Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mushroom cultivation technology, specifically to an intelligent temperature-controlled indoor mushroom cultivation box. Background Technology

[0002] As a natural food rich in vitamins and minerals, mushrooms are usually cultivated in a culture box to facilitate the observation and recording of various growth values. The temperature control components inside the culture box provide the temperature environment required for mushroom growth.

[0003] For example, the patent with announcement number CN220211277U, titled "A Layered Cultivation Rack," and announcement date of 2023-12-22, includes a nutrient solution storage tank, a spraying component, and a section assembly. A mounting side plate is fixedly connected to the top of the nutrient solution storage tank. The spraying component is located on the mounting side plate and can be used to spray nutrient solution onto the tea tree mushrooms. An adjustment assembly is located below the spraying component and includes a cultivation tray, a partition rack, a perforated plate, a rotating column, a connecting frame, and a shielding plate. Three sets of connecting frames are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column in a circular array. A shielding plate is fixedly connected between every two sets of connecting frames. When the rotating column rotates, it drives the shielding plate to rotate. The adjustment assembly can be used to adjust the amount of nutrient solution in the cultivation tray.

[0004] The existing technology has the following technical problems: When cultivating mushrooms, the existing cultivation device is equipped with a spraying component to enable the mushrooms to absorb nutrients better. However, when the spraying component sprays the nutrient solution, it only sprays the solution towards the stems and branches of the mushrooms. Only a small portion of the nutrient solution penetrates into the root and stem parts. When the root and stem lack nutrients, the overall growth of the mushrooms will be restricted, which may result in smaller mushrooms and slower growth.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an intelligent temperature-controlled indoor mushroom cultivation box to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent temperature-controlled indoor mushroom cultivation box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. In existing cultivation devices on the market, in order to enable mushrooms to better absorb nutrients, corresponding spraying components are set up. However, when the spraying components spray nutrient solution, they only spray towards the branches and stems of the mushrooms. Only a small portion of the nutrient solution penetrates into the root and stem parts. When the root and stem lack nutrients, the overall growth of the mushrooms will be restricted, which may result in smaller mushroom size and slower growth.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent temperature-controlled indoor mushroom cultivation box, comprising an outer box and a protective door installed on the side of the outer box. A temperature control component is installed on the top inner side of the outer box, and a temperature sensor for temperature monitoring is installed on the outer box. A liquid storage tank is installed inside the outer box, and a sealing cover is installed in the middle of the liquid storage tank. A servo motor is installed inside the sealing cover, and a transmission rod is connected to the output end of the servo motor. A moving column is inserted inside the transmission rod, and a connecting frame is fixed at the upper end of the moving column. A cultivation basin is installed on the connecting frame, and a drainage hole is circumferentially opened at the lower end of the cultivation basin. The upper end of the connecting frame is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of a power cylinder installed on the outer box. An adjusting block is installed on the upper end of the connecting frame, and a spraying component is provided on the side of the adjusting block. The nutrient solution in the liquid storage tank is sprayed by the spraying component and immersed in the bottom of the cultivation basin, so that the mushroom roots and branches can fully absorb the nutrient solution.

[0008] Preferably, the lower outer wall of the movable column and the inner wall of the transmission rod are in contact with each other, and the movable column can slide on the transmission rod, and the longitudinal section of the movable column is set as a "T" shaped structure.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and using the "T"-shaped structure of the moving column, the moving column can be rotated by the transmission rod without affecting its sliding.

[0010] Preferably, multiple culture pots are evenly distributed on the connecting frame, and each culture pot can rotate on the connecting frame.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the nutrient solution can be sprayed onto all sides of the mushrooms planted in the cultivation pot by the rotation of the cultivation pot on the connecting frame.

