Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment technology, and specifically discloses a device for mixing, spreading and ridging edible fungi substrate. Background Technology

[0002] In the cultivation of edible fungi, the process begins with ridging and furrowing in the planting field, creating raised ridges on the surface. A substrate is then laid on the ridges to provide nutrients for the fungi's growth. Cow manure, a major byproduct of animal husbandry, can be mixed with straw fragments and used as a nutrient substrate for edible fungi cultivation. However, due to the lack of relevant agricultural machinery, the entire process of ridging, furrowing, and substrate application is done manually, resulting in high labor costs and low efficiency, hindering large-scale, high-yield cultivation. Therefore, this application proposes a substrate mixing and ridging device for edible fungi cultivation, automating the ridging, furrowing, and substrate application processes to facilitate large-scale, high-yield cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for mixing, spreading, and ridging edible fungi substrate, in order to solve the shortcomings of existing large-scale edible fungi cultivation methods that require manual ridging, trenching, and laying of nutrient substrate.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A device for mixing, spreading, and ridging edible fungi substrate includes a hopper. The lower end of the hopper is connected to a rectangular trough extending from its rear end. The bottom of the rear end of the rectangular trough has multiple discharge ports, and a partition is provided on one side of each discharge port. The multiple discharge ports form a stair-shaped combined discharge port. A mixing shaft corresponding to each discharge port is arranged side by side and rotates in the rectangular trough. Each mixing shaft is provided with a spiral blade extending to the corresponding discharge port. A first ridging mechanism and a second ridging mechanism are respectively provided on both sides of the rear end of the rectangular trough and are centered and aligned with the combined discharge port in the width direction of the ridge.

[0006] As a further provision of the above scheme, the front end of the stirring shaft extends out of the rectangular material trough, and a transmission wheel is provided at the front end of the stirring shaft extending out of the rectangular material trough. A bearing seat connected to the stirring shaft is provided at the rear end of the rectangular material trough.

[0007] As a further feature of the above scheme, the outermost drive wheel is connected to the power source on the traveling machine through a transmission component, and adjacent drive wheels are connected through a transmission component.

[0008] As a further feature of the above scheme, the distance between the multiple discharge ports and the rear end of the rectangular trough gradually increases or decreases, and the front ends of all the spiral blades extend backward from the same position at the front end of the stirring shaft to the position of the corresponding discharge port.

[0009] As a further provision of the above scheme, both the first ridging mechanism and the second ridging mechanism include a lifting device fixed to the rear end of the rectangular material trough. The lower end of the lifting device is connected to a lifting frame, and a ridging and furrowing wheel is rotatably connected in the lifting frame.

[0010] As a further feature of the above scheme, the diameter of the central axle of the ridging and furrowing wheel in the second ridging mechanism is smaller than that in the first ridging mechanism.

[0011] As a further feature of the above scheme, the end of the ridging and furrowing wheel is connected to a driving component or is connected to the rear end of the stirring shaft through a transmission mechanism.

[0012] The edible mushroom substrate mixing, spreading, and ridging device disclosed in this utility model involves filling a hopper with a nutrient substrate composed of a mixture of cow dung and straw. As the machine moves linearly, a lifting device first pushes the ridging and ditching discs downwards into the soil. The first ridging and ditching disc then rids and furrows the soil, forming raised ridges approximately 3-5 cm high. Simultaneously, multiple mixing shafts rotate synchronously in a rectangular trough, stirring and conveying the nutrient substrate from the lower end of the hopper through spiral blades. As each spiral blade delivers the nutrient substrate to its corresponding discharge port, it begins to fall. Because the multiple discharge ports form a staircase-like combined discharge outlet, the edible mushroom nutrient substrate falling from multiple points is evenly spread along the width of the ridge, thus uniformly distributing the edible mushroom substrate across the width of the ridge. After the edible mushroom substrate is spread, the second ridging mechanism will continue to pile up the soil on both sides of the ridge, increasing the height of the ridge. The central axle of the ridging and furrowing wheel in the second ridging mechanism will flatten the nutrient substrate on the ridge surface, completing the preparation of the edible mushroom planting bed and nutrient substrate. Beneficial effects

[0013] The edible mushroom substrate mixing, spreading, and ridging device disclosed in this patent enables online mixing and transportation of nutrient substrate, and can simultaneously rid and furrow the planting field, then automatically spread the mixed nutrient substrate on the surface of the ridges, and finally flatten the spread nutrient substrate on the surface of the ridges, completing the entire process of preparing the edible mushroom planting bed and nutrient substrate. The emergence of this device effectively solves the shortcomings of existing edible mushroom cultivation that requires manual ridging, furrowing, and nutrient substrate laying, and is suitable for large-scale mechanized cultivation of edible mushrooms.

