Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention uses a mushroom cultivation aid suitable for cultivation of mushrooms, particularly mushrooms such as shimeji and maitake mushrooms, whose lower ends are gathered in a line and a cultivation aid. It relates to a mushroom cultivation method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, mushroom cultivation has been performed by
Mix a prescribed ratio of nutrients, such as powdered sawdust, bran, bran, etc., and water into a growth bottle, and fill the growth bottle with the mixture that will become the bacterial bed, and clean the surface of the filled mixture. After performing the step of forming a bacterial bed to form a spherical surface, a sterilization step of storing the growth bottle on which the bacterial bed is formed in, for example, a high-pressure sterilization pot and heating for a predetermined time to sterilize is performed. After the growth bottle that has been sterilized is naturally cooled, a seeding process in which this seed, for example, shimeji seed, which has been conveyed to the clean room, is inoculated on a bacterial bed in the growth bottle is performed.

[0003] After the inoculation step, the growth bottle is stored in each compartment of a box-shaped container having an open upper surface and an interior divided into 4 rows and 4 columns, and is placed in a culture chamber and cultured. Is performed. The temperature and humidity of the culture chamber are adjusted to the temperature and humidity suitable for culture by the action of an air conditioner and a humidifier. Then, when the inoculum is sufficiently cultured under moderate temperature and humidity, the container containing the growth bottle is moved to the generation room,
A growth process is performed in which the plant is laid on a shelf of a shelf member having a plurality of upper and lower shelves for growth.

[0004] The growth process is divided into a germination growth process and a suppressed growth process. First, the growth bottle after the cultivation process is placed in a container in an upward direction where the bacteria bed of the growth bottle does not hit the bacterial bed of the growth bottle. A germination and growth process is performed in which the germination is carried out by placing the sprouts on a shelf for a predetermined number of days.

[0005] After the germination and growth process is completed, the growth bottle is transferred to a lower shelf to which light from the lighting device shines while being housed in a container. An inhibitory growing step for growing is performed. Then, the growth bottle in which the suppression growth process has been completed is transferred to the shipping process.

[0006] In the shipping process, an operator manually removes and harvests the shimeji from the fungus bed of the growth bottle, puts the harvested shimeji in a packaging container, and packages it with a wrap film.
This is boxed and shipped.

[0007]

However, in the cultivation of the above-described mushrooms, the cultivation process, the germination and breeding process, and the suppression and breeding process can be managed to uniformly manage the state of growth of the growing mushrooms, for example, shimeji. However, it was difficult to evenly manage the outer shape of the growing shimeji. That is, it has been difficult to evenly manage the appearance of a product that greatly affects the product value.

[0008] If the grown shimeji is not uniform in outer shape, the shime cap is sandwiched between the opening edge of the packaging container and the wrap film when the harvested shimeji is put in a packaging container and packed. The so-called "biting" easily occurs, causing packaging failure. When this biting occurs, the sandwiched portion is broken, broken or damaged, and the commercial value is reduced.

[0009] In addition, when harvesting, the work of manually picking out from the growth bottle one by one by the worker is not only a heavy labor but also a poor work efficiency.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mushroom cultivation aid and a method for cultivating the mushroom, which can easily grow the mushrooms with uniform outer shapes and can improve the efficiency of the mushroom harvesting operation.

[0011]

And a step of cultivating the mushrooms.

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A is a plan view of a mushroom cultivation aid (hereinafter referred to as a cultivation aid 1) according to the present invention,
2B is a cross-sectional view of the cultivation aid 1, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing a state where the cultivation aid 1 is attached to the growth bottle 2.

The mushroom cultivation aid 1 is used by being attached to a growth container such as a growth bottle 2 filled with a mixture serving as a bacterial bed on which mushrooms are inoculated. It is used in the germinating and growing step of growing.

