Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mushroom cultivation technology, and in particular to a mushroom cultivation substrate dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] Mushroom cultivation is a complex agricultural activity with high economic and ecological value. In terms of the cultivation environment, it is necessary to build suitable mushroom houses or greenhouses, strictly control temperature, humidity, light and ventilation conditions, and provide sufficient culture medium.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222722130U, a mushroom cultivation substrate dispensing device employs a dispensing hopper, a baffle plate, a second cylinder, a vertical plate, a sliding rod, a fixing block, a limiting rod, a second rotating rod, a second gear, and a U-shaped rod. After receiving the substrate from the hopper, the dispensing hopper vibrates up and down and moves back and forth left and right under the drive of a motor, ensuring uniform substrate distribution on the hopper. As the device moves, the substrate falls evenly into the planting area, ensuring that the area reached by the device is evenly dispensed with substrate. This effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art, and achieves the technical effect of evenly dispensing substrate with the two vibration modes of the dispensing hopper as the device moves, ensuring uniform placement of substrate after the device moves. Through the arrangement of square rods, inclined rods, sliding rods, a first rotating rod, a first cylinder, a first annular inclined groove, a first transmission wheel, and a belt, the motor drives the first rotating rod to rotate via the belt, causing the square rod to move back and forth, preventing the substrate at the bottom of the hopper from clogging the outlet.

[0004] Although the application document can make the substrate fall evenly into the planting area, in actual use, the entire dispensing device has a relatively complex structure, which makes the manufacturing and processing cost of the entire dispensing device high, and the maintenance and troubleshooting are complicated and the reliability is low. In addition, more transmission links will increase friction loss and reduce the efficiency of the dispensing device. Therefore, a mushroom cultivation substrate dispensing device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes a mushroom cultivation substrate feeding device, including a material box 1, a feeding funnel 2 connected to the bottom of the material box 1, a feeding pipe 3 connected to the bottom of the feeding funnel 2, a feeding mechanism 4 provided at the bottom of the feeding pipe 3, a material blocking mechanism 5 provided on the outside of the feeding pipe 3, and an anti-blocking mechanism 6 provided inside the feeding funnel 2.

[0027] In this invention, the culture medium can be placed in the hopper 1, and discharged through the feeding funnel 2 and the feeding pipe 3. When discharging the culture medium, the feeding mechanism 4 ensures that the culture medium falls evenly into the planting area. The material blocking mechanism 5 can block the bottom of the feeding pipe 3 to prevent the culture medium from falling from the feeding pipe 3 when the feeding device is not feeding. The anti-blocking mechanism 6 can agitate the culture medium above the feeding pipe 3 to prevent the culture medium from being squeezed and blocked when falling, thereby ensuring that the culture medium can fall smoothly into the feeding mechanism 4.

[0028] like Figure 1-4As shown, in an optional embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 4 includes mounting blocks 401 disposed on the front and back of the feeding tube 3. Two connecting blocks 402 are disposed below the two mounting blocks 401. Springs 403 are disposed at the bottom of each of the two mounting blocks 401. The bottoms of the two springs 403 are respectively connected to the two connecting blocks 402. A feeding frame 404 is disposed between the opposite sides of the two connecting blocks 402. The left side of the feeding frame 404 is inclined downward, and the right side of the feeding frame 404 corresponds to the bottom of the feeding tube 3. Multiple partitions 405 are disposed on the inner bottom wall of the feeding frame 404. A vibration motor 406 is disposed at the bottom of the feeding frame 404.

[0029] When feeding is required, the material blocking mechanism 5 first removes the obstruction to the bottom of the feeding pipe 3, allowing the culture medium to fall directly into the feeding frame 404. Then, the multiple partitions 405 inside the feeding frame 404 divert the flow, allowing the culture medium to fall into the planting area through the feeding frame 404. During feeding, the vibration motor 406 is activated. Under the action of the mounting block 401, spring 403, and connecting block 402, the feeding frame 404 vibrates, allowing the culture medium inside the feeding frame 404 to fall evenly into the planting area, preventing the culture medium from accumulating inside the feeding frame 404.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the material blocking mechanism 5 includes a horizontal plate 501 located on the right side of the feed tube 3. The bottom of the horizontal plate 501 is provided with two supporting L-shaped plates 502. A baffle 503 is slidably connected between the inner sides of the two supporting L-shaped plates 502. The top of the baffle 503 is slidably connected to the bottom of the feed tube 3. A fixing block 504 is provided at the bottom of the baffle 503. A fixing L-shaped plate 505 is provided on the right side of the horizontal plate 501. A cylinder 506 is provided on the right side wall of the inner cavity of the fixing L-shaped plate 505. The piston rod of the cylinder 506 is connected to the right side of the fixing block 504.

