Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of edible and medicinal fungus culture medium preparation, in particular to a culture medium material basin dividing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Cordyceps flower, also known as northern cordyceps and cordyceps militaris, has certain similarities in ingredients with Cordyceps sinensis. Cordyceps flower is listed as one of the three major tonics in China along with ginseng and deer antler. In addition, as a precious edible and medicinal fungus, the optimization of its production process has always been a hot topic in industry research against the background of the rapid development of modern agricultural science and technology.

[0003] The production process of cordyceps flower includes the preparation of cultivated species → preparation of culture medium → sterilization and inoculation → shelf spawning → grass management → harvesting → storage. In the prior art, the production and preparation process of cordyceps flower culture medium is mainly based on the combination of manual labor and labor tools, and the cordyceps flower culture medium needs to be completed in a specific culture medium material basin during production and preparation, but the culture medium material basins are stacked together for storage, and the prior art still mainly relies on manual labor to separate the stacked culture medium material basins one by one, which further increases the labor intensity of workers. Taking the 330mm×330mm×108mm plastic basins commonly used in production for holding culture medium materials as an example, each standard factory building has a single batch production capacity of 100,000 basins. At present, the assembly line operation mode is adopted with 4 people in each group. 800 to 1,000 basins need to be separated manually per hour. If a device for automatically separating culture medium material basins can be developed, it will undoubtedly greatly improve production efficiency.

[0004] A Chinese invention patent with authorization announcement number CN108373966B discloses a culture medium filling device and an operating method, but the device is mainly used for separating vessels of environmental microorganisms. The device uses a feed lifting mechanism, a clamping mechanism and other mechanisms to complete the separation and transfer of the material box. In addition, the device also targets a box cover. The holes of the upper and lower perforated plates of the device's trolley are both stepped holes. When the material box descends from the trolley, the box cover is restricted in the channel of the upper perforated plate, and the box body is restricted in the channel of the lower perforated plate, thereby realizing the separation of the box body and the box cover. The Cordyceps flower culture medium material basin is made of plastic material. If it is transferred using a clamping mechanism, once the clamping force is not well controlled, it is easy to damage the basin body. In addition, the Cordyceps flower culture medium basin does not have a box cover structure, and the box body needs to be sealed by a covering film after the subsequent material injection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model comprises a basin frame 1, a basin subassembly 3 and a suction cup assembly 5, wherein Figure 1As shown, the basin subassembly 3 is arranged at the output end of the basin frame 1, and as shown in Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the basin-dividing assembly 3 includes a basin-dividing cylinder 301 and a first blade plate 303 and a transmission plate 304 staggered along the circumferential direction of the output end of the basin frame 1, wherein the first blade plate 303 includes a blade plate body 3032 and a blade plate side rod 3031 arranged on one side of the blade plate body 3032, and the ends of the blade plate body 3032 and the ends of the blade plate side rod 3031 are respectively hinged to the ends of the transmission plates 304 on the corresponding sides, and any transmission plate 304 is driven to swing by the basin-dividing cylinder 301, and each first blade plate 303 is provided with a second blade plate 305, wherein when each transmission plate 304 is in Figure 3 When the position is shown, the second blade 305 is located at the lower side of the opening of the culture medium material basin 7 to be separated at the bottom, and the first blades 303 are all located outside the circumference of the culture medium material basin 7 to be separated at the bottom, and then the basin separation cylinder 301 is driven to drive each first blade 303 to rotate to Figure 4 In the position shown, the first blade 303 separates the edge of the culture medium basin 7 to be separated at the bottom from the edges of other basins, and can also block the next basin from falling. At this time, each second blade 305 is turned to a position where it no longer blocks the movement of the bottom culture medium basin 7, and then the suction cup assembly 5 operates to absorb and remove the bottom culture medium basin 7 and transfer it to the transmission line 6.

[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, a sub-basin assembly mounting plate 2 is provided at the front end of the basin frame 1, and the sub-basin assembly 3 is provided on the sub-basin assembly mounting plate 2.

Figures 1-2As shown, the limit plate 201 can ensure that only the culture medium basin 7 with the required size can pass through, and basins of other sizes cannot pass through. In addition, suitable sensors can be installed on the limit plate 201 as needed, such as a position detection sensor. When the culture medium basin 7 is lowered into place, the position detection sensor detects that the basin has moved into place and sends a signal to the control system, and the control system then controls the basin separation cylinder 301 to realize the basin separation operation. In addition, counting sensors can also be installed on the limit plate 201 as needed to monitor the number of basins taken away in real time. The position detection sensor and counting sensor are both commercially available products, such as Omron brand sensors.

