Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet material processing technology, and in particular to a microbial culture medium bottling machine. Background Technology
[0002] The preparation of edible fungi spawn involves multiple steps, one of which is bottling the edible fungi culture medium. Previously, manual bottling was used, which was quite troublesome, wasting a lot of manpower and time resources, and had low bottling efficiency.
[0003] Existing microbial culture medium filling equipment involves first placing the bottles, then manually filling them by aligning the bottle openings with the medium. During filling, the medium enters the bottle and forms a pile, requiring continuous shaking to ensure full filling. Manual filling is not only time-consuming but also inconvenient for consistent volume, resulting in inconsistent medium levels in each bottle. This inconsistency leads to varying nutrient and growth space for the microorganisms, affecting their growth rate and condition. Some microorganisms may grow slowly due to insufficient nutrients, while others may grow too quickly due to excess nutrients, resulting in uneven overall growth. Therefore, a microbial culture medium bottling machine is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a microbial culture medium bottling machine. By setting a quantitative feeding component at the bottom of the hopper, the material cylinder is first filled, and then the culture medium in the material cylinder is poured into the bottle through the guide trough and guide pipe. It can automatically fill a certain amount of culture medium into the bottle, reduce labor costs, and make bottling more accurate.
[0005] This utility model provides a bottling machine for bacterial culture media, including a base, two support frames, and a bottling box. The two support frames are spaced apart at the top of the base, and the bottling box is located at the top of the base. It also includes two linear slides, a hopper, and a lifting plate. The two linear slides are respectively located at the top of the two support frames. The hopper is located above the bottling box, and its left and right sides are respectively connected to the moving ends of the two linear slides. The lifting plate is spaced apart below the hopper. A quantitative feeding component is provided between the lifting plate and the hopper. The lifting plate has multiple guide grooves, and the bottom ends of each guide groove are connected to a guide pipe.
[0006] Preferably, the quantitative feeding assembly includes a support frame, a support plate, a first hydraulic cylinder, a moving block, and multiple material cylinders. The support frame is connected to the bottom end of the hopper, the support plate is connected to the rear side wall of the support frame, the moving block is slidably connected between the left and right walls of the support frame, the first hydraulic cylinder is disposed on the rear side of the support frame, and the left side of the telescopic rod is connected to the rear side of the moving block. The multiple material cylinders are all disposed on the moving block.
[0007] Preferably, each of the plurality of material cylinders is rotatably provided with a cylinder cover at its bottom end, and the bottom end of the cylinder cover is in contact with the top end of the support plate.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom end of the hopper is connected to a plurality of discharge ends, the bottom ends of the plurality of discharge ends are respectively attached to the top ends of a plurality of material cylinders, and the top ends of the plurality of material cylinders and the top end of the moving block are located on the same horizontal plane.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting plate is connected to the rear side of the lifting plate, and a second hydraulic cylinder is provided on the rear side of the support frame.

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention proposes a bottling machine for bacterial culture medium, comprising a base 1, two support frames 2, and a bottling box 7. The two support frames 2 are spaced apart at the top of the base 1, and the bottling box 7 is located at the top of the base 1. It also includes two linear slides 3, a hopper 4, and a lifting plate 6. The two linear slides 3 are respectively located at the top of the two support frames 2. The hopper 4 is located above the bottling box 7, and its left and right sides are respectively connected to the moving ends of the two linear slides 3. The lifting plate 6 is spaced apart below the hopper 4. A quantitative feeding component 5 is provided between the lifting plate 6 and the hopper 4. The lifting plate 6 has multiple guide grooves, and the bottom ends of the multiple guide grooves are all connected to guide pipes 61.
[0021] In this invention, two support frames 2 are located on the left and right sides of the bottling box 7, respectively, and the hopper 4 is located above the bottling box 7. Two linear slides 3 are arranged opposite each other. Simultaneously, the two linear slides 3 are activated to drive the hopper 4 to move back and forth. The lifting plate 6 is located directly below the hopper 4. Two connecting plates 62 are driven by two second hydraulic cylinders 63 to move up and down, placing multiple bottles into the bottling box 7. The culture medium in the hopper 4 is evenly transported to the bottles through the quantitative feeding component 5, and then transported to the bottles through the guide trough and guide pipe 61. The hopper 4 is then moved forward by the two linear slides 3 to continue filling the bottles in front, ensuring that the amount of culture medium in each bottle is the same. This can prevent the time required to prepare qualified strains due to differences in mycelial growth rate.
[0022] In an optional embodiment, the quantitative feeding assembly 5 includes a support frame 51, a support plate 52, a first hydraulic cylinder 53, a moving block 54, and a plurality of material cylinders 55. The support frame 51 is connected to the bottom end of the hopper 4, the support plate 52 is connected to the rear side wall of the support frame 51, the moving block 54 is slidably connected between the left and right walls of the support frame 51, the first hydraulic cylinder 53 is disposed on the rear side of the support frame 51, and the left side of the telescopic rod is connected to the rear side of the moving block 54. The plurality of material cylinders 55 are all disposed on the moving block 54.
[0023] In an optional embodiment, a cap 56 is rotatably provided at the bottom end of each of the plurality of barrels 55, and the bottom end of the cap 56 is in contact with the top end of the support plate 52.
[0024] In an optional embodiment, the bottom end of the hopper 4 is connected to a plurality of discharge ends, the bottom ends of the plurality of discharge ends are respectively attached to the top ends of a plurality of material cylinders 55, and the top ends of the plurality of material cylinders 55 are located on the same horizontal plane as the top end of the moving block 54.
[0025] It should be noted that during feeding, the culture medium inside the hopper 4 first flows into the inside of the cylinder 55 to fill the cylinder 55. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 53 pushes the moving block 54 to move multiple cylinders 55 forward. Multiple discharge ends of the hopper 4 are blocked by the moving block 54. After the cylinder 55 is separated from the support plate 52, the cylinder cover 56 falls and rotates due to gravity. At this time, the culture medium inside the cylinder 55 falls into the guide trough and enters the bottle through the guide pipe 61.
[0026] In an optional embodiment, a connecting plate 62 is connected to the rear side of the lifting plate 6, and a second hydraulic cylinder 63 is provided on the rear side of the support frame 51. The telescopic rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 63 is vertically downward and its bottom end is connected to the connecting plate 62.
[0027] It should be noted that by using the second hydraulic cylinder 63 to drive the connecting plate 62 to move downward, the lifting plate 6 moves up and down, thereby bringing the guide tube 61 closer to the bottle mouth.
[0028] In an optional embodiment, the bottling box 7 is provided with a perforated plate 71, a shock-absorbing support leg 8 is provided between the bottling box 7 and the base 1, and a vibration motor 9 is installed at the bottom of the bottling box 7.
[0029] It should be noted that by using the vibration motor 9 and the shock-absorbing support legs 8 to make the bottling box 7 vibrate up and down continuously, it helps to distribute the material evenly in the filling container, avoid local accumulation or gaps, and ensure that the amount of material in each container is consistent.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
