Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi cultivation technology, specifically to a three-dimensional edible fungi cultivation rack based on the Internet of Things. Background Technology
[0002] Edible fungi refer to large, edible mushrooms (macrofungi). Common edible fungi include: shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, button mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, silver ear mushrooms, monkey head mushrooms, bamboo fungus, matsutake mushrooms, button mushrooms, red mushrooms, reishi mushrooms, cordyceps, truffles, white lingzhi mushrooms, and porcini mushrooms, etc. A few belong to the Ascomycota, including: morels, saddle mushrooms, and truffles. These fungi grow in different regions and different ecological environments. The cultivation of edible fungi is the process of artificially creating suitable conditions such as temperature, light, water, nutrients, and gas, and cultivating large edible fungi on artificially prepared culture media, usually using cultivation racks.
[0003] Existing edible mushroom cultivation racks have simple structures, and the control of environmental parameters (such as temperature, humidity, and gas concentration) mainly relies on manual experience or simple timing equipment, lacking real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment capabilities. Furthermore, traditional humidification systems are mostly fixed spray devices, and uneven water distribution can easily cause local water accumulation or drying of the culture medium. In addition, irrigation water is mostly consumed in one direction and lacks a recycling mechanism, resulting in serious waste of water resources. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an Internet of Things-based three-dimensional cultivation rack for edible fungi, thereby solving the existing problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a three-dimensional edible fungus cultivation rack based on the Internet of Things, comprising a cultivation rack base, a main frame, a water tank, a cooler, a fan unit, a sensor support, and a fixing frame on the upper surface of the cultivation rack base, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a gas sensor on the top of the sensor support, a cultivation box inside the main frame, a cultivation board inside the cultivation box, a water outlet pipe fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cultivation box, a return pipe fixedly connected to the end of the water outlet pipe, a first water pump, a second water pump, and a water injection pipe on the upper surface of the water tank, a flexible hose on the top of the first water pump, a water guide branch pipe at the end of the flexible hose, a sprinkler head fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water guide branch pipe, and a motor on the outer surface of the fixing frame.

[0011] Beneficial effects
[0012] This invention provides a three-dimensional cultivation rack for edible fungi based on the Internet of Things. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] (1) The Internet of Things-based three-dimensional cultivation rack for edible fungi integrates Internet of Things technology and a multi-sensor collaborative monitoring system. The Internet of Things-based three-dimensional cultivation rack for edible fungi achieves precise control of the cultivation environment in all dimensions. Temperature sensors, humidity sensors and gas sensors collect environmental data in the box in real time and transmit it to the central control system through the Internet of Things module. This triggers the dynamic adjustment of actuators such as the refrigerator, fan unit and atomizing nozzle, which greatly reduces the frequency of manual inspection and management costs, and realizes unattended intelligent production.
[0014] (2) The Internet of Things-based three-dimensional edible fungus cultivation rack, through the cooperation of water outlet pipe, return pipe, motor, lead screw, slider, water guide branch pipe, hose and sprinkler head, the first water pump delivers water in the water tank to the water guide branch pipe through the hose. The sprinkler head moves horizontally and reciprocally above the cultivation box through the lead screw slider mechanism driven by the motor, ensuring that there are no dead corners in irrigation coverage and avoiding local over-wetting or dryness caused by traditional fixed sprinkler. After irrigation, excess water returns to the water tank through the water outlet pipe and return pipe for recycling. In conjunction with the drain pipe, impurities are discharged regularly, reducing water waste. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides an Internet of Things-based three-dimensional cultivation rack for edible fungi, including a cultivation rack base 1. The upper surface of the cultivation rack base 1 is provided with a main frame 2, a water tank 3, a cooler 4, a fan unit 5, a sensor support 6, and a fixing frame 17. The top of the sensor support 6 is provided with a temperature sensor 7, a humidity sensor 8, and a gas sensor 9. The main frame 2 is provided with a cultivation box 10 inside, and a cultivation board 11 is provided inside the cultivation box 10. A water outlet pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cultivation box 10, and a return pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the water outlet pipe 23. The upper surface of the water tank 3 is provided with a first water pump 12, a second water pump 13, and a water injection pipe 14. A hose 27 is provided at the top of the first water pump 12, and a water guide branch pipe 15 is provided at the end of the hose 27. A sprinkler head 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water guide branch pipe 15. A motor 18 is provided on the outer surface of the fixing frame 17.
