Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of edible fungus cultivation equipment, specifically to a humidifier for edible fungus cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] As the market demand for edible fungi gradually increases, the industry of large-scale artificial cultivation of edible fungi is becoming more and more large-scale. In order to ensure the normal growth of edible fungi, it is necessary to humidify the edible fungi or the substrate during the cultivation process.

[0003] Some existing edible fungi cultivation enterprises still use manual sprayers to spray water and humidify edible fungi or mushroom sticks. This method is inefficient and requires a lot of manual labor.

[0004] To improve the humidification efficiency of edible fungi or mushroom sticks, some companies use dedicated humidification equipment to humidify the fungi or mushroom sticks on the mushroom racks. Since the fungi or mushroom sticks on the racks are arranged vertically, the humidification head needs to move up and down frequently to ensure that all the fungi or mushroom sticks on the racks are humidified. Therefore, dedicated humidification equipment for edible fungi or mushroom sticks has a complex structure and a higher failure rate. Some dedicated humidification equipment for edible fungi or mushroom sticks also requires manual pushing to move between the gaps in the racks, which is quite troublesome to operate.

[0005] For example, patent document CN214628671U discloses a humidifier for edible mushroom cultivation. This humidifier works by pulling the handle on the outside of a locking rod outwards, causing it to move completely outwards and separate from the inner cavity of the locking slot. This allows the hollow plate to be lifted upwards, moving the insert rod upwards for height adjustment. Loosening the handle on the outside of the locking rod, through the spring force, moves the sleeve plate and locking rod inwards to reset, allowing the locking rod to insert into the corresponding slot and fix the insert rod and hollow plate. This facilitates humidification of edible mushrooms on mushroom beds at different heights. However, during use, this equipment requires frequent adjustments to the height of the atomizing nozzles to humidify all the edible mushrooms or mushroom sticks on the mushroom rack, resulting in low efficiency.

[0006] Patent document CN216492460U discloses an automatic humidifier for edible mushroom cultivation. The device includes an adjustment component and a rotating component. During use, adjusting the length of the telescopic rod moves the fixed sleeve, allowing for fine-tuning of the nozzle angle and adjustment of the spray range according to actual conditions. Activating a second motor drives a second gear, which in turn drives a rotating shaft, causing the humidifier body and mounting rod to rotate, thus spraying the surrounding area. This humidifier fills the mushroom shed with water mist, humidifying the edible mushrooms or mushroom logs. However, this device consumes a large amount of water and has high energy consumption, potentially leading to uneven humidity distribution within the shed. Some areas may become excessively humid due to rapid water mist settling. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a humidifier for edible fungi cultivation that is easy to install, can be adapted to the mushroom racks already installed in the mushroom shed, facilitates the control of the overall humidity in the mushroom shed, and can save water.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A humidifier for edible fungi cultivation includes a humidifying unit installed on a mushroom rack. The mushroom rack includes four uprights, and multiple trays are evenly distributed and fixed in the vertical direction between the four uprights. A humidifying unit is installed on the mushroom rack above each tray. The humidifying unit includes a square tube, with both ends of the square tube sealed. Multiple atomizing nozzles are fixedly connected to the lower end of the square tube. A first sliding cover is slidably engaged in the axial direction of the square tube. A locking handle is threaded onto the first sliding cover. Elastic mounting components are fixed on the first sliding cover and the right side of the square tube. The elastic mounting frame includes two symmetrical elastic plates. The first ends of the two elastic plates of the left elastic mounting component are fixedly connected to the first sliding cover. The first ends of the two elastic plates of the right elastic mounting component are fixed to the right side of the square tube. Each elastic plate has a locking clip fixed to its second end. The second ends of the two symmetrical elastic plates are far apart from each other. The four clips of the humidifying unit are respectively engaged on the outside of the four uprights. The square tube is centrally located above the tray.

[0009] Specifically, the square tube has grooves at both ends, with the length of the grooves parallel to the length of the square tube. The first sliding cover is inverted U-shaped, and the square tube is located inside the first sliding cover. Two sliders are fixed inside the first sliding cover, and the two sliders are respectively slidably engaged in the two grooves.

[0010] Specifically, the locking handle is threadedly connected to the upper end of the first sliding cover, and one end of the locking handle is tightly pressed against the upper end of the square tube.

[0011] Specifically, the plurality of atomizing nozzles are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the square tube.

[0012] Specifically, a second sliding cover is slidably fitted onto the square tube. The second sliding cover is inverted U-shaped, and the square tube is located inside the second sliding cover. Two sliders are fixed inside the second sliding cover, and the two sliders are slidably engaged in two sliding grooves respectively. A vertical support rod is fixed on one side of the second sliding cover.

[0013] Specifically, a main tube is fixed on the mushroom rack, and the main tube is connected to multiple square tubes.

[0014] Specifically, the kava is arc-shaped.

[0015] Specifically, the right end of the square tube is fixedly connected to a first quick connector, and the main tube is fixedly connected to a second quick connector corresponding to the first quick connector. The corresponding first quick connector and second quick connector are connected through a flexible tube.

