Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of strain preparation technology, and in particular to an edible fungi strain preparation device. Background Technology

[0002] Edible fungi spawn is a propagation material composed of artificially selected pure mycelium and its culture medium. It is the core of edible fungi cultivation. The quality of the spawn directly determines the yield, disease resistance, and commercial value of edible fungi. Its preparation requires precise control of key parameters such as sterile environment, temperature and humidity, and nutrient supply.

[0003] Traditional edible mushroom spawn preparation devices use atmospheric or high-pressure autoclaves to perform moist heat sterilization of the culture medium. In a simple inoculation box or clean bench, an alcohol lamp flame is used to create a sterile area, where the mother culture mycelium is transferred to the sterilized substrate, sealed, and finally placed in a simple culture room.

[0004] In traditional edible mushroom spawn preparation processes, it is difficult to adjust the spacing of the sterilization racks in the autoclave, which can easily lead to obstructed steam flow and the formation of sterilization dead zones. In addition, during the sterilization process, water vapor on the top lid condenses upon cooling, and the impact of water droplets can damage the surface structure of the culture medium inside the spawn bottle, resulting in excessively high local humidity or inhibited mycelial growth, thus reducing the activity and uniformity of the spawn. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an edible fungus spawn preparation device, which aims to improve the problem that in the traditional edible fungus spawn preparation process, the sterilization pot is difficult to adjust the spacing of the sterilization racks, which easily leads to obstructed steam flow and the formation of sterilization dead corners.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an edible fungus spawn preparation device, comprising a pot body, a top cover provided on the top of the pot body, a heating tube provided inside the pot body, a sterilization rack provided inside the pot body, and an adjustment component provided inside the sterilization rack;

[0007] The adjustment assembly includes a tray slidably connected inside the sterilization rack. Four sliders are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tray. A locking block is slidably connected inside one of the four sliders. A fixing post is slidably connected to the inner wall of the locking block. Four supports are slidably connected to the outer walls of the four sliders. Each of the four supports has a first sliding groove inside. One of the four supports has a locking groove and a second sliding groove inside. The outer wall of the locking block is slidably connected inside the locking groove. The outer wall of the fixing post is slidably connected inside the second sliding groove. A spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing post.

[0008] Furthermore, a knob is provided on the top cover, a connecting post is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the knob, a scraper is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting post, a guide groove is provided inside the scraper, and the upper surface of the scraper is slidably connected to the lower surface of the top cover.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring 1 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top cover, a sealing ring 2 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sealing ring 1, the bottom of the sealing ring 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the pot body, a flange 1 is provided on the outer wall of the top cover, a flange 2 is provided on the lower surface of the flange, and a bolt is provided inside the flange 1.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the card block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tray.

[0011] Furthermore, a control panel is provided on the front side of the pot body, and casters are provided on the bottom of the pot body.

[0012] Furthermore, the sterilization rack has a hinge on its outer wall and is positioned above the heating tube.

[0013] Furthermore, a condensate pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pot body, and the outer wall of the scraper is rotatably connected to the inside of the pot body.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the fixed column is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tray, and the slider is slidably connected inside the slide groove.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In this invention, pressing the locking block disengages it from the slot and compresses the spring. After unlocking, the tray can slide freely to a new position. When the locking block is released, the spring rebounds and pushes the locking block into the slot at the corresponding height. At the same time, the fixing column slides along the second slide groove to limit its movement. This solves the problem that in the traditional process of preparing edible fungi spawn, it is difficult to adjust the spacing of the sterilization racks in the sterilizer, which easily leads to obstructed steam flow and the formation of sterilization dead corners. This invention achieves uniform steam penetration and efficient sterilization.

