Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button mushroom cultivation technology, specifically to an intelligent irrigation device for button mushroom cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Button mushrooms have silvery-white mycelium, grow at a moderate to fast rate, do not easily form a mycelial cap, and produce mostly solitary, round, white fruiting bodies without scales. The caps are thick and do not easily open. The stipes are moderately thick, relatively straight, and short. The flesh is white and firm, with a semi-membranous ring on the stipe. The spores are silvery-brown. Button mushrooms are one of the most common edible mushroom species. When cultivating button mushrooms, it is necessary to irrigate the culture medium composed of rice straw, wheat straw, chicken manure, cow manure, gypsum, etc., to ensure that the humidity of the culture medium is appropriate.

[0003] Chinese patent provides a watering device for mushroom cultivation, publication number CN207443759U, which includes a support column. A horizontally arranged cover plate is fixedly connected to the top of the support column. Two connecting rods are welded to the bottom of the cover plate. A horizontally arranged track rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rods. Rollers are rotatably installed on the track rod.

[0004] The device described above uses a cylinder to drive the water tank to move horizontally, watering the button mushrooms. The motor drives the rotation of the threaded rod, which in turn moves the horizontal plate on the threaded rod, thus enabling the water tank to move across the entire plane, achieving large-area watering, ensuring uniform irrigation, and saving water.

[0005] However, the water spray pipe is relatively simple to move and replenish water. Since the soil moisture of button mushrooms varies in different locations, concentrated watering may affect the normal growth of button mushrooms. In addition, it is difficult to water multiple locations at the same time by moving the water spray pipe, so its functionality is poor. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent irrigation device for mushroom cultivation, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A smart irrigation device for mushroom cultivation includes an irrigation component set above a culture medium base. The culture medium base has several cultivation pits, and the irrigation component has several water pipes and support rods, with the number of water pipes and support rods matching the number of cultivation pits.

[0009] The culture pit is filled with culture medium, and a humidity sensor is inserted into the top surface of the culture medium. A corrugated pipe is connected to the top of the water supply pipe at the center position. A first irrigation pipe is connected to the top of the corrugated pipe. Two branch pipes are connected to the end of the first irrigation pipe away from the corrugated pipe. Several atomizing nozzles are provided at the bottom of the two branch pipes. An irrigation solenoid valve that is compatible with the humidity sensor is provided at the connection between the first irrigation pipe and the corrugated pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the support rod is installed at the rear top of the culture medium holder, and a sliding clamp is slidably installed on the outer ring of the support rod, with the end of the sliding clamp away from the support rod being engaged with the outer ring of the bellows.

[0011] Preferably, the culture medium in the culture medium seat has several guide rods, and several air and water holes are opened on one side of the guide rods, with anti-clogging mesh installed in the lower air and water holes.

[0012] Preferably, the top surface of the guide rod is movably connected to a pull ring, the guide rod is a hollow cylinder, and the bottom end of the guide rod is connected to a tapered plug.

[0013] Preferably, the outer ring of the support rod is provided with an external thread, and the outer ring of the support rod is threaded with adjusting nuts at the upper and lower ends of the sliding clamp block, and the opposing surfaces of the two adjusting nuts are in contact with the upper and lower ends of the sliding clamp block.

[0014] Preferably, several water pipes are interconnected, and one end of one of the water pipes is connected to an external irrigation water pipe.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention, by setting up an irrigation component in conjunction with a culture medium base, allows for the detection of humidity in different culture pits of the culture medium base when irrigating the culture medium for growing button mushrooms. The irrigation solenoid valve controls the amount of irrigation to ensure even irrigation and avoid concentrated irrigation that results in excessive or insufficient water, thus facilitating the growth of button mushrooms and allowing for irrigation of multiple culture pits.

[0017] By setting up a guide rod in conjunction with the culture medium seat, the water flowing above the culture medium can enter the guide rod through the upper air and water inlet holes and seep out through the lower air and water inlet holes, thereby improving the uniformity of pouring. In addition, when not pouring, the multiple air and water inlet holes increase the air permeability of the culture medium, making it highly functional. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Combination Figures 1-3 A smart irrigation device for mushroom cultivation includes an irrigation component 2 set above a culture medium base 1. The culture medium base 1 has several culture pits, and the irrigation component 2 has several water pipes 3 and support rods 11, with the number of water pipes 3 and support rods 11 matching the number of culture pits.

