[0030] It is worth noting that the Cordyceps sinensis cultivation production line provided in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a conveyor belt 1, a container lowering device 2, a feed adding device 3, a soil adding device 4, a spawn and insect body adding device 5, and a packaging and stacking device 6. During operation, the on-site operator places the container of Cordyceps sinensis to be cultivated in the container lowering device 2, and the container lowering device 2 places the container on the conveyor belt 1 in sequence. When the container passes through the feed adding device 3, feed is added to the container. When the container passes through the soil adding device 4, soil is added to the container. When the container passes through the spawn and insect body adding device 5, spawn and insect body are added to the container. Afterwards, the container with feed, soil, and spawn and insect body added passes through the packaging and stacking device 6 for packaging and stacking. This embodiment can realize the full process automation of the Cordyceps sinensis cultivation process, and has high operating efficiency, controllable material quality, good finished product quality, and controllable cultivation effect, solving the problem of small-scale artificial cultivation of Cordyceps sinensis and inability to achieve mass production in the prior art.

[0031] It should be noted that the Cordyceps sinensis production line provided in this embodiment can realize the mass production of artificially cultivated Cordyceps sinensis. In detail, it can completely change the dependence on wild resources, avoid vegetation destruction and soil erosion due to excessive mining of plateau meadows, protect the fragile ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and reduce the cost of ecological restoration; in addition, it can break through the scarcity bottleneck of natural Cordyceps sinensis with an annual output of only hundreds of tons, and stabilize the high market price of tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram through factory production, so that medicinal and health care needs can be met on a large scale, and at the same time promote its expansion from high-end medicinal materials to functional foods, cosmetics and other diversified fields; in addition, the mass production model can control the content of active ingredients such as Cordyceps polysaccharides and cordycepin through standardized cultivation, avoid quality fluctuations of wild products due to differences in growth environment, and can eliminate safety hazards such as excessive heavy metals through sterile cultivation.

[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of grooves 11 for placing containers are provided on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1. Different numbers of grooves 11 can be provided according to the amount of each loading, so as to ensure the stability and safety of placing feed, soil and insects.

[0033] Optionally, the depth of the groove 11 matches the thickness of the bottom of the container, and an elastic limiter is provided on the inner wall of the groove 11 to ensure that the container remains stably positioned during transportation and to prevent the container from shifting or tipping over due to vibration.

[0034] Optionally, the container lowering device 2 includes a storage rack, a robotic arm and a positioning mechanism. The storage rack is used to store empty containers, and multiple layers of trays are arranged inside the storage rack. Each layer of tray can accommodate multiple containers. A vacuum suction cup is provided at the end of the robotic arm for grabbing the empty container and placing it accurately in the groove 11 on the conveyor belt 1. The positioning mechanism is located below the robotic arm and includes a horizontal adjustment plate and a vertical limit plate for secondary positioning of the container to ensure that the container is accurately placed in the groove 11.

[0035] Furthermore, the feed adding device 3 and the soil adding device 4 have the same structure.

[0036] Furthermore, the feed adding device 3 includes at least a storage hopper 31, an elevator 32, and a feeding hopper 33. The storage hopper 31 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 1, and the feeding hopper 33 is connected above the conveyor belt 1. The feeding hopper 33 is higher than the storage hopper 31, and the elevator 32 is connected between the storage hopper 31 and the feeding hopper 33. The elevator 32 adopts a chain conveying structure to lift the material from the storage hopper 31 to the feeding hopper 33. The bottom of the feeding hopper 33 is provided with a tapered discharge port to ensure smooth material outflow. The elevator 32 removes the feed or soil from the storage hopper 31 and pours it into the feeding hopper 33. The feeding hopper 33 then lowers the feed or soil into a container moved to this location.

