Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enoki mushroom production technology, and in particular to a enoki mushroom fixed-weight decomposition machine. Background Technology

[0002] Enoki mushrooms, a core variety in my country's edible fungi industry, have an annual output of up to 2.6 million tons. If calculated based on a 400-gram bottle size, the annual production reaches 6.5 billion bottles. Of this massive output, about half of the enoki mushrooms are sold in small packages in supermarkets and hypermarkets. Different supermarkets have different weight requirements for these small packages, commonly 150 grams, 200 grams, and 250 grams. However, the current process of unpacking and weighing enoki mushrooms in these small packages still heavily relies on manual labor. On average, each person can only weigh 450 bottles per hour. Even assuming a maximum working day of 8 hours, each person can only weigh 3,600 bottles per day. If each person works 250 days per year, the annual weight per person is approximately 900,000 bottles. However, given the national demand of 3.25 billion small-packaged bottles, even at this efficiency, 3,611 workers would still be needed annually to complete the disassembly and weighting work. This not only results in a huge demand for manpower and high work intensity, but also means that manual disassembly and weighting often fails to meet the required weight in one go and may require repeated adjustments, which further reduces work efficiency and affects the consistency of product packaging weight.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 A enoki mushroom fixed-weight decomposition machine mainly consists of a frame, an input conveyor line 1, a belt scale 3, a decomposition conveyor line 6, a clamping mechanism, a decomposition mechanism, an output conveyor line, and related auxiliary components. The decomposition machine has a compact overall design and a reasonable layout, aiming to achieve automated fixed-weight decomposition and efficient output of enoki mushrooms 2.

[0022] The decomposer includes a frame, which serves as the overall support structure. One side of the frame is set as the input side, and the other side of the frame is set as the output side, providing a stable platform for the installation and operation of each component.

[0023] The frame, from input to output, is sequentially equipped with an input conveyor line 1, a belt scale 3, a disassembly conveyor line 6, and an output conveyor line. Input conveyor line 1 is responsible for transporting whole enoki mushrooms 2 from the upstream process to the belt scale 3 for weighing. The belt scale 3 is used to weigh the enoki mushrooms 2 as a whole, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent disassembly operations. The weighed enoki mushrooms 2 are then sent to the disassembly conveyor line 6. The disassembly conveyor line 6 is responsible for transporting the enoki mushrooms 2 to the disassembly station 4 and pausing during the disassembly process for clamping and disassembly operations. Specifically:

[0024] A decomposition station 4 for weighing and decomposing enoki mushrooms 2 is provided on the decomposition conveyor line 6. In order to detect whether enoki mushrooms 2 have reached the designated position, a limit switch 5 for detecting enoki mushrooms 2 is also installed on the frame at the decomposition station 4. Preferably, the limit switch 5 is a photoelectric limit switch.

[0025] Clamping mechanisms I7 and II8 for clamping and fixing enoki mushrooms 2 are installed on the frames on both sides of the decomposition station 4. A decomposition mechanism for decomposing enoki mushrooms 2 is installed on the frame directly above the decomposition station 4. Preferably, both clamping mechanisms I7 and II8 include clamping plates and drive cylinders for driving the clamping plates to move horizontally to clamp and fix enoki mushrooms 2. This allows the clamping plates to be driven to move horizontally by the drive cylinders, clamping and fixing enoki mushrooms 2 centrally from both sides, ensuring stability during the decomposition process. The decomposition mechanism includes a cutter 10 and a drive cylinder 9 for driving the cutter 10 to move vertically to decompose enoki mushrooms 2. This allows the cutter 10 to be driven vertically by the drive cylinder 9 to decompose the clamped enoki mushrooms 2 into two parts.

[0026] Preferably, there are two decomposition conveyor lines 6, which are arranged horizontally side by side, with a decomposition gap between the two decomposition conveyor lines 6 to cooperate with the decomposition mechanism.

[0027] To prevent the enoki mushrooms 2 from shifting or falling during the conveying process, limit baffles that cooperate with the enoki mushrooms 2 are also installed on the frame on both sides of the belt scale 3 and the decomposition conveyor line 6 near the belt scale 3.

[0028] To facilitate the separation and transport of the decomposed enoki mushrooms 2, the output conveying line includes two symmetrically arranged output conveying lines I12 and II11 on both sides of the frame. The conveying directions of output conveying lines I12 and II11 are opposite. A separator block 13 for separating the decomposed enoki mushrooms 2 is also installed between output conveying lines I12 and II11. Preferably, the separator block 13 is in the shape of a regular triangular prism.

[0029] In actual use, the input conveyor line 1, the decomposition conveyor line 6, and the output conveyor line are all belt conveyors, and the belt scale 3 is an electronic belt scale.

[0030] A method for the weight-based decomposition of enoki mushrooms, the steps of which are as follows:

[0031] (1) Input conveyor line 1 starts to send the whole enoki mushroom 2 to belt scale 3. Belt scale 3 weighs the whole mushroom and then sends it to disassembly conveyor line 6.

