Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spore cultivation, and particularly relates to a portable budding spore collection device. Background Art

[0002] Cordyceps sinensis, also known as cordyceps, is a complex of the stroma of the fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis parasitizing on the larvae of insects in the family Hepialidae and the larval corpses;

[0003] At present, cordyceps is mainly divided into wild cordyceps and artificially cultivated cordyceps. During the artificial cultivation of cordyceps, when the cordyceps reaches the spore ejection stage, the asci of the cordyceps will eject spores, and these spores need to be collected for cultivation.

[0004] For example, the patent document with the publication number CN219087994U discloses a high-efficiency cordyceps spore collection device. Its collection of spores is mainly as follows: during the ejection stage, a protective liquid (generally sterile water, mainly used to keep the spores moist and prevent them from withering) is injected into the collection tank. After the spores are ejected, they fall into the protective liquid in the collection tank. Subsequently, as long as the valve is opened, the protective liquid together with the spores can be discharged.

[0005] However, in this solution, there are still deficiencies, mainly reflected in: generally, it is necessary to extend the ascus part of the cordyceps out of the growth tube to ensure that the asci eject the spores into the collection tank; the cordyceps is relatively short, so the growth tube will not be designed too long. In order to prevent the protective liquid in the collection tank from flowing back to the nutrient tank through the growth tube, the liquid level in the collection tank cannot exceed the top of the growth tube. As a result, the protective liquid in the collection tank is less, and the protective liquid will continuously volatilize, causing the protective liquid to become less and less. Once the protective liquid is gone, it will no longer be able to protect the spores. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously supplement the protective liquid into the collection tank. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] In order to solve at least one technical problem mentioned in the background art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a portable budding spore collection device.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A portable budding spore collection device, comprising a culture tank, a collection tank arranged above the culture tank, and a transparent cover body for covering the top of the collection tank. The collection tank includes a tank bottom plate. A pipe body is vertically penetrated through the tank bottom plate. The upper end of the pipe body extends upward from the tank bottom plate for a certain distance, and the lower end of the pipe body communicates with the culture tank. It is characterized in that it further includes a liquid supply mechanism. The liquid supply mechanism includes a liquid storage tank arranged at the bottom of the collection tank for storing a protective liquid, a water pump, and a spray pipe. A liquid return port communicating with the liquid storage tank is arranged on the tank bottom plate. The spray pipe is arranged in the collection tank. After the protective liquid in the liquid storage tank is pumped by the water pump to the spray pipe, it is sprayed from the spray pipe onto the tank bottom plate.

[0009] Preferably, it further includes a filtering component arranged between the liquid return port and the liquid storage tank for filtering the protective liquid flowing back into the liquid storage tank through the liquid return port.

[0010] Preferably, the filtering component includes a tube with openings at both ends and a filter screen arranged in the tube. The tube is vertically penetrated through the liquid return port and the lower end extends into the liquid storage tank.

[0011] Preferably, at least part of the filter screen is immersed below the liquid level of the protective liquid in the liquid storage tank.

[0012] Preferably, the tube is detachably installed in the liquid return port.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the tube is bent outward to form a skirt, and the tube is hung on the top surface of the tank bottom plate through the skirt.

[0014] Preferably, a concave step for embedding the skirt is arranged on the peripheral side of the upper end of the liquid return port, and the vertical depth of the concave step is greater than or equal to the thickness of the skirt.

[0015] Preferably, a handle is arranged on the tube.

[0016] Preferably, the top surface of the tank bottom plate is an inclined surface, and the inclined direction is gradually downward toward the side where the liquid return port is located.

[0017] Preferably, the spray pipe extends along the width direction of the collection tank, and a plurality of spray holes are sequentially arranged at the bottom of the spray pipe along the axial direction of the spray pipe, and the spray holes face the tank bottom plate.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of adopting this solution are as follows:

[0019] In this solution, a liquid return port is arranged on the tank bottom plate, and a liquid supply mechanism is set up. In this way, the protective liquid in the liquid storage tank can be continuously pumped to the spray pipe by a water pump, and then sprayed from the spray pipe onto the tank bottom plate. Thus, the protective liquid sprayed from the spray pipe will flow along the top surface of the tank bottom plate towards the liquid return port, and finally flow back into the liquid storage tank through the liquid return port. By repeating this cycle, there will always be protective liquid in the collection tank. Moreover, during this process, the spores ejected onto the tank bottom plate will be carried into the liquid storage tank by the protective liquid. In this way, it is not necessary for the operator to frequently add protective liquid to the collection tank, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the staff. Description of the Drawings

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model will be explained and described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. However, the following embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the embodiments, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] In the following description, terms such as "inner", "outer", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable budding spore collection device, which is mainly used for collecting the spores ejected by cordyceps. This device mainly includes a culture tank 1, a collection tank 2 arranged above the culture tank 1, and a transparent cover 3 for covering the top of the collection tank 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, the protective cover can be directly placed on the top of the collection tank 2 to prevent the spores of the cordyceps from ejecting out of the collection tank 2. It is made of a transparent material to facilitate observing the growth of the cordyceps inside.

[0030] The top of the culture tank 1 is open, and a culture medium for the growth of cordyceps is filled inside. The collection tank 2 is directly placed on the top of the culture tank 1.

