Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fungal cultivation technology, specifically to an inoculation device for edible fungi cultivation bottles. Background Technology
[0002] Edible fungi refer to large, edible mushrooms, commonly known as mushrooms. Common edible fungi include shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, button mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, silver ear mushrooms, monkey head mushrooms, bamboo fungus, matsutake mushrooms, button mushrooms, red mushrooms, lingzhi mushrooms, cordyceps, truffles, white lingzhi mushrooms, and porcini mushrooms. Different edible fungi grow in different regions and different ecological environments. When inoculating liquid spawn of edible fungi into cultivation bottles, the general steps are as follows: Step 1: Unscrew the cap of the edible fungus inoculation bottle; Step 2: Insert the inoculation needle into the substrate inside the culture bottle and inject the liquid culture into the substrate; Step 3: Remove the injection needle; Step 4: Screw on the bottle cap; However, all of the above steps are done manually, which results in high labor intensity and low work efficiency for workers.
[0003] Therefore, the present invention provides an inoculation device for edible fungi cultivation bottles to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an inoculation device for edible fungi cultivation bottles, so as to solve the problem that the inoculation steps of edible fungi cultivation bottles are all done manually, resulting in low work efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: An inoculation device for edible fungi cultivation bottles includes an outer shell, a lifting plate, a shaped seat, and a turntable; Outer shell: An electric push cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer shell. The output end of the electric push cylinder moves up and down through the upper side of the outer shell and is fixedly connected to a lifting plate. A transverse support is slidably installed inside the lifting plate. An inoculation needle is fixedly installed inside the transverse support. The side of the inoculation needle is integrally formed with a side block. The transverse support drives the inoculation needle to rotate around the center of the lifting plate. A bacterial culture supply component is installed inside the outer shell. The output end of the bacterial culture supply component is fixedly connected to the inoculation needle. Irregularly shaped seat: The output end of the electric push cylinder moves up and down through the irregularly shaped seat and the lower end supports the irregularly shaped seat upward. There are four connecting mechanisms that slide along the edge inside the irregularly shaped seat. A lifting rod moves through the connecting mechanism. A bottle cap gripper is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting rod, and a friction disc is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting rod. The edge of the irregularly shaped seat includes an inwardly tapered edge, a separating edge, and two arc-shaped edges. An inner friction plate is fixedly connected to one of the arc-shaped edges, and an outer friction frame is fixedly connected to the other arc-shaped edge. The friction disc rolls alternately on the inner friction plate and the outer friction frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the upper center of the irregular-shaped base. An upper transmission rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. Four upper push rods are fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper transmission rod in a circular array. The upper push rods push the connecting mechanism and the side block. A lower push rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the upper transmission rod in a circular array. A lower transmission rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the upper transmission rod. An inner transmission rod moves up and down inside the lower end of the lower transmission rod. A turntable is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner transmission rod. The turntable rotates inside the lower end of the outer shell. The rotation center of the upper transmission rod, the center of the two arc-shaped sides, and the center of the lifting plate are all on the same vertical line; Through the above technical solution, the motor drives the upper transmission rod, upper push rod, lower push rod, lower transmission rod, inner transmission rod and turntable to rotate. When the edible fungus cultivation bottle is placed on the turntable, the turntable and lower push rod work in sync to move the body of the edible fungus cultivation bottle. At the same time, the connecting mechanism, lifting rod and bottle cap gripper move along the edge of the irregular seat to move the bottle cap of the edible fungus cultivation bottle. Thus, the body and bottle cap of the edible fungus cultivation bottle move according to the trajectory, so that the work of opening the bottle cap, removing the bottle cap, inoculating and closing the bottle cap can be performed in this process. Opening operation: When the connecting mechanism moves on one of the arc-shaped edges, the electric push cylinder drives the irregular seat to move downward. The irregular seat drives the connecting mechanism, lifting rod and bottle