[0022] This utility model provides an automatic temperature and humidity regulating incubator for Gastrodia elata mycelium, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the automatically temperature and humidity-regulating Gastrodia elata spawn cultivation box includes: a box body 1, with a vent at the top and an air inlet at the bottom; a placement plate 2 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box body 1, on which a cultivation box 3 for cultivating Gastrodia elata spawn is placed; a soil moisture sensor 4 installed inside the cultivation box 3; a temperature sensor 5 fixedly installed on the box body 1; a fan 6 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air inlet for heat dissipation; a support frame 9 fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 1, with a blocking mechanism for blocking the air inlet; a heating mechanism mounted on the box body 1 for heating the gas; and a spray mechanism mounted on the box body 1 for humidifying the Gastrodia elata spawn.

[0023] In this embodiment, when using the incubation box to cultivate Gastrodia elata spawn, the spawn to be cultivated is placed into the incubation box 3. After placement, the incubation box 3 is placed on the placement plate 2. Then, the soil moisture sensor 4 is inserted into the Gastrodia elata spawn in the incubation box 3. The soil moisture sensor 4 is model M184082, which is existing technology, and its principle is not described. Then, the power supply of the incubation box is turned on to cultivate the Gastrodia elata spawn. During the cultivation period, if the soil moisture sensor 4 detects low humidity, the incubation box will automatically turn on the spray mechanism to water and humidify the Gastrodia elata spawn in the incubation box 3. After a period of time, it will stop and will only start running again when low humidity is detected again, thus continuously providing a suitable humidity environment for the spawn. Watering is timely. During the cultivation process, temperature sensor 5 monitors the temperature inside chamber 1 in real time. The temperature sensor 5 is model AC1909, which is existing technology, and its principle will not be described. When temperature sensor 5 detects that the temperature inside chamber 1 is low, the heating mechanism will automatically operate to heat the gas inside chamber 1 until the temperature reaches the target. When temperature sensor 5 detects that the temperature inside chamber 1 is high, the blocking mechanism will automatically release the obstruction to the air inlet. Then, fan 6 will automatically operate to quickly introduce external gas into chamber 1 through the air inlet, allowing the gas inside chamber 1 to be quickly discharged through the vent at the top, effectively cooling the inside of chamber 1. This ensures that the temperature inside chamber 1 is always maintained within the suitable growth temperature range for the Gastrodia elata spawn, resulting in good cultivation effect.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the blocking mechanism includes: an electric push rod 7 fixedly installed on the support frame 9, a baffle 8 fixedly installed on the output rod of the electric push rod 7, and the top of the baffle 8 contacting the bottom of the housing 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the blocking mechanism is used to block the air inlet. When the temperature sensor 5 detects that the temperature inside the housing 1 is high, the electric push rod 7 will automatically move the baffle 8 downward, so that the baffle 8 releases the blockage of the air inlet. Then the fan 6 will automatically run, quickly introducing external gas into the housing 1 from the air inlet, so that the gas inside the housing 1 can be quickly discharged from the top vent, effectively cooling the inside of the housing 1. When the temperature inside the housing 1 drops to a suitable temperature, the fan 6 will stop working, and the electric push rod 7 will move the baffle 8 upward, so that the baffle 8 blocks the air inlet.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating mechanism includes: a housing 10 fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1, with a heating wire 12 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 10; a through pipe 11 fixedly installed on the housing 10, with one end of the through pipe 11 extending into the interior of the housing 1; a fan 13 fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 10, with a discharge pipe 15 fixedly installed on the exhaust end of the fan 13, with one end of the discharge pipe 15 extending into the interior of the housing 10; and a suction pipe 14 fixedly installed on the suction end of the fan 13, with one end of the suction pipe 14 extending into the interior of the housing 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the heating mechanism is used to heat the gas. During operation, the heating wire 12 heats the gas inside the housing 10, and the fan 13 transmits the gas inside the box 1 to the housing 10 through the suction pipe 14 and the discharge pipe 15, so that the heating wire 12 can heat the gas. After heating, the gas is discharged into the box 1 through the through pipe 11. This process is repeated continuously, and after a period of time, the temperature inside the box 1 can reach the required temperature.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spraying mechanism includes: a water injection pipe 16 fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1, and a solenoid valve provided on the water injection pipe 16; a diversion pipe 17 fixedly installed on the water injection pipe 16, one end of the diversion pipe 17 extending into the interior of the housing 1, and a nozzle 18 provided on the diversion pipe 17.

[0029] In this embodiment, the spraying mechanism is used to humidify the Gastrodia elata spawn. Before use, a flexible hose needs to be prepared, and then the water injection pipe 16 is connected to an existing faucet using this hose. The faucet needs to be kept open. After the connection is completed, when the soil moisture sensor 4 detects that the humidity of the Gastrodia elata spawn is low, the solenoid valve will automatically open, allowing the water injection pipe 16 to deliver water to the diversion pipe 17, and finally spray it out from the nozzle 18 to water and humidify the Gastrodia elata spawn in the cultivation box 3. It will stop after a period of time and will only start running again when the humidity is detected to be low again, thus continuously providing a suitable humidity environment for the spawn and watering in a timely manner.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first filter screen 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air inlet, and a second filter screen 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1, with the second filter screen 20 corresponding to the air vent.

[0031] In this embodiment, the use of the first filter 19 can prevent external dust from entering the housing 1 through the air inlet, and the use of the second filter 20 can prevent external dust from entering the housing 1 through the vent, thus effectively maintaining the cleanliness of the housing 1.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the housing 1 is provided with a pick-up and put-out opening, and the pick-up and put-out opening is provided with a switch door.

[0033] In this embodiment, by opening the door from the loading and unloading port, it is convenient for personnel to take out the incubation box 3 from the box 1 or put the incubation box 3 into the box 1.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a controller is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1, and the controller is located above the housing 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, by using a controller, the cultivation box can automatically activate the spray mechanism to humidify the Gastrodia elata spawn based on the humidity data measured by the soil moisture sensor 4, and can activate the blocking mechanism, fan 6 and heating mechanism based on the temperature data measured by the temperature sensor 5. This allows for automated adjustment of the humidity and temperature for the cultivation of Gastrodia elata spawn, making the cultivation of Gastrodia elata spawn more convenient. The controller model is G6F-DA2V, which is existing technology, and its principle will not be described here.

[0036] In summary, compared with related technologies, this solution, through the use of a controller, enables automated regulation of the humidity and temperature for the cultivation of Gastrodia elata spawn. During the cultivation period, if the soil moisture sensor 4 detects low humidity in the cultivation box 3, the spraying mechanism will automatically activate to water and humidify the spawn. This process will stop after a period of time and only resume when low humidity is detected again, thus continuously providing a suitable humidity environment for the spawn and ensuring timely watering. Furthermore, the use of the temperature sensor 5 allows for real-time monitoring of the humidity inside the box 1. When the temperature inside chamber 1 is low, the heating mechanism will automatically operate to heat the gas inside chamber 1 until the temperature reaches the target. When the temperature inside chamber 1 is high, the blocking mechanism will automatically release the obstruction of the air inlet, and then the fan 6 will automatically operate to quickly introduce external gas into chamber 1 through the air inlet, so that the gas inside chamber 1 can be quickly discharged through the vent at the top, effectively cooling the inside of chamber 1. This ensures that the temperature inside chamber 1 is always maintained within the suitable growth temperature range for Gastrodia elata spawn, resulting in better cultivation effects and making the cultivation of Gastrodia elata spawn more convenient and labor-saving.
