Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of edible fungus cultivation, and in particular to an intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine. Background Art

[0002] Edible mushroom log cultivation is a traditional method of edible mushroom production, which mainly uses logs as culture medium and realizes artificial cultivation by simulating the growth environment of mycelium under natural conditions. Its core processes mainly include log drilling, fungus inoculation and capping. First, log drilling requires drilling inoculation holes on the wood surface at a specific interval, followed by fungus inoculation, filling the artificially cultivated fungus into the holes and compacting them. Finally, the inoculation holes are closed through the capping process to achieve physical isolation of miscellaneous bacteria, reduce water loss, and create a stable microenvironment for mycelium.

[0003] In the related art, log punching, bacterial inoculation and capping are usually carried out separately, and manual intervention is performed in each process to align the equipment used for bacterial inoculation and capping with the inoculation holes processed by the log punching equipment to ensure that bacterial inoculation and capping can be carried out normally. Since this method requires manual movement of logs during the bacterial inoculation and capping processes, it is inefficient and labor-intensive. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides an intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine, which improves the problem of low efficiency and high labor intensity in the prior art that logs need to be manually moved to align the inoculation holes of the logs with the equipment, and can realize automatic alignment of the inoculation holes of the logs.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine, comprising:

[0006] The log conveying device includes a conveyor belt and a log positioning assembly, the log positioning assembly is installed on the conveyor belt along the width direction of the conveyor belt and is arranged corresponding to the log punching device, the fungus inoculation device and the capping device, and the log positioning assembly is at least used to limit the axial rotation of the log;

[0007] A log punching device, the log punching device is arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt, and the log punching device is used to process inoculation holes on the surface of the log;

[0008] A fungus seed inoculation device, the fungus seed inoculation device is arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt and is arranged at intervals from the log punching device along the running direction of the conveyor belt;

[0009] A capping device, the capping device is arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt and is arranged on a side of the fungus inoculation device away from the log punching device along the running direction of the conveyor belt;

[0010] A clamping device, the clamping device is installed on the log punching device, the fungus inoculation device and the capping device, and is arranged corresponding to each of the log positioning assemblies, and the clamping device is used to clamp and rotate the log. When in use, the log is installed on the log positioning assembly, the conveyor belt transfers the log and the log positioning assembly to the log punching device, and the clamping device installed on the log punching device clamps and rotates both ends of the log, so that the log punching device can process inoculation holes on the outer peripheral surface of the log. After the punching is completed, the clamping device installed on the log punching device rotates the log to the same posture as before the inoculation hole is processed, the log positioning assembly restores the restriction on the movement of the log, and the conveyor belt transfers the log after the punching and the log positioning assembly to the bacterial inoculation device. Since the posture of the log is the same as before the inoculation hole is processed, the inoculation hole on the side of the log facing the bacterial inoculation device has been aligned with the bacterial inoculation device. It is only necessary to rotate the clamping device installed on the bacterial inoculation device at the same step angle as the clamping device installed on the log punching device, so that the inoculation holes on different sides of the log can be aligned with the bacterial inoculation device, thereby completing the bacterial inoculation. Similarly, the log can also be aligned with the capping device in the same way to complete the capping. The intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of the present invention can realize the automatic alignment of the inoculation holes of the log, which helps to improve the efficiency of edible fungus cultivation and reduce labor intensity.

[0011] As an optional technical solution, the log punching device includes:

[0012] A guide rail, wherein the extending direction of the guide rail forms an acute angle or a right angle with the running direction of the conveyor belt;

[0013] A drilling assembly, wherein the number of the drilling assemblies is multiple, and the drilling assembly comprises a drill bit and a slider, wherein the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the drill bit is rotatably connected to the end of the slider along the extension direction of the guide rail;

[0014] A punching positioning assembly, the punching positioning assembly is connected to the drill bit, the punching positioning assembly comprises two positioning parts, the extending direction of the positioning parts forms an acute angle with the extending direction of the drill bit, and the extending directions of the two positioning parts form an equal angle with the extending direction of the drill bit, and the connecting line direction between the two positioning parts forms an acute angle or a right angle with the rotating axis direction between the drill bit and the slider;

