Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of inoculation box technology, and in particular to an edible fungus isolation inoculation box. Background Technology
[0002] An edible mushroom isolation inoculation box is a specialized device for inoculating edible mushroom spawn, playing a crucial role in the cultivation process. It primarily improves inoculation success rate and spawn quality by providing a relatively sterile, enclosed space, reducing contamination from external microorganisms. It minimizes contact between operators and the spawn inside the box, maintaining its airtightness and protecting operators from irritating or potentially allergenic spawn.
[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN215683832U discloses an edible fungus inoculation box, including a box body. The top inner part of the box body has a first groove, and a cover plate is rotatably connected to the first groove. The bottom inner part of the box body has a second groove, and the lower end of the cover plate is slidably connected to the second groove. The bottom inner part of the box body has a sliding groove, and a slider is slidably connected to the sliding groove. The upper end of the slider is fixedly connected to a culture medium base. A positioning mechanism for positioning the culture medium base is provided on the side wall of the box body. A disinfection mechanism for disinfecting the culture medium base is also provided inside the box body.
[0004] The problem with the aforementioned technologies is that the inoculation box exchanges gases with the outside world. The ventilation device is usually equipped with a sealing mechanism to prevent bacteria from entering the box, but the sealing mechanism of conventional inoculation boxes is relatively complex. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the existing technology. The present invention proposes an edible fungus isolation inoculation box.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an edible fungus isolation inoculation box, comprising: an outer shell, a sealing door rotatably installed on one side of the outer shell, a control panel provided on the upper side of the outer shell, filter screens installed on both sides of the lower end of the outer shell, two air outlet pipes penetratingly installed at the upper end of the outer shell, fans provided on the lower side of the two air outlet pipes, both fans being electrically connected to the control panel, both fans being installed inside the outer shell, a sliding groove being provided on the air outlet pipe, a sliding tube being provided in the sliding groove, multiple air outlet holes being provided on the sliding tube, and a counterweight being installed at the upper end of the sliding tube.
[0007] When the inoculation box needs to exchange gases with the outside air, the control panel starts the fan. The fan generates an upward airflow, which pushes the counterweight upward, thereby moving the sliding tube upward. The gas inside the shell is discharged through the air outlet, and the outside air enters the shell through the filter. After the fan stops rotating, the sliding tube and the counterweight move downward under the action of gravity, and then the sliding tube returns to its original position. The lower side of the counterweight is close to the upper end of the air outlet, thus automatically controlling the air intake and exhaust at the fan and reducing the entry of external bacteria into the shell through the air outlet.
[0008] Preferably, a limit ring is installed at the lower end of the sliding tube, and the limit ring and the sliding groove are slidably connected.
[0009] The fan generates airflow to move the counterweight until the limit ring moves to the upper end of the sliding groove. The limit ring prevents the sliding tube from sliding out of the sliding groove.
[0010] Preferably, a high-efficiency air filter is installed on one side of each of the two filters, and the high-efficiency air filter is located inside the housing.
[0011] High-efficiency air filters can further filter out tiny particles and most microorganisms.
[0012] Preferably, a fixing seat is provided at both ends inside the housing, and an ultraviolet lamp is provided on the two fixing seats. A guide block is installed at both ends of the fixing seat. A slide rod slides through the middle of one of the guide blocks and is fixedly installed on the housing. A threaded rod is threaded through the middle of the other guide block and is rotatably installed on the housing. A motor is installed through the upper end of the housing. The drive end of the motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod. The motor and the control panel are electrically connected.
[0013] The control panel starts the motor, and the motor's drive end rotates the threaded rod, causing the guide block to move up and down along the slide bar. The guide block drives the fixed base to move up and down, which in turn drives the ultraviolet lamp to move up and down, thus evenly irradiating the inside of the shell and eliminating bacteria inside.
[0014] Preferably, two reflectors are symmetrically installed on one side of the inner wall of the outer casing, and the two reflectors are arranged in an arc shape on the opposite side.
