Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to edible fungi, in particular to an edible fungi inoculation machine. Background Art

[0002] The edible fungus inoculation machine is a mechanical device specially used for inoculation during the cultivation of edible fungi. In the artificial cultivation of edible fungi, inoculation (also called inoculation) is a very critical step. It refers to transferring the mother strain containing the mycelium of edible fungi to a new culture medium (or mushroom stick) and inserting a sponge so that the mycelium can grow in a suitable environment and eventually form a fruiting body (that is, what we usually call mushrooms or other edible fungi). Inserting a sponge means inserting a sponge block into the inoculated end of the mushroom stick to achieve the purpose of moisturizing, ventilation, and anti-pollution. The inoculation process can only be fully completed after the process of inserting the sponge is completed. In the prior art, the process of inserting the sponge is mainly completed manually, that is, manually inserting the sponge into the mushroom stick. The manual insertion of the sponge is inefficient, and the process of manually inserting the sponge may also bring in viruses or bacteria, which is not conducive to the growth of edible fungi.

[0023] The two ends of the sponge plugging mechanism 2 are respectively arranged on the two side plates 11 through the transmission mechanism 3. There are two transmission mechanisms 3, and the two transmission mechanisms 3 correspond to the two side plates 11. The transmission mechanism 3 includes a slide bar 31, a connecting plate 32, a connecting shaft 33, a driving block 34 and a first cylinder.

The fixed part of the first cylinder is arranged on the side plate 11, and the telescopic part of the first cylinder is connected to the driving block 34. It should be noted that the telescopic part of the first cylinder can only slide in the vertical direction, and the moving direction of the driving block 34 is always in the vertical direction.

[0024] The sponge plugging mechanism 2 comprises a seat body 21, a rotating shaft 22, two guide rods 23 and a plurality of moving bodies 24. The two ends of the seat body 21 are connected to two connecting shafts 33. The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably arranged on the seat body 21, and the rotating shaft can be driven to rotate by a driving mechanism. Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a belt, two pulleys and a motor. The motor is arranged on the seat 21, one of the pulleys is connected to the output end of the motor, and the other pulley is connected to the rotating shaft 22. The belt is sleeved on the two pulleys, and the belt, the two pulleys and the motor will not interact with other components. A plurality of slide grooves 221 are arranged along the circumference on the side wall of the rotating shaft 22. The connecting line of the first ends of the plurality of slide grooves 221 coincides with the first normal line of the rotating shaft 22, and the connecting line of the second ends of the plurality of slide grooves 221 coincides with the second normal line of the rotating shaft 22. Therefore, the connecting line of the first ends of the plurality of slide grooves 221 is parallel to the connecting line of the second ends of the plurality of slide grooves 221, and the distance between two adjacent slide grooves 221 from the first end to the second end gradually increases. At the same time, the plurality of slide grooves 221 are independent and will not interact with each other. Two guide rods 23 are parallel to the rotating shaft 22, and the two guide rods 23 are arranged on the seat 21. The moving body 24 corresponds to the slide groove 221 one by one; the moving body 24 includes a moving block 241, a horizontal plate 242, an insertion rod 243 and a slider 244; the moving block 241 is sleeved on two guide rods 23; the moving block 241 slides along the guide rod 23; the horizontal plate 242 is arranged on the moving block 241; in some embodiments, the horizontal plate 242 can also be an L-shaped plate; the first end of the insertion rod 243 is arranged on the horizontal plate 242, the insertion rod 243 is arranged perpendicular to the horizontal plate 242, the slider 244 is arranged on the moving block 241, and the slider 244 corresponds to the slide groove 221.

