[0002] The morel mushroom automated inoculation device is a piece of equipment used in the morel mushroom spore inoculation process. It uses automation technology, mechanical structure design and intelligent control system to realize the automated operation of the morel mushroom inoculation process, and can accurately and efficiently inoculate morel mushroom spores onto the culture medium.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, some of the inner walls and corners of the tanks in the device are prone to residual culture medium, bacterial liquid and other substances, which are difficult to clean thoroughly and meticulously. Long-term accumulation will breed a large number of miscellaneous bacteria, which will contaminate the morel mushroom spores to be inoculated later, affecting their growth and quality. In addition, when the tank, internal agitator, valves, pipes and other components malfunction, it is difficult for maintenance personnel to carry out in-depth inspection and repair, causing small problems to develop into major failures, affecting the normal operation of the inoculation device, increasing maintenance costs and downtime. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automated morel inoculation device. This device allows workers to more easily inspect various components of the tank, promptly identify wear, damage, or blockages, and perform repairs or replacements to ensure the normal operation of the inoculation device. It also allows for convenient modification of the tank's internal structure or replacement of certain components to adapt to new process requirements. This effectively prevents other microorganisms from competing with morel mushrooms for nutrients and growth space during subsequent inoculations, ensuring the purity of the inoculated morel strain and creating favorable conditions for pure morel cultivation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, an automated morel inoculation device is provided, comprising a base, two support blocks fixedly connected to the top of the base, a tank fixedly connected to the top of the support blocks, a fixing plate provided inside the tank, a second limiting groove and a first limiting groove provided inside the fixing plate, a locking block slidably connected to the outside of the second limiting groove, and a sliding column fixedly connected inside the locking block.

[0006] According to the aforementioned automated morel inoculation device, the outer side of the card block is slidably connected to a third limiting groove, and the outer side of the third limiting groove is fixedly connected to a collar.

[0007] According to the aforementioned automated morel inoculation device, the tank body is provided with a tank cover, and a motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the tank cover.

[0008] According to the aforementioned automated morel inoculation device, the output end of the motor is rotatably connected to a drive rod, and the outside of the drive rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the can lid.

[0009] According to the aforementioned automated morel inoculation device, multiple scrapers are fixedly connected to the outside of the drive rod, and a filter cylinder is fixedly connected to the inside of the tank.

[0010] According to the aforementioned automated morel inoculation device, a feed pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the tank, and a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank.

[0011] According to the aforementioned automated morel inoculation device, the support block is internally fixedly connected to multiple slide rails, and the slide rails are externally slidably connected to a storage cabinet.

[0012] According to the aforementioned automated morel inoculation device, a filter screen is fixedly connected inside the storage cabinet, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage cabinet.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. Morel mushrooms are poured into the tank through the inlet pipe, entering the filter cartridge inside the tank for expanded cultivation. The liquid inoculum is discharged through the outlet pipe at the bottom and flows into the collection cabinet at the bottom. Pulling the handle moves the collection cabinet along the slide rail outside the support block, thus removing and collecting the morel mushrooms. When the internal mechanism is damaged, rotating the sliding column moves the locking block outside the sliding column into the second limiting groove and the third limiting groove inside the collar. When the locking block moves into the first limiting groove, the fixing plate inside the tank can be removed. This allows workers to more easily inspect the various parts of the tank, promptly identify wear, damage, or blockages, and repair or replace them, ensuring the normal operation of the inoculation device. It also allows for convenient modification or replacement of some parts of the tank structure to adapt to new process requirements.

[0015] 2. After the morel mushrooms are inoculated, some residual impurities may remain on the inner wall of the tank. At this time, the motor drives the scraper inside the tank to rotate, thereby cleaning the impurities inside the tank. This effectively prevents other bacteria from competing with the morel mushrooms for nutrients and growth space during the next inoculation, ensuring the purity of the inoculated morel mushroom strain and creating favorable conditions for the pure culture of morel mushrooms.

