Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fungal cultivation, specifically a fungal growth control device based on LED lighting. Background Technology

[0002] The core of LED light regulation in fungal growth lies in utilizing specific wavelengths of light as precise "biological development signals," rather than as an energy source. By controlling the ratio, intensity, and irradiation cycle of red and blue light, morphogenesis can be directionally regulated: blue light (450-470nm) plays a key role in inducing primordium formation and inhibiting stipe elongation, while red light (620-660nm) mainly promotes cap expansion and pigment deposition. This technology enables the replacement and optimization of natural light in a factory-like, closed environment, significantly improving the uniformity of fruiting bodies, their marketable appearance, and overall yield.

[0003] Current cultivation techniques strictly adhere to lighting strategies based on the growth cycle. During the mycelial vegetative growth stage, a dark or very low-light environment is typically maintained to prevent light from inhibiting mycelial spread. Once the reproductive growth stage begins, precise lighting is required: during the bud induction stage, low-intensity, short-duration blue light is used to induce primordia; during the fruiting body development stage, regular light-dark cycles (e.g., 8-12 hours of light per day) are necessary, along with an appropriate red-blue light ratio to shape normal cap and stipe morphology and promote coloration. After harvest, lighting is stopped again during the post-harvest mycelial recovery period to allow the mycelium to recover.

[0004] The above cultivation process has the following defects: During the switching of light cycles, the on and off of the LED lights will cause the temperature of the transparent cover to fluctuate drastically. When the lights are turned on, the chip heats up and the surface of the cover heats up. When the lights are turned off, it cools down rapidly. In the high-humidity mushroom house environment, when the surface temperature of the transparent cover drops below the ambient dew point, water droplets will quickly condense. These condensed water droplets adhere to the surface of the cover and will scatter and refract the emitted light, resulting in a decrease in the effective light intensity that actually reaches the surface of the mushroom log, thereby interfering with the accurate transmission of light signals and ultimately affecting the quality and yield of the mushrooms.

[0005] Therefore, a fungal growth regulation device based on LED light is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: A fungal growth control device based on LED lighting, comprising a shelf, with a gearbox and a vertical plate fixedly installed at both ends of the shelf; multiple control units for supplementing light to the fungal substrate are provided between the gearbox and the vertical plate; each control unit includes a gear rotating on the inner wall of the gearbox and a rack sliding on the inner wall of the gearbox, the gear and rack being meshed; a first power source for controlling the vertical movement of the rack is fixedly installed at the top of the shelf; a turntable rotating on the outer wall of the gearbox and the vertical plate is also included, wherein the turntable on the outer wall of the gearbox and the gear are coaxially fixedly connected; multiple LED tubes are fixedly installed between a pair of turntables; a slidable cleaning plate is also included between the gearbox and the vertical plate; through the meshing action of the gear and the rack, controlling the vertical movement of the rack can switch and clean the LED tubes, reducing the scattering and interference of light intensity caused by condensation due to low surface temperature after the switching cycle of traditional LED tubes, ensuring the effectiveness of each lighting cycle.

[0008] Preferably, multiple sets of outer shells are fixedly provided between the gearbox and the upright plate; a screw is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the outer shell; a slider is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw and slidably disposed on the inner wall of the outer shell; the slider is used to constrain the radial sliding of the cleaning plate; a second power source for driving the rotation of multiple screws is fixedly provided on one side of the shelf; when the LED tube needs to be cleaned, the second power source can be started to drive multiple screws through a belt. When the screws rotate, the slider is driven to slide along the outer shell through the threaded pair. The slider can drive the cleaning plate to move radially, so as to realize the coordinated control of the cleaning movement of multiple cleaning plates by a single second power source. It is worth mentioning that the screw material should be stainless steel to extend its service life in high humidity environments.

[0009] Preferably, multiple spring telescopic rods are fixedly provided between the slider and the cleaning plate; arc-shaped guide plates are fixedly provided at both ends of the cleaning plate; the slider and the cleaning plate are connected by the spring telescopic rods in a floating manner. This arrangement allows the cleaning plate to be subjected to additional elastic force applied by the spring telescopic rods when cleaning the transparent cover of the LED tube, thereby increasing the cleaning force of the cleaning plate on the surface of the LED tube. On the other hand, in conjunction with the guide plates on both sides of the cleaning plate, when the LED tube is switched with the turntable, the guide plates can be compressed by their arc-shaped surfaces and the spring telescopic rods to reduce the resistance caused by spatial interference between the cleaning plate and the LED tube, ensuring that the LED tube can be stably switched to the cleaning plate for cleaning.

