Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi inoculation technology, specifically to an automated edible fungi inoculation device. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the edible fungi industry, the inoculation process, which is crucial in determining yield and quality, is facing unprecedented challenges. Traditional inoculation methods rely heavily on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also susceptible to contamination by other microorganisms due to human factors. This results in fluctuating inoculation success rates and severely restricts the large-scale production of edible fungi.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent CN118743366B discloses an automated inoculation device for edible fungi, including a processing table, a feeding conveyor line and a discharging conveyor line fixed on the processing table for conveying fungal bags. The inoculation device also includes an injection component installed on the processing table and a telescopic inoculation component coaxially positioned directly below the injection component for conveying liquid inoculum. The injection component includes an injection main tube installed through the processing table, with an injection head telescopically sleeved on the injection main tube. A positioning plate is fixedly sleeved on the injection head. A lifting cylinder is fixedly installed on the processing table, and the lifting end of the lifting cylinder is fixedly assembled with the positioning plate. This inoculation setup uses a combination of the injection component and the telescopic inoculation component for inoculation, and controls the rotation of the telescopic inoculation component for sterilization to avoid continuous contamination of the fungal bags during the inoculation process.

[0004] However, the aforementioned automated inoculation equipment for edible fungi cannot perform quantitative injection during the inoculation process, and therefore cannot accurately control the amount of inoculum injected. This can lead to insufficient inoculum in some edible fungi culture media, making it difficult to form a sufficient number of fruiting bodies and resulting in reduced yield. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated inoculation device for edible fungi, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the inability to perform quantitative injection during fungal inoculation and the inability to accurately control the amount of injected strains can lead to insufficient strains in some edible fungi culture media, making it difficult to form a sufficient number of fruiting bodies and resulting in reduced yield.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automated inoculation device for edible fungi includes: a support base, on the upper surface of which two sets of connecting plates are fixedly installed, and a conveyor belt is driven between the two sets of connecting plates. The outer surface of the conveyor belt has multiple sets of annular grooves embedded in it, with equal spacing between the multiple sets of annular grooves. The annular grooves are flush with a feeding mechanism, which is fixedly installed between the two sets of connecting plates and slides on the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0008] The connecting plate has an installation plate fixedly mounted on one end, and a storage box is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the installation plate. One end of the storage box is connected to the feed port of the peristaltic pump. The peristaltic pump is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the installation plate, and an inoculation mechanism is connected to the discharge port of the peristaltic pump.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding mechanism contains stacked edible fungus culture medium, and when the feeding mechanism is flush with the annular groove on the surface of the conveyor belt, the stacked edible fungus culture medium can automatically slide into the annular groove.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the edible fungus culture medium has an opening, and multiple sets of rubber gaskets are provided inside the opening of the top cover of the edible fungus culture medium. The multiple sets of rubber gaskets are spliced ​​together in a circular shape to seal the edible fungus culture medium.

[0011] Preferably, the rubber gasket is insertable into the inoculation mechanism and can automatically reset and seal when the inoculation mechanism is pulled out.

[0012] Preferably, a shovel groove is provided between the multiple sets of annular grooves. The shovel groove slides and fits in contact with the shovel block. The shovel block is fixedly installed at one end of the support base. This allows the edible fungus culture medium to be pushed onto the shovel block and detached from the annular groove when the annular groove moves the edible fungus culture medium across the shovel block.

[0013] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes two sets of support frames, which are fixedly installed on the upper surfaces of two sets of connecting plates. A guide cylinder is fixedly installed between the two sets of support frames, and the guide cylinder slides freely on the surface of the conveyor belt and is flush with the annular groove.

[0014] Preferably, one end of the guide cylinder is equipped with two sets of semi-arc covers in a damped rotatable manner. The closing of the two sets of semi-arc covers can form a cylindrical shape with the guide cylinder, and edible fungi culture medium is stacked inside the guide cylinder.

[0015] Preferably, the inoculation mechanism includes a rigid tube, which is connected to one end of the peristaltic pump's discharge port, a flow meter is connected between the middle sections of the rigid tube, and an inoculation needle is slidably installed inside the other end of the rigid tube.

