Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi production technology, specifically to a fungi bag perforation machine. Background Technology

[0002] Before inoculating the spawn bag with mycelium, holes are usually made on the side of the bag to ensure the mycelium receives sufficient oxygen for growth. Currently, the commonly used method in the industry is to create holes by directly inserting a punch into the bag. While this method can create the desired holes, it has a significant drawback: the circumference of the holes is often irregular after the punch penetrates the bag, and the depth of the holes is difficult to control. These problems affect the uniform distribution and germination of the mycelium within the bag, thus negatively impacting the subsequent growth process.

[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

It has a blade at one end along its length. The moving drive mechanism is configured to drive the punch to move along its length so that the punch can be inserted into the spawn bag. The rotary drive mechanism is connected to the punch and is configured to drive the punch to rotate during the insertion of the punch into the spawn bag, so that the blade can cut off the outer layer of material on the surface of the spawn bag and cut the culture medium inside the spawn bag, thus separating the culture medium inside and outside the cutting area.

[0010] The top-insertion mechanism includes a top shaft and a top-insertion drive mechanism. The top shaft is movably disposed within the through hole. The top-insertion drive mechanism is connected to the top shaft and configured to drive the top shaft to move along the length direction of the through hole to form a hole in the mushroom bag.

[0017] In some embodiments, the punch is cylindrical, and the cutting edge is an annular cutting edge that surrounds the through hole.

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the fungal bag perforation machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] When this mushroom bag perforation machine is working, the perforation mechanism drives the perforator to insert into the mushroom bag via a moving drive mechanism. During this process, the rotation drive mechanism drives the perforator to rotate, so that when the blade contacts the surface of the mushroom bag, it cuts the outer layer material corresponding to the hole and the culture medium, separating the culture medium inside the hole from the outer culture medium. Next, the ejector mechanism drives the ejector shaft through the through hole via the ejector drive mechanism, pressing the separated culture medium in to form the hole, and pushing the cut outer layer material into the hole. Then, the ejector shaft and the perforator withdraw from the hole, completing the perforation process. Because the culture medium inside the hole is pre-cut before being pressed in, it is easier for the ejector shaft to form the hole in the mushroom bag, and the shape of the hole is more rounded. The depth of the hole can be controlled by the distance the ejector shaft extends into the mushroom bag via the ejector drive mechanism, making the depth of the hole more precise. The outer layer material on the surface of the mushroom bag corresponding to the hole is cut off by the blade and pushed into the hole by the ejector shaft, which solves the problem of the hole being blocked by the opening and improves the air permeability of the hole.

[0021] Equally important, the entire drilling process is completed automatically by the machine without human intervention, which greatly improves work efficiency and ease of operation.

[0022] As can be seen, the mushroom bag perforation machine of this utility model can make holes in the mushroom bag through the perforation mechanism and the top-insertion mechanism, and improve the roundness and air permeability of the holes. At the same time, it is convenient to control the depth of the holes, which is conducive to ensuring the normal growth of the fungi. It also has the advantages of being easy to use and having high work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] When inoculating spawn bags with spawn, holes need to be made on the surface of the spawn bags. The holes are usually made by using a punching needle. Punching needles can be solid or hollow. The holes are made by piercing the membrane with pressure. The circumference of the holes is irregular and the depth of the holes is uncontrollable, which affects the germination and growth of the spawn.

[0035] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a pore-forming machine for mushroom bags. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the pore-forming machine for the mushroom bags in the embodiment. Figure 2 This is a front view of the pore-forming machine for the mushroom bags in the embodiment. Figure 3 for Figure 2 Sectional view of section A in the middle. Figure 4 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of region B in the middle.

[0036] This embodiment of a fungal bag perforation machine includes: a frame 1 and a perforation mechanism 2 and an insertion mechanism 3 disposed on the frame 1.

[0037] The punching mechanism 2 is used to punch holes 40 in the mushroom bag 4 and cut the outer layer material 41 at the corresponding position of the holes 40. The punching mechanism 2 includes a puncher 21, a rotary drive mechanism 22 and a moving drive mechanism 23. The puncher 21 has a through hole 201 extending along the length direction and a blade 202 at one end along the length direction. The moving drive mechanism 23 is configured to drive the puncher 21 to move along the length direction to insert into the mushroom bag 4. The rotary drive mechanism 22 is connected to the puncher 21 and is configured to drive the puncher 21 to rotate during the insertion of the puncher 21 into the mushroom bag 4, so that the blade 202 cuts off the outer layer material on the surface of the mushroom bag 4 and cuts the culture medium inside the mushroom bag 4, so that the culture medium inside and outside the cutting area is separated. For example, the outer layer material 41 is the plastic bag of the mushroom bag 4, and the cut outer layer material 41 is a circular plastic sheet.

