Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of edible fungus cultivation, and in particular to an intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine. Background Art

[0002] Edible mushroom cultivation on logs is a traditional method of producing edible fungi. It primarily utilizes logs as a culture medium, simulating the natural growth environment of mycelium. The core processes include log drilling, inoculation, and capping. First, log drilling involves drilling inoculation holes at specific intervals on the wood surface. Then, inoculation is performed by filling the holes with artificially cultivated fungi and compacting them. Finally, capping seals the inoculation holes, physically isolating them from other bacteria, minimizing water loss, and creating a stable microenvironment for the mycelium.

[0003] Conventional techniques typically separate log drilling, inoculation, and capping processes. Manual intervention is required at each step to align the inoculation and capping equipment with the holes created by the log drilling equipment, ensuring proper inoculation and capping. This approach requires manual movement of logs during both the inoculation and capping steps, resulting in low efficiency and high labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides an intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine, which improves the problem of low efficiency and high labor intensity in the prior art that logs need to be manually moved to align the inoculation holes of the logs with the equipment, and can realize automatic alignment of the inoculation holes of the logs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine, comprising:

[0006] A log conveying device, comprising a conveyor belt and a log positioning assembly, wherein the log positioning assembly is mounted on the conveyor belt along the width direction of the conveyor belt and is arranged corresponding to the log punching device, the fungus inoculation device, and the capping device, and the log positioning assembly is at least used to limit the axial rotation of the log;

[0007] A log punching device, the log punching device being arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt and being used for processing inoculation holes on the surface of the log;

[0008] A fungus seed inoculation device, the fungus seed inoculation device is arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt and is spaced apart from the log punching device along the running direction of the conveyor belt;

[0009] a capping device, the capping device being arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt and being arranged on a side of the fungus inoculation device away from the log punching device along the running direction of the conveyor belt;

[0010] A clamping device is mounted on the log punching device, the fungus inoculation device, and the capping device, and is provided corresponding to each of the log positioning assemblies. The clamping device is used to clamp and rotate the log. During use, the log is mounted on the log positioning assembly, and the conveyor belt transfers the log and the log positioning assembly to the log punching device. The clamping device mounted on the log punching device clamps and rotates both ends of the log, so that the log punching device can process inoculation holes on the outer peripheral surface of the log. After the punching is completed, the clamping device installed on the log punching device rotates the log to the same posture as before the inoculation hole is processed, and the log positioning assembly restores the restriction on the movement of the log. The conveyor belt transfers the log after punching and the log positioning assembly to the bacterial inoculation device. Since the posture of the log is the same as before the inoculation hole is processed, the inoculation hole on the side of the log facing the bacterial inoculation device has been aligned with the bacterial inoculation device. It is only necessary to rotate the clamping device installed on the bacterial inoculation device at the same step angle as the clamping device installed on the log punching device to align the inoculation holes on different sides of the log with the bacterial inoculation device, thereby completing the bacterial inoculation. Similarly, the log can also be aligned with the capping device in the same way to complete the capping. The intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of the present invention can realize the automatic alignment of the log inoculation holes, which helps to improve the efficiency of edible fungus cultivation and reduce labor intensity.

[0011] As an optional technical solution, the log punching device includes:

[0012] A guide rail, wherein the extending direction of the guide rail forms an acute angle or a right angle with the running direction of the conveyor belt;

[0013] A drilling assembly, wherein the number of the drilling assemblies is multiple, and the drilling assembly includes a drill bit and a slider, the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the drill bit is rotatably connected to the end of the slider along the extension direction of the guide rail;

[0014] A punching positioning assembly connected to the drill bit, comprising two positioning portions, wherein the angle between the extending direction of the positioning portions and the extending direction of the drill bit is acute, and the angles between the extending directions of the two positioning portions and the extending direction of the drill bit are equal, and the direction of the line connecting the two positioning portions forms an acute angle or a right angle with the direction of the rotation axis between the drill bit and the slider;

[0015] The clamping device is provided on a side of the drilling assembly away from the guide rail, the clamping device is provided corresponding to the drill bit, the clamping device is used to clamp and rotate the wood segment, and the rotation axis direction is parallel to the rotation axis direction between the drill bit and the slider;

