Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mushroom cultivation technology, and in particular to an improved mushroom inoculation device. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, mushrooms are rich in amino acids, vitamins, and other nutrients, making them not only delicious but also highly nutritious, thus gaining increasing popularity and leading to a growing demand. Consequently, the technology of artificial inoculation and cultivation has also developed. Normally, mushroom inoculation is done manually in an inoculation box. In a sterile environment, the inoculum is injected into the inoculation container using an inoculation gun, and then the container is sealed. However, manual operation is inefficient. Therefore, the applicant published a mushroom inoculation device on February 27, 2024, which includes a conveying device in the feed hopper. The conveying device includes a guide pipe located at the bottom of the feed hopper, a rotating shaft along the length of the guide pipe, and a spiral plate on the outside of the rotating shaft. In actual use, it was found that there was a gap between the spiral plate and the feed hopper, which resulted in a lot of residual inoculum remaining in the feed hopper. This not only caused waste of residual inoculum, but also sometimes resulted in the inoculum injected into the inoculation container not meeting the qualified standards. This also affected the growth of the mushrooms in the inoculation container. Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements based on this situation. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems that need to be solved

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an improved mushroom inoculation device that reduces residual spores, ensuring more complete spore inoculation into the inoculation container.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0034] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5An improved mushroom inoculation device includes a hopper 1 for holding spawn, a conveying device 2 on the hopper 1, through which the spawn is conveyed via perforations. The conveying device 2 is equipped with a drive source, typically an electric motor, to drive its movement. The conveying device 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 passing through the hopper 1, capable of rotation. A spiral plate 22 is mounted on the shaft 21, extending outwards from the hopper 1 to facilitate the transfer of spawn. A scraper 23 is mounted on the shaft 21 inside the hopper 1. During rotation, the scraper 23 rotates with the shaft 21, with one end contacting the lower inner wall of the hopper 1. This allows the spawn at the bottom of the hopper 1 to be turned upwards and transferred out through the shaft 21 and spiral plate 22 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transmission method (as shown by the arrow) not only makes the structure more stable, but also makes it easier to punch holes and transmit bacteria more stably, which is more conducive to meeting the user's needs. The other end of the rotating shaft 21 extends from the feed hopper 1 and is equipped with a drive source for easy driving.

[0035] Example 2: This can be explained based on Example 1, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower part of the feed hopper 1 is concave arc-shaped, which is beneficial for the placement of the inoculum. When the scraper 23 rotates, it is tangent to the inner wall of the concave arc-shaped feed hopper 1, that is, the scraper 23 can rotate in the concave arc-shaped feed hopper 1. This allows the inoculum in the concave arc-shaped feed hopper 1 to be turned up better, and then the turned-up inoculum is transferred out through the spiral plate 22.

[0036] Example 3: Based on Example 1 or Example 2, the scraper 23 is in an arc shape or a strip shape (e.g., Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown), this type can not only rotate with the rotating shaft 21, but also turn the bacteria in the lower part of the feed hopper 1 upwards. At the same time, there are many types, so there is a wide range of choices.

[0037] Example 4: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, or Example 3, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, at least one fixed seat 211 is provided on the rotating shaft 21. In this embodiment, the fixed seat 211 is welded onto the rotating shaft 21. The scraper 23 is locked to the fixed seat 211 by a locking member 231. In this embodiment, the locking member 231 is a screw, bolt, or bolt, which facilitates disassembly and installation. Further explanation: two fixed seats 211 are used, each corresponding to one locking member 231. This arrangement helps to more firmly connect the scraper 23 to the rotating shaft 21, allowing the scraper 23 to rotate together with the rotating shaft 21.

[0038] Example 5: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 4, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a front mounting cylinder 212 and a rear mounting cylinder 213 are provided at the feed hopper 1 position of the rotating shaft 21. Both the front mounting cylinder 212 and the rear mounting cylinder 213 are integrally formed with the feed hopper 1, which helps to improve the structural strength. One end of the rotating shaft 21 with the spiral plate 22 is located in the front mounting cylinder 212, which is conducive to the transfer of the inoculum (e.g., Figure 4 and Figure 5 (Transmitted out in the manner of arrows), the other end of the rotating shaft 21 extends out from the rear mounting cylinder 213, and a bearing 214 is provided on the rotating shaft 21 in the rear mounting cylinder 213, which is beneficial to realize the rotation of the rotating shaft 21.

[0039] Example 6: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, or Example 5, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the rotating shaft 21 extends out from the feed hopper 1 and is provided with a connecting part 24. The connecting part 24 and the rotating shaft 21 are integrally formed. The connecting part 24 is used to install a drive source, which drives the movement of the conveying device 2. The drive source is generally a motor, which is beneficial for driving the rotation of the rotating shaft 21.

[0040] Example 7: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, Example 5, or Example 6, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a handle 3 is provided on the opening end of the feed hopper 1. This facilitates drilling that is not horizontal. One hand holds the handle 3 while the other hand controls the operation via the drive source on the connecting part 24, making it convenient for the user. Specifically, the handle 3 includes a lever 31 movably mounted on the feed hopper 1. The lever 31 has a rubber grip pad 32. The side wall of the feed hopper 1 has perforations, and both ends of the lever 31 pass through corresponding perforations. The two ends of the lever 31 are clearance-fitted with the perforations on the side wall of the feed hopper 1, which facilitates the rotation of the lever 31. Anti-detachment sleeves 33 are also provided at both ends of the lever 31 to prevent it from detaching from the perforations on the side wall of the feed hopper 1. The lever 31 is U-shaped, further enhancing user convenience.

[0041] In operation, the connecting part 24 at the other end of the rotating shaft 21 can be connected to a drive source. This drive source can be an external pistol drill, which is more convenient to operate. Alternatively, it can be a motor drill including the handle and the motor installed in the handle. This source is reliable and the operation is more stable. There are various types available, giving people more choices.

[0042] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts and rivets that are mature in the existing technology. The internal components of the motor adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and their internal structure belongs to the existing technology structure. Workers can complete normal operation by referring to the existing technical manual. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