[0010] Preferably, a rubber sleeve is fixedly provided between the slider and the cleaning plate and fitted onto the outside of the spring telescopic rod; by providing the rubber sleeve, the rubber sleeve can seal and protect the spring telescopic rod, thereby reducing the corrosive effect of environmental moisture on the spring telescopic rod and extending the service life of the spring telescopic rod.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the cleaning plate is provided with a water collection box that is fixedly connected to the gearbox and the upright plate; multiple partitions are fixedly provided between a pair of LED tubes; the partitions can isolate each LED tube. When the upper left LED tube is cleaned by the cleaning plate, the condensate scraped off its surface can fall to the inside of the partition and fall into the inside of the water collection box under the guidance of the inclined inner wall of the partition. The water collection box can collect the condensate removed from the surface of the LED tube and can be recycled by the staff periodically.

[0012] Preferably, multiple sets of UV lamps are fixedly installed between the gearbox and the upright plate; when the gear rotates, the LED lamp that has been scratched on the upper left can be switched to the upper right. At this time, the UV lamp can be turned on, and the UV lamp can emit a beam of light to sterilize the surface of the LED lamp, reduce other bacteria attached to the surface of the LED lamp, and avoid contaminating the growth of the mushroom stick.

[0013] Preferably, multiple pairs of air outlet pipes are fixedly provided between the gearbox and the upright plate, and each pair of air outlet pipes is connected to an air inlet pipe at its end. When the gear rotates, the hot air supply equipment connected to the end of the air inlet pipe can be activated, and the dry high-temperature airflow can be delivered to the surface of the transparent cover of the upper right LED tube through the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe to dry the surface of the LED tube. At the same time, by setting the air outlet pipe and the air inlet pipe in the upper right, it can avoid blocking or interfering with the normal illumination of the bottom LED tube.

[0014] Preferably, the UV lamp is located between a pair of air outlet pipes; By placing the UV lamp between a pair of air outlets, the air outlets can form a barrier through their own shape to reduce the scattering of light when the UV lamp is turned on, thereby reducing the interference of the UV lamp's scattering light on the surrounding mushroom sticks.

[0015] The advantages of this invention are: 1. The present invention discloses a fungal growth control device based on LED illumination. Through the meshing of gears and racks, the vertical movement of the rack can be controlled to switch and clean the LED tubes. This reduces the scattering and interference of light intensity caused by condensation due to low surface temperature after the switching cycle of traditional LED tubes, ensuring the effectiveness of each illumination cycle.

[0016] 2. The microbial growth control device based on LED illumination of the present invention, by activating a second power source, drives multiple screws through a belt. When the screws rotate, they drive a slider to slide along the outer shell through the threaded pair. The slider can drive the cleaning plate to move radially, so as to realize the coordinated control of the cleaning movement of multiple cleaning plates through a single second power source.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 8As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a fungal growth control device based on LED lighting includes a shelf 1, with a gearbox 12 and a vertical plate 13 fixedly mounted at both ends of the shelf 1; multiple control units for supplementing light to the fungal substrate are provided between the gearbox 12 and the vertical plate 13; each control unit includes a gear 14 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the gearbox 12 and a rack 15 slidably mounted on the inner wall of the gearbox 12, with the gear 14 and rack 15 meshing; a first power source for controlling the vertical movement of the rack 15 is fixedly mounted on the top of the shelf 1; a turntable 16 is also rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the gearbox 12 and the vertical plate 13, wherein the turntable 16 on the outer wall of the gearbox 12 is coaxially fixedly connected to the gear 14; multiple LED tubes 17 are fixedly mounted between a pair of turntables 16; and a cleaning plate 18 is also slidably mounted between the gearbox 12 and the vertical plate 13. During operation, shelf 1 is loaded with mushroom sticks, such as Figure 5 As shown, staff can supplement the mushroom logs with red and blue light stimulation by turning on the LED tube 17 located at the bottom, and work with the steam generator to increase the ambient humidity. However, because the LED tube 17 is in a high-humidity environment, and its surface temperature is easily affected by switching it on and off, the transparent cover cools rapidly when the LED tube 17 is turned off, easily causing condensation. Before restarting the LED tube 17 to supplement the mushroom logs with light, the control unit can be switched. Specifically, by activating the first power source (such as an electric cylinder or electric push rod), the rack 15 is controlled to move vertically. When the rack 15 moves, it meshes with the gear 14, causing the gear 14 to drive the directly connected turntable 16 and the LED tube 17 to deflect. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 5 The turntable 16 is deflected 120° counterclockwise to switch the original bottom LED tube 17 to the cleaning plate 18. The cleaning plate 18 is controlled to slide to physically scrape and clean its surface. A hydrophobic silicone scraper can be provided on the contact surface between the cleaning plate 18 and the LED tube 17. The clean LED tube 17 located at the upper right can be switched to the bottom. At this time, the bottom LED tube 17 can be powered to illuminate the mushroom stick. In addition, the LED tube 17 can be switched by controlling the forward and reverse deflection of the turntable 16 by the first power source. This can also avoid the wire entanglement that occurs when the turntable 16 rotates in one direction. By controlling the vertical movement of the rack 15 through the meshing of the gear 14 and the rack 15, the LED tube 17 can be switched and cleaned. This reduces the scattering and interference of light intensity caused by condensation due to low surface temperature after the switching cycle of the traditional LED tube 17, ensuring the effectiveness of each lighting cycle.

