Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] See Figures 1 - 5 As shown, an automatic inoculation device for Tremella aurantialba liquid spawn of the present invention includes an inoculation needle 1, an inoculation ball 2, and a conveyor belt 3.

[0041] The inoculation needle 1 is connected to a support rod 4 in a liftable manner. The inoculation needle 1 can be filled with Tremella aurantialba liquid spawn inside. An inoculation hole 11 is opened on the side near the needle tip end of the inoculation needle 1. Specifically, an inoculation hole with a diameter of 4 - 10 mm can be opened on the side at a distance of 0.8 - 1.2 cm from the end of the needle tube of the inoculation needle for the outflow of Tremella aurantialba liquid spawn; a leakage plate 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the inoculation hole 11, and the leakage plate 5 can close the inoculation hole 11; a diversion inclined plane 12 is provided inside the inoculation needle 1, and the bottom end of the diversion inclined plane 12 abuts and is fixed to the bottom end of the inoculation hole; specifically, the diversion inclined plane has an inclined section for guiding the flow direction of Tremella aurantialba liquid spawn and reducing residue.

[0042] The inoculation ball 2 is arranged adjacent to the inoculation needle and can be connected to the support rod in a liftable manner;

[0043] The conveyor belt 3 is used to place the fungus bag 6, and the fungus bag 6 can be conveyed by the conveyor belt 3 to the lower part of the inoculation needle 1 and the inoculation ball 2 and is automatically inoculated under the cooperation of the inoculation needle 1 and the inoculation ball 2.

[0044] Among them, as a specific implementation mode, the inoculation needle 1 is connected to a first power device 13, and the first power device 13 is fixed on the support rod 4. The power device is used to provide the power for the up - and - down lifting of the inoculation needle.

[0045] As a specific implementation, the inoculation ball 2 is connected to a second power device 21, and the second power device 21 is fixed on the support rod 4. The second power device is used to provide power for the inoculation ball to move up and down.

[0046] As a specific implementation, the leaking piece 5 is connected to a third power device 51, and the third power device 51 is fixed on the top of the inoculation hole 11, and the third power device is used to provide power for the leaking piece to rotate left and right.

[0047] The first power device, the second power device and the third power device include but are not limited to, for example, motors or cylinders that can be used in the prior art. Specifically, the first power device uses a first motor or a first cylinder, the second power device uses a second motor or a second cylinder, and the third power device uses a third motor. It should be noted that the third motor can be a micro motor, and there are currently micro motors with diameters ranging from a few millimeters to more than ten millimeters on the market. It is currently a mature technology to achieve controllable lifting through motor or cylinder drive and control rotation through motor drive.

[0048] As a specific embodiment, the top of the inoculation needle 1 is connected to the injection valve 14, and the injection valve 14 is connected to the liquid bacterial storage tank 7. The injection valve 14 can adopt the quantitative control injection valve in the prior art for accurate quantification. The valve core surface of the injection valve can be further coated with an antibacterial coating to reduce bacterial liquid residue.

[0049] As a specific implementation, the liquid bacterial strain storage tank 7 is provided with a sterile filtration vent 71 and a stirring device 72 inside to prevent the bacterial strain from settling.

[0050] As a specific implementation, the liquid strain storage tank is connected to a sterile water storage tank (not shown) for mixing the Tremella liquid strain and sterile water in proportion for dilution when necessary to achieve a desired inoculation concentration.

[0051] The inoculation method of the Tremella fuciformis liquid strain automatic inoculation device of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0052] S1. Place the bacteria bag 6 on the conveyor belt 3, and the conveyor belt 3 transfers the bacteria bag 6 to the bottom of the inoculation needle 1 and the inoculation ball 2;

[0053] S2. The inoculation needle 1 and the inoculation ball 2 are synchronously lowered, the inoculation needle 1 pierces the plastic film of the bacteria bag 6, the needle head and the inoculation hole 11 enter the plastic film of the bacteria bag, and the inoculation ball 2 presses a small pit 61 on the bacteria bag 6;

