Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mushroom cultivation bottle for growing mushroom bottles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 shows a conventional mushroom cultivation bottle 30 (volume: 850 cc). The mushroom cultivation bottle 30 includes a bottle main body 31 that contains a mushroom medium,
1, a bottle shoulder 32 narrowed down from the upper end and a bottle neck 33 protruding upward from the upper end of the bottle shoulder 32 are integrally formed of synthetic resin, and the upper end of the bottle neck 33 is opened. It becomes the part 34.

[0003] Such a conventional cultivation bottle 30
Is D3 / D1 where D1 is the diameter of the bottle body 31, D2 is the diameter of the bottle neck 33, and D3 is the height of the entire bottle.
Was selected to be about 1.8 and D1 / D2 was selected to be about 1.7.

[0004]

However, the conventional cultivation bottle 30 described above has the following problems.

[0005] First, since the bottle main body 31 is relatively thick with respect to the bottle neck 33, the dead space around the bottle neck 33 increases, and the space cannot be used efficiently.

[0006] Second, when housed in a normal container,
The number of mushrooms that can be stored is 16, and there is a limit to increasing the yield (number of strains) of mushrooms.

Thirdly, there is a problem in handleability such that it is difficult to hold with one hand, and workability is deteriorated. In addition, in the automation system, the transport mechanism and the chuck mechanism for the cultivation bin become large, and the cost is increased.

The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and is capable of efficiently utilizing the space, increasing the yield of mushrooms, and dramatically improving handling and workability. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mushroom cultivation bottle capable of improving and further reducing the size and cost of an automation system.

[0009]

According to the present invention, when constructing a mushroom cultivation bottle 1 used for mushroom bottle cultivation, in particular, the diameter of the bottle body 2 is D1 and the diameter of the bottle neck 3 is D.
2. When the total height of the cultivation bottle 1 is D3, D3 /
Set D1 in the range of 2.5 to 3.0, and D1 / D2
Is set in the range of 1.1 to 1.3.
In addition, the diameter of the bottle cap 4 attached to the bottle neck 3 is D
If 4, then D2 <D4 ≦ D1 is set.

[0010]

According to the mushroom cultivation bottle 1 of the present invention, since (height D3) / (diameter D1) is set in the range of 2.5 to 3.0, the whole cultivation bottle 1 has a vertically long shape and is constant. When the volume of the bottle 1 is secured, the diameter D1 of the bottle main body 2 is reduced, and the overall height D3 of the cultivation bottle 1 is increased. Therefore, since the diameter D1 of the bottle main body 2 can be reduced, when the size of the container that stores the cultivation bottle 1 is constant, the number of the cultivation bottles 1 that can be stored is increased as compared with the conventional cultivation bottles. Mushroom yield (shares)
Also increases. In addition, since the cultivation bottle 1 can be easily held with one hand, the handling and workability are dramatically improved, and the size and cost of the transport mechanism and the chuck mechanism are reduced in the automation system.

On the other hand, (diameter D1) / (diameter D2) is calculated as follows.
If the diameter is set to D4 and the diameter of the bottle cap 4 attached to the bottle neck 3 is set to D1 <1.3, then D2 <
If D4 ≦ D1 is set, the dead space around the bottle neck 3 is almost eliminated, and the space can be efficiently utilized.

[0012]

Next, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, the configuration of the mushroom cultivation bottle 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

The mushroom cultivation bottle 1 is integrally molded with a synthetic resin so as to be semitransparent. As a synthetic resin,

As a result, as compared with the case of molding using only polypropylene, fine particles of silicone are uniformly dispersed in polypropylene, the frictional resistance on the bottle surface is significantly reduced, and the elasticity and heat resistance are improved.

The mushroom cultivation bottle 1 includes a cylindrical bottle main body 2 for accommodating a mushroom culture medium, a bottle shoulder 5 slightly narrowed from the upper end of the bottle main body 2 to the center, and an upper end of the bottle shoulder 5. The upper end of the bottle neck 3 is an opened bottle mouth 6.
In addition, the upper end outer peripheral surface of the bottle neck portion 3 has a thickly formed locking portion 7.

In this case, when the diameter of the bottle body 2 is D1, the diameter of the bottle neck 3 is D2, and the overall height of the cultivation bottle 1 is D3, D3 / D1 is 2.5 to 3.0. , Preferably about 2.7, and D1 / D2 in the range of 1.1 to 1.3, preferably about 1.2.

