Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of soil-covered cultivation of edible fungi, and in particular to a container for tiered soil-covered cultivation of edible fungi. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the industrialized cultivation of edible fungi is relatively mature, covering multiple varieties such as enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and button mushrooms. Most of these are wood-rotting fungi, and they are generally cultivated using bottle cultivation. In contrast, button mushrooms are cultivated using soil covering, primarily in bed cultivation. Therefore, existing porous cultivation baskets are mainly tailored for wood-rotting fungi cultivation. Their characteristics include sparse bottom ribs, limited load-bearing capacity, and drawbacks such as easy deformation, high cost, and inconvenience in movement. Furthermore, the sides of the baskets are usually a one-piece molded structure, which not only hinders water injection but also, due to the lack of a sealing layer, allows mushrooms to easily grow from the sides when cultivating soil-covered edible fungi, leading to significant nutrient waste. Additionally, these porous cultivation baskets are relatively low in height.

[0003] In recent years, with the continuous development of modern agricultural technology, some rare edible fungi cultivated using soil covering have gradually transitioned to a more efficient and centralized modern agricultural model. They are now being produced centrally using spawn bags and cultivated in small-scale, factory-like environments. In practice, when workers need to manually move these porous cultivation baskets used for soil covering of edible fungi, the weight and volume of the baskets often consume a great deal of physical strength. This not only increases the labor intensity of the workers but may also lead to wasted time, thereby reducing overall work efficiency.

[0004] In summary, existing porous cultivation baskets are mainly designed for the cultivation of wood-rotting fungi and are not suitable for the cultivation of other types of mushrooms. They also have disadvantages such as sparse bottom ribs, limited load-bearing capacity, easy deformation, high cost, and inconvenience in moving. Therefore, how to overcome these disadvantages has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] This utility model provides a container for shelf-type soil-covered cultivation of edible fungi, the implementation of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the structure includes a main frame 10, a porous cultivation basket 20, and a cover plate 30. The main frame 10 includes a bottom frame 11, a top frame 12, and multiple connecting rods 13 connecting the bottom frame 11 and the top frame 12. Specifically, the connecting rods 13 are screws. A water receiving tray 14 is provided on the bottom frame 11. A water spraying mechanism 15 is provided on the top frame 12. The multiple connecting rods 13 pass through multiple first vertical hollow frame edges 21 of the porous cultivation basket 20. The porous cultivation basket 20 and the main frame 10 are connected by a sliding connection that can be locked in relative position. A temperature control pipe 22 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the porous cultivation basket 20. The cover plate 30 covers the top frame 12 and is a non-transparent plastic plate.

[0034] In use, the user needs to fill the porous cultivation basket 20 with the soil required for cultivation, dig a suitable planting pit on the soil surface, place the plant or seed to be cultivated in the pit, and then cover it with backfill soil. Afterwards, place the porous cultivation basket 20 inside the main frame 10, connect the power supply, and activate the temperature control pipe 22 located around the cultivation basket to ensure it operates and maintains the environment within the suitable temperature range required for crop growth. Connect the water spray mechanism 15 to an external water pump, and connect the drain hole 141 of the water tray 14 to the sewer pipe. Irrigation according to the set cycle completes the plant cultivation process. Covering with the cover plate 30 effectively reduces water evaporation and optimizes the humidity conditions of the cultivation environment.

[0035] The aforementioned porous cultivation basket 20 is made of food-grade PP material that is resistant to high temperature and corrosion. It measures 50cm×40cm×30cm and has multiple 3cm×1cm holes around its perimeter. The vertical spacing between adjacent holes is 3cm and the horizontal spacing is 1cm, which ensures both the aeration of the culture medium and prevents leakage.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, each of the multiple first vertical hollow frame frames 21 is provided with a first locking knob 16. The rotation axis of the first locking knob 16 is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting rod 13. Tightening the first locking knob 16 is used to fix the relative position between the porous cultivation basket 20 and the connecting rod 13.

[0037] When applying the product, first loosen the first locking knob 16, and then control the porous cultivation basket 20 to move up and down to the desired position. After the porous cultivation basket 20 is in place, tighten the first locking knob 16 to fix the installation position of the porous cultivation basket 20.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the top frame 12 and the multiple connecting rods 13 are configured to be a sliding connection whose relative positions can be locked.

[0039] With this setting, the distance between the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 can be adjusted at will to meet the usage needs in different situations.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the top frame 12 and the multiple connecting rods 13 are detachably connected, and the space between the top frame 12 and the bottom frame 11 can be used to stack at least two porous cultivation baskets 20.

[0041] After adopting this setting method, if it is necessary to stack multiple porous cultivation baskets 20, simply remove the top frame 12 first, then use multiple connecting rods 13 to pass through the first vertical hollow frame 21 of multiple porous cultivation baskets 20 respectively, and finally reinstall the top frame 12, so that multiple porous cultivation baskets 20 can be stacked.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple connecting rods 13 pass through multiple second vertical hollow frame frames 17 of the top frame 12. Each of the multiple second vertical hollow frame frames 17 is provided with a second locking knob 18. The rotation axis of the second locking knob 18 is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting rod 13. Tightening the second locking knob 18 is used to fix the relative position between the top frame 12 and the connecting rod 13.

[0043] When applying the product, first loosen the second locking knob 18, then control the top frame 12 to move up and down to the desired position; after the top frame 12 is in place, tighten the second locking knob 18 to fix the installation position of the top frame 12.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the water receiving tray 14 is provided with a drain hole 141, the drain hole 141 is connected to a drain pipe 40, and a filter screen is provided inside the drain hole 141.

[0045] With this setup, a filter screen can be used to prevent soil and other contaminants from being discharged directly and causing blockage in the drain pipe 40.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the drain pipe 40 is provided with a drain outlet 41 and a pipe outlet 42 connected in parallel. The pipe outlet 42 is connected to a telescopic hose 43, which is connected to the water spraying mechanism 15. The telescopic hose 43 is provided with a water supply hose for connecting to a water pump, and the water supply hose is connected to the water spraying mechanism 15.

[0047] With this configuration, even if the top frame 12 moves up and down, the telescopic hose 43 can also extend and retract accordingly, thus not affecting the normal use of the water spray mechanism 15.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the container also includes a movable base 50, with a main frame 10 on top of the movable base 50 and multiple casters 51 below the movable base 50.

[0049] After adopting the above setup, if it is necessary to manually transfer the edible fungi cultivated with soil covering, simply use the movable base 50 to move them.

[0050] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
