Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi cultivation equipment technology, and in particular to an edible fungi cultivation box. Background Technology

[0002] In edible mushroom cultivation, culture boxes are containers used to hold culture media and provide for mycelial growth and fruiting body development. The most commonly used type is made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), which are lightweight, resistant to autoclaving (some models), highly transparent (for easy observation of mycelial growth), and reusable. Some models have ventilation holes or can be fitted with ventilation covers to facilitate the adjustment of humidity and gas exchange inside the box.

[0003] In the cultivation of edible fungi, water is an important component of fungal cells and the basis for mycelium to absorb nutrients and carry out metabolic activities (such as enzymatic hydrolysis and substance transport). It also maintains the humidity of the cultivation environment, ensuring normal mycelial growth and fruiting body development (the water content of fruiting bodies is usually 85% to 95%). However, the existing edible fungi cultivation boxes have a relatively simple structure and do not have a dedicated water replenishment mechanism, making water supply inconvenient. This can easily lead to insufficient water in the cultivation box, affecting the normal growth of mycelium. In severe cases, it can cause mycelium to die due to lack of water and drought, resulting in cultivation failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an edible fungus cultivation box to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The box shell has a cover groove. A diversion boss is fixedly installed in the round opening of the culture medium plate. The diversion boss has several water supply channels. The culture chamber is connected to the threaded bottom chamber through the several water supply channels on the diversion boss.

[0008] A ventilated cover that inserts into a slot on the box shell;

[0009] A liquid storage box is threadedly installed in the threaded bottom cavity of a box shell, and has a liquid storage chamber therein, which stores water.

[0010] The piston assembly is located between the distribution boss and the liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage box. By pulling the piston assembly upward, the water stored in the liquid storage chamber can be squeezed into the culture chamber through several water replenishment channels on the distribution boss, providing water for the cultivation of edible fungi in the culture chamber.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the diversion boss has a circular protrusion, the diversion boss has a tapered slope, the diversion boss has a rod hole, and the inner wall of the rod hole is provided with a first sealing ring.

[0012] Preferably, the vent cover has a cover opening, the inner wall of the cover opening is provided with a second sealing ring, the circular protrusion at the top of the diverting boss is sealed and inserted into the inner wall of the second sealing ring, and the vent cover has multiple vent holes.

[0013] Preferably, the piston assembly includes:

[0014] A piston disc is movably installed in the liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage box. The outer wall of the piston disc has a rubber ring, and the rubber ring on the outer wall of the piston disc is sealed and fitted into the liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage box.

[0015] The connecting rod has one end fixedly installed on the top side of the piston plate, and the other end movably passes through the rod hole of the diverter boss and has a threaded groove.

[0016] The screw disc has a screw on its bottom side, and the screw thread on its bottom side is installed in the threaded groove at the top of the connecting rod.

[0017] Preferably, a third sealing ring is provided on the top side of the liquid storage box, and the third sealing ring on the top side of the liquid storage box is sealed and attached to the bottom side of the culture medium plate.

[0019] Preferably, the outer wall of the housing has a liquid level scale, and the initial zero value of the liquid level scale on the outer wall of the housing is level with the top side of the piston disc in the liquid storage chamber on the liquid storage box.

[0020] This application provides water for the cultivation of edible fungi in the culture medium plate on the box shell. The vent cover is removed from the box shell, and by pulling the screw plate upwards, the connecting rod moves the piston plate upwards within the storage chamber of the storage box. This allows water stored in the storage chamber to be squeezed into the culture chamber through several water replenishment channels on the distribution protrusion. The water then flows evenly across the culture medium plate via the conical slope on the distribution protrusion, providing water for the cultivation of edible fungi in the culture chamber. Once the piston plate returns to its original position, the amount of water replenished to the culture chamber can be determined by observing the water level change, ensuring the normal growth of mycelium within the culture chamber. The operation is simple. Attached Figure Description
