Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mushroom technology, and more specifically, to a small-scale simulation chamber for mushroom growth environment. Background Technology

[0002] King oyster mushroom is an edible mushroom that grows in the Mediterranean region of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and also in parts of Asia. It is named for its almond-like aroma and thick, abalone-like texture. The cultivation process of king oyster mushroom is roughly the same as that of conventional edible mushrooms. First, the mushroom bags are inoculated and then placed in a mushroom house for cultivation and growth.

[0003] In actual use, when humidifying the simulated room for growing king oyster mushrooms, the sprayed water will fully dissipate into the air and cannot effectively enter the culture medium, which will lead to insufficient humidity and relative dryness at the roots of the king oyster mushrooms, affecting their normal growth. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a small-scale simulation chamber for mushroom growth environment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A small-scale simulation chamber for mushroom growth includes an outer shell with a cover hinged to its front side. A water tank is fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer shell, and a water inlet pipe is connected to the top of the water tank. A humidification mechanism is installed inside the outer shell. The humidification mechanism includes multiple electric actuators, the outer sides of which are fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer shell. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each electric actuator. Two flexible hoses are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate. One end of each hose penetrates the inner side of the outer shell and extends to the outer side. A pump is fixedly connected to one end of each hose. A suction pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the pump. The outer side of the suction pipe penetrates the inner side of the water tank and extends into the water tank. Air holes are opened on the outer side of the movable plate, and multiple cavities are opened on the inner side of the movable plate. Multiple insertion tubes are connected to the lower surface of each cavity, and baffles are fixedly connected to the bottom of each insertion tube. A ventilation mechanism is installed inside the outer shell.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple electric push rods are used to raise and lower the movable plate, which allows the movable plate to drive multiple insertion tubes and baffles to be inserted into the culture medium. This allows water to be effectively injected and humidified into the root system of the king oyster mushroom inside the culture medium, maintaining the humidity inside the culture medium within a suitable range.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: two bases are fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer shell, a placement frame is snapped into the inner side of the base, and a culture medium is disposed inside the placement frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, using a removable placement frame and culture medium, it is convenient for staff to observe and cultivate king oyster mushrooms.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the ventilation mechanism includes multiple air inlet slots, the air inlet slots are provided inside the outer shell, two heating elements are fixedly connected to the inner shell, two humidity sensors and a temperature sensor are installed inside the inner shell, an air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell, and a fan is installed inside the air inlet pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution: using a fan to continuously input fresh air into the interior of the casing, and dispersing the fresh air into the interior of the casing through multiple air holes on the inner side of the movable plate, and expelling the carbon dioxide accumulated inside the casing through multiple air inlets, the interior of the casing maintains effective air circulation.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting up a humidification mechanism, compared with the existing technology, multiple liftable tubes and baffles are used to directly inject water into the culture medium, avoiding water loss into the air during surface spraying. This ensures that water is directly supplied to the lower part of the culture medium where the mycelium is most active and needs water the most, avoiding ineffective irrigation, improving water use efficiency, and maintaining the normal growth of king oyster mushrooms. 2. By setting up a ventilation system, compared with existing technologies, the air intake pipe and multiple air intake slots are used to allow air to flow fully through the cultivation area, forming a full circulation. This reduces the temperature and humidity differences between different locations in the simulated room, and the forced circulation avoids excessive local carbon dioxide accumulation, making the gas concentration in the entire simulated room more uniform and ensuring the consistency of the growth conditions for king oyster mushrooms.

[0019] 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.