[0015] Reflectors can reflect ultraviolet rays to areas that would otherwise be inaccessible, enhancing the disinfection effect on hard-to-reach areas.
[0016] Preferably, drive assemblies are provided at both ends of the outer casing. The drive assemblies include contact plates. A moving groove is provided on the outer casing. The contact plates and the moving groove are slidably connected. Positioning blocks are installed at both ends of the sealing door near the outer casing. The positioning blocks are adapted to the moving groove. A fixing block is provided on one side of the contact plate. The fixing block is fixedly installed on the outer casing. A limit post slides through the middle of the fixing block. The limit post is fixedly connected to the contact plate. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the limit post. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the fixing block. The other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the contact plate. A switch is provided at the end of the limit post away from the contact plate. The switch is fixedly installed on the outer casing. The switch is electrically connected to the ultraviolet lamp.
[0017] After the sealing door is closed, the positioning block is located in the moving groove. The positioning block pushes the contact plate to move, thereby causing the limit post to move. This causes one end of the limit post to press the free end of the switch, and the switch turns on the ultraviolet lamp. Similarly, after the sealing door is opened, the positioning block leaves the moving groove, and the contact plate returns to its original position under the action of the spring force. This causes the limit post to move away from the switch, thereby causing the switch to turn off the ultraviolet lamp and prevent the ultraviolet lamp from causing harm to the human body after the sealing door is opened.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: the fan is started by the control panel, the fan generates an upward airflow, the rising airflow pushes the counterweight upward, thereby driving the sliding tube upward, the gas inside the shell is discharged from the air outlet, and the outside air enters the shell through the filter screen. After the fan stops rotating, the sliding tube and the counterweight move downward under the action of gravity, and then the sliding tube returns to its original position. The lower side of the counterweight is in close contact with the upper end of the air outlet, thereby automatically controlling the air in and out of the fan and reducing the entry of external bacteria into the shell through the air outlet.

[0028] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this invention, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of the invention. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of the invention or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this invention.
[0029] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1-4As shown. An edible fungus isolation inoculation box includes: an outer shell 1, a sealing door 2 rotatably installed on one side of the outer shell 1, a control panel 3 on the upper side of the outer shell 1, filter screens 4 installed on both sides of the lower end of the outer shell 1, two air outlet pipes 5 penetratingly installed at the upper end of the outer shell 1, fans 51 installed below the two air outlet pipes 5, both fans 51 being electrically connected to the control panel 3, both fans 51 being installed inside the outer shell 1, a sliding groove 52 being formed on the air outlet pipe 5, a sliding tube 53 being arranged in the sliding groove 52, multiple air outlet holes 531 being formed on the sliding tube 53, and a counterweight 54 being installed at the upper end of the sliding tube 53 for inoculation. When the box needs to exchange gas with the outside air, the control panel 3 starts the fan 51. The fan 51 generates an upward airflow, which pushes the counterweight 54 upward, thereby driving the sliding tube 53 upward. The gas inside the outer shell 1 is discharged from the air outlet 531, and the outside air enters the outer shell 1 through the filter screen 4. After the fan 51 stops rotating, the sliding tube 53 and the counterweight 54 move downward under the action of gravity, and then the sliding tube 53 returns to its original position. The lower side of the counterweight 54 is close to the upper end of the air outlet 5, thereby automatically controlling the air in and out of the fan 51 and reducing the entry of external bacteria into the outer shell 1 through the air outlet 5.
[0030] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 2-4 As shown. A limiting ring 55 is installed at the lower end of the sliding tube 53. The limiting ring 55 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 52. The fan 51 generates airflow to push the counterweight 54 to move until the limiting ring 55 moves to the upper end of the sliding groove 52. The limiting ring 55 prevents the sliding tube 53 from sliding out of the sliding groove 52. A high-efficiency air filter 41 is installed on one side of each of the two filter screens 4. The high-efficiency air filter 41 is a HEPA filter. The high-efficiency air filter 41 is located inside the housing 1. The high-efficiency air filter 41 can further filter out small particles and most microorganisms.
