Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of edible mushroom production, in particular to a secondary propulsion mechanism for a mushroom basket racking machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Edible mushrooms are rich in polysaccharides, amino acids, trace elements and other bioactive components, and their cultivation industry has become an important part of modern agriculture in China. With the popularization of factory cultivation mode, the application demand of automation equipment in the links of mushroom basket transfer and racking is increasing. However, the existing automation equipment still has technical bottlenecks in dealing with complex working conditions, especially in the precise pushing of mushroom baskets.

[0003] For example, the patent number 201910499392.3 of a full-automatic two-way mushroom basket racking system previously applied by our company realizes the two-way pushing function through a reciprocating pushing mechanism. The mechanism mainly consists of guide rods, support plates, guide frames, push plates, sliding rails, reducers and reversible motors, and its core transmission logic is: the motor drives the reducer to swing the rocker, which, through the cooperation of the connecting rod and the sliding rail, makes the guide frame reciprocate along the guide rod, thereby pushing the mushroom basket to move in two directions. Although the existing reciprocating pushing mechanism can realize two-way pushing, the guide frame can only move linearly along the single-axis guide rod, and the pushing stroke completely depends on the length of the guide rod, which limits the pushing range. If the gap between the racking machine and the cultivation rack is large, the mushroom basket may not be pushed in place, which requires manual intervention to correct, seriously affecting the work efficiency.

[0016] 2. If this utility model adopts a powered secondary propulsion component, it can actively control the timing and distance of the secondary push, ensuring that the mushroom basket is pushed in the optimal position, avoiding the problem of misalignment or collision of the mushroom basket due to pushing the material too early or too late, and can effectively cover different gap working conditions.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Appendix Figures 2-5 The secondary propulsion mechanism for the mushroom basket mounting machine of this utility model includes a reciprocating frame 51 placed above the roller conveyor line 4 and along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor line 4, push plates 52 respectively arranged on both sides of the reciprocating frame 51, a secondary propulsion assembly 53 arranged in the reciprocating frame 51 for driving the push plates 52 on both sides to open or close, multiple sets of guide posts 54 arranged on the reciprocating frame 51 and respectively connected to the push plates 52 on both sides, and trigger racks 531A respectively arranged on both sides of the roller conveyor line 4.

[0033] The roller conveyor line 4 has five trigger racks 531A on each side, which are evenly distributed between the five adjacent rollers and placed parallel to the rollers.

[0034] The secondary propulsion assembly 53 includes two first rotating shafts 532A arranged parallel to each other within the reciprocating frame 51 and placed along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor line 4, and five sets of first gear and rack drive units 533A arranged at intervals within the reciprocating frame 51 and along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor line 4. Each set of first gear and rack drive units 533A includes a first idler wheel 5331A respectively arranged on the two first rotating shafts 532A and whose bottom can mesh with the trigger rack 531A, and two first racks 5332A respectively meshing with the tops of the two first idler wheels 5331A. The outer ends of the two first racks 5332A are respectively connected to the push plates 52 on both sides.

[0035] At work: such as Figure 1As shown, the secondary propulsion mechanism 5 is installed on the storage layer 2 of the temporary storage rack 1 of the mushroom basket mounting machine. Driven by the reciprocating pushing mechanism 3, it pushes the mushroom baskets on the roller conveyor line 4 onto the two side cultivation racks. The secondary propulsion component 53 drives the push plate 52 to achieve secondary pushing of the mushroom baskets. Even if the gap between the mounting machine and the cultivation rack is large, the mushroom baskets can still be pushed into place. Specifically, when the reciprocating pushing mechanism 3 drives the reciprocating rack 51 to approach the left push-out position, the bottom of the first idler wheel 5331A on the left side aligns with the left push-out position. When the trigger rack 531A engages, the top of the first idler wheel 5331A engages with the first rack 5332A, thereby driving the first rack 5332A on the left to open the push plate 52 on the left, realizing the secondary push of the mushroom basket on the left cultivation rack; when the reciprocating push mechanism 3 drives the reciprocating frame 51 away from the left push-out position, the first rack 5332A rotates in the opposite direction under the action of the trigger rack 531A until the first rack 5332A disengages from the trigger rack 531A, completing the closing of the left push plate 52.

