Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inoculation, and in particular to a multifunctional inoculation device for edible fungi inoculation. Background Technology

[0002] The edible fungus inoculation device is a key piece of equipment used in the cultivation and production of edible fungi. Its main function is to inoculate the spores onto the culture medium under aseptic conditions in order to promote the growth and reproduction of the spores.

[0003] During inoculation, liquid bacterial solution is injected into the culture medium for inoculation. The existing packaging machine's discharge hopper has six square outlets, which are connected to the outlets inside the flange at the front of the packaging machine's storage hopper and then to the external inoculation tank. The external inoculation pipe forms a 90-degree angle when passing through the flange and then through the outlet inside the inoculation tank. This often causes blockage at the 90-degree angle inside the flange when the liquid bacterial pellets are too large or the bacterial solution pressure is insufficient. Consequently, the bacterial solution cannot reach the culture medium effectively for inoculation. When the outlets are blocked, they need to be manually cleared continuously with a thin, long tool while the bacteria are present, greatly increasing the chance of contamination and affecting the effectiveness of the inoculation device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the six square inoculation outlets inside the discharge hopper of existing packaging machines are connected to the inoculation outlets inside the flange at the front end of the packaging machine's storage hopper, and then to the inoculation tank outside the flange. When the external inoculation pipe passes through the inside of the flange and then turns to the inoculation outlet inside the discharge hopper, it forms a 90-degree angle. This causes the inoculation to accumulate and block at the 90-degree angle inside the flange when the liquid inoculation pellets are too large or the liquid pressure is insufficient. Consequently, the inoculation cannot reach the surface of the culture medium for inoculation effectively, thus affecting the performance of the inoculation device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a multifunctional inoculation device for edible fungi inoculation, comprising: a control device for controlling the movement of liquid bacterial solution; a first dispensing cylinder and a second dispensing cylinder for controlling the diversion of liquid bacterial solution; a bagging machine for transporting the culture medium to the outlet of the bacterial solution for inoculation; an inoculating device for installation and fixing on the surface of the storage silo via a mounting flange, and having several inlet tubes for outputting bacterial solution for inoculation; the joints of the inlet tubes having a gentle rounded angle to prevent uneven output pressure and blockage; and an inoculating tube connecting the first dispensing cylinder or the second dispensing cylinder to the inoculating device, allowing the bacterial solution to reach the inside of the inoculating device through the first dispensing cylinder or the second dispensing cylinder. The inoculation tubes must be installed in a crisscross pattern, with the tubes controlled by the left and right inoculation tanks arranged evenly and alternately. This is so that if one inoculation tank malfunctions, the inoculation lines formed by the culture medium on the bag surface by the other inoculation tank can still form a uniform circumferential arrangement.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when inoculating edible fungi spawn bags, the spawn solution is placed inside the control device, first reaching the first and second dispensing cylinders for diversion, and then moving through the inoculation tube into the inoculator. At the same time, the culture medium inside the bagging machine moves and is transported synchronously, and then interacts with the spawn solution inside the inoculation tube during bagging and forms a single unit to inoculate edible fungi.

[0007] Preferably, the control device includes: a support frame for supporting and placing the components of the control device and the first dispensing rod and the second dispensing cylinder; a pump for controlling the movement of the bacterial solution, enabling the bacterial solution to be moved for inoculation; and a first storage tank and a second storage tank, which are used independently and can be used to simultaneously fill and bag two different types of bacterial solutions for inoculation.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: during inoculation, the bacterial solution is placed inside the first or second storage tank fixedly connected to the surface of the support, and then the pump on the fixed support is started so that the bacterial solution inside the first or second storage tank can be moved to the first or second dispensing cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the first dispensing cylinder includes several first valves, which individually control several outlets of the first dispensing cylinder. The second dispensing cylinder includes several second valves, which individually control several outlets of the second dispensing cylinder. The first and second valves are preferably manual valves. Alternatively, depending on the actual installation situation, the valves can also be controlled by solenoid valves.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting several first valves and second valves at several outlets on the first and second dispensing cylinders, operators can flexibly control the amount of different bacterial solutions reaching the culture medium for inoculation according to the process requirements of the variety characteristics and the urgency of the order.