The cultivation aid 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used for growing shimeji by using a growth bottle 2 as a growth container and attaching it to a growth opening 3 opened at the upper end of the growth bottle 2. Yes, the growth guides 5 are integrally molded in a state of being connected in a horizontal direction at equal intervals of 4 rows and 4 columns to a plastic plate of a substantially square shape adapted to the shape and size of the container 4 for storing the growth bottle 2. .

The growth guide section 5 has a tapered cylindrical shape whose inner side is gradually increased from the lower side to the upper side and whose upper and lower sides are opened. In the present embodiment, the lower end portion of the growth guide portion 5 is just inserted into the growth opening portion 3 of the growth bottle 2 so that the lower end opening portion 6 can be attached to the growth bottle 2 while communicating with the growth opening portion 3. The inner diameter of the upper opening 7 is set to be larger than the inner diameter of the growth opening 3 of the growth bottle 2 so that the inner peripheral surface connecting the lower opening 6 and the upper opening 7 can be fitted. Become a smooth taper surface, as a whole,
It is molded so as to have a hollow mortar shape whose diameter increases upward. The growth guide section 5 divides the interior of the container 4 into four rows and four columns by partitioning members to form partitions, and stores one growth bottle 2 in each partition. Are arranged at the same interval as. Therefore, a plane portion between the adjacent growth guide portions 5 functions as a connecting portion 9 for connecting the growth guides.

In order to attach the cultivation aid 1 having the above structure to the growth bottle 2, the growth bottle 2 in which the seeds of shimeji are planted is placed in each compartment of the container 4, and the cultivation assistance is provided from above the growth bottle 2. The lowering portion of each growth guide portion 5 is inserted into the growth opening 3 of the growth bottle 2 by lowering so as to cover the tool 1. When the cultivation aid 1 is attached in this manner,
As shown in FIG. 3, the opening edge of the lower end opening 6 of each growth guide portion 5 is placed on the surface of the bacterial bed 10, and most of the surface of the bacterial bed 10 is surrounded by the lower end opening 6. Therefore,
When germinated from the surface of the bacterial bed 10, the sprouts grow in the growth guide section 5.

In the present embodiment shown in the drawings, the lower end opening 6 of the growth guide 5 is made to abut on the surface of the bacterial bed 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. The size of the growth guide portion 5 may be set so that the lower end opening 6 slightly floats from the surface of the bacterial bed 10 in contact with the opening edge of the growth opening 3 of the growth bottle 2. Further, the lower end portion of the growth guide portion 5 may be formed of a cylindrical body having the same diameter so as to extend substantially in parallel along the inner peripheral surface of the growth opening portion 3. When the lower end portion of the growth guide portion 5 is formed into a straight cylindrical body, the gap between the growth guide portion 5 and the inner peripheral surface of the growth opening portion 3 can be minimized. It is possible to minimize the area of the surface of the bacterial bed 10 that is outside the lower end opening 6 of the growth guide portion 5. Therefore, germination outside the lower end opening 6 can be prevented, and the cultivation aid 1 can be prevented from being lifted by the germinated mushroom.

Next, a method for cultivating shimeji using the cultivation aid 1 will be described. In the present embodiment, the germination growth step and the suppressed growth step are performed by attaching the cultivation step to the growth bottle 2 housed in the container 4 after the culture step is completed. That is,
Before germination, the cultivation aid 1 is attached. Therefore, the growth bottle 2 after the culturing step is stored in the container 4 and the cultivation auxiliary tool 1 is attached to the growth opening 3, and is transferred to the generation room where the germination growth step and the suppressed growth step are performed.

Then, in the germination and growth process, germination occurs in the lower end opening 6 of the growth guide portion 5. The germinated shimeji is carried out until the growth of the shade or the stem reaches a predetermined size in the suppression growth process.

