Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oyster mushroom cultivation technology, and particularly relates to a mushroom growing rack for oyster mushrooms. Background Technology

[0002] Oyster mushrooms are a highly nutritious food. The fruiting bodies of oyster mushrooms grow in clusters or singly, and the caps are grayish-white to light gray. They contain high-quality fungal protein, polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals and various trace elements, and have effects such as anti-tumor, lowering blood pressure and lowering cholesterol.

[0003] Mushroom growing racks are essential equipment in edible mushroom cultivation. They are typically made from cold-rolled steel plates through punching or from high-quality low-carbon steel wire through welding, plastic coating, and assembly. Existing mushroom growing racks are three-dimensional, multi-layered structures that can make efficient use of mushroom house space, increase the number of mushroom bags that can be placed, improve yield per unit area, and reduce resource waste. However, mushrooms exhibit phototropism during growth. Unilateral light exposure causes the mushrooms to bend towards the light source, resulting in twisted stems or poor development on one side of the cap. When the mushroom bags are fixed in place on the growing rack, prolonged stillness makes the mycelial growth within them susceptible to the effects of gravity and substrate density differences, leading to uneven mycelial distribution. Furthermore, the surface of the mushroom bags cannot receive light evenly, resulting in mushroom deformities caused by unilateral light exposure, which in turn affects the quality of Oyster mushrooms. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the fixed position of the mushroom bags in the existing mushroom growing racks leads to uneven mycelial distribution and difficulty in uniformly receiving light on the surface of the mushroom bags, resulting in deformed mushrooms due to unilateral light exposure, thus affecting the quality of oyster mushrooms. Therefore, this invention proposes a mushroom growing rack for oyster mushrooms.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A mushroom growing rack for oyster mushrooms includes two frames, a set of cylindrical tubes fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two frames, and a set of annular tubes fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the cylindrical tubes. A motor fixedly connected to the left side of the frame is fixedly connected to a drive gear inside the frame. A set of driven gears is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame. The drive gear meshes with the outer surface of each driven gear via a chain. A set of worm gears connected end to end is arranged inside the cylindrical tubes. The left end of each worm gear is fixedly connected to the right side of the drive gear and the driven gear, respectively. Each worm gear meshes with an annular gear slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular tube. A storage ring is fixedly connected to the inner ring of each annular gear.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: A housing is fixedly connected to the right side of the frame. A bevel gear inside the housing is fixedly connected to the right end of a worm gear. The right end of the worm gear located to the right of the driven gear is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the frame.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The inner bottom wall of the housing is rotatably connected to a straight rod, the top end of which is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the housing. A ring bevel gear is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the straight rod and meshes with the bevel gear. A set of reciprocating threads on the outer surface of the straight rod are threaded with nuts.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: A set of annular piston cylinders is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing. A set of vertical rods is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular piston plate that is slidably connected to the inner wall of each annular piston cylinder. Each vertical rod passes through the annular piston cylinder and is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the nut. A first one-way valve and a second one-way valve are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each annular piston cylinder.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The straight cylinder fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cylindrical cylinder is connected to the first one-way valve. The upper surface of the straight cylinder has a through hole. The air inlet end of the first one-way valve is connected to the inside of the straight cylinder, and the air outlet end of the first one-way valve is connected to the inside of the annular piston cylinder.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: A dust collection box is fixedly connected to the right side of the housing. A rubber plug is snapped into the lower part of the right side of the dust collection box. Dust collection mesh is embedded on the outer surface of both the dust collection box and the rubber plug. The air inlet of the second one-way valve is connected to the inside of the annular piston cylinder, and the air outlet of the second one-way valve is connected to the inside of the dust collection box.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The inner wall of the storage ring is fixedly connected with rubber particles, and the storage ring does not contact the outer surface of the cylinder and the annular cylinder.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: Both frames are fixedly connected to the bottom surface with casters, and the two frames are fixedly connected to each other on the side that is close to each other by a fixing rod.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this invention, the operation of the motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the chain meshing with the outer surface of the drive gear drives a set of driven gears to rotate synchronously. The drive gear and the driven gear are equipped with a worm gear on the right end to rotate, which in turn drives the ring gear meshing with the worm gear to rotate synchronously. This makes the mushroom bag placed on the outer surface of the storage ring rotate with the storage ring, which reduces the uneven distribution of mycelium and allows the surface of the mushroom bag to receive light more evenly. This reduces the occurrence of mushroom deformities caused by unilateral light exposure and improves the overall quality of Oyster mushrooms. Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-7 This invention provides a technical solution: a mushroom growing rack for oyster mushrooms, comprising two frames 1, a set of cylindrical tubes 2 fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two frames 1, and a set of annular tubes 3 fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the cylindrical tubes 2. The bottom surfaces of both frames 1 are fixedly connected with casters 27, and the adjacent sides of the two frames 1 are fixedly connected by fixing rods 28, i.e., both ends of the fixing rods 28 are respectively fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two frames 1. The casters 27 facilitate movement of the device. A motor 4 fixedly connected to the left side of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 5 disposed inside the frame 1. A set of driven gears 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1, and the drive gear 5 is connected to each driven gear 6 via a chain 7. The outer surfaces of the cylinder 2 and the inner surface of the cylinder 3 mesh with each other. The cylinder 2 is equipped with a set of worm gears 8 connected end to end. The left end of each worm gear 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the driving gear 5 and the driven gear 6, respectively. Each worm gear 8 meshes with the ring gear 9 that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular cylinder 3. Each ring gear 9 has a fixedly connected inner ring with a storage ring 10. The inner wall of the storage ring 10 is fixedly connected with rubber particles 25. The storage ring 10 does not contact the outer surfaces of the cylinder 2 and the annular cylinder 3 to prevent friction between the storage ring 10 and the outer surfaces of the cylinder 2 and the annular cylinder 3 during rotation. The rubber particles 25 increase the friction of the inner ring of the storage ring 10, which is beneficial to drive the mushroom bag to rotate with the storage ring 10 under the action of friction.

