Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of microbial culture technology, and in particular to a microbial culture device for edible fungi cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of edible mushroom cultivation, spawn cultivation is a crucial step. Currently, most existing spawn cultivation racks have a simple design, typically consisting of several simple support boards on top of the rack, upon which the spawn bags are placed horizontally. While this method is simple to operate, in actual use, the spawn bags are placed horizontally, causing them to block each other. This results in some bags not receiving sufficient ventilation and light, affecting the growth environment of the spawn and leading to differences in growth rate and quality in different locations. This reduces the overall quality and yield of the spawn. Furthermore, the close proximity and crowding of adjacent spawn bags makes it difficult for workers to handle, turn them over, and inspect them.
[0003] Furthermore, when watering, the water and nutrient solution tend to accumulate where the two inoculum bags overlap, preventing it from flowing downwards to the bottom of the bags and resulting in uneven distribution of water and nutrient solution.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a spawn cultivation device for edible fungi cultivation has been designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a mushroom spawn cultivation device to solve the problem in related technologies where spawn bags are placed horizontally on the support plate of the cultivation rack, causing them to block each other and preventing some spawn bags from receiving sufficient ventilation and light, making it inconvenient for workers to handle, turn over, and inspect them.
[0006] Firstly, a spawn cultivation device for edible fungi cultivation is provided, comprising:
[0007] The frame has multiple support frames arranged from top to bottom.
[0008] The support frame is provided with a cross-shaped partition plate, which divides the support frame into four culture chambers. Multiple support rods are arranged sequentially in each culture chamber. Multiple bases are inserted between the upper parts of the multiple support rods on the same side. A culture frame is inserted above the base, and the culture frame is used to place the inoculum. Multiple drainage holes communicating with the base are opened on the culture frame.
[0009] The support frame is equipped with a spray unit, which includes a spray element disposed above the support frame and multiple nozzles disposed above the spray element. The nozzles are located above the corresponding culture frames.
[0010] In some embodiments, the frame includes four rectangularly distributed columns, with a rectangular steel frame disposed between the tops of the four columns.
[0011] In some embodiments, the support frame includes a rectangular frame plate and fixing cylinders disposed on the four corners of the rectangular frame plate. The fixing cylinders are sleeved on the upper part of the corresponding columns and are slidably engaged with the columns.
[0012] The column has multiple insertion holes, and a positioning rod is inserted into each insertion hole to support the fixed cylinder.
[0013] In some embodiments, the base is a long, narrow box with an opening at the top;
[0014] A rectangular enclosure is provided below the base, and a plurality of positioning cylinders located inside the rectangular enclosure are provided at the bottom of the base. The rectangular enclosure and the positioning cylinders are at the same height.
[0015] Multiple insert rods are provided above the support rod, and the positioning cylinder is inserted into the corresponding insert rod. Multiple bases on the same side are distributed along the length of the support rod.
[0016] In some embodiments, the culture frame includes a base and a culture box connected to each other. The base is rectangular and has an open bottom. The base is inserted into a base plate. The culture box has an open top and a plurality of drainage holes are formed on the culture box.
[0017] The culture box is fitted with an absorbent cotton rope, the bottom of which extends to the base.
[0018] In some embodiments, the spraying component includes spray pipes disposed opposite each other on the support frame, the two spray pipes being connected by a pipe, a liquid supply interface being provided on one side of the spray pipe, a plurality of liquid supply pipes being provided at the bottom of the spray pipe above the corresponding culture frame, the nozzle being connected to the lower end of the liquid supply pipe, and a valve being provided on the liquid supply pipe.
[0019] This application provides a mushroom cultivation device for edible fungi cultivation. Through the cooperation of the frame, support frame and cross partition plate, the support frame can be divided into four cultivation chambers, which avoids excessive mutual shading between the mushroom spawn, improves ventilation and lighting conditions, and allows the mushroom spawn in each cultivation chamber to obtain relatively uniform ventilation and lighting, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the mushroom spawn and reduces the growth differences caused by uneven ventilation and lighting.