[0016] The positioning portions are at least partially closer to the clamping device relative to the drill bit along the extension direction of the guide rail. During use, the clamping device clamps the two end surfaces of the log, and the drilling assembly and the punching and positioning assembly slide along the guide rail and approach the log. The positioning portions contact the log before the drill bit, and the log is positioned between the two positioning portions. Because the drill bit connected to the punching and positioning assembly is rotatable relative to the slider, as the punching and positioning assembly continues to slide along the guide rail, the punching and positioning assembly also slides around the surface of the log, eventually causing the facing sides of the two positioning portions to simultaneously contact the outer peripheral surface of the log. At this time, the side surfaces of the two positioning portions are tangent to the outer peripheral surface of the log, and the direction of the angle bisector of the angle formed by the two positioning portions, i.e., the extension direction of the drill bit, intersects the axis of the log. This allows the inoculation hole drilled by the drill bit to be radially aligned with the log, which helps reduce the number of times the inoculation equipment needs to adjust the position of the log when inserting the inoculation hole to inoculate the bacteria in the subsequent process, thereby improving the efficiency of the inoculation.

[0017] As an optional technical solution, the drilling assembly further includes a connecting portion, the connecting portion being rotatably connected to the slider, and the drill bit being slidably connected to the connecting portion perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the connecting portion and the slider. Since the log is clamped by the clamping device and is thus restricted from moving in the horizontal direction, when the punching and positioning assembly slides relatively significantly around the outer circumference of the log, the punching and positioning assembly needs to rely on the sliding of the drill bit along the connecting portion to maintain contact with the outer circumference of the log. Otherwise, it can only rely on the fitting clearance between the components and the elastic deformation to slide slightly. It can be seen that this technical solution can increase the sliding amplitude of the punching and positioning assembly, thereby enabling the log punching device to process inoculation holes along the radial direction of the log on logs with a wider diameter range.

[0018] As an optional technical solution, the guide rail, the drilling assembly and the punching positioning assembly constitute a punching system, and there are multiple punching systems, and the guide rails of the multiple punching systems are arranged in parallel and at intervals;

[0019] The drilling assembly further includes an abutment portion, one end of the abutment portion being connected to the slider and the other end extending away from the guide rail;

[0020] The segment wood drilling device further comprises a driving assembly, the driving assembly comprises a driving rod, a rotating shaft and a first connecting rod, the driving rod is arranged along the direction of the line between the plurality of guide rails, the driving rod is arranged on the side of the abutting portion facing the drill bit, and the abutting portion abuts against the driving rod; the rotating shaft is arranged parallel to the driving rod, and one side of the first connecting rod is connected to the driving rod and the other side of the first connecting rod is connected to the rotating shaft. In use, the rotating shaft rotates, the first connecting rod drives the driving rod to move downward, the drilling assembly loses the constraint of the driving rod, can approach the segment wood under the action of gravity, and starts drilling from the surface of the segment wood. By adjusting the length of the drill bit and other means, a planting hole with the same depth can be drilled. After drilling is completed, the rotating shaft is reversely rotated, the driving rod abuts against the abutting portion, and thus a plurality of drilling systems are reset at a time. The segment wood drilling device of the technical solution does not need to provide a separate driving source for each drilling system, which is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing and use cost of the intelligent segment wood drilling, planting and sealing integrated machine.

[0021] As an optional technical solution, the driving assembly further comprises a handle and a second connecting rod, one end of the second connecting rod is connected to the rotating shaft, the angle between the line connecting the end of the second connecting rod to the rotating shaft and the line connecting the end of the first connecting rod away from the rotating shaft to the rotating shaft is an obtuse angle or a straight angle, a counterweight is arranged at the end of the second connecting rod, and the handle is connected to the rotating shaft. The handle can be used to control the lifting of the driving rod by manual means, so as to control the switching of the segment wood drilling device between the drilling state and the reset state, which is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing and use cost of the intelligent segment wood drilling, planting and sealing integrated machine. The counterweight can reduce the difficulty of operating the handle, so as to save labor.

[0022] As an optional technical solution, the technical solution further comprises:

[0023] The feeding assembly comprises a first bin and a stirring component, and the stirring component is rotatably arranged in the first bin.

[0024] The planting assembly comprises a planting pipe, the planting pipe is connected to the first bin and arranged along the secant direction of the revolution track of the stirring component, and the communication port of the planting pipe and the first bin corresponds to the arrangement of the stirring component.