[0031] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figures 4-5As shown. Two mounting bases 6 are provided at both ends inside the outer casing 1. Ultraviolet lamps 61 are mounted on the two mounting bases 6. Guide blocks 62 are installed at both ends of the mounting bases 6. A slide rod 63 slides through the middle of one guide block 62 and is fixedly mounted on the outer casing 1. A threaded rod 64 threaded through the middle of the other guide block 62 is rotatably mounted on the outer casing 1. A motor 65 is installed through the upper end of the outer casing 1. The drive end of the motor 65 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 64. The motor 65 is electrically connected to the control panel 3. The motor 65 is started by plate 3. The drive end of the motor 65 drives the threaded rod 64 to rotate, causing the guide block 62 to move up and down along the slide rod 63. The guide block 62 drives the fixed seat 6 to move up and down, thereby driving the ultraviolet lamp 61 to move up and down, so as to evenly irradiate the inside of the outer shell 1 and kill the bacteria inside the outer shell 1. Two reflectors 11 are symmetrically installed on one side of the inner wall of the outer shell 1. The two reflectors 11 are arranged in an arc shape on the side facing each other. The reflectors 11 can reflect ultraviolet rays to areas that are not originally irradiated, enhancing the disinfection effect on dead corners.
[0032] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figures 6-7 As shown. Drive assemblies 7 are provided at both ends of the outer casing 1. Each drive assembly 7 includes a contact plate 71. A moving groove 12 is provided on the outer casing 1. The contact plate 71 and the moving groove 12 are slidably connected. Positioning blocks 21 are installed at both ends of the sealing door 2 near the outer casing 1. The positioning blocks 21 and the moving groove 12 are compatible. A fixing block 72 is provided on one side of the contact plate 71. The fixing block 72 is fixedly installed on the outer casing 1. A limit post 73 slides through the middle of the fixing block 72. The limit post 73 is fixedly connected to the contact plate 71. A spring 74 is sleeved on the outside of the limit post 73. One end of the spring 74 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 72, and the other end of the spring 74 is fixedly connected to the contact plate 71. A positioning block 74 is provided at the end of the limit post 73 away from the contact plate 71. A switch 75 is fixedly mounted on the outer casing 1. The switch 75 is electrically connected to the ultraviolet lamp 61. After the sealing door 2 is closed, the positioning block 21 is located in the moving groove 12. The positioning block 21 pushes the contact plate 71 to move, thereby driving the limiting post 73 to move. This causes one end of the limiting post 73 to press the free end of the switch 75, and the switch 75 turns on the ultraviolet lamp 61. Similarly, after the sealing door 2 is opened, the positioning block 21 leaves the moving groove 12, and the contact plate 71 is reset under the action of the spring 74. This causes the limiting post 73 to move away from the switch 75, thereby causing the switch 75 to turn off the ultraviolet lamp 61, preventing the ultraviolet lamp 61 from causing harm to the human body after the sealing door 2 is opened.
[0033] In this embodiment, the fan 51 is started via the control panel 3. The fan 51 generates an upward airflow, which pushes the counterweight 54 upward, thereby causing the sliding tube 53 to move upward. The gas inside the outer casing 1 is discharged from the air outlet 531, and outside air enters the outer casing 1 through the filter screen 4. After the fan 51 stops rotating, the sliding tube 53 and the counterweight 54 move downward under the action of gravity, and then the sliding tube 53 returns to its original position. The lower side of the counterweight 54 is in close contact with the upper end of the air outlet 5, thereby automatically controlling the entry and exit of gas at the fan 51 and reducing the entry of external bacteria into the outer casing 1 through the air outlet 5.
[0034] The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this invention, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this invention.
