Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mushroom cultivation equipment technology, specifically to a rotary edible mushroom cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary mushroom cultivation devices achieve uniform light, ventilation, and moisture contact with the substrate bags through mechanical rotation, effectively improving the uniformity of mushroom growth and yield per unit space, and are widely used in large-scale mushroom cultivation. However, existing rotary mushroom cultivation devices have significant space utilization defects. The spacing between planting layers is mostly fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust according to the needs of different growth stages of edible fungi. Fixed spacing design leads to two consequences: firstly, it wastes space during the primordia formation period; secondly, during the fruiting period, the insufficient spacing causes problems such as poor ventilation and the proliferation of miscellaneous fungi, seriously affecting cultivation efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a rotating edible mushroom cultivation device with adjustable interlayer spacing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a rotating edible mushroom cultivation device. This device, with its adjustable layer spacing, aims to solve the problems of space waste and poor ventilation during the fruiting period caused by fixed layer spacing in existing devices, thereby improving space utilization and cultivation efficiency in edible mushroom cultivation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A rotating edible mushroom cultivation device includes multiple turntables, each turntable having a fixing hole for placing mushroom bags. Each turntable is slidably mounted on a rotating shaft in the up-down direction, and the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on a fixed frame. An elastic limiting component for adaptively adjusting the layer spacing is provided between the turntables.

[0006] Preferably, the elastic limiting component includes a sleeve and a spring. The sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the rotating shaft, and the spring cooperates with the sleeve. The sleeve is used to guide the spring and to provide a minimum spacing limit for the interlayer spacing of the turntable.

[0007] Preferably, a retractable cap is fitted over the spring at the top of the sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the turntable and the rotating shaft are equipped with a guide structure to restrict relative rotation in the horizontal plane, the guide structure including a matching guide block and a guide groove.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing frame includes a top plate and a bottom plate, with multiple surrounding rods provided on the bottom plate, and the top plate can be detachably installed and fixed on the surrounding rods.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the rotating shaft is provided with a driven gear, which is driven by a cooperating driving gear, and the driving gear is installed at the output end of the power drive device.

[0011] Preferably, the power drive device is mounted and fixed on the base plate, and the base plate is also provided with a counterweight for balance.

[0012] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: This invention achieves flexible adjustment of the planting layer spacing by setting elastic limiting components between adjacent turntables, effectively solving the defects of the fixed spacing design in existing devices. During the primordia formation stage, the layer spacing can be reduced by compressing the springs to make full use of the planting space and avoid space waste; after entering the fruiting stage, the layer spacing can be increased by resetting the springs to ensure the ventilation conditions required for the growth of the mushroom bags, reduce the risk of the growth of miscellaneous fungi, and thus significantly improve planting efficiency.

[0013] In this invention, the coordinated operation of the sleeve and spring in the elastic limiting component not only provides a stable guiding effect for the spring, preventing spring deformation and displacement, but also achieves minimum layer spacing protection through the sleeve length, preventing excessive pressure on the turntable from damaging the mushroom bags. Simultaneously, the counterweight on the base plate balances the vibrations generated during the operation of the power drive device, ensuring the overall stability of the device and reducing the adverse effects of vibration on the growth of the mushroom bags.

[0014] In this invention, the mounting frame features a detachable top plate design, coupled with a rotary table structure that allows for adjustments in the number of tables, significantly enhancing the device's versatility and adaptability. Growers can flexibly adjust the number of rotary tables based on their planting scale, available space, and the growth requirements of different edible fungi varieties. Furthermore, the flexible limiting components adjust the interlayer spacing, enabling the device to adapt to various edible fungi cultivation scenarios and reducing equipment investment costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] Figures 1 to 2 A rotating edible mushroom cultivation device is presented. The device consists of four core parts: a support and fixing mechanism, a rotation drive mechanism, a cultivation bearing mechanism, and a spacing adjustment mechanism. These parts work together to achieve stable placement of the mushroom bags, synchronous rotation, and flexible adjustment of the layer spacing. The specific structure, assembly, and functions are as follows: The support and fixing mechanism provides a stable installation foundation for the entire device. Specifically, it adopts a fixed frame structure, which includes a top plate 100, a bottom plate, and multiple surrounding rods 300. The bottom plate is made of high-strength stainless steel, which can not only bear the weight of all other components of the device, but also serve as the mounting carrier for the power drive device 430 and the counterweight 210, ensuring the stability of the bottom center of gravity of the device.

