Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inoculation devices, and more particularly to a quantitative dispensing device for inoculating nameko mushrooms. Background Technology

[0002] Nameko mushroom, a precious edible fungus, is highly favored for its excellent edible and medicinal value. The ever-increasing demand has led to the application of artificial cultivation techniques. In the cultivation of nameko mushroom, the inoculation process is particularly critical, as it directly determines the survival rate of the spawn and the final yield. During the inoculation stage, multiple inoculation holes need to be punched on the surface of the culture medium. Then, the spawn is carefully placed into these inoculation holes by hand. After inoculation, the culture medium needs to be sealed and placed in a constant temperature and humidity environment for cultivation to ensure that the spawn can grow and develop under optimal conditions.

[0003] Currently, most of the inoculation process for mushrooms requires manual operation, involving multiple manual drilling and subsequent placement of spawn. The entire inoculation process can be time-consuming, inefficient, and labor-intensive. Furthermore, manual placement of spawn may not allow for precise control of the amount of spawn in each hole, potentially leading to waste in some holes or insufficient spawn in others, resulting in inadequate spawn yield.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a quantitative dispensing device for inoculating *Pleurotus ostreatus* to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a quantitative dispensing device for inoculating *Pleurotus ostreatus*. This device can precisely punch holes in the culture medium and quantitatively inoculate it in one go, thereby ensuring the quality and efficiency of the inoculation process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A quantitative dispensing device for inoculating Pleurotus ostreatus includes a support assembly, the support assembly including a main frame, a rotating block snapped onto the upper end of the main frame, a slot formed at the upper end of the main frame, a punching assembly inside the support assembly, and a pressing assembly at the upper end of the punching assembly.

[0008] The punching assembly includes a movable block, inside which multiple inoculation tubes are fixedly sleeved. Multiple arc-shaped plates are rotatably arranged at the lower ends of the multiple inoculation tubes. Multiple sliding grooves are fixedly arranged on the inner surfaces of the multiple inoculation tubes near their lower ends. Vertical rods are rotatably arranged on opposite sides of each pair of arc-shaped plates. Diagonal rods are rotatably arranged at the upper ends of the multiple vertical rods. Fixed rings are fixedly arranged on the inner surfaces of the multiple inoculation tubes near their upper ends.

[0009] The pressing assembly includes multiple conical blocks and a pressing column. Each of the multiple conical blocks has a vertical column fixedly installed at its upper end. Multiple connecting rods are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pressing column near its upper end. A second spring is fixedly installed at the lower end of the pressing column.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner surface of the main frame is provided with multiple limiting grooves, the lower end of the rotating block is engaged in the limiting grooves, and the outer surface of the moving block is fixedly provided with multiple locking blocks near the lower end, and the multiple locking blocks are slidably disposed in the multiple limiting grooves respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable block is threaded onto the inner surface of the rotating block, and the outer surfaces of the plurality of inoculation tubes near the upper end are fixedly fitted into the movable block.

[0012] Furthermore, the shafts of the multiple vertical rods are slidably fitted into multiple grooves, and the multiple inclined rods are rotatably connected to the inner surface of the inoculation tube.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple No. 1 springs are fixedly installed on the inner surface of each of the multiple inoculation tubes, and the opposite ends of each pair of the multiple No. 1 springs are respectively fixedly connected to multiple inclined rods.

[0014] Furthermore, the multiple conical blocks are slidably sleeved on the inner surfaces of the multiple fixed rings, and the upper ends of the multiple vertical columns are fixedly connected to the four connecting rods respectively.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressing column is slidably sleeved at the middle position of the upper end of the moving block, and the lower end of the second spring is fixedly set on the inner surface of the moving block.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model proposes a quantitative distribution device for inoculating *Pleurotus ostreatus*. The device includes a pressing component. The upper end of a conical block is shaped with a high center and low periphery. Combined with a fixing ring, it forms a platform with the same diameter as the inoculation tube. The upper end can form a space of a fixed size, allowing precise control of the amount of spawn distributed. Multiple conical blocks are controlled by pressing columns. The synchronous downward movement of the conical blocks allows the spawn to enter the inoculation tube from the conical blocks. Simultaneously, it pushes the inclined rod to rotate, thereby opening the arc-shaped plate to ensure the spawn falls smoothly into the culture medium. This ensures both quantitative spawn distribution and inoculation efficiency, further guaranteeing the yield of *Pleurotus ostreatus*.

