Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of auxiliary tools for edible fungus production, and in particular to an edible fungus bottling clamp. Background Art

[0002] Filling the seed bottle with water is a crucial step in the edible fungus cultivation process. The growth and development of edible fungi require adequate water and nutrients. The nutrient availability of the fungus sticks in the seed bottle, serving as the substrate for their growth, directly impacts their growth. Therefore, properly filling the seed bottle with water ensures that the fungi receive the necessary water and nutrients, promoting their normal growth and development.

[0003] In the past, edible mushroom cultivation companies primarily used manual labor to fill spawn bottles with water. Workers would hold the spawn bottles and immerse them in a pre-prepared water tank. To fill the bottles with water, they would bend over to pick up the bottles, then straighten up and move them to the water tank. Then, they would bend over and immerse their hands along with the bottles in the water. They would not be able to straighten up again until the bottles were filled. They would also need to bend over to place the filled bottles in the designated area. This not only increased the worker's workload but also slowed down bottling efficiency. Furthermore, in winter, the water in the tanks or buckets can be quite cold, making it easy for workers to freeze their hands when submerged along with the bottles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present application provides an edible fungus bottling clamp, which can not only improve the workers' efficiency in bottling the spawn bottles in the edible fungus production process, but also reduce the workers' labor intensity during operation and reduce the contact between the workers' hands and water in cold winter weather.

[0005] The above-mentioned purpose of this application is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An edible fungus bottling clamp comprises a left fork arm and a right fork arm, wherein the middle positions of the left fork arm and the right fork arm are hinged to each other, and the lower ends of the left fork arm and the right fork arm are each provided with a clamping portion, and the clamping portion and the corresponding left fork arm or the right fork arm are connected by an extension rod;

[0007] The upper ends of the left fork arm and the right fork arm are both connected to a gripping portion; when the two gripping portions approach each other, the left fork arm and the right fork arm can be driven to approach each other with the two clamping portions to clamp at least two culture bottles.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping portion is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped clamping plates connected in series and fixed together, and the diameter of the arc-shaped clamping plates is not less than the diameter of the culture bottle.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of the arc-shaped clamping plates in each clamping portion is two, the two arc-shaped clamping plates fixedly connected together are in an M shape, and the lower end of the extension rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connection between the two arc-shaped clamping plates.

[0010] Furthermore, the extension rod includes a horizontal rod and a vertical rod, one end of the horizontal rod is fixedly connected to the left fork arm or the right fork arm on the adjacent side, the other end of the horizontal rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod, and the lower end of the vertical rod is fixedly installed on the outside of the connection between the two arc-shaped splints on the corresponding side.

[0011] Furthermore, the shape of the gripping portion is an inverted L-shape, and the lower side of the vertical section of the gripping portion is fixedly connected to the upper end of the left fork arm or the right fork arm.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting member is installed on the inner side of the vertical rod on the extension rod, and the limiting member is located above the arc-shaped clamping plate. The limiting member can limit the upper end of the culture bottle when the arc-shaped clamping plate clamps the culture bottle.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting member is a V-shaped rod, the middle position of the V-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the extension rod, and the two side edges of the V-shaped rod extend from the limiting member to the top of the two arc-shaped splints on the corresponding sides.

[0014] Furthermore, a spring is provided between the two gripping parts.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] When workers of an edible fungus production enterprise need to immerse the prepared culture bottles in a water tank or bucket to fill them with water, they can hold the gripping parts at the upper ends of the left and right fork arms tightly with their hands, so that the two gripping parts are close to each other. At this time, the left and right fork arms hinged together will synchronously close, and the two clamping parts connected by the extension rod at the lower ends of the left and right fork arms will also approach each other until multiple culture bottles are clamped. Next, the workers can keep a tight grip on the two gripping parts with their hands, lift and move multiple culture bottles to the water tank or bucket in a vertical direction, put down the culture bottles until their bottle mouths are completely immersed in water, and after filling with water, lift and place the multiple culture bottles to the designated area again, release the gripping parts, and the pressure of the two clamping parts on the culture bottles will also be reduced. The workers lift the bottling clamp of this application upwards, and the culture bottles will automatically detach from the clamping parts under their own gravity and remain on the ground. Compared to existing technologies, workers using the bottling clamp of the present application can reduce the amount of bending required to move the culture bottle, thereby saving effort. This saves workers the time required to bend and stand up, effectively improving bottling efficiency. In winter, the clamp and extension rod of the present application replace the worker's hands, which are immersed in water along with the culture bottle, thus protecting the worker's hands in winter.