In the suppressed growth step, as shown in FIG. 4, the growth is free, but the growth in the lateral direction is controlled by the inner peripheral surface of the growth guide portion 5. For this reason, the outer shape of the shimeji in each growth guide section 5 is corrected to the shape of the growth guide section 5. And, since the temperature and humidity are sufficiently controlled, the growth rate can be made uniform, whereby the degree of growth and the manner of spreading in the horizontal direction are not uniform, in other words, having a uniform outer shape and size. Shimeji can be grown.

Since one cultivation aid 1 is used for a plurality of growth bottles 2 and a plurality of growth guide portions 5 are connected, one growth guide portion 5 is attached to each growth bottle 2. In comparison with the case, the management is easier and the outer shape and size of the shimeji are easy to be evenly arranged. That is, when the growth guide unit 5 is of a single type that is not connected, it must be mounted on the growth bottle 2 one by one, which is not only troublesome and troublesome, but also increases the growth when mounted. The angle and depth with respect to the bottle 2 are slightly different, and the angle between the growth bottle 2 and the growth guide unit 5 is likely to change due to vibration during transportation. For this reason, despite the fact that the growth guide unit 5 is mounted and cultivated in the same container 4, the outer shape and the size tend to be irregular. On the other hand, when using the cultivation aid 1 in which the plurality of growth guides 5 are connected,
It can be easily mounted on a plurality of growth bottles 2 by a single mounting operation, and the angles and depths of the growth bottles 2 can be easily adjusted to each other.
It is difficult to change the posture such as the angle with respect to.

When a plurality of growth guides 5 are connected and cultivated with the integrated cultivation aid 1, shimeji grown in one container 4 can be collectively harvested in the harvesting process. it can. That is, when the cultivation aid 1 and the growth bottle 2 are relatively separated in the vertical direction, the inner peripheral surface of each growth guide portion 5 is inclined, so that the shimeji is supported by the inner peripheral surface of the growth guide portion 5. As a result, the lower end of the shimeji shaft is simultaneously removed from the bacterial bed 10 without falling down. Therefore, by raising the cultivation aid 1, the shimeji of multiple strains grown in one container 4 can be simultaneously removed from the bacterial bed 10. This operation can be automated by the harvesting device 20.

For example, the shimeji which has sufficiently grown is taken down from the shelf together with the container 4 with the cultivation aid 1 mounted thereon, and as shown in FIG. Moved up. Belt conveyor 2
When the container 4 placed on the container 1 moves in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5, the end portions of the plurality of lift suppression rails 22 arranged at predetermined intervals substantially horizontally from the downstream side in the traveling direction are attached to the respective growth bottles 2.
And a plurality of rail-shaped lift members 23 provided at a position slightly above the shoulders so as to prevent the growth bottle 2 from rising, and at the same time, slightly inclined downward from the downstream side to the upstream side in the traveling direction.
Is inserted into the lower surface of the flat part of the cultivation aid 1. When the container 4 is further moved in this state, the growth bottle 2 is suppressed by the rise suppressing rail 22 and does not rise, but the cultivation aid 1 is lifted up by the lift member 23.

When the cultivation aid 1 rises with respect to the growth bottle 2, the inner peripheral surface of the growth guide 5 is formed as a tapered surface whose diameter increases upward. The shimeji strain thus obtained is lifted while being supported by the respective tapered surfaces, whereby the lower end of the shimeji strain (lower end of the shimeji shaft) is separated from the surface of the bacterial bed 10 at a time. In addition,
In the present embodiment, since the cultivation auxiliary tool 1 is raised in an inclined state, the cultivation auxiliary tool 1 is smoothly separated from the end of one shimeji strain. And the growth bottle 2 and container 4 from which the shimeji leaves
Moves on the belt conveyor 21 as it is, and is cleaned for the next use.

The portion where the growth bottle 2 is pressed by the rise suppressing rail 22 is not limited to the shoulder portion of the growth bottle 2, and a fitting recess for fitting the rise suppressing rail 22 is formed on the trunk side of the growth bottle 2. In addition, the growth bottle 2 may be held down by fitting the rise suppressing rail 22 into the fitting recess.
In addition, the cultivation aid 1
And the growth bottle 2 may be relatively separated in the vertical direction, so that the growth bottle 2 may be lowered.