[0016] Preferably, a solenoid valve is installed between the middle sections of the inoculation needle.

[0017] Preferably, a locking ring is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the inoculation needle, and the other end of the locking ring is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the electric push rod. The electric push rod is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the docking plate, and the docking plate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rigid tube.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. Through the design of the conveyor belt, annular troughs, shovel troughs, peristaltic pump, inoculation mechanism, and feeding mechanism, the edible fungus culture medium is stacked in the feeding mechanism during use. Then, the drive motor of the conveyor belt is started to drive the conveyor belt for transport. This allows the conveyor belt to drive the annular troughs on its outer surface. Each time the annular troughs are driven to be flush with the feeding mechanism, the stacked edible fungus culture medium automatically slides into the annular troughs. As the conveyor belt continues to transport, multiple sets of equally spaced annular troughs are sequentially driven to be flush with the feeding mechanism, and the edible fungus culture medium is gradually transported into the annular troughs. One automatically slides into the corresponding ring groove. Because the spacing between the ring grooves is equal, the spacing between the edible fungus culture media falling into the ring grooves is also consistent. In this way, when the drive motor of the conveyor belt drives the ring groove to move a certain distance and then stops, the ring groove can be made exactly level with the inoculation mechanism, thus making precise preparation for the subsequent inoculation process. The inoculation mechanism, which is level with the ring groove, can then inject a certain amount of fungi into the edible fungus culture media by inserting the rubber pad of the edible fungus culture media. After injection, it is pulled out from the rubber pad of the edible fungus culture media. The system automatically resets and seals the rubber gaskets, allowing the conveyor belt to move a specific distance and stop, aligning with the inoculation mechanism for inoculation. This process is repeated. After inoculation, the mushroom culture medium is pushed along the ring groove and scooped out by the shovel block through the groove. Subsequent scooped-out culture media are then pushed and slid onto the surface of the shovel block, allowing technicians to connect a second conveyor belt for further processing. The precise coordination between the equally spaced ring grooves on the outer surface of the conveyor belt and the feeding and inoculation mechanisms ensures that each mushroom culture medium is accurately positioned for inoculation. Each time the conveyor belt's drive motor moves the ring groove a specific distance and stops, aligning it with the inoculation mechanism, the consistency of the inoculation position is ensured, greatly improving the success rate and reducing inoculation failures due to positional deviations. This guarantees precise inoculation of each mushroom culture medium, providing a stable foundation for subsequent mushroom growth. Compared to manually placing and inoculating each culture medium individually, this equipment can complete inoculation of a greater number of culture media per hour, significantly improving enterprise production efficiency.

[0020] 2. The design incorporates a rigid tube, flow meter, electric actuator, inoculation needle, solenoid valve, guide cylinder, and semi-circular cover. During use, the edible mushroom culture medium is stacked inside the guide cylinder. Then, the two sets of semi-circular covers are flipped and damped to close, forming a cylindrical structure with the guide cylinder. This ensures the stable storage of the edible mushroom culture medium. The conveyor belt's drive motor is then activated, and the annular grooves on its outer surface move synchronously. Whenever the annular groove moves to a position flush with the guide cylinder, the stacked edible mushroom culture medium automatically slides into the annular groove. As the conveyor belt continues to transport the medium, multiple equally spaced annular grooves align sequentially with the guide cylinder, and the stacked edible mushroom culture medium automatically falls into the corresponding groove. Because the spacing between the annular grooves is equal, the edible mushroom culture medium pieces falling into the grooves maintain a uniform spacing. When the conveyor belt's drive motor moves the annular groove a specific distance and stops, the annular groove is exactly aligned with the guide cylinder. Once the inoculation needle, which is slidably installed inside the rigid tube, is aligned, the electric push rod is activated. A locking ring fixed to one end of the piston rod moves downwards with the push rod, allowing the inoculation needle to slide out of the rigid tube and accurately insert into the edible mushroom culture medium. Simultaneously with the activation of the electric push rod, the peristaltic pump also starts, drawing fungal solution from the storage tank and injecting it into the rigid tube. The fungal solution flows sequentially through the flow meter and solenoid valve, finally being injected into the edible mushroom culture medium through the inoculation needle. When the injected fungal solution reaches the preset injection volume, the flow meter immediately detects this and simultaneously commands the solenoid valve and peristaltic pump to shut off, thus precisely controlling the injection volume and preventing uneven injection that could lead to abnormal growth in parts of the edible mushroom culture medium. This comprehensively improves the inoculation success rate and product quality stability. After the injection operation is complete, the electric push rod is activated again to pull the inoculation needle out of the edible mushroom culture medium and retract it into the rigid tube, preparing for the next inoculation operation.