[0031] In order to relatively position the culture tank 1 and the collection tank 2, in this embodiment, positioning members are provided on the bottom wall of the collection tank 2. For example, in this embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the collection tank 2 is of a rectangular structure, and the positioning members are two L-shaped positioning blocks 7. The two positioning blocks 7 are located on the diagonal of the collection tank 2 and are used to hold the top corners of the collection tank 2 to achieve the relative positioning of the culture tank 1 and the collection tank 2.

[0032] As Figure 5 shown, the collection tank 2 includes a tank bottom plate 21, that is, the bottom of the tank body is formed by the tank bottom plate 21; a pipe body 5 is vertically penetrated through the tank bottom plate 21. The upper end of the pipe body 5 extends upward from the tank bottom plate 21 for a certain distance, mainly to prevent the protective liquid from flowing back into the culture tank 1 from the upper end of the pipe body 5. The lower end of the pipe body 5 is communicated with the culture tank 1. The pipe body 5 is mainly for the cordyceps to pass through, that is, the cordyceps is threaded through the pipe body 5, and the worm body part of the cordyceps is implanted into the culture medium of the culture tank 1, and the ascus part of the cordyceps extends upward from the upper end of the pipe body 5.

[0033] In order to provide protection for the spores ejected by the cordyceps by the protective liquid in this embodiment, in this embodiment, a liquid supply mechanism is further included. The liquid supply mechanism includes a liquid storage tank 41 provided at the bottom of the collection tank 2 for storing the protective liquid, a water pump 42, and a spray pipe 43.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, a liquid return port 211 communicated with the liquid storage tank 41 is provided on the tank bottom plate 21. The top of the liquid storage tank 41 is open, and the top of the liquid storage tank 41 is fixed on the bottom wall of the tank bottom plate 21, and the vertical projection of the liquid return port 211 is within the vertical projection range of the top opening of the liquid storage tank 41.

[0035] The spray pipe 43 is provided inside the collection tank 2. Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the spray pipe 43 extends along the width direction of the collection tank 2, and a plurality of spray holes 431 are sequentially provided at the bottom of the spray pipe 43 along the axial direction of the spray pipe 43, and the spray holes 431 face the tank bottom plate 21; the water inlet end of the water pump 42 is communicated with the inner bottom of the liquid storage tank 41, and the water outlet end is communicated with the spray pipe 43 through a connecting pipe.

[0036] After the protective liquid in the liquid storage tank 41 is pumped out by the water pump 42 and transported through the connecting pipe to the spray pipe 43, it is sprayed from the spray pipe 43 onto the tank bottom plate 21. Then, the protective liquid sprayed from the spray pipe 43 will flow along the top surface of the tank bottom plate 21 towards the liquid return port 211, and finally flow back into the liquid storage tank 41 through the liquid return port 211. By repeating this cycle, there will always be protective liquid in the collection tank 2. Moreover, during this process, the spores ejected onto the tank bottom plate 21 will be carried into the liquid storage tank 41 by the protective liquid. In this way, it is not necessary for the operator to frequently add protective liquid to the collection tank 2, thus reducing the workload of the staff.

[0037] Among them, as Figure 3 shown, the top surface of the tank bottom plate 21 is an inclined surface, and the inclined direction is gradually downward towards the side where the liquid return port 211 is located. In this way, the protective liquid can flow along this inclined surface towards the liquid return port 211.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, a filtering component is further included. The filtering component is arranged between the liquid return port 211 and the liquid storage tank 41 and is used to filter the protective liquid flowing back into the liquid storage tank 41 through the liquid return port 211, that is, to filter out the spores in the protective liquid to prevent the water pump 42 from inputting the spores into the collection tank 2 again.

[0039] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the filtering component includes a tube 61 with both ends open, and a filter screen 62 arranged in the tube 61. The tube 61 is vertically penetrated in the liquid return port 211, and the lower end of the tube 61 extends into the liquid storage tank 41. In this way, the protective liquid in the collection tank 2 can flow downward along the tube 61. When flowing towards the filter screen 62, the spores are intercepted by the filter screen 62, realizing the filtering of the spores.

[0040] Among them, preferably, the filter screen 62 is at least immersed below the liquid level of the protective liquid in the liquid storage tank 41. The significance of this setting is that there will be a section of protective liquid above the filter screen 62. In this way, the spores entering the tube 61 can be immersed in this section of protective liquid, so as to protect the spores with this section of protective liquid.

[0041] In order to facilitate the subsequent extraction of spores, in this embodiment, the tube 61 is detachably installed in the liquid return port 211. Specifically, the top of the tube 61 is bent outward to form a skirt 611, and the tube 61 is hung on the top surface of the tank bottom plate 21 through the skirt 611.

[0042] In this way, when the spores need to be extracted subsequently, only the entire tube 61 needs to be pulled out upward. After pulling out the tube 61 upward, the spores will remain on the filter screen 62 for subsequent extraction.

[0043] In addition, to facilitate the extraction of the tube 61, in this embodiment, a handle 63 is fixedly connected to the tube 61, so that the tube 61 can be pulled out upward as long as the handle 63 is lifted upward.

[0044] In addition, a concave step 212 for embedding the skirt 611 is provided on the circumferential side of the upper end of the liquid return port 211, and the vertical depth of the concave step 212 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the skirt 611, so that after the skirt part is placed in the concave step 212, the skirt part will not protrude from the top surface of the groove bottom plate 21, so as to ensure that the protective liquid in the collection tank 2 can flow more smoothly to the upper end of the tube 61.

[0045] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, it is intended to embrace all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present invention.
