Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mushroom substrate moisture control technology, specifically a humidity self-regulating mushroom substrate moisture control device. Background Technology

[0002] As a specialty agricultural product with both nutritional and economic value, the large-scale and standardized cultivation of mushrooms has become an important direction for agricultural industrial upgrading. Throughout the entire growth cycle of mushrooms, the moisture content of the substrate is the core environmental factor determining their growth status and yield quality. Appropriate humidity is needed during the mycelial stage to ensure colonization and spread; stable humidity is needed during primordia formation to promote differentiation; and balanced humidity is needed during fruiting body development to prevent deformities or rot. Throughout the entire process, the substrate humidity must be precisely maintained within the golden range of 60%-70%. A humidity deviation exceeding ±5% may lead to decreased mycelial vitality, increased contamination rate by other microorganisms, and ultimately significant economic losses.

[0003] In the traditional manual control mode, growers need to rely on experience to water regularly and ventilate manually. This is not only labor-intensive and costly, but also relies heavily on touch to judge the moisture of the substrate, which can easily lead to over-watering or under-watering. Over-watering can cause water to accumulate at the bottom of the substrate, creating an anaerobic environment that can cause mycelium to rot, become sour, and breed harmful bacteria such as mold. Under-watering can cause the surface of the substrate to crack, the internal pores to shrink due to water loss, mycelium to be unable to breathe, and growth to stagnate or even die.

[0020] 1.

It can accurately regulate low humidity water replenishment, appropriate humidity pump shutdown and high humidity ventilation without real-time human intervention.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 10 The incubator body 1 provided in this application is illustrated in some embodiments.

[0043] In some embodiments, the incubator body 1 can be a box-type incubator, a trough-type incubator, a multi-layer rack-type incubator, etc. Among them, the box-type incubator can be, but is not limited to, a sealed incubator, a semi-open incubator, a pull-out incubator, an integrated temperature and humidity incubator, etc. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the incubator body 1 is described as a box-type culture device. Of course, other types of incubator bodies 1 can also adopt a similar structure, which will not be described in detail below.

[0044] Understandable Figure 1 The diagram only schematically illustrates some of the components included in the incubator body 1. The actual shape, size, location, and construction of these components are not subject to change. Figure 1 Due to limitations, the incubator body 1 can also include, compared to... Figure 1More or fewer parts.

[0045] In some embodiments, the incubator body 1 may include a door 2, which may be movably connected to the incubator body 1. For example, when the incubator body 1 is a box-type culture device, the incubator body 1 may be a sealed box structure, and the door 2 may be a transparent observation door 2, which facilitates observation of the internal culture medium status.

[0046] For example, the incubator body 1 may also include a material frame 3, which can be placed inside the incubator body 1 to provide a carrying space for the mushroom culture medium, and at the same time facilitate the overall removal and replacement of the culture medium.

[0047] The bottom of the material frame 3 is provided with a through hole to drain the water that accumulates at the bottom of the mushroom cultivation material when the humidity is high.

[0048] The material frame 3 can be a fixed bracket placed inside the incubator body 1, or it can be installed on the bracket inside the incubator body 1 by bolts.

[0049] The bottom of the incubator body 1 can be either supported by legs or moved by casters.

[0050] In some embodiments, the incubator body 1 further includes a water pump 502 bolted to one side of the incubator body 1;

[0051] The humidity feedback mechanism includes a placement frame 401 that is fixedly arranged through the inner wall of the incubator body 1 for placing a degreased wool felt compression block to provide feedback on the humidity inside the incubator body 1; the humidity feedback mechanism is also provided with an opening and closing structure, including a copper plate 409 arranged on one side of the placement frame 401 for controlling the opening and closing of the water pump 502 to replenish water; and also includes a transmission component.

[0052] A humidity replenishment mechanism is used to deliver water by turning on and off the water pump 502;

[0053] The humidity control structure includes an adjustment plate 601 that is rotatably connected through the ventilation openings at the upper and lower ends of the incubator body 1, for reducing the humidity inside the incubator body 1.

[0054] In this process, after the defatted wool felt compression block is placed in the placement frame 401, as the humidity of the culture medium in the material frame 3 increases, the moisture is absorbed by the wool felt through the vent. When the moisture content is low, the defatted wool felt compression block is in a compressed state. At this time, the placement frame 401 causes the trigger rod 404 to move to one side to control the water pump 502 to start and replenish the moisture of the culture medium in the material frame 3 inside the culture box body 1. When the humidity is high and the moisture content is large, the defatted wool felt compression block expands by absorbing the moisture, thereby opening the regulating plate 601 in the humidity regulating structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, the expansion state of the degreased wool felt compression block absorbs water vapor, thereby automatically replenishing water to increase humidity when the humidity is low, and automatically controlling the adjustment plate 601 to open for ventilation to reduce the humidity in the incubator body 1 when the humidity is high. When the humidity in the incubator body 1 is maintained at a suitable state, the water pump 502 and the adjustment plate 601 are in the initial state.