[0023] Please see Figures 5 to 7As shown, multiple sets of outer shells 2 are fixedly provided between the gearbox 12 and the upright plate 13; a screw 22 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 2; a slider 23 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 22 and slidably provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 2; the slider 23 is used to constrain the radial sliding of the cleaning plate 18; a second power source for driving the multiple screws 22 to rotate is fixedly provided on one side of the shelf 1. When the LED tube 17 needs to be cleaned, a second power source (such as a motor) can be started to drive multiple screws 22 through a belt (such as a water-resistant material like rubber). When the screws 22 rotate, the slider 23 can be driven to slide along the outer shell 2 through the threaded pair. The slider 23 can drive the cleaning plate 18 to move radially, so as to realize the cleaning movement of multiple cleaning plates 18 through the coordinated control of a single second power source. It is worth mentioning that the screws 22 should be made of stainless steel to extend their service life in high humidity environments. In addition, both the first and second power sources should meet at least IP65 / 66 moisture-proof requirements to adapt to the high humidity environment in which they are located.

[0024] Please see Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of spring telescopic rods 3 are fixedly provided between the slider 23 and the cleaning plate 18; and arc-shaped guide plates 32 are fixedly provided at both ends of the cleaning plate 18. The slider 23 and the cleaning plate 18 are connected by a spring telescopic rod 3 in a floating manner. This arrangement allows the cleaning plate 18 to be subjected to additional elastic force by the spring telescopic rod 3 when cleaning the transparent cover of the LED tube 17, thereby increasing the cleaning force of the cleaning plate 18 on the surface of the LED tube 17. On the other hand, in conjunction with the guide plates 32 on both sides of the cleaning plate 18, when the LED tube 17 is switched with the turntable 16, the guide plates 32 can reduce the resistance caused by spatial interference between the cleaning plate 18 and the LED tube 17 through the adaptive compression of their arc-shaped surfaces and the spring telescopic rod 3, ensuring that the LED tube 17 can be stably switched to the cleaning plate 18 for cleaning.

[0025] Please see Figure 7 As shown, a rubber sleeve 4, which is fitted over the spring telescopic rod 3, is fixed between the slider 23 and the cleaning plate 18. By setting a rubber sleeve 4, the spring telescopic rod 3 can be sealed and protected, thereby reducing the corrosive effect of environmental moisture on the spring telescopic rod 3 and extending the service life of the spring telescopic rod 3.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the cleaning plate 18 is provided with a water collection box 5 that is fixedly connected to the gearbox 12 and the upright plate 13; multiple partitions 52 are fixedly provided between a pair of LED tubes 17; by Figure 5For example, the partition 52 can isolate each LED tube 17. When the upper left LED tube 17 is cleaned by the cleaning plate 18, the condensate scraped off its surface can fall to the inside of the partition 52 and fall into the water collection box 5 under the guidance of the inclined inner wall of the partition 52. The water collection box 5 can collect the condensate removed from the surface of the LED tube 17 and can be recycled by the staff periodically.

[0027] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, multiple sets of UV lamps 6 are fixedly installed between the gearbox 12 and the vertical plate 13; by Figure 5 For example, when gear 14 rotates, the LED tube 17 that has been scratched on the upper left can be switched to the upper right. At this time, the UV lamp 6 can be turned on (e.g., for 1 minute). The UV lamp 6 can emit a beam of light to sterilize the surface of the LED tube 17, reduce other bacteria attached to the surface of the LED tube 17, and prevent them from contaminating the growth of the mushroom stick.

[0028] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, multiple pairs of air outlet pipes 7 are fixedly provided between the gearbox 12 and the vertical plate 13, and each pair of air outlet pipes 7 is connected to an air inlet pipe 72 at its end. by Figure 5 For example, when gear 14 rotates, the hot air supply equipment (such as a hot air blower) connected to the end of air inlet pipe 72 can be activated, and the dry high temperature airflow can be delivered to the surface of the transparent cover of the upper right LED tube 17 through air inlet pipe 72 and air outlet pipe 7 to dry the surface of the LED tube 17. At the same time, by setting the air outlet pipe 7 and air inlet pipe 72 in the upper right, it can avoid blocking or interfering with the normal illumination of the bottom LED tube 17.

[0029] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the UV lamp 6 is located between a pair of air outlet pipes 7; By placing the UV lamp 6 between a pair of air outlet pipes 7, the air outlet pipes 7 can form a barrier through their own shape to reduce the scattered light when the UV lamp 6 is turned on, thereby reducing the interference of the scattered light from the UV lamp 6 on the surrounding mushroom sticks.
