Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irrigation technology for edible fungi cultivation, and in particular to an intelligent irrigation device for edible fungi cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] As an important component of modern agriculture, the industrialized cultivation of edible fungi directly impacts the rate of mycelial development and the quality of the fungi through its environmental control technology. During the cultivation process, substrate moisture content and relative humidity are key parameters determining the metabolic efficiency of the mycelium and its resistance to contaminating microorganisms. Therefore, irrigation systems are used to supply water to the fungi during cultivation.
[0003] For example, a water-saving irrigation device disclosed in existing patent CN202323645972.X is applicable to both vertical and horizontal planting modes. However, once the spraying mode is adjusted, the spraying pipes in the device remain fixed, making it difficult to achieve a more uniform irrigation effect on the mushroom logs. This affects the yield and quality of edible fungi. Furthermore, the water tank lacks an effective level warning structure, which fails to provide an effective warning to workers when the water level is low, making it difficult to replenish the water tank in a timely manner. Utility Model Content
[0004] This disclosure relates to an intelligent irrigation device for edible fungi cultivation. Through the reciprocating drive component, the device can move the spray pipes back and forth during spraying, thus improving the uniformity of water spraying and providing a more even irrigation effect for the mushroom logs, preventing any impact on the yield and quality of the edible fungi. The liquid level monitoring mechanism activates a pressure switch when the bottom of the floating block is 20-25 cm from the bottom of the water tank. This triggers an audible and visual alarm, providing an effective warning to workers and allowing them to replenish the water tank promptly, thus enhancing the intelligence level of the irrigation device.
[0005] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides an intelligent irrigation device for edible fungi cultivation, specifically comprising: a movable base, on which a water storage tank is fixedly mounted; a horizontal support plate is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the water storage tank, and a rotating component is provided on the front side of the upper surface of the horizontal support plate; a spray pipe is provided on the front side of the rotating component, and a driving column is fixedly connected to the rear end of the spray pipe; a reciprocating drive component is provided on the rear side of the rotating component; a rotating drive mechanism is installed on the rear side of the upper surface of the horizontal support plate; a liquid level monitoring mechanism is provided on the water storage tank; the reciprocating drive component includes a drive motor, a drive disk, and a connecting rod, the drive motor is located on the rear side of the rotating component, and a drive disk is fixedly mounted on the shaft of the drive motor; a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the edge of the rear end face of the drive disk via a shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the rear end of the driving column via a shaft.

Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0032] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 :
[0033] This utility model proposes an intelligent irrigation device for edible fungi cultivation, comprising: a movable base 1, with a water storage tank 2 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the movable base 1; a horizontal support plate 207 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the water storage tank 2, and a rotating component 3 arranged on the front side of the upper surface of the horizontal support plate 207, a spray pipe 4 arranged on the front side of the rotating component 3, and a driving column 401 fixedly connected to the rear side of the spray pipe 4; a reciprocating drive component 5 arranged on the rear side of the rotating component 3; a rotating drive mechanism 6 installed on the rear side of the upper surface of the horizontal support plate 207; and a liquid level monitoring mechanism 7 arranged on the water storage tank 2; The reciprocating drive assembly 5 includes a drive motor 501, a drive disc 502, and a connecting rod 503. The drive motor 501 is located on the rear side of the rotating assembly 3, and the drive disc 502 is fixedly mounted on the shaft of the drive motor 501. The connecting rod 503 is rotatably connected to the rear edge of the rear end face of the drive disc 502 through the shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod 503 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the drive column 401 through the shaft. By setting up the reciprocating drive assembly 5, the spray pipe 4 can be moved back and forth, thus improving the uniformity of the spray pipe 4 when spraying water, thereby bringing a more uniform irrigation effect to the mushroom stick.
[0034] A smart controller 201 is installed on the rear end of the water storage tank 2, and an audible and visual alarm 202 is installed on the top of the smart controller 201; a push switch 203 is installed on the top of the water storage tank 2 to control the opening and closing of the audible and visual alarm 202.
[0035] A water suction pipe 204 is connected to the water outlet on the rear side of the water storage tank 2, and the other end of the water suction pipe 204 is connected to the water suction port of the water pump 205. The water pump 205 is installed on the upper surface of the horizontal support plate 207, and a water delivery hose 206 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 205. The other end of the water delivery hose 206 is connected to the water inlet of the spray pipe 4.