[0020] The embodiments disclosed in this application are as follows: Figure 1-6 The small-scale simulation chamber for mushroom growth shown includes an outer shell 1, with a cover plate 2 hinged to the front of the outer shell 1. A water tank 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer shell 1, and a water inlet pipe 4 is connected to the top of the water tank 3. A humidification mechanism is installed inside the outer shell 1. The humidification mechanism includes multiple electric push rods 13, with the outer sides of the electric push rods 13 fixedly connected to the inside of the outer shell 1. A movable plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rods 13, and two hoses 7 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 8. One end of each hose 7 passes through the inside of the outer shell 1 and extends to the outside of the outer shell 1, while the other end of each hose 7 is fixedly connected to a pump 6. The input end of the machine 6 is fixedly connected to a water suction pipe 5. The outer side of the water suction pipe 5 passes through the inner side of the water tank 3 and extends into the interior of the water tank 3. The outer side of the movable plate 8 is provided with an air hole 9, and the inner side of the movable plate 8 is provided with multiple cavities 10. Multiple insertion tubes 11 are connected to the lower surface of the cavity 10. A baffle 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the insertion tube 11. A ventilation mechanism is provided inside the outer shell 1. Multiple electric push rods 13 are used to raise and lower the movable plate 8, the insertion tubes 11 and the baffle 12, so that the multiple insertion tubes 11 can be inserted into the interior of the culture medium 16, so that the interior of the culture medium 16 maintains a suitable humidity.

[0021] Reference Figure 4 As shown, two bases 14 are fixedly connected to the inside of the outer shell 1. A placement frame 15 is snapped into the inside of the base 14. A culture medium 16 is placed inside the placement frame 15. By using the snapping of the placement frame 15 by the base 14, the placement frame 15 and the culture medium 16 can be removed from the inside of the outer shell 1, which is convenient for planting and observing king oyster mushrooms inside the culture medium 16.

[0022] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the ventilation mechanism includes multiple air inlet slots 17, which are located inside the outer casing 1. Two heating elements 18 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer casing 1. Two humidity sensors 19 and a temperature sensor 20 are installed inside the outer casing 1. An air inlet pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer casing 1. A fan 22 is installed inside the air inlet pipe 21. The fan 22 uses the fresh air filtered by the air inlet pipe 21 to be input to the top of the movable plate 8, and disperses and guides the fresh air into the interior of the outer casing 1 through multiple air holes 9, so that multiple streams of fresh air can effectively and continuously circulate air on the culture medium 16 and the surface of the king oyster mushroom.

[0023] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When cultivating king oyster mushrooms, first open the cover plate 2 and remove the placement frame 15 and culture medium 16 from the inside of the outer shell 1 and the two bases 14. Plant the king oyster mushrooms inside the culture medium 16, then put the placement frame 15 and culture medium 16 back into the outer shell 1. Secure the placement frame 15 with the two bases 14, and then close the cover plate 2. The temperature sensor 20 detects the temperature inside the outer shell 1. When the temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, the detected temperature signal is input to the external PID controller. The external PID controller then activates the two heating elements 18 to heat the inside of the outer shell 1 to a suitable temperature range. Then, the humidity sensor 19 detects the humidity inside the outer shell 1. When the humidity is below 60%, the detected humidity signal is input to the external PID controller, which then activates the two pumps. 6. Water stored in the water tank 3 is introduced into the hose 7 through the suction pipe 5. Then, the water enters the cavity 10 inside the movable plate 8 through the hose 7. Then, the water inside the cavity 10 is sprayed onto the top of the culture medium 16 through multiple insertion tubes 11 and baffles 12 at the bottom of the movable plate 8. Multiple electric push rods 13 can be used to push the movable plate 8 and multiple insertion tubes 11 and baffles 12 into the culture medium 16. The baffles 12 block the culture medium 16 to prevent the culture medium 16 from blocking the water outlet of the insertion tubes 11. Then, the water inside the cavity 10 is injected into the culture medium 16 through the insertion tubes 11 and baffles 12 to maintain a suitable humidity inside the culture medium 16. Finally, fresh air is introduced into the shell 1 through the fan 22 and the air inlet pipe 21, and the moisture and carbon dioxide inside the shell 1 are discharged out through multiple air inlet slots 17 to ensure air circulation inside the shell 1.
