[0002] Edible fungi refer to large, edible mushrooms (macrofungi), commonly known as mushrooms. China has more than 350 known edible fungi, most of which belong to the Basidiomycota subphylum. Common examples include: shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, button mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, silver ear mushrooms, monkey head mushrooms, bamboo fungus, matsutake mushrooms, button mushrooms, red mushrooms, reishi mushrooms, cordyceps, truffles, white lingzhi mushrooms, and porcini mushrooms; a few belong to the Ascomycota subphylum, including: morels, saddle mushrooms, and truffles.

[0003] Edible fungi are a traditional industry in my country. my country has abundant edible fungi resources and is one of the earliest countries to cultivate and utilize edible fungi. Edible fungi are not only delicious but also nutritious and are often referred to as health foods. In the process of cultivating edible fungi, in order to make full use of space and save land, the edible fungi bags need to be placed on the mushroom rack.

[0004] Most existing mushroom growing racks are welded frames with fixed spacing between each layer. This means that the growing rack needs to be replaced when changing the type of edible fungi, which increases production costs and reduces the practicality of the growing rack. Therefore, an adjustable multi-layer support structure for edible fungi growing racks is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, such as welding, riveting, or bonding; it can also be a detachable connection, such as threaded connection, keyed connection, or pin connection; or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes an adjustable multi-layer support structure for a mushroom growing rack, comprising four columns 1 and four placement racks 2 disposed between the four columns 1. Support members 3 for supporting and adjusting the placement racks 2 are provided on the columns 1 and the placement racks 2.

[0031] In this utility model, the support member 3 on the column 1 supports the placement rack 2, so that the spacing between the four layers of placement rack 2 on the column 1 can be freely adjusted, and the number of placement rack 2 can be increased or decreased and slid out, making the whole mushroom growing rack more adaptable and more convenient and practical during use.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the support member 3 includes sixteen support frames 31 that are slidably connected to four columns 1. The sixteen support frames 31 are symmetrically distributed in pairs, and each pair of support frames 31 is symmetrically distributed on two columns 1 on the same side. Each pair of support frames 31 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 32 at one end near the placement frame 2, and each placement frame 2 is slidably connected between two connecting plates 32 on the same side. That is, each placement frame 2 has a pair of support frames 31 parallel to it on both the left and right sides, and each pair of support frames 31 provides slidable support to the placement frame 2 parallel to it through a connecting plate 32.

[0033] Each placement rack 2 has a support block 34 fixedly connected to both sides. Each of the two support blocks 34 on each placement rack 2 has a pull rod 36 slidably connected through the middle of the support block 34 and extending into the interior of the connecting plate 32. A retaining ring 35 located above the support block 34 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 36. A first spring 38 is fixedly connected between each retaining ring 35 and each support block 34. That is, each placement rack 2 is supported by a pull rod 36 through two support blocks 34, and the sliding placement rack 2 is limited and supported by the corresponding pull rod 36.

[0034] In this embodiment, since the pull rod 36 can support and limit the sliding of the placement rack 2 between the two connecting plates 32, pulling the pull rod 36 and unfolding the placement rack 2 in sequence can reduce the obstruction of the upper placement rack 2 to the lower placement rack 2, thereby increasing the light exposure of the strain and improving the strain cultivation effect.

[0035] It should be noted that the support frame 31 is U-shaped, and each connecting plate 32 has a limiting groove 33 on the middle of its upper surface and on both the front and rear sides for the pull rod 36 to support and limit the movement of the four-layer placement rack 2. This allows the pull rod 36, which extends into the limiting groove 33, to support and limit the movement of the four-layer placement rack 2 as it slides back and forth.

[0036] The end of the pull rod 36 that passes through the support block 34 is L-shaped, while the end that does not pass through the support block 34 is U-shaped. The U-shaped ends of the pull rods 36 on two adjacent placement racks 2 face opposite directions, so that the operator can pull the pull rod 36 to make the end that passes through the support block 34 slide vertically on the support block 34, thereby causing the placement rack 2 to slide back and forth.

[0037] In addition, a slider 37 is fixedly connected to the side of the placement rack 2 near the connecting plate 32. The side of the connecting plate 32 near the placement rack 2 has a groove for the slider 37 to slide. By extending the slider 37 into the groove, each placement rack 2 can slide stably between its two corresponding connecting plates 32. At the same time, the groove can also limit the sliding distance of the placement rack 2.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, two symmetrically distributed mounting blocks 39 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each connecting plate 32. Each mounting block 39 is slidably connected with an adjusting rod 312 that passes through the mounting block 39. One end of the adjusting rod 312 that passes through the mounting block 39 extends into the interior of the column 1. On the same side, a lever 310 is fixedly connected to the end of every two adjusting rods 312 that is away from the column 1. A connecting ring 311 is fixedly connected to each adjusting rod 312. A second spring 313 is fixedly connected between each connecting ring 311 and each mounting block 39. That is, the support frame 31 is supported and limited by a lever 310 and two corresponding adjusting rods 312 on the lever 310.

[0039] In this embodiment, the support frame 31 and connecting plate 32 on the column 1 are supported and adjusted by the adjustment rod 312 on the lever 310, so that the operator can flexibly adjust the spacing between the four-layer placement rack 2 and increase or decrease the number of placement racks 2 from the top of the column 1 for the placement and cultivation of different strains of fungi, thereby improving the convenience and practicality of the entire mushroom growing rack.

[0040] It should be noted that the column 1 has several equally spaced support slots on the side near the placement rack 2, and the specifications of the support slots are compatible with the specifications of the adjusting rod 312. The adjusting rod 312 extending into the support slots supports and limits the sliding support frame 31 on the column 1. The adjusting rod 312 extending into the support slots at different heights can support and limit the support frame 31 to different heights, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the placement racks 2 and the placement rack 2.

[0041] The lever 310 is L-shaped, and its front end is also L-shaped, so that the operator can easily pull the two levers 310 on each placement rack 2, thus improving the ease of operation.

[0042] The working principle in the above embodiments is as follows:

[0043] Since the support frame 31 is slidably connected to the column 1, after pulling the two levers 310 on each placement rack 2 to slide towards each other, the two adjusting rods 312 on each lever 310 can be separated from the column 1. Then, by holding the levers 310 back and forth and up and down, the height of each layer of placement rack 2 and the spacing between two placement racks 2 can be adjusted. After the placement rack 2 is adjusted, the front end of the lever 310 can be pushed, and in conjunction with the reset second spring 313, the adjusting rod 312 can be extended into the corresponding support groove of the column 1 to support and limit the adjusted placement rack 2.

[0044] Since the pull rod 36 can support and limit the sliding of the placement rack 2 between the two connecting plates 32 on the same horizontal level, after pulling the pull rod 36 to separate it from the limiting groove 33 on the connecting plate 32 on the same horizontal position, the placement rack 2 can be pulled back and forth and unfolded in sequence. After the four layers of placement rack 2 are unfolded in a staggered manner, the obstruction of the upper placement rack 2 to the lower placement rack 2 can be reduced, thereby improving the light uniformity after the fungus is placed in the placement rack 2, thus improving the cultivation effect of the entire mushroom growing rack.

[0045] 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.
