The lifting inoculation mechanism 40 is mainly used for inoculating liquid strain. The lifting inoculation mechanism 40 can adopt the technology in the patent CN109418023A edible fungus liquid inoculation method and device. The applicant does not describe it in detail here. The positioning mechanism 30 in this application mainly stops the strain frame on the conveying belt 20. At the same time, the lifting inoculation mechanism 40 inoculates the fungus stick on the strain frame. For this purpose, it can adopt the traditional stopping rod structure or the mechanical gripper structure.

[0028] The fungus automatic inoculation equipment utilizes the conveying belt 20 to convey the fungus frame, is favorable for inoculating multiple fungus sticks at one time, utilizes a pair of positioning mechanisms 30 to cooperate with each other to clamp the fungus frame conveyed on the conveying belt 20, so that the lifting inoculation mechanism 40 is favorable for inserting and inoculating the fungus stick on the fungus frame, and the accuracy of inoculation is ensured.

[0031] Referring to Figure 3 In an improved embodiment, in order to enable all the inoculation tubes 43 to be accurately inserted into the corresponding fungus sticks during the process of the sliding plate 42 descending, in an embodiment of the present application, a plurality of positioning blocks 48 are arranged on the outer periphery of the lower surface of the sliding plate 42.

[0034] Among them, in the embodiment, the suction cover 53 is actually regarded as an extension of the sliding plate 42, and can be fixed on the bottom surface of the sliding plate 42 by screws. Of course, in actual use, in order to improve the suction effect, the whole suction cover 53 is uniformly provided with a plurality of suction holes, and then a suction cavity structure is formed at the back of the suction cover 53, all the suction holes are communicated with the suction cavity structure. The inoculation tube 43 movably penetrates through the side wall of the suction cavity structure, and the two are connected by a sealing ring to increase the sealing property.

Of course, in some improved embodiments, the buffer 34 can also be a spring structure, which can directly connect the baffle 32 and the U-shaped frame 33.

[0038] In the above improved embodiment, in order to facilitate control, a position sensor is arranged in front of the positioning mechanism 30 of the rack 10, and the position sensor is electrically connected with the positioning mechanism 30 and the lifting inoculation mechanism 40. Among them, when the position sensor detects that the strain frame conveyed on the conveying belt 20 enters the preset position, the position sensor controls the telescopic cylinder 31 on the positioning mechanism 30 to extend, stops and positions the strain frame, and then the lifting motor 46 on the lifting inoculation mechanism 40 descends, and the peristaltic pump 45 is started to supply material.

Of course, in order to reduce the control difficulty, the suction fan 51 can be in an always-on state, and the conveying belt 20 can also be designed in an always-on state. The above design can be selected according to the actual use requirement.