[0032] (2) The decomposition conveyor line 6 transports the enoki mushrooms 2 to the decomposition station 4, and the decomposition conveyor line 6 is paused.

[0033] (3) Clamping mechanism I7 and clamping mechanism II8 operate simultaneously to clamp and fix the enoki mushroom 2 from both sides in the center;

[0034] (4) According to the set required weight and the total weight measured by the belt scale 3, control the clamping mechanism I7 and clamping mechanism II8 to move the enoki mushroom 2 to one side by a distance L, and then the cutter 10 moves down to decompose the enoki mushroom 2 into two parts.

[0035] The distance L by which clamping mechanism I7 and clamping mechanism II8 move enoki mushroom 2 to one side is determined according to a pre-set database. The database stores data sets, each of which includes the required weight of enoki mushroom, the total weight of enoki mushroom, and the offset distance.

[0036] The data groups in the database come from:

[0037] Create a solid 3D model of the clamped enoki mushrooms and separate them from the central axis. Theoretically, the enoki mushrooms separated from the central axis are equal to 1 / 2 of the total weight. Then calculate the weight change for every 0.1mm offset. Calculate N 0.1mm offsets to obtain different weight changes, and use this as a basis to calculate the data set.

[0038] The method for determining the offset distance is as follows: first, find the corresponding data group based on the total weight of enoki mushrooms; then, find the matching data group in the corresponding data group based on the required weight of enoki mushrooms; and finally, determine the offset distance based on the data group.

[0039] Among them, an error value is set for the total weight of enoki mushrooms. Specifically, the total weight of enoki mushrooms in the database is a weight range. When the total weight of enoki mushrooms actually weighed is within this weight range, the data group containing this weight range is the matching data group.

[0040] When determining the data set, a correction factor needs to be set based on the actual required weight of enoki mushrooms to obtain the required weight of enoki mushrooms in the data set. That is, the required weight of enoki mushrooms in the data set = actual required weight of enoki mushrooms + actual required weight of enoki mushrooms * correction factor. Wherein, when the actual required weight of enoki mushrooms is less than 200 grams, the correction factor is 15%; when the actual required weight of enoki mushrooms is greater than or equal to 200 grams, the correction factor is 10%. For example, when the actual required weight of enoki mushrooms is 150 grams, the required weight of enoki mushrooms in the data set should be 150 + 150 * 10 = 172.5 grams. In other words, when the actual required weight of enoki mushrooms is 150 grams, the enoki mushrooms should be cut according to a weight of 172.5 grams.

[0041] (5) The cutter 10 moves upward and resets, the clamping mechanism I7 and clamping mechanism II8 return to their original positions, the decomposition conveyor line 6 starts and conveys the two decomposed enoki mushrooms 2 to the output conveyor line. At the same time, the separator block 13 separates the two enoki mushrooms 2, so that the two enoki mushrooms 2 fall onto the output conveyor line I12 and the output conveyor line II11 respectively.

[0042] One enoki mushroom segment 2 that passes the weight decomposition falls onto output conveyor line I12 and is then sent to the weighing and packaging line for verification. The other enoki mushroom segment 2 falls onto output conveyor line II11 and is either decomposed again for weight decomposition as needed or directly packaged.

[0043] This application has been put into practical use, as detailed below:

[0044] Since an error of 10 grams is sufficient to meet the requirements for the desired enoki mushroom weight obtained from actual decomposition, the error value for the total weight of the enoki mushrooms is also set at 10 grams. In practice, the total weight of whole enoki mushrooms decomposed is around 500 grams, and the required weights are generally 150 grams, 200 grams, 250 grams, 300 grams, and 350 grams. Therefore, the following database is established (the total weight range does not include the upper endpoint value):

[0045]

[0046]

[0047] The actual weight decomposition operation of enoki mushrooms was performed using this database, and the results are as follows:

[0048] First test: Required weight: 250g (error value: 10g)

[0049] Serial Number Actual weight of whole mushroom (g) Actual weight after decomposition (g) 1 470.3 258.5 2 491.4 249.1 3 491.5 249.4 4 461.6 252 5 475.9 259.5 6 491.8 253.5 7 497.2 254.7 8 491.4 249.9

[0050] Second test: Required weight: 200g (error value: 10g)

[0051] Serial Number Actual weight of whole mushroom (g) Actual weight after decomposition (g) 1 490.7 206.4 2 470.7 202.7 3 471.5 206.1 4 488.4 200.6 5 478.7 209.8 6 450 202.2 7 479.2 203 8 454.9 201.7

[0052] Third test: Required weight: 150g (error value 10g)

[0053] Serial Number Actual weight of whole mushroom (g) Actual weight after decomposition (g) 1 490.5 155 2 498.9 154.6 3 448.4 160.7 4 463.2 149 5 478.3 151.8 6 410.1 152.4 7 468.2 155.3 8 475.5 154.2

[0054] The results of the three experiments show that the weight-based decomposition of enoki mushrooms using this invention can well meet the actual decomposition requirements, and the decomposed enoki mushrooms have good consistency.