[0025] The stirring component is used at least for transporting bacteria to the planting pipe.

[0026] The feeding assembly and inoculation assembly are mounted on the fungus inoculation device. During use, the fungus to be inoculated is stored in the first silo, and the log to be inoculated is mounted corresponding to the inoculation tube. Before inoculation, the stirring component rotates, causing the fungus in the first silo to follow the movement to prevent clogging. Simultaneously, the fungus is fed into the inoculation tube, ensuring that the tube is filled or nearly filled with fungus each time it is inoculated. This improves the consistency of the amount of inoculated fungus across multiple inoculations, thereby beneficially affecting the yield and quality of edible fungi.

[0027] As an optional technical solution, the inoculation assembly further includes a sleeve, a piston, and a valve plate. The sleeve is connected to the first silo and is arranged corresponding to the stirring component. The inoculation tube is slidably arranged inside the sleeve and is connected to the first silo through the connecting port between the sleeve and the first silo. The piston is slidably arranged on the inoculation tube. The valve plate is arranged at the end of the inoculation tube. The valve plate is used to close when the pressure on the valve plate is less than a threshold value and to open when the pressure on the valve plate is greater than or equal to the threshold value. Before inoculation, the stirring component rotates to fill the inoculation tube with bacterial strains. At this time, the pressure on the valve plate is less than the threshold value, and the valve plate remains closed, which helps to prevent the bacterial strains from spilling from the inoculation tube. During inoculation, the inoculation tube and the piston slide axially along the sleeve until the edge of the inoculation tube contacts the edge of the inoculation hole on the log, and the inoculation tube stops moving. At this time, the piston continues to move, cooperating with the closed valve plate to compact the bacteria in the inoculation tube until the pressure on the valve plate reaches the threshold value. The piston continues to move so that the compacted bacteria enter the inoculation hole of the log to complete the inoculation. The magnitude of the pressure on the bacteria is the threshold value. Since the inoculation tube continues to move toward the log before contacting the surface of the log, the intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of this technical solution can adapt to logs of different diameters and complete the inoculation. At the same time, the valve plate makes the bacteria in the inoculation tube be subjected to a pressure of the threshold value and then inoculated into the log, achieving the purpose of constant pressure, which is conducive to making the internal structure of the bacteria inoculated into the log by the inoculation tube uniform and reducing the difference in the quality of edible fungi grown by the bacteria.

[0028] As an optional technical solution, the stirring component comprises a first paddle and a second paddle, the first paddle and the second paddle are coaxially arranged, and the included angle between the extension direction of the first paddle and the extension direction of the second paddle is an acute angle or a right angle, the first paddle is arranged at the feeding port of the first bin, and the second paddle is arranged at the communication port between the first bin and the inoculation tube. When the bacteria enter the first bin, they need to pass through the rotation track of the first paddle, at this time, the first paddle can disperse the lumps in the bacteria entering the first bin, improving the uniformity of the bacteria; the bacteria dispersed by the first paddle are filled into the inoculation tube by the second paddle, so that the internal organization of the bacteria inoculated into the log by the inoculation tube is uniform, which is beneficial to reduce the difference in quality of edible fungi grown from the bacteria.

[0029] As an optional technical solution, the feeding assembly further comprises a second bin, the second bin is communicated with the feeding port of the first bin, the volume of the second bin is greater than that of the first bin, and the second bin is used to provide bacteria to the first bin. Since the first bin is provided with the stirring component, in order to avoid excessive resistance when the stirring component rotates, the volume of the first bin needs to be limited, thereby limiting the amount of bacteria contained therein. By arranging the second bin with a volume greater than that of the first bin, a large amount of bacteria can be stored in the second bin, and the second bin can continuously supply bacteria to the first bin, thereby reducing the frequency of adding bacteria to the bacteria inoculation device of the present technical solution, and improving the inoculation efficiency.

[0030] As an optional technical solution, the feeding assembly and the inoculation assembly are further installed on the capping device. Since the material used for capping has similar physical properties to the bacteria itself, the capping device and the bacteria inoculation device can use the same feeding assembly and inoculation assembly to complete the capping operation, which is beneficial to reduce the types of parts and spare parts of the intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping all-in-one machine of the present embodiment, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance.