[0022] Specifically, a lead screw 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 18, a slider 20 is provided on the outer surface of the lead screw 19, and a connecting seat 21 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the slider 20.
[0023] Specifically, the end of the lead screw 19 away from the motor 18 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the fixed frame 17, and the top of the second water pump 13 is provided with an atomizing nozzle 22.
[0024] Specifically, the outer surface of the water branch pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting seat 21, and the sprinkler head 16 is set above the cultivation board 11.
[0025] Specifically, the end of the return pipe 24 is connected to the water tank 3, and the outer surface of the water tank 3 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe 25, and the drain pipe 25 is equipped with an on / off valve 26.
[0026] Specifically, the interior of the water outlet pipe 23 is connected to the interior of the cultivation box 10, and the water outlet pipe 23 is located below the cultivation plate 11.
[0027] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above embodiments.
[0028] In use, the cultivation rack base 1 serves as the overall support structure. The main frame 2 above houses multiple cultivation boxes 10. Each cultivation box 10 contains a removable cultivation board 11 to hold the microbial inoculum or culture medium. Temperature sensors 7, humidity sensors 8, and gas sensors 9 on the sensor support 6 monitor temperature, humidity, and gas concentrations such as carbon dioxide and oxygen in real time. The data is transmitted to the central control system via an IoT module. The system automatically analyzes the data based on preset edible fungi growth parameters, such as suitable temperature range, humidity threshold, and gas ratio, and triggers corresponding... The actuator regulates the process. When the temperature sensor 7 detects that the ambient temperature is higher than the set value, the cooler 4 starts, and the fan unit 5 evenly delivers cold air to each cultivation box 10. If the humidity is insufficient, the second water pump 13 starts, spraying fine water mist through the atomizing nozzle 22 to increase the air humidity. At the same time, the first water pump 12 delivers water from the water tank 3 through the hose 27 to the water distribution branch pipe 15, and the sprinkler head 16 irrigates the cultivation plate 11 in a directional manner to ensure that the culture medium is evenly moistened. Excess water after irrigation flows into the water outlet pipe 23 below the cultivation plate 11. The return pipe 24 ultimately returns to the water tank 3 for recycling, reducing water waste. The drain pipe 25 and the on / off valve 26 outside the water tank 3 can periodically remove sediment and impurities, maintaining water cleanliness. In addition, the motor 18 on the fixing frame 17 drives the lead screw 19 to rotate, causing the slider 20 and the connecting seat 21 to move axially along the lead screw 19, so that the water guide branch pipe 15 and the sprinkler head 16 move horizontally reciprocating above the cultivation box 10, ensuring that irrigation coverage is comprehensive. The Internet of Things platform can also remotely monitor the equipment status, and users can view environmental data in real time through mobile terminals or computers. According to the data, the system can adjust the control strategy or receive abnormal alarms such as water pump failure or low water level, thereby realizing unattended intelligent management. When the gas sensor 9 detects that the carbon dioxide concentration is too high, the fan unit 5 can enhance the ventilation efficiency and promote air exchange. If the oxygen content is insufficient, the system can link with external oxygen supply equipment to supplement oxygen and optimize the mycelial growth conditions. This cultivation rack realizes closed-loop management of environmental parameter collection, data analysis, actuator linkage and remote control, which significantly improves the efficiency and quality of edible fungi cultivation, while reducing the cost of manual intervention and resource consumption.
