Abstract

This invention is a breathable fabric membrane for mushroom space bags that effectively inhibits pests and pathogens. It comprises a cover body that fits over the opening of the space bag. The cover has a flap on top, covered with a breathable fabric body. An insect-proof film is applied to the outer surface of the fabric body, and a water-repellent film is applied to the outer surface of the film. This breathable fabric membrane not only provides breathable and waterproof properties but also effectively inhibits pests and pathogens, thereby improving the quality of mycelium cultivation.

Description

Breathable fabric film for mushroom space packaging that effectively inhibits pests and pathogens

This invention is related to sealing, specifically a breathable fabric membrane for mushroom packaging that effectively inhibits pests and pathogens.

Generally, mushrooms are cultivated by placing a culture medium in a space bag to form mycelium growth. In order to control the humidity and temperature of the space bag, a cover is often installed at the bag mouth of the space bag to allow the mycelium in the space bag to grow stably and cultivate the edible mushrooms seen on the market. Due to the relationship between the environment and climate of the space bag, it is often necessary to increase the humidity or sprinkle water to cool down in order to provide an environment suitable for the mycelium to grow. Therefore, ventilation holes must be opened on the cover to exchange the external air and thus maintain the breathability of the space bag. For example, the inventor of this case developed and obtained the new patent No. M667888, which is a space bag for mushroom cultivation. The sealing structure of the bag includes a cover body and a breathable sheet, the breathable sheet is arranged above the cover body, the cover body is concentrically formed with a side wall and a sleeve ring, and a top edge ring plate is connected between the side wall and the sleeve ring, and an assembly port is surrounded by the side wall, the sleeve ring and the top edge ring plate, and the cover body is formed below the top edge ring plate. The side wall has an annular sidewall with a recessed annular groove. The sidewall also has a bottom wall formed at one end away from the top ring plate. The bottom wall has a plurality of ventilation holes. When the lid is placed on the space bag, the ventilation holes connect the space bag interior with the external atmosphere, allowing external air to flow into the space bag through the ventilation holes.

However, while this improves the ventilation inside the space bag and enhances the quality of mycelium cultivation, the holes created by the breathable sheet can easily allow pests and pathogens to enter, which in turn affects the growth and quality of the mycelium. Therefore, further improvements are needed.

In light of this, the creator drew upon his long years of experience in research and development in related technical fields to create this work.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide a breathable cloth membrane for mushroom space packaging that effectively inhibits pests and pathogens, thereby improving the quality of mycelium cultivation.

To achieve the aforementioned objectives, this invention provides a breathable cloth membrane for mushroom space bag lids that effectively inhibits pests and pathogens. The membrane comprises a lid body that fits over the opening of the space bag and has a lid opening covered with a breathable cloth. The main feature of the membrane is that an insect-proof membrane is provided on at least one outer surface of the breathable cloth to inhibit pests and pathogens.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, which illustrate a preferred embodiment of a breathable cloth membrane for mushroom bag lids that effectively inhibits pests and pathogens. The membrane comprises a lid body 10 that fits over the opening of a bag. The bottom of the lid body 10 is provided with several ventilation holes 11. Furthermore, the top of the lid body 10 has a cover 12, which is covered with a breathable cloth 13. The main improvements of this invention are: The air-permeable fabric 13 is made of non-woven fabric. An insect-repellent film 14 is spray-coated on its upper outer surface. This film 14 can be made of a sulfur solution or a limonene solution. In this embodiment, the limonene solution is used to inhibit pests and pathogens. A water-repellent film 15 is also spray-coated on the outer surface of the film 14, providing a water-repellent effect.

Please refer to Figure 4, which shows another preferred embodiment of this invention's breathable fabric membrane for mushroom space packaging that effectively inhibits pests and pathogens. The insect-proof membrane 14 is formed on the lower and upper outer surfaces of the breathable fabric 13 by immersion, and the water-repellent membrane 15 is also formed on the outer surfaces of the insect-proof membrane 14 by immersion, giving the breathable fabric 13 even better pest-inhibiting and water-repellent properties.

Because the insect-proof film 14 is made from a natural, non-toxic limonene plant extract, it is not only harmless to humans, but also because limonene can dissolve the waxy layer of pests, dehydrating and killing small insects such as crustaceans, budworms, spider mites, artichokes, spider mites, and flour flies. It also dissolves the phospholipid layer of pathogenic bacteria spores, drying them out and disrupting the growth of fungal hyphae. This inhibits pathogens such as powdery mildew, gray mold, black spot, and spore mold. Therefore, the breathable fabric film of this invention effectively inhibits pests and pathogens, thereby improving the quality of fungal hyphae cultivation.

In summary, this invention demonstrates significant advancement and practicality compared to similar products. Furthermore, after extensive research into technical documentation regarding this type of structure both domestically and internationally, no similar structures have been found in the literature. Therefore, this invention meets the requirements for a patent, and we hereby file an application in accordance with the law.

However, the above is only one of the preferred embodiments of this invention. Therefore, any equivalent structural changes made by applying the description and patent application scope of this invention should be included in the patent scope of this invention.