[0015] The clamping device is arranged on a side of the drilling assembly away from the guide rail, the clamping device is arranged corresponding to the drill bit, the clamping device is used to clamp and rotate the wood segment, and the rotation axis direction is parallel to the rotation axis direction between the drill bit and the slider;

[0016] Wherein, the positioning part is at least partially closer to the clamping device relative to the drill bit along the extension direction of the guide rail. When in use, the clamping device clamps the two end faces of the wood segment, the drilling assembly and the punching positioning assembly slide along the guide rail and approach the wood segment, the positioning part will contact the wood segment before the drill bit, and make the wood segment approach the drill bit between the two positioning parts. Since the drill bit connected to the punching positioning assembly can rotate relative to the slider, as the punching positioning assembly continues to slide along the guide rail, the punching positioning assembly will also slide around the surface of the wood segment, and finally the side faces of the two positioning parts facing each other will contact the outer peripheral surface of the wood segment at the same time, at this time, the side faces of the two positioning parts are tangent to the outer peripheral surface of the wood segment, and the direction of the bisector of the angle formed by the two positioning parts, that is, the extension direction of the drill bit, intersects with the axis of the wood segment, so that the inoculation hole processed by the drill bit is along the radial direction of the wood segment, which is conducive to reducing the number of times the inoculation equipment in the subsequent process extends into the inoculation hole to inoculate the bacteria, and improves the efficiency of bacterial inoculation.

[0017] As an optional technical solution, the drilling assembly also includes a connecting portion, the connecting portion is rotatably connected to the slider, and the drill bit is slidably connected to the connecting portion perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the connecting portion and the slider. Since the log is clamped by the clamping device and is restricted from moving in the horizontal direction, when the drilling and positioning assembly slides around the outer peripheral surface of the log to a large extent, the drilling and positioning assembly needs to rely on the sliding of the drill bit along the connecting portion to maintain contact with the outer peripheral surface of the log, otherwise it can only rely on the matching clearance between the components and the elastic deformation to slide slightly. It can be seen that the present technical solution can increase the sliding amplitude of the drilling and positioning assembly, so that the log drilling device can process inoculation holes along the radial direction of the log on logs with a wider diameter range.

[0018] As an optional technical solution, the guide rail, the drilling assembly and the punching positioning assembly form a punching system, and the number of the punching systems is multiple, and the guide rails of the multiple punching systems are arranged in parallel and at intervals;

[0019] The drilling assembly further includes an abutment portion, one end of which is connected to the slider and the other end of which extends away from the guide rail;

[0020] The segment wood punching device also includes a driving component, which includes a driving rod, a rotating shaft and a first connecting rod. The driving rod is arranged along the connecting line direction between the plurality of guide rails, and the driving rod is arranged on the side of the abutting portion facing the drill bit, and the abutting portion abuts the driving rod; the rotating shaft is arranged parallel to the driving rod, and one side of the first connecting rod is connected to the driving rod and the other side is connected to the rotating shaft. When in use, the rotating shaft rotates, so that the first connecting rod drives the driving rod to move down, and the drilling assembly loses the constraint of the driving rod, and can approach the segment wood under the action of gravity, and start drilling from the surface of the segment wood, and the inoculation holes of the same depth can be drilled by adjusting the length of the drill bit and other means. After the drilling is completed, the rotating shaft rotates in the opposite direction, so that the driving rod abuts the abutting portion, thereby resetting the plurality of the punching systems at one time. The segment wood punching device of the present technical solution does not need to provide a separate driving source for each of the punching systems, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing and use costs of the intelligent segment wood punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine.

[0021] As an optional technical solution, the drive assembly also includes a handle and a second connecting rod, one end of the second connecting rod is connected to the rotating shaft, the angle between the line connecting the end of the second connecting rod to the rotating shaft and the line connecting the end of the first connecting rod away from the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft is an obtuse angle or a straight angle, and a counterweight is provided at the end of the second connecting rod; the handle is connected to the rotating shaft. The handle can be used to manually control the rise and fall of the drive rod, thereby controlling the switching of the log punching device between the punching state and the reset state, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing and use costs of the intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping machine. The counterweight can reduce the difficulty of operating the handle and achieve the effect of saving labor.

