Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting equipment technology, and in particular to an edible fungus inoculator. Background Technology
[0002] The current process of artificially cultivating edible fungi consists of three stages: cultivating edible fungi strains, making production bags for edible fungi cultivation, and inoculation. The inoculation stage involves a relatively large workload. To facilitate inoculation, an inoculator is generally used, through which an insertion tube is inserted into the cultivation bag to add the bacterial solution into the cultivation bag.
[0003] A search revealed, for example, the edible fungus inoculator provided by patent publication number CN220712332U, which includes an inoculation cylinder. A limiting frame is fixedly installed in the upper part of the inner cavity of the inoculation cylinder. A storage tank is fixedly installed at the top of the inoculation cylinder. A separator is installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the storage tank. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity of the separator. An electric cylinder connected to the upper end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the separator. A top rod is fixedly installed at the lower end of the electric telescopic rod, which slides into the inner cavity of the limiting frame. The top rod can be raised and lowered. When the culture medium is inserted into the lower part of the inoculation cylinder, it is in a closed state to prevent the culture medium from entering the inner cavity of the inoculation cylinder and causing blockage. Controlling the rise of the top rod can facilitate the injection of bacterial liquid into the culture medium from the lower part of the inoculation cylinder, making it convenient and efficient to use.
[0004] Based on the above search and analysis of existing technologies, it has been found that existing edible mushroom inoculation devices similar to those disclosed above require the use of various electrical devices, necessitating power connection or periodic charging, which is inconvenient to use. Therefore, an edible mushroom inoculation device is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an edible fungi inoculation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an edible fungus inoculator, comprising an outer cylinder, an outer cone head fixed at the lower end of the outer cylinder, a first discharge hole densely distributed on the outer cone head, and a fixed cover fixed at the top of the outer cylinder;
[0007] The inner cylinder is located inside the outer cylinder and slides against the inner wall of the outer cylinder. An inner cone is fixed at the lower end of the inner cylinder. The inner cone is densely covered with second discharge holes corresponding to the first discharge hole. In the initial state, the second discharge holes are offset from the first discharge hole.
[0008] The piston is vertically slidably fitted against the inner wall of the inner cylinder. A connecting rod is vertically fixed to the top of the piston. A through hole is provided in the middle of the fixed cover. The upper end of the connecting rod slides through the through hole and is fixed with a pressure handle.
[0009] A rotary guide structure is provided between the connecting rod and the fixed cover. When the connecting rod moves down, it rotates the inner cylinder under the action of the rotary guide structure until the second discharge hole coincides with the first discharge hole.
[0010] As a further supplement to this scheme, the distance between two adjacent first discharge holes in the horizontal direction is not less than the diameter of the first discharge hole.
[0011] As a further supplement to this solution, the rotary guide structure includes a guide groove disposed on the side end of the connecting rod and a guide post fixed on the inner wall of the through hole. The guide post and the guide groove are slidably adapted to each other, and the side of the guide groove near the inner cone is set in an inclined shape.
[0012] As a further supplement to this solution, a guide slide rod is vertically fixed on the inner wall of the inner cone head. The guide slide rod slides vertically through the piston and extends to the fixed cover.
[0013] As a further supplement to this solution, a feed hole is provided at the bottom side of the inner cylinder, and a feed pipe connected to the feed hole is fixedly connected to the side of the outer cylinder.
[0014] As a further supplement to this solution, a feeding channel is vertically provided on the inner side of the outer cylinder wall. The upper side of the feeding channel extends to the fixed cover and is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe. The lower side of the feeding channel corresponds to the feeding hole.
[0015] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] In this invention, by using a rotating guide structure, the inoculum is inserted into the culture medium to a suitable depth by holding the outer cylinder. During this process, since the second discharge hole is offset from the first discharge hole, the culture medium will not enter the inoculum through the first discharge hole and cause blockage. After that, pressing the handle will allow the bacterial solution to be injected into the culture medium through the discharge hole and the first discharge hole in sequence, making it more convenient and reliable to use.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example: Reference Figure 1-4 The edible fungus inoculator shown includes an outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 2, and a piston 6.