cap gripper to move downward, so that the bottle cap gripper grabs the bottle cap of the edible fungus cultivation bottle. The electric push cylinder drives the irregular seat to move upward. The irregular seat drives the connecting mechanism, lifting rod and bottle cap gripper to move upward. At the same time, the friction plate rolls on the inner friction plate or outer friction frame, so that the bottle cap can move upward and rotate synchronously, thus opening the bottle cap. The process of removing the bottle cap: The turntable and the lower push rod work in sync to move the body of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle. At the same time, the connecting mechanism, the lifting rod and the bottle cap gripper move the bottle cap to the separation edge, so that the bottle body and the bottle cap are separated. Inoculation process: During the bottle cap removal process, the electric push cylinder drives the lifting plate to move up and down. The lifting plate moves the inoculation needle up and down through the horizontal sliding bracket. When moving downward, the inoculation needle can be inserted into the edible fungus cultivation bottle for inoculation. At the same time, the upper push rod pushes the side block to rotate the inoculation needle around the center of the lifting plate, allowing the inoculation needle to move with the edible fungus cultivation bottle. This ensures continuous injection of liquid inoculum while transporting the edible fungus cultivation bottle, thus improving the continuity of inoculation and transportation and increasing production efficiency. When moving upward, the inoculation needle can be pulled out of the edible fungus cultivation bottle. At the same time, the upper push rod moves away from the side block, thus separating the inoculation needle from the edible fungus cultivation bottle and the upper push rod from the inoculation needle, completing the reset function. The process of capping the bottle: The turntable and the lower push rod work in sync to move the body of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle. At the same time, the connecting mechanism, the lifting rod, and the cap gripper move the cap to another curved edge, so that the bottle body and the cap are aligned vertically. Then, the electric push rod moves the irregular seat downward, and the connecting mechanism, the lifting rod, and the cap gripper move the cap downward, so that the cap is placed on the bottle body. At the same time, the friction plate rolls on the outer friction plate or the inner friction frame, so that the cap moves downward and rotates synchronously, thus screwing the cap on. Furthermore, the output end of the electric push cylinder is fixed to the lifting plate, and the output end of the electric push cylinder moves up and down through the irregular seat and supports the irregular seat upwards. This makes the downward movement of the irregular seat less than the downward movement of the lifting plate. The irregular seat drives the bottle cap gripper to move down, and the lifting plate drives the inoculation needle to move down. This makes the downward movement of the inoculation needle greater than the downward movement of the bottle cap gripper. This means that the bottle cap gripper only needs to reach the height of the mouth of the cultivation bottle to grab the bottle cap, while the inoculation needle can penetrate deeper into the cultivation bottle for inoculation.
[0006] Preferably, the inoculum supply assembly includes an inoculum tank, a peristaltic pump, and a hose. The inoculum tank and the peristaltic pump are both fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer shell. The lower end of the inoculum tank is connected to the inlet end of the peristaltic pump. The outlet end of the peristaltic pump is fixedly connected to a hose, and the other end of the hose is fixedly connected to an inoculation needle. Through the above technical solution, the peristaltic pump draws out the inoculum from the inoculum tank and delivers it into the tubing, and finally into the inoculation needle tube to supply the inoculum into the inoculation needle tube.
[0007] Preferably, the transverse support includes an arc-shaped rod, a support plate, and a third spring. An arc-shaped hole is provided in the lifting plate, and two arc-shaped rods are fixedly connected in the arc-shaped hole. The centers of the two arc-shaped rods and the center of the lifting plate are on the same vertical line. The support plate is movably sleeved between the two arc-shaped rods. A third spring is fixedly connected between the support plate and the end of the arc-shaped hole. The arc-shaped rod is located in the third spring. The inoculation needle tube is fixedly passed through the support plate. With the above technical solution, when the upper push rod pushes the injection needle tube, the injection needle tube drives the support plate to rotate, and the third spring is compressed. When the upper push rod leaves the injection needle tube, the third spring pushes the support plate back in the opposite direction, so that the injection needle tube returns to its original position. That is, the transverse support bracket supports the injection needle tube, restricts the movement trajectory of the injection needle tube, and drives the injection needle tube to reset.
