A discharge port 6 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body 4. A valve is arranged at the discharge port 6. A rotating shaft 11 penetrates through the axis position at the top of the tank body 4. The rotating shaft 11 is driven to rotate by a driving motor 13 arranged above the tank body 4. A plurality of stirring rods 12 are arranged on the rotating shaft 11. An exhaust port 8 and a pressure monitoring component 7 are also arranged at the top of the tank body 4. A solenoid valve 9 is arranged at the exhaust port 8. The pressure monitoring component 7 includes a cylinder body 7-1. The top of the cylinder body 7-1 is sealed. The bottom of the cylinder body 7-1 is communicated with the inside of the tank body 4. A plurality of guide rods 7-3 are arranged in the cylinder body 7-1. A floating plate 7-2 is slidably arranged on the guide rods 7-3. A rubber sheet that fits the inner wall of the cylinder body 7-1 is arranged on the side wall of the floating plate 7-2. A tension spring 7-4 that applies a downward thrust to the floating plate 7-2 is sleeved on the guide rod 7-3. A lead screw 7-6 penetrates through and is screwed on the top of the cylinder body 7-1. A contact switch 7-7 for the solenoid valve 9 is arranged at the bottom end of the lead screw 7-6. A through hole 7-5 is also arranged above the side wall of the cylinder body 7-1. The driving motor 13, the solenoid valve 9, and the contact switch 7-7 are all electrically connected to a controller 21 arranged on the chassis 1.

[0018] To facilitate the monitoring of the fermentation temperature of edible mushrooms, a temperature sensor 17 is arranged at the inner bottom of the above-mentioned tank body 4. A sandwich layer 4-1 is arranged on the side wall of the tank body 4. An inlet 4-3 and an outlet 4-2 that are communicated with the sandwich layer 4-1 are arranged on the side wall of the tank body 4. A water tank 15 is also arranged on the chassis 1. A heater 16 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 15. A circulation pump 18 is arranged outside the water tank 15. The inlet of the circulation pump 18 is communicated with the inside of the water tank 15. The outlet of the circulation pump 18 is connected to the inlet 4-3. The outlet 4-2 is communicated with the top of the water tank 15 through a return pipe 19. The temperature sensor 17, the circulation pump 18, and the heater 16 are all electrically connected to the controller 21.

[0019] To facilitate the heat preservation treatment of the inside of the tank body 4, heat preservation cotton 20 is also laid on the outer wall of the tank body 4.

[0022] The specific working principle of the utility model is as follows: First, pour the liquid culture medium containing edible fungi into the tank body 4 from the feed inlet. The filter screen filters the liquid culture medium to remove impurities therein. The temperature sensor 17 monitors the internal temperature of the tank body 4 in real time and transmits the temperature data to the controller 21. The staff sets the fermentation temperature threshold according to needs. The temperature sensor 17 transmits the temperature value to the controller 21 in real time. When the temperature is lower than the lowest value of the temperature threshold, the controller 21 starts the circulation pump 18 and the heater 16 to raise the temperature inside the tank body 4. When the temperature reaches the highest value of the set temperature threshold, the controller 21 turns off the heater 16 and the circulation pump 18.

[0023] When the air pressure inside the tank body 4 pushes the floating plate 7-2 upward to contact the contact switch 7-7, the controller 21 opens the solenoid valve 9 for 10-15 seconds to release the air inside the tank body 4, and at the same time starts the drive motor 13 to work for 10-15 seconds to stir the liquid inside the tank body 4 to improve the fermentation efficiency of the edible fungi.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model and not to limit them; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: the specific implementation manners of the utility model can still be modified or some technical features can be equivalently replaced; without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the utility model, they should all be covered by the scope of the technical solutions claimed by the utility model.
