Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent packaging equipment for tremella, specifically to a direct pushing and feeding mechanism for mushroom bags. Background Technology

[0002] Silver ear fungus grows very little in the natural world and is expensive, making it difficult for ordinary people to afford. Therefore, people have begun to study artificial cultivation and processing methods for silver ear fungus to increase yield and quality and supply the market.

[0003] During the processing of Tremella fuciformis culture bags, holes need to be punched in the sides of the bags for inoculation. To prevent contamination, adhesive tape is then used to seal the holes. Afterward, the culture bags are stacked on a rack for sterilization. Sterilization typically uses high-temperature, high-pressure steam sterilization (such as in an autoclave or sterilizer) to kill any microorganisms present.

[0004] After the tremella fuciformis bags are perforated and covered with adhesive tape, they need to be transferred to the culture rack through a series of equipment. For example, the "tremella fuciformis bag stacking machine" disclosed in patent number CN119218528A can extrude and shape the perforated and covered tremella fuciformis bags and transport them to the culture rack, which can realize fully automated assembly line operation.

[0005] In this technical solution, several tremella fuciformis bags that have been punched and glued are pushed out horizontally along their length. Since the bags are long and narrow, pushing them out horizontally along their length will take a long time and result in low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example:

[0028] A direct-push material feeding mechanism for mushroom bags, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a conveyor 1, a punching assembly, an adhesive applicator assembly, and a pushing assembly 5.

[0029] The perforation assembly and the adhesive application assembly are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveyor 1. The perforation assembly and the adhesive application assembly are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The perforation assembly is used to drill several holes on the upper surface of the mushroom bag 100, and the adhesive application assembly is used to apply adhesive tape to the holes drilled on the upper surface of the mushroom bag 100.

[0030] See Figure 2 The conveyor 1 includes multiple sets of horizontally parallel and synchronously rotating conveyor belts 12. In this embodiment, there are two sets of conveyor belts 12. Support plates are provided between adjacent conveyor belts 12 and on the sides of the conveyor belts 12. The multiple sets of conveyors 1 and the support plates work together to prevent the mushroom bags 100 from being suspended in the air. Baffles 11 are evenly provided on the conveyor belts 12 along their conveying trajectory. The distance between two adjacent baffles 11 is adapted to the width of the mushroom bags 100. The baffles 11 can shape the posture of the mushroom bags 100 placed on the conveyor belts 12. The conveyor belts 12 and the baffles 11 work together to horizontally convey the mushroom bags 100 placed on their upper surfaces forward.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the pusher assembly 5 is located at the rear of the conveyor 1 and is connected to it. Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the pushing assembly 5 includes a base plate 51, a second lifting device 52, a limiting baffle 53, a supporting top frame 54, a limiting strip 55, a telescopic device 551, a transverse movement device 56, a first lifting device 58, and a pushing plate 59.

[0032] The base plate 51 is horizontally and fixed relative to the ground on the output side of the conveyor belt 12. The support frame 54 is fixed on the base plate 51. In this embodiment, two sets of support frames 54 are provided. The support frames 54 are inverted U-shaped structures and are fixed to the base plate 51 in parallel at intervals. The base plate 51 and the support frames 54 form a temporary storage compartment with a hollow interior and openings on both the left and right sides. Figure 4 As shown, the right opening of the temporary storage bin is the feed opening, located on the output side of the conveyor belt 12, and the left opening is the discharge opening. The inner bottom wall (top wall of the bottom plate 51) of the temporary storage bin is on the same plane as the upper surface of the conveyor belt 12. Simultaneously, one end of the bottom plate 51 extends horizontally to form a connecting plate 511 (as shown). Figure 4 (As shown by the blue lines in the image), the connecting plate 511 is positioned between adjacent conveyor belts 12 and on the side of the conveyor belts 12, and the connecting plate 511 is offset from the conveyor belts 12.

[0033] The upper surface of the base plate 51 is provided with two sets of parallel limiting side plates 512, and the distance between the two sets of limiting side plates 512 is adapted to the length of the mushroom bag 100.

[0034] The second lifting device 52 is vertically set and fixed relative to the base plate 51 or the supporting top frame 54. The limiting baffle 53 is fixed at the output end of the second lifting device 52. The limiting baffle 53 is located at the discharge opening of the temporary storage bin. The second lifting device 52 drives the limiting baffle 53 to move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby opening or closing the discharge opening of the temporary storage bin.

[0035] The transverse movement device 56 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 54. The transverse movement device 56 is used to drive the first lifting device 58 at its output end to move horizontally. The first lifting device 58 is set vertically. The downward-facing output end of the first lifting device 58 is equipped with a pusher plate 59. The transverse movement device 56 drives the pusher plate 59 to move between the feed opening and the discharge opening of the temporary storage bin.