[0029] like Figures 1-2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the suction cup assembly 5 is provided with a swingable suction cup 503, and when the edge of a culture medium basin 7 is initially separated from the edges of other culture medium basins 7 by the dividing basin assembly 3, the suction cup 503 sucks the bottom of the culture medium basin 7, and then the suction cup 503 swings again and drives the culture medium basin 7 to be completely separated from the other culture medium basins 7 and transferred to the transmission line 6 to be sent to the next process.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a suction cup assembly mounting frame 4 is provided on one side of the output end of the basin frame 1 , and the suction cup assembly 5 is arranged on the suction cup assembly mounting frame 4 .

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the suction cup assembly 5 includes a suction cup drive cylinder 501 and a rotating connecting plate 502, wherein the rear end of the suction cup drive cylinder 501 is hinged to the hinge seat 401 provided on the suction cup assembly mounting frame 4, the front end of the suction cup drive cylinder 501 is hinged to the middle part of the rotating connecting plate 502, the rear end of the rotating connecting plate 502 is hinged to the front end of the suction cup assembly mounting frame 4, the front end of the rotating connecting plate 502 is provided with a suction cup frame 5031, and each suction cup 503 is installed on the suction cup frame 5031, and a suction cup tube 5032 is provided on one side of the suction cup frame 5031 to connect with the vacuum pumping device. When the utility model is working, the suction cup drive cylinder 501 drives the rotating connecting plate 502 to rotate, thereby driving each suction cup 503 to enter and exit the culture medium material basin 7 to be transferred.

[0032] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0033] When the utility model is working, Figure 1As shown, the stacked culture medium pots 7 are placed on the inclined pot rack 1 and gradually move downward by gravity, and the pot sub-assembly 3 is arranged on the pot sub-assembly mounting plate 2 at the output end of the pot rack 1, wherein the inner opening edge of the pot sub-assembly mounting plate 2 is provided with a limit plate 201 to ensure that only pots that meet the required size can pass through, and each transmission plate 304 of the pot sub-assembly 3 is first in Figure 3 The second blade 305 is located at the lower side of the opening edge of the culture medium material basin 7 to be separated at the bottom, and at the same time, each first blade 303 is located at the outer side of the circumference of the culture medium material basin 7 to be separated at the bottom without any obstruction. Then, the basin separation cylinder 301 is actuated to drive each first blade 303 to rotate to Figure 4 At the position shown, the first blade 303 rotates inward and uses the end of the blade body 3032 to separate the edge of the culture medium basin 7 to be separated at the bottom from the edges of other basins. At the same time, the blade body 3032 of the first blade 303 also blocks the edge of the next basin so that it no longer falls. At this time, each second blade 305 rotates outward to a position where it no longer blocks the movement of the culture medium basin 7 at the bottom. In addition, the suction cup driving cylinder 501 in the suction cup assembly 5 extends out before the basin is separated and drives the rotating connecting plate 502 to rotate, thereby causing each suction cup 503 to enter the culture medium basin 7 to be separated at the bottom. After the culture medium basin 7 at the bottom is initially separated from other basins through the basin separation assembly 3, each suction cup 503 adsorbs the bottom of the culture medium basin 7 at the bottom, and then the suction cup driving cylinder 501 retracts and drives the rotating connecting plate 502 to rotate, thereby driving the suction cup 503 to swing and take away the culture medium basin 7 at the bottom and place it on the transmission line 6. The transmission line 6 is a commercially available product, for example, a transmission line of Dalian Jialin brand can be used.

[0034] In addition, Figures 1-2 As shown, the utility model has strict requirements on the size of the culture medium basin 7 and also has strict restrictions on the depth. In the prior art, the culture medium basins 7 are stacked and stored for a long time, which is time-consuming and laborious to separate manually. The utility model utilizes the basin separation assembly 3 to automatically separate the basins completely and can complete 800 to 1000 basin separation operations per hour, thereby meeting the requirements of automated production. In addition, the utility model utilizes the suction cup 503 to absorb and transfer the basins, and will not cause damage to the culture medium basins 7 which are usually made of plastic.