[0056] It should be noted that a top cover is bolted to the upper side of one end of the placement frame 401 for replacing the degreased wool felt compression block inside the placement frame 401. Several sets of ventilation holes are provided on the lower side of one end of the placement frame 401 to facilitate the rise of the humidity of the culture medium in the material frame 3. The water vapor is absorbed by the degreased wool felt compression block through the ventilation holes to provide feedback on the humidity status. The bottom of the placement frame 401 is slightly lower than the horizontal plane of the upper end of the material frame 3.

[0057] The placement frame 401 can hold degreased wool felt compression blocks or other similar materials, such as wood fiber composite expansion strips.

[0058] In some embodiments, the humidity feedback mechanism further includes: a push rod 402, which is slidably connected to the placement frame 401 and is used to provide feedback on the expansion force of the degreased wool felt compression block; a drive plate 403, which is fixedly arranged at one end of the push rod 402; and a compression spring 415, which is fixedly arranged at one end to the inner wall of the placement frame 401 and at the other end to one end of the push rod 402.

[0059] First, the mushroom substrate is spread evenly inside the substrate frame 3, and the height of the spread is level with the lower surface of the placement frame 401. When the moisture content of the substrate is low, the degreased wool felt compression block does not absorb enough moisture and is in a dry and shrinking state. The push rod 402 moves closer to the substrate frame 3 due to the rebound effect of the compression spring 415. At the same time, the push rod 402 drives the drive plate 403 to move.

[0060] In this embodiment, the expansion of the degreased wool felt compression block by absorbing water vapor and compressing the compression spring 415 is used to control the opening and closing of the water pump 502 and the ventilation state of the regulating plate 601.

[0061] It should be noted that a limit block is provided at one end of the push rod 402 that extends into the placement frame 401, which is used to limit the push rod 402 when it extends into the placement frame 401.

[0062] In some embodiments, the transmission components include: a trigger rod 404, which is slidably connected in a groove in a partition plate on one side of the incubator body 1, and the bottom of the trigger rod 404 is slidably connected in a limiting groove in a drive plate 403; a limiting rod 405, which is fixedly arranged on one side of the trigger rod 404 for limiting the trigger rod 404, and the limiting rod 405 is slidably connected through the partition plate on one side of the incubator body 1; a limiting spring 406, which is sleeved on the limiting rod 405, with one end connected to one side of the trigger rod 404 and the other end connected to the partition plate; and a transmission rod 407, one end of which is hinged to the upper end of the trigger rod 404 for driving the copper plate 409 to move.

[0063] When the drive plate 403 moves, it drives the trigger rod 404 to slide in the groove of the partition of the incubator body 1. The trigger rod 404 drives the limit rod 405 to slide on the partition and compress the limit spring 406. At the same time, the trigger rod 404 drives the transmission rod 407 to move.

[0064] In this embodiment, the feedback from the degreased wool felt compression block during contraction causes the transmission rod 407 to drive the copper plate 409 to energize and turn on the water pump 502 for water replenishment.

[0065] It should be noted that the shape of the middle part of the trigger rod 404 is cross-shaped, and the sliding groove of the partition on the incubator body 1 is cross-shaped to fit the trigger rod 404.

[0066] In some embodiments, the opening and closing structure further includes: a sliding block 408, slidably connected to a vertical groove on a partition on one side of the incubator body 1, for supporting a copper plate 409, and the copper plate 409 is fixedly arranged on one side of the sliding block 408; a copper rod 410, slidably connected to the sliding block 408 and the copper plate 409, for connecting the circuit, and the copper rod 410 is connected to the power terminal of the water pump 502 via an electric wire; a push plate 412, for driving the copper rod 410 to move, and the copper rod 410 is fixedly arranged at one end of the push plate 412; a limiting shell 413, fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the incubator body 1, for supporting the push plate 412, and the push plate 412 is slidably connected through one end of the limiting shell 413; and a return spring 414, one end of which is fixedly arranged on one side of the push plate 412, and the other end of which is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the limiting shell 413.

