Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a capping device for the outer cover of a tremella culture bottle. Background Art

[0002] Tremella fuciformis is often cultivated in culture bottles. During the process of making the culture bottles, the culture bottles filled with culture medium and bacterial strains need to be transferred to the cultivation room for cultivation. The culture bottles need to be installed with outer caps. However, some existing Tremella fuciformis culture factories often use manual bottle capping, which is inefficient and costly.

[0003] With technological advancements, some factories are using mechanical equipment to install outer caps. For example, patent CN201920801762.X discloses a capping machine for Agaricus tumefaciens culture bottles, and patent CN201821223640.9 discloses a rapid capping device for edible fungus culture bottles. However, these devices do not disclose how to install outer caps without threads. Furthermore, because the outer caps of culture bottles collect dust on the ground during transportation, affecting the cleanliness of the culture bottles, existing devices do not have the function of cleaning the outer caps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] To make the above features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, embodiments are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings for detailed description, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 4

[0023] A device for capping outer covers of Tremella culture bottles comprises a frame, on which a belt conveyor mechanism 10 for conveying a tray 1 loaded with culture bottles 2 is transversely arranged, a feeding mechanism 20 for conveying outer covers 3 of the culture bottles is arranged on the upper side of the belt conveyor mechanism, an elastic blocking mechanism 30 is arranged on the upper side of the output end of the feeding mechanism, the elastic blocking mechanism blocks the outer covers from continuing to slide down after being exposed from the feeding mechanism, and the elastic blocking mechanism is lifted when the mouth of the culture bottle hooks the outer cover and drives the outer cover forward; a brush 40 for cleaning the upper surface of the outer cover and a smoothing mechanism 50 for pressing the outer cover against the mouth of the culture bottle are arranged on the front side of the elastic blocking mechanism, the smoothing mechanism allows the outer cover to better cover the mouth of the culture bottle.

[0024] In this embodiment, in order to allow the outer cover to fall better, the discharge mechanism includes a plurality of arc-shaped discharge channels 21 arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction, and the inner walls on both sides of the discharge channel are provided with limiting guide plates 22 that form a material guide groove 27 between the arc-shaped bottom plate, and the front end of the limiting guide plate is provided with a curved portion 23 that turns inward, and the curved portion cooperates with the elastic blocking mechanism to prevent the lower cover from continuing to slide down.

[0025] In this embodiment, the material discharge channel includes a curved bottom plate 24 , and a plurality of baffles 25 are sequentially provided on the curved bottom plate along the longitudinal direction, so that a material discharge channel is formed between two adjacent baffles and the curved bottom plate.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to better install the limiting guide plate, two longitudinal rods 26 fixedly connected to the frame are provided on the upper side of the discharge channel, and the limiting guide plates are fixed to the lower side of the longitudinal rods.

[0027] In this embodiment, the elastic blocking mechanism includes a roller 31 for contacting the top surface of the outer cover extending out of the feeding channel. A longitudinal plate 32, connected to the frame at both ends, is longitudinally mounted on the frame. A roller is mounted on the longitudinal plate above the output end of each feeding channel, connected to the longitudinal plate via an elastic bracket 33. The contact point between the outer cover's top surface and the roller is 1-2 mm higher than the roller's bottom end, allowing the outer cover's protruding portion of the feeding channel to abut against the roller. The roller then lifts upward when the mouth of the culture bottle hooks onto the outer cover and moves forward.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to better lift the roller, the elastic frame includes a mounting seat 331 for mounting the roller, and a pair of guide rods 332 are fixed on the mounting seat in the longitudinal direction. The guide rods all pass through the longitudinal plate and are provided with fixing nuts 333 at the upper ends. A spring 334 is arranged on the guide rod between the longitudinal plate and the mounting seat so that the roller can be reset to the lower frame by the spring.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the lateral position of the roller, adjustment slots 34 are horizontally provided on both sides of the frame, and both ends of the longitudinal plate are locked to the frame by locking bolts 35 passing through the adjustment slots, so that the longitudinal plate can be locked by the locking bolts after being adjusted to the desired position.

[0030] In this embodiment, both ends of the brush are longitudinally fixedly connected to the frame, and the bottom surface of the brush is sealed with bristles 41.

[0031] In this embodiment, to ensure that the outer cap fits better on the mouth of the culture bottle, the smoothing mechanism includes a motor 51 mounted longitudinally on a frame. A driving gear 52 is mounted on the motor's output end. Two longitudinal rollers 53 are spaced laterally above the belt conveyor mechanism. Each roller has a driven gear 54 at one end that meshes with the driving gear. The two longitudinal rollers ensure that the outer cap fits better on the mouth of the culture bottle.

[0032] During operation, the tray loaded with culture bottles is continuously transported forward by the belt conveyor mechanism, the outer caps are transported forward through the unloading channel and the outer caps located at the front side are blocked by the elastic blocking mechanism; when the culture bottles on the tray come into contact with the outer caps and continue to move forward in the tray, the outer caps are separated from the unloading channel; the tray continues to move forward, the upper surface of the outer caps is cleaned by the brush and the outer caps are continued to be pressed down and covered on the bottle mouths of the culture bottles; the tray continues to move forward with the culture bottles, so that the outer caps are fully covered on the bottle mouths of the culture bottles, and the culture bottles with the outer caps are transported to the belt conveyor mechanism along with the tray.

[0033] If the present invention discloses or involves components or structural parts that are fixedly connected to each other, then, unless otherwise stated, the fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (for example, connection using bolts or screws), and can also be understood as: a non-detachable fixed connection (for example, riveting, welding). Of course, the mutual fixed connection can also be replaced by an integrated structure (for example, manufactured by integral molding using a casting process) (except where it is obviously not possible to use an integrated molding process).

[0034] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used in any technical solution disclosed in the above-mentioned utility model to express positional relationships or shapes include states or shapes that are approximate, similar or close thereto.

[0035] Any component provided by the present invention can be assembled from multiple separate components, or can be a separate component manufactured by an integral forming process.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.