[0018] The operation of motor 4 drives the drive gear 5 to rotate. The chain 7 meshing with the outer surface of the drive gear 5 drives a set of driven gears 6 to rotate synchronously. The worm gear 8 set at the right end of the drive gear 5 and driven gears 6 rotates, which in turn drives the ring gear 9 meshing with the worm gear 8 to rotate synchronously. This causes the fungal bag placed on the outer surface of the storage ring 10 to rotate with the storage ring 10. The rotation of the fungal bag promotes air circulation around the fungal bag to a certain extent. The rotation can evenly distribute nutrients, water and oxygen in the culture medium, avoiding local mycelial over-density or under-density. Carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds produced by mycelial metabolism tend to accumulate locally in the fungal bag, inhibiting mycelial growth. Mycelial growth requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Poor ventilation will lead to carbon dioxide accumulation, inhibiting mycelial growth. The formation of mycelium in the fungal bag is the result of the synergistic effect of three stages: spore germination, mycelial growth and branching, and mycelial network expansion. It is affected by the apical growth mechanism, branching regulation and mycelial fusion. Driven by biological mechanisms and dependent on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, pH, and nutrients, understanding the biological processes and environmental requirements of mycelial formation is of great significance for optimizing spawn formulations, improving mycelial quality, and reducing contamination risks. The mycelial stage requires cultivation in the dark, as light induces premature differentiation of mycelia into fruiting bodies, affecting mycelial network formation. The rotation of the spawn bag accelerates the diffusion of metabolic products through airflow, reducing local inhibition effects and mitigating uneven mycelial distribution. During growth, the mushroom exhibits phototropism; unilateral light exposure causes the mushroom to bend towards the light source, leading to twisted stems or poor development on one side of the cap, resulting in deformed mushrooms. Unilateral light exposure also causes differences in light intensity on the mushroom surface, and uneven light exposure to the cap can trigger localized growth abnormalities, such as wavy, upturned edges or nodular protrusions. More even light exposure on the spawn bag surface mitigates the deformities caused by unilateral light exposure, thus improving the overall quality of Oyster mushrooms.

[0019] A housing 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the frame 1. A bevel gear 12 inside the housing 11 is fixedly connected to the right end of a worm gear 8. The right ends of the worm gear 8 on the right side of the driven gear 6 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the frame 1. A straight rod 14 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the housing 11, and the top end of the straight rod 14 is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the housing 11. An annular bevel gear 13 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the straight rod 14 meshes with the bevel gear 12. The engagement of the annular bevel gear 13 and the bevel gear 12 allows the motor 4 to provide rotational power to the straight rod 14. A set of reciprocating threads 15 on the outer surface of the straight rod 14 are threaded with nuts 16. A set of annular piston cylinders 17 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 11. Each annular piston cylinder... A set of vertical rods 19 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular piston plate 18, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular piston cylinder 17. Each vertical rod 19 passes through the annular piston cylinder 17 and is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the nut 16. The vertical rod 19 is slidably connected to the annular piston cylinder 17 at the point of penetration. The setting of the vertical rod 19 causes the rotation of the straight rod 14 to drive the nut 16, which is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the reciprocating thread 15, to move up and down reciprocally. This causes the annular piston plate 18 to move up and down on the inner wall of the annular piston cylinder 17. The annular piston cylinder 17 does not contact the outer surface of the straight rod 14 to prevent friction between the straight rod 14 and the annular piston cylinder 17 when the straight rod 14 rotates. A first one-way valve 20 and a second one-way valve 21 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each annular piston cylinder 17.