In the cultivation aid 1 thus removed from the growth bottle 2, the lift member 23 is tilted to a substantially horizontal state, and the lift member 23 is rotated by about 90 degrees in the horizontal direction. It is transported from above the conveyor 21 onto a stock removal device 24 which constitutes a part of the harvesting device 20.

The stock removal device 24 is provided for each of the growth guide units 5.
It comprises a push-up member 25 that pushes up the shimeji stock from below and removes it from the growth guide section 5, a stock receiving member 26 that receives the shimeji stock that has been pushed up, and a drive device that drives these. The push-up members 25 are provided corresponding to the number of the growth guide sections 5,
Dish 27 having a smaller diameter than the lower end opening 6 of the plate
And a vertically moving shaft 28 connected to a lower portion of the plate portion 27 and vertically moved upward and downward. A plurality of needles 29 having a sharp tip are provided on the upper surface of the plate portion 27. In addition, the stock receiving member 26 has a passage groove 30 having a width larger than the diameter of the dish 27 of each push-up member 25 but smaller than the diameter of the shimeji strain, that is, smaller than the lower end opening 6 of the growth guide portion 5. Is a plate-like member formed in parallel by the number (four in the present embodiment) corresponding to the row or the column of the air cylinder 31.
, The push-up member 25 can move forward and backward in the horizontal direction slightly below the raised position.

Therefore, when the push-up member 25 of the stock removal device 24 is raised, as shown in FIG. 7, the shimeji stock in each of the growth guide members 5 can be pushed up from below and removed. Even if the shimeji stock is pushed up, the lower surface of the shimeji stock is supported by the plate portion 27 and the needle 29 is pierced, so that the shimeji stock does not fall.

When the stock receiving member 26 is advanced in this state, the lifting shaft 25 of the push-up member 25 passes through the passage groove 30 and is located below the shimeji stock without any trouble. When the push-up member 25 is lowered in this state, the push-up member 25 passes through the inside of the passage groove 30 and descends below the stock receiving member 26. However, since the shimeji stock is thicker than the passage groove 30, it must pass through the passage groove 30. Is removed from the push-up member 25 and remains on the stock receiving member 26. Therefore, the stock receiving member 26
, Only the harvested shimeji strains can be sent to the next packaging process. On the other hand, the cultivation auxiliary tool 1 is sent to a cleaning step in preparation for the next use. Also, the lift member 23
Is rotated back by 90 degrees to return on the belt conveyor 21,
It stands by to lift the cultivation aid 1 from the next container 4.

The harvesting device 20 can automatically harvest the shimeji strain from the sequentially sent containers 4 by repeating the above operation.

Thus, when the cultivation aid 1 is used,
The shape of the shimeji strain to be grown can be made uniform, and the harvesting of a plurality of shimeji strains can be automated.

The cultivation aid 1 is not limited to the one provided with the growth guides 5 of 4 rows and 4 columns, but may be adapted to the cultivation equipment by changing the number and arrangement of the growth guides 5. Good.

The growth guide part 5 integrally molded with the cultivation aid 1 has an inner method gradually increasing from the lower side to the upper side, and opens up and down, and the lower end opening 6 communicates with the growth opening 3. What is necessary is just to be able to attach to a growth container in a state. For example, as shown in FIG.
Is formed at a lower portion of the cylindrical portion 32 having substantially the same height as the open cylindrical portion (neck portion) 31 of the growth bottle 2 and having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the open cylindrical portion 31. The diameter may be gradually increased upward from the upper end of the portion 32.

