Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungus cultivation equipment, and in particular to a multi-directional irradiation light simulation device for edible fungus cultivation, belonging to the field of agricultural engineering technology. Background Technology

[0002] The multi-directional illumination light simulation device for edible fungi cultivation is an intelligent device specifically designed for edible fungi cultivation. It aims to solve problems such as blind spots and uneven illumination that exist in traditional single-sided or top illumination, thereby improving the yield and quality of edible fungi.

[0003] Publication No. CN211960382U discloses a lighting device for edible mushroom cultivation, including a box body. Fixed plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the box body, and a placement plate is snapped onto the top of the fixed plates. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the inner cavity of the box body, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod. A motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the shaft of the motor. A threaded tube is sleeved on the surface of the threaded rod. This lighting device achieves the effect of edible mushroom cultivation through the box body, supports the placement plate through the fixed plates, places the edible mushrooms on the placement plate, and moves the lighting lamp body up and down through the electric telescopic rod. The position of the lighting lamp can be adjusted to facilitate irradiation of edible mushrooms in different locations, ensuring the growth of the edible mushrooms.

[0004] However, the light source of this type of lighting device can only move in the middle of the box, which easily leads to uneven growth and distorted shape of the fungi. The fungi near the light source grow faster due to sufficient light, and their rapidly developing hyphae or fruiting bodies will block the light, resulting in insufficient light for the fungi behind them, exacerbating the growth differences. At the same time, if the light-receiving surface is fixed for a long time, the fungal hyphae will change their growth polarity due to the directional stimulation of light. For example, fungi such as enoki mushrooms tend to bend towards the light, which requires improvement.

[0005] To address this, a multi-directional illumination simulation device for edible mushroom cultivation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a multi-directional illumination simulation device for edible fungi cultivation, including a movable frame 1, a lifting cylinder 2 mounted on the movable frame 1, an installation plate 3 slidably mounted inside the movable frame 1, a motor 4 mounted above the installation plate 3, a lighting lamp 5 mounted at the output end of the motor 4, and a gear 9 connected to the output end of the motor 4 via a belt drive mechanism. A gear ring 10 is rotatably mounted below the installation plate 3, a ring plate 11 is mounted below the gear ring 10, and a connecting plate 12 is mounted below the ring plate 11. 2 has a vertical groove 13, in which a slider 14 is slidably installed. A connecting plate 15 is hinged to the slider 14 via a pivot. A mounting plate 16 is hinged to the connecting plate 15 via a pivot. A reflector 17 is connected to the mounting plate 16 via a quick-change mechanism. A connecting seat 18 is hinged to the back of the mounting plate 16 via a pivot. A connecting ring 19 is connected to the slider 14. A threaded seat 20 is installed below the connecting plate 12. A threaded sleeve 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded seat 20. A top ring 22 is rotatably installed above the threaded sleeve 21.

[0029] In one embodiment, gear 9 meshes with gear ring 10, a handle is provided on threaded sleeve 21, mounting plate 3 is installed on the output end of lifting cylinder 2, and connecting seat 18 is installed on the inner wall of connecting plate 12. Lifting cylinder 2 can synchronously adjust the height of mounting plate 3, so that the entire lighting system can adapt to the height requirements of edible fungi at different growth stages.

[0030] In one embodiment, the slide groove 13 has vertical grooves on both sides, and the slider 14 has protrusions on both sides that are adapted to the grooves. The protrusions are slidably disposed within the grooves. The design of the grooves and protrusions effectively ensures that the slider 14 can only slide vertically within the slide groove 13, and improves stability, preventing the slider 14 from being dislodged by external forces.

[0031] In one embodiment, the belt drive mechanism includes pulley A6, pulley B7, and belt 8. Pulley A6 is mounted on the output end of motor 4, pulley B7 is rotatably mounted above mounting plate 3, and belt 8 is arranged around pulleys A6 and B7. When motor 4 starts, its output end drives pulley A6 to rotate, which in turn drives pulley B7 to rotate via belt 8, thereby transmitting power to gear 9.

