Description

Technical Field

[0002] Cordyceps flower is also known as northern cordyceps and Cordyceps militaris. Its ingredients are similar to those of Cordyceps sinensis. As a precious edible and medicinal fungus, Cordyceps flower is listed as one of the three major tonics in China along with ginseng and deer antlers. The current production process of Cordyceps flower includes the preparation of cultivated species → preparation of culture medium → sterilization and inoculation → shelf germination → grass management → harvesting → storage. In the prior art, the production process of Cordyceps flower culture medium is mainly based on the combination of manual labor and labor tools. This method has the problems of high labor intensity and low accuracy of the configuration ratio of culture medium raw materials. The materials required for the preparation of Cordyceps flower culture medium include solid grains and liquid culture solution. During preparation, it is necessary to load grains and culture solution in a fixed ratio according to the volume of the container, and then coat the container with a film to complete the sealing for the subsequent "sterilization and inoculation" process.

Figure 3 The left side of the material box discharge port 107 is shown Figure 4 When the hopper discharge port 201 on the lower side is aligned, only one group of discharge ports is connected. When the material box discharge port 107 and the hopper discharge port 201 are not aligned and completely staggered, the solid material is no longer discharged. In addition, a solid material flow meter can be set in the material box discharge port 107 according to actual needs to detect the discharge amount in real time, and the control system can calculate and control the movement of the material box 101 according to the detection data.

[0030] like Figures 2-3 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, the material box driving device 103 is a motor, and the connecting element includes a crank 104 and a connecting rod 105, wherein one end of the crank 104 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor, and the other end is hinged to the head end of the connecting rod 105, and the tail end of the connecting rod 105 is hinged to the connecting plate 1011 on one side of the material box 101. When the present embodiment is working, the motor drives the crank 104 to rotate, and the crank 104 drives the material box 101 to move left and right through the connecting rod 105. The motor is provided with an encoder for real-time detection of the speed of the motor, and the control system is converted to control the rotation angle of the crank 104, thereby controlling the moving distance of the material box 101 to adjust the alignment number or alignment area of ​​the material box discharge port 107 and the hopper discharge port 201. The encoder is a well-known technology in the art and is a commercially available product. In addition, the present embodiment is suitable for the case where the area of ​​the material box discharge port 107 and the hopper discharge port 201 is relatively small.

In this way, the flow rate of the two liquid materials injected can be controlled to ensure that the concentration of the culture solution meets the requirements, or the first liquid discharge nozzle 401 and the second liquid discharge nozzle 301 can also inject culture solutions with different components to meet the culture medium preparation requirements of different edible and medicinal fungi. In addition, when the volume of the culture medium material basin is relatively small, the utility model can also rely only on the first liquid discharge nozzle 401 to inject liquid materials. At this time, the second liquid discharge nozzle 301 is closed and Figure 2The first liquid discharge nozzle 401 and the second liquid discharge nozzle 301 can be purchased from Shanghai Juliang Valve Group.

[0033] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0034] When the utility model is working, solid materials (grains) are placed in the solid hopper 2. When the culture medium basin is transmitted to the injection station through the transmission line 6, the solid materials in the solid hopper 2 are injected into the culture medium basin through the solid discharging mechanism 1 to control the discharging flow rate. The material box 101 in the solid discharging mechanism 1 moves left and right to change the alignment number or alignment area of ​​the material box discharge port 107 thereon and the hopper discharge port 201, thereby changing the discharge flow rate of the solid material to achieve the purpose of adjusting the output amount of the solid material. When the material box discharge port 107 and the hopper discharge port 201 are completely offset, the remaining part of the material box 101 blocks the hopper discharge port 201, and the solid material cannot be output and fall, thereby realizing the solid material discharge closing function. The liquid material (culture solution, water, etc.) is injected into the culture medium basin through each liquid material pipe respectively, and each liquid material pipe is provided with a flow control valve for controlling the output flow of the liquid material. In this way, the utility model controls the solid material discharge flow rate adjustment and the liquid material output flow rate adjustment through the control system to achieve the purpose of accurately controlling the culture medium material ratio.

[0035] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the utility model can be centrally arranged on the frame 5, and the transmission line 6 passes through the middle of the frame 5. When a material basin is filled with material, the transmission line 6 is activated to transmit it to the subsequent laminating station, and at the same time inputs the next material basin into the filling station, thereby meeting the requirements of automated production.