On the other hand, 4 is a bottle cap to be attached to the bottle neck portion 3 of the cultivation bottle 1. The bottle cap 4 includes an upper cap portion Cu and a lower cap portion Cd. Lower cap part Cd
Has a cylindrical mounting portion 11 that can be attached to and detached from the outer periphery of the bottle neck portion 3 of the cultivation bottle 1, and has an upper surface portion 12 integrally with an upper end edge of the mounting portion 11, and an inner peripheral edge of the upper surface portion 12. Has an inner cylindrical connecting portion 13 that stands upward. In addition, concave notch ventilation portions 15 are provided at four positions on the upper edge of the inner connecting portion 13 at equal intervals, and a plurality of ridge locking portions 16 long in the circumferential direction are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the inner connecting portion 13. Are provided integrally.

Further, an inner cover portion 17 is integrally provided inside the inner peripheral surface of the inner connecting portion 13, and a culture medium pushing portion 18 bulging downward is provided at the center side of the inner cover portion 17. The mushroom culture medium in the cultivation bottle 1 is pressed by the culture medium pressing portion 18, so that the so-called bacteria circulation is improved. Further, on the inner cover portion 17, there is provided an upright partition portion 19 which faces each of the notch ventilation portions 15 at a predetermined interval, and an inner cover which is close to and inside each partition portion 19. On the portion 17, ventilation holes 20 are provided. Due to the cutout vents 15, the partition 19, and the vents 20, the path between the notch vents 15 and the vents 20 becomes a zigzag path and becomes substantially longer, and bacteria and the like enter. It becomes difficult to do. A not-shown urethane filter having air permeability is accommodated inside the partitions 19.

On the other hand, the upper cap portion Cu is
The outer cover 21 has an outer edge integrally formed with a shielding portion 22 extending downward, and a lower surface of the outer cover portion 21 has a cylindrical outer connecting portion 23 having a smaller diameter than the shielding portion 22.
Have integrally. The outer diameter of the shielding portion 22 is the same as the mounting portion 11
Is formed to have substantially the same outer diameter as In addition, vent holes 24 are provided at equal intervals at four circumferential positions of the outer connecting portion 23 facing the lower surface of the outer cover portion 21.
Are provided integrally with a plurality of ridge-locked portions 25 that are long in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the outer connecting portion 23 can be fitted by being fitted to the outside of the inner connecting portion 13, and the ridge locked portions 25 and the ridge locking portions 16 are mutually locked. Such a bottle cap 4
Ventilates the inside of the cultivation bottle 1 and prevents invasion of various bacteria into the inside.

When the diameter of the bottle cap 4 is D4, the diameter D4 of the bottle cap 4 is selected so that D2 <D4 ≦ D1 with respect to the cultivation bottle 1.

Next, the function of the mushroom cultivation bottle 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

The cultivation bottle 1 is (height D3) / (diameter D
Since 1) is set in the range of 2.5 to 3.0, the entire cultivation bottle 1 has a vertically long shape, and when a certain volume is secured, the diameter D1 of the bottle body 2 becomes relatively small and cultivation is performed. The overall height D3 of the bin 1 is relatively large. Therefore, when the cultivation bins 1 ... Are housed in the container 50 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the number of the cultivation bins 1 that can be housed increases and the mushroom yield increases. Specifically, when the cultivation bin 1 according to the present embodiment is accommodated in a container capable of accommodating 16 conventional 850 cc cultivation bottles (FIG. 6), 36 containers can be accommodated.

When the vertically elongated cultivation bins 1 are accommodated in the container 50, the cultivation bins 1 are unstable and easily fall down. Are provided integrally. In this case, six standing holding pieces 51 ... Are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction with respect to one cultivation bottle 1. One standing holding piece 51 is composed of a vertical holding piece body 52 that can come into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cultivation bottle 1, and a triangular rib portion 53 integrally formed with the holding piece body 52. The rib portion 53 is arranged in a tangential direction with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the cultivation bottle 1. Thereby, while the strength of the holding piece main body 52 is increased,
When the cultivation bottle 1 is stored, easy elastic deformation is secured.
In addition, only the holding piece main body 52s that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the cultivation bin 1 is integrally formed on the side surface 50s of the container 50.

On the other hand, since the cultivation bottle 1 can be easily held by one hand, the handling and workability can be dramatically improved. In addition, the transport mechanism and the chuck mechanism of the automation system can be downsized.

Also, (diameter D1) / (diameter D2) is set to 1.
1 to 1.3 and (Diameter D2) <
Since (diameter D4) ≦ (diameter D1) is set, the dead space around the bottle neck 3 is almost eliminated as shown in FIG. 4, and the space can be efficiently utilized.

The embodiment has been described in detail above.
The present invention is not limited to such an embodiment,
The configuration, shape, quantity, material, method, and the like of the details can be arbitrarily changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