[0012] Preferably, the adjusting block is misaligned with the spraying component in the initial state, and the spraying component includes a positioning block. A piston plate is installed inside the positioning block, and the piston plate is connected to the positioning block through an auxiliary spring. The positioning block is connected to the storage tank through a suction pipe, and a spraying pipe is installed at the lower end of the positioning block. A one-way flow valve is installed on both the suction pipe and the spraying pipe.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, and by adjusting the misalignment between the adjustment block and the spraying component in the initial state, the spraying component will not be controlled by the adjustment block when the connecting frame is rotating normally.

[0014] Preferably, a sealing ring is circumferentially fixed at one end of the piston plate that extends into the positioning block, and multiple liquid outlets are evenly distributed on the liquid spray pipe at the lower end of the positioning block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing performance of the piston plate can be improved when it moves inside the positioning block by using a sealing ring that is circumferentially fixed to the piston plate.

[0016] Preferably, the culture basins near the side wall of the storage tank of the connecting frame are equipped with guide wheels, and each culture basin is equipped with a transmission gear. The transmission gear is provided with a movable rack on its side. The culture basins equipped with guide wheels are provided with vortex springs. The bottom of the culture basins is equipped with branch rods. The storage tank is provided with multiple hollow grooves.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the vortex spring on the culture basin can improve the restoring elasticity of the culture basin after rotation.

[0018] Preferably, the edge of the guide wheel and the inner wall of the liquid storage tank with an annular cross-section are in close contact with each other, and the circumferential edge of the guide wheel is set as a rough surface.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact friction between the guide wheel and the inner wall of the storage tank can be improved through the rough surface of the guide wheel's edge.

[0020] Preferably, the movable rack and the transmission gear on the culture basin are meshed, and the movable rack can slide on the connecting frame.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the movable rack moves on the connecting frame, the meshing transmission gears can rotate synchronously.

[0022] Preferably, the branch rods are inclined at the bottom of the culture pot, and multiple branch rods are provided at the bottom of the culture pot.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the branch rods can be rotated synchronously by rotating the culture basin, thereby agitating the nutrient solution inside the storage tank and preventing the nutrient solution from stratifying due to prolonged stagnation.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: when the mushroom needs to be provided with the corresponding humidity, the mushroom roots and stems are immersed in the nutrient solution, and the spraying device is used to spray the mushroom branches and stems, so as to achieve full absorption of nutrient solution by the branches and roots and stems.

[0025] 1. Equipped with a temperature sensor, the temperature inside the outer chamber can be monitored through the temperature sensor settings, and the temperature control component can be set to adjust the temperature inside the outer chamber, so that the mushrooms cultivated inside the outer chamber can grow at a suitable temperature.

[0026] 2. A connecting frame is provided. The connecting frame is moved downward by a power cylinder, so that the bottom of the cultivation pot is immersed in the nutrient solution in the storage tank. The rotation of the connecting frame can mix the nutrient solution in the storage tank with the cultivation pot. At the same time, after the connecting frame rotates, the piston plate can be intermittently squeezed by the adjusting block, so that the positioning block can draw and discharge the nutrient solution. The nutrient solution sprayed by the spray pipe can irrigate the branches and stems of the mushroom, so that the roots and stems of the mushroom can be fully contacted with the nutrient solution.

