Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Cordyceps militaris culture box capping technology, and particularly to a Cordyceps militaris culture box capping machine. Background Technology

[0002] Cordyceps militaris is the type species of the genus Cordyceps, belonging to the subphylum Ascomycota, order Clavicipitales, family Clavicipitaceae, and genus Cordyceps. It has a very limited natural resource worldwide. It is a complex composed of two parts: the stroma (the grass-like part) and the sclerotium (the dead part of the insect). Cordyceps militaris is widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, and the demand cannot be met by pure wild species. Therefore, artificial breeding has begun. Breeding requires cultivation in culture boxes, which need to be sealed during the cultivation process.

[0003] The existing sealing method involves attaching a sealing cap to the culture box. However, as the culture time progresses and the temperature changes, the pressure inside the normally sealed culture box will increase, causing the sealing cap to be pushed up and making the culture box connected to the outside, thus affecting the culture effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Cordyceps militaris culture box capping machine to solve the problem of squeezing out the gas inside the culture box after cultivation when capping the culture box.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the Cordyceps militaris culture box capping machine of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A Cordyceps militaris culture box capping machine includes a transfer device, a capping device, a culture box storage cylinder, and a sealing cap storage cylinder. The transfer device rotates the culture box inside the culture box storage cylinder to the bottom of the sealing cap storage cylinder to receive the sealing cap, and then continues to rotate so that the capping device presses the sealing cap firmly onto the culture box. The transfer device is mounted on a mounting base, and the mounting base is equipped with a discharge device to discharge the capped culture box. The mounting base is also equipped with a gas compression device to discharge some of the gas inside the culture box before capping to prevent the gas pressure inside the culture box from rising and pushing the sealing cap out.

[0007] Furthermore, the transfer device includes a rotating disk, a rotating shaft, storage holes, and a sliding groove. The rotating disk is evenly provided with three storage holes, one of which corresponds to the storage cylinder of the culture box, another to the storage cylinder of the sealing cap, and the last one to the discharge device. The rotating disk is axially provided with a sliding groove that communicates with the storage holes. The air compression device slides and compresses the culture box that passes through inside the sliding groove and compresses out part of the gas. The rotating disk rotates between the sealing cap device and the discharge device.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is equipped with a matching servo motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the capping device includes a first fixed plate, a culture box through hole, a sealing cap through hole, an extrusion groove, and an extrusion arc plate. The first fixed plate is provided with a culture box through hole and a sealing cap through hole. A culture box storage cylinder and a sealing cap storage cylinder are disposed on the first fixed plate. The culture box through hole and the culture box storage cylinder are connected, and the sealing cap through hole and the sealing cap storage cylinder are connected. When the culture box through hole and one storage hole are connected, the sealing cap through hole and the other storage hole are connected. The first fixed plate is provided with an extrusion groove connected to the sealing cap through hole. The extrusion arc plate is disposed inside the extrusion groove to extrude the sealing cap and the culture box and fasten them together. The thickness of the extrusion arc plate is less than the depth of the extrusion groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the extruded arc-shaped plate includes a plate body and an extrusion inclined surface, and the plate body pushes the sealing cap through the extrusion inclined surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the air compression device includes an arc-shaped extrusion plate and a guide slope. Both ends of the arc-shaped extrusion plate are provided with guide slopes. The arc-shaped extrusion plate slides in the sliding groove. The arc-shaped extrusion plate first extrudes the grass culture box through the guide slope, and then the plate pushes the sealing cover through the extrusion slope. The storage hole drives the culture box with the sealed cover to rotate and discharges the culture box with the sealed cover when it corresponds to the discharge device.

[0012] Furthermore, the discharge device includes a second fixed plate and a discharge hole. The discharge hole is disposed on the second fixed plate, and when the culture box through hole and the sealing cover through hole correspond to the two storage holes, the discharge hole corresponds to the third storage hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the size of the discharge port is slightly larger than that of the storage port.

[0014] The advantages of this invention are:

[0015] This invention uses a transfer device to rotate the culture box inside the culture box storage cylinder, causing the culture box to rotate to the position below the sealing cap storage cylinder. The sealing cap then falls onto the culture box, and the transfer device rotates the culture box together. During the rotation, the air compressor first discharges some of the gas inside the culture box, and then the capping device presses the sealing cap firmly onto the culture box. Finally, the capped culture box is discharged by the discharge device. Then, without the transfer device, the culture box rotates again to the position below the culture box storage cylinder to receive the culture box, and the above process is repeated.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a Cordyceps militaris culture box capping machine includes a transfer device 2, a capping device 3, a culture box storage cylinder 4, and a sealing cap storage cylinder 5. The transfer device 2 drives the culture box inside the culture box storage cylinder 4 to rotate to the bottom of the sealing cap storage cylinder 5 to receive the sealing cap, and then continues to rotate so that the capping device 3 presses the sealing cap firmly onto the culture box. The characteristic is that the transfer device 2 is set on the mounting base 1, the mounting base 1 is provided with a discharge device 7 to discharge the capped culture box, and the mounting base 1 is provided with a gas compression device 6 to discharge part of the gas inside the culture box before capping to prevent the gas pressure inside the culture box from rising and pushing the sealing cap out.