[0024] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall into the scope of the present application.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1-4 The edible mushroom bottle clamp disclosed by the present application comprises a left fork arm 1 and a right fork arm 2, the middle positions of the left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 are hingedly connected together, the lower ends of the left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 are each provided with a clamping part 3, and the clamping part 3 and the corresponding side of the left fork arm 1 or the right fork arm 2 are connected through an extension rod 4.

[0026] The upper ends of the left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 are each connected with a holding part 5; when the two holding parts 5 are close to each other, the left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 can be driven to be close to each other with the two clamping parts 3, and the number of clamped mushroom bottles 7 is not less than two.

[0027] In the above embodiments, the left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 of the present application are hinged together at their middle positions, so that the two can form a scissors-like structure, and when one end of the left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 are brought close to each other, their other ends will also be brought close synchronously. When the workers of the edible fungus production enterprise need to immerse the prepared culture bottles 7 in a water tank or bucket to fill water, they place the two clamping parts 3 on the outside of the multiple culture bottles 7 that need to be clamped away, and then hold the gripping parts 5 at the upper ends of the left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 by hand, so that the two gripping parts 5 are brought close to each other. At this time, the hinged left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 will close synchronously, and the two clamping parts 3 connected by the extension rod 4 at the lower ends of the left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 will also be brought close to each other until multiple culture bottles 7 are taken away. Once the bottles 7 are clamped, the worker can then hold the two grips 5 tightly with their hands, lift the multiple culture bottles 7 vertically, and move them to a water tank or bucket. They then lower the bottles 7 until their mouths are completely immersed in water. Once the bottles are filled with water, they are lifted again and placed in the designated area. The grips 5 are then released, and the pressure from the two clamps 3 on the bottles 7 is reduced. The worker then lifts the bottling clamp upward, and the bottles 7 automatically release from the clamps 3 under their own weight and remain on the ground. Compared to the prior art, workers can use the bottling clamp of the present application to move the bottles 7 with less bending, thereby saving effort. This significantly improves bottling efficiency by saving the time workers spend bending and standing up. In winter, the clamps 3 and extension rods 4 of the present application replace the worker's hands and are immersed in the water along with the bottles 7, thus protecting the worker's hands in winter. In addition, if reagents that may be harmful to workers' hands are added to the water in the water tank or bucket, the bottling clamp of the present application can prevent workers' hands from coming into contact with these liquids when used. Therefore, in this case, the bottling clamp of the present application can also provide better protection for workers.

[0028] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping portion 3 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped clamping plates 31 connected in series and fixed together, and the diameter of the arc-shaped clamping plates 31 is not less than the diameter of the culture bottle 7.

[0029] In the above embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the contours of the multiple arc-shaped clamping plates 31 constituting the clamping portion 3 can better fit the outer surface of the cylindrical culture bottle 7 when clamping the outside of the cylindrical culture bottle 7, thereby improving the clamping effect. In actual use, a rubber gasket can be bonded and fixed on the inner side of the arc-shaped clamping plate 31, so that the anti-slip property of the arc-shaped clamping plate 31 when clamping the culture bottle 7 will be effectively improved.

[0030] Further, if Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, there are two arc-shaped clamping plates 31 in each clamping portion 3 , and the two arc-shaped clamping plates 31 fixedly connected together are in an M shape. The lower end of the extension rod 4 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connection between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 31 .

[0031] In the above embodiments, the diameter of the commonly used bacterial culture bottles 7 is 8 to 10 cm, and an ordinary person's hand can generally only hold one at a time. The clamping part 3 of the present application is composed of two arc-shaped clamping plates 31, which are M-shaped. Each arc-shaped clamping plate 31 can hold a bacterial culture bottle 7. In this way, when in use, the two clamping parts 3 can hold four bacterial culture bottles 7. When the two clamping parts 3 are close to each other until the four bacterial culture bottles 7 generate sufficient squeezing force between each other, the four bacterial culture bottles 7 can move together with the bottling clamp of the present application. Compared with the manual bottling method, the bottling efficiency of the present application can be significantly improved. However, in actual production, when a culture bottle 7 with a height of about 18 cm and a diameter of about 8 to 10 cm is filled with water, its overall weight will increase significantly. If the number of arc-shaped splints 31 in the clamping part 3 is set to more than three, it will be more laborious for workers to control the bottling clamp of this application to move more than six culture bottles 7 filled with water, and the operation will be not very convenient. Therefore, this application sets the number of arc-shaped splints 31 in the clamping part 3 to two.

