An automatic ear stalk cutting device for silver ear fungus

Abstract

This invention provides an automatic ear-stem cutting device for Tremella fuciformis, comprising a frame, a conveying mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a cutting mechanism. The conveying mechanism is located within the frame. The fungus log enters the conveying mechanism, and its height remains constant due to the clamping action of the conveyor belt. During conveying, the Tremella fuciformis leaves growing on the log are gradually lifted by a first and a second support plate from a height close to or below the upper surface of the log. At this time, the Tremella fuciformis leaves are stretched. Simultaneously, as the limiting channel between the first and second support plates gradually narrows along the longitudinal direction, the lifted portion of the Tremella fuciformis leaves gradually increases, from the edges near the two sides of the log along the longitudinal direction to the portion near the central ear-stem. After the leaves near the ear-stem are lifted to a certain height, the bottom ear-stem of the Tremella fuciformis is exposed, forming a cutting space. This, in conjunction with the cutting mechanism, removes the ear-stem from the Tremella fuciformis. This invention does not damage the Tremella fuciformis and can completely remove the ear-stem, resulting in good economic benefits.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical equipment, and in particular to an automatic ear stalk cutting device for silver ear fungus. Background Technology

[0002] After mature, the ear-like stem of white fungus is usually removed before further processing such as cleaning, slicing, and drying. Fresh white fungus has soft leaves that often grow in clusters of varying sizes. Since the fungus grows tightly against the substrate, it's difficult for the harvesting tools to directly access the ear-like stem for cutting. The irregular shape of the ear-like stem makes it difficult to balance the amount and quality of cutting using simple mechanized harvesting. Excessive cutting can damage and waste the leaves; insufficient cutting leaves leave the required portion of the ear-like stem incompletely removed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic ear pedicle cutting device for silver ear fungus.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by the present invention include:

[0007] An automatic ear-cutting device for silver ear fungus includes a frame, a conveying mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a cutting mechanism;

[0008] The conveying mechanism is located inside the frame and is used to clamp and convey the mushroom sticks;

[0009] The lifting mechanism is mounted on the frame and located directly above the conveying mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a first pallet and a second pallet.

[0010] The first pallet and the second pallet are symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal direction, and a limiting channel is formed between the first pallet and the second pallet. The horizontal distance of the limiting channel gradually decreases along the longitudinal direction. The height of the first pallet and the second pallet near the conveying start end of the conveying mechanism is H1, and the height of the first pallet and the second pallet near the conveying end end of the conveying mechanism is H2. H1 is less than H2.

[0011] The cutting mechanism is mounted on the frame and is used to cut the silver ear fungus located on the fungus sticks inside the lifting mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting mechanism further includes a third pallet and a fourth pallet. The third pallet is fixed to the end of the first pallet away from the starting end of the conveying mechanism, and the fourth pallet is fixed to the end of the second pallet away from the starting end of the conveying mechanism. A conveying channel is formed between the third pallet and the fourth pallet. The conveying channel is a horizontal channel and is connected to the limiting channel. The height of the end of the third pallet and the fourth pallet near the starting end of the conveying mechanism is H3, and the height of the end of the third pallet and the fourth pallet near the end of the conveying mechanism is H4. H3 is equal to H3.

[0013] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes two parallel conveying lines arranged vertically along the longitudinal direction, with two adjacent vertical sides on the inner side of the two conveying lines serving as clamping conveying surfaces, and the two conveying lines being driven synchronously and rotating in opposite directions.

[0014] Preferably, the conveyor line includes a drive shaft, a driven shaft, and a conveyor belt that rotates cyclically between the drive shaft and the driven shaft.

[0015] Preferably, the conveying mechanism further includes an adjustment component, which includes a shaft seat, a lead screw, an adjustment block, and an adjustment handwheel. The lead screw is connected to the frame near both ends via the shaft seat. The surface of the lead screw has two threaded ends with opposite directions. Each threaded end is threaded with the adjustment block. The adjustment block is connected to the corresponding conveying line. The adjustment handwheel is connected to one end of the lead screw.

[0017] Preferably, the cutting mechanism includes a transverse cylinder, a cutting blade, and a longitudinal moving assembly. The cutting blade is connected to the transverse cylinder and is disposed at the lower part of the third and fourth support plates and at the upper part of the mushroom stick. The cutting edge of the cutting blade faces the starting end of the conveying mechanism. The moving end of the longitudinal moving assembly is connected to the transverse cylinder.

