Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of edible mushroom cultivation, in particular to an automatic feeding mechanism for sponges. Background Art

[0002] During the cultivation of edible mushrooms, in order to maintain the humidity and air permeability inside the edible mushroom bags, it is often necessary to embed special sponges for edible mushrooms into the holes of the edible mushroom bags. The sponges are porous sponge bodies made of special materials, usually composed of high molecular polymers, and are processed by special processes to make them have good elasticity, air permeability, water retention and durability.

[0003] In the traditional method, the operation of embedding the special sponges for edible mushrooms into the holes of the edible mushroom bags mostly depends on manual operation, which not only has low efficiency, but also has problems such as high labor costs and large labor intensity. Therefore, we propose an automatic feeding mechanism for sponges to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the disadvantages in the prior art that manually stuffing the special sponges for edible mushrooms into the holes of the edible mushroom bags not only has low efficiency, but also has high labor costs and large labor intensity, and to propose an automatic feeding mechanism for sponges.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] An automatic feeding mechanism for sponges includes a conveyor and a vibrating feeding tray. The vibrating feeding tray is located on one side of the conveyor. An edible mushroom frame is arranged on the conveyor belt of the conveyor. A plurality of edible mushroom bags are arranged at equal intervals on the top of the edible mushroom frame. Two brackets are fixedly arranged on the top of the conveyor. Slide grooves are arranged on one side of each of the two brackets close to each other. The same slider is slidably connected to the two slide grooves. A relief opening is formed at the top of the slider. The mechanism further includes:

[0007] A feeding assembly, which is arranged on the slider and is used for embedding sponge blocks into corresponding edible mushroom bags;

[0008] A feeding component, which is arranged on the slider and is used for automatically conveying sponge blocks to realize feeding.

[0009] In a possible design, a screw rod is rotatably connected inside the slide groove of one of the brackets, and a motor is fixedly arranged on one side of the bracket. One end of the screw rod extends to the outside of the bracket. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the screw rod. The screw rod threadedly penetrates through the slider.

[0010] In one possible design, the loading assembly includes a support seat, which passes through a make way opening and is slidably connected to the make way opening, a fixed tube is fixedly provided at the bottom of the support seat, a second cylinder is fixedly provided at the top of the support seat, a push rod is fixedly provided at the output end of the second cylinder, a feeding hole is provided at the bottom of the fixed tube, one end of the push rod passes through the top of the fixed tube and extends to the interior of the fixed tube, and the second cylinder drives the push rod to push the sponge block in the fixed tube into the corresponding edible fungus bag.

[0011] In a possible design, a first limiting ring is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the fixed tube, and a second limiting ring is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the feed hole below the fixed tube, and the inner diameter holes of the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring are both smaller than the minimum diameter of the sponge block, and the bottom of the push rod is inserted into the second limiting ring and slidably cooperates with the second limiting ring. The first limiting ring is used to limit the position of the sponge block conveyed into the fixed tube, and the second limiting ring can prevent the sponge block from falling directly.

[0012] In a possible design, a first cylinder is fixedly provided on the top of the slider, and the output end of the first cylinder passes through the bottom of the slider and is fixedly connected to the support seat. A limit rod is fixedly provided on the top of the support seat, and the limit rod passes through the slider and is slidably connected to the slider. The first cylinder can be used to enable the loading assembly to move up and down to adapt to edible fungus bags of different heights, and the limit rod plays a stabilizing role during the movement.

[0013] In a possible design, the feeding assembly includes a limiting tube, a feeding port is opened on one side of the limiting tube, the limiting tube is fixedly arranged in a feeding trough of the feeding end of the vibrating feeding plate, both ends of the limiting tube respectively extend to the outside of the feeding end, one end of the limiting tube is fixedly connected to a conveying hose, the other end of the conveying hose is connected to a fixed tube, a blower is fixedly arranged on the outside of the feeding end, and the air outlet of the blower is connected to the other end of the limiting tube, and the wind force of the blower is used to introduce the lighter sponge block into the fixed tube through the limiting tube and the conveying hose, so as to realize the conveyance of the sponge block.

[0014] In a possible design, a top cover is provided on the top of the feeding trough at the feeding end of the vibrating feeding tray to prevent the sponge blocks from being blown away by the wind from the blower.

[0015] In this application, first, the edible mushroom frames containing edible mushroom bags are successively placed on the conveyor belt of the conveyor. The sponge blocks to be inserted are placed in the vibrating feeding tray. Then, the conveyor and the vibrating feeding tray are started successively. Under the action of vibration, the vibrating feeding tray transports the sponge blocks along the feeding chute to the feeding end and into the limiting tube. Then, the blower is started, and air is blown into the limiting tube through the air outlet. The sponge blocks are introduced into the fixed tube from the feeding chute through the limiting tube and the conveying hose by the wind force. The top cover on the feeding end prevents the sponge blocks from being scattered by the wind force of the blower.

[0016] When the sponge blocks enter the fixed tube, the first limiting ring positions the sponge blocks to prevent excessive movement and position deviation. Subsequently, the second cylinder drives the ejector rod to move downward, ejecting the sponge blocks from the blanking hole at the bottom of the fixed tube and embedding them into the edible mushroom bags.

[0017] During the process, the motor drives the screw to rotate, driving the slider to move horizontally in the chute, thereby adjusting the position of the feeding assembly to adapt to edible mushroom bags at different positions. At the same time, the first cylinder drives the support seat to move up and down to adjust the height of the feeding assembly to ensure that the sponge blocks can be accurately embedded into the edible mushroom bags.

Two brackets 19 are fixed on the top of the conveyor 1 and are slidably connected to the slider 4 through a chute to realize the lateral movement of the slider 4.

[0032] One of the brackets 19 is rotatably connected with a screw 5 at the chute, and one end of the screw 5 is connected to the output end of the motor 6. The motor 6 drives the screw 5 to rotate, and then drives the slider 4 to move along the chute, realizing the lateral positioning of the feeding assembly above the edible mushroom box 2.

[0033] The feeding component mainly consists of components such as a support base 7, a fixed pipe 8, a second cylinder 11, and a push rod 12. The support base 7 passes through the relief opening of the slider 4 and is driven to move up and down by a first cylinder 9 to adapt to edible mushroom packages of different heights. The fixed pipe 8 is arranged at the bottom of the support base 7 and is used to store sponge blocks to be embedded. The second cylinder 11 is fixed at the top of the support base 7, and its output end is connected to the push rod 12. The sponge block in the fixed pipe 8 is pushed into the corresponding edible mushroom package through the push rod 12.

[0034] The feeding component consists of components such as a limit pipe 16, a conveying hose 18, and a blower 17. The limit pipe 16 is fixedly arranged in the feeding groove of the vibrating feeder 3, one end is connected to the conveying hose 18, and the other end is connected to the air outlet of the blower 17. When the vibrating feeder 3 works, the sponge block moves along the feeding groove to the inside of the limit pipe 16 under the action of vibration, and then is sent into the fixed pipe 8 through the limit pipe 16 and the conveying hose 18 under the action of the wind force of the blower 17, completing the automatic conveying of the sponge block.

[0035] This application can be used in the field of edible mushroom cultivation technology and can also be used in other fields applicable to this application.