[0024] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an automated inoculation device for morel mushrooms, which includes a base 1. Two support blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A tank 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support blocks 2. A fixing plate 11 is provided inside the tank 3. A second limiting groove 13 is provided inside the fixing plate 11. A first limiting groove 12 is provided inside the fixing plate 11. A locking block 14 is slidably connected to the outside of the second limiting groove 13. A sliding column 15 is fixedly connected inside the locking block 14.

[0026] Specifically: Rotating the sliding column 15 causes the locking block 14 outside the sliding column 15 to move in the second limiting groove 13 and the third limiting groove 17 inside the collar 16. When the locking block 14 moves into the first limiting groove 12, the fixing plate 11 inside the tank body 3 can be removed.

[0027] The external sliding connection of the locking block 14 has a third limiting groove 17, which limits the movement range of the object and prevents it from exceeding the predetermined position. The external fixed connection of the third limiting groove 17 has a collar 16.

[0028] The tank body 3 is provided with a tank cover 6 on the outside, and a motor 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the tank cover 6, which can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to provide power for various mechanical devices.

[0029] The output end of the motor 7 is rotatably connected to a drive rod 8, which is used to transmit power and control movement. It can transmit power from one component to another, or be used to adjust the movement state of the mechanical device. The outside of the drive rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the can lid 6.

[0030] Specifically: Driven by the motor 7 and the drive rod 8, the scraper 9 inside the tank 3 is rotated to clean the impurities inside the tank 3. This effectively prevents miscellaneous bacteria from competing with morel mushrooms for nutrients and growth space during the next inoculation.

[0031] Multiple scrapers 9 are fixedly connected to the outside of the drive rod 8, and a filter cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the tank body 3.

[0032] Specifically: the liquid culture is poured into the tank 3 through the feed pipe 4, and then enters the filter cylinder 10 inside the tank 3 for expanded culture. The liquid culture is discharged through the discharge pipe 5 at the bottom.

[0033] A feed pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 3, and a discharge pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 3.

[0034] The support block 2 has multiple slide rails 18 fixedly connected inside, and a storage cabinet 19 is slidably connected outside the slide rails 18.

[0035] Specifically: Pulling the handle 20 causes the storage cabinet 19 to move along the slide rail 18 outside the support block 2, thereby removing it and collecting it.

[0036] The storage cabinet 19 has a filter screen 21 fixedly connected inside, and a handle 20 fixedly connected outside.

[0037] Working principle: Morel mushrooms are poured into the tank 3 through the feed pipe 4, entering the filter cartridge 10 inside the tank 3 for expanded cultivation. The liquid culture is discharged through the discharge pipe 5 at the bottom and flows into the collection cabinet 19 at the bottom. Pulling the handle 20 moves the collection cabinet 19 along the slide rail 18 outside the support block 2, thus removing and collecting the morel mushrooms. When the internal mechanism is damaged, rotating the sliding column 15 moves the locking block 14 outside the sliding column 15 into the third limiting groove 17 inside the second limiting groove 13 and the collar 16. When the locking block 14 moves into the first limiting groove 12, it can engage the fixing plate 11 inside the tank 3. Disassembly allows staff to more easily inspect the various components of tank 3, promptly identify wear, damage, or blockages, and perform repairs or replacements to ensure the normal operation of the inoculation device. It also facilitates the modification or replacement of parts of the internal structure of tank 3. After the morel mushrooms are inoculated, residual impurities may adhere to the inner wall of tank 3. At this time, the scraper 9 inside tank 3 is rotated by the drive rod 8 driven by the motor 7 to clean the impurities inside tank 3. This effectively prevents miscellaneous bacteria from competing with morel mushrooms for nutrients and growth space during the next inoculation, ensuring the purity of the inoculated morel mushroom strain and creating favorable conditions for the pure culture of morel mushrooms.

[0038] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