[0036] The rotating assembly 3 includes a rotating plate 301, a horizontal rotating shaft 302, a gear 303, and a rectangular opening 304. The horizontal rotating shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rotating plate 301, and the horizontal rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected to the upper end face of the horizontal support plate 207. The gear 303 is fixedly installed at the right end of the horizontal rotating shaft 302. A rectangular opening 304 and two T-shaped grooves are opened on the front end face of the rotating plate 301, which drives the column 401 to pass through the rectangular opening 304. Through the setting of the rotating assembly 3, the spray pipe 4 can be adjusted to a horizontal or vertical state, so as to be suitable for both vertical planting and ground planting of edible fungi.
[0037] The rear end face of the spray pipe fitting 4 is symmetrically provided with two T-shaped sliding strips, and the two T-shaped sliding strips are slidably connected to two T-shaped sliding grooves respectively, so that the spray pipe fitting 4 can be effectively guided when it moves back and forth.
[0038] The rotary drive mechanism 6 includes an electric cylinder 601, a drive plate 602, a rack 603, transverse guide rods 604, and guide sleeves 605. The electric cylinder 601 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the horizontal support plate 207, and the front end of the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder 601 is fixedly connected to the drive plate 602.

The rack 603 meshes with the gear 303. When the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder 601 extends forward to its limit position, the rack 603 drives the gear 303 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise. At this time, the spray pipe 4 is in a horizontal state, and the nozzle on the spray pipe 4 is facing downward. The rotary drive mechanism 6 is used to drive the rotary assembly 3 to rotate.
[0039] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the liquid level monitoring mechanism 7 includes a lifting plate 701, a float block 702, vertical guide rods 703, connecting rods 704, and a counterweight pressing block 705. The float block 702 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the lifting plate 701, and a vertical guide rod 703 is slidably connected to each of the four corners of the lifting plate 701. The four vertical guide rods 703 are fixedly connected inside the water storage tank 2. Two connecting rods 704, penetrating the top of the water storage tank 2, are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lifting plate 701, and a counterweight pressing block 705 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the two connecting rods 704. The counterweight pressing block 705 is located at the press switch. Directly above 203; when the bottom surface of the floating block 702 is 20 to 25 centimeters away from the bottom surface of the water tank 2, the bottom surface of the counterweight pressing block 705 will be in close contact with the button on the pressing switch 203. Through the setting of the liquid level monitoring mechanism 7, when the water level in the water source inside the water tank 2 is lower than 20 to 25 centimeters during irrigation, the sound and light alarm 202 can be automatically activated, thereby providing an effective warning to the staff, so that the staff can replenish the water source inside the water tank 2 in time, improving the intelligence level of this irrigation device.
[0040] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, water is added to the water tank 2 through the water inlet. Then, the floating block 702, under the buoyancy of the water inside the water tank 2, moves the lifting plate 701, connecting rod 704, and counterweight pressing block 705 upwards. At this time, the counterweight pressing block 705 moves away from the pressing switch 203. Then, the moving base 1 moves the water tank 2 to the vicinity of the edible fungi to be irrigated. The irrigation mode of the spray pipe 4 is then adjusted according to the cultivation mode of the edible fungi. For example, when planting on the ground, the irrigation mode can be adjusted via intelligent... The controller 201 controls the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder 601 to extend forward, which in turn moves the drive plate 602 and rack 603 forward in a straight line. When the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder 601 extends forward to its limit position, the rack 603 drives the gear 303 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise. At this time, the spray pipe 4 is in a horizontal state and the nozzle on the spray pipe 4 is facing down. Then, the intelligent controller 201 starts the water pump 205 to transport the water source inside the water storage tank 2 to the inside of the spray pipe 4. Finally, the water is sprayed onto the mushroom sticks through the spray pipe 4.
[0041] During the spraying process, the drive motor 501 can be started by the intelligent controller 201, which drives the drive disc 502 to rotate. The rotating drive disc 502 drives one end of the connecting rod 503 to rotate, and then the other end of the connecting rod 503 drives the spray pipe 4 to move back and forth, thus improving the uniformity of the spray pipe 4 when spraying water.
[0042] During irrigation, the water inside the water storage tank 2 will be continuously consumed, causing the water level inside the water storage tank 2 to drop continuously. This causes the floating block 702 to move downwards as well. When the bottom surface of the floating block 702 is 20 to 25 centimeters away from the bottom surface inside the water storage tank 2, the bottom surface of the counterweight pressing block 705 will make close contact with the button on the pressing switch 203, thus pressing the button on the pressing switch 203. Then, after receiving the signal of the button being pressed on the pressing switch 203, the intelligent controller 201 will activate the audible and visual alarm 202. At this time, the audible and visual alarm 202 will emit a warning sound and a warning light, thus providing an effective warning to the staff and enabling them to replenish the water inside the water storage tank 2 in a timely manner.