[0019] The surrounding rods 300 are evenly distributed along the edge of the base plate and are fixedly connected to the base plate by welding. Bolt holes are provided at the top of the rods. The top plate 100 is detachably connected to the surrounding rods 300 by bolts. This detachable design provides the necessary operating space for the addition, removal, and position adjustment of the turntable 500 during subsequent layer spacing adjustment. At the same time, the surrounding rods 300 can also protect the internal structures of the device, such as the turntable 500 and the mushroom bags, to prevent external collisions from affecting the planting.

[0020] The counterweight 210 installed on the base plate is made of high-density cast iron. Its weight is adapted according to the overall weight and center of gravity distribution of the device. It is mainly used for balance during hoisting to prevent the device from tipping over during operation. It can also balance the vibration generated by the power drive device 430 during operation, further improving the stability of the device operation.

[0021] The rotation drive mechanism provides power for the rotation function of the device and mainly consists of a power drive unit 430, a driving gear, and a driven gear 420. The power drive unit 430 is a geared motor, which is bolted to one side of the base plate. Its output shaft is keyed to the driving gear to ensure stable power transmission. The driven gear 420 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the rotating shaft 400 and meshes with the driving gear. The meshing clearance is precisely adjusted to ensure smooth power transmission and prevent jamming. The speed of the geared motor can be adjusted according to the needs of edible mushroom cultivation. By controlling the motor speed, the rotating shaft 400 and the turntable 500 rotate at a uniform speed, thereby ensuring that the mushroom bags receive uniform light, ventilation, and moisture, improving the uniformity of mushroom growth.

[0022] The planting support mechanism is used to place the mushroom bags and achieve synchronous rotation. It mainly includes multiple turntables 500 and a rotating shaft 400. The rotating shaft 400 is made of solid carbon steel, and its upper and lower ends are respectively mounted on the top plate 100 and the center of the bottom plate of the fixed frame through bearings. The choice of bearings ensures the flexibility of the rotating shaft 400 and reduces the friction during the rotation process. The multiple turntables 500 are all slidably mounted on the rotating shaft 400 in the vertical direction. The number of turntables 500 can be increased or decreased according to the planting scale and space requirements. The surface of each turntable 500 is evenly provided with mounting holes 510 that cooperate with the rotating shaft 400 and multiple fixing holes 520. The diameter of the fixing holes 520 is designed according to the diameter of common mushroom bags, and the hole walls adopt a smooth arc transition structure, which can not only achieve stable placement of mushroom bags, but also avoid scratching the surface of mushroom bags.

[0023] To ensure that the turntable 500 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 400 and to prevent relative rotation between the two in the horizontal plane, a guide structure is provided between the turntable 500 and the rotating shaft 400. Specifically, the guide structure can be an adapted guide block 410 and a guide groove 511. The guide block 410 is set on the side wall of the rotating shaft 400, and the guide groove 511 is opened along the axial direction of the mounting hole 510. The guide block 410 slides into the guide groove 511. Through the limiting cooperation between the guide block 410 and the guide groove 511, the rotating shaft 400 can drive the turntable 500 to rotate synchronously through the guide block 410 when it rotates, ensuring that the rotation trajectory and rotation speed of all the mushroom bags are consistent.

[0024] The spacing adjustment mechanism is used to flexibly adjust the layer spacing between adjacent turntables 500. Specifically, it employs an elastic limiting component, which includes a sleeve 600, a spring 700, and a retractable cap 610, all fitted onto the outside of the rotating shaft 400 and located between two adjacent turntables 500. The sleeve 600 is made of hollow stainless steel, with its inner diameter fitting a clearance fit with the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 400. After being fitted onto the rotating shaft 400, it can slide freely axially. On one hand, it provides stable axial guidance for the spring 700 fitted on its outside, preventing the spring 700 from shifting or twisting during compression or extension, ensuring that the elastic force of the spring 700 can be transmitted axially. On the other hand, the length of the sleeve 600 is precisely designed to provide a minimum spacing limit between adjacent turntables 500, preventing excessive pressure on the turntables 500 during layer spacing adjustment from causing the layer spacing to become too small and squeezing the mushroom bags, thus ensuring the growth space of the mushroom bags.

