Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food cultivation, and in particular to a constant temperature and humidity cultivation box for edible fungi. Background Technology

[0002] Edible fungi are a type of large fungi that can be consumed by humans. They are not only delicious and nutritious, containing a variety of essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals, but also play an important role in promoting human health and enhancing immunity. They are also an important part of agriculture and the food industry. In the cultivation of some edible fungi, the soil and mycelium are usually wrapped in plastic bags with openings only at both ends to keep the soil moist.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220831123U, which discloses a constant temperature and humidity cultivation box for edible fungi. The box includes a main body, an internal structure, and a water supply mechanism. The internal structure is located inside the main body, and the water supply mechanism is located on the left side of the main body. The main body includes a cultivation box, a door, a handle, an observation window, an exhaust fan, and a control center. The internal structure includes a cultivation layer, partitions, supplemental lighting, a cultivation box, and a cultivation trough. The water supply mechanism includes a water pump, an external water pipe, a water delivery pipe, a spray pipe, a nozzle, and spray holes. This constant temperature and humidity cultivation box for edible fungi, by using supplemental lighting to adjust the light duration and intensity according to the needs of the edible fungi, provides suitable light for growth and improves cultivation efficiency. The water pump, water delivery pipe, spray pipe, and nozzle provide timely and even watering to ensure sufficient moisture for better growth.

[0004] While the aforementioned application documents can provide timely and even watering for edible fungi through water pumps, water pipes, spray pipes, and nozzles to ensure sufficient moisture, in actual use, when planting edible fungi wrapped in plastic bags, the soil in a single bag is often insufficient to sustain the growth of all the fungi to maturity after the mycelium has spread throughout the bag. Therefore, to ensure that the growing fungi can absorb sufficient nutrients, the bags are often only opened at both ends to inhibit the growth of fungi in a single bag and avoid the situation where excessive growth of fungi competes for nutrients, thus affecting the overall growth progress. Since the bags are only opened at both ends, each fungi can only absorb water at both ends. As a result, the contact area between the fungi at the edges and the air is often larger than that in the center, which may lead to different water absorption rates between the edge and center fungi. Therefore, a constant temperature and humidity cultivation box for edible fungi is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a constant temperature and humidity cultivation box for edible fungi, which aims to improve the problem of different water absorption rates of edible fungi in different locations in the prior art.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a constant temperature and humidity cultivation box for edible fungi, including a box body 1. The box body 1 is a constant temperature and humidity cultivation box for edible fungi, and multiple ventilation openings are provided on the side of the box body 1. A box door 2 is hinged to the front end of the box body 1. Supplementary lights 3 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1. The number of supplementary lights 3 is set to multiple, and the multiple supplementary lights 3 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the box body 1. A mushroom placement plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1. The upper end of the mushroom placement plate 4 has a groove of a size that fits the mushroom bag. The groove ensures that the mushroom bag is easier to place and that the mushroom bag is less likely to shift position during the use of the equipment, causing two adjacent mushroom bags to be too close or too far apart. The inner wall of the mushroom placement plate 4 in the middle of the groove has holes that communicate with the upper and lower ends.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7The interior of the box 1 is equipped with a water replenishment device 5, which includes a water replenishment tank 51. The water replenishment tank 51 is rectangular in shape, and its inner wall has a channel for water flow. The channel is formed by multiple vertical grooves connected to a horizontal groove. The shape of the channel ensures that the soil in each mushroom bag absorbs the same amount of water. The upper end of the water replenishment tank 51 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mushroom placement plate 4. The outer wall of the water replenishment tank 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1. A sliding strip 52 is slidably connected through the inner wall of the water replenishment tank 51. The depth of the horizontal part of the groove in the inner wall of the water replenishment tank 51 in the front-to-back direction is greater than the width of the sliding strip 52 in the front-to-back direction. Water flows through the water inside the water replenishment tank 51. The depth of the groove in the flat section is set to ensure that the grooves inside the water tank 51 are connected as a whole. There are two sliding bars 52. The ends of the two sliding bars 52 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the water receiving tank 53. The sliding bars 52 are located in the middle of the left and right ends of the water receiving tank 53. The bottom end of the water receiving tank 53 is fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe 54. The water outlet pipe 54 is equipped with a valve inside. The valve is an electric valve and is electrically connected to the power supply of the equipment through a wire. The bottom end of the water outlet pipe 54 is set as a pointed end, and an opening is set in the middle of the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 54. The opening of the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 54 is set at the pointed end. Because the opening of the water outlet pipe 54 is small, the water in the water outlet pipe 54 can only drip slowly downwards in the form of water droplets.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The water supply device 5 also includes an external water pipe 55, which is connected to an external tap water pipe. The water flowing into the external water pipe has a certain water pressure, ensuring that the water can move from bottom to top. This technology is existing technology and can be implemented by those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail in this case. The outer wall of the external water pipe 55 is through and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1. A water supply pipe 56 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1. The water supply pipe 56 is L-shaped. A water inlet pipe 57 is fixedly connected to the right side of the water supply pipe 56. The water inlet pipe 57 is C-shaped, and the corner of the water inlet pipe 57 is rounded. A water outlet pipe 58 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the water inlet pipe 57. 58 is vertically installed, and the length of the water outlet pipe 58 is longer than the movable distance of the water receiving tank 53. The lower end of the water inlet pipe 57 is equipped with an atomizing nozzle 59. The atomizing nozzle 59 enables the sprayed water to form a water mist, thereby achieving a humidification effect. The maximum water delivery capacity of the water supply pipe 56 is greater than the water inlet capacity of multiple water inlet pipes 57. The maximum water inlet capacity of a single water inlet pipe 57 is greater than the water flow of the water outlet pipe 58 and the water output of all atomizing nozzles 59 connected to that water inlet pipe 57. By comparing the water volume, it is ensured that the difference in water pressure between the upper and lower water inlet pipes 57 is small, thereby ensuring that there will be no error in the humidity of edible fungi due to water pressure.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 An opening and closing mechanism 6 is provided between the water supply pipe 56 and the external water pipe 55. The opening and closing mechanism 6 includes a valve body 61. The bottom end of the valve body 61 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The left end of the valve body 61 is fixedly connected to the right end of the water supply pipe 56. The right end of the valve body 61 is fixedly connected to the left end of the external water pipe 55. A valve stem 62 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the valve body 61. The valve stem 62 is cylindrical. A fixing block 63 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve body 61. The inner wall of the fixing block 63 is connected to the valve... The outer wall of the rod 62 is elastically connected by a torsion spring 64. One end of the torsion spring 64 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 63, and the other end of the torsion spring 64 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve stem 62. A valve disc 65 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve stem 62. The valve body 61, the valve stem 62 and the valve disc 65 together form a valve. The valve is existing technology, and those skilled in the art can achieve the effect of water flowing out when the valve is opened and water flowing out when the valve is closed. Therefore, it will not be described in detail in this case.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A control component 66 is provided at the bottom of the sliding bar 52 and the upper part of the valve stem 62. The control component 66 includes a control groove 661, which is shaped like a cylinder connected to a spiral groove. The spiral groove has one-quarter turns, ensuring that the valve stem 62 rotates a maximum of one-quarter turns. The control groove 661 is located at the upper end of the valve stem 62. A control ball 662 is provided inside the control groove 661. The diameter of the control ball 662 matches the width of the control groove 661. A control rod 663 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the control ball 662. A control plate 664 is fixedly connected to the top of the control lever 663. The outer wall of the control plate 664 contacts the inner wall of the housing 1. The positional relationship between the control plate 664 and the housing 1 is set to ensure that the edge of the control plate 664 can be controlled by the shape of the inner wall of the housing 1 during movement, thus ensuring that the control plate 664 is not easy to tip over. The top of the control plate 664 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding bar 52. The bottom of the control plate 664 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 by a spring 665. One end of the spring 665 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the control plate 664, and the other end of the spring 665 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0039] Working principle: When using the equipment, the staff first pokes a small hole in the middle of the bottom of the mushroom bag with a toothpick, needle or other similar object, then opens the door 2 and places the mushroom bag in the groove of the mushroom plate 4. After that, the staff closes the door 2 and turns on the power.

