Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cordyceps spore collection technology, and in particular to a cordyceps spore collection device. Background Technology

[0002] When ghost moth larvae encounter cordyceps spores, under suitable conditions, the fungal spores attached to the larvae germinate and germinate, invading the larvae's body and forming fungal hyphae and sclerotia inside, which then grow into small plants the following year. Therefore, in the artificial cultivation of Cordyceps sinensis, it is essential to collect a sufficient number of cordyceps spores to increase the success rate of invasion into the ghost moth larvae. The traditional collection method involves manually bagging the Cordyceps, which is inefficient and laborious.

[0003] In the existing technology, Cordyceps sinensis is first fixed, then the fruiting body of the Cordyceps sinensis is inverted downwards, and then a flow of sterile water is placed below the Cordyceps sinensis, so that the spores sprayed out by the fruiting body are in the water. Then the spores are filtered and collected. Because a large number of Cordyceps sinensis are inverted, with the fruiting body facing downwards, after the natural spraying of the fruiting body, some spores will fall back onto the remaining Cordyceps sinensis, or float in the space above the sterile water, making it impossible to completely recover the spores. As a result, some spores cannot be recovered, and secondary processing of the Cordyceps sinensis is required later.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing cordyceps spore collection devices lack disinfection functions, which cannot prevent other bacteria from contaminating the spores. Furthermore, during the cultivation of cordyceps, it is difficult to guarantee the environmental requirements for the growth process of cordyceps and promote spore release.

[0005] Developing a Cordyceps sinensis spore collection device that can distinguish and collect fruiting bodies separately, ensure sterility during the collection process and meet the temperature requirements after the fruiting bodies are confined, and promote spore ejection, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Cordyceps sinensis spore collection device to solve the problems listed in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model discloses a Cordyceps sinensis spore collection device, including an upper cover and a collection chamber. The upper cover is hinged to the collection chamber via a hinge. A PLC controller is installed on the upper surface of the upper cover, and an adjustment component is installed on the lower surface of the upper cover. A sealing strip is installed at the opening edge of the upper cover.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a thermometer, which is mounted on the upper surface of the support plate of the support assembly and is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0015] Preferably, the support assembly includes an inlet pipe, a support plate, and a collection pipe, wherein the support plate has an insertion through hole and the interior of the support plate is hollow;

[0016] The lower surface of the support plate is sealed to the upper opening of the manifold, and the insertion through hole corresponds to the position of the manifold.

[0017] The lower surface of the support plate is also provided with fine water spray holes, and the fine water spray holes are distributed within the upper opening range of the collecting pipe.

[0018] Preferably, the size of the liquid inlet pipe matches that of the receiving tank.

[0019] Preferably, the manifold is made of a transparent material.

[0024] The connector tube is inserted into the connector through hole.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] This utility model discloses a Cordyceps sinensis spore collection device, which can disinfect the internal environment with ultraviolet light before collection to avoid the adverse effects of miscellaneous bacteria on spore collection and subsequent inoculation. Moreover, there is no disinfectant residue during the disinfection process, which ensures the quality of spore collection. The device also uses an electric heating wire and a temperature sensor to maintain the internal temperature, which promotes the ejection of spores from the fruiting bodies and improves the spore collection efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0040] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a Cordyceps sinensis spore collection device includes an upper cover 1 and a collection chamber 2. The upper cover 1 is hinged to the collection chamber 2 via a hinge 6. A PLC controller 5 is installed on the upper surface of the upper cover 1, and an adjustment component is installed on the lower surface of the upper cover 1. A sealing strip 10 is installed at the opening edge of the upper cover 1. When the upper cover and the collection chamber are fastened together, the sealing strip can ensure the internal sealing performance and prevent the external environment from adversely affecting the internal environment of the collection device.

[0041] The upper opening of the collection chamber 2 is equipped with a support component, and a cordyceps limiter 12 is sealed and inserted into the support component.

[0042] An electronic scale 3 is installed on the lower surface of the collection chamber 2, and a drain pipe 4 is installed on one side wall of the collection chamber 2. An electromagnetic control valve is installed on the drain pipe 4.

