Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mushroom cultivation rack technology, specifically a basalt fiber reinforced mushroom cultivation rack. Background Technology

[0002] Mushrooms are a type of fungus. They are rich in nutrients, containing high protein and low fat, and are rich in essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins and polysaccharides. They have both medicinal and edible properties. Regular consumption of mushrooms can effectively promote the absorption of nutrients from other foods. In most parts of my country, mushrooms are cultivated artificially on cultivation racks, which can meet market demand in a short period of time.

[0003] However, the current cultivation racks have the following problems: (1) In order to increase the yield of mushrooms, irrigation is usually required. Since there are multiple planting areas, in order to irrigate all the mushrooms, it is necessary to install sprinkler pipes in each planting area. Too many sprinkler pipes will increase the installation cost on the one hand, and form a complicated pipeline on the other hand, affecting the limited space; (2) After the irrigation water seeps in, it cannot be collected, filtered and reused, which leads to the waste of water resources; (3) The frame is generally made of metal materials, while the mushroom cultivation environment is high temperature and high humidity, and the fermentation process of the culture medium may produce corrosive substances (such as ammonia and organic acids), which makes the metal frame very easy to rust and corrode, shortening its service life, requiring frequent maintenance or replacement, and increasing costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a basalt fiber reinforced mushroom cultivation rack, which solves the problems of easy corrosion of current cultivation racks and difficulty in recycling and reusing irrigation water.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A basalt fiber mushroom cultivation rack includes a frame made of basalt fiber material, with multiple planting areas on the frame. Each planting area has several planting troughs, and the bottom of the planting troughs has drainage holes. A box is located below the frame, with one side of the box extending outside the frame. A collection port is located at the top of the box below the frame. An outward-sloping ramp is located inside the box below the frame. A filter screen and a filter element are arranged sequentially inside the box near the ramp. A water pump is installed on the side of the box away from the frame. The inlet of the water pump is connected to the box via a pipe, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to a water outlet pipe. An extension rod is connected to the upper part of the frame, and a top plate opposite the box is connected to the extension rod. A lifting mechanism is provided on the top plate and the box. An electric telescopic rod is installed on the lifting mechanism, and a spraying mechanism is installed on the electric telescopic rod. The spraying mechanism is connected to the water outlet pipe via a flexible hose.

[0007] Preferably, the frame includes four rectangular columns, with multiple upper and lower crossbeams connecting the two columns at each end. The upper and lower adjacent crossbeams are connected by tie rods, and the crossbeams at both ends correspond to each other and are arranged opposite each other. The two ends of the planting trough are respectively connected to the two opposite crossbeams by screws.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a lead screw rotatably connected to the top plate and the housing via a rotary bearing, a guide rod connected to the top plate and the housing, and a motor mounted on the top plate. The motor is connected to the upper end of the lead screw via a coupling. The lifting mechanism also includes a lifting seat threadedly connected to the lead screw and a mounting plate connected to the side of the lifting seat near the frame. The lifting seat has a sliding hole and is slidably connected to the guide rod through the sliding hole. An electric telescopic rod is mounted on the mounting plate.

[0009] The above technical solution controls the motor to work, which drives the lead screw to rotate, thus driving the lifting seat to move up and down along the guide rod.

[0010] Preferably, the spraying mechanism includes an L-shaped plate connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod, a water supply pipe is installed on the L-shaped plate, the lower end of the water supply pipe is connected to a main pipe in the same direction as the planting trough, and the bottom of the main pipe is connected to multiple branch pipes, each of which is equipped with a spray head.

[0011] The above technical solution, by controlling the extension of the electric telescopic rod, allows the L-shaped plate to reach above any planting trough at the same height, thereby spraying water into the planting trough through the nozzle to achieve irrigation.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the lifting seat is connected to a guide plate, the guide plate has a guide hole, and the flexible hose is movably disposed in the guide hole.