[0031] The one or more technical solutions provided by the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0032] The intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of the present invention is equipped with a log conveying device, and a log punching device, a strain inoculation device and a capping device are sequentially arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt of the log conveying device, and a clamping device that can clamp and rotate the log is installed on the log punching device, the strain inoculation device and the capping device. The conveyor belt is provided with a log positioning assembly that limits the rotation of the log, so that the log can be transferred to the strain inoculation device and the capping device in the same posture after being punched by the log punching device. The clamping device installed on the strain inoculation device and the capping device only needs to be rotated at the same step angle as the clamping device installed on the log punching device, so that the inoculation holes located on different sides of the log can be aligned with the strain inoculation device and the capping device, thereby completing the strain inoculation and capping.

[0055] Embodiment one

[0056] A segment wood conveying device 1, comprising a conveying belt 11 and a segment wood positioning assembly 12 mounted on the conveying belt 11 along the width direction of the conveying belt 11 and corresponding to a segment wood punching device 2, a spawn inoculation device 3 and a capping device 4, the segment wood positioning assembly 12 is at least used to limit the axial rotation of the segment wood;

[0057] A segment wood punching device 2 corresponding to the conveying belt 11, the segment wood punching device 2 is used to process inoculation holes on the surface of the segment wood;

[0058] A spawn inoculation device 3 corresponding to the conveying belt 11, and arranged spaced apart from the segment wood punching device 2 along the running direction of the conveying belt 11;

[0059] A capping device 4 corresponding to the conveying belt 11, and arranged on the side away from the segment wood punching device 2 of the spawn inoculation device 3 along the running direction of the conveying belt 11;

[0060] The clamping device 5 is mounted on the log punching device 2, the fungus inoculation device 3, and the capping device 4, and is provided corresponding to each of the log positioning assemblies 12. The clamping device 5 is used to clamp and rotate the log. During use, the log is mounted on the log positioning assembly 12, and the conveyor belt 11 transfers the log and the log positioning assembly 12 to the log punching device 2. The clamping device 5 mounted on the log punching device 2 clamps and rotates both ends of the log, so that the log punching device 2 can process the inoculation hole on the outer peripheral surface of the log. After the punching is completed, the clamping device 5 installed on the log punching device 2 rotates the log to the same posture as before the inoculation hole is processed, and the log positioning assembly 12 resumes the restriction on the movement of the log. The conveyor belt 11 transfers the log after the punching and the log positioning assembly 12 to the bacterial inoculation device 3. Since the posture of the log is the same as before the inoculation hole is processed, the inoculation hole on the side of the log facing the bacterial inoculation device 3 has been aligned with the bacterial inoculation device 3. It is only necessary to rotate the clamping device 5 installed on the bacterial inoculation device 3 at the same step angle as the clamping device 5 installed on the log punching device 2, so that the inoculation holes on different sides of the log can be aligned with the bacterial inoculation device 3, thereby completing the bacterial inoculation. Similarly, the log can also be aligned with the capping device 4 in the same way to complete the capping. The intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of the present invention can realize the automatic alignment of the log inoculation holes, which helps to improve the efficiency of edible fungus cultivation and reduce labor intensity.

[0061] Among them, the segment positioning assembly 12 can be a component with an installation groove along the width direction of the conveyor belt 11, the width of the bottom of the installation groove is smaller than the width of the top, or the cross-section along the extension direction of the installation groove is V-shaped, so that the two side surfaces of the installation groove are tangent to the outer peripheral surface of the segment, and the axial rotation of the segment is limited by the weight of the segment itself.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] On the basis of the first embodiment, the log punching device 2 comprises: a guide rail 21, a drilling assembly 22 and a punching positioning assembly 23. The extension direction of the guide rail 21 forms an acute angle or a right angle with the running direction of the conveyor belt 11; the number of the drilling assemblies 22 is multiple, and the drilling assembly 22 comprises a drill bit 221 and a slider 222, the slider 222 is slidably connected to the guide rail 21, and the drill bit 221 is rotatably connected to the end of the slider 222 along the extension direction of the guide rail 21; the punching positioning assembly 23 is connected to the drill bit 221, and the punching positioning assembly 23 comprises two positioning parts 231, the extension direction of the positioning part 231 is parallel to the extension direction of the drill bit 221. The included angle is an acute angle, and the extending direction of the two positioning portions 231 is equal to the extending direction of the drill bit 221. The direction of the line between the two positioning portions 231 and the direction of the rotating shaft 252 between the drill bit 221 and the slider 222 are acute or right angles. The clamping device 5 is provided on the side of the drilling assembly 22 away from the guide rail 21. The clamping device 5 is provided corresponding to the drill bit 221. The clamping device 5 is used to clamp and rotate the log, and the direction of the rotating shaft 252 is parallel to the direction of the rotating shaft 252 between the drill bit 221 and the slider 222.