[0054] S3. The inoculation ball 2 rises to its original position, and the leak sheet 5 rotates to open the plastic film of the bacteria bag located at the small pit, so that the plastic film and the small pit form an inoculation space;

[0055] S4. The golden ear liquid bacteria flow from the inside of the inoculation needle 1 and flow into the inoculation space under the guidance of the guide slope 12, so that the golden ear liquid bacteria are inoculated onto the surface of the bacteria bag matrix;

[0056] S5. The leak sheet 5 rotates to its original position, and the inoculation needle 2 rises to its original position;

[0057] S6. The conveyor belt transfers another bacterial bag to the bottom of the inoculation needle and the inoculation ball, and steps S2-S5 are continued.

[0058] In this way, under the action of the conveyor belt, each fungus bag is conveyed one by one to the bottom of the inoculation needle and the inoculation ball, and then automatically inoculated with the cooperation of the inoculation needle and the inoculation ball. Therefore, the present invention adopts a completely different inventive concept and realizes the batch and automated injection of golden ear liquid fungus.

[0059] Can be combined with Figures 1 - 5 As shown, Figure 1 Corresponding to the first state of S1; Figure 2 Corresponding to the second state of S2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 Corresponding to the third and fourth states of S3; Figure 5 Corresponding to the fifth state of S4, Figure 5 The arrows in the figure indicate the flow direction of the Tricholoma auricularia liquid culture.

[0060] As a specific implementation, in S4, the golden ear liquid bacteria are quantitatively flowed from the liquid bacteria storage tank into the inoculation needle through the injection valve to achieve accurate quantitative inoculation control of each bacteria bag. In this way, the flow direction of the complete golden ear liquid bacteria is: liquid bacteria storage tank → injection valve → inoculation needle → inoculation space.

[0061] In the above working process, when the leak sheet is not in working state, the leak sheet and the inoculation hole form a closed state, realizing the closure of the inoculation hole, which can effectively prevent miscellaneous bacteria from invading the inoculation needle; when in working state, the leak sheet props up the plastic film to form an inoculation channel; the leak sheet can separate the surface covering on the bacterial bag, that is, the plastic film, from the matrix to form an inoculation space; the inoculation space is conducive to the accurate inoculation of the golden ear liquid strain to the matrix surface of the culture medium, improving the inoculation efficiency and uniformity. In addition, the diversion of the diversion slope makes the golden ear liquid strain be sprayed directionally to the inoculation space to complete the inoculation.

[0062] In summary, the present invention realizes the full-automatic, high-precision, and low-pollution inoculation of Tremella fuciformis liquid strains, significantly improves the inoculation efficiency and strain survival rate, and is suitable for factory-based Tremella fuciformis cultivation.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] Referring to Example 1, the difference from Example 1 is thatFigure 6 As shown in Figure 6 , this embodiment has 2 sets of combinations of inoculation balls and inoculation needles at the same time, which can achieve inoculating 2 places on the same spawn bag at one time. There is still one conveyor belt for conveying the spawn bags.

[0065] In summary, compared with the prior art such as CN118542191A, on the one hand, the present invention adopts the structure of the inoculation needle with a lateral opening and a diversion slope, and controls the flow rate of the bacterial liquid through the opening and closing of the leakage plate to ensure that the bacterial species accurately drip to the target position of the spawn bag. On the other hand, the present invention adopts the technical means of automatic inoculation with the cooperation of the inoculation needle and the inoculation ball. Among them, the inoculation ball pre-compacts the culture medium to form an inoculation pit, and then the inoculation needle injects bacteria laterally. A single lifting action completes the entire process of positioning and injecting bacteria. Coupled with the automatic transmission of the conveyor belt, it can realize the batch and automatic injection of Tremella aurantialba bacterial liquid. It adopts an inventive concept completely different from the prior art, and the present invention has higher adaptability for batch production. The present invention continuously conveys the spawn bags through the conveyor belt and cooperates with the liftable inoculation assembly (inoculation needle and inoculation ball) to realize assembly line operation, which is more suitable for industrial production scenarios.

[0066] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of the feasible embodiments of the present invention, and they are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent embodiments or changes made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