[0016] Specifically, the main pipe is connected to the manifold, and the manifold is connected to the water tank through a pressurization device.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Employing a symmetrical elastic plate design with an arc-shaped locking mechanism, installation is simple: align the locking mechanism with the upright of the mushroom rack, and push the first sliding cover to cause controlled deformation of the elastic plate. The resulting elastic force firmly presses the locking mechanism against the upright, creating a self-locking effect. This allows the entire humidification unit to be stably and centrally suspended above the tray without the need for additional complex fasteners. This solves the problems of traditional humidifiers being cumbersome to install on multi-layer mushroom racks, prone to tilting, or not securely fixed.

[0018] 2. The first sliding cover can slide freely along the length of the square tube by engaging with the sliding groove on the square tube via a slider; the locking handle design allows the operator to quickly lock the first sliding cover and the connected left elastic mounting piece after sliding to any desired position, so that the humidification unit can be precisely adjusted laterally according to the actual spacing of the mushroom rack uprights or the position of the tray, ensuring that the humidification unit is always in the optimal working position.

[0019] 3. The second sliding cover can also slide along the square tube and provides additional support points through its fixed vertical support rod. During installation, the position of the second sliding cover can be pre-adjusted so that the support rod avoids the mushroom sticks or edible fungi growth area in the tray below, preventing collisions or obstruction. The support rod, in conjunction with the second sliding cover, effectively supports the square tube during installation, reducing the operator's burden and improving installation efficiency and safety.

[0020] 3. The square tube and the main tube are connected by a first quick-connect coupling and a second quick-connect coupling with a flexible hose, making each humidification unit an independent module. When cleaning, replacing the atomizing nozzle, or maintenance is required, the hose connection can be quickly disconnected. The unit can be removed from the mushroom rack without disassembling the entire piping system or affecting the operation of other humidification units, greatly simplifying the maintenance process, reducing downtime, and minimizing the impact on the growth environment of edible fungi.

[0021] 4. Multiple atomizing nozzles are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the square tube, ensuring that the water mist can cover most of the area below the tray. The square tube is connected to the water source through the main pipe, manifold, and pressurization device, which provides stable pressure to ensure that the atomizing nozzles produce a fine water mist. The humidification unit is stably and precisely positioned directly above the tray, so that the sprayed water mist can be evenly distributed on the surface of the edible fungi or mushroom sticks below, effectively meeting their humidity requirements for growth.

[0022] 5. This technical solution uses an independent humidification unit directly above each tray to allow the atomizing nozzles to accurately cover the mushroom sticks or edible mushroom growth area below. The water mist acts directly on the parts that need humidification, greatly improving water resource utilization and avoiding ineffective evaporation and sedimentation of water mist.

[0023] 6. The multi-layer humidification unit of this technical solution (one humidification unit for each tray) can work independently, ensuring that the humidity of the microenvironment of each layer of the mushroom rack is uniform and stable, and eliminating uneven growth caused by positional differences.

[0024] 7. The modular humidification of this technical solution confines the water mist to a single tray, forming a physical isolation that greatly reduces the probability of disease spreading across regions.

[0025] 8. This technical solution only moistens the surface of the mushroom stick or edible fungus and the adjacent air, significantly reducing the ineffective moist surface in the environment and inhibiting the growth of pollution sources from the source. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, a humidifier for edible fungi cultivation includes a humidifying unit installed on a mushroom rack. The mushroom rack includes four uprights 11, and multiple trays 12 are evenly distributed and fixed in the vertical direction between the four uprights 11. A humidifying unit is installed on the mushroom rack above each tray 12.

[0033] The humidification unit includes a square tube 1, with both ends of the square tube 1 sealed. A main tube 13 is fixed on the mushroom rack, and the main tube 13 is connected to multiple square tubes 1.

[0034] Multiple atomizing nozzles 4 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the square tube 1, and the multiple atomizing nozzles 4 are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the square tube 1.

[0035] The square tube 1 is slidably engaged with the first sliding cover 5 in the axial direction. Specifically, the front and rear ends of the square tube 1 are provided with sliding grooves 6, the length direction of the sliding grooves 6 is parallel to the length direction of the square tube 1, the first sliding cover 5 is inverted U-shaped, the square tube 1 is located inside the first sliding cover 5, and two sliders are fixed inside the first sliding cover 5, and the two sliders are slidably engaged in the two sliding grooves 6 respectively.

[0036] A locking handle 7 is threaded onto the first sliding cover 5. Specifically, the locking handle 7 is threaded onto the upper end of the first sliding cover 5, and one end of the locking handle 7 is tightly pressed against the upper end of the square tube 1. The first sliding cover 5 can be fixed to the square tube 1 by means of the locking handle 7.

[0037] Elastic mounting components are fixed on the first sliding cover 5 and the right side of the square tube 1.