[0020] The use of the culture frame and the substrate together makes it easier for staff to pick up, turn over and inspect the strains. They can easily operate on specific strains without interfering with other strains, making the operation more convenient. In addition, the culture frame and the substrate are installed by plugging in, which makes it easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0021] The spray unit can evenly spray water and nutrients onto the inoculum in the culture frame. The drainage holes on the culture frame can drain excess water in time, preventing water from accumulating in the culture frame. This ensures that the inoculum receives sufficient and appropriate water and nutrients, which is conducive to the balanced growth of the inoculum. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] This application provides a mushroom spawn cultivation device for edible mushroom cultivation, which solves the problem in related technologies where spawn bags are placed horizontally on the support plate of the cultivation rack, causing the spawn bags to block each other, resulting in some spawn bags not receiving sufficient ventilation and light, and making it inconvenient for workers to handle, turn over, and inspect them.
[0031] Please see Figures 1-3 A mushroom cultivation device includes: a frame 1 on which multiple support frames 2 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom; a cross-shaped partition 3 is provided on the support frame 2, which divides the support frame 2 into four cultivation chambers 4; multiple support rods 5 are arranged sequentially in each cultivation chamber 4; multiple bases 6 are inserted between the support rods 5 on the same side; a cultivation frame 7 is inserted on the base 6, the cultivation frame 7 is used to place the mushroom spawn, and multiple drainage holes 71 communicating with the bases 6 are opened on the cultivation frame 7; a spray unit 8 is provided on the support frame 2, the spray unit 8 includes a spray element 81 arranged above the support frame 2, and multiple nozzles 82 arranged above the spray element 81, the nozzles 82 being located above the corresponding cultivation frames 7.
[0032] The frame 1 serves as the supporting structure for the entire culture device, with multiple support frames 2 arranged sequentially from top to bottom on it, providing space for layered placement of the strains for culture.
[0033] Each support frame 2 is equipped with a cross-shaped partition 3, which divides the support frame 2 into four culture rooms 4, further refining the culture area and facilitating the classification and management of different strains or strains at different culture stages.
[0034] Multiple support rods 5 are sequentially set in each culture chamber 4, and multiple bases 6 are inserted between the support rods 5 on the same side. Culture frames 7 are installed on the bases 6 by insertion, forming a stable structure for placing the strains, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.
[0035] The inoculum is placed in the culture frame 7, which provides a relatively independent growth space for the inoculum, making it easier to handle and inspect in the future, and effectively preventing the inoculum bags from blocking each other.
[0036] The spray unit 8 provides water and nutrients to the microorganisms. Multiple nozzles 82 are installed above the corresponding culture frames 7. When watering or nutrient replenishment is needed, liquids such as water or nutrient solution are evenly sprayed from the nozzles 82 into the culture frames 7 below, providing the microorganisms with the water and nutrients required for growth.
[0037] Multiple drainage holes 71 are connected to the substrate 6. When there is too much water or nutrient solution sprayed, the excess water will flow into the substrate 6 through the drainage holes 71, preventing water from accumulating in the culture frame 7 and ensuring the suitability of the growth environment for the strain.
[0038] By cooperating with the frame 1, the support frame 2 and the cross-shaped partition 3, the support frame 2 can be divided into four culture rooms 4, which avoids excessive mutual shading between strains, improves ventilation and lighting conditions, and allows the strains in each culture room 4 to obtain relatively uniform ventilation and lighting, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the strains and reduces the growth differences caused by uneven ventilation and lighting.
[0039] The use of the culture frame 7 and the base 6 together makes it easier for staff to pick up, turn over and inspect the strains. They can easily operate on specific strains without interfering with other strains, making the operation more convenient. In addition, the culture frame 7 and the base 6 are installed by plugging in, which facilitates disassembly and assembly.
