Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fungus inoculation machine and belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery. Background Art

[0002] The inoculation machine is one of the key equipment in the production of edible fungi, which is used to inoculate the fungi into the culture medium or the fungus bag to ensure the rapid growth of the mycelium and the uniform distribution of the excellent fungi. The design of the inoculation machine can improve the efficiency of inoculation, reduce the pollution rate, reduce manual operation, and improve production efficiency. The existing inoculation machine, such as the edible fungi inoculation machine disclosed in the publication number CN103155798A, has a simple structure, and only relies on the impact force of the cylinder to send the solid fungi into the steel pipe using a mechanical accessory, and then the machine moves down, punctures the fungus bag, and ejects the fungi into the culture medium. This inoculation method cannot achieve uniform inoculation of the fungi into the culture medium.