[0031] When feeding is required, cylinder 506 is activated. The piston rod of cylinder 506 will drive the fixed block 504 to move to the right. The fixed block 504 will drive the baffle 503 to move to the right, so that the baffle 503 loses its obstruction of the bottom of the feed pipe 3, allowing the culture material to fall through the feed funnel 2 and the feed pipe 3.

[0032] When the baffle 503 moves to the right, the two supporting L-shaped plates 502 can support and guide the baffle 503, ensuring the stability of the movement of the baffle 503.

[0033] like Figure 6As shown, in an optional embodiment, the anti-blocking mechanism 6 includes a geared motor 601 located on the front of the feeding hopper 2. The output shaft of the geared motor 601 is connected to a rotating rod 602 extending into the inside of the feeding hopper 2 via a coupling. The rear end of the rotating rod 602 is rotatably connected to the rear side wall of the inner cavity of the feeding hopper 2. A plurality of evenly distributed stirring rods 603 are provided on the outer side of the rotating rod 602, and the plurality of stirring rods 603 are spirally distributed.

[0034] When feeding materials, the geared motor 601 is started. The output shaft of the geared motor 601 drives the rotating rod 602 to rotate. The rotating rod 602 drives multiple stirring rods 603 to rotate. The multiple stirring rods 603 are located above the feeding pipe 3. The rotation of the multiple stirring rods 603 can stir the culture material above the feeding pipe 3, avoiding the compression and blockage of the culture material above the feeding pipe 3 during the dragging process, so that the culture material can fall smoothly from the inside of the feeding pipe 3.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the top of the material bin 1 is hinged to a bin cover 9, the front of the bin cover 9 is connected to the front of the material bin 1 by a snap fastener, and the top of the bin cover 9 is connected to a feeding pipe 10.

[0036] It should be noted that the culture medium can be added into the material box 1 through the feeding pipe 10 or by opening the box cover 9. After the feeding is completed, the inside of the material box 1 can be cleaned by opening the box cover 9.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the front and back of the material box 1 are provided with mounting L-shaped plates 7, and two rollers 8 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the two mounting L-shaped plates 7. The right side of the material box 1 is provided with a push handle 11, and the right side of the material box 1 is provided with a controller.

[0038] It should be noted that the two L-shaped mounting plates 7, four rollers 8 and push handle 11 enable the staff to push the material box 1, thereby moving the dispensing device. By moving the dispensing device and coordinating with the evenly falling culture material from the feeding frame 404, the culture material can evenly and completely cover the planting area.

[0039] Cylinder 506, vibration motor 406 and geared motor 601 are all electrically connected to the controller, which can control cylinder 506, vibration motor 406 and geared motor 601.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] In use, the mushroom cultivation substrate feeding device involves the operator pushing the substrate bin 1 using two L-shaped mounting plates 7, four rollers 8, and a push handle 11. Simultaneously, the cylinder 506, vibrating motor 406, and reduction motor 601 are activated. The piston rod of cylinder 506 moves the fixed block 504 to the right, which in turn moves the baffle 503 to the right. This removes the baffle 503's obstruction of the bottom of the feeding pipe 3, allowing the substrate to fall through the feeding funnel 2 and feeding pipe 3 into the feeding frame 404. Meanwhile, the vibrating motor 406 operates in conjunction with the mounting block 401, spring 403, and connecting block 402. When in use, the feeding frame 404 vibrates. With the diversion effect of multiple baffles 405, the culture medium inside the feeding frame 404 can fall evenly into the planting area, preventing the culture medium from accumulating inside the feeding frame 404. At the same time, the output shaft of the geared motor 601 drives the rotating rod 602 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple stirring rods 603 to rotate. The multiple stirring rods 603 are located above the feeding pipe 3. The rotation of the multiple stirring rods 603 can agitate the culture medium above the feeding pipe 3, preventing the culture medium above the feeding pipe 3 from being squeezed and blocked during the dragging process, thus allowing the culture medium to fall smoothly from inside the feeding pipe 3.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
