Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fungal culture technology, specifically a fungal culture device. Background Technology
[0002] Fungi are a general term for macrofungi that are edible. Specifically, they refer to macrofungi that form fruiting bodies or tissues with a gelatinous or fleshy texture and are edible or medicinal.
[0003] Currently, most fungal culture devices are simple sealed devices. The fungi to be cultured are placed inside the culture device and then sealed to achieve the cultivation of fungi.
[0004] However, existing methods of culturing fungi require placing the fungi to be cultured on multi-layered culture racks for uniform cultivation due to the large number of fungi being cultured. However, fungal cultivation has high requirements for environmental temperature, and existing culture devices are mostly sealed structures without air circulation. This results in different temperature environments for fungi at different layers, causing changes in the cultivation progress and making the overall practicality poor.
[0005] Therefore, a fungal culture device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and address the problems of existing equipment, this utility model proposes a fungal culture device.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a fungal culture device, including a culture box. The surface of the culture box is rotatably connected to a sealing door by a hinge. The inner cavity of the culture box is provided with a culture chamber, and the inner side of the culture chamber is provided with a ventilation structure.
[0008] The ventilation structure includes a culture tube disposed in the inner cavity of the culture chamber, and a ventilation cavity is provided on the bottom periphery of the culture tube. An air outlet is provided on the inner side wall of the culture tube. A fixing rod is provided in the inner cavity of the culture tube, and a culture rack is distributed on one side of the culture tube. A snap-fit ear is provided on the outer surface of the culture rack, and a first through hole is provided at the bottom of the culture rack.
[0009] Preferably, the incubator has an air inlet at the top front end, a connecting cavity at the inner side of the top end of the incubator, and an air outlet groove at the bottom of one end of the connecting cavity.
[0010] Preferably, the inner cavity of the communicating cavity is provided with a flow guide seat, and a flow guide groove is formed on one end surface of the flow guide seat. A filter frame is distributed on one side of the flow guide seat, and a filter element is provided in the inner cavity of the filter frame. A fan is distributed on the side of the filter frame away from the flow guide seat. The filter frame is provided to achieve air filtration.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the culture chamber is connected to an exhaust groove, and the inner cavity of the exhaust groove is provided with a one-way valve pipe, and the exhaust groove is used for the discharge of gas.
[0012] Preferably, a first air port is provided on the inner side of one end of the one-way valve tube, and a second air port is provided on the inner side of the end of the one-way valve tube away from the first air port. A retaining ring is provided on the inner side of the second air port. A return spring is connected to one end surface of the retaining ring, and a sealing plug is connected to the other end of the retaining ring. A second through hole is provided on the surface of the sealing plug. When the sealing plug moves, it can close the first air port. The deformation of the return spring facilitates the subsequent movement of the sealing plug.
[0013] Preferably, the culture rack is slidably connected to the fixing rod via the snap-fit ear, and the culture rack is equidistantly distributed on the inner side of the culture tube. The culture rack is used to place culture dishes for culturing bacteria.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This utility model, through its structure including culture tubes, ventilation chambers, air vents, and culture racks, facilitates effective air circulation within the culture tube. This ensures that the equidistantly distributed culture racks inside the culture tube can effectively circulate air, thereby guaranteeing that bacteria cultured on multiple culture racks are in the same temperature environment, improving the subsequent bacterial culture efficiency, and making it more practical overall.
[0016] 2. This utility model, through its one-way valve tube, return spring, and sealing plug, facilitates unidirectional airflow, preventing backflow of external air from disrupting the airflow inside the incubator and affecting normal bacterial culture. When air is discharged through the one-way valve tube, the sealing plug moves laterally under the action of the airflow, compressing the return spring and causing it to deform. Simultaneously, the sealing plug disengages from the first air hole, thus connecting the entire one-way valve tube and facilitating subsequent gas flow. After the airflow is complete, the deformation of the return spring resets the sealing plug, re-closing the one-way valve tube and preventing gas backflow. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a fungal culture device includes a culture box 1, a sealing door 2 that is rotatably connected to the surface of the culture box 1 via a hinge, a culture chamber 3 that is opened in the inner cavity of the culture box 1, and a ventilation structure that is provided on the inner side of the culture chamber 3.
[0026] The ventilation structure includes a culture cylinder 4 disposed in the inner cavity of the culture chamber 3, and a ventilation cavity 5 is provided on the bottom periphery of the culture cylinder 4. An air outlet 6 is provided on the inner side wall of the culture cylinder 4. A fixing rod 7 is provided in the inner cavity of the culture cylinder 4. A culture rack 8 is distributed on one side of the culture cylinder 4. The culture rack 8 is slidably connected to the fixing rod 7 through a snap-fit ear 9. The culture rack 8 is equidistantly distributed on the inner side of the culture cylinder 4. A snap-fit ear 9 is provided on the outer surface of the culture rack 8. A first through hole 10 is provided at the bottom of the culture rack 8.
[0027] During operation, culture dishes for culturing bacteria are placed on the upper surface of multiple culture racks 8. After the bacterial culture dishes are placed, the sealing door 2 is opened, and the culture racks 8 are engaged with the fixing rods 7 through multiple equally spaced locking ears 9 on their outer surfaces. This allows the entire culture rack 8 to be fed into the inside of the culture tube 4 for subsequent bacterial culture. During bacterial culture, the gas fed into the culture chamber 3 is fed into the inside of multiple ventilation chambers 5 at the bottom of the culture tube 4. The gas then circulates within the ventilation chambers 5 and is discharged through the air outlets 6, thus achieving gas circulation inside the culture tube 4 and realizing the purpose of ventilation. This ensures that the environment inside the culture tube 4 remains relatively constant, both at the top and bottom, allowing the cultured bacteria to be cultured in the same environment.
