[0002] The edible mushroom industry is an important part of agriculture. Its production process involves frequent material handling and palletizing. For example, in the cultivation process, from the preparation of culture medium and filling it into baskets to inoculation, cultivation and harvesting, the culture medium baskets need to be moved and stacked in an orderly manner. However, many companies still rely on traditional manual operations to complete the handling and palletizing. The manual efficiency is extremely low, the amount of material handled each time is limited, and it is necessary to frequently go back and forth between different workstations, which consumes a lot of time and energy. It is difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale production for efficient operation. Long hours of high-intensity labor makes workers tired, prone to operational errors, increases the probability of safety accidents, and also damages their health.
[0003] In addition, the production environment of edible fungi is special, often in a state of high humidity and dust. High humidity makes the surface of the culture medium baskets slippery, greatly increasing the difficulty and danger of handling. Dust can damage the respiratory system and eyes of workers, and manual stacking makes it difficult to ensure that the position, angle and spacing of each basket of culture medium are consistent, making it impossible to achieve standardized operation. Stacking is often not neat and unstable, which has an adverse effect on subsequent storage and transportation. Utility Model Content

[0019] Figure 2 This is a top view of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[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 1-2 A side-pushing mechanical device for culture medium baskets is used to automate the handling and stacking of culture medium baskets, greatly improving production efficiency and quality. Specifically:
[0022] The device includes a side-pushing mechanism, a culture medium basket conveyor 5, and a palletizing conveyor 6. The side-pushing mechanism is located on one side of the palletizing conveyor 6, and the culture medium basket conveyor 5 is located between the side-pushing mechanism and the palletizing conveyor 6. A transfer rack for storing culture medium baskets is placed on the palletizing conveyor 6. The culture medium basket conveyor 5 is used to transport the culture medium baskets to the side-pushing mechanism. Preferably, the culture medium basket conveyor 5 is a roller conveyor, which consists of multiple rollers connected by chains or belts to achieve stable transport of the culture medium baskets. The palletizing conveyor 6 receives the culture medium baskets conveyed by the culture medium basket conveyor 5 and smoothly delivers them to the next process. Preferably, the palletizing conveyor 6 is a chain conveyor, which has the characteristics of strong load-bearing capacity and stable operation, and can withstand the weight of the transfer frame and the culture medium baskets. The transfer frame facilitates better transfer of culture medium baskets. Preferably, the transfer frame is a rectangular frame structure with several compartments for storing culture medium baskets. To ensure the stability of the transfer frame, it can be bolted to the bearing surface of the palletizing conveyor 6. The side-pushing mechanism is used to push the culture medium baskets conveyed by the culture medium basket conveyor 5 onto the transfer frame on the palletizing conveyor 6. Preferably:
[0023] The side-pushing mechanism includes a frame 1, which serves as the support frame for the entire side-pushing mechanism and provides a stable mounting base for other components.
[0024] A lifting and lowering component 4 is installed on the frame 1 to adjust the height of the side push mechanism to accommodate culture medium baskets and transfer racks of different heights. Preferably, the lifting and lowering component 4 includes a lifting frame, with drive wheels installed at the top and bottom of the frame 1, and a drive chain mounted on the drive wheels. The lifting frame is fixedly connected to the drive chain. A reduction motor is also installed on the frame 1 to drive the drive wheels to move the drive chain and the lifting frame up and down. When the reduction motor starts, it drives the drive chain through the drive wheels, thereby moving the lifting frame up and down.
[0025] To ensure the stability and accuracy of the lifting frame during movement, guide sliders are installed on the lifting frame, and linear guide rails are set on the frame 1. The guide sliders are slidably installed on the linear guide rails to guide and limit the movement of the lifting frame, preventing the lifting frame from deviating or shaking.
[0026] A horizontal moving platform 3 is provided on the lifting component 4 near the culture medium basket conveyor 5 to receive the culture medium baskets conveyed by the culture medium basket conveyor 5. A drive roller for cooperating with the culture medium basket and a geared motor for driving the drive roller to rotate are installed on the horizontal moving platform 3. When the culture medium basket is conveyed to the vicinity of the horizontal moving platform 3, the drive roller starts to rotate under the drive of the geared motor, and the culture medium basket is smoothly pulled onto the horizontal moving platform 3 by friction. The surface of the drive roller is usually made of rubber or plastic material, which has a certain elasticity and friction, and can ensure that the culture medium basket does not slip during the pulling process.
[0027] On the side away from the culture medium basket conveyor 5, a lifting component 4 is installed for working with the horizontal moving platform 3 to push the culture medium basket laterally onto the transfer rack. Preferably, the pushing component 2 includes a push plate and a pushing cylinder for driving the push plate to push the culture medium basket laterally. The pushing cylinder is installed on the lifting component 4, and the push plate is installed on the piston rod end of the pushing cylinder. When it is necessary to push the culture medium basket laterally, the pushing cylinder is activated, the piston rod extends, and pushes the push plate forward, accurately pushing the culture medium basket on the horizontal moving platform 3 laterally onto the transfer rack. The push plate is reasonably designed, and its shape and size match the culture medium basket, which can ensure that the culture medium basket will not be damaged during the lateral pushing process.
[0028] The culture medium basket side-pushing mechanical device provided in this application is mainly used to automatically push the culture medium baskets into the designated position after they have been transported from the previous process to the designated position and accumulated to a certain quantity, so that the culture medium baskets can enter the next process. The specific working process is as follows:
[0029] 1. The culture medium basket is first transported to the horizontal moving platform 3 by the culture medium basket conveyor 5. The transmission rollers on the horizontal moving platform 3 are driven by the geared motor to accurately position the culture medium basket on the horizontal moving platform 3. At this time, the lifting component 4 drives the transmission wheel and transmission chain through the geared motor according to the position of the transfer frame on the palletizing conveyor 6, so that the lifting frame moves up and down, so that the horizontal moving platform 3 and the basket pushing component 2 reach the appropriate height.
[0030] 2. The pusher cylinder pushes the pusher plate to push the culture medium basket on the horizontal moving platform 3 to the designated layer of the transfer rack on the palletizing conveyor 6. After the side push is completed, the pusher cylinder retracts the pusher plate, and the vertical lifting component 4 adjusts its height again to prepare to receive the next culture medium basket.
[0031] 3. Repeat the above operation until the culture medium baskets on the transfer rack reach a certain number. Then, the palletizing conveyor 6 will transport the culture medium baskets to the next process through the transfer rack.
[0032] The side-pushing mechanical device for culture medium baskets provided in this application is mainly used in the production and breeding of edible fungi to transport stacked material baskets to designated locations. It is an automated mechanical device with the advantages of novel structure, simple operation, automatic reset, and safety and reliability. It can transport multiple material baskets at the same time, realizing the process of automated machinery replacing manual basket handling, greatly improving production efficiency and meeting the needs of modern and intensive production in the edible fungi industry.
[0033] Compared with existing technologies, this application features an advanced design, novel structure, and fully automated control, offering advantages such as simple operation, automatic reset, and safety and reliability.
[0034] 1. Multiple culture medium baskets can be moved simultaneously;
[0035] 2. It has a strong conveying capacity and operates smoothly during the conveying process;