[0018] Preferably, the cutting mechanism further includes a vertical cylinder and a top pressure plate, the top pressure plate being connected to the vertical cylinder and horizontally positioned directly above the conveying channel.

[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Using the above technical solution, the mushroom log enters the conveying mechanism. Due to the clamping effect of the conveyor belt, the height of the mushroom log remains constant. During the conveying process, the silver ear fungus leaves growing on the mushroom log are gradually lifted by the first and second support plates from a height close to or below the upper surface of the mushroom log. At this time, the silver ear fungus leaves are in an upward-stretched state. Simultaneously, as the limiting channel between the first and second support plates gradually narrows along the longitudinal direction, the lifting position of the silver ear fungus leaves gradually increases, from the edge position near the two sides of the mushroom log along the longitudinal direction to the position near the middle ear stem. After the leaves near the ear stem are lifted to a certain height, the ear stem at the bottom of the silver ear fungus is exposed, forming a cutting space. This allows the ear stem in the silver ear fungus to be removed in conjunction with the cutting mechanism. This application gradually lifts the silver ear fungus leaves on the mushroom log, thereby exposing the ear stem in the silver ear fungus and forming a cutting space for removal. This method does not damage the silver ear fungus and can completely remove the ear stem, resulting in good economic benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides an automatic ear stalk cutting device for silver ear fungus, comprising a frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a cutting mechanism 4;

[0037] The conveying mechanism 2 is installed inside the frame 1 and is used to clamp and convey the mushroom sticks;

[0038] The lifting mechanism 3 is installed on the frame 1 and is located directly above the conveying mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a first pallet 31 and a second pallet 32.

[0039] The first pallet 31 and the second pallet 32 ​​are symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal direction, and a limiting channel is formed between the first pallet 31 and the second pallet 32. The horizontal distance of the limiting channel gradually decreases along the longitudinal direction. The height of the end of the first pallet 31 and the second pallet 32 ​​near the conveying start end of the conveying mechanism 2 is H1, and the height of the end of the first pallet 31 and the second pallet 32 ​​near the conveying end end of the conveying mechanism 2 is H2. H1 is less than H2.

[0040] The cutting mechanism 4 is installed on the frame 1 and is used to cut the tremella on the mushroom stick located in the lifting mechanism 3;

[0041] In use, the mushroom sticks enter the conveying mechanism 2. Due to the clamping effect of the conveyor belt 22, the height of the mushroom sticks remains constant. During the conveying process, the silver ear fungus leaves growing on the mushroom sticks are gradually lifted by the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 32 from a height close to or below the upper surface of the mushroom sticks. At this time, the silver ear fungus leaves are in an upward stretched state. At the same time, as the limiting channel between the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 32 gradually narrows along the longitudinal direction, the part of the silver ear fungus leaves being lifted gradually increases, from the edge position near the two sides of the mushroom stick along the longitudinal direction to the part near the middle ear stem. After the leaves near the ear stem are lifted to a certain height, the ear stem at the bottom of the silver ear fungus is exposed and a cutting space is formed, thereby cooperating with the cutting mechanism 4 to remove the ear stem in the silver ear fungus. This application gradually lifts the silver ear fungus leaves on the mushroom sticks, thereby exposing the ear stem in the silver ear fungus and forming a cutting space for removal. This does not damage the silver ear fungus, but can completely remove the ear stem, resulting in good economic benefits.

[0042] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 also includes a third pallet 33 and a fourth pallet 34. The third pallet 33 is fixed to the end of the first pallet 31 away from the starting end of the conveying mechanism 2, and the fourth pallet 34 is fixed to the end of the second pallet 32 ​​away from the starting end of the conveying mechanism 2. A conveying channel is formed between the third pallet 33 and the fourth pallet 34. The conveying channel is a horizontal channel and is connected to the limiting channel. The height of the end of the third pallet 33 and the fourth pallet 34 near the starting end of the conveying mechanism 2 is H3, and the height of the end of the third pallet 33 and the fourth pallet 34 near the end of the conveying mechanism 2 is H4. H3 is equal to H3.

[0043] The conveying channel between the third tray 33 and the fourth tray 34 connects to the outlet of the limiting channel, allowing the silver ear to be completely transferred to the conveying channel so as to cooperate with the cutting mechanism 4 to remove the middle ear pedicle of the silver ear.