[0040] When the equipment is powered on, the water inside the receiving tank 53 slowly drips into the groove of the replenishment tank 51 from the opening at the bottom of the outlet pipe 54 under the action of gravity. Since the parts of the groove inside the replenishment tank 51 located in the vertical area below different bacterial bags are interconnected, it can be ensured that the water can enter the area below different bacterial bags at the same time.

[0041] After the water completely fills the area below the mushroom bag, the water then enters the groove of the water supply tank 51. The water then enters the interior of the mushroom plate 4 through the holes at the bottom. Since the bottom center of the mushroom bag has small holes, the water can be absorbed by the soil in the mushroom bag. Since most of the edible fungi in the mushroom bag grow at the front and back ends, the water is absorbed through the soil in the middle of the mushroom bag, which can provide a relatively equal supply to the edible fungi at the front and back ends.

[0042] When the water level in the water tank 53 is low, the spring 665, under the action of the rebound force, drives the control plate 664 to move upward, thereby causing the control plate 664 and the control rod 663 to generate an upward force. Therefore, at this time, the torsion spring 64 can drive the valve stem 62 to rotate under the action of torque, thereby connecting the external water pipe 55 and the water supply pipe 56 through the through groove inside the valve disc 65. Therefore, at this time, the water can enter the water inlet pipe 57 through the water supply pipe 56 under the action of water pressure, and flow into the water replenishment tank 51 at the water outlet pipe 58. At the same time, the remaining water increases the moisture content of the air inside the tank 1 through the atomizing nozzle 59.

[0043] When the water in the water tank 51 is added to the appropriate amount, the water moves downward under the action of gravity, causing the sliding bar 52 to move the control plate 664 downward, which in turn causes the control rod 663 to move downward and the control ball 662 to move downward. Since the control ball 662 is located in the spiral area of ​​the control groove 661, when the control ball 662 moves downward, the spiral part of the control groove 661, which is at the same height as the control ball 662, must be at the same horizontal position as the control ball 662. Therefore, the valve stem 62 rotates, which in turn causes the valve disc 65 to rotate, thus preventing the water inside the external water pipe 55 from entering the water supply pipe 56.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
