Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Cordyceps sinensis cultivation technology, and more specifically to a device for artificial cultivation of Cordyceps sinensis. Background Technology

[0002] Cordyceps sinensis is a fungus (Cordyceps militaris) belonging to the genus Cordyceps in the family Clavicipitaceae, forming a fungus-insect fusion with the larva of the ghost moth (Hepialus hepiali) under specific conditions. Cordyceps sinensis is a traditional Chinese medicine that tonifies the lungs and kidneys, helping to enhance immunity, relieve fatigue, and improve respiratory function. It is commonly used to treat symptoms such as physical weakness, chronic cough and asthma, and lower back and knee pain. It is a special structure formed by the wintering fungus parasitizing the larvae of the ghost moth, mainly growing in alpine meadow regions at altitudes above 3000-5000 meters in Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, and Yunnan. Wild Cordyceps sinensis has a growth cycle of 2-3 years, with an average annual yield of less than 500 grams per hectare of grassland. Over-harvesting has led to the degradation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau meadows, with biomass decreasing by more than 40% in some areas. Post-harvesting storage requires strict control of temperature and humidity (0-10℃, 50%-60% humidity), and it can be stored under vacuum for a maximum of 5 years.

[0003] Therefore, Cordyceps sinensis is currently cultivated artificially. The main existing cultivation method is as follows: culture soil for cultivating ghost moth larvae is filled into a cultivation device (usually a culture vessel or incubator). The ghost moth larvae are then sterilized, and a fungal inoculum is injected into the sterilized ghost moth larvae. The ghost moth larvae with the inoculum are then placed into the culture soil in the culture vessel. Finally, the culture vessel containing the ghost moth larvae is placed in a temperature- and humidity-controlled cultivation room for cultivation.

[0004] The temperature requirements for each stage of Cordyceps sinensis growth are different, and artificial cultivation devices need to intelligently control the temperature; artificial cultivation devices need to have a humidity control module to adjust the air humidity; artificial cultivation devices need to have intelligent light source control function. Currently, existing Cordyceps sinensis cultivation methods cannot adjust the position of the cultivation tank to facilitate the discharge of Cordyceps sinensis, nor can they confirm the length of the Cordyceps sinensis when it is discharged.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a Cordyceps sinensis artificial cultivation device that can intelligently regulate temperature and light intensity, maintain air humidity and water content of the culture medium, and improve space utilization efficiency is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.
