Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi technology, specifically to a multi-layer three-dimensional cultivation rack for edible fungi. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrialized cultivation of edible fungi, multi-layer three-dimensional cultivation racks are widely used due to their high space utilization and large production capacity per unit area. Traditional multi-layer cultivation racks mostly adopt fixed shelf structures, which have the following technical defects:
[0003] 1. Fixed floor height leads to obstructed ventilation in the later stages of mushroom growth due to mycelial expansion, and makes it impossible to dynamically adjust the distribution of light and humidity according to the growth stage of the strain.
[0004] 2. Fixed shelf structure requires manual climbing to move the mushroom bags, which is labor-intensive and can easily cause damage to the bags or secondary contamination during the operation.
[0005] 3. Static shelves are prone to water accumulation and the growth of miscellaneous bacteria. Uneven ventilation in flat trays affects the uniform development of mycelium and makes it difficult to observe the mycelial development of each layer.
[0006] 4. Existing adjustable shelves mostly rely on hydraulic or segmented lifting mechanisms, which are complex in structure and have high maintenance costs, making it difficult to achieve continuous multi-station operation.
[0007] Therefore, to address the aforementioned technical issues, a multi-layer three-dimensional cultivation rack with stable transmission and cyclic adjustment function is designed to meet the automation requirements of edible fungi cultivation. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-layer three-dimensional cultivation rack for edible fungi to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-layer three-dimensional cultivation rack for edible fungi, comprising a cultivation support rack, a support platform, and a cultivation box, characterized in that: two sets of chain rotating tracks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cultivation support rack, and multiple fixed frames are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two sets of chain rotating tracks, each fixed frame is connected to a fixed shaft, and the other end of each fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the support rack; a support platform is horizontally arranged inside the support rack, and a rotating shaft is connected through both ends of the support platform, with the two ends of the rotating shaft connected to the support rack; each pair of symmetrical support racks is connected to a support platform, each support platform is parallel to each other, and a cultivation box is provided on the surface of the support platform;
[0010] A drive motor is fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the cultivation support frame. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a first transmission wheel. A transmission belt is sleeved on the first transmission wheel. A second transmission wheel is sleeved on the other end of the transmission belt. A drive gear is fixedly connected to one end of the second transmission wheel. The drive gear is meshed and sleeved at the bottom of the chain rotation track. A transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the other end of the drive gear. A secondary drive gear is fixedly connected to the other end of the transmission shaft. The secondary drive gear is meshed and sleeved at the bottom of another chain rotation track.
[0011] Preferably, six fixing frames are evenly and fixedly connected to the surface of the chain rotary track.
[0012] Preferably, the fixing frame is connected to the fixing shaft via a bearing.
[0013] Preferably, the support frame has an n-shaped structure, with a fixed shaft fixedly connected to one side of its middle section, and a rotating shaft connecting both ends.
[0014] Preferably, the surface of the support platform has a convex structure, with multiple ventilation holes evenly distributed in its center.
[0015] Preferably, drainage grooves are provided on both sides of the surface of the support platform.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. This utility model utilizes the coordinated action of a chain-driven rotating track and gear transmission to allow the support platform to circulate and shift along the rotation direction. This structure breaks through the limitations of traditional fixed-layer boards, enabling timely observation and adjustment of the height according to different growth stages of mycelium. It effectively solves the problem of obstructed ventilation in the later stages of mycelial growth, while ensuring that light radiation evenly covers each layer of mycelium, avoiding localized humidity accumulation, and significantly improving the quality of mycelial development.
[0018] 2. This utility model adopts a closed-loop circulating shelf structure (fixed shelf - support shelf - support platform), combined with drive motor control, to realize the automated rotation of the incubation box. Operators can complete the storage, retrieval, spraying and observation of the mushroom sticks at the fixed station, completely avoiding the safety hazards caused by climbing the shelf in the traditional mode. The mechanized transfer process reduces the secondary contamination of miscellaneous bacteria caused by human contact, which meets the requirements of clean production in factories.