[0008] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes an inner slide, an inner tension spring, an inner insert rod, a support wheel, and an outer slide. The inner slide slides within the edge of the irregular seat. The lower end of the inner slide has a support wheel that rotates via a pivot. The support wheel rolls within the edge of the inner slide. The side of the inner slide has an inner slot, and an inner tension spring is fixedly connected within the inner slot. The side of the outer slide has an inner insert rod integrally formed. The inner insert rod is movably inserted into the inner slot and fixedly connected to the other end of the inner tension spring. A lifting rod moves through the outer slide. A push block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer slide block, and the upper push rod pushes the push block to move the outer slide block and the inner slide block. Through the above technical solution, the upper push rod pushes the push block to move the outer slide and the inner slide, so that the outer slide and the inner slide move along the edge of the irregular seat. The inner insertion rod moves through the inner slot and is fixedly connected to the inner tension spring, so that the outer slide and the inner slide tend to move closer to each other and further away from each other. When passing through the bends of the arc edge, the separation edge and the inward edge, the outer slide can still be kept close to the edge of the irregular seat. Furthermore, the outer slide, the lifting rod and the friction plate tend to move closer to the inner friction plate and the outer friction frame, ensuring that the friction plate is in stable contact with the inner friction plate and the outer friction frame.
[0009] Preferably, the bottle cap gripper includes a gripper base, a support rod, a first spring, and an arc-shaped rotating plate. The upper center of the gripper base is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting rod. The support rod is fixedly connected to the side of the gripper base in a circular array. The arc-shaped rotating plate is rotatably connected to the lower end of the support rod through a rotating shaft. The first spring is fixedly connected between the arc-shaped rotating plate and the upper end of the support rod. With the above technical solution, when the entire bottle cap gripper moves down, the bottle cap pushes the arc-shaped rotating plate to rotate vertically, the first spring is compressed, so that a ring of arc-shaped rotating plates is fitted around the bottle cap, and the pointed conical end of the arc-shaped rotating plate is engaged between the serrations of the bottle cap. When the lifting rod drives the gripper seat to rotate, the gripper seat drives the support rod to rotate laterally, the support rod drives the arc-shaped rotating plate to rotate laterally, and the arc-shaped rotating plate drives the bottle cap to rotate laterally, which is used to open or close the bottle cap.
[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the upper transmission rod is fixedly connected to the lower transmission rod and the lower push rod by a snap-fit assembly; The snap-fit assembly includes a nut, a connecting plate, a screw, and a connecting disc. The lower end of the screw is threaded through the upper and lower transmission rods, and the upper end of the screw is threaded through the connecting plate and the nut. The nut presses down against the connecting plate, and the other end of the connecting plate presses down against the connecting disc. The connecting disc rotates and fits around the lower end of the upper transmission rod, so that the connecting disc is clamped between the connecting plate and the upper transmission rod. A lower push rod is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting disc in a circular array. Through the above technical solution, the upper transmission rod drives the lower transmission rod to rotate through the screw, and the lower transmission rod and the upper transmission rod drive the connecting plate to rotate through the screw, the connecting plate drives the connecting disc to rotate, and the connecting disc drives the lower push rod to rotate, so that the upper push rod and the lower push rod rotate synchronously, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the upper transmission rod, the lower transmission rod and the lower push rod in a fixed connection. Rotating the nut will release the connecting plate, allowing the connecting disc to rotate freely. The connecting disc will drive the lower push rod to rotate, thus adjusting the angle between the upper and lower push rods. After adjustment, simply rotate the nut back in the opposite direction to achieve the purpose of adjusting the angle between the upper and lower push rods.
[0011] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer shell, so that a channel is formed between the base and the side wall of the outer shell, and friction-reducing wheels are rotatably mounted on the side of the base and the outer shell that are close to each other via a rotating shaft. Through the above technical solution, the channel between the base and the side wall of the outer shell can restrict the displacement trajectory of the edible fungus cultivation bottle, and the friction-reducing wheel can reduce the friction on the edible fungus cultivation bottle.