[0020] A straight cylinder 22, fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cylindrical cylinder 2, is connected to a first one-way valve 20. A through hole 29 is provided on the upper surface of the straight cylinder 22. The inlet end of the first one-way valve 20 is connected to the interior of the straight cylinder 22, and the outlet end of the first one-way valve 20 is connected to the interior of the annular piston cylinder 17. A dust collection box 23 is fixedly connected to the right side of the housing 11. A rubber stopper 24 is snapped into the lower part of the right side of the dust collection box 23, and dust collection mesh 26 is embedded on the outer surfaces of both the dust collection box 23 and the rubber stopper 24. The inlet end of the second one-way valve 21 is connected to the interior of the annular piston cylinder 17, and the outlet end of the second one-way valve 21 is connected to the interior of the dust collection box 23. The parts are connected. As the annular piston plate 18 moves up and down inside the annular piston cylinder 17, the air near the straight cylinder 22 flows through the through hole 29, the straight cylinder 22, the first one-way valve 20, the annular piston cylinder 17 and the second one-way valve 21 into the dust collection box 23. The air inside the dust collection box 23 flows to the outside through the dust collection net 26. The dust generated by the rotation of the mushroom bag follows the air flow and is collected inside the dust collection box 23 under the filtration of the dust collection net 26. The dust generated by the rotation of the mushroom bag is collected from the outside, which reduces the secondary pollution to the surrounding environment caused by the rotation of the mushroom bag. The air flow also reduces the risk of carbon dioxide accumulation.

[0021] The dust generated by the rotation of the mushroom bags includes sawdust, cottonseed hulls, corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse, wheat bran, corn flour, soybean meal, etc. These raw materials may form tiny particles during crushing, mixing, and bagging. During rotation, these particles may detach and become dust due to friction and collision. The mycelium of the oyster mushroom growing inside the bags may break due to mechanical action during rotation, forming small mycelial fragments. These fragments may contain mycelial metabolites and cell wall components. Oyster mushrooms release spores during growth, and rotation may accelerate spore diffusion. Spores are very fine particles that easily suspend in the air, forming dust. These dust particles and spores may enter the human body through the respiratory tract, irritating the respiratory mucosa and causing symptoms such as coughing and wheezing. Long-term inhalation of dust can lead to respiratory diseases such as allergic pneumonia. Harmful substances in the dust can also damage the gas exchange function of the lungs, causing symptoms such as difficulty breathing and chest pain. For people with allergies, spores and mycelial fragments in the dust may act as allergens, triggering allergic symptoms such as allergic asthma and rhinitis. Dust released into the air will cause air pollution and affect air quality. The particles and spores in the dust may be dispersed by the wind, causing certain pollution to the surrounding environment. The accumulation of dust released into the air over time may affect the normal growth and development of plants and animals, leading to fluctuations in the number and types of plants and animals in the region, and thus causing fluctuations in the ecological balance of the region. Therefore, the dust collection and treatment of fungal bag dust is very necessary.

[0022] The rotation of the worm gear 8 causes the bevel gear 12 to drive the ring bevel gear 13 to rotate, which in turn causes the nut 16 connected to the reciprocating thread 15 to move up and down, driving the ring piston plate 18 to move up and down on the inner wall of the ring piston cylinder 17. This causes the air near the straight cylinder 22 to flow through the through hole 29, the straight cylinder 22, the first one-way valve 20, the ring piston cylinder 17 and the second one-way valve 21 into the dust collection box 23. The air inside the dust collection box 23 flows to the outside through the dust collection net 26. The dust follows the air flow and is collected inside the dust collection box 23 under the filtration of the dust collection net 26. This collects the dust generated by the rotation of the mushroom bag and reduces the secondary pollution to the surrounding environment caused by the rotation of the mushroom bag.

[0023] Working principle: In use, connect motor 4 to the power supply. The operation of motor 4 drives the drive gear 5 to rotate. The chain 7 meshing with the outer surface of the drive gear 5 drives a set of driven gears 6 to rotate synchronously. The worm gear 8 set at the right end of the drive gear 5 and driven gears 6 rotates, which in turn drives the ring gear 9 meshing with the worm gear 8 to rotate synchronously. This causes the mushroom bag placed on the outer surface of the storage ring 10 to rotate with the storage ring 10, reducing uneven distribution of mycelium and allowing the surface of the mushroom bag to receive light more evenly. This reduces the occurrence of mushroom deformities caused by unilateral light exposure and improves the overall quality of oyster mushrooms. The rotation of the worm gear 8 causes the bevel gear 12 to drive the ring bevel gear 1 3. Rotation causes the nut 16, which is threaded on the outer surface of the reciprocating thread 15, to move up and down, driving the annular piston plate 18 to move up and down on the inner wall of the annular piston cylinder 17. This causes air near the straight cylinder 22 to flow through the through hole 29, the straight cylinder 22, the first one-way valve 20, the annular piston cylinder 17, and the second one-way valve 21 into the dust collection box 23. The air inside the dust collection box 23 flows to the outside through the dust collection net 26. The dust follows the air flow and is collected inside the dust collection box 23 under the filtration of the dust collection net 26. This collects the dust generated by the rotation of the mushroom bag, reducing the secondary pollution to the surrounding environment caused by the rotation of the mushroom bag.