[0027] 3. Equipped with guide wheels, the guide wheels, in conjunction with the liquid storage tank and the hollow groove, allow the cultivation pot to rotate back and forth. Utilizing the rotation of the cultivation pot on the connecting frame, the stems of the mushrooms can be evenly exposed to the nutrient solution during spraying. Furthermore, the rotation of the cultivation pot allows the branch rods at the bottom to further and thoroughly mix the nutrient solution. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-8Existing cultivation devices, when cultivating mushrooms, use spray components to improve nutrient absorption. However, these spray components only spray the nutrient solution onto the stems and branches of the mushrooms, with only a small portion penetrating to the roots. When the roots lack nutrients, the overall growth of the mushrooms is restricted, potentially resulting in smaller mushrooms and slower growth. To address this technical problem, this embodiment discloses the following technical content: an intelligent temperature-controlled indoor mushroom cultivation box, including an outer box 1 and components installed on the side of the outer box 1. The outer casing 1 has a protective door 2 on one side and a temperature control component 3 installed on the top inner side. A temperature sensor 4 for temperature monitoring is also installed on the outer casing 1. A liquid storage tank 5 is installed inside the outer casing 1, and a sealing cover 6 is installed in the middle of the liquid storage tank 5. A servo motor is installed inside the sealing cover 6, and a transmission rod 7 is connected to the output end of the servo motor. A moving column 8 is inserted inside the transmission rod 7, and a connecting frame 9 is fixed to the upper end of the moving column 8. A culture basin 10 is installed on the connecting frame 9, and a drainage hole is circumferentially opened at the lower end of the culture basin 10. The upper rotating shaft of the connecting frame 9 is connected to the telescopic end of a power cylinder 11 mounted on the outer casing 1. The connecting frame 9 has an adjustable block 12 mounted on its upper rotating shaft, and a spraying component 13 is provided on the side of the adjustable block 12. The spraying component 13 and the bottom of the cultivation pot 10 are immersed in the nutrient solution in the storage tank 5, allowing the mushroom roots and branches to fully absorb the nutrient solution. The lower outer wall of the moving column 8 and the inner wall of the transmission rod 7 are in contact, and the moving column 8 can slide on the transmission rod 7. The longitudinal section of the moving column 8 is a "T" shaped structure. Multiple cultivation pots 10 are evenly distributed on the connecting frame 9, and each cultivation pot 10 can rotate on the connecting frame 9. The adjustable block 12 is initially in a certain state. In this state, it is misaligned with the spraying component 13, and the spraying component 13 includes a positioning block 131. A piston plate 132 is installed inside the positioning block 131, and the piston plate 132 is connected to the positioning block 131 through an auxiliary spring 135. The positioning block 131 is connected to the storage tank 5 through a suction pipe 133, and a spraying pipe 134 is also installed at the lower end of the positioning block 131. A one-way flow valve is installed on both the suction pipe 133 and the spraying pipe 134. A sealing ring is circumferentially fixed at one end of the piston plate 132 that extends into the positioning block 131, and multiple liquid outlets are evenly distributed on the spraying pipe 134 at the lower end of the positioning block 131.

[0040] When mushroom cultivation is required, the mushrooms are placed in the cultivation basin 10 on the connecting rack 9. The temperature sensor 4 on the outer casing 1 can monitor the internal temperature of the casing. When the internal temperature of the outer casing 1 becomes abnormal, the temperature control component 3 is used to adjust the internal temperature of the outer casing 1. It should be noted that the temperature control component 3 is existing technology, and this application directly utilizes the temperature control component 3 without improving its principle. Therefore, the working principle of the temperature control component 3 is not described in detail. At the same time, in order to supplement the light for the mushrooms inside the outer casing 1, supplementary lights can be installed on the side wall of the outer casing 1. While supplementing the light, the servo motor can be turned on. The servo motor can be turned on to... The connecting frame 9 rotates, causing the cultivation basin 10 on it to rotate synchronously. This rotation ensures that the mushrooms, whether near or far from the supplemental light, receive uniform illumination. Initially, the adjusting block 12 and the spraying component 13 are misaligned. Therefore, when the connecting frame 9 rotates to provide supplemental lighting for the mushrooms, the adjusting block 12 does not activate the spraying component 13. When spraying is needed, the power cylinder 11 is activated, pushing the connecting frame 9 downwards. Simultaneously, the moving column 8 at the lower end of the connecting frame 9 moves along the transmission rod 7. As the connecting frame 9 moves downwards, the lower end of the cultivation basin 10 is immersed in the storage solution. Inside the nutrient solution in the liquid tank 5, as the connecting frame 9 moves downward, the adjusting block 12 on its upper rotating shaft also moves to the working area of ​​the spraying component 13, activating the servo motor. Once activated, the servo motor uses the transmission rod 7 and the moving column 8 to drive the connecting frame 9 to rotate synchronously. Because the bottom of the cultivation pot 10 is immersed in the liquid tank 5, the nutrient solution can contact the roots of the mushrooms through the drainage holes at the bottom of the cultivation pot 10. Furthermore, the rotation of the lower end of the cultivation pot 10 in the liquid tank 5 also mixes the nutrient solution. The rotation of the connecting frame 9 causes the adjusting block 12 to rotate synchronously. When the adjusting block 12 rotates and contacts the end of the piston plate 132, it can squeeze the piston plate 132. When the pressure is applied, the nutrient solution inside the positioning block 131 can be squeezed out through the spray pipe 134. The squeezed-out nutrient solution can be poured onto the branches of the mushrooms inside the cultivation pot 10. When the adjusting block 12 rotates and disengages from the piston plate 132, the piston plate 132 returns to its original position under the action of the auxiliary spring 135. After the piston plate 132 returns to its original position, it uses the suction pipe 133 to draw the nutrient solution inside the storage tank 5. This cycle is repeated to ensure that the mushroom roots and branches fully absorb the nutrient solution, thus avoiding the problem of limited growth caused by the mushroom roots not being able to fully absorb the nutrient solution. At the same time, the protective door 2 is equipped with an observation window, through which the mushrooms inside the outer box 1 can be observed.