[0012] Preferably, the friction disc has a spring mounting ring rotatably mounted on the inner side of its lower side and the outer slide block on its upper side, and a second spring is fixedly connected between the two spring mounting rings. Through the above technical solution, the third spring allows the lifting rod to have a certain lifting range and drives the lifting rod to reset after it moves up and down. However, both the lifting rod and the friction disc need to rotate. If the third spring is directly fixed between the lifting rod and the friction disc, it will be damaged. Therefore, setting the spring mounting ring to rotate relative to the friction disc and the outer slide can avoid damaging the third spring.
[0013] Preferably, the middle part of the outer friction frame is arc-shaped and the center of the arc and the center of the arc side are on the same vertical line. A first extension and a second extension are integrally formed at both ends of the outer friction frame, and both the first extension and the second extension extend outward. With the above technical solution, even if the positions of the friction disc and the lifting rod are somewhat deviated from the center of the outer friction frame, the first extension and the second extension can still guide the friction disc and the lifting rod into the center of the outer friction frame.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When the edible mushroom cultivation bottle is placed on the turntable, it can move the bottle body. At the same time, the connecting mechanism, lifting rod and bottle cap gripper move along the edge of the irregular seat, thereby moving the bottle cap of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle. The bottle body and bottle cap of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle move along the trajectory, so that the work of opening the bottle cap, removing the bottle cap, inoculating and closing the bottle cap can be carried out in this process. Opening operation: When the connecting mechanism moves on one of the arc-shaped edges, the electric push cylinder drives the irregular seat to move downward. The irregular seat drives the connecting mechanism, lifting rod and bottle cap gripper to move downward, so that the bottle cap gripper grabs the bottle cap of the edible fungus cultivation bottle. The electric push cylinder drives the irregular seat to move upward. The irregular seat drives the connecting mechanism, lifting rod and bottle cap gripper to move upward. At the same time, the friction plate rolls on the inner friction plate or outer friction frame, so that the bottle cap can move upward and rotate synchronously, thus opening the bottle cap. The process of removing the bottle cap: The turntable and the lower push rod work in sync to move the body of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle. At the same time, the connecting mechanism, the lifting rod and the bottle cap gripper move the bottle cap to the separation edge, so that the bottle body and the bottle cap are separated. Inoculation process: During the bottle cap removal process, the electric push cylinder drives the lifting plate to move up and down. The lifting plate moves the inoculation needle up and down through the horizontal sliding bracket. When moving downward, the inoculation needle can be inserted into the edible fungus cultivation bottle for inoculation. At the same time, the upper push rod pushes the side block to rotate the inoculation needle around the center of the lifting plate, allowing the inoculation needle to move with the edible fungus cultivation bottle. This ensures continuous injection of liquid inoculum while transporting the edible fungus cultivation bottle, thus improving the continuity of inoculation and transportation and increasing production efficiency. When moving upward, the inoculation needle can be pulled out of the edible fungus cultivation bottle. At the same time, the upper push rod moves away from the side block, thus separating the inoculation needle from the edible fungus cultivation bottle and the upper push rod from the inoculation needle, completing the reset function. The process of capping the bottle: The turntable and the lower push rod work in sync to move the body of the edible mushroom cultivation bottle. At the same time, the connecting mechanism, the lifting rod, and the cap gripper move the cap to another curved edge, so that the bottle body and the cap are aligned vertically. Then, the electric push rod moves the irregular seat downward, and the connecting mechanism, the lifting rod, and the cap gripper move the cap downward, so that the cap is placed on the bottle body. At the same time, the friction plate rolls on the outer friction plate or the inner friction frame, so that the cap moves downward and rotates synchronously, thus screwing the cap on. The output end of the electric push cylinder is fixed to the lifting plate. The output end of the electric push cylinder moves up and down through the irregular seat and the lower end supports the irregular seat upward. This makes the downward movement of the irregular seat less than the downward movement of the lifting plate. The irregular seat drives the bottle cap gripper to move down, and the lifting plate drives the inoculation needle to move down. This makes the downward movement of the inoculation needle greater than the downward movement of the bottle cap gripper. This means that the bottle cap gripper only needs to reach the height of the mouth of the cultivation bottle to grab the bottle cap, while the inoculation needle can penetrate deeper into the cultivation bottle for inoculation.
