Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of edible fungi cultivation equipment, and in particular to an edible fungi stick perforation aerator. Background Technology

[0002] Edible fungi refer to a class of fungi that can be consumed by humans, mainly including shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and wood ear mushrooms, and are widely used in the food, medicine, and health care fields. In the artificial cultivation of edible fungi, mushroom logs (or bags) are an important carrier for cultivating the fungi. They contain sterilized culture media to provide the nutrients needed for mycelial growth. To promote rapid and even mycelial growth, the logs are usually perforated for oxygenation, improving their permeability and enhancing internal oxygen supply, thereby accelerating mycelial colonization and development.

[0003] Existing technology, such as utility model patent CN208080095U, discloses a mushroom bag perforation and oxygenation machine, including a frame, support legs, a bag conveying device, a perforation chamber, and a perforating roller. This device automatically transports mushroom bags placed on a bag carrier to the perforation chamber via a conveyor belt, and rotates the bag with the carrier during the perforation process, achieving uniform needle perforation of the bag's outer surface, effectively improving processing efficiency and reducing the risk of manual operation. However, in practical applications, it has been found that this equipment still has technical defects: it only achieves mechanical perforation of the bags but lacks a matching oxygen delivery system. This results in the inability to immediately replenish oxygen to the inside of the bags after perforation, affecting the actual oxygenation effect. Due to the lack of synchronous oxygen supply, the oxygen distribution inside the mushroom bags is uneven, easily causing inconsistent mycelial growth rates, which in turn affects the quality and uniformity of subsequent mushroom production.

[0004] Therefore, to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, we urgently need a mushroom log perforation and aeration machine to solve this problem. This new type of equipment should be able to efficiently and uniformly perforate the logs while immediately and precisely supplying oxygen to the interior, improving oxygen utilization and mycelial growth consistency. Simultaneously, it should optimize the overall machine structure design to ensure safe and convenient operation, better meeting the high standards of intelligent production equipment required for modern, intensive mushroom cultivation, and providing strong support for the high-quality development of the mushroom industry. Utility Model Content

[0008] A placement plate is slidably connected to the top of the horizontal plate. One side of the placement plate is connected to one side of the mounting frame via a horizontal pushing structure. A clamping structure is provided on the top of the placement plate.

[0009] Guide rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the horizontal plate, and the placement plate slides in conjunction with the guide rods.

[0010] The placement plate has a moving groove at the top center. The clamping structure includes two clamping plates symmetrically arranged on the top of the placement plate. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected inside the moving groove. A drive motor that cooperates with the bidirectional lead screw is installed on one side of the placement plate.

[0011] The horizontal pushing structure includes a pushing cylinder mounted on one side of the mounting bracket, and the output end of the pushing cylinder is connected to one side of the placement plate.

[0012] The placement plate has grooves on both sides of its top, and sliders that slide in cooperation with the grooves are fixedly connected to both sides of its bottom.

[0013] Both clamping plates are made of metal, and flexible pads are fixedly connected to the sides of the two clamping plates that are close to each other.

[0014] This utility model discloses a mushroom log perforation and aeration machine. Through a dual-station collaborative structure of a perforation cylinder and a perforation needle, along with an aeration cylinder and aeration needle tube, oxygen is precisely introduced into the mushroom log simultaneously with perforation, ensuring synchronization between perforation and aeration, and improving oxygen utilization and the consistency of mycelial growth.

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, an edible mushroom stick perforation aerator of this embodiment includes a mounting frame 1 and a horizontal plate 2 set at the bottom of the mounting frame 1. A perforation cylinder 5 is installed on one side of the inner top of the mounting frame 1, and an aeration cylinder 7 is installed on the other side of the inner top. A controller 4 is installed on one side of the mounting frame 1, and an aerator 8 is installed on the other side.

[0025] The output end of the puncture cylinder 5 is connected to the puncture needle 17 through the puncture plate 16, the output end of the oxygen-enhancing cylinder 7 is connected to the oxygen-enhancing needle tube 18 through the oxygen-enhancing disc 19, and the output end of the oxygenator 8 is connected to a connecting pipe with one end communicating with the inside of the oxygen-enhancing disc 19.

[0026] A placement plate 3 is slidably connected to the top of the horizontal plate 2. One side of the placement plate 3 is connected to one side of the mounting frame 1 through a horizontal pushing structure. A clamping structure is provided on the top of the placement plate 3.

[0027] The workflow is as follows: First, the mushroom sticks to be processed are placed on the placement plate 3 and fixed by the clamping structure to prevent displacement during subsequent operations. Then, the horizontal pushing structure is activated, causing the placement plate 3 to slide along the horizontal plate 2 to the working position inside the mounting frame 1. At this time, the controller 4 controls the piercing cylinder 5 to move downward, causing the piercing plate 16 to move downward, so that the piercing needle 17 is aligned with the surface of the mushroom stick and completes the uniform piercing operation. Next, the oxygenation cylinder 7 drives the oxygenation plate 19 downward, so that the oxygenation needle tube 18 is inserted into the pierced hole. At the same time, the oxygenator 8 delivers oxygen into the oxygenation plate 19 through the connecting pipe. The oxygen is precisely injected into the inside of the mushroom stick through the oxygenation needle tube 18 to achieve synchronous oxygenation. After completing one round of operation, all actuators are reset, the horizontal pushing structure is activated again, and the next mushroom stick is pushed to the working position to continue the cycle.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, an edible mushroom stick perforation and aeration machine has guide rods 6 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the horizontal plate 2. The placement plate 3 slides with the guide rods 6. Specifically, by fixing guide rods 6 to both sides of the top of the horizontal plate 2 and sliding with the guide rods 6, the placement plate 3 slides along the guide rods 6 during the working process, allowing the mushroom stick to move smoothly and accurately to the perforation and aeration working position. This improves the operating accuracy and stability of the equipment, ensuring that each mushroom stick receives uniform perforation and sufficient oxygen replenishment.