[0040] The spray unit 8 can evenly spray water and nutrients onto the inoculum in the culture frame 7. The drainage holes 71 on the culture frame 7 can drain excess water in time, preventing water from accumulating in the culture frame 7. This ensures that the inoculum can obtain sufficient and appropriate water and nutrients, which is conducive to the balanced growth of the inoculum.
[0041] Multiple support frames 2 are set on the frame 1, and each support frame 2 is further divided into four culture rooms 4 by cross-shaped partition plates 3, forming a multi-level and multi-regional culture space, which greatly improves the space utilization rate and can cultivate more strains in a limited space to meet the needs of large-scale strain cultivation.
[0042] Specifically, the frame 1 described in this embodiment includes four rectangular columns 11, and a rectangular steel frame 12 is provided between the tops of the four columns 11.
[0043] Four columns 11 form the vertical support structure of the frame 1. A rectangular steel frame 12 is set between the tops of the four columns 11 to form an overall frame structure. The rectangular steel frame 12 enhances the rigidity and deformation resistance of the top of the frame 1.
[0044] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the support frame 2 includes a rectangular frame plate 21 and a fixing cylinder 22 disposed on the four legs of the rectangular frame plate 21. The fixing cylinder 22 is sleeved on the corresponding column 11 and the fixing cylinder 22 is slidably engaged with the column 11. The column 11 has multiple insertion holes, and a positioning rod 23 is inserted into the insertion holes. The positioning rod 23 supports the fixing cylinder 22.
[0045] The rectangular frame plate 21 serves as the main support, while the four fixed cylinders 22 at its four feet provide connection and positioning. When installing the support frame 2, the fixed cylinders 22 are fitted onto the corresponding columns 11. Due to the sliding fit between the fixed cylinders 22 and the columns 11, the support frame 2 can slide up and down along the columns 11, thus facilitating the adjustment of the height of the support frame 2 on the frame 1 to meet the space requirements of different growth stages of the microbial strains.
[0046] Multiple insertion holes are provided on the column 11. When the support frame 2 slides to a suitable height, the positioning rod 23 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole to support the fixing cylinder 22, preventing the support frame 2 from sliding down further, thereby fixing the support frame 2 at that height. By inserting the positioning rod 23 into the insertion holes at different heights, the spacing between the various support frames 2 can be flexibly adjusted to achieve a reasonable allocation of the cultivation space.
[0047] The support frame 2 can slide up and down along the column 11 and its height can be fixed by the positioning rod 23, so that the staff can flexibly adjust the spacing between the support frames 2 according to the growth characteristics of different strains and the needs of different growth stages.
[0048] In the early stages of bacterial growth, when the bacterial culture is small, the spacing between the support frames 2 can be appropriately reduced and the number of support frames 2 increased, thereby placing more culture frames 7 and improving space utilization. In the later stages of bacterial growth, when the bacterial culture increases in size, more growth space is required. At this time, the spacing between the support frames 2 can be increased to provide sufficient growth environment for the bacterial culture.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, further, two guide rods are arranged opposite each other at the bottom of the rectangular steel frame 12, and two insertion holes are opened opposite each other on the rectangular frame plate 21. The guide rods are inserted into the insertion holes to guide the rectangular frame plate 21.
[0050] Guided by the guide rod, the support frame 2 can move smoothly along the guide rod, and the fixed cylinder 22 is sleeved on the corresponding column 11 to complete the installation and positioning of the support frame 2.
[0051] The guide rod plays a guiding role in the socket, ensuring that the support frame 2 remains stable when moving up and down, without shifting or shaking, so that the support frame 2 can be accurately moved to the target height position.
[0052] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the base 6 in this embodiment is a long strip-shaped box with an opening at the top;
[0053] A rectangular enclosure 61 is provided below the base 6, and multiple positioning cylinders 62 located inside the rectangular enclosure 61 are provided at the bottom of the base 6. The rectangular enclosure 61 and the positioning cylinders 62 are at the same height. Multiple insertion rods 51 are provided above the support rod 5, and the positioning cylinders 62 are inserted into the corresponding insertion rods 51. Multiple bases 6 on the same side are distributed along the length of the support rod 5.
