Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic mixing and bagging technology of culture medium, and in particular to an automatic mixing and bagging machine for mushroom culture medium. Background Technology

[0002] Deer antler mushroom is a precious edible fungus. Artificial cultivation helps to protect and perpetuate this species, enrich biodiversity, and also provides a material basis for further research and development of the biological characteristics, nutritional value, and medicinal value of deer antler mushroom.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, inconsistent bagging of culture medium will result in different nutrients being obtained by each bag of antler mushrooms. If the bagging is too large, the excess nutrients may lead to excessive mycelial growth, affecting the formation and development of subsequent fruiting bodies. If the bagging is too small, it will lead to insufficient nutrients, slow mycelial growth, weak mycelium, and restricted growth of fruiting bodies, ultimately resulting in reduced yield and quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the existing technology that the inconsistent bagging amount of culture medium leads to different nutrients obtained by each bag of deer antler mushrooms, resulting in inconsistent production of deer antler mushrooms. Therefore, an automatic mixing and bagging machine for deer antler mushroom culture medium is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic mixing and bagging machine for mushroom culture medium, comprising a mixing chamber and a feeding port fixedly connected to its bottom, a mixing assembly installed inside the mixing chamber, a first drive motor fixedly installed on the side wall of the mixing chamber, and a quantitative mechanism installed below the mixing assembly;

[0006] The metering mechanism includes an installation chamber, a material inlet fixedly connected to the top of the installation chamber, a fixing rod fixedly connected to the side wall of the material inlet, a pushing block slidably connected to the inside of the installation chamber, a guide rod fixedly connected to the side wall of the pushing block, one end of the guide rod penetrating the installation chamber and slidably connected to the installation chamber, an installation plate fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the installation chamber, a sealing plate slidably connected to the inside of the installation plate, and an opening on one side of the installation plate.

[0007] Preferably, the sealing plate is located on one side of the opening, and the first cylinder is installed on the side wall of the installation chamber.

[0008] Preferably, the output end of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the push block, and a second cylinder is installed on one side of the mounting plate, with one end of the second cylinder fixedly connected to the sealing plate.

[0009] Preferably, a second drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed rod, and the output end of the second drive motor is fixedly connected to the flip plate.

[0010] Preferably, the flip plate is rotatably connected to the inside of the receiving port.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a discharge port, which communicates with the through port, and a guide port is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge port.

[0012] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes a rotating rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor, and a stirring rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, the first drive motor drives the spiral or staggered stirring rods to stir the mushroom culture medium in all directions, ensuring uniform distribution of components and no clumping, thereby improving the stability and consistency of the spawn growth. After stirring, the opening of the receiving port and the cooperation of the sealing plate are precisely controlled to effectively realize the batch and quantitative feeding of the culture medium. By using the coordinated work of the push block and the opening, the culture medium is ensured to flow smoothly into the bagging area along the set path, realizing automation and precise control in the bagging process, avoiding waste, and improving production efficiency and packaging quality.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, by precisely controlling the initial position of the push block and the distance between the opening, the volume of culture medium in each bag is ensured to be consistent and accurate, meeting the metering accuracy requirements of the automated production line. The first cylinder drives the push block to move smoothly along the preset path, avoiding deviation, jamming or shaking, ensuring the stability and reliability of the pushing process. During the pushing process, the culture medium falls naturally into the receiving bag under the action of gravity, avoiding accumulation and residue, improving bagging efficiency, reducing raw material waste, and facilitating subsequent cleaning and maintenance. At the same time, the second drive motor cooperates with the flipping plate to ensure the smooth loading of the culture medium by controlling the opening and closing of the receiving port.

[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic mixing and bagging machine for mushroom culture medium, including a mixing chamber 1 and a feeding port 11 fixedly connected to its bottom. A mixing component 3 is installed inside the mixing chamber 1, and a first drive motor 2 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mixing chamber 1. A quantitative mechanism 4 is installed below the mixing component 3.

[0024] The metering mechanism 4 includes an installation chamber 41. A receiving port 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the installation chamber 41. A fixing rod 421 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving port 42. A pushing block 46 is slidably connected to the inside of the installation chamber 41. A guide rod 461 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pushing block 46. One end of the guide rod 461 passes through the installation chamber 41 and is slidably connected to the installation chamber 41. An installation plate 45 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the installation chamber 41. A sealing plate 47 is slidably connected to the inside of the installation plate 45. An opening 451 is provided on one side of the installation plate 45.

[0025] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. When the culture medium of *Pleurotus ostreatus* is poured into the mixing chamber 1 for mixing, the first drive motor 2 is started, which drives the rotating rod 31 connected to its output end to rotate continuously. This causes multiple stirring rods 32 located on the outer surface of the rotating rod 31 to rotate synchronously, mixing the culture medium from all directions and angles. The stirring rods 32 are arranged in a spiral or staggered pattern to enhance the mixing effect, ensure that the components of the culture medium are evenly distributed and free of lumps, and improve the stability and consistency of subsequent mycelial growth.