[0015] In summary, this device can replace manual labor in opening, removing, inserting, and closing the caps of edible mushroom cultivation bottles. The entire process does not affect the movement of the cultivation bottles, ensuring smooth operation. Furthermore, the inoculum is injected evenly from top to bottom into the bottle during inoculation, resulting in uniform injection. Therefore, this device has a high degree of automation and high work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following will refer to the attached reference. Figures 1 to 14 The various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] As attached Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 14 As shown, an inoculation device for edible fungi cultivation bottles includes a shell 3, a lifting plate 12, an irregularly shaped seat 17, and a turntable 4. See appendix Figure 1 A base 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer casing 3, forming a channel between the base 6 and the side wall of the outer casing 3, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 12 As shown, the channel is U-shaped, and friction-reducing wheels 7 are rotatable through a rotating shaft on the side where the base 6 and the outer shell 3 are close to each other. Outer shell 3: See appendix Figure 1 A controller 36 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer casing 3. The input terminal of the controller 36 is electrically connected to the output terminal of an external power supply. (See attached diagram.) Figure 4 and attached Figure 7An electric push cylinder 2 is fixedly connected inside the upper end of the outer shell 3. The input end of the electric push cylinder 2 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 36. The output end of the electric push cylinder 2 moves up and down through the upper side of the outer shell 3 and is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 12, which drives the lifting plate 12 to move up and down. See appendix Figure 5 Appendix Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 A transverse support 26 is slidably installed inside the lifting plate 12. An inoculation needle tube 19 is fixedly installed inside the transverse support 26. A side block 20 is integrally formed on the side of the inoculation needle tube 19. The transverse support 26 drives the inoculation needle tube 19 to rotate around the center of the lifting plate 12. A spawn supply component 1 is installed inside the outer shell 3. The output end of the spawn supply component 1 is fixedly connected to the inoculation needle tube 19. When the inoculation needle tube 19 is inserted into the edible fungus cultivation bottle, liquid spawn is injected for cultivation. See appendix Figure 5 The inoculation needle 19 moves through a bottle mouth contact plate 35, which rests on the side block 20. A needle follower plate 34 is fixedly inserted through the inoculation needle 19, located directly above the bottle mouth contact plate 35. A trigger switch 33 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the needle follower plate 34, and electrically connected to the controller 36. When there is no culture bottle below the inoculation needle 19, the bottle mouth contact plate 35 will not move upwards towards the needle follower plate 34, and the trigger switch 33 will not generate an electrical signal. The controller 36 does not control the bacterial culture supply component 1 to supply bacterial culture to the inoculation needle tube 19, that is, it will not perform inoculation. Only when there is a culture bottle below the inoculation needle tube 19, the culture bottle pushes upward against the bottle mouth contact plate 35, the bottle mouth contact plate 35 moves upward towards the needle tube following plate 34, and the trigger switch 33 is pressed. The trigger switch 33 generates an electrical signal, and the controller 36 controls the bacterial culture supply component 1 to supply bacterial culture to the inoculation needle tube 19. That is, inoculation is performed only when there is a culture bottle, thus realizing the function of automatic identification. Shaped seat 17: The output end of the electric push cylinder 2 moves up and down through the shaped seat 17 and the lower end supports the shaped seat 17 upward. There are four connecting mechanisms 11 sliding along the edge inside the shaped seat 17. A lifting rod 23 is inserted into the connecting mechanism 11. The lower end of the lifting rod 23 is fixedly connected to a bottle cap gripper 9. The upper end of the lifting rod 23 is fixedly connected to a friction disc 16. The edge of the shaped seat 17 includes an inner tapered edge 27, a separating edge 31 and two arc-shaped edges 30. An inner friction plate 15 is fixedly connected to one of the arc-shaped edges 30, and an outer friction frame 18 is fixedly connected to the other arc-shaped edge 30. The middle part of the outer friction frame 18 is arc-shaped and the center of the arc is on the same vertical line as the center of the arc-shaped edge 30. A first extension 28 and a second extension 29 are integrally formed at both ends of the outer friction frame 18. Both the first extension 28 and the second extension 29 extend outward. The friction disc 16 rolls alternately on the inner friction plate 15 and the outer friction frame 18. A motor 21 is fixedly connected to the upper center of the irregular-shaped base 17. The input end of the motor 21 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 36. The output end of the motor 21 is fixedly connected to the upper transmission rod 13. Four upper push rods 10 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper transmission rod 13 in a circular array. The upper push rods 10 push the connecting mechanism 11 and the side block 20. The lower end of the upper transmission rod 13 is fixedly connected to the lower push rod 8 in a circular array. The lower end of the upper transmission rod 13 is fixedly connected to the lower transmission rod 5. An inner transmission rod 22 moves up and down inside the lower end of the lower transmission rod 5. A turntable 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner transmission rod 22. The turntable 4 rotates inside the lower end of the outer shell 3. The rotation center of the upper transmission rod 13, the center of the two arc-shaped edges 30, and the center of the lifting plate 12 are all on the same vertical line.