[0031] The culture box inside the culture box storage cylinder 4 is rotated by the transfer device 2, so that the culture box rotates to the bottom of the sealing cap storage cylinder 5. Then the sealing cap will fall onto the culture box. Then the transfer device 2 drives the culture box to rotate together. During the rotation, the air compression device 6 first discharges some of the gas inside the culture box, and then the capping device 3 presses the sealing cap firmly onto the culture box. Then the capped culture box is discharged by the discharge device 7. Then the transfer device 2 rotates again to the bottom of the culture box storage cylinder 4 to receive the culture box and repeat the above process.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the transfer device 2 includes a rotating disk 2-1, a rotating shaft 2-2, a storage hole 2-3, and a sliding groove 2-4. The rotating disk 2-1 is evenly provided with three storage holes 2-3. One storage hole 2-3 corresponds to the culture box storage cylinder 4, another corresponds to the sealing cap storage cylinder 5, and the last corresponds to the discharge device 7. The rotating disk 2-1 is axially provided with a sliding groove 2-4 that communicates with the storage holes 2-3. The air compression device 6 slides and compresses the culture box that passes through inside the sliding groove 2-4 and compresses out part of the gas. The rotating disk 2-1 rotates between the sealing cap device 3 and the discharge device 7.

[0033] Rotating shaft 2-2 drives rotating disk 2-1 to rotate, and rotating disk 2-1 drives three storage holes 2-3 to rotate. When one of the storage holes 2-3 reaches the bottom of the culture box storage cylinder 4, the current storage hole 2-3 stores a culture box. Then, the storage hole 2-3 containing the culture box continues to rotate and rotates the bottom of the sealing cover storage cylinder 5, causing the sealing cover to fall onto the grass culture box. Then, rotating disk 2-1 continues to rotate, causing the air compressor 6 to discharge some of the gas inside the culture box, and the cover device 3 presses the sealing cover firmly onto the culture box. Then, the sealed culture box is discharged through the discharge device 7. During the rotation of rotating disk 2-1, the other two storage holes 2-3 are also undergoing the above process. When the sealed culture box is discharged from the storage hole 2-3, the storage hole 2-3 rotates disk 2-1 again to continue the above process, thus completing the continuous sealing of culture boxes.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the rotating shaft 2-2 is equipped with a matching servo motor.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the capping device 3 includes a first fixed plate 3-1, a culture box through hole 3-2, a sealing cap through hole 3-3, a compression groove 3-4, and a compression arc plate 3-5. The first fixed plate 3-1 is provided with a culture box through hole 3-2 and a sealing cap through hole 3-3. A culture box storage cylinder 4 and a sealing cap storage cylinder 5 are disposed on the first fixed plate 3-1. The culture box through hole 3-2 is connected to the culture box storage cylinder 4, and the sealing cap through hole 3-3 is connected to the sealing cap storage cylinder 5. When the culture box through hole 3-2 is connected to one storage hole 2-3, the sealing cap through hole 3-3 is connected to the other storage hole 2-3. The first fixed plate 3-1 is provided with a compression groove 3-4 connected to the sealing cap through hole 3-3. The compression arc plate 3-5 is disposed inside the compression groove 3-4 to compress and fasten the sealing cap and the culture box. The thickness of the compression arc plate 3-5 is less than the depth of the compression groove 3-4.

[0036] During the rotation of the rotating disk 2-1, it first passes through the culture box and collects the culture box through the hole 3-2. Then, it passes through the sealing cover through the hole 3-3 so that the sealing cover falls onto the culture box. After the culture is completed, the air is expelled by the extrusion arc plate 3-5 inside the extrusion groove 3-4, which extrudes the air and presses the sealing cover firmly onto the culture box.

[0037] Among them, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the extruded arc plate 3-5 includes a plate body 3-5-1 and an extrusion inclined surface 3-5-2. The plate body 3-5-1 pushes the sealing cover through the extrusion inclined surface 3-5-2.

[0038] Among them, such as Figure 1-10As shown, the air compression device 6 includes an arc-shaped extrusion plate 6-1 and a guide slope 6-2. The arc-shaped extrusion plate 6-1 has guide slopes 6-2 at both ends. The arc-shaped extrusion plate 6-1 slides in the sliding groove 2-4. The arc-shaped extrusion plate 6-1 first extrudes the grass culture box through the guide slope 6-2, and then the plate body 3-5-1 pushes the sealing cover through the extrusion slope 3-5-2. The storage hole 2-3 drives the culture box with the sealed cover to rotate and discharges the culture box with the sealed cover when it corresponds to the discharge device 7.

[0039] Among them, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the discharge device 7 includes a second fixed plate 7-1 and a discharge hole 7-2. The discharge hole 7-2 is disposed on the second fixed plate 7-1. When the culture box passes through the hole 3-2 and the sealing cover passes through the hole 3-3 and the two storage holes 2-3, the discharge hole 7-2 corresponds to the third storage hole 2-3.

[0040] Among them, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the size of the discharge hole 7-2 is slightly larger than that of the storage hole 2-3.

[0041] It is understood that the present invention has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Furthermore, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of the present invention.