[0011] Preferably, the bagging machine includes: a storage bin for supporting and mounting the components to be bagged; a feeder disposed on the storage bin to push the sawdust culture medium inside, allowing the culture medium to better reach the bacterial solution for inoculation; a bearing seat disposed on the storage bin; a pulley disposed on one side of the bearing seat to facilitate the rotation of the belt connection; a rotary seal for sealing the rotating end point; a main shaft driven by the pulley; blades disposed on the surface of the main shaft to move the culture medium; and an inoculation head disposed on the side of the main shaft away from the storage bin for inoculating the bacterial solution.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the culture medium is moved and transported, the culture medium is transported into the storage bin of the bagging machine. At this time, the feeder set inside the storage bin moves the culture medium so that the culture medium is better positioned at the main shaft. At this time, the belt connected to the pulley on one side of the bearing seat rotates, which in turn causes the spiral blades fixedly connected to the main shaft to rotate. Then, the culture medium is driven by the spiral blades to the inoculation head fixed on one side of the main shaft for discharge.

[0013] Preferably, the inoculum injector includes a mounting flange, which is connected to the storage silo flange;

[0014] An outer sleeve, wherein the outer sleeve is disposed on one side of the mounting flange;

[0015] Several live joints are provided on the side of the outer sleeve near the storage hopper;

[0016] The inlet tube is connected to a connector on one side, with the inlet and outlet points close to the inoculation head, for dispensing bacterial solution for inoculation.

[0017] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: after the bacterial solution passes through several first valves on the first dispensing cylinder or the second valve on the second dispensing cylinder, it will reach the inside of the inoculation tube. At this time, the other end of the inoculation tube is detachably connected to the connector. Then, the bacterial solution passes through the connector to the detachably connected inoculation tube. Then, the bacterial solution passes through the inoculation tube to the inoculation head for discharge. At this time, the culture medium inside the outer sleeve will also be discharged synchronously from the inoculation head.

[0018] Preferably, the outer sleeve has a plurality of grooves on its surface, the number of grooves on the outer sleeve surface being adapted to the number of live joints, the size of the plurality of inlet tubes being adapted to the size of the grooves on the outer sleeve surface, and the inlet tubes being snapped into the grooves on the surface of the storage silo sleeve.

[0019] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is that when using the inlet tube, the inlet tube can be snapped into the groove on the surface of the outer sleeve, thus fixing the inlet tube in place and preventing the inlet tube from changing position due to force at its extension and outlet, which would affect the effectiveness of the inlet tube.

[0020] Preferably, several of the inoculation tubes can be simultaneously connected and fixed to the inoculation tubes connected to the first or second dispensing cylinder using a flexible connector.

[0021] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: they enable fancy inoculation, allowing different edible fungi varieties to be inoculated into a single spawn bag simultaneously, resulting in different types of mushrooms and providing the market with more choices.

[0022] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] By setting several inlet pipes on the outer sleeve, and without passing through the flange core of existing technology for infusion, the pipes are kept unobstructed and will not cause bacterial blockage.

[0024] The use of a live connector for independent and sealed connection of the inlet tube eliminates the possibility of bacterial leakage due to increased pressure, leading to unexplained infections.

[0025] Since the inoculator consists of two independent dispensing cylinders, the first and second dispensing cylinders, if one dispensing cylinder malfunctions, the other dispensing cylinder can work independently at any time, without affecting the daily production progress.

[0026] The first and second dispensing tanks on the left and right sides of the inoculation device can be connected to different strains of bacteria cultivated in the front-end liquid culture tanks. For example, the first culture tank can be used for one strain, while the second culture tank can be used for another strain. The strain can be switched at any time as needed without separate pipeline sterilization and delay treatment, achieving seamless connection for strain conversion.