[0017] In this invention, by rotating the knob on the top cover, the connecting column is driven to rotate the scraper around the axis of the top cover. The scraper slides against the lower surface of the top cover, scraping off the condensed water droplets and collecting them along the internal guide groove, and then directing them to the inner wall of the pot. This solves the problem that in the traditional sterilization process, water vapor on the top cover condenses when it encounters cold, and water droplets impacting the surface structure of the culture medium inside the culture bottle will damage the surface structure, resulting in excessively high local humidity or hindered mycelial growth, thus reducing the activity and uniformity of the strain. This invention achieves a significant improvement in the activity and uniformity of the strain. Attached Figure Description

The outer wall of the fixed column 19 is fitted with a spring 22. A knob 6 is set above the top cover 5. The knob 6 is located above the top cover 5. By rotating, the connecting column 23 and the scraper 10 are driven to rotate, so that the scraper 10 scrapes the condensed water droplets on the inner wall of the top cover 5. The outer wall of the knob 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 23. One end of the connecting column 23 is fixedly connected to the scraper 10. The scraper 10 is provided with a guide groove 24. The scraper 10 scrapes and peels off the condensed water droplets on the inner wall of the top cover 5 and guides them to the inner wall of the pot body 1 through the guide groove 24. The upper surface of the scraper 10 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the top cover 5.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 7A sealing ring 14 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top cover 5. A sealing ring 2 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sealing ring 14. The bottom of the sealing ring 2 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the pot body 1. A flange 8 is provided on the outer wall of the top cover 5. A flange 2 9 is provided on the lower surface of the flange 8. A bolt 7 is provided inside the flange 8. The bolt 7 enhances the connection strength between the top cover 5 and the pot body 1 and improves the sealing performance of the device. To prevent steam leakage and heat loss, one end of spring 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking block 20, and the other end of spring 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tray 21. A control panel 3 is provided on the front side of the pot body 1, and universal wheels 2 are provided at the bottom of the pot body 1. The universal wheels 2 facilitate the adjustment of the device position, improving the flexibility and operability of the device. A hinge 16 is provided on the outer wall of the sterilization rack 12. The hinge 16 is located on the outer wall of the sterilization rack 12, which facilitates the placement or removal of the inoculum container before and after sterilization, improving the convenience of operation. The sterilization rack 12 is located above the heating tube 11. A condensate pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pot body 1. The condensate pipe 4 is used to directionally discharge excess condensate generated during the sterilization process. The outer wall of the scraper 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the pot body 1. One end of the fixed column 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tray 21, and the slider 26 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 17.

[0031] Working principle: The tray 21 slides along the slide groove 17 of the bracket 13 via four sliders 26 on the outer wall to adjust its height. When the spacing of the tray 21 needs to be adjusted, the locking block 20 is manually pressed to disengage it from the slot 18 of the bracket 13. At this time, the spring 22 is compressed and contracts, and the locking block 20 slides back along the fixing post 19 into the slider 26, releasing the fixing of the tray 21. After the tray 21 can slide freely to the new position, the locking block 20 is released, and the spring 22 rebounds to push the locking block 20 back into the slot 18 of the corresponding height. At the same time, the fixing post 19 slides along the second slide groove 25 to limit the movement, ensuring that the locking block 20 and the slot 18 are accurately aligned and locked. In addition, by rotating the knob 6 on the top cover 5, the connecting post 23 fixed on its outer wall synchronously drives the scraper 10 to rotate around the axis of the top cover 5. The upper surface of the scraper 10 and the lower surface of the top cover 5 are aligned. The scraper 10 slides tightly, scraping off the condensate droplets adhering to the inner wall of the top cover 5 using the edge of the scraper 10. The detached droplets collect along the guide groove 24 inside the scraper 10 and are directionally guided to the inner wall of the pot body 1 through the guide groove 24, preventing the droplets from accumulating and dripping into the inoculum container on the sterilization rack 12. The heating tube 11 serves as the core heat source, continuously generating high-temperature steam that penetrates the inoculum container on the sterilization rack 12 to achieve thorough sterilization. Excess condensate generated during the sterilization process is directionally discharged through the condensate pipe 4. The first sealing ring 14 and the second sealing ring 15 form the first flexible seal through nested sliding contact, combined with the rigid seal formed by the first flange 8 and the second flange 9 tightened by the bolts 7, providing double protection for the airtightness of the pot body 1, effectively preventing steam leakage and heat loss, and ensuring a stable high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization environment.