[0014] This patent also utilizes the design of multiple stirring shafts, spiral blades, and staircase-shaped combined discharge ports in a rectangular trough to synchronously transport the nutrient substrate along multiple straight lines. This allows the edible fungus nutrient substrate falling from multiple points to be evenly spread along the width of the field ridges, thus effectively improving the preparation of the edible fungus planting bed and nutrient substrate.

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The following will refer to the appendix... Figures 1-3 This application will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments. Example 1

[0021] Example 1 discloses a device for mixing, spreading, and ridging edible fungi substrate. Its main components include a hopper 1 with a design wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A rectangular trough 2 is connected to the lower end of the hopper 1, and the rear end of the rectangular trough 2 extends a certain distance beyond the hopper 1. Multiple mixing shafts 3 are arranged side-by-side in the rectangular trough 2, with the front end of each mixing shaft 3 extending beyond the front side wall of the rectangular trough 2. A corresponding drive wheel 4 is also provided at the front end of each mixing shaft 3. A bearing seat 5 connected to each drive wheel 4 is installed at the rear end of the rectangular trough 2. During operation, the outermost drive wheel 4 can be connected to a power source on the traveling implement via a transmission component (specifically, a transmission belt or transmission chain). Simultaneously, a transmission component is also provided between the drive wheels 4 of adjacent mixing shafts 3, enabling all mixing shafts 3 to rotate synchronously within the rectangular trough 2 under the power input of the traveling implement.

[0022] Multiple discharge ports 201, aligned with each stirring shaft 3, are located at the bottom rear end of the rectangular trough 2 extending from the hopper 1. The distance between these discharge ports 201 and the rear end of the rectangular trough 2 gradually increases or decreases, forming a staircase-like combined discharge port. A baffle 202 is also provided on one side of each discharge port 201. Each stirring shaft 3 is equipped with a spiral blade 6, with the front end of all spiral blades 6 extending from the same position at the front end of the stirring shaft 3 inside the rectangular trough 2, and then extending backward to the corresponding discharge port 201. Through the design of the spiral blades 6 and the staircase-like combined discharge port, the edible mushroom substrate can fall from the corresponding discharge ports 201 along different spiral blade 6 conveying paths. During the straight-line movement of the machinery, the multi-point falling edible mushroom substrate can be evenly spread along the width of the field ridges, thus uniformly distributing the substrate across the width of the field ridges.

[0023] In addition, a first ridging mechanism 7 is provided on the right side of the rear end of the rectangular trough 2, and a second ridging mechanism 8 is provided on the left side of the rear end of the rectangular trough 2. The ridging mechanism 7 specifically includes a lifting device 701 fixed to one side of the rear end of the rectangular trough 2. The lifting device 701 can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. A lifting frame 702 is connected to the lower end of the lifting device 701. A ridging and furrowing wheel 703 is rotatably connected to the lifting frame 702. A drive component is connected to one end of the ridging and furrowing wheel 703, or it is connected to the rear end of the rightmost stirring shaft 3 via a transmission mechanism. In its design, the ridging and furrowing wheel 703 is centered and aligned with the staircase-shaped combined discharge port in the width direction of the ridge. The width of the ridging and furrowing wheel 703 is greater than the discharge width of the combined discharge port, ensuring that the width of the ridge formed by the action of the ridging and furrowing wheel 703 is greater than the width of the nutrient substrate spreading range, thereby guaranteeing that the nutrient substrate can be evenly spread on the surface of the ridge. The design of the second ridging mechanism 8 is basically the same as that of the first ridging mechanism 7. The difference is that the diameter of the central axle of the ridging and furrowing wheel 703 in the second ridging mechanism 8 is smaller than that in the first ridging mechanism 7.

[0024] When using the edible fungus substrate mixing, spreading and ridging device disclosed in this invention, it is installed on a traveling machine (specifically a tractor or a corresponding tracked machine), and then the nutrient substrate after mixing cow dung and straw is loaded into the hopper 1.

[0025] As the machinery moves in a straight line along the planting field, the first ridging mechanism 7 forms ridges approximately 3-5 cm high in the field using the ridging and ditching disc 703. Simultaneously, all stirring shafts rotate at their designed speed, and the spiral blades on the stirring shafts stir the nutrient substrate at the bottom of the hopper 1 while simultaneously conveying it backward. Under the action of each spiral blade, the nutrient substrate in the corresponding area is conveyed backward along the corresponding axis to the discharge port 201, where it falls. Due to the staircase-like combined discharge port design formed by multiple discharge ports 201, the edible fungus nutrient substrate falling from multiple points can be evenly spread along the width of the ridges, thus uniformly distributing the edible fungus nutrient substrate across the width of the ridges. After the nutrient substrate is laid, the second ridging mechanism 8 will continue to pile up the soil on both sides of the ridge, increasing the height of the ridge. The central axle of the ridging and furrowing wheel 703 in the second ridging mechanism 8 will flatten the nutrient substrate on the ridge surface, thus completing the preparation process of the bed nutrient substrate before edible fungi cultivation.

[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
