Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of edible fungi inoculation technology, specifically, it relates to an edible fungi inoculation box. Background Technology

[0002] The general process of cultivating edible fungi involves selecting cottonseed hulls, sawdust, corn cobs, rice straw, stalks, fruit tree branches, and agricultural by-products as materials. These materials are then made into mushroom bags, which are sterilized at high temperatures before being inoculated with mycelium. A sterile inoculation box is required for inoculation.

[0003] Utility model patent CN220173994U discloses a novel edible mushroom inoculation box, comprising a box body with an open front wall and a hinged door. The door has two sealing sleeves. The box body has an internal support mechanism. This mechanism includes a set of rotating rods rotatably mounted on both sides of the box body, with each rod's wall wrapped with a soft metal mesh. Each end of the soft metal mesh is fixed with a strip plate. This design provides sufficient space for the mushroom bags to be disinfected, facilitating thorough disinfection. It also improves the utilization of the internal space, allowing for the separation of disinfected and undisinfected mushroom bags, preventing burns to personnel's hands, and reducing the possibility of the mushroom bags being burned.

[0004] However, existing edible mushroom inoculation boxes mainly rely on fumigation with disinfectants and disinfection by alcohol lamp flames, which have significant limitations. Fumigation disinfection is time-consuming and affected by the airflow distribution inside the box, which may result in incomplete disinfection in certain areas, especially in corners or gaps where mushroom bags are stacked, where the risk of microbial residue is high. In addition, alcohol lamps can only disinfect the inoculation needle locally and cannot continuously sterilize the entire box space. During frequent inoculation operations, the sterile environment inside the box is easily disrupted, increasing the probability of contamination by other microorganisms. In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An edible fungus inoculation box, comprising: The box body is a double-layer stainless steel structure with sound insulation and heat insulation material filling the interlayer. The box body is equipped with a sterilization mechanism for sterilizing the inside of the box body. The front of the box body is equipped with an operating mechanism. The feeding assembly is located on the back of the chamber and is used to feed the petri dish into the chamber. The feeding assembly is equipped with multiple chamber doors for sealing the chamber. The culture mechanism includes a movable mechanism disposed inside a box, the movable mechanism being used to rotate the culture dish horizontally, the top of the movable mechanism being provided with the culture dish, and the inoculation operation being performed through an operating mechanism on the box.

[0006] Preferably, a control panel is fixed at the top center of the box, an ozone generator is installed on one side of the top of the box, a plasma sterilizer is installed on the other side of the top of the box, one side of the top of the box is set as an inclined structure, an observation window is provided on the inclined mechanism of the box, and two elastic sealing gloves are provided at the upper end of the front of the box.

[0007] Preferably, a shadowless lamp is installed at the top of the inner cavity of the enclosure, and a sensor module is installed in the middle of the inner wall of the front of the enclosure. The sensor module includes a temperature and humidity sensor, an air quality sensor, and a room pressure sensor.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a feed inlet groove formed on the upper part of the inner wall of the box, an inner partition plate is provided inside the feed inlet groove to seal the feed inlet groove, an outer partition plate is provided outside the inner partition plate, and protrusions fixed on the box body are connected to the bottom two sides of the outer partition plate by movable pins, and limit plates are provided on the top two sides of the outer partition plate, one end of the limit plate being movably connected to the box body by movable pins.

[0009] Preferably, the culture mechanism includes a motor fixed to the bottom wall of the box, the output shaft of the motor is fixed with a disc-shaped movable plate, the movable plate is located below the elastic sealing glove, a magnetic suction plate is embedded in the middle of the upper surface of the movable plate, and multiple positioning grooves distributed in a ring array are opened on the edge of the upper surface of the movable plate.

[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the movable plate is connected to a culture dish via a magnetic suction plate, and the lower surface edge of the culture dish is fixed with a plurality of positioning columns arranged in a ring array, the positioning columns being adapted to the positioning groove.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This invention employs an ozone generator and a plasma sterilizer working in tandem, combined with ultraviolet germicidal lamps for auxiliary sterilization, forming a multi-dimensional sterilization system. Ozone can penetrate to every corner of the chamber, destroying the cell membranes of microorganisms; plasma can efficiently kill stubborn microorganisms such as bacteria and fungal spores. The combination of the two can achieve all-round sterilization inside the chamber within 30-60 minutes. At the same time, the sensor module monitors the temperature, humidity, air quality, and chamber pressure inside the chamber in real time, and the data is fed back to the control panel. When the parameters exceed the threshold, the adjustment mechanism is automatically activated to ensure the long-term stability of the inoculation environment and significantly reduce the risk of contamination by other microorganisms.

[0012] The culture mechanism of this invention uses a motor to drive the movable plate to rotate horizontally. Combined with the double fixation of the magnetic suction plate and the positioning groove, the culture dish can be stably and quickly switched to the operating position. The operator can complete multiple inoculations by wearing elastic sealed gloves without manually adjusting the support structure. The feeding component adopts a double-layer sealing design of inner and outer partitions. When feeding, the outer partition is opened first, the inner partition is taken out and the culture dish is placed, and then the two partitions are closed in sequence. The limiting plate is fastened and fixed to form a sealed space to prevent outside air from directly entering the chamber. In addition, the combination of the shadowless lamp and the tilted observation window ensures that the operator can clearly observe the inoculation process and reduce operational errors.