[0022] As an optional technical solution, it also includes:

[0023] A feeding assembly, the feeding assembly comprising a first material bin and a stirring component, the stirring component being rotatably disposed in the first material bin;

[0024] An inoculation assembly, the inoculation assembly comprising an inoculation tube, the inoculation tube being connected to the first silo and arranged along the secant direction of the rotation trajectory of the stirring component, the communication port between the inoculation tube and the first silo being arranged corresponding to the stirring component;

[0025] Wherein, the stirring component is at least used to transport the bacteria into the inoculation tube.

[0026] The feeding assembly and the inoculation assembly are installed in the bacterial strain inoculation device. When in use, the bacterial strain to be inoculated is stored in the first silo, and the log to be inoculated is installed corresponding to the inoculation tube. Before inoculation, the stirring component rotates so that the bacterial strain in the first silo follows the movement to avoid clogging of the bacterial strain, and at the same time, the bacterial strain is transported into the inoculation tube, so that the bacterial strain in the inoculation tube is full or nearly full each time inoculation, thereby improving the consistency of the amount of inoculated bacterial strains during multiple inoculations, and further having a favorable effect on the yield and quality of edible fungi.

[0027] As an optional technical solution, the inoculation assembly also includes a sleeve, a piston and a valve plate. The sleeve is connected to the first silo and is arranged corresponding to the stirring component. The inoculation tube is slidably arranged inside the sleeve and is connected to the first silo through the connecting port between the sleeve and the first silo. The piston is slidably arranged on the inoculation tube. The valve plate is arranged at the end of the inoculation tube, and the valve plate is used to close when the pressure on the valve plate is less than a threshold value and to open when the pressure on the valve plate is greater than or equal to the threshold value. Before inoculation, the stirring component rotates to fill the inoculation tube with bacteria. At this time, the pressure on the valve plate is less than the threshold value, and the valve plate remains closed, which is beneficial to prevent the bacteria from spilling from the inoculation tube. During inoculation, the inoculation tube and the piston slide axially along the sleeve until the edge of the inoculation tube contacts the edge of the inoculation hole on the log, and the inoculation tube stops moving. At this time, the piston continues to move, and cooperates with the closed valve plate to compact the bacteria in the inoculation tube until the pressure on the valve plate reaches the threshold value. The piston continues to move so that the compacted bacteria enters the inoculation hole of the log to complete the inoculation. The magnitude of the pressure on the bacteria is the threshold value. Since the inoculation tube continues to move toward the log before contacting the surface of the log, the intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of the present technical solution can adapt to logs of different diameters and complete the inoculation. At the same time, the valve plate makes the bacteria in the inoculation tube be subjected to a pressure of the threshold value and then inoculated into the log, so as to achieve the purpose of constant pressure, which is conducive to making the internal tissue of the bacteria inoculated into the log by the inoculation tube uniform and reducing the difference in the quality of edible fungi grown by the bacteria.

[0028] As an optional technical solution, the stirring component includes a first blade and a second blade, the first blade and the second blade are coaxially arranged, and the angle between the extension direction of the first blade and the extension direction of the second blade is an acute angle or a right angle, the first blade is arranged at the feed port of the first silo, and the second blade is arranged at the connecting port between the first silo and the inoculation tube. When the fungus enters the first silo, it needs to pass through the rotation track of the first blade. At this time, the first blade can break up the clumps of fungus entering the first silo, thereby improving the uniformity of the fungus; the fungus broken up by the first blade is then loaded into the inoculation tube by the second blade, so that the internal tissue of the fungus inoculated into the log by the inoculation tube is uniform, which is conducive to reducing the difference in the quality of edible fungi grown from the fungus.

[0029] As an optional technical solution, the feeding assembly also includes a second silo, which is connected to the feed port of the first silo, has a larger volume than the first silo, and is used to provide bacterial strains to the first silo. Since the stirring component is provided in the first silo, in order to avoid excessive resistance when the stirring component rotates, the first silo needs to limit its volume, thereby limiting the amount of bacterial strains contained therein. By providing a second silo with a volume larger than that of the first silo, a large amount of bacterial strains can be stored in the second silo, and the second silo continuously supplies bacterial strains to the first silo, the frequency of adding bacterial strains to the bacterial strain inoculation device of the present technical solution can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the inoculation efficiency.