[0064] The positioning portion 231 is at least partially closer to the clamping device 5 relative to the drill bit 221 along the extending direction of the guide rail 21 .

[0065] When in use, the clamping device 5 clamps the two end faces of the wood segment, the drilling assembly 22 and the punching positioning assembly 23 slide along the guide rail 21 and approach the wood segment, the positioning portion 231 will contact the wood segment before the drill bit 221, and the wood segment will be close to the drill bit 221 between the two positioning portions 231. Since the drill bit 221 connected to the punching and positioning component 23 can rotate relative to the slider 222, as the punching and positioning component 23 continues to slide along the guide rail 21, the punching and positioning component 23 will also slide around the surface of the wood segment, and eventually the facing sides of the two positioning parts 231 will contact the outer peripheral surface of the wood segment at the same time. At this time, the side surfaces of the two positioning parts 231 are tangent to the outer peripheral surface of the wood segment, and the direction of the bisector of the angle formed by the two positioning parts 231, that is, the extension direction of the drill bit 221, intersects with the axis of the wood segment, so that the inoculation hole processed by the drill bit 221 is along the radial direction of the wood segment, which is beneficial to reduce the number of times the inoculation equipment in the subsequent process adjusts the position of the wood segment when extending into the inoculation hole to inoculate the bacteria, thereby improving the efficiency of bacteria inoculation.

[0066] As an optional embodiment, the drilling assembly 22 also includes a connecting portion 223, which is rotatably connected to the slider 222, and the drill bit 221 is slidably connected to the connecting portion 223 perpendicular to the direction of the rotating shaft 252 between the connecting portion 223 and the slider 222. Since the log is clamped by the clamping device 5 and is restricted from moving in the horizontal direction, when the punching and positioning assembly 23 slides around the outer peripheral surface of the log to a large extent, the punching and positioning assembly 23 needs to rely on the sliding of the drill bit 221 along the connecting portion 223 to maintain contact with the outer peripheral surface of the log. Otherwise, it can only rely on the matching clearance between the various components and the elastic deformation to slide slightly. It can be seen that this embodiment can increase the sliding amplitude of the punching and positioning assembly 23, so that the log punching device 2 can process inoculation holes along the radial direction of the log on logs with a wider diameter range.

[0067] Specifically, a guide rail 21 or a sliding groove may be provided on the connecting portion 223 , and the drill bit 221 is installed on the guide rail 21 or the sliding groove to achieve a sliding connection between the drill bit 221 and the connecting portion 223 .

[0068] As an optional embodiment, the drilling assembly 22 also includes an elastic member 224, which abuts against the side of the drill bit 221 close to the slider 222 along the extension direction of the drill bit 221. After the drilling positioning assembly 23 slides significantly around the outer peripheral surface of the log, the extension direction of the drill bit 221 deviates from the extension direction of the guide rail 21 to a large extent, so that the efficiency of the feed motion of the drill bit 221 driven by the force along the guide rail 21 is reduced, affecting the drilling efficiency. Since the elastic member 224 is arranged along the extension direction of the drill bit 221, it can supplement the driving force of the feed motion direction of the drill bit 221, drive the drill bit 221 to drill into the log, and process the inoculation hole. It can be seen that this embodiment is conducive to improving the drilling efficiency of the log punching device 2. The elastic member 224 can be a pad-shaped element made of a spring, rubber or silicone elastic material, etc., and this embodiment is not limited here.

[0069] As an optional embodiment, the drilling assembly 22 further includes a stopper 225, which is adjustably mounted on the outer circumference of the drill rod of the drill bit 221 along the extension direction of the drill bit 221. When the drill bit 221 penetrates the log to a certain depth, causing the stopper 225 to contact the surface of the log, the stopper 225 prevents the drill bit 221 from drilling further, thereby ensuring that each hole drilled by the log drilling device 2 has the same depth.