[0019] 3. The surface of the support platform adopts a convex structure design, which, together with the drainage grooves on both sides, can quickly drain condensate and residual nutrient solution. The ventilation holes evenly distributed in the middle promote the three-dimensional circulation of air between the mushroom sticks, eliminate the dead corners of water accumulation that are common in static shelves, and provide a stable growth environment for mycelium.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, this embodiment of a multi-layer three-dimensional cultivation rack for edible fungi includes a cultivation support frame 1, a support platform 6, and a cultivation box 8. The cultivation support frame 1 is welded from stainless steel. Two sets of closed chain rotary tracks 2 are symmetrically installed on the inner walls of both sides of the cultivation support frame 1. Six fixed frames 3 are evenly fixed on the surface of each set of chain rotary tracks 2. Each fixed frame 3 is connected to a fixed shaft 4 through a bearing 16 to ensure rotational freedom. The other end of each fixed shaft 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the middle of the support frame 5. The support frame 5 has an n-shaped structure, which encloses a horizontally arranged support platform 6. Both ends of the support platform 6 are penetrating through... A rotating shaft 7 is connected to both ends of the support frame 5, allowing the support platform 6 to be suspended horizontally. Each pair of symmetrical support frames 5 is connected to a support platform 6, and each support platform 6 is arranged in parallel with each other. The surface of the support platform 6 has a convex structure, and drainage grooves 62 are opened on both sides to quickly drain condensate and residual nutrient solution. Multiple ventilation holes 61 are evenly opened in the middle of the surface of the support platform 6 to promote airflow in three-dimensional circulation between the mushroom sticks, eliminate the water accumulation dead corners common in static shelves, and provide a stable growth environment for mycelium. A detachable cultivation box 8 is placed on the surface of the support platform 6 for placing the mushroom sticks.
[0028] A drive motor 9 is installed in the middle of the right side of the cultivation support frame 1. The output end of the drive motor 9 is connected to a first transmission wheel 10. A transmission belt 12 is sleeved on the outside of the first transmission wheel 10. A second transmission wheel 11 is sleeved on the other end of the transmission belt 12. The first transmission wheel 10 and the second transmission wheel 11 form a belt drive. One end of the second transmission wheel 11 is coaxially fixedly connected to a drive gear 14. The other end of the drive gear 14 is linked to a secondary drive gear 15 through a transmission shaft 13. The drive gear 14 and the secondary drive gear 15 respectively mesh with the bottom rack of the two chain rotation tracks 2 to achieve synchronous drive of the two tracks. With the control of the drive motor 9, the automated station rotation of the cultivation box 8 is realized. Operators can complete the storage, retrieval, spraying and observation operations of the mushroom sticks at a fixed station.
[0029] Working principle: First, the drive motor 9 is started to drive the first transmission wheel 10. The power is transmitted through the transmission belt 12 to drive the second transmission wheel 11. The drive gear 14 rotates and meshes with the chain of the right chain rotation track 2. The transmission shaft 13 synchronously drives the auxiliary gear 15. The auxiliary gear 15 meshes with the chain of the left chain rotation track 2, realizing the synchronous closed-loop operation of the two tracks. The chain rotation track 2 drives the fixed frame 3 to move. The transmission fixed shaft 4 transmits power to the support frame 5 through the bearing 16. The support frame 5 pulls the support platform 6 to move horizontally along the track direction. Due to the rotation design of the bearing 16 and the rotating shaft 7, the support platform 6 always maintains a horizontal state, and the cultivation box 8 has no risk of tipping over. The support platform 6 is raised and lowered in a closed path. When a certain layer of the support platform 6 is lowered to the bottom position, the operator can store and retrieve the mushroom sticks, spray or test them. After completion, the motor is started to rotate the next layer of platform to the operating position.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the inventive concept, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