[0018] 2. The present invention proposes a quantitative dispensing device for inoculating *Pleurotus ostreatus*. This quantitative dispensing device is equipped with a perforation component. As the rotating block rotates, the moving block will descend, thereby driving the perforation component to move down as well. The perforation component is embedded with multiple inoculation tubes, which are combined with multiple arc-shaped plates at the lower end to form a cone shape. This allows for multi-point perforation of the culture medium in one go. This perforation method greatly improves the convenience of manual perforation and increases the efficiency of the inoculation process. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 One embodiment of this utility model is a quantitative dispensing device for inoculating Amorphophallus nameko, which includes a support component 1, a perforation component 2 inside the support component 1, and a pressing component 3 at the upper end of the perforation component 2.

[0028] Specifically, the support component 1 is the structure that supports the entire device. The support component 1 can place the device on the culture medium of the mushroom aralia, which facilitates subsequent operations. The perforation component 2 can drill inoculation holes on the culture medium by moving the arc plate 204 up and down. The pressing component 3 can place the fixed amount of inoculum at its upper end into the inoculation hole by moving the cone block 301 down.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The support component 1 includes a main frame 101, a rotating block 102 is snapped onto the upper end of the main frame 101, a slot 104 is opened at the upper end of the main frame 101, a plurality of limiting slots 103 are opened on the inner surface of the main frame 101, and the lower end of the rotating block 102 is snapped onto the limiting slot 103.

[0030] Specifically, the main frame 101 can support the upper structure on the upper part of the culture medium. The lower end of the rotating block 102 is narrower. The narrower part of the lower end of the rotating block 102 is engaged in the slot 104. The slot 104 is annular. The rotating block 102 can rotate around the slot 104. The slot 104 is engaged with the block 202, so that the moving block 201 moves up and down under the action of the threaded compression.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5The punching assembly 2 includes a movable block 201. Multiple inoculation tubes 203 are fixedly sleeved inside the movable block 201. Multiple arc-shaped plates 204 are rotatably mounted on the lower ends of each inoculation tube 203. Multiple sliding grooves 205 are fixedly mounted on the inner surfaces of each inoculation tube 203 near its lower end. Vertical rods 206 are rotatably mounted on opposite sides of each pair of arc-shaped plates 204. Diagonal rods 207 are rotatably mounted on the upper ends of each vertical rod 206. A fixing ring 209 is fixedly mounted on the inner surfaces of each inoculation tube 203 near its upper end. The movable block 201 is threaded onto the inner surface of the rotating block 102. Multiple inoculation tubes 203 are fixedly sleeved in the upper part of the outer surface of the moving block 201. Multiple locking blocks 202 are fixedly installed on the lower part of the outer surface of the moving block 201. Multiple locking blocks 202 are slidably installed in multiple limiting grooves 103. Multiple vertical rods 206 are slidably sleeved in multiple sliding grooves 205. Multiple inclined rods 207 are rotatably connected to the inner surface of the inoculation tubes 203. Multiple No. 1 springs 208 are fixedly installed on the inner surface of the multiple inoculation tubes 203. The opposite ends of the multiple No. 1 springs 208 are fixedly connected to the multiple inclined rods 207 respectively.

