Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of strain culture technology, and in particular to an intelligent mycelial bag culture system based on the linkage and regulation of blue light according to mycelial growth status. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern edible fungi cultivation, spawn culture houses are key facilities for achieving large-scale, efficient production. In recent years, with the deepening research into the growth and development mechanisms of edible fungi, the inhibitory effect of light, especially blue light, on mycelial growth has been gradually discovered and widely applied in actual production. Currently, the cultivation of edible fungi generally relies on manual experience for management and judgment. Operators typically assess the growth status of the fungi by visual observation and manually adjust environmental parameters such as light accordingly. This extensive management model, relying on subjective experience, has significant limitations: First, manual judgment is easily affected by individual experience differences and subjective factors, leading to inconsistent evaluation standards and making it difficult to guarantee the consistency and repeatability of the cultivation process; second, observation of the external morphology cannot accurately reflect the physiological activity and health status of the mycelium, providing only a single dimension of information and making it difficult to accurately predict growth trends. Furthermore, in terms of light control, existing technologies mostly use fixed modes or preset programs, lacking the ability to adjust according to the real-time, dynamic growth needs of the mycelium. Utility Model Content

By establishing a control system that links visual perception with light emission, it achieves precise and automated management of the mycelial growth process, replacing the traditional reliance on manual experience and improving the consistency and controllability of the culture process.

[0019] Next, the working principle of this embodiment will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can better understand this utility model: The vision module is used to collect image information during the growth process of the spawn bags, and the environmental acquisition module is used to collect environmental information during the growth process of the spawn bags, such as the temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration information of the spawn bag culture chamber. The lighting module is used to provide lighting for the growth of the spawn bags.

[0020] When the visual acquisition module is in operation, the camera acquires images of the cultured mycelium bags at regular intervals or in real time, obtaining images of mycelial growth. Subsequently, the image processing module preprocesses the acquired raw images and sends them to the control module. The environmental acquisition module monitors the environmental parameters of the culture environment of the mycelium bags through its integrated sensors, and the data is transmitted to the control module via the communication module.

[0021] The control module is used to determine the current growth stage of the mycelium, such as early, middle, or late stage, and the health status of the mycelium. It then adjusts the light control commands of the lighting module, such as light intensity and irradiation period, and sends these commands to the lighting module. The lighting module irradiates the culture area of ​​the mycelium bags.

[0022] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the environmental acquisition module includes a data acquisition module, a temperature and humidity sensor, and a CO2 sensor; the data acquisition module is connected to the communication module, the temperature and humidity sensor, and the CO2 sensor, respectively.

[0023] The temperature and humidity sensors and CO2 sensor collect real-time data on the temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration in the culture environment, respectively, and transmit these analog or digital signals to the data acquisition module. The data acquisition module, which is a microcontroller or single-chip microcomputer, summarizes, performs preliminary processing and formatting of data from multiple sensors, and then sends the packaged environmental data to the control module via the communication module.

[0024] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0025] Example 3 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that the lighting module includes a light source module and an auxiliary lighting module; the light source module and the auxiliary lighting module are respectively connected to the control module.

[0026] The light source module receives and executes dimming commands from the control module, providing a light environment for different growth stages of mycelium by changing the light intensity and period.

[0027] The auxiliary lighting module is used to provide illumination for the camera. When the camera needs to acquire images, the control module will synchronously trigger the auxiliary lighting module to provide lighting conditions for the camera to capture images, ensuring that the acquired mycelial images are clear.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0029] Example 4 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that the control module includes a PLC control cabinet, a switch, and a storage module; one end of the switch is connected to the image processing module, and the other end is connected to the PLC control cabinet; the storage module is connected to the PLC control cabinet; and the PLC control cabinet is connected to the communication module and the lighting module respectively.

[0036] Example 6 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 5 is that it also includes a power supply module; the power supply module includes a switching power supply and a UPS backup power supply; the switching power supply and the UPS backup power supply are respectively connected to the PLC control cabinet.

[0037] The switching power supply, as the main power supply unit, converts the externally input AC power into the current required by each module of the system, ensuring that all electronic equipment receives a clean and stable operating voltage. The UPS backup power supply works in conjunction with the switching power supply; in the event of an emergency, the UPS backup power supply can continue to provide power to the entire system.

[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.