[0025] The feeding mechanism 4 includes two feeding plates 41 and a second cylinder 42. The two feeding plates 41 are arranged vertically, the two feeding plates 41 are parallel, the two feeding plates 41 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the through hole 112, the two ends of the two feeding plates 41 are respectively arranged on the two side plates 11, and a channel is formed between the two feeding plates 41, and the cross section of the channel can allow a sponge 5 to pass through. In other embodiments, the upper feeding plate 41 is slidably arranged on the two side plates 11, and a third cylinder can be arranged, and the fixed part of the third cylinder is arranged on the side plate 11. The telescopic part of the third cylinder is connected to one of the feeding plates 41, driving the feeding plate 41 to move up and down to adapt to sponges 5 of different heights. Both the front and rear sides of the feeding plate 41 are provided with protrusions 411, and the protrusions 411 face the direction of the channel, and the sponge 5 is located between the protrusions 411. The fixing part of the second cylinder 42 is arranged on the two side plates 11. Specifically, a support plate is arranged, and the two sides of the support plate are connected to the two side plates 11. The fixing part of the second cylinder 42 is arranged on the support plate, and the telescopic part of the second cylinder 42 is connected to the push plate 43. The height of the push plate 43 is the same as the distance between the upper and lower protrusions 411. The push plate 43 slides in a direction perpendicular to the channel. In actual use, a centrifugal feeder can be used to arrange the sponges 5 in a row and feed them into the channel through the through holes 112 of the side plates 11. In other embodiments, a baffle can be arranged so that the baffle is located in the channel. The baffle is used to limit the mobile terminal of the sponge 5.

[0026] When in use, a plurality of mushroom sticks can be arranged in a row in a basket, and the basket can be moved along a conveyor belt. When the basket is moved to an inoculation mechanism, the fungus species can be inoculated into the mushroom sticks.

[0027] At the same time of inoculation, the first cylinder drives the driving block 34 to move upward. Initially, when the slide bar 31 is located in the third part and the connecting shaft 33 is located at the bottom of the slide bar 31, the driving block 34 drives the slide bar 31, the connecting plate 32, and the connecting shaft 33 to move upward, and the connecting shaft 33 drives the sponge plugging mechanism 2 to move upward. When the slide bar 31 is located in the second part, since the driving block 34 can only move up and down, it is manifested that the driving block 34 moves upward, and the slide bar 31 moves upward along the second part while rotating clockwise. The slide bar 31 drives the connecting plate 32, the connecting shaft 33 and the sponge plugging mechanism 2 to move and rotate clockwise until the slide bar 31 is located in the first part. The connecting plate 32 is horizontal, that is, the slide bar 31 and the driving block 34 are at the same horizontal position. This state is as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the sponge plugging mechanism 2 rotates 90 degrees, so that the insertion rod 243 is horizontally facing the direction of the sponge 5. During this process, the insertion rod 243 will not contact the loading plate 41.

[0028] The rotating shaft 22 is rotated to make the slider 244 drive the moving block 241 to slide, and the distance between two adjacent moving blocks 241 is adjusted so that the insertion rod 243 connected to the moving block 241 corresponds to the sponge 5 on the loading plate 41 one by one.

[0029] The second cylinder 42 is extended to push the push plate 43 to move toward the insertion rod 243, and the push plate 43 pushes the sponge 5 to move toward the insertion rod 243, so that the sponge 5 is sleeved on the insertion rod 243, and the material taking process of the sponge 5 is completed. In addition, the sponge 5 will not fall during this process.

[0030] The first cylinder drives the driving block 34 to move downward, and the driving block 34 drives the connecting shaft 33 and the sponge plugging mechanism 2 to move downward. This process is opposite to the above process, which is manifested in that the sponge plugging mechanism 2 moves downward and rotates 90 degrees in the opposite direction at the same time, and the insertion rod 243 of the sponge 5 is facing downward.

[0031] The rotating shaft 22 is rotated to make the slider 244 drive the moving block 241 to slide, and the distance between two adjacent moving blocks 241 is adjusted so that the insertion rod 243 of the sponge 5 connected to the moving block 241 corresponds to the position where the sponge 5 needs to be inserted in the next mushroom stick in the basket.

[0032] When the basket with the mushroom sticks moves to below the insertion rod 243, the first cylinder continues to drive the driving block 34 to move downward. Since the sliding rod 31 moves downward in the third part during this process, that is, the connecting shaft 33 is always located below the sliding rod 31, and the connecting plate 32 is vertical; while the driving block 34 moves downward, the sliding rod 31, the connecting plate 32 and the connecting shaft 33 all move downward, thereby driving the sponge plugging mechanism 2 to move downward, the insertion rod 243 drives the sponge 5 to move downward, and at the same time the cross plate 242 plugs the sponge 5 into the mushroom stick, so that the first cylinder drives the driving block 34, the connecting shaft 33 and the sponge plugging mechanism 2 to move upward. The state of this device is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the insertion rod 243 leaves the mushroom stick and leaves the sponge 5 in the mushroom stick, thus completing the process of plugging the sponge 5.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