[0013] In the above technical solution, when the lifting seat is raised or lowered, and the L-shaped plate is moving horizontally, the hose always slides within the guide hole, thereby restricting the hose through the guide hole and preventing the hose from getting tangled.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the box body away from the collection port is provided with a cleaning port, and a cover plate is installed on the cleaning port. A drain pipe is connected to the lower part of the box body near the water pump, and a ball valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0015] The above technical solution allows for cleaning of the filter element by opening the cleaning port.

[0016] Preferably, the L-shaped plate is equipped with a lighting lamp that faces the same direction as the planting trough.

[0017] The above technical solution provides light to the mushrooms through a lighting lamp.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) The spraying mechanism is raised by the lifting mechanism, and the spraying mechanism is extended by the first electric telescopic rod to reach above any planting trough, thereby realizing the irrigation of the planting trough. The whole set of equipment only has one set of spraying mechanism, which saves pipelines, reduces costs, and at the same time, the reduction in the number of pipelines also reduces the occupied area.

[0020] (2) After irrigating the planting trough, excess water will seep down through the seepage holes and eventually enter the box through the collection port. It will then flow down the slope, filter out large particles of soil through the filter screen, and then be further filtered by the filter element, so that the water can re-enter the box for recycling, thus saving water resources.

[0021] (3) The frame is made of basalt fiber, which is itself made from melted volcanic rock and drawn into fibers. It has excellent resistance to acid, alkali, and salt corrosion, fundamentally solving the industry pain point that metal frames are prone to rust and damage in the high humidity and corrosive environment of mushroom cultivation. Moreover, the tensile strength of basalt fiber ribs is higher than that of ordinary steel, while its density is lower than that of steel. This allows the planting rack to maintain sufficient load-bearing capacity while significantly reducing its overall weight. This greatly facilitates installation, disassembly, handling, and adjustment of the mushroom house layout, reducing labor intensity and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figures 1-2 A basalt fiber-reinforced mushroom cultivation rack includes a frame 1 made of basalt fiber material. The frame 1 comprises four rectangular uprights 101. Multiple upper and lower crossbeams 102 are connected between the two uprights at each end. Adjacent upper and lower crossbeams are connected by tie rods 103. The crossbeams 102 at both ends correspond one-to-one and are arranged opposite each other. Multiple planting troughs 2 are screwed onto the opposite crossbeams 102. Drainage holes are provided at the bottom of the planting troughs 2. Each layer of planting troughs forms a planting area. The frame 1 is made of basalt fiber, which is itself formed by melting and drawing volcanic rock. It has excellent resistance to acid, alkali, and salt corrosion, fundamentally solving the industry pain point that metal frames are prone to rust and damage in the high humidity and corrosive environment of mushroom cultivation. Furthermore, the tensile strength of basalt fiber is higher than that of ordinary steel, while its density is lower. This allows the cultivation rack to maintain sufficient load-bearing capacity while significantly reducing its overall weight. This greatly facilitates installation, disassembly, transportation, and adjustment of the mushroom house layout, reducing labor intensity and improving production efficiency.

[0028] A box 3 is located below the frame 1, with one side of the box 3 extending outside the frame 1. A collection port 301 is located at the top of the box 3 below the frame. An outwardly sloping ramp 302 is located inside the box 3 below the frame. A filter screen 303 and a filter element 304 are sequentially arranged inside the box 3 near the ramp. Irrigation water, after infiltration, falls into the box 3 through the collection port 301. It undergoes initial filtration through the filter screen, removing larger mud particles, and then fine filtration through the filter element. The finely filtered water then permeates to the other side of the box for later use. In this embodiment, the filter element 304 can be a PP cotton filter element, primarily removing impurities such as silt, rust, red worms, colloids, and suspended solids from the water.

[0029] A water pump 4 is installed on the side of the housing 3 away from the frame 1. The inlet end of the water pump 4 is connected to the housing 3 through a pipe, and the outlet end of the water pump 4 is connected to a water outlet pipe. An extension rod 5 is connected to the upper part of the frame 1. A top plate 6 opposite to the housing is connected to the extension rod 5. A lifting mechanism 7 is provided on the top plate 6 and the housing 3. An electric telescopic rod 8 is installed on the lifting mechanism 7. A spraying mechanism 9 is installed on the electric telescopic rod 8. The spraying mechanism 9 is connected to the water outlet pipe through a hose 10. The length of the hose is greater than the sum of the total stroke of the lifting mechanism and the electric telescopic rod to prevent the hose from falling off when the spraying mechanism moves.