[0070] As an optional embodiment, the drilling and positioning assembly 23 further includes a guide rod 232, which is slidably connected to the drill bit 221 along the extension direction of the drill bit 221, and the positioning portion 231 is connected to the guide rod 232. The guide rod 232 allows the positioning portion 231 to be further away from the drill bit 221, so that logs of different diameters can be first fixed and fitted by the two positioning portions 231 before contacting the drill bit 221 to process the inoculation hole, which helps improve the adaptability of the log drilling device 2 to logs of different diameters.

[0071] As an optional embodiment, two guide rods 232 are provided, spaced apart along the line connecting the two positioning portions 231. The drilling and positioning assembly 23 also includes a force sensor connected to the guide rods 232 for detecting the axial force acting on the guide rods 232. The force sensor detects the axial force acting on the two guide rods 232, thereby determining the contact between the log and the two positioning portions 231 and, therefore, whether the extension direction of the drill bit 221 intersects the axis of the log.

[0072] As an optional embodiment, the guide rail 21, the drilling assembly 22, and the punching positioning assembly 23 constitute a punching system. There are multiple punching systems, and the guide rails 21 of the multiple punching systems are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The log punching device 2 of this embodiment can simultaneously process multiple inoculation holes on the log, which is conducive to improving the punching efficiency.

[0073] As an optional embodiment, the drilling assembly 22 further includes an abutment portion 226 , one end of the abutment portion 226 is connected to the slider 222 , and the other end extends away from the guide rail 21 ;

[0074] The log drilling device 2 further includes a drive assembly 25, which includes a drive rod 251, a rotating shaft 252, and a first connecting rod 253. The drive rod 251 is arranged along the line connecting the plurality of guide rails 21 and is disposed on the side of the abutment portion 226 facing the drill bit 221, with the abutment portion 226 abutting the drive rod 251. The rotating shaft 252 is arranged parallel to the drive rod 251, and the first connecting rod 253 is connected to the drive rod 251 on one side and to the rotating shaft 252 on the other side. When the log drilling device 2 of this embodiment is in use, the rotating shaft 252 rotates, causing the first connecting rod 253 to drive the drive rod 251 downward. The drilling assembly 22 loses the constraint of the drive rod 251 and can approach the log under the action of gravity and begin drilling from the log surface. By adjusting the length of the drill bit 221 or using the above-mentioned limit plate 225, inoculation holes of the same depth can be drilled. After the punching is completed, the rotating shaft 252 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the driving rod 251 to abut against the abutment portion 226, thereby resetting the multiple punching systems at once. The log punching device 2 of this embodiment does not require a separate driving source for each punching system, which helps reduce the manufacturing and use costs of the log punching device 2.

[0075] As an optional embodiment, the drive assembly 25 further includes a handle 255 and a second connecting rod 254. One end of the second connecting rod 254 is connected to the rotating shaft 252. The angle between the line connecting the end of the second connecting rod 254 and the rotating shaft 252 and the line connecting the end of the first connecting rod 253 facing away from the rotating shaft 252 and the rotating shaft 252 is obtuse or straight. A counterweight 2541 is provided at the end of the second connecting rod 254. The handle 255 is connected to the rotating shaft 252. The handle 255 can be used to manually control the raising and lowering of the drive rod 251, thereby controlling the switching of the log hole punching device 2 between the punching state and the reset state, which helps reduce the manufacturing and use costs of the log hole punching device 2. The counterweight 2541 can reduce the difficulty of operating the handle 255, thereby saving labor.

[0076] In addition, a driving element such as a rotary cylinder or a motor may also be used to drive the rotating shaft 252 to rotate. In practice, the selection should be made according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0077] As an optional embodiment, a mounting frame is further included. The mounting frame includes a horizontal beam and two longitudinal beams. The two longitudinal beams are arranged in parallel. The ends of the horizontal beam are respectively connected to the ends of the two longitudinal beams on the same side. The guide rail 21 is mounted on the horizontal beam, and the clamping device 5 is mounted on the longitudinal beam. The mounting frame of this embodiment has a door-like structure, which facilitates the installation of a conveyor belt 11 or other conveying device under the horizontal beam to transport the logs, thereby improving the efficiency of drilling large quantities of logs.

