Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of edible mushroom production, and particularly relates to an apparatus for turning out the mouth of an edible mushroom bag. Background Art

[0002] The purpose of disturbing the bacteria in the edible mushroom bag is to remove the surface bacteria skin of the culture material in the bag and cut off the mycelium so that it can quickly enter the growth and reproductive states from the dormant state. After disturbing the bacteria, the mouth of the bag should be higher than the culture material by a certain height to keep the moisture of the culture material; there are mainly two existing methods for disturbing the bacteria in edible mushrooms. One is to cut off the whole part of the mushroom bag above the surface bacteria skin by a cutting device. This method requires pasting the bag mouth in the later stage to make the bag mouth higher than the culture material by a certain height, and the process is complex. At the same time, some mycelium is cut off, affecting the mushroom yield. The other method is to first remove the lid and the ring, and then turn over the bag mouth manually so that the bag mouth is in an open state and higher than the culture material by a certain height, and then disturb the bacteria. This manual method of turning over the bag mouth has problems such as high labor intensity, low efficiency and uneven treatment effects, affecting the stability after the bag mouth is turned over, and is not conducive to the mass production requirements of high-quality edible mushrooms.