[0038] The top-insertion mechanism 3 includes a top shaft 31 and a top-insertion drive mechanism 32. The top shaft 31 is movably disposed in the through hole 201. The top-insertion drive mechanism 32 is connected to the top shaft 31 and is configured to drive the top shaft 31 to move along the length direction of the through hole 201 to form a hole. The depth of the hole can be controlled by the distance that the top shaft 31 is driven into the mushroom bag by the top-insertion drive mechanism 32.

[0039] When the above-described spawn bag hole-making machine is working, the punching mechanism 2 drives the puncher 21 to be inserted into the spawn bag 4 via the moving drive mechanism 23. During this process, the rotation drive mechanism 22 drives the puncher 21 to rotate, so that the blade 202 cuts out the outer layer material and the culture medium on the surface of the spawn bag 4 when it contacts the surface of the spawn bag 4, thus separating the culture medium inside the hole 40 from the culture medium on the outside. Subsequently, the push-in mechanism 3 drives the top shaft 31 to pass through the through hole 201 via the push-in drive mechanism 32, pressing the separated culture medium into the hole 40. The push-in process is usually accompanied by squeezing the culture medium inside the spawn bag. Then the top shaft 31 and the puncher 21 withdraw from the hole 40, completing the punching process. The culture medium inside the holes 40 is pre-cut before being pressed in, making it easier to be dispersed and compressed by the top shaft. This facilitates the formation of holes 40 within the mushroom bag, resulting in more rounded shapes and more precise depths. Because the surface of the mushroom bag 4 is cut off at the openings opposite the holes 40 by the blade 202 and then pushed into the holes 40 by the top shaft 31, the problem of the holes 40 being blocked by the openings is solved, improving the air permeability of the holes 40. It can be seen that the mushroom bag perforation machine described above can create holes 40 in the mushroom bag 4 through the perforation mechanism 2 and the pushing mechanism 3, improving the roundness and air permeability of the holes 40. It also facilitates control of the hole depth, thus ensuring the normal growth of the spawn. Furthermore, it offers the advantages of ease of use and high work efficiency.

[0040] For example, see Figure 4 As shown, the aforementioned punch 21 is cylindrical, and the blade 202 is a circular annular blade. When the top shaft 31 forms holes in the mushroom bag, it simultaneously pushes the cut outer layer material into the holes 40. The circular annular blade 202 ensures that the cut outer layer material remains inside the punch 21, thus allowing it to be simultaneously pushed into the holes 40 as the top shaft 31 moves along its length, preventing the outer layer material from scattering to the outside. Traditional methods of handling cut material, such as using a wind-powered device for suction or manual cleaning, can significantly improve cleaning efficiency and reduce cleaning costs.

[0041] To drill multiple holes 40 simultaneously, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the outer layer material 41 corresponding to each hole 40 is cut. At least two punches 21 are provided, the specific number depending on the required number of holes 40. The rotary drive mechanism 22 includes a rotary motor 203, a drive wheel 204, and driven wheels 205. Each punch 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11 and fixedly connected to a driven wheel 205. The drive wheel 204 and each driven wheel 205 are sequentially connected via a belt 206 or chain. The frame 1 includes a mounting plate 11, on which the rotary motor 203 is mounted and driven by the drive wheel 204. With this configuration, when the rotary drive mechanism 22 is working, the rotary motor 203 drives the drive wheel 204 to rotate, and the drive wheel 204 simultaneously drives each driven wheel 205 to rotate via the belt 206 or chain, thereby driving each punch 21 to rotate and simultaneously cutting off the outer layer material 41 corresponding to each hole 40, improving processing efficiency and simplifying the rotary drive mechanism 22.

[0042] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, each punch 21 is evenly distributed along the length of the mushroom bag 4, thus improving the uniformity of the hole distribution 40.

[0043] For example, see Figure 3 As shown, the rotary drive mechanism 22 also includes a tensioning wheel 207 for tensioning the belt 206 or chain, wherein the tensioning wheel 207 and the driven wheel 205 are rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 11.