[0025] The outer cylinder 1 has an outer cone 4 fixed at its lower end, and the outer cone 4 is densely covered with first discharge holes 401. The outer cylinder 1 has a fixed cover 3 fixed at its top. The inner cylinder 2 is located inside the outer cylinder 1 and slides against the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1. The inner cone 5 is fixed at its lower end, and the inner cone 5 is densely covered with second discharge holes 501 corresponding to the first discharge holes 401. The piston 6 is vertically slidably fitted against the inner wall of the inner cylinder 2. The piston 6 has a connecting rod 7 vertically fixed at its top. The fixed cover 3 has a through hole in its middle. The upper end of the connecting rod 7 slides through the through hole and is fixed with a pressure handle 8. A rotary guide structure is provided between the connecting rod 7 and the fixed cover 3.
[0026] The distance between two adjacent first discharge holes 401 in the horizontal direction is not less than the diameter of the first discharge hole 401, ensuring that the second discharge hole 501 and the first discharge hole 401 are completely offset.
[0027] In the initial state, the inner cylinder 2 contains bacterial solution, and the piston 6 is close to the side of the fixed cover 3. At this time, the second discharge hole 501 is offset from the first discharge hole 401. When the handle 8 is pressed, the connecting rod 7 moves the piston 6 downward. Under the action of the rotating guide structure, the connecting rod 7 rotates the inner cylinder 2 until the second discharge hole 501 coincides with the first discharge hole 401. At this time, the bacterial solution is injected into the culture medium through the discharge hole 501 and the first discharge hole 401 in sequence. The operation is convenient and reliable.
[0028] Specifically, the rotary guide structure includes a guide groove 701 located on the side of the connecting rod 7 and a guide post 9 fixed on the inner wall of the through hole. The guide post 9 is slidably adapted to the guide groove 701. The side of the guide groove 701 near the inner cone 5 is set in an inclined shape. A guide slide rod 10 is vertically fixed on the inner wall of the inner cone 5. The guide slide rod 10 slides vertically through the piston 6 and extends to the fixed cover 3.
[0029] In the initial state, the guide post 9 is located at the bottom of the guide groove 701. At this time, the second discharge hole 501 is offset from the first discharge hole 401. After the connecting rod 7 moves down a small distance, the connecting rod 7 rotates the inner cylinder 2 under the relative sliding action between the inclined part of the guide groove 701 and the guide post 9, so that the second discharge hole 501 coincides with the first discharge hole 401.
[0030] To facilitate the replenishment of bacterial solution into the inner cylinder 2, a feed hole 201 is provided at the bottom side of the inner cylinder 2. A feed pipe 11 connected to the feed hole 201 is fixedly connected to the side of the outer cylinder 1. A feed channel 101 is vertically provided on the inner side of the side wall of the outer cylinder 1. The upper side of the feed channel 101 extends to the fixed cover 3 and is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 11. The lower side of the feed channel 101 corresponds to the feed hole 201.
[0031] Users can use conventional injection devices or pumps to inject bacterial solution into the inner cylinder 2 through the feed pipe 11, feed channel 101, and feed hole 201. Of course, the inner cylinder 2 is always connected to the feed channel 101 before and after rotation. In order to ensure that the bacterial solution is not squeezed out of the feed pipe 11 when the piston 6 moves down, a conventional sealing plug or on / off valve can be set at the feed pipe 11 to keep the feed pipe 11 sealed during the injection of bacterial solution into the culture medium.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After injecting the bacterial solution into the inner cylinder 2 through the feed pipe 11, feed channel 101 and feed hole 201 using a conventional injection device or pump, the feed pipe 11 is sealed. At this time, the piston 6 is close to the side of the fixed cover 3, and the guide post 9 is located at the bottom of the guide groove 701. At this time, the second discharge hole 501 is offset from the first discharge hole 401. Then, the inoculum is inserted into the culture medium to a suitable depth by holding the outer cylinder 1. During this process, because the second discharge hole 501 is offset from the first discharge hole 401, the culture medium will not enter the inoculum through the first discharge hole 401 and cause blockage.
[0033] Next, press the handle 8, causing the connecting rod 7 to move down a short distance. Under the relative sliding action between the inclined part of the guide groove 701 and the guide post 9, the connecting rod 7 rotates the inner cylinder 2, thereby making the second discharge hole 501 coincide with the first discharge hole 401. After that, when the handle 8 is pressed down again, causing the connecting rod 7 to move down with the piston 6, the vertical part of the guide groove 701 slides and adapts with the guide post 9, and the bacterial solution is injected into the culture medium through the discharge hole 501 and the first discharge hole 401 in sequence.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