[0027] It allows for various inoculation methods, enabling different edible fungi varieties to be inoculated into a single spawn bag simultaneously, resulting in different types of mushrooms and providing the market with more choices. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention. Therefore, they only show the components relevant to the present invention and should not be used to limit the relevant embodiments of this solution.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] Figures 1 to 6The multifunctional inoculation device for edible fungi includes: a control device 1 for controlling the movement of liquid bacterial solution; a first dispensing cylinder 2 and a second dispensing cylinder 3 for controlling the flow of liquid bacterial solution; a bagging machine 4 for transporting the culture medium to the outlet of the bacterial solution for inoculation; an inoculating device 42 for mounting and fixing to the surface of a storage bin 41 via a mounting flange 421, and having several inoculating pipes 426 for outputting bacterial solution for inoculation; and an inoculating pipe 5 for connecting the first dispensing cylinder 2 or the second dispensing cylinder 3 to the inoculating device 42, allowing the bacterial solution to reach the inside of the inoculating device 42 through the first dispensing cylinder 2 or the second dispensing cylinder 3. When inoculating edible fungi, the inoculum is placed inside the control device 1, then flows into the first dispensing cylinder 2 and the second dispensing cylinder 3 for diversion, and then moves through the inoculation tube 5 into the inoculator 42. At this time, the culture medium inside the bagging machine 4 moves and is discharged together with the inoculum in the inoculation tube 426 to inoculate edible fungi. In addition, the inoculation tube 5 must be installed in a cross-shaped and uniformly alternating manner according to the inoculation tubes controlled by the left and right inoculation cylinders. The purpose is to ensure that if one inoculation cylinder fails, the inoculation lines formed by the culture medium on the bag surface by the inoculation cylinder on the other side can still form a uniformly arranged circumferential pattern.

[0039] Figures 1 to 6 The control device 1 shown includes: a support 11, which supports and places the components of the control device 1 and the first dispensing rod and the second dispensing cylinder 3; a pump 12, which controls the movement of the bacterial solution, allowing the bacterial solution to be moved for inoculation; a first storage tank 13 and a second storage tank 14, which are used independently and can simultaneously hold two different types of bacterial solutions. During inoculation, the bacterial solution is placed inside the first storage tank 13 or the second storage tank 14, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the support 11. Then, the pump 12 on the support 11 is activated, allowing the bacterial solution inside the first storage tank 13 or the second storage tank 14 to be moved into the first dispensing cylinder 2 or the second dispensing cylinder 3.

[0040] Figures 1 to 6 The first dispensing cylinder 2 shown includes several first valves 21, each controlling one of its outlets individually. The second dispensing cylinder 3 includes several second valves 31, each controlling one of its outlets independently. By using several first valves 21 and second valves 31 at the outlets of the first and second dispensing cylinders 2 and 3, operators can better control the amount of bacterial solution reaching the culture medium for inoculation. In this design, all valves are manual valves; however, depending on the actual installation, solenoid valves can also be used for control.

[0041] Figures 1 to 6 The bagging machine 4 shown includes: a storage bin 41, which supports and mounts the components of the bagging machine; a feeder 43, which is mounted on the storage bin 41 to push the culture medium inside, so that the culture medium can better reach the bacterial solution for inoculation; a bearing seat 44, which is mounted on the storage bin 41; a pulley 45, which is mounted on one side of the bearing seat 44 to facilitate the rotation of the belt connection; a rotary seal 46, which seals the rotating end point; a main shaft 424, which is rotated by the pulley 45; blades 425, which are mounted on the surface of the main shaft 424 to move the culture medium; and an inoculation head 423, which is mounted on the side of the main shaft 424 away from the storage bin 41 to inoculate the bacterial solution. When moving the culture medium, the culture medium is placed inside the storage bin 41 of the bagging machine. At this time, the feeder 43 set inside the storage bin 41 moves the culture medium so that it reaches the main shaft 424 better. At this time, the belt connected to the pulley 45 on one side of the bearing seat 44 rotates, which in turn causes the main shaft 424 and the blades 425 fixedly connected to the surface of the main shaft 424 to rotate. Then, the culture medium is driven by the blades 425 to the inoculation head 423 fixed on one side of the main shaft 424 for discharge.