[0033] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix. Figure 5 The inoculum supply component 1 includes an inoculum tank 101, a peristaltic pump 102, and a hose 103. The inoculum tank 101 and the peristaltic pump 102 are both fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer shell 3. The upper end of the inoculum tank 101 is provided with an inlet and the inlet is sealed with a screw cap. Opening the cap opens the inlet for delivering inoculum into the inoculum tank 101. The lower end of the inoculum tank 101 passes through the upper side of the outer shell 3 and is connected to the inlet end of the peristaltic pump 102. The input end of the peristaltic pump 102 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 36. The outlet end of the peristaltic pump 102 is fixedly connected to the hose 103, and the other end of the hose 103 is fixedly connected to the inoculation needle 19. The working mode of the inoculum supply component 1 is as follows: the controller 36 controls the peristaltic pump 102 to work, the peristaltic pump 102 draws out the inoculum in the inoculum tank 101 and delivers the inoculum into the tubing 103, and finally supplies it into the inoculation needle tube 19.
[0034] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix. Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 The transverse support 26 includes an arc-shaped rod 2601, a support plate 2602, and a third spring 2603. An arc-shaped hole is provided in the lifting plate 12, and two arc-shaped rods 2601 are fixedly connected in the arc-shaped hole. The center of the two arc-shaped rods 2601, the center of the arc-shaped hole, and the center of the lifting plate 12 are all on the same vertical line. The support plate 2602 is movably sleeved between the two arc-shaped rods 2601, that is, the support plate 2602 revolves around the center of the lifting plate 12. A third spring 2603 is fixedly connected between the support plate 2602 and the end of the arc-shaped hole. The arc-shaped rod 2601 is located in the third spring 2603. The inoculation needle tube 19 is fixedly passed through the support plate 2602, and the inoculation needle tube 19 revolves around the center of the lifting plate 12. The working principle of the transverse support 26 is as follows: the upper push rod 10 pushes the inoculation needle 19 according to the attached... Figure 8When the inoculation needle tube 19 moves clockwise from the perspective shown, the support plate 2602 rotates, and the third spring 2603 is compressed. When the upper push rod 10 leaves the inoculation needle tube 19, the third spring 2603 pushes the support plate 2602 back in the opposite direction, so that the inoculation needle tube 19 returns to its original position.