[0030] The lifting mechanism 7 includes a lead screw 701 rotatably connected to the top plate and the housing via a rotary bearing, a guide rod 702 connected to the top plate and the housing, and a motor 703 mounted on the top plate. The motor 703 is connected to the upper end of the lead screw 701 via a coupling. The lifting mechanism also includes a lifting seat 704 threaded to the lead screw and a mounting plate 705 connected to the lifting seat near the frame. The lifting seat 704 has a sliding hole and is slidably connected to the guide rod 702 through the sliding hole. The electric telescopic rod 8 is mounted on the mounting plate 705. The spraying mechanism 9 includes an L-shaped plate 901 connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod. A water supply pipe 902 is mounted on the L-shaped plate 901. The lower end of the water supply pipe 902 is connected to a main pipe 903 in the same direction as the planting trough. The bottom of the main pipe 903 is connected to multiple branch pipes, and each branch pipe is equipped with a nozzle 904. The control motor 703 operates, driving the lead screw 701 to rotate, thereby causing the lifting seat 704 to move up and down along the guide rod 702. Additionally, a position sensor can be installed on the lifting seat 704 to sense the position of the spraying mechanism 9 and transmit the signal to the controller. The controller then controls the motor 703 to operate, allowing the spraying mechanism 9 to reach the desired height. This ensures that after the electric telescopic rod 8 extends, the L-shaped plate 901 reaches above any planting trough 2 at the same height, allowing water to be sprayed onto the planting trough 2 through the nozzles 904 for irrigation.

[0031] One end of the lifting seat 704 is connected to a guide plate 706, which has a guide hole. The flexible hose 10 is movably disposed within the guide hole. When the lifting seat is raised or lowered, the flexible hose always slides within the guide hole when the L-shaped plate moves horizontally. This guide hole can restrict the flexible hose and prevent it from getting tangled.

[0032] The top of the housing 3, away from the collection port, is equipped with a cleaning port. A cover plate 305 is installed on the cleaning port, and a sealing ring is provided on the outer wall where the cover plate contacts the cleaning port. A drain pipe 306 is connected to the lower part of the housing 3 near the water pump, and a ball valve is installed on the drain pipe 306. Opening the cleaning port allows for cleaning of the filter element, and opening the drain pipe 306 allows water to be drained from the housing. Accumulated dirt inside the housing can be cleaned through the collection port 301.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Example 1, an illumination lamp 11 aligned with the planting trough is installed on the L-shaped plate 901. The light requirements for mushroom cultivation vary depending on the variety and growth stage. Generally, photosynthesis is not required, but light plays an important regulatory role in mushroom growth and is not entirely unnecessary.

[0035] Although mushrooms do not require light to produce nutrients, light has an important indirect impact on their growth and development: Inducing primordium formation (fruiting): For most artificially cultivated mushroom varieties (such as oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and button mushrooms), suitable light is one of the key environmental signals stimulating the mycelium to shift from vegetative growth to reproductive growth (i.e., the formation of fruiting buds / primordia). After the mycelium has fully colonized the substrate and reached physiological maturity, it usually needs some diffused light stimulation to successfully produce fruiting buds. In complete darkness, fruiting will be difficult, delayed, or uneven.

[0036] Therefore, lighting can also be used to illuminate the mushrooms in the planting troughs, inducing primordia formation. Furthermore, since cultivation racks are generally installed indoors, and multiple planting troughs can obstruct light transmission, making it difficult to see the lower troughs, providing illumination makes it easier to observe the growth of mushrooms in any planting trough.

[0037] The lighting lamp 11 described in this embodiment can be a battery-powered fluorescent lamp. The use of batteries to power fluorescent lamps for illumination is existing technology and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0038] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0039] 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 these 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.
