Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi production equipment technology, specifically to a special mechanical device for removing the loop from the opening of edible fungi bags. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of edible fungi, after inoculation and cultivation, the ring at the top of the spawn bag needs to be removed for subsequent mushroom management. Currently, most edible fungi production enterprises rely on manual labor for this step. Manual ring removal presents several problems: 1) Manually removing rings one by one is slow, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale edible fungi production, leading to longer production cycles and impacting the enterprise's economic benefits; 2) The repetitive nature of this work over long periods causes worker fatigue, increasing labor intensity and negatively affecting worker health; 3) Consistency in manual operation is difficult to guarantee, potentially resulting in incomplete ring removal or damage to the spawn bag, affecting the growth and yield of the edible fungi.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve these problems, some edible mushroom bag opening removal equipment has emerged on the market. However, the existing equipment generally suffers from problems such as complex structure, inconvenient operation, and poor applicability, and cannot well meet the actual needs of edible mushroom production enterprises.

[0029] 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.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Please see the appendix Figures 1 to 3 As shown: A bag loop removal machine for edible fungi includes a frame 1 and a conveying device 2 installed through the frame 1. The bag loop removal machine for edible fungi also includes:

[0032] The ring support 3 is fixed above the conveying device 2;

[0033] The ring-pressing mechanism 4 is vertically mounted on the ring-removing bracket 3 and is used to press the mycelium pack when removing the ring.

[0034] The gripping mechanism 5 is vertically and vertically mounted inside the ring-grabbing bracket 3, used to repeatedly grip the skirt of the mushroom bag opening to loosen the relative movement between the ring and the skirt; and

[0035] The ring-removing mechanism 6 is movably mounted on the gripping mechanism 5 and is used to remove the ring from the spawn bag;

[0036] In this process, after the pressing mechanism 4 tightens the mushroom bag, the gripping mechanism 5 descends to continuously grip the skirt of the mushroom bag opening, causing the ring to loosen from the skirt. Then, the ring-removing mechanism 6 clamps the bag, and the gripping mechanism 5 reverses its movement to remove the ring. This structural design automates the process of removing the ring from the mushroom bag opening. The pressing, gripping, and removing mechanisms work together to ensure an orderly ring-removal operation. Compared to manual ring removal, mechanical automation significantly improves work efficiency and reduces labor costs. Simultaneously, stable mechanical operation reduces the risk of damage to the mushroom bag due to variations in manual operation, thus ensuring the quality of the mushroom bag.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the ring pressing mechanism 4 includes ring pressing seats 41 symmetrically inserted at both ends of the ring taking bracket 3; a conformal pressing net 42 is fixed between adjacent ring pressing seats 41; the ring pressing seats 41 are driven by a lifting cylinder 43 to be movably inserted into the ring taking bracket 3; buffers 44 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting cylinder 43. The symmetrical arrangement of the ring pressing seats and their drive by the lifting cylinder can stably drive the conformal pressing net to rise and fall, thereby uniformly pressing the mushroom bag. The conformal pressing net can better conform to the shape of the mushroom bag, providing a more stable pressing force and preventing the mushroom bag from shifting or shaking during the ring taking process. The buffers on both sides of the lifting cylinder can effectively alleviate the impact force during ring pressing, avoiding damage to the mushroom bag and further improving the equipment's protective performance for the mushroom bag.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the gripping mechanism 5 includes a gripping lifting cylinder 51 centrally fixed to the top of the ring-retrieving bracket 3; a gripping seat 52 is hinged to the output end of the gripping lifting cylinder 51; the gripping lifting cylinder 51 can drive the gripping seat 52 to reciprocate on the ring-retrieving bracket 3; bag-sorting finger cylinders 53 are arrayed at the bottom of the gripping seat 52; a bag-sorting fixture 54 is provided corresponding to the output end of the bag-sorting finger cylinders 53. The gripping lifting cylinder drives the gripping seat to reciprocate, and in conjunction with the bag-sorting finger cylinders and bag-sorting fixture arrayed at the bottom, it can accurately and efficiently grip the skirt of the mushroom bag opening. The coordinated work of multiple bag-sorting finger cylinders increases the stability and reliability of the gripping, effectively loosening the ring from the skirt, preparing for the subsequent ring-retrieving operation, and improving the success rate of ring retrieval.