[0026] After mixing is complete, the bagging process begins. At this point, the receiving port 42 is rotated so that its outlet faces downwards, allowing the mixed culture medium to slowly fall from the receiving port 42 into the lower installation chamber 41 under gravity. To prevent the culture medium from falling prematurely before reaching the designated filling volume, the system uses a sealing plate 47 located at the opening 451 to seal it. With the opening 451 effectively blocked, the culture medium can accumulate stably within the installation chamber 41.

[0027] As the culture medium accumulates and reaches the preset capacity, the control system drives the tilting plate 431 to rotate, positioning it to close the receiving port 42, thereby cutting off the material channel between the upper mixing chamber 1 and the installation chamber 41 and preventing further material feeding. Subsequently, the first cylinder 411 located on one side of the installation chamber 41 is activated, pushing its piston rod to drive the pushing block 46 to slide along the bottom of the installation chamber 41, pushing the accumulated culture medium toward the opening 451 during the pushing process.

[0028] Simultaneously, the second cylinder 44 is controlled to operate, driving the sealing plate 47 to move away from the opening 451, thereby opening the opening 451 and allowing the pushed culture medium to be smoothly discharged from the opening 451. During the discharge process, the culture medium is guided smoothly into the bagging area along a set path by the combined action of the discharge port 48 and the guide port 49 located below, ensuring controllable discharge flow rate and achieving quantitative bagging of the culture medium, effectively avoiding waste and uneven packaging.

[0029] Example 2: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sealing plate 47 is located on one side of the opening 451, and a first cylinder 411 is installed on the side wall of the mounting chamber 41. The output end of the first cylinder 411 is fixedly connected to the push block 46. A second cylinder 44 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 45, and one end of the second cylinder 44 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 47. A second drive motor 43 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing rod 421, and the output end of the second drive motor 43 is fixedly connected to the tilting plate 431. The tilting plate 431 is rotatably connected to the inside of the receiving port 42. A discharge port 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 45, and the discharge port 48 communicates with the opening 451. A guide port 49 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the discharge port 48. The stirring assembly 3 includes a rotating rod 31, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor 2, and a stirring rod 32 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 31.

[0030] The overall effect of this embodiment is that, by utilizing the initial position of the push block 46, the distance between the push block 46 and the opening 451 can be preset, thereby precisely controlling the volume of culture medium in each bagging, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the bagging quantity, and meeting the metering accuracy requirements of automated production lines. When the first cylinder 411 is activated, it drives the push block 46 forward along a preset path, pushing the culture medium accumulated at the bottom of the mounting chamber 41 forward. During the pushing process, the push block 46 moves stably along a straight line under the guidance and constraint of the guide rod 461, avoiding problems such as deviation, jamming, or shaking, thereby ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the pushing process.

[0031] As the pusher block 46 moves, the accumulated culture medium is continuously pushed towards the opening 451 and falls naturally into the receiving bag below under gravity. This design effectively avoids the residue and accumulation of culture medium inside the installation chamber 41, improves bagging efficiency, reduces material waste, and facilitates subsequent cleaning and maintenance.

[0032] In addition, the second drive motor 43 works in conjunction with the tilting plate 431 to control the opening and closing state of the receiving port 42. During the bagging process, when material needs to be received, the second drive motor 43 drives the tilting plate 431 to rotate to the open position, allowing the receiving port 42 to flow smoothly into the bag below; after bagging is completed, the second drive motor 43 drives the tilting plate 431 to rotate to the closed position, sealing the receiving port 42.

[0033] The operating method and working principle of this device are as follows: When the culture medium for *Pleurotus eryngii* is poured into the mixing chamber 1 for mixing, the first drive motor 2 drives the rotating rod 31 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring rod 32 on the outer surface of the rotating rod 31 to fully mix the culture medium. During bagging, the culture medium gradually falls into the installation chamber 41 by rotating the receiving port 42. Because the sealing plate 47 blocks the opening 451, the culture medium accumulates in the installation chamber 41.

[0034] As the amount of culture medium accumulates, the receiving port 42 can be closed by rotating the flip plate 431 to stop further feeding. Subsequently, the first cylinder 411 pushes the push block 46 to slide inside the installation chamber 41, while the second cylinder 44 drives the sealing plate 47 to move, thereby opening the opening 451 and allowing the accumulated culture medium to fall out of the opening 451.

[0035] Guided by the discharge port 48 and the guide port 49, the culture medium can be quantitatively bagged. The initial position of the push block 46 can adjust the amount of culture medium bagged each time. During the movement of the push block 46 by the first cylinder 411, the guide rod 461 can guide the push block 46 to move smoothly and push the accumulated culture medium out of the opening 451, preventing the culture medium from remaining in the installation chamber 41.

[0036] In addition, the second drive motor 43 is used to control the rotation of the flip plate 431, thereby switching the on and off state of the docking port 42, which facilitates the control of the culture medium feeding process.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