[0025] Among them, the spring 700 is a high-strength compression spring 700, which is fitted together with the sleeve 600. In its natural state, the spring 700 is in a slightly extended state, which generates an upward support force on the turntable 500 above, providing an elastic basis for adjusting the layer spacing. The telescopic cap 610 is fitted on the top of the sleeve 600 and located above the spring 700. It is made of hollow stainless steel and is fitted on the outer side of the top of the sleeve 600 to prevent water ingress. At the same time, it can extend and retract along the axial direction of the sleeve 600, and cooperate with the spring 700 to adjust the layer spacing when the turntable 500 is pressed.

[0026] The overall working process of this device includes the assembly and debugging stage, the interlayer spacing adjustment stage, and the normal operation stage, as detailed below: Assembly and debugging stage: First, fix the power drive device 430, the drive gear, and the counterweight 210 to their corresponding positions on the base plate. Then, install the lower end of the rotating shaft 400 in the center of the base plate through a bearing, ensuring that the driven gear 420 at the lower end of the rotating shaft 400 meshes precisely with the drive gear. Next, install the elastic limiting components onto the rotating shaft 400 in sequence, and then install the corresponding number of turntables 500 according to planting needs. During the installation process, ensure that the guide block 410 on the inner wall of the turntable 500 is accurately embedded in the guide groove 511 of the rotating shaft 400. After that, fix the top plate 100 to the top of the retaining rod 300 with bolts, and connect and fix the upper end of the rotating shaft 400 to the top plate 100 through a bearing. Finally, check the assembly of each component, adjust the speed of the power drive device 430, and ensure that the rotating shaft 400 and the turntable 500 can rotate smoothly and at a uniform speed, and that the elastic limiting components can extend and retract flexibly without jamming.

[0027] Layer spacing adjustment stage: The layer spacing is adjusted according to the growth stage requirements of edible fungi. Before adjustment, the bolts on the top plate 100 must be unscrewed and the top plate 100 must be removed to provide space for operation. When the edible fungi are in the primordia formation stage and the interlayer spacing needs to be reduced to improve space utilization, press the corresponding turntable 500 downwards. The turntable 500 drives the spring 700 to compress axially along the sleeve 600 until the required interlayer spacing is achieved. At this time, the length of the sleeve 600 limits the interlayer spacing to prevent it from being reduced excessively, and it can also accommodate more turntables 500 and their mushroom bags. When the edible fungi enter the fruiting stage and the interlayer spacing needs to be increased to ensure smooth ventilation and prevent the growth of miscellaneous fungi, the upper part of the turntable 500 can be removed directly. The lower turntable 500 rises under the elastic restoring force of the spring 700 until the spring 700 returns to a suitable extension state, thereby increasing the interlayer spacing. If it is necessary to increase or decrease the number of turntables 500, the turntables 500 can be added or removed directly after the top plate 100 is removed. After the adjustment is completed, the top plate 100 can be reinstalled and fixed on the surrounding rod 300.

[0028] Normal operation phase: Place the mushroom bags one by one into the fixing holes 520 on the turntable 500 to ensure stable placement; start the power drive device 430, which drives the drive gear to rotate. The drive gear drives the driven gear 420 and the rotating shaft 400 to rotate through meshing transmission. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 400, the guide block 410 and the guide groove 511 work together to drive all the turntables 500 to rotate synchronously and uniformly. During the rotation of the turntable 500, the mushroom bags on it rotate accordingly, achieving uniform light, ventilation and moisture contact; during operation, the counterweight 210 on the bottom plate balances the vibration generated by the power drive device 430 to ensure stable operation of the device; according to the growth of edible fungi, the layer spacing adjustment phase can be repeated at any time to adjust the layer spacing until the planting is completed.
