Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an apparatus for cultivating shiitake mushrooms, and more specifically, an apparatus for holding logs inoculated with shiitake fungi until the mushrooms germinate and grow.

As is well known, Shiitake mushrooms are cultivated by leaving logs of oak, oak, etc. that have been inoculated with Shiitake fungi in a shaded area with good ventilation for one to two years, then soaking them in water to absorb an appropriate amount of moisture. The seeds are transported into a greenhouse under appropriate temperature conditions and allowed to germinate and grow. In this case, logs are arranged in a greenhouse so that they lean against crossbars whose ends are supported by stakes, alternately in an inclined manner, and such fences are arranged in multiple rows.

Logs stored in a greenhouse will germinate and grow in about a week, so after harvesting the grown shiitake mushrooms, the logs are returned to a shaded storage area until the fungi can grow again.

In addition, during the germination and growth process in the greenhouse,
Workers constantly walk around the room observing the growth status, harvesting grown shiitake mushrooms and replacing ungrown logs, and transporting harvested logs outside the greenhouse.
After that, the process of recycling the logs, such as transporting the logs from the storage area into the room, must be repeated frequently.

By the way, in this case, the logs arranged in the greenhouse are
Since it is desirable to accommodate as many logs as possible in order to make effective use of the indoor area, log fences indoors have no choice but to be arranged with narrow passages barely large enough for a person to pass through.

Therefore, in conventional cultivation methods, it is not possible to use transport vehicles to move the logs in and out of the greenhouse, so this type of work must be done manually, and the length of the logs is usually about 1 m. However, the problem was that the labor involved was extremely demanding, as the workers had to constantly bend down to observe and take in and out the logs.

Furthermore, although the height of a greenhouse is usually high enough for a person to stand in the center, the length of the logs propped up is about 1 meter above the ground, so the temperature at the top of the logs inside the greenhouse cannot be used at all. Therefore, there was a problem in that the heat insulation energy was wasted.

This project solves the problems with the conventional cultivation method as described above, and by making it possible to arrange the logs in a well-organized manner in the greenhouse, it is possible to effectively utilize the indoor unit area, and to grow a large number of plants compared to the conventional method. Logs can be stored in the greenhouse, and a large passageway can be provided inside the greenhouse, so a transport vehicle can be used to bring in and take out the logs, thus greatly reducing the labor involved in this type of cultivation work. The purpose of this invention is to provide a cultivation device that can do the following:

In addition, in this project, logs for cultivation can be vertically supported between the upper and lower frames supported via the support legs and columns, through locking pins protruding from these frames. The latch pins for supporting logs can be moved freely along the length of the upper and lower frames, so that the appropriate spacing between the logs can be set according to the thickness of the logs being supported. It is characterized by the fact that it has been provided.

Next, the apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional side view of the central portion.

Both ends of the lower frame 3 are supported at a height of about 40 to 50 cm above the ground by a pair of inverted T-shaped support legs 1 each having casters 2 at both ends. This bottom frame 3
consists of a pair of parallel horizontal bars 4 with an interval of about 20 to 25 cm, and both horizontal bars 4 are fixed together at both ends via connecting pieces 5, and the surface is covered with logs 22 for cultivating shiitake mushrooms. A large number of upward locking pins 6 for piercing the lower end surface are protruded so as to be freely movable along the length direction of the horizontal bar 4. Each of these upward locking pins 6 has a long and thin connecting rod 8 inserted into a horizontal hole 7 provided in the center thereof, and its lower end is inserted into a groove 9 provided in the lower frame horizontal bar 4. By storing the connecting rod 8 and fixing both ends of the connecting rod 8 to the upper portions of both ends of the horizontal bar 4, it can freely move along the length direction of the horizontal rod 4 via the connecting rod 8 and the groove 9 as guide means. It is set up like this.

