[0022] Working principle: The user pours the cleaned white fungus into the processing box 1. As some white fungus enters the processing box 1, it falls onto the top of the two flip plates 12. At this time, the reciprocating motor 32 is started, driving the movable gear 34 to rotate. The rotation of the movable gear 34 drives the limit rod 30 to move backward, which in turn drives the cylinder 29 to move backward. The movement of the cylinder 29 drives the I-beam 28 to move, passing through the groove and causing several cutters 27 to enter the inner cavity of the processing box 1. Then, the cylinder 29 starts, driving the cutters 27 downward via the power output shaft to cut the white fungus. A timer can be used to preset a fixed crushing time. When the time is up, the PLC controller drives the cylinder 29 and the reciprocating motor 32 to reset. After the reset, the movable motor drives the left-side grooved wheel 17 to rotate. The rotation of the left-side grooved wheel 17 drives another grooved wheel 17 to rotate via the cross belt 19. The rotation of both grooved wheels 17 drives two drive gears 18 to rotate. When the 18 rotates, it can drive the toothed plate 16 to move in the opposite direction. When the toothed plate 16 moves, it can drive the slider 21 to move in the opposite direction through the linkage plate 20. When the slider 21 moves, it can drive the flipping plate 12 to flip. When the flipping plate 12 moves, it can limit the flipping trajectory through the crank 15 to achieve a 90-degree flip. The crushed white fungus is poured into the interior of the maturation box 7. When the pouring is completed, the user can use the pull plate 24 to drive the sealing plate 23 to seal the top of the maturation box 7. When the flipping plate 12 flips, it can trigger the limit switch 11 to start the water pump. The water pump pours the clean water in the water tank 4 into the maturation box 7 through the water pipe 3. When the liquid level sensor 35 is activated, the heating tube is activated to boil the white fungus, which quickly and violently breaks the cell wall of the white fungus. At this time, the PLC controller times again for ten minutes. After ten minutes, the stirring motor 6 is activated to drive the stirring blade 25 to rotate. Through physical force, the white fungus cells are further broken and the gelatinous substance is released. When the stirring motor 6 runs for twenty seconds, the PLC controller reduces the temperature of the heating tube and slowly cooks the white fungus for forty minutes.