[0035] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix. Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 The connecting mechanism 11 includes an inner slide 1101, an inner tension spring 1102, an inner insert rod 1103, a support wheel 1104, and an outer slide 1105. The inner slide 1101 slides within the edge of the irregular seat 17. The support wheel 1104 rotates within the lower end of the inner slide 1101 via a pivot. The support wheel 1104 rolls within the edge of the inner slide 1104 to reduce friction. An inner slot is provided on the side of the inner slide 1101, and the inner tension spring 1102 is fixedly connected within the inner slot. The outer slide... The side of 1105 is integrally formed with an inner insert rod 1103. The inner insert rod 1103 is movably inserted into the inner slot and fixedly connected to the other end of the inner tension spring 1102. The outer slide 1105 has a lifting rod 23 that moves through it, that is, the lifting rod 23 moves up and down and rotates through the outer slide 1105. The lower inner side of the friction disc 16 and the upper inner side of the outer slide 1105 both have a spring mounting ring 32 that rotates. A second spring 24 is fixedly connected between the upper and lower spring mounting rings 32. A push block 25 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer slide block 1105. The height of the push block 25 is equal to the height of the upper push rod 10. The upper push rod 10 pushes the push block 25 to move the outer slide block 1105 and the inner slide block 1101. The working principle of the connecting mechanism 11 is as follows: the upper push rod 10 pushes the push block 25 to move the outer slide 1105 and the inner slide 1101, so that the outer slide 1105 and the inner slide 1101 move along the edge of the irregular seat 17, and the inner insertion rod 1103 moves through the inner slot and is fixedly connected to the inner tension spring 1102, so that the outer slide 1105 and the inner slide 1101 tend to move closer to each other and further away from each other. When passing through the bend of the arc edge 30, the separation edge 31 and the inward shrinking edge 27, the outer slide 1105 can still be kept close to the edge of the irregular seat 17, and the outer slide 1105, the lifting rod 23 and the friction plate 16 tend to move closer to the inner friction plate 15 and the outer friction frame 18, so as to ensure that the friction plate 16 is in stable contact with the inner friction plate 15 and the outer friction frame 18.
[0036] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2The bottle cap gripper 9 includes a gripper base 901, a support rod 902, a first spring 903, and an arc-shaped rotating plate 904. The upper center of the gripper base 901 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting rod 23. The support rod 902 is fixedly connected to the side of the gripper base 901 in a circular array. The lower end of the support rod 902 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped rotating plate 904 through a rotating shaft. The sides of the arc-shaped rotating plates 904 that are close to each other are all set as pointed cones, which can be inserted between the serrations of the bottle cap. When the arc-shaped rotating plate 904 rotates radially, it grips the serrations of the bottle cap and rotates them. The first spring 903 is fixedly connected between the upper end of the arc-shaped rotating plate 904 and the support rod 902. The bottle cap gripper 9 works as follows: When the entire bottle cap gripper 9 moves downward, the bottle cap pushes the arc-shaped rotating plate 904 to rotate vertically, and the first spring 903 is compressed, so that a ring of arc-shaped rotating plate 904 is fitted around the bottle cap. The pointed conical end of the arc-shaped rotating plate 904 is engaged between the serrations of the bottle cap. When the lifting rod 23 drives the gripper seat 901 to rotate, the gripper seat 901 drives the support rod 902 to rotate laterally. The support rod 902 drives the arc-shaped rotating plate 904 to rotate laterally, and the arc-shaped rotating plate 904 drives the bottle cap to rotate laterally, which is used to open or close the bottle cap.
[0037] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix. Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 The lower end of the upper transmission rod 13 is detachably and fixedly connected to the lower transmission rod 5 and the lower push rod 8 via the snap-fit assembly 14; The snap-fit assembly 14 includes a nut 1401, a connecting plate 1402, a screw 1403, and a connecting disc 1404. The lower end of the screw 1403 is threaded through the upper transmission rod 13 and the lower transmission rod 5, and the upper end of the screw 1403 is threaded through the connecting plate 1402 and the nut 1401. The nut 1401 presses down against the connecting plate 1402, and the other end of the connecting plate 1402 presses down against the connecting disc 1404. The connecting disc 1404 is rotatably sleeved on the lower end of the upper transmission rod 13, so that the connecting disc 1404 is clamped between the connecting plate 1402 and the lower end of the upper transmission rod 13. The side of the connecting disc 1404 is fixedly connected with a lower push rod 8 in a circular array. The working method of the snap-fit assembly 14 is as follows: the upper transmission rod 13 drives the lower transmission rod 5 to rotate through the screw 1403. The lower transmission rod 5 and the upper transmission rod 13 drive the connecting plate 1402 to rotate through the screw 1403. The connecting plate 1402 drives the connecting disk 1404 to rotate. The connecting disk 1404 drives the lower push rod 8 to rotate, so that the upper push rod 10 and the lower push rod 8 rotate synchronously. Rotating nut 1401 releases connecting plate 1402, allowing connecting disc 1404 to rotate freely. Connecting disc 1404 drives lower push rod 8 to rotate, thus adjusting upper push rod 10 and lower push rod 8 as shown in the attached figure. Figure 10 and attached Figure 12 The included angle is shown. After adjustment, simply turn nut 1401 back in the opposite direction. The purpose of adjusting the angle between the upper push rod 10 and the lower push rod 8 is as follows: (See Appendix) Figure 14 Different types of edible mushroom cultivation bottles have different sizes and shapes, so the distance between the bottle wall and the bottle cap will be different. If the angle between the upper push rod 10 and the lower push rod 8 is not adjusted, the upper push rod 10, the connecting mechanism 11 and the bottle cap gripper 9 will not be able to reach the top of the bottle cap when the lower push rod 8 pushes the bottle body. Therefore, after adjusting the angle between the upper push rod 10 and the lower push rod 8, the angle between the upper push rod 10 and the lower push rod 8 can be adapted to the distance between the bottle wall and the bottle cap.
