[0022] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present invention, its application, or uses.

[0024] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0025] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0026] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the present application, a mushroom bag inoculation machine is provided. Figure 1 As shown, the inoculator includes: a fungus bag pushing device, a fungus strain crushing device, and a push rod inoculation device, and is collaboratively controlled by a drive control system.

[0028] The mushroom bag pushing device is provided with a horizontally movable placement trough 1, in which the mushroom bag 11 is placed; the intermediate relay 51 is controlled to work by the foot switch 5, driving the cylinder 52 to push the placement trough 1 horizontally, pushing the mushroom bag 11 to the front of the mushroom spawn crushing device and the push rod tube 3 is inserted into the mushroom bag 11 for two centimeters and then stops. At this time, the mushroom bag 11 moves to the limit switch 6, and the limit switch 6 is opened by touching. The limit switch 6 starts the AC contactor 7 and the time relay 8, and the AC contactor 7 controls the motor 71 to drive the mushroom spawn crushing device and the push rod inoculation device to start working. The AC contactor 7 and the time relay 8 are started synchronously to achieve precise control of the mushroom spawn crushing and pushing. The provision of a foot switch can make it more convenient for workers to operate.

[0029] The bacterial strain crushing device is provided with a bacterial strain cylinder 2, and a sawtooth cross crushing device 21 and a push rod cylinder 3 with an opening are provided at the bottom of the bacterial strain cylinder 2. The AC contactor 7 controls the motor 71 to drive the pulley 9 below the bacterial strain cylinder 2, driving the sawtooth cross crushing device 21 to rotate to crush the bacterial strain in the bacterial strain cylinder 2, and the crushed bacterial strain falls into the push rod cylinder 3 at the bottom of the bacterial strain cylinder 2;

[0030] The push rod inoculation device is provided with a push rod 4 based on the eccentric shaft principle. Under the drive of the motor 71, the push rod 4 moves horizontally in the push rod tube 3, pushing the bacteria in the push rod tube 3 into the bacteria bag 11 in the placement groove 1 to complete the inoculation of the bacteria bag 11.

[0031] In one example, the front of the push rod barrel 3 is equipped with a built-in spring and a four-petal conical discharge port 31. This discharge port 31 opens when the push rod 4 pushes the material and closes with a spring when the push rod stops pushing the material. The opening and closing of this four-petal conical discharge port 31 is a coordinated operation of the push rod 4 and the spring, ensuring that the bacterial strain is sealed within the push rod barrel when the push rod is not in use. A time relay 8 controls the rotation time of the motor 71, with a duty cycle that can be set to 3-5 seconds, preferably 3 seconds per cycle. The time relay 8 controls the return of the motor 71 to its original position to complete a complete bacterial bag inoculation cycle.

[0032] In one example, the bacterial strain crushing device is provided with two groups of bacterial strain cylinders 2, and two groups of push rod cylinders 3 and the push rod inoculation device are provided at the lower part of each group of bacterial strain cylinders 2.

[0033] In one example, the push rod inoculation device is provided with two sets of pulleys 9 driven by a motor 7, each set of pulleys is provided with an eccentric shaft 91, the eccentric shaft 91 is connected to one end of two fisheye connecting rods 92, and the other end of each fisheye connecting rod 92 is connected to a push rod 4 through a connecting shaft 93. The motor 7 drives the sawtooth cross crushing device 21 to rotate through the pulley 9, and also drives the eccentric shaft 91 to rotate through the belt. The eccentric shaft 91 drives the fisheye connecting rod 92 and the connecting shaft 93 to move, and then drives the push rod 4 to move horizontally in the push rod tube 3 to realize the injection of the bacterial strain.

[0034] In one example, the push rod 4 and the push rod barrel 3 can be configured as a cylindrical or square column. The motor 71 can also be a pneumatic motor.

[0035] The above embodiments focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.

[0036] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail through examples, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