[0067] The movement of the transmission rod 407 causes the sliding block 408 to slide upward on the vertical groove of the partition on one side of the incubator body 1. The sliding block 408 causes the copper plate 409 to move upward. As the sliding block 408 moves, the copper rod 410 is attached to the copper plate 409 to connect the circuit, thereby controlling the water pump 502 to start. The return spring 414 rebounds and keeps the copper rod 410 on the push plate 412 always attached to the sliding block 408 and the copper plate 409.

[0068] In this embodiment, the adhesion state between the copper rod 410 and the copper plate 409 is controlled by the expansion state of the degreased wool felt compression block, thereby controlling the water pump 502 to turn on to replenish water and increase humidity when the humidity is low, and turning off the water pump 502 when the humidity is suitable or high.

[0069] It should be noted that an electrical wire is fixed to the copper plate 409, and the wire runs through the circuit connection between the incubator body 1 and the outside world.

[0070] Among them, one end of the sliding block 408 is T-shaped, and the vertical groove of the partition on one side of the incubator body 1 is T-shaped to fit the sliding block 408.

[0071] One end of the copper rod 410 is spherical to reduce the friction between the sliding block 408 and the surface of the copper plate 409.

[0072] In some embodiments, the humidity replenishment mechanism includes: a water tank 501, disposed on a partition on one side of the incubator body 1, for storing water, with the inlet end of the water pump 502 fixedly connected to the lower end of one side of the water tank 501; a water supply pipe 503, disposed through the incubator body 1, with one end sealed to the outlet end of the water pump 502 via a flange; an atomizing nozzle 504, fixedly disposed through the water supply pipe 503 extending into the incubator body 1, for spraying water for humidification; a water collection hopper 505, disposed at the bottom of the material frame 3 and fixed to the inner wall of the incubator body 1, for collecting excess water; and a drain pipe 506, connected to the water collection hopper 505 and disposed through one side of the incubator body 1, for draining water.

[0073] When the copper plate 409 contacts the copper rod 410, the water pump 502 is turned on. The water pump 502 transports the water in the water tank 501 to the water pipe 503, and then sprays it onto the mushroom cultivation material in the material frame 3 through the atomizing nozzle 504.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the humidity inside the incubator body 1 is low, the humidity inside the incubator body 1 can be increased by spraying water by turning on the water pump 502.

[0075] It should be noted that the water tank 501 is equipped with a water supply pipe, and the water supply pipe is bolted to a pipe cap for replenishing water into the water tank 501. The upper end of the water tank 501 is bolted to a cover plate for easy cleaning of the inside of the water tank 501. A transparent scale plate is also provided on one side of the water tank 501 for observing the water level in the water tank 501.

[0076] The atomizing nozzle 504 is provided in several groups, and each group is located above the material frame 3.

[0077] In some embodiments, the humidity regulating structure further includes: a spur gear 602, fixedly arranged at one end of the central shaft of the regulating plate 601, for driving the regulating plate 601 to rotate; a rack 603, meshed with the spur gear 602, for driving the spur gear 602 to rotate; a slide rod 604, slidably connected to a slide groove opened in the cavity of the incubator body 1, for driving the rack 603 to move, and the rack 603 is fixedly arranged on the slide rod 604; and a trigger rod 605, slidably connected through a slide groove opened in the partition of the incubator body 1, for driving the slide rod 604 to move, and the upper end of the trigger rod 605 is slidably connected in a limiting groove opened in the drive plate 403.

[0078] When the humidity inside the incubator body 1 is high, the defatted wool felt compression block expands, increasing its volume and generating a pushing force on the push rod 402. This force counteracts the rebound force of the compression spring 415, causing the push rod 402 to move the drive plate 403 away from the material frame 3. The drive plate 403 then causes the trigger rod 605 to slide on the groove opened on the partition of the incubator body 1, compressing the limit spring 406. The trigger rod 605 then causes the slide rod 604 to move. The slide rod 604, through the connecting rod, drives multiple sets of racks 603 to move. The racks 603, through meshing, drive the spur gear 602 to rotate. The spur gear 602 drives the adjusting plate 601 to rotate on the incubator body 1, thereby opening the adjusting plates 601 at both ends of the incubator body 1 to achieve ventilation and reduce the humidity of the culture medium and the environment. When the humidity is reduced to a suitable level, the defatted wool felt compression block reduces its expansion volume. At this time, the drive plate 403 moves in the opposite direction due to the rebound action of the compression spring 415. The reverse setting of the trigger rod 1 404 and trigger rod 2 605 on the drive plate 403 ensures that the water pump 502 and the adjusting plate 601 are in their initial state when the humidity inside the incubator body 1 is suitable.

