Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of edible fungi cultivation devices, specifically to an environmentally friendly and water-saving water replenishment device based on a three-dimensional edible fungi cultivation device. Background Technology
[0002] Edible fungi refer to large, edible mushrooms (macrofungi), commonly known as mushrooms. They contain various nutrients essential for the human body, including amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, and minerals. With the gradual improvement of living standards in my country, domestic consumption of edible fungi is increasing daily. To meet market demand, the edible fungi industry has experienced rapid development. Numerous production and cultivation enterprises and personnel have accumulated rich experience, continuously optimizing and innovating various technologies, processes, and methods. In particular, vertical cultivation technology not only increases yields but also effectively improves space utilization, achieving excellent results in actual production and steadily improving production efficiency, product output, and quality.
[0003] In vertical farming of edible fungi, the need for multiple harvests and fruiting cycles leads to a continuous decrease in moisture within the substrate of the cultivation trays, impacting both yield and quality. Therefore, rehydration is essential after each fruiting cycle. Current methods primarily involve spraying water into the cultivation area and simultaneously injecting water into the trays via drip irrigation pipes connected to water pipes on the shelves. However, during this process, water mist is easily lost into the atmosphere through exhaust fans, making it impossible to recover the water. Furthermore, the water dripped into the trays is directly discharged outdoors through pipes, resulting in a significant increase in water consumption, wasting water resources and substantially increasing cultivation costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an environmentally friendly, water-saving water replenishment device based on a three-dimensional edible fungus cultivation system, which reduces water waste and lowers planting costs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an environmentally friendly and water-saving water replenishment device based on a three-dimensional cultivation device for edible fungi, comprising a monitoring mechanism, a water replenishment mechanism, a water return mechanism, and a control panel.
[0006] The control panel is installed on the side wall of the planting room and is connected to the electrical control components of each mechanism via wires. The monitoring mechanism includes an air humidity sensor and a soil humidity sensor. There are multiple air humidity sensors, which are installed at equal intervals on the side wall inside the planting room. The number of soil humidity sensors is the same as the number of culture trays in the planting room and they are set in the substrate inside the culture trays.
[0007] The water supply mechanism includes a water storage tank, atomizing pipes, a drip irrigation system, and a water pump. The water storage tank is located outside the planting room.

A dripper is installed on the outlet of each drip tube, and each dripper extends above each planting pot to drip water.
[0008] The water return mechanism includes a water return tank, a water mist collection component, and a residual water recovery component. The water return tank is located on one side of the planting room, and its drain outlet is connected to a water storage tank via a pipe. A liquid level sensor is installed inside the water return tank. The water mist collection component includes a mounting cover, a demisting assembly, and a manifold. The mounting cover is a hollow cylindrical structure with openings at the top and bottom. An exhaust pipe is installed on the top surface of the mounting cover, and the outlet of the exhaust pipe is connected to the ventilation port of the planting room.

A manifold pipe is installed on the bottom surface of the manifold, and the outlet end of the manifold pipe is connected to the recovery box.
[0009] The residual water recovery component includes a water collection tray and a water collection pipe. The water collection tray has a support plate inside, and multiple drainage grooves are formed on the top surface of the support plate. The bottom surface of the drainage grooves is inclined downwards from the midpoint of its length. A gap is left between the periphery of the support plate and the inner wall of the water collection tray to form a water collection trough. Drainage holes are formed in the water collection troughs, and drainage pipes are installed on the drainage holes. The number of water collection trays is the same as the number of cultivation pots, and they are set below the cultivation pots to collect water. The water collection pipe is set on the planting rack, and its body has a water inlet that is connected to the drainage pipe of the water collection tray. The water outlet of the water collection pipe is connected to the return water tank.
[0010] As an optimization solution in this case, in order to prevent impurities in the recycled water from clogging the atomizing nozzles and drippers, an impurity filtration mechanism is provided between the return water tank and the storage tank.
[0011] Furthermore, the impurity filtration mechanism includes a filter box and a sedimentation box. The filter box is located on one side of the return water tank.

The mounting cover 7 is a hollow cylindrical structure with openings at the top and bottom. An exhaust pipe 10 is installed on the top surface of the mounting cover 7, and the outlet of the exhaust pipe 10 is connected to the ventilation port of the planting room 2. The demisting assembly 8 is installed inside the mounting cover 7. For details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3 The demisting unit 8 consists of multiple baffles connected together, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 The manifold 9 is a conical disc structure located below the mounting cover 7. Multiple mounting rods 11 are arranged in a ring array with their center as the midpoint on the top edge of the manifold 9, and are connected to the bottom edge of the mounting cover 7 through the mounting rods 11. A manifold pipe is installed on the bottom surface of the manifold 9, and the outlet end of the manifold pipe is connected to the recycling box.
[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 The residual water recovery component includes a water collection tray 12 and a water collection pipe 13. The water collection tray 12 has a support plate inside. For details, please refer to [link to specific structure].

The number of water collection trays 12 is the same as the number of cultivation pots, and they are set below the cultivation pots to collect water. The water collection pipe 13 is set on the planting rack, and a water inlet is opened on its body and connected to the drainage pipe of the water collection tray 12. The water outlet of the water collection pipe 13 is connected to the return water tank 6. Example 2
[0029] like Figure 2-7 As shown in the figure, the specific structure and implementation method are as shown in Example 1, except that: an impurity filtration mechanism is provided between the return water tank 6 and the storage tank 3.
[0030] See Figure 6 and Figure 7The impurity filtration mechanism includes a filter box 14 and a sedimentation box 15. The filter box 14 is located on one side of the return water tank 6. The top surface of the filter box 14 is connected to the return water tank 6 through a pipe and a water pump.

Due to the inertial impact of the gas, when the water mist collides with the baffle plate and the water droplets are large enough that their own weight exceeds the resultant force of the gas lift force and the surface tension of the water droplets, the water droplets are separated from the surface of the baffle plate, enter the collection tray 9, and then flow into the return water tank 6.
[0033] When the liquid level in the return water tank 6 reaches the preset value, the control panel 1 controls the water pump to transport the water in the tank to the filter tank 14 for filtration, and then enters the sedimentation tank 15 for sedimentation. When the liquid level in the water tank reaches the preset value, the control panel 1 controls the water pump to transport the water in the tank to the storage tank 3 for use.
