Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of edible fungi production technology, and more specifically, it relates to an edible fungi inoculation device that facilitates counting. Background Technology
[0002] Edible mushroom bag cultivation is a highly efficient and intensive production method suitable for the production of various edible fungi such as shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and black fungus. Its core is to use artificially prepared culture medium to replace natural log cultivation, thereby achieving the goals of environmental control and short production cycle.
[0003] Based on the above, most of the inoculators currently on the market adopt a simple handheld structure design, relying solely on the operator's hand strength to control the operation process. When inoculating cylindrical cultivation bags, the surface of the bag is relatively smooth, and the handheld structure has inherent deficiencies in grip stability, making it prone to slippage. This results in the inoculator needle being unable to accurately and stably insert into the predetermined position in the bag, making it difficult to carry out the inoculation work stably and seriously affecting the standardization and efficiency of the inoculation process.
[0004] In actual cultivation operations, accurately determining the inoculation quantity is extremely important for rationally planning the mushroom growing space and controlling nutrient distribution. Existing inoculators often lack this counting function, making it difficult for staff to accurately control the inoculation density. This can easily lead to over- or under-inoculation, which will negatively impact the quality and yield of the mushrooms and ultimately affect the economic benefits of growers. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an edible mushroom spawn inoculator that facilitates counting. This solves the problem that existing spawn inoculators are mostly handheld, which may slip when inoculating cylindrical cultivation bags, thus making it difficult to perform the inoculation work stably. In addition, the spawn receiver cannot count the inoculations, which affects the quality and yield of the mushrooms.
[0006] This utility model provides an edible fungi inoculation device that facilitates counting, achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0007] An edible fungus spawn inoculator for easy counting includes an inoculation assembly, a tightening mechanism, a clamping component, and a support component. The inoculation assembly includes a cylindrical spawn storage chamber, open at one end and closed at the other. A push plate is fixedly connected to the open end. A push rod is located inside the spawn storage chamber, with a sealing piston mounted at one end, slidably connected to the inner wall of the spawn storage chamber. A push handle is located at the other end of the push rod. The closed end of the spawn storage chamber is connected to a spawn delivery pipe. A conical inoculation head is mounted at the end of the spawn delivery pipe, with an inoculation hole that communicates with the spawn delivery pipe. Outside the spawn delivery pipe… A counting sensor is provided on the side, and a counting display screen is provided on the outside of the bacterial storage chamber. The counting display screen is connected to the counting sensor. The tightening mechanism includes two tightening rods, one end of which is penetrated by a rotating rod. There are two sets of rotating rods, and the two sets of rotating rods are connected together at both ends by a pull rod. The clamping component includes two sets of arc-shaped clamping plates. One end of the two sets of clamping plates is hinged to each other, and the other end is provided with two sets of rotating support plates. A rotating rod is provided between the rotating support plates. The support component includes a connecting ring. A sliding sleeve is connected to the middle of the connecting ring through a connecting plate. A support plate with an arc-shaped end face is connected to the outside of the connecting ring through a support rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a circular through hole is formed between the two pull rods, through which the inoculum storage cavity passes and is clamped by the two pull rods, and the other end of the inoculum storage cavity slides through the sliding sleeve.
[0009] Furthermore, the end of the tightening rod away from the first rotating rod is penetrated by the second rotating rod, thereby forming a rotatable connection between the tightening rod and the clamping plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting ring is provided with two sliding rods; the tightening rod is provided with a long sliding groove, and the sliding rod is slidably connected within the long sliding groove.
[0011] Furthermore, a set of force-applying plates are connected to both sides of the connecting ring via connecting heads.
[0012] Furthermore, one of the tightening rods is provided with an L-shaped overlapping rod, the end of which is provided with a triangular hook; the other tightening rod is provided with a limiting block, which has an inclined surface; the triangular hook is hooked onto the limiting block.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention incorporates a counting sensor and a counting display screen. During the inoculation of the substrate with spawn, the number of spawn inoculated is measured by the counting sensor. The measurement result is then displayed intuitively on the counting display screen. This design allows users to easily control the amount of spawn inoculated, ensuring that the amount is neither too much nor too little. Precise control of the inoculation amount plays a crucial role in ensuring the subsequent fruiting yield and quality of the substrate, avoiding problems such as reduced fruiting yield or poor quality due to improper inoculation.