[0041] Example 2: The technical content disclosed in this example is a further improvement based on Example 1. The following technical content is disclosed in this example: a guide wheel 14 is installed on the culture basin 10 near the side wall of the storage tank 5 of the connecting frame 9, and a transmission gear 15 is installed on each culture basin 10. A movable rack 16 is provided on the side of the transmission gear 15. A spiral spring is provided on the culture basin 10 with the guide wheel 14. A branch rod 17 is installed at the bottom of the culture basin 10. Multiple hollow grooves 18 are opened on the storage tank 5. The edge of the guide wheel 14 and the inner wall of the storage tank 5 with a cross-section of annular structure are in close contact with each other, and the circumferential edge of the guide wheel 14 is set as a rough surface. The movable rack 16 and the transmission gear 15 on the culture basin 10 are meshed and connected, and the movable rack 16 can slide on the connecting frame 9. The branch rod 17 is inclined at the bottom of the culture basin 10, and multiple branch rods 17 are provided at the bottom of the culture basin 10.

[0042] When the connecting frame 9 is pushed downward by the power cylinder 11, the lower end of the culture basin 10 on it is immersed in the liquid storage tank 5. Because the guide wheel 14 is in contact with the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 5, when the connecting frame 9 is rotated by the servo motor, the contact between the guide wheel 14 and the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 5 causes the guide wheel 14 to drive the culture basin 10 to rotate. After one culture basin 10 rotates, the transmission gear 15 drives the movable rack 16 to move. The movement of the movable rack 16 causes the other transmission gears 15 to drive the culture basin 10 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, after the connecting frame 9 continues to rotate, the guide wheel 14 rotates to the liquid storage tank 5. After the upper hollow groove 18 is positioned relative to the other, the cultivation basin 10 equipped with the guide wheel 14 is reset and springs back under the action of the vortex spring. After the cultivation basin 10 located at the outer end of the connecting frame 9 is reset, the remaining cultivation basins 10 will be reset synchronously under the action of the movable rack 16 and the transmission gear 15. This enables the cultivation basin 10 to rotate back and forth. The rotation of the cultivation basin 10 not only allows the nutrient solution to fully contact all areas of the mushroom branches during the spraying process, but also the bottom of the cultivation basin 10 is equipped with multiple branch rods 17. The rotation of the branch rods 17 can evenly stir the nutrient solution inside the storage tank 5, so that the various nutrients can be more evenly distributed in the solution.