[0025] See Figure 2Furthermore, the culture pit is filled with culture medium, and a humidity sensor 5 is inserted into the top surface of the culture medium. A corrugated pipe 6 is connected to the center of the top of the water supply pipe 3. A pouring pipe 7 is connected to the top of the corrugated pipe 6. Two branch pipes 9 are connected to the end of the pouring pipe 7 away from the corrugated pipe 6. Several atomizing nozzles 10 are provided at the bottom of each of the two branch pipes 9. A pouring solenoid valve 8 adapted to the humidity sensor 5 is provided at the connection between the pouring pipe 7 and the corrugated pipe 6. A support rod 11 is installed on the culture pit. At the rear top of the base 1, a sliding clamp 12 is slidably installed on the outer ring of the support rod 11. The end of the sliding clamp 12 away from the support rod 11 is clamped on the outer ring of the bellows 6. The outer ring of the support rod 11 has an external thread. The outer ring of the support rod 11 and the upper and lower ends of the sliding clamp 12 are threadedly connected to adjusting nuts 13. The opposing surfaces of the two adjusting nuts 13 are in contact with the upper and lower ends of the sliding clamp 12. Several water pipes 3 are connected to each other, and one end of one of the water pipes 3 is connected to an external irrigation water pipe.

[0026] Specifically, when watering the culture medium base 1, the water flow can be delivered to the corrugated pipe 6 by connecting the external water pipe to the water supply pipe 3. The water is then delivered to the watering pipe 7 and the branch pipe 9 through the corrugated pipe 6, so that the water can be atomized and sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle 10. During watering, the culture medium base 1 is divided into multiple culture pits, and each culture pit is equipped with a humidity sensor 5. The humidity sensor 5 can detect the humidity of the culture medium in the culture medium base 1, and control the opening or closing of the watering solenoid valve 8 at different positions through the humidity data, so as to intelligently control the watering volume and improve the watering uniformity. During the watering process, since the corrugated pipe 6 is slidably mounted on the support rod 11 through the sliding clamp 12, the watering height of the atomizing nozzle 10 can be adjusted by turning the adjusting nut 13, which provides high flexibility. The humidity sensor 5 is model SEN0601-RS485.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] See Figure 3 Furthermore, based on Example 1, the culture medium substrate inside the culture medium seat 1 is provided with several guide rods 4. Several air and water holes 14 are opened on one side of the guide rods 4, and anti-clogging mesh 15 is provided in the air and water holes 14 at the bottom. A pull ring is movably connected to the top surface of the guide rods 4. The guide rods 4 are hollow cylinders, and a conical plug is connected to the bottom end of the guide rods 4.

[0029] Specifically, by inserting the guide rod 4 into the culture medium in the culture medium seat 1, the water flowing from the upper part of the culture medium will enter the guide rod 4 through the air and water inlet 14 at the upper part of the guide rod 4 and seep out from the air and water inlet 14 at the lower part of the guide rod 4, thereby improving the uniformity of watering and assisting the culture medium in absorbing water. In addition, when not watering, the insertion of the guide rod 4 and the air and water inlet 14 will increase the air permeability of the culture medium, making it highly functional.

[0030] In actual operation, when watering the culture medium base 1, the water can be delivered to the corrugated pipe 6 by connecting the external water pipe to the water supply pipe 3, and then delivered to the watering pipe 7 and the branch pipe 9 through the corrugated pipe 6, so that the water can be atomized and sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle 10. During watering, the culture medium base 1 is divided into multiple culture pits, and each culture pit is equipped with a humidity sensor 5.

[0031] The humidity sensor 5 can detect the humidity of the culture medium in the culture medium base 1, and control the opening or closing of the watering solenoid valve 8 at different positions through the humidity data, so as to intelligently control the watering volume and improve the watering uniformity. During the watering process, since the corrugated pipe 6 is slidably installed on the support rod 11 through the sliding clamp 12, the watering height of the atomizing nozzle 10 can be adjusted by turning the adjusting nut 13, which provides high flexibility in use.

[0032] By inserting the guide rod 4 into the culture medium substrate in the culture medium seat 1, the water flow collected at the top of the culture medium substrate will enter the guide rod 4 through the air and water inlet 14 at the top of the guide rod 4 and seep out from the air and water inlet 14 at the bottom of the guide rod 4, thereby improving the uniformity of watering and assisting the culture medium substrate in absorbing water. In addition, when not watering, the insertion of the guide rod 4 and the air and water inlet 14 will increase the air permeability of the culture medium substrate, making it highly functional.

[0033] Furthermore, the detection components of the humidity sensor 5 and the control components and modules of the irrigation solenoid valve 8 mentioned above are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve improvements to the software and power supply.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