[0030] As an optional technical solution, the feed assembly and the inoculation assembly are also installed in the capping device. Since the material used for the capping has similar physical properties to the strain itself, the capping device and the strain inoculation device can use the same feed assembly and inoculation assembly to complete the capping operation, which is conducive to reducing the types of parts and spare parts of the intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of this embodiment, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance.

[0031] One or more technical solutions provided by the present invention have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0032] The intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of the present invention is provided with a log conveying device, and a log punching device, a strain inoculation device and a capping device are sequentially provided corresponding to the conveyor belt of the log conveying device, and clamping devices capable of clamping and rotating the log are installed on the log punching device, the strain inoculation device and the capping device, wherein a log positioning assembly for limiting the rotation of the log is provided on the conveyor belt, so that the log can be transferred to the strain inoculation device and the capping device in the same posture after being punched by the log punching device, and the clamping device installed on the strain inoculation device and the capping device only needs to be rotated at the same step angle as the clamping device installed on the log punching device, so that the inoculation holes located on different sides of the log can be aligned with the strain inoculation device and the capping device, thereby completing the strain inoculation and capping.

[0055] Embodiment 1

[0056] The log conveying device 1 includes a conveyor belt 11 and a log positioning assembly 12. The log positioning assembly 12 is installed on the conveyor belt 11 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 11 and is arranged corresponding to the log punching device 2, the fungus inoculation device 3 and the capping device 4. The log positioning assembly 12 is at least used to limit the axial rotation of the log;

[0057] A log punching device 2, the log punching device 2 is arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt 11, and the log punching device 2 is used to process inoculation holes on the surface of the log;

[0058] A fungus inoculation device 3, wherein the fungus inoculation device 3 is arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt 11 and is arranged at a distance from the log punching device 2 along the running direction of the conveyor belt 11;

[0059] A capping device 4, wherein the capping device 4 is arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt 11 and is arranged on a side of the fungus inoculation device 3 away from the log punching device 2 along the running direction of the conveyor belt 11;

[0060] The clamping device 5 is installed on the log punching device 2, the fungus inoculation device 3 and the capping device 4, and is provided corresponding to each of the log positioning components 12. The clamping device 5 is used to clamp and rotate the log. When in use, the log is installed on the log positioning component 12, and the conveyor belt 11 transfers the log and the log positioning component 12 to the log punching device 2. The clamping device 5 installed on the log punching device 2 clamps and rotates both ends of the log, so that the log punching device 2 can process the inoculation hole on the outer peripheral surface of the log. After the punching is completed, the clamping device 5 installed on the log punching device 2 rotates the log to the same posture as before the inoculation hole is processed, and the log positioning assembly 12 resumes the restriction on the movement of the log. The conveyor belt 11 transfers the log after the punching and the log positioning assembly 12 to the bacterial inoculation device 3. Since the posture of the log is the same as before the inoculation hole is processed, the inoculation hole on the log facing the bacterial inoculation device 3 is aligned with the bacterial inoculation device 3. The clamping device 5 installed on the bacterial inoculation device 3 only needs to be rotated at the same step angle as the clamping device 5 installed on the log punching device 2, so that the inoculation holes on different sides of the log can be aligned with the bacterial inoculation device 3, thereby completing the bacterial inoculation. Similarly, the log can also be aligned with the capping device 4 in the same way to complete the capping. The intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of the present invention can realize the automatic alignment of the log inoculation holes, which helps to improve the efficiency of edible fungus cultivation and reduce labor intensity.

[0061] Among them, the log positioning assembly 12 can be a component with an installation groove along the width direction of the conveyor belt 11, the width of the bottom of the installation groove is smaller than the width of the top, or the cross-section along the extension direction of the installation groove is V-shaped, so that the two side surfaces of the installation groove are tangent to the outer peripheral surface of the log, and the axial rotation of the log is limited by the weight of the log itself.

