[0002] The culture medium of edible mushrooms is usually bottled and bagged, and most of the edible mushroom species are bagged. The prepared finished product of the edible mushroom culture medium is called a spawn bag. In the existing factory production of edible mushrooms, after the spawn bags are filled, a basket loading operation is required to meet the needs of subsequent packaging or stacking and transportation processes.

[0003] Although some of the existing equipment realizes automatic basket loading, when the horizontally placed spawn bags transported on the conveyor line enter the basket loading machine, they cannot be stably and vertically erected.

[0082] The specific working process of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0083] (1) Feeding

[0084] The mushroom bags 5 are horizontally placed on the mushroom bag conveying device. When they are transported to the transition connecting plate 105 through the mushroom bag conveying device, the detection inductor 106 fixed on the detection bracket 107 detects that the number of mushroom bags reaches the preset value, and then a transmission signal can be sent to make the sub-packaging cylinder 103 drive the sub-packaging plate 104 to drop, intercepting the next batch of mushroom bags. Then, the pushing bag cylinder 110 arranged on one side of the transition plate drives the pushing plate 108 to push the mushroom bag group onto the impeller 206 of the bag turning and pushing device 2 under the guiding action of the pushing plate guiding device 109 until the mushroom bag group is completely located on the horizontal blades 217 at the front-side receiving position 209.

[0085] (2) Bag turning and feeding

[0086] Start the bag turning drive motor 202, which can drive the impeller 206 to turn 90 degrees, thereby driving the mushroom bag 5 to rotate from the front-side receiving position 209 to the rear-side pushing position 213. At this time, the mushroom bag 5 turns 90 degrees and is in a vertical state, and each mushroom bag 5 is located between the bag turning and pushing plate 204 and the bag turning and supporting plate 207. Then, start the bag turning and pushing drive device 201, and its telescopic shaft can extend outwards and push the slider of the linear slide rail assembly to move along the guiding slide rail until the bag turning and pushing plate 204 and the bag turning and supporting plate 207 clamp the mushroom bag group and move it along the pushing channel into the basket loading device 4.

[0087] (3) Basket dividing and basket supplying

[0088] The operation method of the basket separating mechanism is as follows: Stack the respective baskets into groups, and let the first long basket guide plate 307, the first short basket guide plate 317, the second long basket guide plate 304, and the second short basket guide plate 320 embrace and fix the stacked basket group from the four corners of each basket 7, actually forming the storage space for the baskets. In the initial state, the first upper basket separating cylinder 323, the first lower basket separating cylinder, the second upper basket separating cylinder 303, and the second lower basket separating cylinder 321 are all in the retracted state, that is, the first upper basket separating plate 322, the first lower basket separating plate 324, the second upper basket separating plate 305, and the second lower basket separating plate 319 are all in the retracted state, and both the first upper basket separating plate 322 and the second upper basket separating plate 305 are in the lower limit position.

[0089] When a certain number of baskets 7 are stored in the basket separating device, the first upper basket separating plate 322, the first lower basket separating plate 324, the second upper basket separating plate 305, and the second lower basket separating plate 319 simultaneously extend and are inserted from both sides between the annular edges of the upper and lower two baskets 7 to be separated. Start the basket separating active driving device 313 (in this embodiment, the basket separating active driving device 313 is a cylinder). The movable support plate 310 of the first basket separating guiding device 326 drives the first upper basket separating cylinder 323 to move upward, and then the first upper basket separating plate 322 moves upward; at the same time, the movable support plate 310 drives the connecting rod part 312 of the first crank connecting rod mechanism 327 to move upward. The connecting rod part 312 of the first crank connecting rod mechanism 327 drives the linkage shaft 318 to rotate through the crank part 314, and then drives the crank part 314 of the second crank connecting rod mechanism 328 to rotate, making the connecting rod part 312 of the second crank connecting rod mechanism 328 move upward, driving the movable support plate 310 of the second basket separating guiding device 329 and the second upper basket separating cylinder 303 to move upward. Thus, it is realized that the first upper basket separating plate 322 and the second upper basket separating plate 305 synchronously drive the upper basket and the stacked basket group to move upward, and the first lower basket separating plate 324 and the second lower basket separating plate 319 always remain stationary, passively separating the lowermost basket from the upper basket until the lowermost basket falls to the front end of the basket conveying mechanism 330.

[0090] The basket conveying mechanism 330 can convey the basket 7 to the rear end and be located below the slide plate 410. At this time, the basket 7 is stopped by the basket blocking lifting rod 332 at the upper limit position, waiting for the operation of dropping and loading the mushroom bags into the basket.

[0091] (4) Loading into the basket

[0092] When a group of mushroom spawn bags 5 are pushed from the bag - turning and pushing device 2 into the basket - loading device 4, the slide plate 410 is at the initial position above the material basket 7 and supports and pushes the incoming group of mushroom spawn bags. At this time, the basket - loading and bag - pushing plate 402 of the basket - loading and bag - pushing mechanism 401 is in the retracted position, while the bag - blocking plate 412 of the bag - blocking mechanism 405 moves down to the lower limit position, and an entry channel is formed by clamping between the basket - loading and bag - pushing plate 402 and the bag - blocking plate 412. When the mushroom spawn bags 5 completely enter this channel, the bag - blocking plate 412 moves up, and the basket - loading and bag - pushing plate 402 extends outwards, pushing this group of mushroom spawn bags 5 together under the brush assembly 406. Each brush 414 elastically presses and fixes this group of mushroom spawn bags 5 to prevent them from toppling. When a new group of mushroom spawn bags 5 enters the basket - loading device 4, the above - mentioned bag - pushing action is repeated. The newly arrived group of mushroom spawn bags pushes the previous group of mushroom spawn bags forward, and the new group of mushroom spawn bags takes over its position under the brush assembly 406. During the process of advancing and stacking the group of mushroom spawn bags, the basket - loading and bag - supporting plate 409 is always at the lower limit position and supports the first - entered group of mushroom spawn bags to keep them moving forward in a vertical state. Repeating this process, after stacking a preset number of mushroom spawn bags on the slide plate 410 of the blanking mechanism, as Figure 24 shown, at this time, the basket - loading and bag - pushing plate 402, the bag - supporting plate, and the basket - loading guiding plates 422 on both sides enclose the group of mushroom spawn bags, forming a square array of mushroom spawn bags. The slide plate 410 is driven by the bag - dropping cylinder to translate, so that the mushroom spawn bags 5 on the slide plate 410 vertically fall into the material basket 7 waiting below the slide plate 410, completing the basket - loading operation.