[0028] An air inlet 11 is provided at the top front end of the incubator 1, a connecting cavity 12 is provided on the inner side of the top end of the incubator 1, and an air outlet groove 13 is provided at the bottom of one end of the connecting cavity 12.
[0029] During operation, air enters the inner side of the connecting cavity 12 through the air inlet 11, and then undergoes filtration and purification in the connecting cavity 12. After the treatment is completed, the air is output through the air outlet 13.
[0030] The inner cavity of the connecting cavity 12 is provided with a flow guide seat 14, and a flow guide groove 15 is opened on one end surface of the flow guide seat 14. A filter frame 16 is distributed on one side of the flow guide seat 14, and a filter element 17 is provided in the inner cavity of the filter frame 16. The internal structure of the filter element 17 is made of activated carbon. A fan 18 is distributed on the side of the filter frame 16 away from the flow guide seat 14.
[0031] During operation, the fan 18 draws outside air into the inner side of the connecting cavity 12. When the air enters the inner side of the connecting cavity 12, it flows along the inclined surface of the guide seat 14. Since multiple guide grooves 15 are equally spaced on the inclined surface of the guide seat 14, the air can be partially diverted using the guide grooves 15. Then, under the action of the guide seat 14, the air passes through the filter frame 16. The holes on the surface of the filter frame 16 allow the air to enter the inner side of the filter frame 16 and further filter and purify the air by passing through the filter element 17 installed in the inner cavity of the filter frame 16.
[0032] The bottom of the culture chamber 3 is connected to an exhaust groove 19, and the inner cavity of the exhaust groove 19 is provided with a one-way valve pipe 20;
[0033] During operation, the gas to be output is fed into the inside of the exhaust trough 19 and then output through the one-way valve pipe 20 provided inside the exhaust trough 19. The one-way valve pipe 20 is provided to prevent backflow.
[0034] A first air port 21 is provided on the inner side of one end of the one-way valve tube 20, and a second air port 22 is provided on the inner side of the one end of the one-way valve tube 20 away from the first air port 21. A retaining ring 23 is provided on the inner side of the second air port 22. A return spring 24 is connected to one end of the surface of the retaining ring 23, and a sealing plug 25 is connected to the other end of the retaining ring 23. A second through hole 26 is provided on the surface of the sealing plug 25.
[0035] During operation, when air is input into the inner side of the exhaust groove 19, it enters the inner side of the one-way valve tube 20. Then, the air enters the inner side of the first air port 21 opened at one end of the one-way valve tube 20. At this time, under the action of gas flow, the sealing plug 25 is pushed laterally, thereby causing the sealing plug 25 to disengage from the first air port 21, realizing the connection between the first air port 21 and the second air port 22. When the two are connected, the gas is input into the inner side of the sealing plug 25 through the second through hole 26, and then discharged through the second air port 22, realizing the gas flow. After the gas flow is completed, the reverse force generated by the deformation of the return spring 24 will push the sealing plug 25 in the opposite direction, thereby causing the sealing plug 25 to re-close the first air port 21 to prevent the gas backflow.
[0036] Working principle: During operation, culture dishes for culturing bacteria are placed on the upper surface of multiple culture racks 8. After the bacterial culture dishes are placed, the sealing door 2 is opened, and the culture racks 8 are engaged with the fixing rods 7 through multiple equally spaced locking ears 9 on their outer surface. This allows the entire culture rack 8 to be inserted into the inner side of the culture cylinder 4 for subsequent bacterial culture. During bacterial culture, the fan 18 operates to draw outside air into the inner side of the connecting cavity 12. When the air enters the inner side of the connecting cavity 12, it flows along the inclined surface of the guide seat 14. Because the guide seat 14... Multiple guide channels 15 are evenly spaced on the inclined surface, so the guide channels 15 can be used to divert part of the air. Then, under the action of the guide seat 14, the air passes through the filter frame 16 of the facility. The holes on the surface of the filter frame 16 allow the air to enter the inside of the filter frame 16, and the filter element 17 set in the inner cavity of the filter frame 16 further filters and purifies the air. The treated air is input into the inside of the cultivation chamber 3, and then the gas is input into the inside of the multiple ventilation chambers 5 opened at the bottom of the cultivation cylinder 4. The gas is in the ventilation chambers 5. The air circulates through the vent 6, allowing gas to flow inside the culture tube 4 and facilitating ventilation. This maintains a relatively constant environment inside the culture tube 4, both at the top and bottom, ensuring that the bacteria can be cultured in the same environment. The air previously inside the culture tube 4 is then introduced into the exhaust trough 19. Upon entering the exhaust trough 19, the air flows into the one-way valve pipe 20, and then into the first vent 21 at one end of the one-way valve pipe 20. Under the action of gas flow, the sealing plug 25 will be pushed laterally, thereby causing the sealing plug 25 to disengage from the first air port 21, realizing the connection between the first air port 21 and the second air port 22. When the two are connected, gas is input into the inside of the sealing plug 25 through the second through hole 26, and then discharged through the second air port 22, realizing the flow of gas. When the gas flow is completed, the reverse force generated by the deformation of the return spring 24 will push the sealing plug 25 in the opposite direction, thereby causing the sealing plug 25 to re-close the first air port 21 to prevent the gas from flowing back.