[0043] A receiving groove is provided on the other side wall of the collection chamber 2;

[0044] When the weight measured by the electronic scale reaches the preset maximum value, the supply of sterile water to the collection chamber is stopped to prevent the sterile water containing spores from overflowing. The electromagnetic control valve is then opened to transfer the sterile water containing spores to the storage container through the drain pipe, thus achieving automated control of the collection process.

[0045] Specifically, the control component includes a heating wire 7 and a UVC lamp 8. The UVC lamp 8 is installed at the center of the lower surface of the upper cover 1, and the heating wire 7 is installed on opposite sides of the lower surface of the upper cover 1.

[0046] The heating wire 7 and the UVC lamp 8 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 5;

[0047] The heating wire provides a suitable temperature for the fruiting body, promoting the ejection of spores. The UVC lamp disinfects the inside of the collection device before spore collection, preventing residual bacteria from adversely affecting spore collection. Ultraviolet disinfection leaves no residue after disinfection, ensuring that the quality of the collected spores is not affected by other disinfectants.

[0048] Specifically, it also includes a thermometer, which is installed on the upper surface of the support plate 11 of the support assembly. The thermometer is electrically connected to the PLC controller 5 and can control the working time of the heating wire to keep the internal temperature of the collecting device at 20°C.

[0049] Specifically, the support assembly includes an inlet pipe 9, a support plate 11, and a collection pipe 13. The support plate 11 has an insertion through hole, and the interior of the support plate 11 is hollow to facilitate the flow of sterile water inside the support plate.

[0050] The lower surface of the support plate 11 is sealed to the upper opening of the collection tube 13, and the insertion through hole corresponds to the position of the collection tube 13. After the cordyceps sinensis is fixed by the cordyceps limiter, when it is inserted into the support plate, the fruiting body faces the collection tube. The ejected spores will adhere to the inner wall of the collection tube, which facilitates the collection of spores and avoids the spores from adhering to other fruiting bodies during the ejection process, thus affecting the spore collection operation.

[0051] The lower surface of the support plate 11 is also provided with fine water spray holes, which are distributed within the upper opening range of the collecting pipe 13. Sterile water is sprayed into the inside of the collecting pipe through the fine water spray holes to wash away the spores attached to the inner wall of the collecting pipe and the lower surface of the support plate, and the water flows into the inside of the collection chamber to ensure the spore collection effect.

[0052] Specifically, the dimensions of the inlet pipe 9 are matched with those of the receiving tank.

[0053] Specifically, the manifold 13 is made of a transparent material.

[0054] Specifically, a limiting block 14 is installed on the inner wall of the collection chamber 2, and the upper surface of the limiting block 14 abuts against the lower surface of the support plate 11.

[0055] A CCD camera is mounted on the limiting block 14, and the CCD camera faces the collecting pipe 13.

[0056] The CCD camera is electrically connected to the PLC controller 5;

[0057] When the CCD camera observes a certain number of white spores attached to the inner wall of the collecting pipe, it sends a signal to the PLC controller, which then controls the external water pump assembly to supply water to the inside of the support plate through the inlet pipe, thereby flushing and collecting the spores on the inner wall of the collecting pipe.

[0058] Specifically, the cordyceps limiter 12 includes an inflation head 1201, a limiting tube 1202, and a insertion tube 1203. An air bladder is installed on the inner side wall of the limiting tube 1202. The inflation head 1201 is installed at the upper end of the limiting tube 1202, and the air bladder is connected to the inflation head 1201. The insertion tube 1203 is connected to the lower opening of the limiting tube 1202.

[0059] The insertion tube 1203 is inserted into the insertion through hole;

[0060] When using it, the insect body of the Cordyceps sinensis is covered with sterile cloth, and nutrients are sprayed onto the sterile cloth. The insect body is then inserted into the limiting tube, and air is inflated into the air bladder inside the limiting tube through the air inflator. The air bladder expands into the insect body to fix it in place. The tube is then inserted into the support plate, allowing the fruiting body to extend into the internal space of the collecting tube, preventing spores from spilling out.
