Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of automatic mushroom stick conveying technology, specifically relating to a mushroom stick conveying and lifting mechanism for circular mushroom racks. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of mushroom spawn, the spawn needs to be placed on a rack and then sent to a sterilization device for sterilization. To improve placement efficiency and meet the needs of automated production, conveyor belts are often used to transport the spawn.

[0003] Existing conveyor belts only have a conveying function and lack lifting capabilities. However, mushroom spawn is placed layer by layer on the spawn racks, with the height of the spawn increasing progressively. Furthermore, the spawn racks are mostly circular, resulting in varying numbers of spawn per layer. Therefore, existing conveyor belts cannot meet the requirements for spawn placement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this application aims to solve is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a mushroom stick conveying and lifting mechanism for circular mushroom racks. This application simultaneously meets the requirements of conveying and lifting, facilitating the layer-by-layer placement of mushroom sticks. Furthermore, the number and position of mushroom sticks lifted can be controlled by adjusting the upward movement of different U-shaped frames, thus matching the circular mushroom stick rack and improving the efficiency of mushroom stick placement.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its existing problems is:

[0006] A mushroom stick conveying and lifting mechanism for a circular mushroom rack includes a conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism is hollow in the middle, and several U-shaped frames are arranged in the hollow area. The upper end of the U-shaped frames is open, and the width of the upper opening of the U-shaped frames is smaller than the diameter of the mushroom stick. A lifting mechanism is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped frames, and the lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to the support of the conveying mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the distance between two adjacent U-shaped frames is less than the radius of the mushroom stick.

[0008] Preferably, the two ends of the U-shaped frame opening are provided with upward-facing support ramps.

[0009] Preferably, the distance between the top surfaces of the supporting inclined plates of two adjacent U-shaped frames is 0-3cm.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the 2-4 U-shaped frames in the middle is connected to a series plate, and a lifting mechanism is connected below the series plate.

[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the series plate are provided with vertically arranged guide rods, which are slidably connected to the bracket.

[0012] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a support frame with two conveyor belts arranged parallel to each other at intervals on the support frame. The U-shaped frame is disposed between the two conveyor belts. The conveyor belts are connected to pulleys inside, and the pulleys at the ends are connected to a drive mechanism, which is fixed to the support frame.

[0013] Preferably, the drive mechanism is a motor with a reduction gear.

[0014] Preferably, the lifting mechanism is an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0016] (1) The middle area of ​​the transmission mechanism is equipped with several U-shaped frames with open tops. The U-shaped frames can drive the mushroom sticks to rise, thereby realizing the function of raising the mushroom sticks, which is convenient to adapt to the filling at different height positions on the mushroom stick frame and improves the filling efficiency.

[0023] The attached figure shows a preferred embodiment of the mushroom stick conveying and lifting mechanism for a circular mushroom rack. The following is a more detailed description of this application in conjunction with the attached figure.

[0024] A mushroom log conveying and lifting mechanism for circular mushroom racks, comprising... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is hollow in the middle, with several U-shaped frames 5 arranged in the hollow area.

[0025] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism includes a support 1, on which two conveyor belts 3 are arranged parallel and spaced apart. A U-shaped frame 5 is disposed between the two conveyor belts 3. Pulleys 2 are connected inside each conveyor belt 3, and the end pulleys 2 are connected to a drive mechanism 4. The drive mechanism 4 is fixed to the support 1. The drive mechanism 4 is a motor with a reduction gear.

[0026] Several U-shaped frames 5 are arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the transmission belt 3, with the U-shaped frames 5 open in the direction of the transmission belt 3.

[0027] The upper end of the U-shaped frame 5 is open, and the width of the upper end of the open part of the U-shaped frame 5 is smaller than the diameter of the mushroom stick 9. The bottom of the U-shaped frame 5 is connected to a lifting mechanism 6, which is fixedly connected to the support 1 of the conveying mechanism.

[0028] To prevent the mushroom stick 9 from falling between two adjacent U-shaped frames 5, the distance between two adjacent U-shaped frames 5 is less than the radius of the mushroom stick 9.

[0029] To better lift the mushroom logs 9 during the lifting process of the U-shaped frame 5, two upward-facing supporting inclined plates 501 are provided at both ends of the open end of the U-shaped frame 5. The two supporting inclined plates 501 are inclined outwards, and the opening is arranged in a V-shape. The distance between the top surfaces of the supporting inclined plates 501 of two adjacent U-shaped frames 5 is 0-3cm.

[0030] The upward-moving U-shaped frame 5 can precisely lift the mushroom stick 9, and under the guidance of the two supporting inclined plates 501, the mushroom stick 9 moves to the middle position of the U-shaped frame 5.

[0031] With the support of the inclined plate 501, two adjacent mushroom sticks 9 abut together, making it easier to place them neatly on the mushroom stick rack. The mushroom sticks 9 are spaced apart from the bottom of the U-shaped frame 5, making it easy to insert the carrier of the mushroom sticks 9, which is beneficial for automated loading operations.

[0032] Since even the smallest layer of the mushroom stick rack holds 2-4 mushroom sticks, in order to reduce the number of lifting mechanisms 6 and thus reduce costs, in this embodiment, the bottom of the 2-4 U-shaped racks 5 in the middle is connected to a series plate 7, and a lifting mechanism 6 is connected below the series plate 7.

[0033] The two ends of the series plate 7 are provided with vertically arranged guide rods 8, and the guide rods 8 are slidably connected to the bracket 1.

[0034] The lifting mechanism 6 is a vertically arranged electric cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, and the telescopic rod 601 of the lifting mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 5 or the series plate 7.

[0035] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
