[0019] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: like Figure 1-2 As shown, a mushroom growing rack for edible fungi includes a frame assembly 1, several placement components 2, and several lifting components 4. The frame assembly 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and a top plate 13. Fixed shafts 12 are provided at the four included corner positions between the top plate 13 and the bottom plate 11 to connect the top plate 13 and the bottom plate 11. Several placement components 2 are arranged on the fixed shafts 12. A vertical support shaft 3 is arranged between two fixed shafts 12, and several lifting components 4 are arranged on the support shaft 3 to lift the placement components 2.

[0021] like Figure 1-2As shown in this embodiment, five lower bases 111 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 11, and five upper bases 131 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the top plate 13. The lower bases 111 and the upper bases 131 are positioned corresponding to each other. Four upper bases 131 and four lower bases 111 are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the fixed shaft 12 by bolts, respectively. The other upper base 131 and lower base 111 are also fixed to the upper and lower ends of the support shaft 3 by bolts, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the mushroom rack, and then its handling and transportation.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown in this embodiment, the lower surface of the base plate 11 is provided with wheels for easy movement. The wheels have a locking function, which can fix the mushroom rack in place after it has been moved. The wheels are existing technology and will not be drawn or described in detail here.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the placement component 2 includes a placement frame 21 and a sliding ring 22. The placement frame 21 is provided with a mesh wire for placing edible mushrooms. The side of the sliding ring 22 has a connecting plate, which can be fixedly connected to the connecting plate on the side of the sliding ring 22 by bolts. The mesh wire is prior art and will not be drawn or described in detail here.

[0024] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a rack 31 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the support shaft 3, and the rack 31 is welded to the outer side of the support shaft 3.

[0025] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 4 includes a support frame 41 and a side cover 42. The side cover 42 is slidably disposed on the surface of the support shaft 3 opposite to the rack 31. The side cover 42 does not contact the rack 31. The support frame 41 is disposed at a position corresponding to the rack 31.

[0026] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in this embodiment, both the upper and lower ends of the support frame 41 and the side cover 42 are provided with a cover 411. The cover 411 is fixed to the support frame 41 and the side cover 42 by bolts, which makes it convenient for the support frame 41 and the side cover 42 to be installed on the support shaft 3. The support shaft 3 passes through the cover 411 and slides, and does not contact the rack 31.

[0027] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a rotating shaft 43 and a worm gear 433 are provided inside the support frame 41. Both the rotating shaft 43 and the worm gear 433 are rotatably arranged inside the support frame 41, and the worm gear 433 and the rotating shaft 43 are distributed perpendicularly to each other, without interfering with each other.

[0028] like Figure 4-5As shown, in this embodiment, a gear 431 that meshes with the rack 31 is fixedly provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 43, and a worm wheel 432 that meshes with the worm 433 is fixedly provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 43 away from the gear 431. Since the worm wheel 432 and the worm 433 have a self-locking function, they can effectively prevent the sudden rotation of the rotating shaft 43. When the worm 433 stops rotating, the support frame 41 will stop its lifting and lowering movement.

[0029] Specifically, the rotation of the worm gear 433 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 43, which in turn drives the rotation of the gear 431. Through the meshing of the gear 431 and the rack 31, the gear 431 can rotate to drive the support frame 41 to move up and down on the support shaft 3.

[0030] like Figure 4-5 As shown in this embodiment, an installation plate 421 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the side cover 42. The installation plate 421 is fixed to the connecting plate on the side of the placement frame 21 by bolts. The lifting and lowering movement of the support frame 41 drives the lifting and lowering movement of the placement frame 21, so that the placement frame 21 slides up and down on the surface of the fixed shaft 12 through the sliding ring 22. At the same time, it can make reasonable use of the space between the top plate 13 and the bottom plate 11 by several placement frames 21, and more reasonably arrange the number of edible mushrooms to be placed. Furthermore, the height of the uppermost placement frame 21 can be adjusted by the lifting and lowering movement of the placement frames 21, which facilitates the handling of edible mushrooms and reduces the labor intensity of the staff.

[0031] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a nut seat 412 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the support frame 41. The position of the nut seat 412 corresponds to the position of one end of the rotating shaft 43. A bolt hole 434 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 43. The position of the bolt hole 434 corresponds to the position of the thread groove of the nut seat 412. A bolt member 413 is provided on the outer side of the nut seat 412.

[0032] Specifically, the bolt component 413 has two bolt shafts with the same pitch. One part is threaded into the bolt hole 434, and the other part is threaded into the nut seat 412. This can provide a final limit for the rotating shaft 43. After the limit is fixed, the force of self-locking between the worm 433 and the worm wheel 432 can be reduced, thus extending the service life of the worm wheel 432 and the worm 433.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a hexagonal screw hole 435 is provided at one end of the worm gear 432 on the outer end face of the support frame 41, so that a matching hexagonal wrench can be used to turn the worm 433 to rotate, and then drive the rotating shaft 43 to rotate through the worm gear 432. The hexagonal wrench can be purchased on the market and does not need to be described in detail.
