[0025] Example

[0026] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model proposes a foldable edible mushroom cultivation rack, including a base 1, on which a vertical plate 2 is fixedly installed. The vertical plate 2 is hollow, with a through groove at its bottom. A storage basket 9 is slidably installed in the through groove. Edible mushrooms that are harvested and pushed into the vertical plate 2 can fall into the storage basket 9. Handles 10 are fixedly installed on both sides of the storage basket 9. Pulling the handles 10 can pull the storage basket 9 out of the through groove. A rubber sleeve with anti-slip texture is fixedly installed on the handle 10. The anti-slip texture increases friction and anti-slip properties, ensuring a stable grip and pulling for the user. Several cultivation boards 4 are hinged to both sides of the vertical plate 2. Multiple ventilation holes 7 are opened at the bottom of the cultivation boards 4. This meets the oxygen requirements for the growth of edible mushrooms, promotes respiration, and prevents hypoxia, especially ensuring oxygen supply in dense cultivation and multi-layer cultivation racks. Several evenly distributed partitions 5 are fixedly installed on the cultivation boards 4 for easy management, dividing the growth space for individual edible mushrooms to avoid entanglement, and facilitating observation and recording of growth status.

[0027] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in this example, a hinged folding assembly 3 is provided between the bottom ends of the upright plate 2 and the cultivation plate 4. The hinged folding assembly 3 includes two fixed plates 31 fixedly installed on the upright plate 2 and a hinge plate 33 fixedly installed on the bottom of the cultivation plate 4. The upper ends of the two fixed plates are threaded with through bolts 32. The hinge plate 33 is located between the fixed plates 31. A straight groove 34 is provided on the hinge plate 33. The bottom corner of the hinge plate 33 near the upright plate 2 is rounded. The bolts 32 pass through the straight groove 34 and slide against the inner wall of the straight groove 34. When the cultivation rack is not in use, the cultivation plate 4 is lifted so that the hinge plate 33 is lifted accordingly. The bolts 32 reach the bottom of the straight groove. At this time, the cultivation plate 4 is rotated downward along the bolts 32 to fold the cultivation plate against the upright plate 2, thereby reducing the space occupied by the cultivation rack.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the cultivation board 4 is further provided with a pushing and cutting mechanism 6. The pushing and cutting mechanism 6 includes motors 61 fixedly installed at both ends of the cultivation board 4 on the side away from the upright plate 2. Fixing blocks 66 are fixedly installed at both ends of the cultivation board 4 on the side away from the upright plate 2, and the motors 61 are fixedly installed on the fixing blocks 66. Long grooves 11 are opened on both sides of the cultivation board 4. A threaded rod 62 is rotatably connected to the side of the long groove 11 near the upright plate 2. One end of the threaded rod 62 rotatably passes through the cultivation board 4 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 61. When the motor 61 is started, it drives the threaded rod 62 to rotate. A slider 63 is threaded on the threaded rod. The rotation of the threaded rod 62 drives the slider 63 to move towards the upright plate 2. The top of the sliders 63 at both ends of the cultivation board 4 is fixedly connected to the same push plate 64. A long blade 65 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the push plate 64 on the side near the upright plate 2. The movement of the slider 63 drives the push plate 64 and the long blade 65 to move towards the upright plate 2. The upright plate 2 has rectangular grooves 8 on both sides corresponding to the push plate 64. The height of the rectangular grooves 8 is higher than that of the push plate 64, so that the push plate 64 and the long blade 65 can smoothly push the edible fungi from the rectangular grooves 8 into the upright plate 2.

[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the edible fungi mature and need to be harvested, the motor 61 is started to drive the threaded rod 62 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 62 drives the slider 63 to move towards the upright plate 2. The movement of the slider 63 drives the push plate 64 and the long blade 65 to move towards the upright plate 2, thereby cutting off the edible fungi and pushing them into the rectangular groove 8 on the upright plate 2. The harvested edible fungi can fall into the storage basket 9. After harvesting, the handle 10 can be pulled out of the groove. No manual harvesting is required, saving labor, improving ease of use, and increasing harvesting efficiency. It avoids the problem of bacteria being brought into the cultivation area during manual harvesting, providing a healthy environment for the growth of the next batch of edible fungi. When the cultivation rack is not in use, the cultivation plate 4 is lifted, and the hinge plate 33 is lifted accordingly. The bolt 32 reaches the bottom of the straight groove. At this time, the cultivation plate 4 is rotated downward along the bolt 32, so that the cultivation plate can be folded and rest against the upright plate 2, reducing the space occupied by the cultivation rack.

[0030] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