[0038] The flexible mounting bracket includes two symmetrical elastic plates 2. The first ends of the two elastic plates 2 on the left side are fixedly connected to the first sliding cover 5. The first ends of the two elastic plates 2 on the right side are fixed to the right side of the square tube 1. Each elastic plate 2 has a clip 3 fixed to its second end. The clip 3 is arc-shaped. The second ends of the two symmetrical elastic plates 2 are far apart from each other. The four clips 3 of the humidification unit are respectively clipped to the outside of the four uprights 11. The square tube 1 is located in the center above the tray 12.

[0039] A second sliding cover 8 is slidably fitted on the square tube 1. The second sliding cover 8 is inverted U-shaped. The square tube 1 is located inside the second sliding cover 8. Two sliders are fixed inside the second sliding cover 8. The two sliders are slidably engaged in two sliding grooves 6 respectively. A vertical support rod 9 is fixed on one side of the second sliding cover 8.

[0040] When installing the humidifier assembly on the mushroom rack, position it inside the rack above tray 12. First, engage the two right-side clips 3 onto the outside of the two right-side uprights 11 of the rack. Then, push the first sliding cover 5, the two left-side elastic plates 2, and the two left-side clips 3 to the left, engaging the two left-side clips 3 onto the outside of the two left-side uprights 11 of the rack. Continue moving the first sliding cover 5 to the left and the square tube 1 to the right, causing the four elastic plates 2 to deform elastically. Then, rotate the locking handle 7 to fix the first sliding cover 5 onto the square tube 1. After the elastic plates 2 deform elastically, the clips 3 press firmly against the uprights 11, thus stabilizing the square tube 1 within the mushroom rack above tray 12.

[0041] When installing the humidification unit, adjust the position of the second sliding cover 8 on the square tube 1, and then adjust the position of the support rod 9 so that the support rod 9 is misaligned with the mushroom sticks or edible fungi in the tray 12. During the installation of the square tube 1, the support rod 9 and the second sliding cover 8 work together to support the square tube 1, making it convenient to install the humidification unit in the mushroom rack.

[0042] After the humidification unit is installed inside the mushroom rack, water is supplied to the square tube 1 through the main pipe 13. The water in the square tube 1 is sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle 4 to humidify the edible fungi or mushroom sticks in the tray 12.

[0043] Atomizing the entire mushroom shed space results in a large amount of water mist settling in areas without edible fungi (such as passageways and equipment surfaces), leading to water waste. This technical solution uses an independent humidification unit directly above each tray 12, allowing the atomizing nozzles 4 to precisely cover the mushroom sticks or edible fungi growth areas below. The water mist directly acts on the areas requiring humidification, significantly improving water utilization and avoiding ineffective evaporation and settling of water mist.

[0044] Humidification of the entire mushroom shed can easily lead to uneven vertical humidity distribution, with rising heat causing the upper layers to be more humid and the lower layers to be drier. This technical solution uses multi-layer humidification units (one humidification unit for each of the 12 trays on each layer) that can operate independently, ensuring uniform and stable humidity in the microenvironment of each layer of mushroom racks and preventing uneven growth caused by differences in location.

[0045] The water mist generated by general humidification spreads widely within the greenhouse. If pathogens (such as mold spores) are present in a certain area, they will spread throughout the entire greenhouse with the water mist, triggering a chain reaction of disease outbreaks. The unitized humidification solution of this technology confines the water mist to a single-layer tray 12, forming a physical isolation and greatly reducing the probability of cross-regional disease transmission.

[0046] During the overall humidification process inside the mushroom shed, diffused water mist adheres to the mushroom racks, walls, and equipment surfaces, creating a continuously damp environment that breeds miscellaneous bacteria and pests. This technical solution only moistens the surface of the mushroom sticks or edible fungi and the surrounding air, significantly reducing ineffective damp surfaces in the environment and inhibiting the growth of pollution sources at the source.

[0047] The humidification unit of this technical solution is compatible with the mushroom racks that have already been laid and installed in the mushroom shed, making it convenient to upgrade and modify the mushroom racks that have already been laid and installed in the mushroom shed.

[0048] Example 2: Based on Example 1, referring to... Figure 2 As shown, a first quick connector 10 is fixedly connected to the right end of the square tube 1, and a second quick connector 15 corresponding to the first quick connector 10 is fixedly connected to the main tube 13. The corresponding first quick connector 10 and second quick connector 15 are connected through a hose 14. The main tube 13 is connected to the manifold, and the manifold is connected to the water tank through a pressurization device.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first quick connector 10 and the second quick connector 15 are connected by a hose 14. When the humidification unit needs maintenance or repair, the first quick connector 10 can be separated from the hose 14 to facilitate the removal of the humidification unit from the mushroom rack and to facilitate the maintenance or repair of the humidification unit.

[0050] When humidifying the edible fungi or mushroom sticks in the tray 12, the pressurization device is activated. The pressurization device pressurizes the water in the water tank and then delivers it into the square tube 1. The water in the square tube 1 is sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle 4 to humidify the edible fungi or mushroom sticks in the tray 12.

[0051] Once installed, the humidification unit can be used throughout the entire process of edible mushroom cultivation, which can reduce the cost of edible mushroom cultivation.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