[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] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides an automated inoculation device for edible fungi, including: a support base 5, two sets of connecting plates 1 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support base 5, a conveyor belt 101 is driven between the two sets of connecting plates 1, the outer surface of the conveyor belt 101 has multiple sets of annular grooves 105 embedded in it, the spacing between the multiple sets of annular grooves 105 is equal, the annular grooves 105 can be flush with the feeding mechanism 4, the feeding mechanism 4 is fixedly installed between the two sets of connecting plates 1 and slides on the surface of the conveyor belt 101;

[0028] Among them, a mounting plate 104 is fixedly installed on one end of the connecting plate 1, a storage box 102 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 104, one end of the storage box 102 is connected to the feed port of the peristaltic pump 103, the peristaltic pump 103 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 104, and one end of the discharge port of the peristaltic pump 103 is connected to the inoculation mechanism 2.

[0029] The feeding mechanism 4 contains stacked edible fungus culture medium 6. When the feeding mechanism 4 is flush with the annular groove 105 on the surface of the conveyor belt 101, the stacked edible fungus culture medium 6 can automatically slide into the annular groove 105. The top surface of the top cover of the edible fungus culture medium 6 has an annular opening, and multiple sets of rubber gaskets 601 are installed in the annular opening of the top cover of the edible fungus culture medium 6. The multiple sets of rubber gaskets 601 are spliced ​​into a circle to seal the edible fungus culture medium 6. The rubber gaskets 601 can be inserted into the inoculation mechanism 2, and when the inoculation mechanism 2 is pulled out, the rubber gaskets 601 can automatically reset and seal. The multiple sets of annular grooves 105 are connected by a shovel groove 106. The shovel groove 106 slides and fits with the shovel block 3. The shovel block 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the support base 5. When the annular groove 105 moves the edible fungus culture medium 6 past the shovel block 3, the edible fungus culture medium 6 can be pushed by the annular groove 105 onto the shovel block 3 and detached from the annular groove 105.

[0030] Through the design of the conveyor belt 101, annular groove 105, shovel groove 106, peristaltic pump 103, inoculation mechanism 2, and feeding mechanism 4, in use, the edible fungus culture medium 6 can be stacked in the feeding mechanism 4, and then the drive motor of the conveyor belt 101 can be started to drive the conveyor belt 101 for conveying. The conveyor belt 101 can drive the annular groove 105 on its outer surface for transmission. When the annular groove 105 is driven to be flush with the feeding mechanism 4, the edible fungus culture medium 6 stacked in the feeding mechanism 4 can automatically slide into the annular groove 105. As the conveyor belt 101 continues to convey, it can drive multiple sets of equally spaced annular grooves 105 to sequentially connect with the feeding mechanism 4. As the edible fungus culture medium 6 slides down into its corresponding annular groove 105, the spacing between the annular grooves 105 is also consistent. This ensures that when the drive motor of the conveyor belt 101 moves the annular groove 105 a specific distance and stops, the annular groove 105 is perfectly aligned with the inoculation mechanism 2. This provides precise preparation for the subsequent inoculation process. The inoculation mechanism 2, now aligned with the annular groove 105, can then inject a measured amount of fungi into the edible fungus culture medium 6 via the rubber pad 601 inserted into it. After injection, the fungus is then transferred from the edible fungus culture medium 6 to the inoculation mechanism 2. When the rubber gasket 601 of the mushroom culture medium 6 is pulled out, it can automatically reset and seal. Then, the conveyor belt 101 can move a specific distance and stop, aligning with the inoculation mechanism 2 for inoculation. This process is repeated. After inoculation, the mushroom culture medium 6 is pushed along the annular groove 105 and scooped out of the annular groove 105 by the shovel block 3 through the shovel groove 106. The subsequently scooped-out mushroom culture medium 6 is then pushed and slid onto the surface of the shovel block 3, allowing technicians to connect a second set of conveyor belts 101 to transport it for another step of processing. The conveyor belt 101 is connected to the feeder via equally spaced annular grooves 105 on its outer surface. The precise coordination between structure 4 and inoculation mechanism 2 ensures that each edible fungus culture medium 6 can be accurately positioned for inoculation. Each time the conveyor belt 101 drives the motor to move the ring groove 105 a specific distance and then stops, aligning the ring groove 105 with the inoculation mechanism 2, ensuring consistent inoculation positions, greatly improving the success rate of inoculation, reducing inoculation failures caused by inoculation position deviations, and ensuring that each edible fungus culture medium 6 can be accurately inoculated, providing a stable foundation for the subsequent growth of edible fungi. Compared with manually placing and inoculating each edible fungus culture medium 6, this equipment can complete the inoculation of a greater number of edible fungus culture medium 6 per hour, greatly improving the production efficiency of enterprises.