[0062] Embodiment 2

[0063] On the basis of the first embodiment, the log punching device 2 comprises: a guide rail 21, a drilling assembly 22 and a punching positioning assembly 23. The extension direction of the guide rail 21 is at an acute angle or a right angle to the running direction of the conveyor belt 11; there are multiple drilling assemblies 22, and the drilling assembly 22 comprises a drill bit 221 and a slider 222, the slider 222 is slidably connected to the guide rail 21, and the drill bit 221 is rotatably connected to the end of the slider 222 along the extension direction of the guide rail 21; the punching positioning assembly 23 is connected to the drill bit 221, and the punching positioning assembly 23 comprises two positioning parts 231, and the extension direction of the positioning part 231 is at an angle to the extension direction of the drill bit 221. The included angle is an acute angle, and the extending direction of the two positioning parts 231 is equal to the extending direction of the drill bit 221. The connecting line direction between the two positioning parts 231 and the direction of the rotating shaft 252 between the drill bit 221 and the slider 222 are acute angles or right angles. The clamping device 5 is arranged on the side of the drilling assembly 22 away from the guide rail 21. The clamping device 5 is arranged corresponding to the drill bit 221. The clamping device 5 is used to clamp and rotate the wood segment, and the direction of the rotating shaft 252 is parallel to the direction of the rotating shaft 252 between the drill bit 221 and the slider 222.

[0064] The positioning portion 231 is at least partially closer to the clamping device 5 relative to the drill bit 221 along the extending direction of the guide rail 21 .

[0065] When in use, the clamping device 5 clamps the two end surfaces of the wood segment, the drilling assembly 22 and the punching positioning assembly 23 slide along the guide rail 21 and approach the wood segment, the positioning portion 231 will contact the wood segment before the drill bit 221, and the wood segment will approach the drill bit 221 between the two positioning portions 231. Since the drill bit 221 connected to the drilling and positioning component 23 can rotate relative to the slider 222, as the drilling and positioning component 23 continues to slide along the guide rail 21, the drilling and positioning component 23 will also slide around the surface of the wood segment, and finally the facing sides of the two positioning parts 231 will contact the outer peripheral surface of the wood segment at the same time. At this time, the side surfaces of the two positioning parts 231 are tangent to the outer peripheral surface of the wood segment, and the direction of the bisector of the angle formed by the two positioning parts 231, that is, the extension direction of the drill bit 221, intersects with the axis of the wood segment, so that the inoculation hole processed by the drill bit 221 is along the radial direction of the wood segment, which is beneficial to reduce the number of times the inoculation equipment in the subsequent process adjusts the position of the wood segment when extending into the inoculation hole to inoculate the bacteria, thereby improving the efficiency of the bacteria inoculation.

[0066] As an optional embodiment, the drilling assembly 22 also includes a connecting portion 223, which is rotatably connected to the slider 222, and the drill bit 221 is slidably connected to the connecting portion 223 perpendicular to the direction of the rotating shaft 252 of the connecting portion 223 and the slider 222. Since the log is clamped by the clamping device 5 and is restricted from moving in the horizontal direction, when the punching and positioning assembly 23 slides around the outer peripheral surface of the log to a large extent, the punching and positioning assembly 23 needs to rely on the sliding of the drill bit 221 along the connecting portion 223 to maintain the fit with the outer peripheral surface of the log, otherwise it can only rely on the matching clearance between the components and the deformation based on elasticity to slide slightly. It can be seen that this embodiment can increase the sliding amplitude of the punching and positioning assembly 23, so that the log punching device 2 can process inoculation holes along the radial direction of the log on logs with a wider diameter range.

[0067] Specifically, a guide rail 21 or a slide groove may be provided on the connecting portion 223 , and the drill bit 221 is installed on the guide rail 21 or the slide groove to achieve a sliding connection between the drill bit 221 and the connecting portion 223 .

[0068] As an optional embodiment, the drilling assembly 22 also includes an elastic member 224, which abuts against the side of the drill bit 221 close to the slider 222 along the extension direction of the drill bit 221. After the punching and positioning assembly 23 slides around the outer peripheral surface of the log to a large extent, the extension direction of the drill bit 221 deviates from the extension direction of the guide rail 21 to a large extent, so that the efficiency of the feed movement of the drill bit 221 driven by the force along the guide rail 21 is reduced, affecting the drilling efficiency. Since the elastic member 224 is arranged along the extension direction of the drill bit 221, it can supplement the driving force of the feed movement direction of the drill bit 221, drive the drill bit 221 to drill into the log, and process the inoculation hole. It can be seen that this embodiment is conducive to improving the drilling efficiency of the log punching device 2. The elastic member 224 can be a cushion-shaped element made of a spring, rubber or silicone elastic material, etc., and this embodiment is not limited here.