[0037] Furthermore, a first vibrating feeding mechanism 34 and a second vibrating feeding mechanism 35 are connected in sequence from top to bottom between the feeding hopper 33 and the conveyor belt 1. The second vibrating feeding mechanism is connected to a flipping mechanism at the end away from the container lowering device 2. The first vibrating feeding mechanism 34 is located between the feeding hopper 33 and the conveyor belt 1. A vibrating screen is provided inside the first vibrating feeding mechanism 34. High-frequency vibration is used to initially and evenly distribute the material. Feed or soil passes through the first vibrating feeding mechanism 34, dispersing the overlapping feed. Under the action of gravity and vibration, the feed or soil is arranged into the required quantity. The second vibrating feeding mechanism 35 is located below the first vibrating feeding mechanism 34. The mesh size of the second vibrating feeding mechanism 35 is smaller than that of the first vibrating feeding mechanism 34 to further refine the distribution and ensure a more uniform distribution of the material. The flipping mechanism includes a rotating bar 36 and a partition plate 37. The partition plate 37 divides and places the feed or soil by volume. The rotating bar 36 drives the partition plate 37 to rotate and feed the soil or feed into the container, so that the soil or feed fills the internal space of the container, thereby reducing material waste. Optionally, the first vibration blanking mechanism 34 is parallel to the second vibration blanking mechanism 35 , and the first vibration blanking mechanism 34 is entirely located within the area where the second vibration blanking mechanism 35 is located.

[0038] Furthermore, the spawn and worm addition device 5 includes a spawn and worm container storage box 53, a spawn and worm conveyor track 51, and a spawn and worm feeder 52, which are connected in sequence. The spawn and worm conveyor track 51 is L-shaped, and the spawn and worm feeder 52 is connected above the conveyor belt 1. The spawn and worm container storage box 53 containing the spawn and worms moves along the spawn and worm conveyor track 51 and is fixed by a container fixing member 521. After the container containing feed and soil is moved to this position on the conveyor belt 1, the spawn and worms are poured into the container containing feed and soil via a container flipping member 522.

[0039] Optionally, a temperature and humidity control system is provided inside the spawn or insect container storage box 53 to maintain an active environment for the spawn or insects. The spawn or insect conveying track 51 is an L-shaped structure with a slide rail at the bottom for conveying the container containing the spawn or insects from the storage box to the feeder.

[0040] Furthermore, the spawn and worm body feeder 52 includes a container fixing part 521 and a container flipping part 522, and the container fixing part 521 is connected to the container flipping part 522; the container fixing part 521 is provided with a slot for fixing the spawn and worm body container to prevent tipping over during transportation; the container flipping part 522 is rotatably connected to the end of the spawn and worm body conveying track 51, and its rotation angle is 180 degrees, which is used to flip the container and dump the spawn or worm body into the container on the conveyor belt 1; the end of the container flipping part 522 away from the spawn and worm body conveying track 51 is connected to a container collector, which is provided with a buffer pad inside to recycle empty containers and reduce impact force.

[0041] Furthermore, the packaging and palletizing device 6 includes a capping device 61, a diverter guide rail 62 and a framer 63 connected in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1. In detail, the capping device 61 is located above the conveyor belt 1, and a heat sealing component is provided inside it for sealing the container. The temperature range of the heat sealing component is set to 15°C to 200°C to meet the sealing requirements of containers of different materials; a plurality of branch channels are opened in the diverter guide rail 62, and each channel is provided with a photoelectric switch for diverting the packaged containers to different output paths according to a preset program.

[0042] Furthermore, the stacker 63 includes a lifting column 631 and a gripper 632 connected to the top of the lifting column 631. The lifting column 631 is driven by a servo motor and preferably has a travel range of 0.5 to 2 meters to accommodate palletizing at different heights. The gripper 632 is located above the diversion guide 62 and has a gripper assembly at its end. The gripper assembly is pneumatically driven to open and close, which is used to grab the container and stack it to a designated location for subsequent storage or transportation. In detail, the containers containing feed, soil, and fungus spawn moving along the conveyor belt 1 are sealed by the capping device 61, diverted by the diversion guide 62, and picked up by the gripper 632 of the stacker 63. The lifting column 631 completes the palletizing operation.

[0043] Optionally, the conveyor belt 1 is driven by a stepper motor and uses a photoelectric sensor to detect the container position, thereby controlling the operating timing of each functional device and ensuring precise connection between processes. Specifically, the photoelectric sensor on the conveyor belt 1 detects the container position in real time and transmits the signal to the control system of each functional device, ensuring the precise start and stop time of each process. For example, when the container reaches the feed addition device 3, the photoelectric sensor triggers the elevator 32 to start, and the first vibrating feeding mechanism 34 and the second vibrating feeding mechanism 35 begin to work, completing the uniform delivery of feed. Similarly, when the container reaches the spawn or insect body addition device 5, the spawn or insect body conveying track 51 transports the container containing the spawn or insect body to the feeder, and the spawn or insect body is delivered through the flipping mechanism. Finally, the packaging and stacking device 6 completes the sealing and stacking operations of the container through the heat sealing component and the servo-driven gripper 632.
