Description

The utility model relates to agricultural engineering, in particular to devices for growing mushrooms.

Known device for intensive cultivation of oyster mushrooms [Copyright certificate RU patent No. 2434379, IPC cl. A01G 1/04, 2011], consisting of box-shaped containers with lattice side walls, filled with a substrate seeded with oyster mushroom mycelium, installed in the form of a vertical column with a pallet mounted on a platform on a wheeled chassis for manual horizontal movement of this platform inside the greenhouse.

The disadvantages of this device are:

- irrational use of the greenhouse area due to the need to leave passages between the columns for working personnel;

- increased costs for heating, ventilation and maintaining the required humidity at the same time throughout the greenhouse;

- the difficulty of maintaining the same microclimate parameters throughout the greenhouse, which reduces the yield and quality of mushrooms;

- irrational distribution of the area of feeding mushrooms in box-shaped containers, which reduces the yield;

- harmful working conditions of service personnel;

- high labor intensity of mushroom picking.

The closest analogue to the claimed is a device for growing mushrooms [Copyright certificate SU patent No. 904577, IPC cl. A01G 1/04, 1982], which includes sectional chambers in the form of sealed underground mines with an earthen floor, in which stacks with trays filled with substrate, a mechanism for moving trays and an air conditioning system are located in layers.

The disadvantages of this device are:

- irrational distribution of the area of feeding mushrooms in trays, which reduces their productivity;

- high labor intensity of manual collection of mushrooms due to difficult access to each tray;

- a high percentage of damage and contamination of mushrooms during manual collection, reducing their quality.

The technical result of the useful model is to reduce the labor intensity of growing oyster mushrooms while increasing their quality and yield.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the container has the form of a container, consisting of a cylindrical cassette with holes installed with the possibility of rotation, having a solid bottom at the bottom, and a shell at the top, connected by a crosspiece with an axis of rotation, having a steering wheel at the top and resting on a thrust bearing located below in the bottom of the trimming mechanism, containing the shell and knives connecting the bottom and shell, covering the outside along the helical generatrix of the cylindrical cassette, elastically pressed against it by springs.

The specified combination of essential features provides the device for growing oyster mushrooms with new properties that are different from the prototype.

Thus, the declared features of the utility model meet the "novelty" criterion.

FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a device for growing oyster mushrooms; in fig. 2 is a diagram of a cylindrical cassette; in fig. 3 - schematic of the trimming mechanism, main view; in fig. 4 is a top view of the trimming mechanism.

A device for growing oyster mushrooms, consisting of a container filled with a substrate with oyster mushroom mycelium and a pruning mechanism, and the container has the form of a container consisting of a cylindrical cassette 8 with holes installed with the possibility of rotation, having a solid bottom at the bottom, and at the top a shell 10 connected by a cross with an axis rotation 3, which has a steering wheel 4 at the top and rests on the bottom of the thrust bearing 6 located in the bottom 5 of the trimming mechanism containing the shell 1 and knives 7 connecting the bottom and the shell, covering the outside along the helical generatrix of the cylindrical cassette 8, elastically pressed against it by the springs 9.

The operation of the device for growing oyster mushrooms is as follows.

For oyster mushroom cultivation, the substrate with oyster mushroom mycelium is loaded into the proposed device for oyster mushroom cultivation and placed either on the shelves of the growing room, or in the sealed sectional chamber provided in [2], where the growth of mushroom bodies takes place.

At the end of the growth cycle of mushroom bodies, the device for growing oyster mushrooms is lifted out of the chamber with a crane beam, placed on a pallet, and cassette 8 is rotated by 120 ° by the steering wheel 4. When the cassette 8 is turned, the mushrooms that have sprouted through the holes 2 are cleanly cut with the knives 7 and fall onto the pallet.

The cut mushrooms from the pallet are packed into a container intended for storage and sale, and the device for growing oyster mushrooms is again placed either on the shelves of the growing room, or in a sealed sectional chamber for the next cycle of growing mushroom bodies.

The cylindrical shape of the container with the substrate as part of the proposed device provides a more optimal distribution of the feeding area between the individual bodies of the mushrooms, which increases the yield of mushrooms and the standard uniformity of their sizes, which determines the quality.

Trimming the bodies of oyster mushrooms using a trimming mechanism reduces the overall labor intensity of cultivation, reduces injury and pollution in comparison with the manual method, which also provides the claimed technical result of the useful model.