[0069] As an optional embodiment, the drilling assembly 22 further includes a stopper 225, which is adjustable and sleeved on the outer periphery of the drill rod of the drill bit 221 along the extension direction of the drill bit 221. When the drill bit 221 drills into the log to a certain depth, so that the stopper 225 contacts the surface of the log, the stopper 225 prevents the drill bit 221 from going deeper, so that the log drilling device 2 has the same depth each time it drills.

[0070] As an optional embodiment, the punching and positioning assembly 23 further includes a guide rod 232, which is slidably connected to the drill bit 221 along the extension direction of the drill bit 221, and the positioning portion 231 is connected to the guide rod 232. The guide rod 232 allows the positioning portion 231 to be further away from the drill bit 221, so that logs of different diameters can be first fixed and fitted by the two positioning portions 231, and then contact the drill bit 221 to process the inoculation hole, which is conducive to improving the adaptability of the log punching device 2 to logs of different diameters.

[0071] As an optional embodiment, the number of guide rods 232 is two, and the two guide rods 232 are arranged at intervals along the direction of the line between the two positioning parts 231. The drilling positioning assembly 23 also includes a force sensor, which is connected to the guide rod 232. The force sensor is used to obtain the axial force of the guide rod 232. The force sensor obtains the axial force of the two guide rods 232, and can determine the contact between the wood segment and the two positioning parts 231, thereby determining whether the extension direction of the drill bit 221 intersects with the axis of the wood segment.

[0072] As an optional embodiment, the guide rail 21, the drilling assembly 22 and the punching positioning assembly 23 form a punching system, and the number of the punching systems is multiple, and the guide rails 21 of the multiple punching systems are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The log punching device 2 of this embodiment can process multiple inoculation holes on the log at the same time, which is conducive to improving the punching efficiency.

[0073] As an optional embodiment, the drilling assembly 22 further includes an abutment portion 226, one end of the abutment portion 226 is connected to the slider 222, and the other end extends away from the guide rail 21;

[0074] The log punching device 2 also includes a driving assembly 25, which includes a driving rod 251, a rotating shaft 252, and a first connecting rod 253. The driving rod 251 is arranged along the connecting line direction between the plurality of guide rails 21, and the driving rod 251 is arranged on the side of the abutment portion 226 facing the drill bit 221, and the abutment portion 226 abuts against the driving rod 251; the rotating shaft 252 is arranged parallel to the driving rod 251, and one side of the first connecting rod 253 is connected to the driving rod 251 and the other side is connected to the rotating shaft 252. When the log punching device 2 of this embodiment is in use, the rotating shaft 252 rotates, so that the first connecting rod 253 drives the driving rod 251 to move downward, and the drilling assembly 22 loses the constraint of the driving rod 251, and can approach the log under the action of gravity, and start drilling from the surface of the log. By adjusting the length of the drill bit 221 or using the above-mentioned limit piece 225 and other means, the inoculation hole of the same depth can be drilled. After the punching is completed, the rotating shaft 252 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the driving rod 251 abuts against the abutting portion 226, thereby resetting multiple punching systems at one time. The log punching device 2 of this embodiment does not need to provide a separate driving source for each punching system, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing and use costs of the log punching device 2.

[0075] As an optional embodiment, the driving assembly 25 also includes a handle 255 and a second connecting rod 254, one end of the second connecting rod 254 is connected to the rotating shaft 252, the angle between the line connecting the end of the second connecting rod 254 to the rotating shaft 252 and the line connecting the end of the first connecting rod 253 away from the rotating shaft 252 and the rotating shaft 252 is an obtuse angle or a straight angle, and a counterweight 2541 is provided at the end of the second connecting rod 254; the handle 255 is connected to the rotating shaft 252. The handle 255 can be used to manually control the rise and fall of the driving rod 251, thereby controlling the switching of the log punching device 2 between the punching state and the reset state, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing and use costs of the log punching device 2. The counterweight 2541 can reduce the difficulty of operating the handle 255, thereby saving labor.