[0030] The horizontal pushing structure includes a pushing cylinder 20 installed on one side of the mounting frame 1. The output end of the pushing cylinder 20 is connected to one side of the placement plate 3. Specifically, through the setting of the horizontal pushing structure including the pushing cylinder 20 installed on one side of the mounting frame 1 and the output end of the pushing cylinder 20 connected to one side of the placement plate 3, in the working process, the pushing cylinder 20 pushes the placement plate 3 to slide along the horizontal plate 2, realizing the automatic feeding and positioning of the mushroom sticks, achieving the purpose of improving production efficiency and reducing manual intervention, making the entire puncture and oxygenation process more automated and efficient.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5As shown in this embodiment, an edible mushroom stick perforation aerator has a movable groove 10 at the top center of the placement plate 3. The clamping structure includes two clamping plates 12 symmetrically arranged on the top of the placement plate 3. A bidirectional lead screw 11 is rotatably connected inside the movable groove 10. A drive motor 13 that cooperates with the bidirectional lead screw 11 is installed on one side of the placement plate 3. A movable rod 15 that slides inside the movable groove 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping plate 12. The movable rod 15 is threadedly engaged with the bidirectional lead screw 11. Specifically, starting the drive motor 13 drives the bidirectional lead screw 11 to rotate, causing the two clamping plates 12 to move inward or outward synchronously, thereby achieving stable clamping of mushroom sticks of different sizes. This enhances the versatility and adaptability of the equipment, while ensuring the stability and safety of the mushroom sticks during processing.

[0033] The top two sides of the placement plate 3 are provided with sliding grooves 9, and the bottom two sides of the placement plate 3 are fixedly connected with sliders 14 that slide in cooperation with the sliding grooves 9. Specifically, by providing sliding grooves 9 on both sides of the top of the placement plate 3 and sliders 14 that slide in cooperation with the sliding grooves 9 on both sides of the bottom of the placement plate 3, the sliding of the sliders 14 in the sliding grooves 9 provides additional guiding support during the working process, further enhancing the smoothness of movement and directional accuracy of the placement plate 3, thereby optimizing the operating performance of the equipment, reducing mechanical wear, extending the service life of the equipment, and improving operational reliability.

[0034] Both clamping plates 12 are made of metal, and flexible pads are fixedly connected to the sides of the two clamping plates 12 that are close to each other. Specifically, by making both clamping plates 12 of metal and fixing flexible pads to the sides of the two clamping plates 12 that are close to each other, during the working process, the metal clamping plates 12 provide sufficient strength to support and fix the mushroom sticks, while the flexible pads provide cushioning protection during the clamping process to avoid damage to the mushroom sticks. This achieves the dual effect of ensuring both clamping firmness and protecting the integrity of the mushroom sticks, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment and the user experience.

[0035] During equipment operation, the mushroom logs to be processed are first placed on the placement plate 3. The drive motor 13 is started, causing the bidirectional lead screw 11 to rotate, which drives the two clamping plates 12 to move closer together. The flexible pads securely hold the mushroom logs, preventing them from shifting during subsequent operations. Then, the cylinder 20 is activated, pushing the placement plate 3 to slide along the guide rod 6 to the working position inside the mounting frame 1. At this time, the controller 4 controls the piercing cylinder 5 to start, driving the piercing plate 16 downward, so that the piercing needle 17 is vertically inserted into the surface of the mushroom log to complete the uniform piercing operation. Immediately afterwards, the oxygenation cylinder 7 drives the oxygenation plate 19 downward, so that the oxygenation needle tube 18 is accurately inserted into the pierced hole. At the same time, the oxygenator 8 supplies oxygen to the oxygenation plate 19 through the connecting pipe. The oxygen is precisely injected into the inside of the mushroom log through the oxygenation needle tube 18, achieving synchronous and efficient oxygenation. After completion, each actuator is reset, and the cylinder 20 is started again to push the next mushroom log to the working position, entering the next cycle operation.

[0036] This technical solution brings about comprehensive technological improvements and effectively solves the problems of existing puncture equipment, such as lack of a synchronous oxygen supply system, low efficiency, and high degree of manual intervention. First, the dual-station collaborative structure consisting of the piercing cylinder 5, piercing needle 17, and oxygenation cylinder 7 and oxygenation needle tube 18 allows oxygen to be introduced into the mushroom log simultaneously with piercing, ensuring synchronization between piercing and oxygenation, and improving oxygen utilization and mycelial growth consistency. Second, the aerator 8 forms a closed-loop oxygen supply system with the oxygenation disc 19 via a connecting pipe, enabling pressure-controlled and flow-stable oxygen supply to meet the differentiated oxygen requirements of different fungal species. Third, the clamping structure uses a metal clamping plate 12 with a flexible pad design, ensuring not only secure clamping but also preventing damage to the outer wall of the mushroom log, thus improving the safety and practicality of the equipment. In addition, the sliding guide system consisting of the push cylinder 20, guide rod 6, slide groove 9, and slider 14 enables automatic feeding and accurate positioning of the mushroom log, significantly improving production efficiency and automation level. Finally, the introduction of the controller 4 allows for programmable control of the entire operation process, enhancing the ease of operation and stability of the equipment.

Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