[0031] like Figures 3-4As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes two sets of support frames 403, which are fixedly installed on the upper surfaces of two sets of connecting plates 1. A guide cylinder 401 is fixedly installed between the two sets of support frames 403. The guide cylinder 401 is suspended and slides against the surface of the conveyor belt 101 and can be flush with the annular groove 105. Two sets of semi-arc covers 402 are installed at one end of the guide cylinder 401 with damping rotation. The closing of the two sets of semi-arc covers 402 can form a cylindrical shape with the guide cylinder 401. Edible fungus culture medium 6 is stacked inside the guide cylinder 401. The inoculation mechanism 2 includes a rigid tube 201. A rigid tube 201 is connected to one end of the discharge port of the peristaltic pump 103. A flow meter 202 is connected between the middle sections of the rigid tube 201. An inoculation needle 206 is slidably installed inside the other end of the rigid tube 201. A solenoid valve 207 is connected between the middle sections of the inoculation needle 206. A locking ring 205 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the inoculation needle 206. The other end of the locking ring 205 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the electric push rod 204. The electric push rod 204 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the docking plate 203. The docking plate 203 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rigid tube 201.

[0032] Through the design of the rigid tube 201, flow meter 202, electric push rod 204, inoculation needle 206, solenoid valve 207, guide cylinder 401, and semi-circular cover 402, during use, the edible fungus culture medium 6 can be stacked inside the guide cylinder 401, and then the two sets of semi-circular covers 402 can be flipped and closed with damping, so that it and the guide cylinder 401 together form a cylindrical structure, thereby ensuring that the edible fungus culture medium 6 is stably stored inside. Then, the drive motor of the conveyor belt 101 can be started to make the conveyor belt 101 start running, and the annular groove 105 opened on its outer surface will also move synchronously. Whenever the annular groove 105 moves to the same position as the guide cylinder 401, the conveyor belt 101 will move synchronously. When the guide cylinder 401 is aligned with the guide cylinder 401, the edible fungus culture medium 6 stacked inside the guide cylinder 401 will automatically slide into the annular groove 105. As the conveyor belt 101 continuously conveys, multiple sets of equally spaced annular grooves 105 will sequentially align with the guide cylinder 401, and the stacked edible fungus culture medium 6 inside will also automatically fall into the corresponding annular groove 105 one by one. Since the spacing between the annular grooves 105 is equal, the edible fungus culture medium 6 falling into the annular groove 105 also maintains a uniform spacing. When the drive motor of the conveyor belt 101 drives the annular groove 105 to move a specific distance and stops, the annular groove 105... 5 is aligned with the inoculation needle 206 that is slidably installed inside the rigid tube 201. At this time, the electric push rod 204 is activated. The locking ring 205, which is fixedly installed at one end of its piston rod, moves downward with the push of the electric push rod 204, allowing the locking ring 205 to drive the inoculation needle 206 out of the rigid tube 201 and accurately insert it into the edible fungus culture medium 6. At the same time as the electric push rod 204 is activated, the peristaltic pump 103 is also activated simultaneously. The peristaltic pump 103 begins to draw fungal liquid from the storage tank 102 and inject it into the rigid tube 201, so that the fungal liquid flows through the rigid tube 201 sequentially through the flow meter 202 and the solenoid valve 20. 