[0037] The inoculator includes a machine table 100, a material bag conveying mechanism 200 for conveying the material bag, a material bag positioning mechanism 300 for positioning the material bag 1, a bag mouth positioning mechanism 400 for positioning the bag mouth of the material bag 10, a lid pulling mechanism 500 for pulling out the lid 12, and an inoculation mechanism for inoculating solid spawn into the material bag 10. The material bag conveying mechanism 200, the material bag positioning mechanism 300, the bag mouth positioning mechanism 400, the lid pulling mechanism 500 and the inoculation mechanism are all installed on the machine table 100.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the bag conveying mechanism 200 adopts a roller conveyor belt. Figure 13 As shown, every twelve bags 10 are loaded into a tray, and the tray can be directly placed on the bag conveying mechanism 200 for transmission.

After the material bag 10 is positioned by the material bag positioning mechanism 200, the clamping plate cylinder 440 drives the clamping plate seat 410 to move downward, so that each clamping opening 421 surrounds the outer periphery of the ring cover 13 of the corresponding material bag 10, and then, the clamping plate 420 is driven by the clamping cylinder 430 to move so that the clamping opening 421 becomes smaller, until the clamping opening wall is against the outer periphery of the corresponding ring cover 13, and the bag opening of the material bag 10 is positioned.

[0041] The inoculation mechanism includes a strain storage mechanism 600 , a strain transfer mechanism and a strain pressing mechanism 700 . The strain transfer mechanism is located between the strain pressing mechanism 700 and the material bag 10 . The strain pressing mechanism 700 presses the strains in the strain transfer mechanism into the material bag 10 .

[0042] The strain storage mechanism 600 includes a storage bin 610, a baffle 620, a baffle cylinder 630, a stirring shaft 640 and a stirring motor 650. The bottom surface of the storage bin 610 is provided with a plurality of discharge ports (not shown in the figure). The baffle 620 is movably mounted on the bottom of the storage bin 610 and can move between blocking the discharge ports and opening the discharge ports. The baffle cylinder 630 is transmission-connected to the baffle 620. The stirring shaft 640 is rotationally mounted in the storage bin 610 and is transmission-connected to the stirring motor 650. In this embodiment, there are four discharge ports and they are arranged at intervals.

[0043] In this embodiment, the culture transfer mechanism includes a transfer motor 800, a material storage component and a feed component. The material storage component is transmission-connected to the transfer motor 800 and can reciprocate between the culture storage mechanism 600 and the culture pressing mechanism 700; the material storage component includes a material storage plate 810 provided with a plurality of material storage ports 811, a pull plate 820 and a pull plate cylinder 830, the pull plate cylinder 830 is installed on the bottom surface of the material storage plate 810, the pull plate 820 is transmission-connected to the pull plate cylinder 830 and can move relative to the material storage plate 810 to open or close the material storage port 811; the feed component includes a feed cylinder 840 and a feed plate 850 provided with a plurality of feed ports 851, the feed plate 850 is transmission-connected to the feed cylinder 840 and can move forward and backward, and is located between the material bag 10 and the culture pressing mechanism 700, and is located below the material storage component. In this embodiment, there are 12 storage ports 811 and 12 feed ports 851, and four of them are arranged in a row. Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the material storage component is located below the bacterial strain storage mechanism 600, and the four material storage ports 811 correspond one to one with the four material discharge ports. The transfer motor 800 can drive the material storage component to move so that the 12 material storage ports 811 are all filled with bacterial strains.

[0044] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, a feed hopper 852 corresponding to the feed port 851 is disposed on the bottom surface of the feed plate 850 . When the pull plate 820 opens the storage port 811 , the bacteria in the storage port 811 falls into the feed hopper 852 through the feed port 851 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the capping mechanism 500 includes a plurality of capping cylinders 510 and a plurality of capping claws 520. The capping cylinders 510 are fixed to the bottom surface of the feed plate 850 and are staggered with the feed hopper 852. The capping claws 520 are connected to the capping cylinders 510 in a one-to-one correspondence and can clamp or release the cap body 12.Figure 4 As shown, the cap-pulling mechanism 500 is provided with 12, which are also arranged in an array and are staggered from the 12 feeding hoppers 852. The purpose is to first pull off the 12 caps by the cap-pulling mechanism 500, and then drive the feeding plate 850 to translate by the feeding cylinder 840 so that the feeding hopper 852 corresponds to the bag mouth of the material bag 10.

[0046] In this embodiment, the strain pressing mechanism 700 includes a pressing cylinder 710, a pressing plate 720 and a plurality of pressing shafts 730. The pressing shafts 730 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pressing plate 720 and face the bag mouth of the material bag 10. The pressing plate 720 is connected to the pressing cylinder 710 and the pressing plate 720 can drive the pressing shafts 730 to move up and down. The pressing shafts 730 can press the strains in the feeding hopper into the material bag 10. As Figure 9 shown, the pressing shafts 730 are provided with 12 and are arranged in an array, exactly corresponding to the bag mouths of the 12 material bags one by one. After the strains enter the feeding hopper 852 from the stock inlet 811 through the feeding port 851, the pressing cylinder 710 drives the pressing plate 720 to move downward to drive the pressing shafts 730 to move downward. The pressing shafts 730 extend into the feeding hopper 852 to press the strains into the material bag 10.

[0047] The inoculation process of the inoculator of this application is as follows:

[0048] The bag conveying mechanism 200 transfers the tray with the bag 10 to the inoculation station. Then, the positioning plate 320 of the bag positioning mechanism 300 clamps and positions the bag 10 on the tray, and the ring cover 13 of the bag is clamped and positioned by the bag mouth positioning mechanism 400. Then, the feeding cylinder 840 drives the feeding plate 850 to move to the inoculation station, and the cap removing mechanism 500 corresponds to the bag 10 one by one. The cap removing mechanism 500 clamps and removes the cap 12 on the bag, and then the feeding cylinder 840 drives the feeding plate 850 to move so that the feeding hopper 852 corresponds to the bag mouth of the bag 10 one by one. During the operation of the above mechanisms, the stock storage assembly can operate synchronously. The transfer motor 800 moves the stock storage assembly under the storage bin 610. The baffle cylinder 630 drives the baffle 620 to move to open the material discharge port. The strainer is dropped from the material discharge port to one row of the stock storage ports 811 through the stirring shaft 640. Then, the transfer motor 800 drives the stock storage plate 810 to move to fill the remaining stock storage ports 811. Then, the stock storage assembly is moved directly above the feeding plate 850, and the stock storage ports 811 correspond to the feeding ports 851 one by one. Then, the pull plate cylinder 830 moves the pull plate 820 to open the stock storage port 811. At this time, the strainer in the stock storage port 811 drops into the feeding hopper 852 through the feeding port 851. Then, the pressing cylinder 710 drives the pressing plate 720 to move downward, so as to drive the pressing shaft 730 to move downward. The pressing shaft 730 extends into the feeding hopper 852 to press the strainer into the bag 10. Finally, the feeding cylinder 840 drives the feeding plate 850 to move so that the cap removing claw 520 corresponds to the bag 10. The cap removing cylinder 510 drives the cap removing claw 520 to move to cover the cap 12 back to the bag mouth of the bag 10. The bag mouth positioning mechanism 400 releases the ring cover 13, the bag positioning mechanism 300 releases the bag 10, and the bag conveying mechanism 200 removes the tray from the inoculation station, thus completing the inoculation.

[0049] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and thus the scope of implementation of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the present invention patent and the content of the specification should still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
