[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a cultivation box for Gastrodia elata cultivation includes a box body 1, on which an exhaust hole is provided to allow ventilation to the outside.
[0026] A door 2 is hinged to the front end of the housing 1. The door 2 is equipped with a touch control screen 3 and an observation window 12. The door 2 is equipped with a handle 10, and the end of the door 2 that is away from the hinged end of the housing 1 is magnetically attached.
[0027] like Figure 2-3As shown, the housing 1 has two brackets 4, one upper and one lower. The two side walls of the brackets 4 are rotatably connected to the inside of the housing 1 via a rotating frame 18. The brackets 4 are rotated by a rotating assembly connected to the housing 1. The rotating assembly includes a gearbox 13 mounted on the outer wall of the housing 1 and a drive motor 14 connected to the gearbox 13. The drive motor 14 is controlled by the touch control screen 3. The output end of the drive motor 14 is connected to the gearbox 13. A rotating shaft 15 is connected to the gearbox 13. The other end of the rotating shaft 15 passes through the housing 1 and is connected to a two-link rod 16. The two-link rod 16 includes a long rod and a short rod connected together. The other end of the short rod is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 15. The other end of the long rod is rotatably connected to the front side wall of the lower bracket 4. The two brackets 4 are connected by a linkage plate 17. The two ends of the linkage plate 17 are rotatably connected to the side walls of the upper and lower brackets 4, respectively. When the bracket 4 needs to be rotated, the drive motor 14 is controlled by the touch control screen 3 to drive the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, so that the other end of the short rod that is far away from the rotating shaft 15 drops, thereby causing the other end of the long rod to drive the front end of the bracket 4 to drop, so that the bracket 4 tilts, making it easier for staff to see the condition of each culture pot 8.
[0028] The gearbox 13 includes a housing and a main gear and a driven gear meshing inside the housing. The main gear and the driven gear are rotatably connected inside the housing. The main gear is connected to the output end of the drive motor 14, and the driven gear is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 15.
[0029] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the support 4 is provided with a culture tray 5. The top surface of the culture tray 5 has a number of through holes arranged in a matrix. The through holes are provided with a downwardly recessed cup 6. The side wall of the cup 6 has a number of strip holes 7, so that if there is any liquid residue in the cup 6, it can be drained through the strip holes 7. The center of the cup 6 is connected to a culture bowl 8. The bottom of the culture bowl 8 and the bottom of the cup 6 connected to the culture bowl 8 are both provided with ventilation holes 9. The bottom side wall of the culture bowl 8 is provided with vertical ventilation holes 11. The ventilation holes 9 increase the air permeability of the bottom of the culture bowl 8, and the vertical ventilation holes 11 increase the air permeability of the middle part of the culture bowl 8.
[0030] The culture pot 8 contains a substrate. The substrate includes leaves placed at the bottom of the culture pot 8, wood blocks placed on the leaves, sawdust filling the gaps between the wood blocks, Armillaria mellea placed on the sawdust, a second layer of wood blocks placed on the Armillaria mellea, a second layer of sawdust filling the second layer of wood blocks, Gastrodia elata placed on the second layer of sawdust, and a third layer of sawdust filling the gaps between the Gastrodia elata.
[0031] The enclosure 1 is equipped with a temperature control component and a humidity control component. The temperature control component and the humidity control component are controlled by the touch control screen 3. The touch control screen 3 has a built-in PLC control system. The PLC control system is a common control system and is existing technology.
[0032] The temperature control component includes a hot air blower 22 connected to the bottom surface of the housing 1 and a temperature sensor connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The air outlet of the hot air blower 22 is located on the top surface, and the hot air blows vertically upwards. Both the hot air blower 22 and the temperature sensor are controlled by the touch control screen 3. The temperature sensor senses the temperature inside the housing 1 and transmits the information to the touch control screen 3. The PLC control system built into the touch control screen 3 then controls the hot air blower 22 to blow hot air.
[0033] The humidity control component includes two sets of atomizers 23, one upper and one lower, and a humidity sensor installed on the inner wall of the chamber 1. The atomizers 23 are connected to a water supply pipe, and an electromagnetic valve is installed on the water supply pipe. The water supply pipe is fixed on the inner wall of the chamber 1, and the two sets of atomizers 23 are respectively positioned above the culture bowl 8. The nozzles of the atomizers 23 point towards the center line of the chamber 1. The electromagnetic valve and the humidity sensor are controlled by the touch control screen 3. The humidity sensor senses the humidity inside the chamber 1 and transmits the information to the touch control screen 3. The PLC control system built into the touch control screen 3 controls the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve, and sprays water mist into the chamber 1 through the atomizers 23.
[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, a receiving tray 19 is provided below the bracket 4. The receiving tray 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1. A discharge hole 20 is opened on the bottom surface of one end of the receiving tray 19. A discharge pipe 21 is connected below the discharge hole 20. The other end of the discharge pipe 21 passes through the box 1 and is connected to the collection box. The collection box is connected to the back of the box 1. The receiving tray 19 can catch water droplets or debris falling from the vent hole 9 and the vertical vent hole 11 to prevent contamination of the inside of the box 1. The mixture falling on the receiving tray 19 will roll towards the end of the discharge hole 20 because the bottom surface of the receiving tray 19 is inclined, or the receiving tray 19 can be directly rinsed with water, so that the mixture is sent to the collection box for collection through the discharge hole 20 and the discharge pipe 21.
[0035] The operation process of this invention is as follows:
[0036] In use, open the door 2, and use the touch control screen 3 to drive the drive motor 14 to rotate the short rod in the two-link 16, causing the other end of the short rod to descend, which in turn causes the long rod to descend, thus lowering the front end of the bracket 4. The bracket 4 is rotated by the rotating frame 18 until it rotates 45°, at which point all the culture pots 8 can be clearly seen by the staff. Then, place the substrate in the culture pot 8, and then pour water into the culture pot 8 with the substrate placed in it to thoroughly soak the substrate. The mixture that falls onto the receiving plate 19 through the vent hole 9 and the vertical vent hole 11 is discharged through the discharge hole 20. Then, drive the drive motor 14 to reset the bracket 4, so that the culture tray 5 is placed horizontally. Then, set the temperature and humidity through the touch control screen 3, and detect them through the temperature and humidity sensors.
[0037] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