[0038] The working principle of this device is as follows: Operator controller 36 to power electric push cylinder 2 and motor 21; Motor 21 drives the upper transmission rod 13 to rotate, the upper transmission rod 13 drives the upper push rod 10 to rotate, the upper push rod 10 pushes the connecting mechanism 11 to move along the edge of the irregular seat 17 by pushing the push block 25, the upper transmission rod 13 drives the snap-fit assembly 14, the lower push rod 8 and the lower transmission rod 5 to rotate, the lower transmission rod 5 drives the inner transmission rod 22 to rotate, and the inner transmission rod 22 drives the turntable 4 to rotate; The electric push cylinder 2 drives the lifting plate 12 and the irregular seat 17 to move up and down. The lifting plate 12 drives the inoculation needle tube 19 to move up and down. The irregular seat 17 drives the motor 21, the connecting mechanism 11, the lifting rod 23 and the bottle cap gripper 9 to move up and down. During operation, place the edible fungus cultivation bottle into one end of the channel between the outer shell 3 and the base 6. After the lower push rod 8 touches the edible fungus cultivation bottle, place it on the turntable 4 to achieve the purpose of positioning. The turntable 4 drives the edible fungus cultivation bottle to rotate, while the lower push rod 8 assists in pushing the edible fungus cultivation bottle and accurately positioning the position of the edible fungus cultivation bottle. When the connecting mechanism 11 moves on one of the arc edges 30, the bottle cap gripper 9 moves downward to grab the bottle cap of the edible fungus cultivation bottle, and the friction plate 16 rotates on the outer friction frame 18. The friction plate 16 drives the lifting rod 23 and the bottle cap gripper 9 to rotate, thereby driving the bottle cap to rotate. The bottle cap is rotated upward, so that the bottle cap separates from the bottle body. When the connecting mechanism 11 moves on the separating edge 31, the bottle cap moves away from the top of the bottle body, leaving the top of the bottle body unobstructed. The inoculation needle 19 moves downward and is inserted into the bottle body. At the same time, the upper push rod 10 pushes the side block 20 to push the inoculation needle 19. The inoculation needle 19 moves with the bottle body. During the following process, the inoculum supply component 1 supplies inoculum into the inoculation needle 19. The inoculum is injected into the bottle body. At the same time, the inoculation needle 19 moves upward. The inoculum is injected into the bottle body in a layered manner from top to bottom, rather than being injected in a cluster. Finally, the inoculation needle 19 moves completely upward, the side block 20 moves away from the upper push rod 10, so that the inoculation needle 19 loses its pushing force. The transverse support 26 drives the inoculation needle 19 to rotate back to its original position, waiting for the next inoculation task. When the connecting mechanism 11 moves on the other arc edge 30, the bottle cap is once again above the bottle body, the bottle cap gripper 9 moves down, and the friction disc 16 rotates on the inner friction plate 15 in the opposite direction to when it rotates on the outer friction frame 18, causing the bottle cap on the bottle cap gripper 9 to rotate in the opposite direction and move down, so as to screw the bottle cap back onto the bottle body. Remove the edible mushroom cultivation bottle from the other end of the channel between the outer shell 3 and the base 6.