[0078] Example 3

[0079] Based on the first embodiment, the bacterial strain inoculation device 3 includes a feeding assembly 31 and an inoculation assembly 32. The feeding assembly 31 includes a first hopper 311 and a stirring member 312, which is rotatably mounted within the first hopper 311. The inoculation assembly 32 includes an inoculation tube 321, which is connected to the first hopper 311 and arranged along a secant of the rotational trajectory of the stirring member 312. The connection between the inoculation tube 321 and the first hopper 311 corresponds to the stirring member 312. The stirring member 312 is used to transport bacterial strains into the inoculation tube 321.

[0080] When using the intelligent log punching, inoculation, and capping machine of this embodiment, the fungus to be inoculated is stored in the first hopper 311, and the log to be inoculated is installed in the corresponding inoculation tube 321. Before inoculation, the stirring component 312 rotates, causing the fungus in the first hopper 311 to follow the movement, preventing clogging. At the same time, the fungus is transported into the inoculation tube 321, ensuring that the fungus inoculation tube 321 is full or nearly full with each inoculation. This improves the consistency of the inoculated fungus amount during multiple inoculations, thereby beneficially affecting the yield and quality of edible fungi.

[0081] In addition, the inoculation tube 321 should be arranged along the running direction of the conveyor belt 11 corresponding to the drill bit 221 in the second embodiment.

[0082] The stirring member 312 includes a first paddle 3121 and a second paddle 3122. The first paddle 3121 and the second paddle 3122 are coaxially arranged, and the angle between the extension direction of the first paddle 3121 and the extension direction of the second paddle 3122 is greater than 3° and less than or equal to 3°. The first paddle 3121 is arranged at the feed inlet of the first silo 311, and the second paddle 3122 is arranged at the connection between the first silo 311 and the inoculation tube 321. When the fungus enters the first silo 311, it must pass through the rotation trajectory of the first paddle 3121. At this time, the first paddle 3121 can break up the clumps of fungus entering the first silo 311, thereby improving the uniformity of the fungus. The fungus broken up by the first paddle 3121 is then loaded into the inoculation tube 321 by the second paddle 3122, so that the internal structure of the fungus inoculated into the log by the inoculation tube 321 is uniform, which helps to reduce the differences in the quality of the edible fungi grown from the fungus.

[0083] It should be noted that the first blade 3121 and the second blade 3122 can be driven by a driving member such as a rotary cylinder, a motor, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0084] Preferably, the first blade 3121 is columnar, which is beneficial for reducing the resistance of the bacteria to the first blade 3121 when the first blade 3121 breaks up the bacteria; the second blade 3122 is sheet-shaped, which is beneficial for the second blade 3122 to transport the bacteria to the inoculation tube 321.

[0085] As an optional embodiment, the second paddle 3122 includes a supporting surface 3122a, the normal of which is perpendicular to the diameter of the rotational trajectory of the second paddle 3122. The edge of the supporting surface 3122a, facing away from the first paddle 3121, abuts against the wall of the first silo 311, where the communication port is located. When the second paddle 3122 rotates, the edge of the supporting surface 3122a abuts against the wall of the first silo 311, thereby moving the bacterial strains located on the side of the communication port within the first silo 311 and ultimately allowing them to enter the inoculation tube 321. This reduces dead angles within the first silo 311 and helps prevent the bacterial strains from being retained in the first silo 311 for a long time and deteriorating.