[0039] Based on the above embodiment, adjacent bag-sorting fixtures 54, when closed, enclose a bag-sorting cavity; one end of each bag-sorting fixture 54 has an arc-shaped concave serration. The closure of adjacent bag-sorting fixtures to form a bag-sorting cavity better wraps and secures the mushroom bag opening, improving gripping stability. The arc-shaped concave serration design at one end of the bag-sorting fixture increases friction with the skirt edge of the mushroom bag opening, making the grip more secure and less prone to slippage, ensuring effective loosening of the connection between the ring and the skirt during gripping.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, the ring-removing mechanism 6 includes a ring-removing frame 61 mounted on the ring-removing bracket 3; a left support component 62 and a right support component 63 are movably mounted on the ring-removing frame 61, and adjacent left support components 62 and right support components 63 are arranged in opposite directions of movement. The left and right support components movably mounted on the ring-removing frame, with opposite directions of movement, allow for simultaneous operation of the ring at the opening of the mushroom bag from both sides. This reverse movement provides more stable clamping of the ring, offering reliable support for subsequent ring removal and improving the stability and accuracy of the ring-removing process.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, the left support assembly 62 and the right support assembly 63 adopt the same structural configuration; the left support assembly 62 includes a left support frame; a transverse moving cylinder is arrayed on one side of the left support frame; a ring-removing fixture is movably inserted on the left support frame; the transverse moving cylinder can drive the ring-removing fixture to move back and forth. The identical structure of the left and right support assemblies facilitates the manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of the equipment. The transverse moving cylinder drives the ring-removing fixture to move back and forth, allowing for flexible adjustment of the fixture's position to better adapt to the ring-removing requirements of different sized spawn bags, thus improving the equipment's versatility.

[0042] Based on the above embodiments, the ring-removal fixture employs an array of four fixture plates; each fixture plate has a concave, contoured groove along its length on one side. The groove surface transitions with a concave, rounded surface. The array of four fixture plates, combined with the concave, contoured grooves and rounded surfaces on the fixture plates, better conforms to the shape of the ring at the opening of the mushroom bag. This design enhances the clamping force on the ring, reducing the risk of damage to the mushroom bag during ring removal and improving the success rate and efficiency of ring removal.

[0043] Based on the above embodiments, the conveying device 2 is a chain conveying mechanism;

[0044] The frame 1 is equipped with a material collection hopper, located directly below the chain conveyor mechanism. The frame 1 also features a material blocking mechanism, which is retractable and insertable into the chain conveyor mechanism. Using a chain conveyor mechanism as the conveying device ensures stable transport of the spawn bags, guaranteeing the continuity of the entire ring-removal process. The material collection hopper on the frame collects the removed rings for convenient centralized processing, maintaining a clean work area. The retractable material blocking mechanism precisely controls the conveying rhythm of the spawn bags, ensuring that each spawn bag is accurately positioned for ring removal.

[0045] The operation of this invention is as follows: The spawn bag is conveyed to the area below the ring-retrieving machine via a chain conveyor mechanism. A baffle mechanism extends to prevent the spawn bag from moving forward. The lifting cylinder of the ring-pressing mechanism drives the ring-pressing seat to descend, and the conformal pressing net presses the spawn bag tightly. The gripping lifting cylinder drives the gripping seat to descend, and the bag-sorting finger cylinder controls the bag-sorting fixture to close, gripping the skirt of the spawn bag opening. The gripping seat then rises and falls multiple times, loosening the ring from the skirt. The lateral movement cylinders of the left and right support components drive the ring-retrieving fixture to approach and clamp the ring at the spawn bag opening. The gripping lifting cylinder reverses its movement, causing the gripping seat to rise. At this time, the ring is clamped by the ring-retrieving fixture, and as the gripping seat rises, the ring is pulled out from the spawn bag opening. The lateral movement cylinder of the ring-retrieving mechanism drives the ring-retrieving fixture to move the removed ring above the discharge hopper. The ring-retrieving fixture is released, and the ring falls into the discharge hopper. The baffle mechanism retracts, and the chain conveyor mechanism continues to convey the next spawn bag, repeating the above operation. This invention automates the removal of rings from edible mushroom bags by coordinating the ring pressing mechanism, the gripping mechanism, and the ring removal mechanism. This greatly improves the efficiency of ring removal, increasing it several times compared to manual ring removal and effectively shortening the production cycle.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art should be able to make equivalent embodiments by making some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
