[0002] The multi-point nozzle of the edible fungi liquid spawn inoculation machine is a device component designed for liquid spawn inoculation. Its main function is to evenly spray the liquid spawn onto multiple points on the culture medium to ensure that the spawn is evenly distributed in the culture medium, thereby improving inoculation efficiency and success rate.

[0003] Multi-point nozzles for liquid spawn inoculation machines for edible fungi face challenges due to varying inoculation dosage requirements for different edible fungi varieties and substrate formulations. Traditional multi-point nozzles struggle to precisely control the amount of spawn sprayed from each nozzle; excessive or insufficient inoculation can negatively impact mycelial growth and fungi yield. Furthermore, the nozzle angle cannot be flexibly adjusted to meet inoculation needs, resulting in uneven spawn coverage on the substrate surface. Therefore, we have proposed a multi-point nozzle for liquid spawn inoculation machines for edible fungi. Utility Model Content

[0033] This invention provides a multi-point nozzle for an edible fungus liquid spawn inoculation machine. It can precisely control the liquid spawn flow rate of each nozzle, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the inoculation amount. This provides a suitable amount of spawn for the growth of edible fungi, promoting uniform mycelial growth and improving the yield and quality of the fungi. Simultaneously, it avoids poor growth or resource waste caused by excessive or insufficient inoculation. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 6 It includes: an outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first outer cylinder 1, a first adjustment mechanism 38 for adjusting the dosage of bacteria sprayed by the nozzle inside the inner cylinder 2, and a second adjustment mechanism 96 for adjusting the nozzle angle on the front side of the inner cylinder 2.

[0034] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The outer wall of the connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the second outer cylinder 8, and the internal structure of the second outer cylinder 8 is the same as that of the first outer cylinder 1.

[0035] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The second adjustment mechanism 96 includes a second connecting column 9 fixedly connected to one side of the second outer cylinder 8, and an adjustment rod 91 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second connecting column 9.

[0036] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 and Figure 5A rotating rod 92 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the adjusting rod 91, and a pin 93 is installed between the rotating rod 92 and the adjusting rod 91.

[0037] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 The bottom of the rotating rod 92 is fixedly connected to a second nozzle 94, and the outer wall of the second nozzle 94 is provided with a second liquid outlet 95.

[0038] In summary, when it is necessary to adjust the nozzle angle, the operator rotates the second nozzle 94 to the required angle, then inserts the pin 93 between the adjusting rod 91 and the rotating rod 92 to fix it in place. When the angle needs to be adjusted later, the pin 93 is pulled out and the above steps are repeated.

[0039] The second adjustment mechanism 96 allows the inoculation machine to accurately spray liquid inoculum onto the appropriate location in the culture medium according to different container shapes and sizes, ensuring uniform distribution of inoculum, which is conducive to uniform mycelial growth. It can also precisely control the spraying direction and range of inoculum, maximizing the effect of inoculum on the culture medium, reducing production costs and improving resource utilization.

[0040] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first adjusting mechanism 38 includes a fixing ring 3 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inner cylinder 2, a sealing gasket 31 fixedly connected to one side of the fixing ring 3, a through hole 32 opened on the outer wall of the fixing ring 3, a rubber plug 33 placed on one side of the fixing ring 3, a base plate 36 fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 34, an outer cylinder cover 37 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the first outer cylinder 1, a first connecting post 4 fixedly connected to one side of the fixing ring 3, a first nozzle 5 fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting post 4, a first liquid outlet 6 opened on the outer wall of the first nozzle 5, and a connecting plate 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first outer cylinder 1.

[0041] Please refer to it again. Figure 6 A threaded rod 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the rubber plug 33, and a nut 35 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 34.

[0042] In summary, by aligning the first nozzle 5 with the edible fungus liquid and pulling the bottom plate 37 on the threaded rod 34, the entire threaded rod 34 is pulled out, allowing the liquid to be drawn into the inner cylinder 2. When it is necessary to adjust the bacterial output of the first nozzle 5, the nut 35 is rotated to the corresponding position, and then the threaded rod 34 is pushed inward. Under the action of pressure, the first liquid outlet 6 on the first nozzle 5 can flow out the corresponding amount of liquid, thereby adjusting the output dosage.

[0043] The first adjustment mechanism 38 can precisely control the flow rate of liquid inoculum in each nozzle, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the inoculation amount. This provides a suitable amount of inoculum for the growth of edible fungi, helps the mycelium grow evenly, improves the yield and quality of edible fungi, and avoids poor growth or waste of resources due to excessive or insufficient inoculation.

[0044] In practical use, the operator aims the first nozzle 5 at the liquid for edible fungi and pulls the bottom plate 37 on the threaded rod 34, so that the entire threaded rod 34 is pulled out, allowing the liquid to be sucked into the inner cylinder 2. When it is necessary to adjust the bacterial output of the first nozzle 5, the nut 35 is turned to the corresponding position, and then the threaded rod 34 is pushed inward. Under the action of pressure, the first liquid outlet 6 on the first nozzle 5 can flow out the corresponding amount of liquid, thereby adjusting the output dosage.

[0045] The operation of the other device on the connecting plate 7 is the same as described above when drawing liquid and adjusting the liquid dosage. When it is necessary to adjust the nozzle angle, the operator rotates the second nozzle 94 to the required angle, and then inserts the pin 93 between the adjusting rod 91 and the rotating rod 91 to fix it. When it is necessary to adjust the angle later, the pin 93 is pulled out and the above steps are repeated.