Further, as shown in FIG.
The inner diameter of the lower end opening 6 may be larger than the outer diameter of the opening cylindrical portion 31 of the growth bottle 2, and may be gradually increased upward from the lower end opening 6. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10, only the height of the opening tubular portion 31 of the growth bottle 2 may be the tubular portion 32. In these growth guide portions 5, the opening cylindrical portion 31 of the growth bottle 2 is housed in the growth guide portion 5 from the lower end opening 6 of the growth guide portion 5, and the growth guide portion 5 is provided.
Is placed on the shoulder of the growth bottle 2, so that the height of the growth guide portion 5 and the height of the growth bottle 2 are easily aligned when the cultivation aid 1 is attached.

Further, in order to make the height of the growth guide 5 and the growth bottle 2 uniform, as shown in FIG. 11, the opening cylindrical portion 31 of the growth bottle 2 is formed around the lower end opening 6 of the growth guide 5. A fitting groove 33 that fits with the upper peripheral edge may be formed. And
As shown in FIG. 12, the fitting groove 33 may be formed in the middle of the outer peripheral surface of the growth guide 5 in the vertical direction.

Each of the above-mentioned growth guides 5 has a circular internal shape, but the shape is not limited to this and may be a square. When the internal shape of the growth guide portion 5 is formed corresponding to the internal shape of the mushroom storage container, for example, if the mushroom storage container is cylindrical, the shape is circular; Can also be substantially square. In this way, the grown shimeji has a shape similar to that of the storage container, so that it can be easily stored, and when packaging the storage container with a wrap film, the edge of the storage container is not pinched by the edge of the storage container. Does not occur. In addition, since the shape of the mushroom grown is the same as the internal shape of the storage container, it fits well when stored, reducing wasted space, reducing the bulk of the storage container and reducing transportation costs. Can contribute to

In each of the above-described growth guide portions 5, the upper end openings 7 are connected to each other by a flat connecting portion 9.
As shown in FIG. 3, they may be connected in the middle of the height. In this case, as shown in FIG. 14, when the connecting portion 9 is placed on the upper end of the growth bottle 2, the height of the growth bottle 2 and the height of the growth guide portion 5 are easily aligned.

The cultivation aid 1 described so far is
The grown mushroom comes into direct contact with the inner surface of the growth guide portion 5, but avoids contact with the growth guide portion 5 which has been provided in the growth guide portion 5 in a state where the separator 40 can be detached. You may comprise so that the whole separator 40 can be harvested. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a substantially cylindrical or pot-shaped separator 40 made of a thin synthetic resin and opened at the top and bottom is fitted into the growth guide 5 from above and attached to the inner peripheral surface of the growth guide 5. . When the mushrooms are cultivated in this state, as shown in FIG. 4, the mushrooms are corrected for expansion by the growth guide unit 5, grow to a uniform outer shape, and grow sufficiently, as in the above-described embodiment. The tool 1 is simultaneously removed from the bacterial bed 10 by lifting. In this state, the mushroom is not in direct contact with the inner surface of the growth guide portion 5, so that the mushroom can be easily removed from the growth guide portion 5 only by raising the separator 40. And
In this state, that is, when a packaging (packing) process such as bagging or wrapping with a wrapping film is performed in a state where mushrooms are contained in the separator 40, the mushrooms are protected by the separator 40, so that the mushrooms are hardly damaged, and furthermore, packaging is performed. Is easier to handle. Therefore,
Use of the separator 40 can improve harvesting and packaging workability. Further, even during the transportation, the mushroom is protected in the separator 40, so that damage is reduced. The separator 40 shown in the drawing has a flange at the upper end opening, but instead of the flange, a knob is protruded from the upper opening of the growth guide 5 and the knob is manually or gripper of an automatic machine. Alternatively, the separator 40 may be taken out by picking it.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the growth bottle 2 is used as the growth container, but the cultivation aid 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the one attached to the growth bottle 2. For example, a growth container having a plurality of growth openings 3 formed on the upper surface of a container larger than the conventional growth bottle 2 may be used.
And the kind of mushroom to be cultivated is not limited to the shimeji.