[0076] In addition, a driving element such as a rotary cylinder or a motor may be used to drive the rotating shaft 252 to rotate. In practice, the selection should be made according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0078] Embodiment 3

[0079] On the basis of the first embodiment, the bacterial strain inoculation device 3 includes a feeding component 31 and an inoculation component 32. The feeding component 31 includes a first silo 311 and a stirring component 312, and the stirring component 312 is rotatably arranged in the first silo 311. The inoculation component 32 includes an inoculation tube 321, which is connected to the first silo 311 and is arranged along the secant direction of the rotation track of the stirring component 312. The connecting port of the inoculation tube 321 and the first silo 311 is arranged corresponding to the stirring component 312. Among them, the stirring component 312 is at least used to transport bacterial strains into the inoculation tube 321.

[0080] When the intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of this embodiment is used, the fungus species to be inoculated are stored in the first silo 311, and the log to be inoculated is installed in the corresponding inoculation tube 321. Before inoculation, the stirring component 312 rotates to make the fungus species in the first silo 311 follow the movement to avoid the fungus species from being blocked, and at the same time, the fungus species are transported into the inoculation tube 321, so that the fungus species in the inoculation tube 321 are full or nearly full each time they are inoculated, thereby improving the consistency of the amount of inoculated fungus species during multiple inoculations, and further having a favorable effect on the yield and quality of edible fungi.

[0081] In addition, the inoculation tube 321 should be arranged along the running direction of the conveyor belt 11 corresponding to the drill bit 221 in the second embodiment.

[0082] The stirring member 312 includes a first blade 3121 and a second blade 3122, which are coaxially arranged, and the angle between the extension direction of the first blade 3121 and the extension direction of the second blade 3122 is greater than °, less than or equal to °, the first blade 3121 is arranged at the feed port of the first silo 311, and the second blade 3122 is arranged at the connecting port between the first silo 311 and the inoculation tube 321. When the fungus enters the first silo 311, it needs to pass through the rotation track of the first blade 3121. At this time, the first blade 3121 can break up the clumps of fungus entering the first silo 311, thereby improving the uniformity of the fungus; the fungus broken up by the first blade 3121 is then loaded into the inoculation tube 321 by the second blade 3122, so that the internal tissue of the fungus inoculated into the log by the inoculation tube 321 is uniform, which is conducive to reducing the difference in the quality of edible fungi grown from the fungus.

[0083] It should be noted that the first blade 3121 and the second blade 3122 can be driven by a driving member such as a rotary cylinder, a motor, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0084] Preferably, the first paddle 3121 is columnar, which is beneficial for reducing the resistance of the bacteria to the first paddle 3121 when the first paddle 3121 breaks up the bacteria; the second paddle 3122 is sheet-shaped, which is beneficial for the second paddle 3122 to transport the bacteria to the inoculation tube 321.

[0085] As an optional embodiment, the second paddle 3122 includes a supporting surface 3122a, the normal direction of the supporting surface 3122a is perpendicular to the diameter direction of the rotation track of the second paddle 3122, and the edge of the supporting surface 3122a on the side away from the first paddle 3121 is in contact with the wall surface of the first silo 311 with the connecting port. When the second paddle 3122 rotates, the edge of the supporting surface 3122a is in contact with the wall surface of the first silo 311, which can drive the bacterial strains located on the side of the connecting port in the first silo 311 to move, and finally make them enter the inoculation tube 321, thereby reducing the dead angle in the first silo 311, which is conducive to preventing the bacterial strains from being retained in the first silo 311 for a long time and deteriorating.