[0032] Specifically, the perforation component 2 is the core component, which can simultaneously perforate multiple evenly distributed inoculation holes. The moving block 201 can move up and down under the action of the thread, while driving the arc plate 204 and the inoculation tube 203 to move up and down, realizing perforation and inoculation. The inoculation tube 203 can perforate inoculation holes with a certain depth. Multiple arc plates 204 can be combined to form a conical structure. The conical shape makes it easier for the device to perforate the culture medium. Multiple arc plates 204 can rotate and separate when subjected to external force, ensuring that the inoculum can smoothly pass through the inoculation tube 203 into the culture medium. The width of the inner wall of the chute 205 is the same as the width of the vertical rod 206, ensuring that the vertical rod 206 slides stably up and down under the restriction of the chute 205. The inclined rod 207 rotates downward under the action of the upper pressure and rotates upward under the action of the lower spring force. The fixing ring 209 can form a sealed support plate with the conical block 301, and the upper space can hold a certain amount of inoculum.

[0033] Reference Figure 3-5 The pressing component 3 includes multiple conical blocks 301 and pressing posts 303. Each of the multiple conical blocks 301 has a vertical post 302 fixedly installed at its upper end. Multiple connecting rods 304 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pressing post 303 near its upper end. A second spring 305 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the pressing post 303. The multiple conical blocks 301 are slidably sleeved on the inner surface of multiple fixed rings 209. The upper ends of the multiple vertical posts 302 are fixedly connected to the four connecting rods 304 respectively. The pressing post 303 is slidably sleeved at the middle position of the upper end of the moving block 201. The lower end of the second spring 305 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the moving block 201.

[0034] Specifically, the pressing component 3 is a structure that can be pressed up and down. The upper surface of the cone block 301 is inclined. When the cone block 301 moves down, the inoculum can enter the inoculation hole along the inclined surface. The vertical column 302 and the connecting rod 304 are kept vertical and are used to connect the cone block 301 and the pressing column 303 to achieve synchronous movement of the two. The pressing column 303 can slide up and down. The movement of the pressing column 303 is affected by the combined force applied at the upper end and the elastic force of the spring at the lower end. The second spring 305 can make the pressing column 303 reset for the next cycle.

[0035] Working principle: When the user uses the device for inoculation, first place the lower end of the main frame 101 on the upper end of the culture medium, and then rotate the rotating block 102. Under the action of the thread, the moving block 201 can be driven to move down along the limiting groove 103, thereby driving the punching component 2 to move down as a whole. Multiple arc plates 204 form a cone shape, which facilitates the device to drill holes in the culture medium. As the inoculation tube 203 and the arc plate 204 move down, the multi-point punching on the culture medium is completed at one time.

[0036] Next, the rotating block 102 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the perforating component 2 moves slightly upward, placing the inoculum onto the upper ends of the multiple conical blocks 301. Since the upper space of the conical blocks 301 is fixed, the inoculum can be quantitatively distributed relatively accurately. Then, pressure is applied downward to the pressing column 303, which simultaneously drives the multiple conical blocks 301 downward through the connection between the connecting rod 304 and the vertical column 302. The conical blocks 301 separate from the fixing ring 209, and the conical blocks 301 and the inoculation tube 203 are separated. As a gap is created, the inoculum moves down along the upper surface of the conical block 301 and falls through the gap into the inoculation tube 203. At the same time, the downward movement of the conical block 301 pushes the inclined rod 207 to rotate around its upper end. The lower end of the inclined rod 207 moves along an arc-shaped trajectory. The vertical rod 206 slides obliquely downward under the constraint of the sliding groove 205. During the movement of the lower end of the vertical rod 206, it pushes the arc-shaped plate 204 to unfold in all directions, and the inoculum falls stably into the inoculation hole, completing the inoculation process.

[0037] Finally, the pressing column 303 will return to its original position under the action of the second spring 305, and the inclined rod 207 will return to its original position under the action of the first spring 208. The rotating block 102 will rotate in the opposite direction, and the punching assembly 2 will move upward until the arc plate 204 is removed from the culture medium. The device can then be removed to continue the inoculation of the next culture medium.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
