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

[0023] Example: Figure 1-8 As shown, a mechanism for removing the inner cover of a Tremella culture bottle is provided, comprising a frame 1 and a chain conveying mechanism 2 arranged in the middle of the frame, a plurality of bottle body limiting rods 3 are arranged above the chain conveying mechanism, and a bottle body limiting space 31 is formed between adjacent bottle body limiting rods, an inner cover clamping component 4 is arranged above the bottle body limiting space, and a lifting component 5 for driving the inner cover clamping component to rise and fall is arranged above the inner cover clamping component.

[0024] During operation, a number of Tremella culture bottles 12 are neatly placed on the tray 13, for example, four rows of Tremella culture bottles are placed, with four Tremella culture bottles in each row; at this time, the Tremella culture bottles have had their outer covers removed in the previous process, leaving only the inner covers 14; the tray with the Tremella culture bottles is fed into the chain conveyor mechanism by the roller feeding mechanism, and the chain conveyor mechanism drives the culture bottles to be neatly conveyed along the bottle body limiting space to the bottom of the inner cover clamping assembly, so that the inner covers of the Tremella culture bottles are directly opposite to the bottom of the inner cover clamping assembly, and the chain conveyor mechanism stops; the cylinder of the lifting assembly drives the inner cover clamping assembly to move downward, so that the first hook and the second hook of the inner cover clamping assembly extend into the inner cover through hole 141 of the Tremella culture bottle, and at this time the first cylinder drives the first clamping member to move leftward. , the second cylinder drives the second clamping assembly to move to the right, and the first hook and the second hook located in the through hole of the inner cover move oppositely, so that the first hook and the second hook clamp the through hole of the inner cover; the lifting assembly drives the inner cover clamping assembly to move upward to take the inner cover out of the culture bottle; the chain conveying mechanism drives the culture bottle with the inner cover removed to leave and output. When the culture bottle with the tray leaves the bottom of the inner cover clamping assembly, the first cylinder drives the first clamping piece to move to the right and reset, and the second cylinder drives the second clamping piece to the left and reset. The first hook and the second hook reset and approach each other and can no longer clamp the inner cover. At this time, the inner cover falls downward and falls onto the inner cover belt feeding mechanism through the inner cover discharging hopper, and is centrally output to the collection and placement area of ​​the inner cover by the inner cover belt feeding mechanism.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, each group of inner cover clamping components 4 includes a base 41, a first clamping member 42 and a second clamping member 43. The first clamping member and the second clamping member can move synchronously relative to each other or move back and forth, thereby changing the locking state of the first transverse plate, the first hook and the second hook below the first transverse plate. The first clamping member includes a first connecting plate 421 and a plurality of first transverse plates 422 spaced apart on the first connecting plate. The second clamping member includes a second connecting plate 431 and a plurality of second connecting plates 432 spaced apart on the second connecting plate. The corresponding first transverse plates and the second transverse plates are staggered front and rear. A plurality of first hooks 423 are spaced apart below each first transverse plate, and a plurality of second hooks 433 are spaced apart below each second transverse plate. The hook directions of the first hook and the second hook are opposite, and the corresponding first hook and the second hook move synchronously relative to each other or toward and away from each other.

[0026] A first hook and a second hook form a clamping structure for fixing the inner cover; the inner cover clamping assembly may include multiple groups of such clamping structures.

[0027] When the inner cover clamping assembly is working, when the inner cover needs to be fixed, the first hook on the first transverse plate of the first clamping member and the second hook on the second transverse plate of the second clamping member partially overlap together, and the width is smaller than the width of the inner cover through hole. After the first hook and the second hook are inserted into the through hole of the inner cover, the first hook on the first transverse plate of the first clamping member and the second hook on the second transverse plate of the second clamping member move away from each other for a distance. At this time, the width between the first hook and the second hook is greater than the width of the inner cover through hole, and the first hook and the second hook are in contact with the lower surface of the inner cover through hole. At this time, the raised first hook and the second hook can drive the inner cover to move upward. When the inner cover needs to be lowered again, the first hook and the second hook move relative to each other for a distance, so that the first hook and the second hook are reset, and the first hook and the second hook are overlapped together again. The width formed by the two is smaller than the width of the inner cover through hole, and the inner cover will fall down.