[0044] To simultaneously insert the cut outer layer material 41 into each hole 40, refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the insertion mechanism 3 also includes a connecting plate 33, and the number of top shafts 31 is the same as that of the punch 21, at least two, and both are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 33; the frame 1 includes a mounting plate 11, and the insertion drive mechanism 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 33 and is mounted on the mounting plate 11. When the insertion mechanism 3 is working, the insertion drive mechanism 32 is supported by the mounting plate 11, drives the connecting plate 33 to move, and then drives each top shaft 31 to move, simultaneously inserting each outer layer material 41 into each hole 40.

[0045] For example, the push-in drive mechanism 32 is a linear drive mechanism.

[0046] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the jacking drive mechanism 32 is a cylinder, and one is provided at each end of the connecting plate 33 to improve the stability of the movement of the connecting plate 33 and the jacking shaft 31.

[0047] In one embodiment of the above-mentioned moving drive mechanism 23 driving the punch 21 to insert into the mushroom bag 4, see reference. Figure 1As shown, the frame 1 includes a fixed frame 10, on which a mounting plate 11 is movably mounted. A moving drive mechanism 23 is mounted on the fixed frame 10 and connected to the mounting plate 11. The moving drive mechanism 23 is configured to drive the mounting plate 11 to move, so that the punch 21 can be inserted into the mushroom bag 4. During the movement of the mounting plate 11 driven by the moving drive mechanism 23, the punch 21, the rotating drive mechanism 22, and the inserting mechanism 3 on the mounting plate 11 move synchronously, which helps to reduce the driving stroke of the inserting drive mechanism 32 and ensures that each action is performed in an orderly manner.

[0048] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the moving drive mechanism 23 is a cylinder, the cylinder body is fixed on the fixed frame 10, and its piston rod is connected to the mounting plate 11.

[0049] To secure the mycelium pack 4 during the punching process and improve punching accuracy, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the mushroom bag punching machine also includes a pressure plate assembly 5, which includes guide posts 51, springs 52, and a pressure plate 53. At least two guide posts 51 are provided, arranged in parallel, and all are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11. The pressure plate 53 is slidably sleeved with each guide post 51, used to press down and fix the mushroom bag 4 during the insertion of the punch 21 into the mushroom bag 4. The spring 52 is sleeved around the guide posts 51 and located between the mounting plate 11 and the pressure plate 53, used to drive the pressure plate 53 to reset. When the mounting plate 11 moves towards the mushroom bag 4, the pressure plate 53 first contacts the mushroom bag 4, and gradually presses and fixes the mushroom bag 4 through the elastic force generated by the compression spring 52.

[0050] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the punch 21 is located above the center of the pressure plate 53, and the pressure plate 53 has a clearance hole 500 for the punch 21.

[0051] To improve the stability of the movement of mounting plate 11, please refer to... Figure 1 As shown, the fixing frame 10 includes a base plate 12, a top plate 13, and a plurality of support shafts 14 fixed between the base plate 12 and the top plate 13. The mounting plate 11 is slidably connected to each support shaft 14 through a sliding sleeve. The pressure plate 53 presses down on the mushroom bag 4 during the insertion of the punch 21 into the mushroom bag 4, so that the mushroom bag 4 is fixed between the pressure plate 53 and the base plate 13.

[0052] In one embodiment where the aforementioned punch 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a bearing mounting seat 15, and a bearing 16 is provided inside the bearing mounting seat 15. The punch 21 is connected to the bearing 16.

[0053] For example, the above technical solutions can also incorporate sensors, such as position sensors and pressure sensors, as needed. Position sensors, used to monitor the positions of the punch 21 and the top shaft 31 in real time, can be mounted on the frame 1. During the insertion and withdrawal of the punch 21 from the substrate bag, the position sensor can accurately measure its movement distance and position, thereby ensuring that the punch 21 can accurately insert into the predetermined position within the substrate bag. Similarly, during the pushing and retraction of the top shaft 31 into the substrate bag, the position sensor can also monitor its position in real time, ensuring that the top shaft 31 can accurately form holes 40 within the substrate bag. Pressure sensors are used to monitor the resistance encountered by the punch 21 and the top shaft 31 during the hole-making process. When the punch 21 cuts the outer material and internal culture medium of the substrate bag, or when the top shaft 31 is pushed into the substrate bag to form holes 40, it will encounter certain resistance. By monitoring the magnitude of these resistances, the effectiveness of cutting and pushing can be determined, and whether the hole-making parameters (such as the rotational speed and movement speed of the punch 21) need to be adjusted.

[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
