Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of edible fungus production, and particularly relates to a capping machine with a cleaning air blowing device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the main method for mass production of edible fungi in factories is bottled. This automated production line utilizes culture bottles inoculated with edible fungi strains. Typically, the inoculated fungi are placed in the culture bottles in an inoculation room. After inoculation, the bottles need to be capped. Initially, capping the bottles was done manually, but with the advent of automatic capping machines, these machines can automatically apply caps to the bottles.

[0003] During the mushroom cultivation process, mycelium will grow to form a mycelium skin and adhere to the surface of the inner plug of the bottle cap. Usually, the culture bottle and the bottle cap are cleaned before being reused. However, the existing cleaning method cannot ensure whether the air vents on the bottle cap are clean. Often, there will be a certain amount of residue left on the bottle cap, which will block the air vents. The residue can easily cause the culture medium to be contaminated. The blockage of the air vents will affect the normal evaporation of water during the sterilization of the culture medium and affect the subsequent mycelium culture development. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a capping machine with a cleaning air blowing device to address the deficiencies of the existing technology, which can clean more thoroughly, improve the air permeability of the bottle cap, reduce water accumulation in the culture bottle and improve the vitality of the mycelium in the culture bottle.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the purpose of this utility model is:

[0006] A capping machine with a cleaning blowing device includes a capping machine, which is provided with a cloth cover feeding mechanism, a capping mechanism and a roller conveying mechanism. The cloth cover feeding mechanism is provided with multiple tracks and also includes a compressed air source and a purge nozzle. Each track of the cloth cover feeding mechanism is provided with multiple spray holes, forming multiple rows and columns of spray holes. A purge nozzle is provided in each of the spray holes. The purge nozzle is connected to the compressed air source through a pipeline. A shut-off valve is provided on the pipeline. The shut-off valve is electrically connected to a control switch.

[0007] Furthermore, the capping machine further comprises a cap lifting mechanism and a cap separation guiding mechanism, wherein the cap lifting mechanism is arranged before the cap separation guiding mechanism, and the cap separation guiding mechanism is arranged before the cloth cap feeding mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the pipeline includes multiple branch pipes and a main pipe, each row of injection holes is correspondingly connected to a branch pipe, the multiple branch pipes are connected to the main pipe, the main pipe is connected to the compressed air source, and the shut-off valve is arranged on the main pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, four rows of spray holes are provided on the track of the cloth cover feeding mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the control switch is a photoelectric sensor switch.

[0011] Furthermore, the compressed air source adopts a compressed air storage tank.

[0012] Furthermore, an even number of spray holes are provided on each track of the cloth cap feeding mechanism, two adjacent spray holes form a group, and each group of spray holes is used to correspond to one air vent hole in the bottle cap.

[0013] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The utility model has a simple structure. By adding a purge nozzle to the capping machine, the purge nozzle is connected to a compressed air source. The compressed gas jet can effectively clean the residue and ash layer blocked in the air vents on the bottle caps. The cleaned bottle caps can ensure that the contamination of the culture medium is reduced, the moisture in the culture medium can be evaporated normally during sterilization, and the mycelium in the subsequent culture bottle can develop normally.

[0015] The track of the cloth cap feeding mechanism is provided with multiple rows of spray holes, each bottle cap corresponds to a spray hole, and the multiple rows of spray holes are used to clean the bottle caps in one row, thereby improving work efficiency and saving compressed air source.

[0016] The air holes on the inner and outer circles of the bottle cap are cleaned and purged using two inner and outer purge nozzles respectively, which has a better cleaning effect.