[0032] In one embodiment, pulley A6 coincides with the axis of the lighting lamp 5, and pulley B7 coincides with the axis of the gear 9. Under the meshing action of gear 9 and gear ring 10, the gear ring 10 will be driven to rotate counterclockwise, thereby causing ring plate 11, connecting plate 12 and reflector plate 17 to rotate in the opposite direction along the axis.

[0033] In one embodiment, the quick-change mechanism includes a T-shaped plate 23, a T-shaped groove 24, a fixing rod 25, a locking plate 26, a torsion spring 27, and a locking slot 28. The T-shaped plate 23 is mounted on the mounting plate 16, the T-shaped groove 24 is located on the back of the reflector 17, the fixing rod 25 is mounted below the mounting plate 16, the locking plate 26 is rotatably mounted on the fixing rod 25, the torsion spring 27 is sleeved on the fixing rod 25, and the locking slot 28 is located on the back of the reflector 17. The cooperation between the T-shaped plate 23 and the T-shaped groove 24 ensures the lateral positioning of the reflector 17, and the engagement between the locking plate 26 and the locking slot 28 achieves longitudinal fixation.

[0034] In one embodiment, one end of the torsion spring 27 is mounted below the retaining plate 26, and the other end is mounted on the fixing rod 25. The torsion spring 27 drives the retaining plate 26 to tend towards the retaining slot 28. The torsion spring 27 provides a continuous clamping force to prevent the reflector 17 from loosening during rotation. For example, maintenance personnel can complete the disassembly action of "pushing the retaining plate 26 and pulling the reflector 17" and the installation action of "pushing the reflector 17 and placing the retaining plate 26" with only one hand, without the need for tools.

[0035] In operation, this invention works as follows: When motor 4 starts, its output drives the lighting lamp 5 to rotate clockwise. Simultaneously, through the belt transmission mechanism 8, motor 4 drives pulley A6 to rotate, which in turn drives pulley B7 to rotate, thus transmitting power to gear 9. Under the meshing action of gear 9 and gear ring 10, gear ring 10 rotates counterclockwise, causing ring plate 11, connecting plate 12, and reflector plate 17 to rotate in the opposite direction along the axis. At this time, the light emitted by lighting lamp 5, while directly shining on the fungal culture, is reflected by reflector plate 17 to the backlit area of ​​the fungal culture, forming a dynamic supplementary lighting effect. When adjusting the reflection angle, rotating threaded sleeve 21 causes it to move up and down along threaded seat 20, and top ring 22 pushes connecting ring 19, causing slider 14 to slide within groove 13. At this time, the slider 14, through the mechanical coupling between the connecting plate 15, the mounting plate 16, and the connecting seat 18, synchronously adjusts the tilt angle of multiple sets of reflectors 17. For example, when the threaded sleeve 21 is rotated clockwise, the top ring 22 moves upward, and the slider 14 drives the reflectors 17 to tilt upward, reflecting light to the higher-positioned fungi; conversely, it tilts downward to cover the bottom layer of fungi. During this process, the lifting cylinder 2 can synchronously adjust the height of the mounting plate 3, so that the entire lighting system adapts to the height requirements of different growth stages of edible fungi. Through dynamic rotation and angle adjustment, the shading problem caused by the fixed light source is eliminated, ensuring uniform light exposure on all sides of the fungi.

[0036] When the mirror of reflector 17 is damaged and needs to be replaced, first, manually rotate the retaining plate 26 around the fixing rod 25 to compress the torsion spring 27 and disengage it from the retaining groove 28 on the back of reflector 17; then pull reflector 17 outward to allow the T-slot 24 to slide off the T-plate 23 of mounting plate 16, completing the disassembly. When installing a new reflector 17, align the T-slot 24 with the T-plate 23 and insert it, pushing reflector 17 until the retaining groove 28 aligns with the fixing rod 25; at this point, release the retaining plate 26, and the torsion spring 27 resets, driving the retaining plate 26 to engage with the retaining groove 28, achieving automatic locking.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
