Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] An automatic inoculation machine is a device used to automate the inoculation process in edible mushroom production. During mushroom cultivation, the culture medium and the spawn need to be mixed, and then the mixture is inoculated onto the culture medium to promote the growth and reproduction of the mushrooms. Traditionally, this inoculation process was done manually, but with technological advancements, automatic inoculation machines have been introduced to improve production efficiency and consistency.

[0003] For example, the automatic inoculation machine for edible fungi disclosed in authorization announcement number CN215012176U connects a conveying and pushing device, a sterilization device, and an inoculation device mounted on a frame. The conveying and pushing device has a conveyor belt, and a motor-driven pusher plate is located on one side of the conveyor belt, pushing the masterbatch off the conveyor belt. A sterilization device is located above the feeding end of the conveyor belt, and an inoculation device is located above the conveyor belt. The sterilization device has a masterbatch conveying channel. The beneficial effects of this invention using the above technical solution are: the inoculation machine, equipped with a sterilization device, can inoculate multiple masterbatches in a single batch, and return multiple masterbatches after inoculation.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent can sterilize using ultraviolet light in a sterilization device, ultraviolet sterilization requires a certain duration. For example, with UVC wavelengths of 100-280 nanometers, several minutes of ultraviolet irradiation is necessary. However, in the process of conveying the masterbatch, the contact time between the masterbatch and ultraviolet light is relatively short, resulting in a low degree of sterilization. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic inoculation machine for edible fungi to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

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

[0015] Preferably, the automatic inoculation machine body has guide rails at both ends on the side away from the sterilization chamber, and the baffle is movably connected to the guide rails on both sides.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This automatic inoculation machine for edible fungi uses a belt conveyor, sterilization chamber, top shell, ultraviolet lamp, and baffle curtain in combination. The time for edible fungi to be conveyed from the sterilization chamber into the automatic inoculation machine body is set to be more than ten minutes. This allows the ultraviolet lamp to continue sterilizing for a longer time, resulting in a higher sterilization effect for the edible fungi. In addition, the baffle curtains set at both ends of the sterilization chamber can further prevent external dust or debris from entering the sterilization chamber, thereby achieving the purpose of effective sterilization.

[0018] 2. This automatic inoculation machine for edible fungi works by using the machine body, support, electric push rod, baffle, and guide rail in conjunction. After the edible fungi are sterilized by ultraviolet lamps, they are conveyed into the automatic inoculation machine body by a belt conveyor for inoculation. After all the edible fungi to be processed have been inoculated, the electric push rod at the top of the support is activated. After the electric push rod is activated, it controls the baffle to descend. When the baffle descends, it is guided by the guide rails at both ends, closing the end of the automatic inoculation machine body away from the sterilization chamber. The other end of the sterilization chamber has a curtain to block the dust. This can serve the purpose of dust prevention when not in use. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] An automatic inoculation machine for edible fungi includes an automatic inoculation machine body 1; a belt conveyor 2 is provided below the automatic inoculation machine body 1; an opening and closing mechanism is provided on the side of the automatic inoculation machine body 1 away from the belt conveyor 2; the opening and closing mechanism includes a bracket 10; the bracket 10 is fixedly installed at the top center of the side of the automatic inoculation machine body 1 away from the sterilization chamber 3; an electric push rod 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the bracket 10; a baffle 12 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the electric push rod 11; guide rails 13 are provided at both ends of the side of the automatic inoculation machine body 1 away from the sterilization chamber 3; and the baffle 12 is movably connected to the guide rails 13 on both sides.

[0027] In this embodiment, after the edible fungi are sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp 6, they are sent to the automatic inoculation machine body 1 by the belt conveyor 2 for inoculation. After all the edible fungi that need to be processed are inoculated, the electric push rod 11 at the top of the support 10 is activated. After the electric push rod 11 is activated, the baffle 12 is lowered. When the baffle 12 is lowered, it is guided by the guide rails 13 at both ends, closing the end of the automatic inoculation machine body 1 away from the sterilization box 3. The other end of the sterilization box 3 is blocked by the curtain 9, so that it can be used for dust prevention when not in use.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a sterilization chamber 3 is installed at the end of the belt conveyor 2 away from the automatic inoculation machine body 1. A sterilization mechanism is installed inside the sterilization chamber 3. The sterilization mechanism includes a top shell 4, which is fixedly installed at the top center of the sterilization chamber 3. A power controller 5 is installed at the center of the top center of the inner side of the top shell 4, and an ultraviolet lamp 6 is installed at the center of the inner side of the top shell 4. The ultraviolet lamp 6 is electrically connected to the power controller 5. Curtains 9 are installed on both sides above the sterilization chamber 7 of the sterilization chamber 3. The bottom ends of the two curtains 9 are not connected to the bottom of the sterilization chamber 7.

[0029] In this embodiment, during sterilization, edible fungi are placed into the sterilization chamber 3 from the side of the belt conveyor 2 closest to the sterilization chamber 3. After entering the sterilization chamber 3, the edible fungi are continuously sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp 6. The time for the edible fungi to be conveyed from the sterilization chamber 3 into the automatic inoculation machine body 1 is set to be more than ten minutes. This allows for a longer continuous sterilization time of the ultraviolet lamp 6, resulting in a higher sterilization effect for the edible fungi. Furthermore, the curtains 9 set at both ends of the sterilization chamber 3 can further prevent external dust or debris from entering the sterilization chamber 7, thereby facilitating effective sterilization.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the sterilization mechanism also includes a sterilization chamber 7, which is located inside the sterilization chamber 3, and a filter screen 8 is provided between the top shell 4 and the sterilization chamber 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, a filter screen 8 is provided between the top shell 4 and the sterilization chamber 7 to prevent dust from entering the top shell 4.

[0032] Working principle: During operation, edible fungi are placed into the sterilization chamber 3 from the side of the belt conveyor 2 closest to the sterilization chamber 3. After entering the sterilization chamber 3, the edible fungi are continuously sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp 6. The time for the edible fungi to be conveyed from the sterilization chamber 3 into the automatic inoculation machine body 1 is set to be more than ten minutes, so that the continuous sterilization time of the ultraviolet lamp 6 is longer, resulting in a higher sterilization effect. In addition, the curtains 9 set at both ends of the sterilization chamber 3 can further prevent external dust or debris from entering the sterilization chamber 7. After the edible fungi are sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp 6, they are sent into the automatic inoculation machine body 1 by the belt conveyor 2 for inoculation. After all the edible fungi to be processed are inoculated, the electric push rod 11 at the top of the support 10 is activated. After the electric push rod 11 is activated, it controls the baffle 12 to descend. When the baffle 12 descends, it is guided by the guide rails 13 at both ends, closing the end of the automatic inoculation machine body 1 away from the sterilization chamber 3. The other end of the sterilization chamber 3 is blocked by the curtain 9, which can prevent dust when not in use.