[0036] The pusher plate 59 has an inverted L-shaped structure with a top plate and a side plate. The pusher plate 59 is located directly above the bottom plate 51, and the side plate is located on the side away from the conveyor 1 relative to the top plate. The first lifting device 58 drives the pusher plate 59 to move vertically up and down to get closer to or away from the bottom wall of the temporary storage bin.

[0037] When the conveyor belt 12 and the partition 11 work together to move the mushroom bag 100 onto the connecting plate 511 and it is located at the feed opening of the temporary storage bin, at this time, the side plate of the pusher plate 59 is located on the front side of the mushroom bag 100 (the side away from the conveyor 1), and the top plate of the pusher plate 59 is pressed against the upper surface of the mushroom bag 100, thereby achieving shaping.

[0038] The supporting top frame 54 in the temporary storage bin is connected to the telescopic device 55 (e.g. Figure 4 , Figure 5(As shown by the red line in the image) Two parallel limiting strips 55 are connected. The limiting strips 55 are located on both sides directly above the bottom plate 51, and the movement of the pusher plate 59 will not interfere with the limiting strips 55. The telescopic device 55 adopts a telescopic rod structure to adjust the distance between the limiting strips 55 and the bottom plate 51. The space between the limiting strips 55 and the bottom plate 51 is used to accommodate a row of horizontally arranged mushroom bags 100.

[0039] The second lifting device 52 and the first lifting device 58 can adopt structures such as telescopic cylinders, electric push rods, or telescopic hydraulic cylinders; the lateral movement device 56 can adopt structures such as telescopic cylinders, electric push rods, telescopic hydraulic cylinders, or linear movement modules.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] The mushroom bag 100 is placed on the conveyor belt 12. The conveyor belt 12 and the partition 11 work together to drive the mushroom bag 100 through the punching component and the adhesive component in sequence. The punching component drills several holes on the upper surface of the mushroom bag 100, and the adhesive component seals the holes on the upper surface of the mushroom bag 100 with adhesive tape.

[0042] Afterwards, the conveyor 1 drives the mushroom bag 100 on its upper surface to continue moving forward horizontally to its leftmost end (output side). Since the connecting plate 511 at one end of the bottom plate 51 in the temporary storage bin extends into the conveyor 1 (output side), the mushroom bag 100 can be moved horizontally to the feed opening of the temporary storage bin without any obstacles with the cooperation of the connecting plate 511.

[0043] Then, the first lifting device 58 and the transverse moving device 56 work together to move the side plate of the pusher plate 59 slightly to the back of the mushroom bag 100 (relatively close to the conveyor 1). Then, the transverse moving device 56 drives the pusher plate 59 to move a distance equal to the width of the mushroom bag 100 in the direction of the discharge opening of the temporary storage chamber, so that the mushroom bag 100 is pushed into the temporary storage chamber from the feed opening of the temporary storage chamber (placed horizontally on the upper surface of the bottom plate 51) by the pusher plate 59.

[0044] The limiting strip 55 prevents the height of the mushroom bags 100 on the bottom plate 51 from changing, ensuring that multiple groups of mushroom bags 100 closely abutting each other on the bottom plate 51 are arranged horizontally. The limiting strip 55 also has a chamfered edge on the side closest to the feed opening of the temporary storage bin.

[0045] Then, the first lifting device 58 and the lateral movement device 56 work together to drive the pusher plate 59 to move in the opposite direction and reset. Repeat the above steps to push the groups of mushroom bags 100 horizontally into the storage chamber through the feed opening. The multiple groups of mushroom bags 100 are arranged horizontally on the upper surface of the bottom plate 51 of the storage chamber and abut against each other. This can push the multiple groups of mushroom bags 100 close to the discharge opening of the storage chamber on the bottom plate 51. Under normal conditions, the limiting baffle 53 closes the discharge opening of the storage chamber. With the cooperation of the limiting baffle 53 and the first lifting device 58, the row of horizontally arranged mushroom bags 100 on the bottom plate 51 can be pre-clamped.

[0046] After the number of mushroom bags 100 in the temporary storage chamber reaches the preset number, the second lifting device 52 drives the limit baffle 53 to rise to a certain height to open the discharge opening of the temporary storage chamber. Then, the horizontal moving device 56 drives the pusher plate 59 to make a large displacement from the feed opening to the discharge opening, thereby realizing the horizontal push of a row of pre-clamped mushroom bags 100 from the discharge opening of the temporary storage chamber.

[0047] A row of pre-clamped mushroom bags 100 are horizontally pushed out of the discharge opening of the temporary storage chamber to the subsequent clamping and pushing assembly 6. The first lifting device 58 and the transverse moving device 56 work together to drive the pushing plate 59 to move in the opposite direction and reset, and control the limit baffle 53 to close the discharge opening of the temporary storage chamber.

[0048] The above embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
