Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid fungus inoculation, in particular to an automatic inoculator for edible fungus liquid fungus. Background Art
[0002] Liquid strains are currently replacing traditional solid strain production methods with their short production cycles, low costs, pollution-free operation, and high vitality. Liquid strains are edible fungi strains grown in liquid culture media in bio-fermentation tanks using submerged culture technology. Their application in edible fungi production is crucial for the industry to transition from traditional, complex, long-term, high-cost, experience-based, labor-intensive, and manual production methods to automated, standardized, and large-scale production.
[0003] An inoculator is a device used for automatic inoculation of edible fungi. It is generally divided into solid inoculators and liquid inoculators. The liquid inoculator injects the liquid fungus into the fungus tank through an injection needle.

[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the edible fungus liquid spawn automatic inoculator provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a support frame 1 and an inoculation mechanism 2. Conveying mechanisms 6 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the support frame 1. A fixing plate 3 is fixedly installed between the inner walls of the support frame 1. Two guide rods 4 are fixedly installed on the upper side of the fixing plate 3. Several placement blocks 5 are provided between the two conveying mechanisms 6. A placement groove 7 is provided on the upper side of the placement block 5. Sliding grooves 10 are provided on both sides of the placement block 5. A telescopic cylinder 11 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 10. A mounting plate 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the telescopic cylinder 11. A roller 13 is rotatably installed on one side of the plate 12, and the two rollers 13 are respectively fitted with one side of the two guide rods 4. A first spring 14 is provided between the mounting plate 12 and the placement block 5, and a clamping plate 17 is provided on one side of the telescopic cylinder 11. A telescopic rod 16 is slidably installed in the telescopic cylinder 11, and one end of the telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 17. A second spring 15 is provided between the telescopic rod 16 and the inner wall of the telescopic cylinder 11. Receiving grooves 9 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the placement groove 7. The receiving groove 9 is connected to the sliding groove 10, and the clamping plate 17 is slidably set in the receiving groove 9.
[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bacteria tank is placed in the placement slot 7 of the placement block 5 located at the front end of the conveying mechanism 6, and the placement block 5 is driven to move by starting the conveying mechanism 6. The movement of the placement block 5 can drive the installation plate 12 to move, wherein the guide rod 4 is in a shape with both ends inclined outward and the middle section narrowed inward. The installation plates 12 and the rollers 13 on both sides of the placement block 5 are located between the two guide rods 4, and the rollers 13 are in contact with one side of the guide rod 4. When the conveying mechanism 6 drives the placement block 5 to move, the rollers 13 will move along the guide rods 4. The middle section of the guide rod 4 is in an inwardly contracted shape, so that the rollers 13 move along the guide rods 4, which can drive the installation plate 12 to move toward the placement block 5, and the installation plate 12 to move toward the placement block The movement of the telescopic cylinder 11 can drive the telescopic rod 16 to slide into the sliding groove 10. The movement of the telescopic cylinder 11 can drive the telescopic rod 16 to move. The movement of the telescopic rod 16 can drive the clamping plate 17 to extend out of the storage groove 9 to clamp the bacteria tank. When the bacteria tank is small, when the mounting plate 12 and the roller 13 move to the narrowed position of the two guide rods 4, the telescopic rod 16 is extended out of the telescopic cylinder 11 by the second spring 15, thereby enabling the clamping plate 17 to clamp the bacteria tank. When the bacteria tank is large, when the mounting plate 12 and the roller 13 move to the narrowed position of the two guide rods 4, the clamping plate 17 contacts the bacteria tank, and the telescopic rod 16 can retract into the telescopic cylinder 11, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of bacteria tanks of various sizes.
[0025] The utility model provides an automatic inoculator for liquid spawn of edible fungi, and the conveying mechanism 6 includes a sprocket 24, a chain 25 and a drive motor 26. There are two sprockets 24, and the two sprockets 24 are rotatably mounted on one side of the inner wall of the support frame 1. The chain 25 is sleeved on the sides of the two sprockets 24. The drive motor 26 is fixedly mounted on one side of the support frame 1, and the output end of the drive motor 26 is fixedly connected to one of the sprockets 24. Connecting rods 8 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the placement block 5, and the two connecting rods 8 are fixedly connected to one side of the two chains 25 respectively.
[0026] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the sprocket 24 is driven to rotate by starting the drive motor 26, and the rotation of the sprocket 24 can drive the chain 25 to rotate, and the rotation of the chain 25 can drive the connecting rod 8 to move, and the movement of the connecting rod 8 can drive the placement block 5 to move, wherein there are several placement blocks 5, and the several placement blocks 5 are equidistantly cyclically arranged between the chains 25, wherein the drive motor 26 is correspondingly provided with an indirect switch, so that when the drive motor 26 drives the sprocket 24 and the chain 25 to drive the bacteria tank placed in the placement groove 7 to move to the bottom of the inoculation mechanism 2, it will stop. After the inoculation is completed, the drive motor 26 will start again, so that it drives the sprocket 24 and the chain 25 to drive the inoculated bacteria tank forward, and at the same time, it will drive the uninoculated bacteria tank to move to the bottom of the inoculation mechanism 2, and then stop again. At this time, the worker will remove the inoculated bacteria tank.
[0027] The utility model provides an automatic inoculator for liquid spawn of edible fungi, and the inoculation mechanism 2 includes a storage box 18, a delivery pump 20 and an infusion head 22. The storage box 18 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the support frame 1, and the delivery pump 20 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the storage box 18. Two electric telescopic rods 19 are fixedly mounted on the lower side of the storage box 18.