[0086] As an optional embodiment, the inoculation assembly 32 also includes a sleeve 322, a piston 323 and a valve plate 324. The sleeve 322 is connected to the first silo 311 and is arranged corresponding to the stirring component 312. The inoculation tube 321 is slidably arranged inside the sleeve 322 and is connected to the first silo 311 through the connecting port between the sleeve 322 and the first silo 311. The piston 323 is slidably arranged on the inoculation tube 321. The valve plate 324 is arranged at the end of the inoculation tube 321. The valve plate 324 is used to close when the pressure on the valve plate 324 is less than a threshold value and to open when the pressure on the valve plate 324 is greater than or equal to the threshold value. Before inoculation, the stirring component 312 rotates to fill the inoculation tube 321 with bacteria. At this time, the pressure on the valve plate 324 is less than the threshold value, and the valve plate 324 remains closed, which is conducive to preventing the bacteria from spilling from the inoculation tube 321. During inoculation, the inoculation tube 321 and the piston 323 slide axially along the sleeve 322 until the edge of the inoculation tube 321 contacts the edge of the inoculation hole on the log, and the inoculation tube 321 stops moving. At this time, the piston 323 continues to move, and cooperates with the closed valve plate 324 to compact the bacteria in the inoculation tube 321 until the pressure on the valve plate 324 reaches the threshold. The piston 323 continues to move so that the compacted bacteria enters the inoculation hole of the log to complete the inoculation. The magnitude of the pressure on the bacteria is the threshold. Since the inoculation tube 321 continues to move toward the log before contacting the surface of the log, the intelligent log perforating, inoculation and capping integrated machine of this embodiment can adapt to logs of different diameters and complete the inoculation. At the same time, the valve plate 324 makes the bacteria in the inoculation tube 321 subject to a pressure of the threshold value and then inoculates it into the log, achieving the purpose of constant pressure, which is conducive to making the internal organization of the bacteria inoculated into the log by the inoculation tube 321 uniform and reducing the difference in the quality of edible fungi grown from the bacteria.

[0087] Optionally, there are multiple valve plates 324, and the valve plates 324 may be fan-shaped, with the arc portion thereof being hinged to the edge of the inoculation tube 321. As a preferred embodiment, the center angle of the valve plate 324 is less than or equal to °.

[0088] Furthermore, a torsion spring or other elastic member 224 is installed at the hinge between the valve plate 324 and the inoculation tube 321, and a limit structure is provided on the inoculation tube 321 to prevent the valve plate 324 from folding inside the inoculation tube 321. By controlling the elastic modulus of the torsion spring or other elastic member 224 and the size of the preload force, the purpose of adjusting the size of the threshold can be achieved.

[0089] As an optional embodiment, the inoculation assembly 32 also includes a first driving member 325 and a position sensor, the first driving member 325 is connected to the piston 323, the position sensor is set corresponding to the piston 323, and the position sensor signal is connected to the first driving member 325. The position sensor can identify the position of the piston 323, and then identify whether the inoculation process is completed, so that after the inoculation is completed, the first driving member 325 can stop driving the piston 323 to prevent the piston 323 from affecting the inoculated strains. Exemplarily, the position sensor can be a magnetic switch, a photoelectric switch, etc. This embodiment is again not limited.

[0090] As an optional embodiment, the feeding assembly 31 also includes a second silo 313, which is connected to the feed port of the first silo 311. The volume of the second silo 313 is larger than that of the first silo 311, and the second silo 313 is used to provide bacterial strains to the first silo 311. Since the first silo 311 is provided with a stirring component 312, in order to avoid excessive resistance when the stirring component 312 rotates, the first silo 311 needs to limit its volume, thereby limiting the amount of bacterial strains contained therein. By providing a second silo 313 with a volume larger than that of the first silo 311, the second silo 313 continuously supplies bacterial strains to the first silo 311, which can reduce the frequency of adding bacterial strains to the bacterial strain inoculation device 3 of this embodiment, which is conducive to improving the inoculation efficiency. Furthermore, unlike the connecting port between the inoculation tube 321 and the first silo 311 which is limited by the diameter of the inoculation tube 321, the connecting port between the first silo 311 and the second silo 313 is less restricted, and the first silo 311 and the second silo 313 can be connected using a connecting port with a larger cross-sectional area to avoid blockage.

[0091] As an optional embodiment, it also includes a clamping system, which is arranged corresponding to the inoculation tube 321 and is used to clamp and / or rotate the log.

[0092] Embodiment 4

[0093] On the basis of the second or third embodiment, the clamping device 5 comprises: a second driving member 51, a clamp 52 and a motion control component 53, wherein the second driving member 51 is connected to the motion control component 53, the clamp 52 is connected to the motion control component 53 or the second driving member 51, and the motion control component 53 is used to control the motion state of the clamp 52. The clamp 52 is driven by the second driving member 51 to rotate, thereby rotating the log, so that the inoculation holes on different sides of the log are aligned with the drill bit 221 or the inoculation tube 321, and the motion control component 53 can stop the clamp 52 from rotating when it rotates to an appropriate angle.

[0094] The second driving member 51 may be any motor that is convenient for controlling the rotation angle; the motion control component 53 may be a cam divider or an angular displacement sensor, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.
