[0002] At present, the traditional cultivation mode of edible fungi (such as shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and black fungus) is to manually or automatically load the culture medium into sticks, then neatly stack the sticks on the transfer rack, and then move them to the autoclave for sterilization by forklifts and other equipment. After sterilization, they are moved out and cooled in the cooling room, and finally the sticks are inoculated. Each link of this production model is independent of each other, and the process connection needs to be completed by manual labor and transportation machinery and equipment. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with high labor costs, and the required workshop occupies a large area. There is a high probability of errors during the process connection, which ultimately affects the yield of the sticks. Utility Model Content

[0024] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0025] As shown in the figure, an edible mushroom stick production line includes a mixer 1, a first sterilization bin 3, a second sterilization bin 4, a microwave generator 9 and a discharge cooling bin 5. The first sterilization bin 3, the second sterilization bin 4 and the discharge cooling bin 5 are closed. A first feeder 2 is connected between the discharge port of the mixer 1 and the feed port of the first sterilization bin 3, and the upper end of the first feeder 2 is located above the feed port at the front end of the first sterilization bin. The second sterilization bin 4 is connected to the rear end of the first sterilization bin 3, and the discharge cooling bin 5 is connected to the rear end of the second sterilization bin 4. The first sterilization bin 3, the second sterilization bin 4 and the discharge cooling bin 5 are closed. The cooling bins 5 are all tilted, and a steam injection port 11 is provided at the front of the first sterilization bin 3 for connecting a steam generator to inject high-temperature steam. A plurality of microwave generators 9 are evenly arranged on the first sterilization bin 3 and the second sterilization bin 4, and the microwave generator 9 on the first sterilization bin 3 is located behind the steam injection port 11. A spiral transmission assembly is provided in the first sterilization bin 3, the second sterilization bin 4 and the discharging cooling bin 5. The rear end of the discharging cooling bin 5 is located in the sterile room, and a bagging machine is provided at the rear end of the discharging cooling bin 5 in the sterile room. The inoculation of the bacterial sticks is completed and bagged in the sterile room. In this embodiment, the culture medium is added to the mixer 1 for stirring and mixing, and then output to the first sterilization bin 3 through the first feeder 2. At this time, steam is injected into the first sterilization bin 3 through the steam injection port 11 to heat the culture medium. The culture medium is output backward through the spiral transmission component in the first sterilization bin 3. During the output process, the microwave generator 9 is sequentially started to sterilize the culture medium. The culture medium is first heated to a high temperature state, and then sterilized by the microwave generator 9. The sterilization effect is better. After the first-level sterilization in the first sterilization bin 3, the culture medium is moved to the second sterilization bin 4, and continues to be output backward through the spiral transmission component in the second sterilization bin 4. At the same time, during the output process, the microwave generator 9 on the second sterilization bin 4 is used for secondary sterilization, and finally moved to the discharging cooling bin 5, and continues to be output backward through the spiral transmission component in the discharging cooling bin 5, and is cooled during the output process. In this embodiment, the spiral transmission component is a conventional technical means that can be mastered by those skilled in the art, such as driving the spiral blades to rotate by a motor to output the material. Therefore, the structure of the spiral transmission component and its specific installation structure are not repeated here.Since sterilization is carried out directly during the output process of the culture medium, in order to make the sterilization thorough, a two-stage sterilization chamber is set to increase the sterilization time during the output process of the culture medium. In addition, the two sterilization chambers are connected end to end instead of directly using a longer sterilization chamber. This design avoids the use of a longer rotating shaft, which is easy to generate a large drooping force during the output process and affects its lifespan with long-term use; the two sterilization chambers are set to an inclined structure, and the culture medium is output in the sterilization chamber through the spiral transmission component, and combined with the factor of the culture medium's own weight, a stirring effect is achieved, making the sterilization more uniform and thorough; the discharge cooling chamber 5 is set to an inclined structure, and during the output process of the culture medium, excess water in the culture medium will seep out downward along the discharge cooling chamber 5 under the action of its own gravity, which can also achieve the effect of enhancing the cooling effect. In the present embodiment, the first sterilization bin 3, the second sterilization bin 4 and the discharge cooling bin 5 are all tubular structures with closed ends, and only the corresponding feed port and discharge port are opened on the first sterilization bin 3, the second sterilization bin 4 and the discharge cooling bin 5. The discharge port of the first sterilization bin 3, the feed port and the discharge port of the second sterilization bin 4, and the feed port of the discharge cooling bin 5 are also closed and connected, that is, a closed setting of the connection structure between the first sterilization bin 3, the second sterilization bin 4 and the discharge cooling bin 5 is formed.

[0026] The first sterilization bin 3, the second sterilization bin 4 and the discharging cooling bin 5 are all arranged to be inclined upward along the material discharging direction.

[0027] The inclination angles of the first sterilization chamber 3 and the second sterilization chamber 4 are 4-5°.

[0028] The inclination angle of the discharging cooling bin 5 is 5-10°.

[0029] A cooling jacket is provided on the periphery of the discharge cooling bin 5, and a water inlet and a water outlet are provided on the cooling jacket. In this embodiment, the cooling jacket is used to be filled with cooling water, and when the sterilized culture medium is output to the discharge cooling bin 5, cooling water of a certain temperature is quickly filled into the cooling jacket to cool the material.

[0030] A first drop hopper 7 is provided downward at the discharge port at the upper end of the first loader 2, and the bottom end of the first drop hopper 7 is connected to the feed port of the first-stage sterilization bin, for collecting and dropping the culture medium delivered by the first loader 2 so that it falls completely into the first sterilization bin 3, thereby preventing the culture medium from being scattered outside the first sterilization bin 3 during the dropping process and reducing the influence of the external environment on the culture medium.

[0031] The discharge port at the rear end of the first sterilization bin 3 is located above the feed port at the front end of the second sterilization bin 4, and the discharge port at the rear end of the first sterilization bin 3 and the feed port at the front end of the second sterilization bin 4 are connected through the second drop hopper 8. The material that undergoes primary sterilization in the first sterilization bin 3 falls from the corresponding discharge port and falls into the second sterilization bin 4 through the second drop hopper 8.

[0032] The discharge port at the rear end of the second sterilization bin 4 is located above the feed port at the front end of the discharge cooling bin 5, and the discharge port at the rear end of the second sterilization bin 4 and the feed port at the front end of the discharge cooling bin 5 are connected through the third drop hopper 10. The material subjected to secondary sterilization in the second sterilization bin 4 falls from the corresponding discharge port and falls into the discharge cooling bin 5 through the third drop hopper 10.

[0033] There are two mixers 1 , and the two mixers 1 are connected via a second feeder 6 .

[0034] In this embodiment, a first drop hopper 7, a second drop hopper 8 and a third drop hopper 10 are provided so that the culture medium is dropped into the next device through the drop hoppers, which also plays a certain stirring role, while also ensuring the closedness of the connection structure between the first sterilization bin 3, the second sterilization bin 4 and the discharge cooling bin 5.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