[0042] Figures 1 to 6 The inoculation device 42 shown includes a mounting flange 421, which is connected to the flange of the storage bin 41; an outer sleeve 422, which is located on one side of the mounting flange 421; several union joints 427, which are located on the side of the outer sleeve 422 near the storage bin 41; and an inoculation tube 426, one side of which is connected to the union joint 427, with the inlet and outlet points near the inoculation head 423 for discharging bacterial solution for inoculation. After the bacterial solution passes through several first valves 21 on the first dispensing cylinder 2 or the second valve 31 on the second dispensing cylinder 3, it reaches the inside of the inoculation tube 5. At this time, the other end of the inoculation tube 5 is detachably connected to the union joint 427. Then, the bacterial solution passes through the union joint 427 to the detachably connected inoculation tube 426, and then passes through the inoculation tube 426 to the inoculation head 423 for discharge. At this time, the culture medium inside the outer sleeve 422 is also discharged from the inoculation head 423. If the inlet tube 426 wears out after prolonged use, it can be replaced by simply removing the union connector 427 and the outer sleeve 422. This design is more ingenious, reasonable, and convenient for replacement and maintenance.

[0043] Figures 1 to 6The outer sleeve 422 shown has several grooves on its surface. The number of grooves on the surface of the outer sleeve 422 matches the number of live joints. The size of several inlet tubes 426 matches the size of the grooves on the surface of the outer sleeve 422, and the inlet tubes 426 are snapped into the grooves on the surface of the storage hopper 41 sleeve. When using the inlet tubes 426, they can be snapped into the grooves on the surface of the outer sleeve 422 to fix their position, preventing the outlet of the inlet tubes 426 from changing position due to force, which would affect the effectiveness of the inlet tubes 426.

[0044] Figures 1 to 6 The several inoculation tubes 426 shown can be simultaneously connected and fixed to the inoculation tubes 5 connected to the first dispensing cylinder 2 or the second dispensing cylinder 3 via the connectors 427. This allows for fancy inoculation, enabling different edible fungi varieties to be inoculated into one spawn bag at the same time, and different mushrooms to grow simultaneously on one spawn bag, providing more choices for the market.

[0045] Working principle: When inoculating edible fungi, the inoculum is placed inside the first storage tank 13 or the second storage tank 14 fixedly connected to the surface of the support 11. Then, the pump 12 on the fixed support 11 is started, allowing the inoculum inside the first storage tank 13 or the second storage tank 14 to move to the first distribution cylinder 2 or the second distribution cylinder 3. Inside the first distribution cylinder 2 or the second distribution cylinder 3, the inoculum is divided by the first valve 21 and the second valve 31, and then reaches the inoculation tube 5. At this time, the other end of the inoculation tube 5 is detachably connected to the connector 427, and the inoculum then flows through the connector 427 to... The inoculum is detachably connected to the inoculation tube 426. The inoculum solution is then discharged through the inoculation tube 426 to the inoculation head 423. At this time, the culture medium is placed inside the storage bin 41 of the bagging machine. The feeder 43, which is set inside the storage bin 41, moves the culture medium so that it reaches the main shaft 424. At this time, the belt connected to the pulley 45 on one side of the bearing seat 44 rotates, which causes the main shaft 424 and the blades 425 fixedly connected to the surface of the main shaft 424 to rotate. The culture medium is then driven by the blades 425 to the inoculation head 423 fixed on one side of the main shaft 424 for discharge. Then, the edible fungus bags are bagged and inoculated simultaneously.

[0046] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims. All technical solutions that are general modifications within the scope of this design should be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