[0079] In this embodiment, the expansion of the defatted wool felt compression block can open the adjustment plates 601 at both ends of the incubator body 1 for ventilation, and automatically close when the humidity decreases.

[0080] It should be noted that the rack 603 has several sets, all of which are connected as one unit by connecting rods, and the connecting rods are slidably connected to the incubator body 1.

[0081] One side of the trigger rod 605 is simultaneously provided with a set of limiting rods 405 and limiting springs 406, which are used to limit the trigger rod 605.

[0082] In other embodiments, the drive board 403 is provided with two sets of limiting grooves, and the trigger rod 404 and the trigger rod 605 are respectively located in one set of limiting grooves and are set in opposite states.

[0083] Among them, the shape of the middle part of the trigger rod 605 is cross-shaped, and the shape of the partition slide groove of the incubator body 1 is cross-shaped to fit the trigger rod 605.

[0084] The slide bar 604 is T-shaped, and the groove inside the cavity of the incubator body 1 is T-shaped to fit the slide bar 604.

[0085] Working principle or structural principle: The humidity of the culture medium in the material frame 3 is sensed through the ventilation holes. When the humidity of the culture medium is lower than the suitable range, the degreased wool felt compression block is in a dry and shrinking state, which reduces the squeezing force on the push rod 402. The compression spring 415 rebounds and pushes the push rod 402 to move towards the material frame 3, thereby driving the drive plate 403 to move synchronously. When the humidity of the culture medium is higher than the suitable range, the moisture-absorbing medium absorbs water vapor and expands, generating a thrust to counteract the elastic force of the compression spring 415, pushing the push rod 402 and the drive plate 403 to move away from the material frame 3.

[0086] When the drive plate 403 moves toward the material frame 3, its side limiting groove drives the trigger rod 404 to slide along the slide groove of the partition of the incubator body 1. The trigger rod 404 drives the limiting rod 405 to slide and compress the limiting spring 406. At the same time, the transmission rod 407 pushes the sliding block 408 to move upward along the vertical slide groove. The sliding block 408 drives the copper plate 409 to rise synchronously, so that the copper rod 410 and the copper plate 409 are in contact and connected to the circuit. The water pump 502 is started. The water pump 502 delivers the water in the water tank 501 to the atomizing nozzle 504 through the water pipe 503. The atomized water is evenly sprayed on the culture material of each group of material frames 3 to achieve humidity replenishment.

[0087] When the humidity of the culture medium rises to a suitable range, the deformation of the hygroscopic medium reaches equilibrium, the elastic force of the compression spring 415 and the thrust of the hygroscopic medium cancel each other out, the drive plate 403 stops moving, at this time the trigger rod 404 no longer pushes the transmission rod 407, the sliding block 408 and the copper plate 409 are reset, the copper rod 410 is disengaged from the copper plate 409, the circuit is disconnected, and the water pump 502 stops working; at the same time, the trigger rod 605 is not driven by the drive plate 403, the humidity regulation structure remains closed, and the humidity inside the incubator body 1 is stable within a suitable range;

[0088] When the humidity of the culture medium is higher than the suitable range, the hygroscopic medium continues to expand, pushing the drive plate 403 to move away from the material frame 3. The limiting groove on the other side of the drive plate 403 drives the trigger rod 605 to slide along the slide groove. The trigger rod 605 compresses the corresponding limiting spring 406 and pushes the slide rod 604 to move. The slide rod 604 drives multiple sets of racks 603 to move synchronously through the connecting rod. The racks 603 mesh with the drive gear 602 to rotate, which in turn drives the adjusting plate 601 in the ventilation openings at the upper and lower ends of the incubator body 1 to rotate and open. The outside air forms convection, penetrates the material layer and discharges excess water vapor. At the same time, the water accumulated at the bottom of the material frame 3 flows into the water collection hopper 505 through the through hole and is then discharged through the drain pipe 506, quickly reducing the humidity inside the box.

[0089] As ventilation and dehumidification occur and accumulated water is drained, the humidity of the culture medium gradually decreases. The hygroscopic medium contracts, and the compression spring 415 rebounds, pushing the drive plate 403 to move in the opposite direction. The trigger rod 605 resets, and the slide rod 604, rack 603, and spur gear 602 work together to close the adjustment plate 601. When the humidity drops below the suitable range, the drive plate 403 continues to move in the opposite direction, and the trigger rod 404 drives the relevant components to start the water pump 502 to replenish water, entering the next cycle.
