Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mushroom substrate turning device, belonging to the field of mushroom substrate technology. Background Technology

[0002] Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of a class of large fungi. Widely distributed in nature, with numerous species, mushrooms possess significant ecological, economic, and nutritional value. Mushroom substrate is the material basis for mushroom cultivation, providing essential nutrients, water, air, and support for mushroom growth, forming a crucial environment for their development. Commonly used mushroom substrates are mainly prepared by fermenting a mixture of crop straw, sawdust, cottonseed hulls, mushroom residue, and livestock manure in a specific ratio. The applicant discovered during mushroom substrate fermentation that the increased temperature of the compost pile during fermentation accelerates moisture evaporation. When the pile is relatively dry, it is necessary to replenish moisture appropriately while turning it over. The moisture content must be maintained above 50% throughout the fermentation process. However, currently, moisture is replenished manually through water pipes, and stirring is required after replenishment. These operations make the turning and fermentation process inconvenient, necessitating further research and improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above, this utility model provides a mushroom substrate turning device to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a mushroom substrate turning device, comprising:

[0005] A turning unit includes a turning frame, a turning cylinder installed at the bottom of the turning frame, and turning plates installed on the turning cylinder;

[0006] The water replenishment unit includes a water replenishment channel inside the turning drum, nozzles spaced apart on the turning drum and connected to the water replenishment channel, a rotary joint installed at one end of the turning drum, and a water replenishment pipe connected to the rotary joint.

[0007] In one example, the turning rack includes two side plates and a top plate installed between the tops of the two side plates, the turning cylinder is rotatably installed between the two side plates, and a drive mechanism is installed on the outer side of one of the side plates, the drive mechanism being connected to the turning cylinder.

[0008] In one example, limit wheels are installed on both sides of the lower part of the side plate, and the bottom position of the turning plate is higher than the bottom position of the limit wheels.

[0009] In one example, a support arm is provided at a distance on the outer side of one of the side plates, and two support holes are provided at a distance on the support arm so that the lifting arm of the forklift can be inserted to lift.

[0010] In one example, the turning plate includes turning blades and spiral blades, the spiral blades being installed at both ends of the turning cylinder, and the turning blades being installed between the two spiral blades.

[0011] In one example, the water supply pipe is connected to a water source device, which includes a water supply tank and a water pump. The water supply tank is installed on the turning rack, and the water pump is installed inside the water supply tank. The outlet of the water pump is connected to the water supply pipe.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: With the water replenishment unit, when the turning drum rotates, the turning blades can turn the mushroom substrate, and at the same time the nozzles can spray water onto the mushroom substrate. Water replenishment can be carried out at the same time as the turning drum turns the substrate, eliminating the need for separate water replenishment later. In addition, the turning drum turns the substrate simultaneously after water replenishment, making the water replenishment more uniform. This greatly simplifies the turning and water replenishment operation, improves work efficiency, and reduces labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a mushroom substrate turning device, which includes a turning unit and a water replenishment unit.

[0024] The turning unit includes a turning frame 11, a turning cylinder 12 installed at the lower part of the turning frame 11, and turning plates 13 installed on the turning cylinder 12. The water replenishment unit includes a water replenishment channel (not shown, the interior is along the length of the turning cylinder 12) opened inside the turning cylinder 12, a plurality of nozzles 21 spaced apart on the turning cylinder 12 and communicating with the water replenishment channel, a rotary joint 22 installed at one end of the turning cylinder 12, and a water replenishment pipe 23 connected to the rotary joint 22. Water can enter the water replenishment channel through the water replenishment pipe 23 and the rotary joint 22 and be sprayed out from the plurality of nozzles 21.

[0025] When the turning cylinder 12 rotates, the turning plate 13 can turn the mushroom substrate, and the nozzle 21 can spray water onto the mushroom substrate. Water can be added while the turning cylinder 12 is turning the substrate, without the need for separate watering later. After watering, the turning cylinder 12 turns the substrate simultaneously, making the watering more uniform.

[0026] For ease of operation, the turning frame 11 includes two side plates 111 and a top plate 112 installed between the tops of the two side plates 111. The turning cylinder 12 is rotatably installed between the two side plates 111, and a drive mechanism 14 is installed on the outer side of one side plate 111. The drive mechanism 14 can be a drive motor, which can drive the turning cylinder 12 to rotate.

[0027] For ease of operation, limit wheels 113 are installed on the lower sides of the two side plates 111. The bottom position of the turning plate 13 is higher than the bottom position of the limit wheel 113, so that the turning plate 13 will not scrape the ground when the turning frame 11 moves forward on the ground.

[0028] For ease of operation, two support arms 114 are spaced apart on the outer side of one side plate 111, and two support holes 115 are spaced apart on the two support arms 114 so that the lifting arm of the forklift can be inserted to lift. Thus, a forklift can be used as a power source to move the stacking rack 11 without the need to purchase a dedicated stacking vehicle. It has the advantages of simple structure, high operating efficiency, low cost and strong practicality.

[0029] For ease of operation, the turning plate 13 includes a turning blade 131 and a spiral blade 132. The spiral blade 132 is installed at both ends of the turning cylinder 12, and the turning blade 131 is installed between the two spiral blades 132. When the turning cylinder 12 rotates, the spiral blades 132 on both sides can guide the mushroom substrate on both sides to the inward side, while the turning blade 131 can grab and turn the substrate.

[0030] For ease of operation, the water supply pipe 23 is connected to the water source equipment, which includes a water supply tank 24 and a water pump. The water supply tank 24 is installed on the turning frame 11, and the water pump is installed inside the water supply tank 24. The outlet of the water pump is connected to the water supply pipe 23, so that the water source equipment can move forward synchronously with the turning frame 11 without the need for additional pipe-pulling operation to draw water.

[0031] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