[0086] As an optional embodiment, the inoculation assembly 32 also includes a sleeve 322, a piston 323, and a valve plate 324. The sleeve 322 is connected to the first silo 311 and is arranged corresponding to the stirring member 312. The inoculation tube 321 is slidably arranged inside the sleeve 322 and is connected to the first silo 311 through the connection between the sleeve 322 and the first silo 311. The piston 323 is slidably arranged on the inoculation tube 321. The valve plate 324 is arranged at the end of the inoculation tube 321. The valve plate 324 is used to close when the pressure on the valve plate 324 is less than a threshold value and to open when the pressure on the valve plate 324 is greater than or equal to the threshold value. Before inoculation, the stirring member 312 rotates to fill the inoculation tube 321 with bacterial culture. At this time, the pressure on the valve plate 324 is less than the threshold value, and the valve plate 324 remains closed, which helps prevent the bacterial culture from spilling out of the inoculation tube 321. During inoculation, the inoculation tube 321 and the piston 323 slide axially along the sleeve 322 until the edge of the inoculation tube 321 contacts the edge of the inoculation hole on the log. The inoculation tube 321 stops moving, and the piston 323 continues to move, cooperating with the closed valve plate 324 to compact the bacteria in the inoculation tube 321 until the pressure on the valve plate 324 reaches a threshold. The piston 323 continues to move so that the compacted bacteria enter the inoculation hole of the log to complete the inoculation. The magnitude of the pressure on the bacteria is the threshold. Because the inoculation tube 321 continues to move toward the log before contacting the log surface, the intelligent log punching, inoculation and capping integrated machine of this embodiment can adapt to logs of different diameters and complete inoculation. At the same time, the valve plate 324 causes the bacteria in the inoculation tube 321 to be subjected to a pressure of the threshold value before being inoculated into the log, achieving the purpose of constant pressure. This is conducive to making the internal structure of the bacteria inoculated into the log by the inoculation tube 321 uniform and reducing the differences in the quality of edible fungi grown from the bacteria.

[0087] Optionally, there are multiple valve discs 324, and the valve disc 324 may be fan-shaped, with its arc portion hinged to the edge of the inoculation tube 321. As a preferred embodiment, the central angle of the valve disc 324 is less than or equal to °.

[0088] Furthermore, a torsion spring or other elastic member 224 is installed at the hinge between the valve disc 324 and the inoculation tube 321, and a limit structure is provided on the inoculation tube 321 to prevent the valve disc 324 from folding into the inoculation tube 321. By controlling the elastic modulus of the torsion spring or other elastic member 224 and the magnitude of the preload force, the threshold value can be adjusted.

[0089] As an optional embodiment, the inoculation assembly 32 further comprises a first driving member 325 connected to the piston 323, and a position sensor arranged corresponding to the piston 323 and connected to the first driving member 325. The position sensor can identify the position of the piston 323, and thus identify whether the inoculation process is completed, so that the first driving member 325 can be stopped from driving the piston 323 after the inoculation is completed, avoiding that the piston 323 affects the inoculated bacteria. Exemplarily, the position sensor can be a magnetic switch, a photoelectric switch, etc., which are not limited in the present embodiment.

[0090] As an optional embodiment, the feeding assembly 31 further comprises a second bin 313 connected to the feeding port of the first bin 311, and the volume of the second bin 313 is greater than that of the first bin 311. The second bin 313 is used to provide bacteria to the first bin 311. Since the stirring member 312 is arranged in the first bin 311, in order to avoid excessive resistance when the stirring member 312 rotates, the volume of the first bin 311 needs to be limited, thereby limiting the amount of bacteria contained therein. By arranging a second bin 313 with a volume greater than that of the first bin 311, the second bin 313 can continuously supply bacteria to the first bin 311, which can reduce the frequency of adding bacteria to the bacteria inoculation device 3 of the present embodiment, and is beneficial to improve the inoculation efficiency. Moreover, unlike the communication port of the inoculation tube 321 and the first bin 311 which is limited by the diameter of the inoculation tube 321, the communication port of the first bin 311 and the second bin 313 is less limited, so that a larger cross-sectional area can be used to connect the first bin 311 and the second bin 313, avoiding blockage.

[0091] As an optional embodiment, a clamping system is further included, which is arranged corresponding to the inoculation tube 321 and is used to clamp and / or rotate the segment wood.

[0092] Embodiment Four

[0093] On the basis of Embodiment Two or Three, the clamping device 5 comprises a second driving member 51, a clamp 52, and a motion control assembly 53. The second driving member 51 is connected to the motion control assembly 53, the clamp 52 is connected to the motion control assembly 53 or the second driving member 51, and the motion control assembly 53 is used to control the motion state of the clamp 52. The clamp 52 is driven by the second driving member 51 to rotate, so that the segment wood rotates and the inoculation holes located on different sides of the segment wood are aligned with the drill bit 221 or the inoculation tube 321. The motion control assembly 53 can make the clamp 52 stop rotating when it rotates to a proper angle.

[0094] The second driving member 51 can be various motors that facilitate control of the rotation angle, and the motion control assembly 53 can be a cam divider or an angular displacement sensor, which are not limited in the present embodiment.
