Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of edible fungi cultivation devices, specifically to a humidification device for edible fungi cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Edible mushroom cultivation plays an important role in modern agriculture. It is usually carried out on shelves, with mushroom bags placed off one side of the shelf. Using suitable culture media and environmental conditions, edible fungi are cultivated. Environmental humidity is a key factor in the growth of edible mushrooms; to ensure their normal growth, the cultivation environment needs to be regularly humidified by spraying water.

[0003] Traditional humidification devices for edible mushroom cultivation have several shortcomings. During humidification, the coverage area of ​​a single spray is limited. Due to the distribution of mushroom bags on shelves, traditional devices often only humidify small, localized areas. This necessitates multiple spraying operations to achieve suitable humidity across the entire cultivation area. Furthermore, this method easily leads to uneven spraying, with some areas potentially over-humidified while others remain insufficiently humidified, which is detrimental to the stable growth of edible mushrooms, impacting yield and quality.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 A humidification device for edible fungi cultivation includes a support beam 1 fixedly mounted on the ceiling of the cultivation room. A movable base 2 is slidably mounted on the support beam 1. Slide rails 14 are provided on both sides of the support beam 1. The movable base 2 is slidably mounted between the two slide rails 14. A drive mechanism for driving the movable base 2 to move horizontally is provided inside the support beam 1. A crossbeam 3 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the movable base 2. Adjustment plates 4 are inserted and connected to both ends of the crossbeam 3. A U-shaped frame 5 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the adjustment plate 4. Multiple vertically arranged atomizing nozzles 6 are fixedly mounted inside the U-shaped frame 5. A multi-port connector 7 is fixedly mounted on the side of the U-shaped frame 5. The water inlet end of each atomizing nozzle 6 is connected to the multi-port connector 7 through a pipe. The other end of the multi-port connector 7 is connected to an external water pump through a hose. A valve 13 is provided at the water inlet end of each atomizing nozzle 6.

[0027] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, the driving mechanism includes a rack 8 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the support beam 1, and a motor 9 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the movable base 2. The drive shaft of the motor 9 is fixedly provided with a gear 10, which meshes with the rack 8.

[0028] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, a limiting mechanism is provided between the two ends of the crossbeam 3 and the adjusting plate 4. The limiting mechanism includes a threaded hole 11 on the bottom surface of the adjusting plate 4, and also includes a bolt 12 threadedly connected to the bottom surface of the crossbeam 3. The bolt 12 is adapted to the threaded hole 11.

[0029] The working principle of this edible mushroom cultivation humidification device is as follows: The drive mechanism of this device is used to realize the horizontal movement of the movable base 2 on the support beam 1. The motor 9 starts, and its drive shaft drives the gear 10 to rotate. Since the gear 10 meshes with the rack 8 fixed at the upper end of the support beam 1, the rotation of the gear 10 is converted into the horizontal movement of the movable base 2 along the slide rails 14 on both sides of the support beam 1. The two ends of the crossbeam 3 at the bottom of the movable base 2 are connected to the adjusting plate 4. The position of the adjusting plate 4 can be adjusted by the limiting mechanism to adjust the distance between the two sets of atomizing nozzles to adapt to the aisle distance between adjacent shelves. In the limiting mechanism, the bolt 12 on the bottom surface of the rotating crossbeam 3 is made to cooperate with the threaded hole 11 on the bottom surface of the adjusting plate 4 to fix the adjusting plate 4. The U-shaped frame 5 fixed at the bottom of the adjusting plate 4 is provided with multiple vertically arranged atomizing nozzles 6. The water inlet end of the atomizing nozzle 6 is provided with a valve 13. The water inlet end is connected to the multi-way connector 7 through a pipe. The other end of the multi-way connector 7 is connected to an external water pump through a hose. The water pump delivers water to the multi-port connector 7, which in turn supplies water to the atomizing nozzle 6. When the movable base 2 moves, the nozzle 6 moves accordingly and sprays water, achieving large-area and uniform humidification.

[0030] The working process of this edible mushroom cultivation humidification device is as follows:

[0031] 1. Installation and Adjustment: Fix the support beam 1 to the ceiling of the cultivation room, ensuring that the slide rails 14 on both sides are securely installed and parallel. The movable base 2 is installed on the slide rails 14, and a motor 9 is installed at the upper end of the movable base 2. The gear 10 on the drive shaft of the motor 9 meshes with the rack 8 at the upper end of the support beam 1. A crossbeam 3 is installed at the bottom of the movable base 2, and adjusting plates 4 are inserted at both ends of the crossbeam 3. Adjusting the position of the adjusting plate 4 according to the position of the cultivation shelf and the layout of the mushroom bags, by rotating the bolts 12 to mate with the threaded holes 11 on the bottom surface of the adjusting plate 4, ensures that the U-shaped frame 5 is at a suitable distance, guaranteeing that the atomizing nozzles 6 can effectively cover the mushroom bags. A multi-port connector 7 is fixed to the side of the U-shaped frame 5. The water inlet of the atomizing nozzle 6 is connected to the multi-port connector 7 via a pipe, and the multi-port connector 7 is connected to an external water pump via a hose.

[0032] 2. Humidification Operation: Turn on the external water pump. Water enters the multi-port connector 7 through the hose and then flows to each atomizing nozzle 6. Start the motor 9, which drives the gear 10 to rotate, causing the movable base 2 to move horizontally along the slide rail 14 on the support beam 1. During the movement, the atomizing nozzles 6 continuously spray water to humidify the mushroom bags on both sides of the shelves. Due to the movement of the movable base 2, the nozzles 6 can cover a large area, achieving relatively uniform humidification of the entire cultivation area. Depending on the actual vertical distribution of the mushroom bags, the operation or shutdown of the atomizing nozzles 6 is controlled by adjusting the valve 13 to avoid waste.

[0033] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
