electric cylinder push-pull actuator 3 is provided between the placement racks 2 to drive the placement racks 2 to move on the stand 1. The working activities performed by the placement racks 2 on the stand 1 include translational activities and swinging activities. Specifically, side frame beams 23 are provided on both sides of the placement rack 2. A rotating shaft 231 and a rear stabilizer 233 behind the rotating shaft 231 are provided on the side frame beams 23. A sliding cavity 11a is provided in the middle of the side frame 11. The rotating shaft 231 and the rear stabilizer 233 form two supporting points for the side frame beams 23 and are slidably installed in the sliding cavity 11a. The push-pull actuator 3 is connected to the rear end of the side frame beam 23. The push-pull actuator 3 drives the placement rack 2 to perform translational activities in the sliding cavity 11a through the rotating shaft 231 and the rear stabilizer 233, so that the push-pull actuator 3 is used to drive the placement rack 2 and the mushroom bag A to move outward, so that the mushroom bag A located in the stand 1 moves outward, and the mushroom clusters on the top surface of the mushroom bag A are exposed outward for picking. In addition, a front stabilizer 232 is provided on the side frame beam 23 in front of the central rotating shaft 231. Both the rear stabilizer 233 and the front stabilizer 232 are in the form of rollers. When the placement rack 2 is stored in the stand 1, the central rotating shaft 231, the rear stabilizer 233 and the front stabilizer 232 form at least two support points for the side frame beam 23 on the side frame 11. It should be noted that the placement rack 2 also includes a straight main beam 21, and at least one of the lower parts 22a and the higher parts 22b of different horizontal heights on the staggered beam 22 is fixedly connected to the main beam 21. In this embodiment, the main beam 21 is fixed on the lower part 22a and welded to the higher part 22b, so that the straight main beam 21 can increase its bending strength through the staggered beam 22.

[0024] Moreover, a middle partition 11b is provided in the sliding cavity 11a of the side frame 11, and a clearance opening 11c is provided at the front end of the middle partition 11b and the sliding cavity 11a. The central rotating shaft 231 slides on the middle partition 11b and enters the clearance opening 11c. An outlet is provided at the front end of the sliding cavity 11a for the front stabilizing member 232 to move out. A slot 11d is provided on the sliding cavity 11a. The rear stabilizing member 233 behind the central rotating shaft 231 at the clearance opening 11c is located at the slot 11d. The push-pull actuator 3 drives the placement frame 2 to swing forward with the central rotating shaft 231 as the rotation fulcrum. Moreover, a semi-axial groove 231a which is recessed upward is provided below the central rotating shaft 231, and the non-recessed portion on the same cross section is set as a semi-axial portion 231b, the semi-axial groove 231a is engaged with the middle partition 11b for movement, and the width of the clearance opening 11c is set to be greater than the thickness of the semi-axial portion 231b, and the height of the clearance opening 11c is set to be greater than the vertical height of the semi-axial portion 231b after the placement frame 2 performs a swinging movement, so that the semi-axial portion 231b of the central rotating shaft 231 is engaged in the clearance opening 11c for swinging movement, and the push-pull actuator 3 performs a pulling movement. When driving the placement rack 2 to reset, the placement rack 2 is first allowed to rotate stably on the clearance opening 11c through the restriction of the middle partition 11b on the rotating shaft 231, and during the rotation, the pressure of the placement rack 2 as a whole and the pressure of the mushroom bag A act on the edge of the middle partition 11b, so that the rotating shaft 231 of the placement rack 2 can stably rotate in the clearance opening 11c, and when the rear stabilizing member 233 slides from the slot 11d into the sliding cavity 11a, the semi-axis portion 231b returns to the top surface of the middle partition 11b, thereby performing the translational activity of reset; In this embodiment, a further recess can be provided in the middle of the half-axis groove 231a for engaging with the edge of the middle partition 11b when the placement rack 2 is swinging to reset, so that when the placement rack 2 is reset and rotated, the rotating shaft 231 can be better stuck in the clearance opening 11c and against the middle partition 11b.

[0025] In this embodiment, a fixing piece 241 is provided on the tray 24 for fixing with the mushroom bag A. The fixing piece 241 adopts a hook and loop belt to prevent the mushroom bag A from sliding off the tray 24 after the swinging movement. The tray 24 is concave, so that the edge of the tray 24 of the placement rack 2 can generate a supporting force for the mushroom bag A after the swinging movement.

[0026] It should be noted that the push-pull actuator 3 is installed at an angle, and is tilted toward the front of the connected placement rack 2 with the bottom of the push-pull actuator 3 as a fulcrum, so that when the placement rack 2 is pushed and performs a translational movement, it has a tendency to swing around the rotating axis 231, so that the push-pull actuator can better apply force during subsequent swinging activities.

[0027] It should be noted that the distances between the slot 11d and the outlet at the front end of the sliding cavity 11a and the side frame beam 23 are different from the clearance opening 11c, and the distances between the slot 11d and the outlet and the side frame beam 23 are smaller than the distance between the clearance opening 11c and the side frame beam 23, so as to prevent the transfer shaft 231 from moving from the outlet.

[0028] In summary, in the specific implementation, the back, top and front of the mushroom bag A are opened. Place it on the tray 24 of the placement rack 2 and tie it up with the fixing piece 241. Pick the edible mushrooms after they grow out. First, pick the edible mushrooms grown in front of the mushroom bags A of the two rows of placement racks 2 at the front and back of the vertical frame 1. Then, start the push-pull actuator 3 of each layer of the placement rack 2 from bottom to top, so that the push-pull actuator 3 drives the placement rack 2 and mushroom bag A of the current layer to move outward, so that the mushroom bag A located in the vertical frame 1 moves outward, and the edible mushroom clusters on the top of the mushroom bag A are exposed for picking. After the mushroom clusters on the top of the current placement rack 2 are picked, the push-pull actuator 3 is further started. The push-pull actuator 3 drives the placement rack 2 to swing forward with the central shaft 231 as the rotation fulcrum, so that the mushroom clusters behind the mushroom bag A can be picked, and then the push-pull actuator 3 is started to drive the placement rack 2 to return to the vertical frame 1, and the placement rack 2 on the next layer performs the top and back picking operations in turn. When one side of the vertical frame 1 is picked, it goes to the other side for picking, thereby sacrificing a certain height space per unit height to allow the mushroom clusters to grow on the top of the mushroom bag A, but at the same time, it also allows the back of the mushroom bag A to grow, thereby increasing the picking amount of the mushroom bag A per unit time by at least two times.

[0029] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
