[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0023] Example: Figure 1-6 As shown, a Tremella fuciformis culture bottle loading and turning device is provided, comprising a loading mechanism 1 and a turning mechanism 2 sequentially arranged along the culture bottle conveying direction; the turning mechanism 2 comprises a turning plate 201 and pressing plates 202 symmetrically arranged above and below the turning plate, the pressing plate and the turning plate being connected via an elastic component 203, forming a feeding space 204 between the pressing plate and the turning plate for limiting the position of a tray frame, and liftable supporting plates 205 are provided in front and rear of the upper pressing plate for lifting the upper pressing plate upward to facilitate the input or output of the tray frame.

[0024] During operation: the tray frame 6 with the Tremella culture bottle 7 is input to the loading mechanism by a conveying device, and the chain conveying mechanism drives the tray frame to move toward the turning mechanism; when the tray frame passes the upward push plate, since the left side of the push plate is higher than the right side, and the push plate is elastic, the push plate is pressed down by the tray frame and compressed by the return spring. After the tray frame passes the push plate position, under the elastic force of the return spring, the tray resumes its upward tilt along its hinge point, and the curved part of the tray can support the right side of the tray frame; the support plate cylinder lifts the upper pressure plate to ensure that there is a large enough feeding space between the pressure plate and the turning plate, and then the push plate cylinder drives the first slider, the second slider, and the push plate to move to the left, pushing the tray frame with the culture bottle to the left, and at the same time the chain on the conveyor seat feeds. The conveying chain of the mechanism drives the second slider and the push plate to the left to quickly push the tray frame into the turning mechanism, so that the upper opening of the culture bottle on the tray frame is aligned with the through hole on the pressure plate of the turning mechanism; the supporting plate cylinder resets, drives the supporting plate to move downward, and the pressure plate located above loses the support of the supporting plate. Under the elastic force of the spring, the pressure plate located above presses down the white fungus culture bottle on the tray frame to form a limit; the first cylinder drives the lifting frame, the turning plate, and the two pressure plates to rise upward, and then the motor drives the turning plate and the two pressure plates to turn 180 degrees, so that the pressure plate located above becomes located below, even if the bottle mouth of the culture bottle faces downward, the waste matrix in the culture bottle falls downward through the through hole of the pressure plate to the discharging hopper, and then is discharged and collected by the discharging hopper through the waste belt conveyor mechanism;

[0025] Then the first cylinder drives the lifting frame, the turning plate, and the two pressure plates to move downward and reset. At this time, the tray frame originally located at the bottom is now located at the top. Then the loading mechanism pushes the new tray frame into the turning mechanism, and the culture bottle with the matrix already poured in the turning mechanism is pushed out to another conveying device for output, and this cycle repeats.

[0026] The above-mentioned elastic component 203 includes multiple springs 2031 arranged between the flip plate and the pressure plate. Multiple springs can be set at the four corners of the flip plate and the pressure plate. The two ends of the springs are respectively connected to the flip plate and the pressure plate through fixing parts 2032. When the tray frame enters the feeding space, the elastic force of the spring causes the pressure plate located above to press the tray frame and the Tremella fuciformis culture bottle on the flip plate, so that the tray frame and the Tremella fuciformis culture bottle are clamped and limited.

[0027] Four second guide columns 2033 are also provided between the above-mentioned flip plate and the pressure plates located above and below.

When the tray frame and the Tremella culture bottle on the tray frame need to be output or input into the flipping mechanism, the support plate cylinder drives the support plate to move upward, moving the upper pressure plate upward a certain distance, so that the upper pressure plate is separated from the upper end of the culture bottle to create a gap, and then facilitates the output of the tray frame.
