Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of edible fungus cultivation and inoculation, in particular to a novel edible fungus liquid cultivation and inoculation integrated machine. Background Art

[0002] Currently, edible fungi culture and inoculation are usually performed as two relatively independent steps. Some edible fungi have high requirements for the inoculation environment (some require a sterile environment). Therefore, during the culture and inoculation process, the exposure time of the culture medium in the culture vessel should be minimized.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional liquid inoculation methods for edible fungi primarily rely on single-needle inoculation or spray inoculation with the lid or film removed. Single-needle inoculation is inefficient and uneven, requiring a long time for full mycelium growth, making it unsuitable for industrial mass production. Spray inoculation also presents problems such as uneven spraying, which can lead to the failure of edible fungi to grow in some areas of the culture medium, and overly dense and wet inoculation in some areas, which can affect growth. Furthermore, spraying with the lid or film removed can easily lead to inoculum contamination, impacting yield and quality, and making processing equipment difficult to clean. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a new type of edible fungus liquid culture and inoculation integrated machine, which can combine the two steps of strain culture and inoculation and complete them simultaneously in the assembly line. In addition, it can also accurately control the inoculation density and inoculation amount.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention solves the problem through the following technical solutions: a new type of edible fungus liquid culture and inoculation integrated machine, including a filter air compressor, a steam engine, a culture tank, a dilution and activation tank and an inoculation production line. The filter air compressor and the steam engine are arranged at the front end and are respectively connected to the culture tank pipeline, the culture tank is connected to the dilution and activation tank pipeline, and the dilution and activation tank is connected to the inoculation production line pipeline.

[0006] Furthermore, the inoculation line includes a conveyor belt, an isolation cover and an inoculation needle assembly. The isolation cover is installed on the conveyor belt, and the inoculation needle assembly is installed on the top inside the isolation cover. A filter fan is also provided on the top of the isolation cover to provide negative pressure inside the isolation cover, which is conducive to maintaining the cleanliness inside the isolation cover.

[0007] Furthermore, the inoculation needle assembly includes a needle body, a guide plate and a pipe connector. An access port is provided at the upper end of the guide plate, and several needle interfaces are provided at the lower end of the guide plate. The access port and the needle interface are connected, and the several needle interfaces are arranged in an array. The needle body is assembled at the needle interface, and the pipe connector is assembled with the access port.

[0008] Furthermore, a pneumatic cylinder is provided on the top of the isolation cover, the lower end of the pneumatic cylinder is connected to the first mounting plate, the lower end of the first mounting plate is connected to the second mounting plate, and the guide plate is fixedly mounted on the lower end surface of the second mounting plate. The isolation cover is transparent on all sides, and the guide plate can be raised and lowered, driving the needle body to rise and fall through the membrane for inoculation, thereby realizing inoculation without removing the membrane and controlling the low contamination rate.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting holes for mounting guide plates are provided on both sides of the second mounting plate in the width direction.

[0010] Furthermore, a cleaning storage box is provided below the conveyor belt at the isolation cover position. The upper end of the cleaning storage box is open and the lower end is provided with a water outlet for easy cleaning.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the isolation cover is the feed port and the other end is the discharge port. Both the feed port and the discharge port are provided with flexible transparent baffles, which are conducive to maintaining negative pressure and cleanliness in the isolation cover and further controlling the contamination rate to an extremely low level.

[0012] The utility model is beneficial in that:

[0013] 1. This technical solution integrates the culture of fungi, inoculation of fungi and cleaning of the assembly line. The connections between the various parts are not exposed, the degree of automation is high, and the inoculation cleanliness is high. It is suitable for the industrial mass production of high-quality edible fungi.

[0014] 2. The opening of the culture dish (culture frame) is covered with a transparent film, the edge of which fits tightly against the culture dish frame. The inoculation needle is extremely small, with an inner diameter of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 mm. When the inoculation needle penetrates the transparent film, only a tiny hole is created, preventing contamination of the culture dish. This allows inoculation without removing the film, and minimizes contamination.

[0015] 3. The automatic inoculation isolation hood is equipped with a pressurized ultra-clean filter fan to provide negative pressure inside the isolation hood, keep the negative pressure inside the isolation hood clean, further control the contamination rate to an extremely low level, and achieve high yield and high quality.
