Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a water replenishing and ventilation device for shiitake mushroom sticks, belonging to the technical field of edible fungus processing. Background Art

[0002] Currently, after mushroom sticks are harvested, their weight decreases significantly and they become severely dehydrated. This inhibits the recovery of mycelial growth and the formation of fruiting bodies, necessitating timely water and oxygen replenishment. Failure to promptly replenish water and oxygen can lead to low water content, insufficient oxygen levels, excessive water loss, and death of mycelial growth. Ultimately, infection by other bacteria can cause the sticks to rot and fall apart. Various methods exist for replenishing water and air in mushroom sticks, with water injection and soaking being the most common methods in production. The soaking method involves piercing the sticks with iron nails, placing them in a pool of water (drum, trench), and soaking them until the required water content is reached. This traditional method ensures uniform and thorough immersion, rapid water absorption, and concentrated fruiting, but it is labor-intensive and can be prone to breakage or disintegration. The water injection method, which uses a dedicated water injection needle, requires manual watering of each individual stick, resulting in significant water waste. Furthermore, water injection with the needle can lead to uneven water distribution, resulting in insufficient water in dense areas of mycelium, which can affect mushroom growth.

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned defects, the designer actively carried out research and innovation in order to create a shiitake mushroom stick water replenishment and ventilation device to make it more valuable for industrial use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a shiitake mushroom stick water replenishing and ventilation device.

[0005] The utility model discloses a shiitake mushroom stick water replenishing and ventilation device, comprising a water replenishing and ventilation mechanism, wherein the bottom of the water replenishing and ventilation mechanism is connected to a negative pressure generating mechanism, and a water and air inlet mechanism is detachably provided on the top of the water replenishing and ventilation mechanism, wherein the water and air inlet mechanism comprises a water storage tank and an air storage tank, wherein the water storage tank and the air storage tank are respectively connected to a power pump through a water pipe and a ventilation pipe, and the water and oxygen in the water storage tank and the air storage tank are pumped and transported by the power pump, and the top ends of the water pipe and the ventilation pipe are connected to an inlet hose through a three-way connector, and the other end of the inlet hose is provided with an atomizing hood.

[0006] Furthermore, the atomizing hood is a cylindrical structure with an open bottom, and the bottom of the atomizing hood is connected to the top of the water replenishment and ventilation mechanism. The atomizing hood atomizes the water and oxygen introduced into small particles that are easier to absorb and replenish, thereby improving the water replenishment and ventilation effect.

[0007] Furthermore, a water flow control valve is provided on the water flow pipe to control the water flow rate at different time periods and improve the water flow effect.

[0008] Furthermore, the ventilation pipe is provided with an air volume control valve for controlling the ventilation volume at different time periods to improve the ventilation effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the water replenishment and ventilation mechanism includes a water replenishment and ventilation chamber of a rectangular box structure, a water vapor inlet is provided on the top of the water replenishment and ventilation chamber, and the water vapor inlet is connected to the bottom surface of the atomizing hood. Water and oxygen are introduced into the water replenishment and ventilation chamber for water replenishment and ventilation;

[0010] Furthermore, a storage net is provided horizontally inside the water replenishment and ventilation bin for placing the mushroom sticks to be processed, so as to facilitate full contact of water and oxygen with the mushroom sticks and improve the water replenishment and ventilation effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the negative pressure generating mechanism includes a vacuum generating device, the upper surface of which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the water replenishment and ventilation chamber via a fixed bracket, and the top surface of which is connected to the interior of the water replenishment and ventilation chamber via a negative pressure generating tube. The vacuum generating device and the negative pressure generating tube evacuate the interior of the water replenishment and ventilation chamber, creating a negative pressure state inside the chamber, thereby causing most of the air in the mushroom sticks and the cavity to be extracted, causing the mushroom sticks to deform and shrink. When normal pressure is restored, the mushroom sticks return to their original shape, while simultaneously drawing in water and oxygen. This shortens the water replenishment and ventilation time, is highly efficient, and can fully and evenly inject water and replenish oxygen, promoting better growth of shiitake mushrooms.

[0012] By means of the above solution, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0013] The utility model discloses a shiitake mushroom stick water replenishing and ventilation device that atomizes the introduced water and oxygen into the form of small particles that are easier to absorb and replenish through an atomizing cover, and simultaneously utilizes a vacuum generating device and a negative pressure generating pipe to evacuate the interior of the water replenishing and ventilation bin, so that the interior is in a negative pressure state, thereby prompting most of the air in the mushroom sticks and the cavity to be sucked out, causing the mushroom sticks to deform and shrink, and when normal pressure is restored, the mushroom sticks return to their original shape, while water and oxygen are sucked in at the same time. The water replenishing and ventilation time is short and the efficiency is high, and water and oxygen can be fully and evenly injected and replenished, thereby promoting better growth of the shiitake mushrooms.

[0028] The atomizing hood 25 is a cylindrical structure with an open bottom. The bottom of the atomizing hood 25 is connected to the top of the water replenishment and ventilation mechanism 1.

[0031] The water replenishment and ventilation mechanism 1 includes a water replenishment and ventilation chamber 11 of a rectangular box-shaped structure, and a water vapor inlet 12 is provided on the top of the water replenishment and ventilation chamber 11. The water vapor inlet 12 is connected to the bottom surface of the atomizing cover 25, and is used for water and oxygen to enter the water replenishment and ventilation chamber 11 for water replenishment and ventilation.

[0032] A storage net 13 is horizontally arranged inside the water replenishment and ventilation bin 11 for placing the mushroom sticks to be processed, so as to facilitate full contact between water and oxygen and the mushroom sticks and improve the water replenishment and ventilation effect.

The water replenishment and ventilation time is short and the efficiency is high. Water can be fully and evenly injected and oxygen can be replenished, thereby promoting better growth of the shiitake mushrooms.