7. Finally, the fungal solution is injected into the edible fungus culture medium 6 through the inoculation needle 206. When the injected fungal solution reaches the preset injection volume, the flow meter 202 will immediately detect this and simultaneously issue a command to close the solenoid valve 207 and the peristaltic pump 103, thereby accurately controlling the injection volume and avoiding abnormal growth of some edible fungus culture medium 6 due to uneven injection volume, thus comprehensively improving the inoculation success rate and product quality stability. After the injection operation is completed, the electric push rod 204 is activated again to pull the inoculation needle 206 out of the edible fungus culture medium 6 and slide it into the rigid tube 201, preparing for the next inoculation operation.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: In use, the edible fungus culture medium 6 is stacked inside the guide cylinder 401. Then, the two sets of semi-circular covers 402 are flipped and closed with damping, forming a cylindrical structure with the guide cylinder 401. This ensures the edible fungus culture medium 6 is stably stored within it. Then, the drive motor of the conveyor belt 101 is started, and the annular groove 105 on its outer surface is synchronously driven. Whenever the annular groove 105 moves to a position flush with the guide cylinder 401, the edible fungus culture medium 6 stacked inside the guide cylinder 401 will automatically slide into the annular groove 105. In step 05, as the conveyor belt 101 continuously transports the material, multiple sets of equally spaced annular grooves 105 will sequentially align with the guide cylinder 401. The edible fungus culture media 6 stacked inside will also automatically fall into the corresponding annular grooves 105 one by one. Since the spacing between the annular grooves 105 is equal, the edible fungus culture media 6 falling into the annular grooves 105 also maintain a uniform spacing. When the drive motor of the conveyor belt 101 drives the annular grooves 105 to move a specific distance and stop, the annular grooves 105 are just aligned with the inoculation needles 206 slidably installed inside the rigid tube 201. At this time, the electric push rod 204 is activated, and the lock fixedly installed at one end of its piston rod... Ring 205 moves downward as the electric push rod 204 pushes it, allowing the locking ring 205 to drive the inoculation needle 206 out of the rigid tube 201 and accurately insert it into the edible fungus culture medium 6. Simultaneously with the activation of the electric push rod 204, the peristaltic pump 103 also starts, drawing fungal solution from the storage tank 102 and injecting it into the rigid tube 201. The fungal solution then flows sequentially through the flow meter 202 and the solenoid valve 207, finally being injected into the edible fungus culture medium 6 through the inoculation needle 206. When the injected fungal solution reaches the preset injection volume, the flow meter 202 immediately detects this. Simultaneously, a command is issued to close the solenoid valve 207 and the peristaltic pump 103, thereby precisely controlling the injection volume. After the injection operation is completed, the electric push rod 204 is activated again to pull the inoculation needle 206 out of the edible fungus culture medium 6 and slide it into the rigid tube 201, preparing for the next inoculation operation. The inoculated edible fungus culture medium 6 can be pushed along the ring groove 105 and scooped out of the ring groove 105 by the shovel block 3 through the shovel groove 106. The subsequently scooped-out edible fungus culture medium 6 can be pushed and slid on the surface of the shovel block 3, allowing technicians to connect the second set of conveyor belts 101 to transport it away for another step of processing.

[0034] In summary, this inoculation equipment can precisely control the amount of fungi injected, avoiding abnormal growth of some edible fungi culture media 6 due to uneven injection, thus comprehensively improving the success rate of inoculation and the stability of product quality. Furthermore, it can automatically fill and remove edible fungi culture media 6, reducing waiting time between processes and making the entire inoculation process more compact and efficient.