[0054] During installation, align the positioning cylinder 62 of the base 6 with the corresponding insertion rod 51 on the support rod 5, and then insert the positioning cylinder 62 into the insertion rod 51 to complete the installation of the base 6 on the support rod 5. The operation is simple and direct, and multiple bases 6 can be quickly installed on the support rod 5, which greatly shortens the installation time and improves work efficiency.
[0055] The rectangular enclosure 61 surrounds the bottom of the base 6 and is at the same height as the positioning cylinder 62. It provides a certain degree of protection for the base 6, preventing the bottom of the base 6 from being directly hit by external objects. It also supports the bottom of the base 6 and enhances the stability of the base 6 during installation.
[0056] The number and spacing of the substrates 6 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, at different stages of cultivar growth, the number of substrates 6 can be increased or decreased, and the spacing between substrates 6 can be adjusted according to the size and growth requirements of the cultivar, so as to make full use of space and increase the planting density and yield of the cultivar.
[0057] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the culture frame 7 includes a base 73 and a culture box 72 connected to each other. The base 73 is rectangular and has an open bottom. The base 73 is inserted into the base 6. The culture box 72 has an open top and a plurality of drainage holes 71 are formed on the culture box 72. An absorbent cotton rope 74 is inserted inside the culture box 72, and the bottom end of the absorbent cotton rope 74 extends to the base 6.
[0058] During installation, the base 73 is aligned with the corresponding position on the base 6 and inserted. The culture frame 7 can be stably placed on the base 6 without easily shaking or shifting, providing a stable support platform for the growth of the strain.
[0059] The culture box 72 is used to hold culture medium and inoculum, and its opening at the top facilitates the addition of culture medium, inoculation of inoculum, and subsequent operations.
[0060] The multiple drainage holes 71 on the culture box 72 can drain excess water in a timely manner when watering or during the growth of the microorganisms, preventing water accumulation in the culture medium.
[0061] The absorbent cotton rope 74 can use its capillary action to absorb water from the substrate 6 and slowly transfer it to the culture medium inside the culture box 72, providing a continuous and stable water supply for the culture medium and the strain, and ensuring the water conditions required for the growth of the strain.
[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the spraying component 81 includes spray pipes 811 disposed opposite each other on the support frame 2, the two spray pipes 811 being connected by a pipe 812, a liquid supply interface 813 being provided on one side of the spray pipe 811, a plurality of liquid supply pipes 814 being provided at the bottom of the spray pipe 811 above the corresponding culture frame 7, the nozzle 82 being connected to the lower end of the liquid supply pipe 814, and a valve being provided on the liquid supply pipe 814.
[0063] Two spray pipes 811 on the same side are connected by pipe 812 to form a whole liquid supply channel.
[0064] One of the spray pipes 811 has a liquid supply port 813 for connecting to external liquid supply equipment, such as a pump and a nutrient solution storage tank. When the external liquid supply equipment is started, liquids such as water and nutrient solution will enter one of the spray pipes 811 through the liquid supply port 813, and then flow to the other spray pipe 811 through the pipe 812, so as to realize the liquid communication between the two spray pipes 811.
[0065] The bottom of each spray pipe 811 is equipped with multiple liquid supply pipes 814 located above the corresponding culture frame 7. Liquid flows from the spray pipe 811 into the liquid supply pipe 814 and is sprayed out through the nozzle 82, evenly sprinkling onto the culture frame 7 below, providing moisture and nutrients to the bacteria in the culture frame 7.
[0066] The valve installed on the liquid supply pipe 814 can control the liquid flow rate through the liquid supply pipe 814. According to the growth requirements of different bacterial strains in different culture frames 7, the humidity of the culture medium, and other factors, the staff can adjust the spray volume of each nozzle 82 by adjusting the valve, or directly close it, to achieve precise liquid supply to different culture frames 7.