[0044] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 2 includes two parallel conveying lines arranged vertically along the longitudinal direction. The two adjacent vertical sides of the inner sides of the two conveying lines are clamping conveying surfaces. The two conveying lines are driven synchronously and rotate in opposite directions. Each conveying line includes a drive shaft 26 and a driven shaft 21, as well as a conveyor belt 22 that rotates cyclically between the drive shaft 26 and the driven shaft 21. The mushroom sticks are located between the two conveying lines. The two lines can both clamp and fix the mushroom sticks and convey them.

[0045] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 2 further includes an adjustment component, which includes a shaft seat 23, a lead screw 24, an adjustment block, and an adjustment handwheel 25. The lead screw 24 is connected to the frame 1 near both ends via the shaft seat 23. The surface of the lead screw 24 has two threaded ends with opposite directions of rotation. Each threaded end is threaded with an adjustment block, which is connected to the corresponding conveying line. The adjustment handwheel 25 is connected to one end of the lead screw 24. In use, the adjustment handwheel 25 is manually rotated to rotate the lead screw 24, and the two adjustment blocks on the lead screw 24 move towards or away from each other, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two conveying lines to meet the conveying needs of different mushroom sticks.

[0046] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 5 is located at the starting end of the conveying mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 5 is used to convey the rectangular mushroom sticks into the conveying mechanism 2 along the longitudinal direction.

[0047] In this embodiment, the cutting mechanism 4 includes a transverse cylinder 43, a cutting blade 45, and a longitudinal moving component 44. The cutting blade 45 is connected to the transverse cylinder 43 and is located at the lower part of the third support plate 33 and the fourth support plate 34, and at the upper part of the mushroom stick. The cutting edge of the cutting blade 45 faces the starting end of the conveying mechanism 2. The moving end of the longitudinal moving component 44 is connected to the transverse cylinder 43. The cutting mechanism 4 also includes a vertical cylinder 41 and a top pressure plate 42. The top pressure plate 42 is connected to the vertical cylinder 41 and is horizontally positioned directly above the conveying channel.

[0048] In use, after the mushroom sticks are conveyed by the conveying mechanism 2 into the cutting station of the cutting mechanism 4, the conveying mechanism 2 stops conveying, and the top pressure plate 42 descends to press the silver ear fungus onto the upper surfaces of the third support plate 33 and the fourth support plate 34, so that the silver ear fungus cannot move with the cutting blade 45 during cutting, ensuring the cutting quality. The cutting blade 45 moves repeatedly in the horizontal direction under the drive of the horizontal cylinder 43. At the same time, the cutting blade 45 and the horizontal cylinder 43 move in the longitudinal direction from the initial position close to the front end of the mushroom stick to the rear end of the mushroom stick under the action of the longitudinal moving component 44. After cutting all the ear stems of the silver ear fungus on the mushroom stick, the silver ear fungus is detached from the mushroom stick, the top pressure plate 42 rises to reset and collects the silver ear fungus. At the same time, the cutting blade 45 stops its reciprocating motion in the horizontal direction and moves to reset in the longitudinal direction. The conveyor line conveys the mushroom sticks to the end of the equipment.

[0049] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0050] The mushroom log enters the conveyor mechanism 2. Due to the clamping effect of the conveyor belt 22, the height of the mushroom log remains constant. During the conveying process, the silver ear fungus leaves growing on the mushroom log are gradually lifted by the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 32 from a height close to or below the upper surface of the mushroom log. At this time, the silver ear fungus leaves are in an upward stretched state. At the same time, as the limiting channel between the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 32 gradually narrows along the longitudinal direction, the part of the silver ear fungus leaves being lifted gradually increases, from the edge position near the two sides of the mushroom log along the longitudinal direction to the part near the middle ear stem. After the leaves near the ear stem are lifted to a certain height, the ear stem at the bottom of the silver ear fungus is exposed and a cutting space is formed, thereby cooperating with the cutting mechanism 4 to remove the ear stem in the silver ear fungus. This application gradually lifts the silver ear fungus leaves on the mushroom log, thereby exposing the ear stem in the silver ear fungus and forming a cutting space for removal. This does not damage the silver ear fungus and can completely remove the ear stem, resulting in good economic benefits.
