Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shiitake mushroom cultivation technology, specifically a shiitake mushroom bag removal device. Background Technology
[0002] In the cultivation of substrate-grown shiitake mushrooms, the bag removal process is one of the key steps to ensure the normal growth and development of the mushrooms. In the early stages of growth, substrate-grown shiitake mushrooms are usually wrapped in an outer plastic bag to create suitable environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, promoting the growth and spread of mycelium. As the shiitake mushroom mycelium continues to develop, the outer plastic bag needs to be removed to replenish oxygen to the mycelium. Currently, the generally accepted method for removing the bag is to first use a knife to cut an opening in the outer plastic bag at one end of the mushroom log, and then tear the outer plastic bag open by hand. This method of removing the bag is labor-intensive, and it is very easy to damage the shiitake mushroom mycelium when making the opening with a knife, increasing the risk of contamination and thus affecting mycelial growth.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model proposes a mushroom bag-removing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mushroom bag-removing device to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A mushroom bag-removing device includes a round rod, a spiked head at one end of the round rod for piercing the outer plastic bag, an mounting component on the round rod, and a blade on the mounting component for cutting the outer plastic bag.
[0007] In one alternative: the end of the round rod is provided with an inner groove adapted to the spike head, and the spike head is telescopically disposed in the inner groove.
[0008] In one alternative: the blade is rotatably mounted on a mounting component via a pivot, the mounting component having a strip-shaped component adapted to the length of the blade, and the strip-shaped component having a receiving groove for receiving the cutting edge portion of the blade.
[0009] In one alternative: the bag remover further includes an adjustment assembly for enabling the extension and retraction of the spike head and the rotation of the blade.
[0010] In one alternative embodiment: the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment component sleeved on a round rod, the round rod having a limiting groove, the sliding sleeve having a boss adapted to the limiting groove, the boss being engaged in the limiting groove, a connecting rod being provided between the spike and the boss, the round rod having a channel for the connecting rod to pass through, one end of the rotating shaft having a winding wheel, a pull rope being wound on the winding wheel, and the movable end of the pull rope being fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve, a torsion spring being sleeved at the connection between the rotating shaft and the mounting component, and a bolt being provided on the adjustment assembly in a threaded manner.
[0011] In one alternative: the pull rope is a steel wire rope.
[0012] In one alternative: the round rod is provided with a recessed groove near the spike for the end of the blade to enter away from the mounting piece.
[0013] In one alternative: the end of the rod away from the spike is provided with a handle.
[0014] In one alternative: the grip is ergonomically designed.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows:
[0016] 1. When using, the operator holds the end of the round rod away from the spike and pierces the outer plastic bag with the spike. The operator then pushes the bag remover along the direction of the mushroom stick. During the pushing process, the blade cuts the outer plastic bag axially, thus quickly and thoroughly cutting open the outer plastic bag, making it easy to peel off. The operation is simple and convenient. Because the round rod has a rounded shape, it will not damage the mycelium when it comes into contact with the mushroom stick, avoiding the risk of contamination and ensuring the normal growth of the mycelium.
[0017] 2. When the bag remover is not in use, the spiked head and blades are protected to prevent accidental injury to personnel.
[0018] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A mushroom bag-removing device includes a round rod 1, a spike 2 at one end of the round rod 1 for piercing the outer plastic bag, an mounting part 4 on the round rod 1, and a blade 3 on the mounting part 4 for cutting the outer plastic bag.
[0027] It should be noted that the round rod 1, the mounting part 4, and the blade 3 form a triangular shape.
[0028] When in use, the operator holds the end of the round rod 1 away from the spike 2, pierces the outer plastic bag with the spike 2, and pushes the bag remover along the direction of the mushroom stick (until it reaches the other end of the mushroom stick). During the pushing process, the blade 3 cuts the outer plastic bag axially, thereby quickly and fully cutting open the outer plastic bag, so that the outer plastic bag can be easily peeled off. The operation is simple and convenient. Because the round rod 1 has a rounded shape, the contact between the round rod 1 and the mushroom stick will not damage the mycelium, avoiding the risk of contamination and ensuring the normal growth of the mycelium.
[0029] Furthermore, the end of the round rod 1 away from the spike head 2 is provided with a handle 9, and the handle 9 is ergonomically designed (not shown in the figure), so as to facilitate the operator to hold and use the bag remover.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-4In one embodiment of the present invention, the end of the round rod 1 is provided with an inner groove 10 adapted to the spike head 2, and the spike head 2 is telescopically disposed in the inner groove 10;
[0031] The blade 3 is rotatably mounted on the mounting component 4 via a rotating shaft. The mounting component 4 is provided with a strip 5 that is adapted to the length of the blade 3. The strip 5 is provided with a receiving groove 6 for receiving the cutting edge portion of the blade 3.
[0032] The bag remover also includes an adjustment assembly 7 for extending and retracting the spike head 2 and rotating the blade 3;
[0033] The adjustment assembly 7 includes a sliding sleeve 701 sleeved on a round rod 1. The round rod 1 is provided with a limiting groove 702. The sliding sleeve 701 is provided with a boss 705 adapted to the limiting groove 702. The boss 705 is engaged in the limiting groove 702. A connecting rod 706 is provided between the spike head 2 and the boss 705. The round rod 1 is provided with a channel for the connecting rod 706 to pass through (not shown in the figure). One end of the rotating shaft is provided with a winding wheel 703. A pull rope 704 is wound on the winding wheel 703, and the movable end of the pull rope 704 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 701. A torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is also sleeved at the connection between the rotating shaft and the mounting part 4. A bolt 707 is also provided on the sliding sleeve 701 in a threaded manner.
[0034] It should be noted that, under the action of the torsion spring, the blade 3 always tends to rotate in the direction of the spike head 2.
[0035] In this embodiment, with Figure 2 To illustrate, when the bag remover is not in use, first loosen the bolt 707, then push the sliding sleeve 701 away from the spike head 2. Under the action of the connecting rod 706, the sliding sleeve 701 moves, causing the spike head 2 to retract into the inner groove 10. At the same time, under the action of the pull rope 704, the winding wheel 703 rotates clockwise, which in turn causes the blade 3 to rotate clockwise (i.e., away from the spike head 2). When the spike head 2 is completely retracted into the inner groove 10, the moving blade 3 also deflects to the point where the cutting edge is located in the receiving groove 6. Finally, tighten the bolt 707 to fix the sliding sleeve 701, so that the spike head 2 and the blade 3 are in a protected state to prevent personnel from accidentally touching and getting injured.
[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pull rope 704 is a steel wire rope to ensure its strength and durability.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the round rod 1 is provided with a sinking groove 8 near the spike head 2 for the end of the blade 3 away from the mounting part 4 to enter. When the bag remover is in use, the end of the blade 3 away from the mounting part 4 is located in the sinking groove 8, so that there is no gap between the blade 3 and the outer surface of the round rod 1, ensuring stable cutting of the outer plastic bag.
[0038] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