The lower frame 3 is supported by the support legs 1 at the connecting pieces 5 at both ends, but above the support legs 1 at both ends there are, for example, respective support legs 1 extending upwardly. Erect the pillar 10 and install the lower frame 3
An upper frame 11 similar to the lower frame 3 is supported above by the pillars 10.

The length of this support 10, that is, the interval between the lower frame 3 and the upper frame 11, is slightly larger than the length of the log 22 (usually about 1 m), so that when the log 22 is placed upright between the frames 3 and 11, the length of the log 22 is The length is such that a sufficient clearance is provided between the upper end surface and the upper end surface.

Like the lower frame 3, the upper frame 11 also consists of parallel horizontal bars 13 connected at both ends by connecting pieces 12, and each horizontal bar 13 has a large number of downward locking pins for piercing the upper end surface of the raw wood 22. 14 is provided so as to be freely movable in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal bar 13.
These downward locking pins 14 are nail-shaped with a large length of about 20 cm so that they can lock logs 22 of different lengths, and they slide vertically into the through holes 16 in the support 15. It is inserted and supported so that it can move freely. This support 15 is provided with a latching part 17 with a spring piece 18 which is clamped to the horizontal bar 13 on the opposite side of the through hole 16 through which the latching pin 14 is inserted, and the latching part 17 serves as a guide means. It is clamped and supported so that the mounting position can be set freely by removing it from the horizontal bar 13 or moving it as it is.

In use, adjust the upper and lower locking pins 6 and 14 at one end of the upper and lower frames 11 and 3 to the same position, and stick the lower end surface of the log 22 into the upward locking pin 6 of the lower frame 3. , downward locking pin 1 of upper frame 11
4 into the upper end surface of the log 22 while the log 22 is pulled upwards, and the log 22 is attached to the upper and lower locking pins 6,1
4, it is fixedly supported in a vertically erected state.
In the same way, the next log is fixed next to the previous one, but since the logs are not uniform in thickness, before fixing the next log, the upper and lower locking pins 6 and 14 are fixed according to the thickness of the next log. The position is moved and adjusted relative to the upper and lower frames 11 and 3, so that an appropriate gap is obtained between the logs that are fixed first and the logs that are fixed next so that they do not interfere with the germination and growth of the shiitake mushrooms. do. Thereafter, a large number of logs are mounted in the same manner, adjusting the positions of the upper and lower locking pins 6, 14 according to the thickness of the logs to be fixed, and then fixing the logs.
Store the entire apparatus in a greenhouse.

As described above, in the shiitake mushroom cultivation device according to the present invention, the upper and lower frames 11 and 3 made of parallel horizontal bars are supported by the support 10 and the supporting legs 1, and each of these upper and lower frames 11 and 3 has a large number of Since the locking pins 6 and 14 are provided so as to be freely movable in the length direction of both frames, a large number of cultivation logs are placed between the two frames via these locking pins, depending on the temperature conditions at the upper part of the greenhouse. They can be arranged and supported at appropriate intervals in a zone with a good temperature, and therefore the thermal efficiency of the room temperature can be improved and the heat retention energy can be used effectively.
Furthermore, since logs can be arranged vertically, compared to the conventional method of arranging logs in an inclined manner, the area inside the greenhouse required for arranging the logs can be utilized, and an increase in yield can be expected.

Furthermore, the locking pins 6, 14 provided on both the upper and lower frames 11, 3 are provided so as to be freely movable with respect to both frames, so the locking pins 6, 14 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the log. The position can be adjusted, so there is no unreasonable spacing between logs that is too large or too small as would be the case with fixed pins, and logs of uneven thickness can be spaced evenly apart from each other. It has the advantage that it can be arranged and mounted without waste. Also, the downward locking pin 1 in the upper frame 11
4 can freely adjust its mounting position, and the support 15 is securely attached to the upper frame 11, so
This has the advantage that the upper end of the log will not fall down and a reliable support state can be obtained.