[0015] This invention features a specially designed clamping component, which includes clamping plates. The clamping plates can be tightened via a specific tightening mechanism, thus securing the cultivation bag material firmly between two sets of clamping plates. Simultaneously, a support component is provided to securely fix and support the inoculation assembly on one side of the cultivation bag material. This overall design effectively prevents slippage during inoculation due to the cultivation bag material sliding or other unstable factors, ensuring accurate and error-free inoculation of the cultivation bag material and greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of the inoculation work.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0030] Example:
[0031] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 As shown:
[0032] This utility model provides an edible fungi spawn inoculator for easy counting, including an inoculation component 10, a tightening mechanism 20, a clamping component 30, and a support component 40. The inoculation component 10 includes a cylindrical spawn storage cavity 11, which is open at one end and closed at the other. A push plate 12 is fixedly connected to the open end. A push rod 13 is provided inside the spawn storage cavity 11. A sealing piston is installed at one end of the push rod 13, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the spawn storage cavity 11. A push handle 131 is provided at the other end of the push rod 13. The closed end of the spawn storage cavity 11 is connected to a spawn delivery pipe 14. A conical inoculation head 15 is installed at the end of the spawn delivery pipe 14. The inoculation head 15 has an inoculation hole 151, which is connected to the spawn delivery pipe 14. A counting sensor 16 is provided on the outside of the tube 14, and a counting display screen 17 is provided on the outside of the culture storage chamber 11. The counting display screen 17 is connected to the counting sensor 16. The tightening mechanism 20 includes two tightening rods 21. One end of the tightening rod 21 is penetrated by a rotating rod 22. There are two sets of rotating rods 22. The two sets of rotating rods 22 are connected together at both ends by a pulling rod 23. The clamping member 30 includes two sets of arc-shaped clamping plates 31. One end of the two sets of clamping plates 31 is hinged to each other, and the other end is provided with two sets of rotating support plates 32. A rotating rod 33 is provided between the rotating support plates 32. The support member 40 includes a connecting ring 41. A sliding sleeve 43 is connected to the middle of the connecting ring 41 through a connecting plate 42. The outer side of the connecting ring 41 is connected to a support plate 48 with an arc-shaped end face through a support rod 47.
[0033] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, a circular through hole is formed between the two pull rods 23, as... Figure 1 As shown, the inoculum storage cavity 11 passes through the through hole and is clamped by two pull rods 23. The other end of the inoculum storage cavity 11 slides through the sliding sleeve 43. The inoculum storage cavity 11 can be pushed forward between the tightening mechanism 20 and the support member 40, thereby causing the inoculation head 15 to pierce the cultivation bag material.
[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the end of the tightening rod 21 away from the rotating rod 22 is penetrated by the rotating rod 33, thus forming a rotatable connection between the tightening rod 21 and the clamping plate 31; during the process of the two sets of tightening rods 21 closing together, the two sets of clamping plates 31 are driven by the tightening rod 21 to clamp and fix the cultivation bag material.
[0035] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the connecting ring 41 is provided with two sliding rods 44; as Figure 5 As shown, the tightening rod 21 has a long sliding groove 211, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sliding rod 44 is slidably connected within the long sliding groove 211; as Figure 7As shown, a set of force-applying plates 46 are connected to both sides of the connecting ring 41 via connecting heads 45; by pushing the force-applying plates 46 forward, the two sets of support plates 48 are clamped on one side of the cultivation bag material, and the tightening rod 21 is driven to close together, thereby fixing and supporting the inoculation assembly 10 through the support member 40 and the clamping member 30.
[0036] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, one tensioning rod 21 is equipped with an L-shaped overlapping rod 24, and the end of the overlapping rod 24 is provided with a triangular hook 241; the other tensioning rod 21 is equipped with a limiting block 25, and the limiting block 25 has a slope; the triangular hook 241 hooks onto the limiting block 25; the overlapping rod 24 has a certain elasticity, and as the two sets of tensioning rods 21 close together, the overlapping rod 24 and the limiting block 25 also gradually approach each other until the triangular hook 241 hooks onto the limiting block 25. Unless the overlapping rod 24 is moved to separate the triangular hook 241 from the limiting block 25, the two sets of tensioning rods 21 are limited and cannot be separated again.
[0037] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0038] In this invention, the cultivation bag material is placed between two sets of clamping plates 31. The force plate 46 is pushed forward, causing the two sets of support plates 48 to clamp onto one side of the cultivation bag material, thereby fixing the inoculation assembly 10 with the support member 40. During the forward pushing of the support member 40, the sliding rod 44 slides within the long sliding groove 211, driving the tightening rod 21 to rotate around the two rotating rods 22 and converge. As the two sets of tightening rods 21 converge, the overlapping rod 24 and the limiting block 25 gradually approach each other until the triangular hook 241 hooks onto the limiting block 25, and the two sets of tightening rods 21 are... The overlapping rod 24 and the limiting block 25 are locked in place and cannot be separated; the tightening rod 21 tightens the two sets of clamping plates 31, thereby firmly clamping the cultivation bag material between the two sets of clamping plates 31; the push plate 12 is pushed forward, causing the inoculation head 15 to pierce the cultivation bag material; the push rod 13 is pushed, and the edible fungi spawn in the spawn storage chamber 11 flows into the cultivation bag material through the spawn delivery pipe 14 from the spawn outlet hole 151 of the inoculation head 15. During this period, the inoculated spawn is counted by the counting sensor 16, and the count is displayed on the counting display screen 17; the amount of spawn inoculated is reasonably controlled to ensure the yield and quality of mushrooms.