[0036] Furthermore, the length of the first rack 5332A is not less than the length of the trigger rack 531A, so that the first idler wheel 5331A will not disengage from the first rack 5332A under the action of the trigger rack 531A.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the two first idler wheels 5331A are staggered along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 532A, wherein the two first racks 5332A and the trigger racks 531A on both sides of the roller conveyor line 4 are placed corresponding to the two first idler wheels 5331A; the staggered structural design can reduce the distance between the two first rotating shafts 532A, making the overall structure more compact.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, each of the first gear and rack drive units 533A also includes a pressure plate 5333A horizontally disposed within the reciprocating frame 51 and simultaneously located above the two first racks 5332A, for ensuring that the two first racks 5332A effectively mesh with the two first idler gears 5331A respectively.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, each of the first gear and rack drive units 533A also includes two vertically placed side plates 5334A located on the outside of the two first racks 5332A respectively. These side plates 5334A can be used to limit the position of the first racks 5332A on the axis of the first rotating shaft 532A, and to ensure that the two first racks 5332A are effectively meshed with the two first idler gears 5331A respectively. Both first rotating shafts 532A pass through the side plates 5334A, which can provide support for the first rotating shafts 532A.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the top and bottom of the reciprocating frame 51 are connected to the top and bottom of the storage layer 2 through multiple sets of guide rail assemblies 6, making the reciprocating pushing mechanism 3 more stable in driving the reciprocating frame 51 to reciprocate.

[0041] Furthermore, the multiple sets of guide rail assemblies 6 are located between the rollers and are not higher than the roller conveying surface, so as not to hinder the normal conveying of the roller conveyor line 4.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Appendix Figures 6-8 The secondary propulsion mechanism 5 for the mushroom basket racking machine of this utility model includes a reciprocating frame 51 placed above the roller conveyor line 4 and along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor line 4, push plates 52 respectively arranged on both sides of the reciprocating frame 51, a secondary propulsion assembly 53 arranged in the reciprocating frame 51 for driving the push plates 52 on both sides to open or close, and multiple sets of guide columns 54 arranged on the reciprocating frame 51 and respectively connected to the push plates 52 on both sides.

[0044] The secondary propulsion assembly 53 includes a second rotating shaft 532B horizontally arranged within the reciprocating frame 51 and positioned along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor line 4; a motor 531B mounted on the reciprocating frame 51 for driving the second rotating shaft 532B to rotate; and multiple sets of second gear and rack drive units 533B spaced apart within the reciprocating frame 51 and along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor line 4. Each set of second gear and rack drive units 533B includes a drive wheel 5331B mounted on the second rotating shaft 532B; two horizontally placed second racks 5332B located above and below the drive wheel 5331B respectively; and two second idler wheels 5333B located on both sides of the drive wheel 5331B and simultaneously meshing with the drive wheel 5331B. The two second idler wheels 5333B are staggered vertically and mesh with the two second racks 5332B respectively. The outer ends of the two second racks 5332B are connected to the push plates 52 on both sides respectively.

[0045] When the reciprocating pusher mechanism 3 drives the reciprocating frame 51 to the push-out position, if the gap between the upper rack and the cultivation rack is large and the mushroom basket is not pushed into place, the motor 531B can drive the second rotating shaft 532B to drive the drive wheel 5331B to rotate. Since the drive wheel 5331B is connected to the two second racks 5332B through the second idler wheel 5333B, it can drive the two second racks 5332B to drive the push plates 52 on both sides to open simultaneously, realizing the secondary push of the mushroom basket. If it is necessary to drive the push plates 52 to close, the motor 531B drives the rotating shaft to reverse, thereby driving the two second racks 5332B to drive the push plates 52 to close.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 8As shown, the inner end of the second rack 5332B is provided with a retaining edge 5334B to prevent the second rack 5332B from disengaging from the second idler wheel 5333B.

[0047] The above are merely specific application examples of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
