Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fungus inoculation machine, belonging to the technical field of agricultural machinery. Background Art

[0002] The inoculation machine is one of the key equipment in the production of edible fungi. It is used to inoculate the fungus into the culture medium or the fungus bag to ensure the rapid growth of the mycelium and the uniform distribution of the excellent fungus. The design of the inoculation machine can improve the inoculation efficiency, reduce the contamination rate, reduce manual operation, and improve production efficiency. The existing inoculation machine, such as the edible fungus inoculation machine disclosed in the publication number CN103155798A, has a simple structure. It only relies on the impact force of the cylinder to use the mechanical attachment to send the solid fungus into the steel pipe, and then the machine moves down, punctures the fungus bag, and ejects the fungus into the culture medium. This inoculation method cannot achieve uniform inoculation of the fungus into the culture medium. In the case of high production volume, the inoculation amount will be inconsistent, resulting in unstable culture effect. At the same time, it has poor adaptability to the fungus species and is not compatible with all types of culture media. It has a narrow scope of application and a low degree of automation.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a new type of intelligent inoculation machine to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