[0032] Further, if Figures 1-4 As shown, the extension rod 4 includes a horizontal rod 41 and a vertical rod 42. One end of the horizontal rod 41 is fixedly connected to the left fork arm 1 or the right fork arm 2 on the adjacent side, and the other end of the horizontal rod 41 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod 42. The lower end of the vertical rod 42 is fixedly installed on the outside of the connection between the two arc-shaped splints 31 on the corresponding side.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the extension rod 4 composed of the horizontal rod 41 and the vertical rod 42 in the present application is in an inverted L-shape, so that when the left fork arm 1 and the right fork arm 2 are closed, there is enough space between the two clamping parts 3 connected to the two extension rods 4 to place multiple culture bottles 7.

[0034] Further, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the grip portion 5 is in an inverted L-shape, and the lower side of the vertical section of the grip portion 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the left fork arm 1 or the right fork arm 2 .

[0035] In the above embodiments, setting the gripping portion 5 of the present application into an inverted L-shape can effectively prevent the gripping portion 5 from slipping out of the worker's hand when the worker keeps holding the two gripping portions 5 tightly, compared to setting the gripping portion 5 into a straight line, thereby improving convenience during use.

[0036] Further, if Figures 1-4As shown, a limiting member is installed on the inner side of the vertical rod 42 on the extension rod 4, and the limiting member is located above the arc-shaped clamping plate 31. The limiting member can limit the upper end of the culture bottle 7 when the arc-shaped clamping plate 31 clamps the culture bottle 7.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the portion of the vertical rod 42 on the extension rod 4 is provided with a limiter in the above manner, which can facilitate the worker to quickly clamp the clamping part 3 to the appropriate position of the culture bottle 7 when the worker clamps the culture bottle 7.

[0038] Further, if Figures 1-4 As shown, the limiting member is a V-shaped rod 6, the middle position of the V-shaped rod 6 is fixedly connected to the extension rod 4, and the two side edges of the V-shaped rod 6 extend from the limiting member to the top of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 31 on the corresponding sides.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the two side edges of the V-shaped rod 6 of the present application are arranged in the above manner. When a worker is gripping a culture bottle 7, if the mouth of the culture bottle 7 hits the V-shaped rod 6, the V-shaped rod 6 will prevent the clamping portion 3 from moving further downward. At this time, the worker, upon feeling the resistance, drives the two clamping portions 3 through the gripping portion 5 to clamp the culture bottle 7. This ensures that the clamping portions 3 are clamped at a reasonable position outside the culture bottle 7, preventing the clamping portion 3 from being too high or too low, which would affect the stability of the culture bottle 7 during movement. In addition, the diameter of the V-shaped rod 6 is smaller than the diameter of the mouth of the culture bottle 7. Therefore, when the culture bottle 7 is immersed in water, the V-shaped rod 6 will not affect the flow of water from the water tank or bucket into the culture bottle 7.

[0040] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, a spring 8 is provided between the two gripping parts 5 .

[0041] In the above embodiment, the spring 8 added between the two gripping parts 5 can keep the bottling clamp of the present application in an open state when ready for use, which makes it convenient for workers to quickly clamp the culture bottle 7 and effectively improves the convenience during use.

[0042] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the worker needs to fill the culture bottle 7 with water, he holds the gripping part 5 and moves the entire device to the culture bottle 7 to be moved, and then slowly lowers the clamping part 3 from the outside of four of the culture bottles 7. When the upper end of the culture bottle 7 hits the V-shaped rod 6, the worker uses his hands to grip the two gripping parts 5 tightly, thereby driving the two clamping parts 3 to approach each other. After the arc-shaped splints 31 in the two clamping parts 3 clamp the four culture bottles 7, the worker continues to exert force upward and uses the bottling clamp of this application to lift the four culture bottles 7 together. The worker moves his body to a special bucket or water tank and slowly immerses the four culture bottles 7 in water with the bottling clamp of this application. After filling with water, he lifts it up again and moves it to the designated area, then slowly puts down the four culture bottles 7, relaxes his hands holding the gripping part 5, lifts the entire device upward, and the culture bottles 7 automatically fall to the ground under the action of their own weight. Compared with the existing technology, it can not only effectively improve the efficiency of bottling, but also protect the workers' hands in winter, preventing them from getting frozen due to contact with ice water.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
