Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilization rack technology, specifically a sterilization rack used in edible fungi production. Background Technology

[0002] In existing large-scale edible mushroom production, sterilization is a key process to prevent contamination by other microorganisms. Mushroom bags and bottles need to be placed on sterilization racks for centralized sterilization. Sterilization racks are special supports used to hold materials to be sterilized during edible mushroom production. Their core function is to neatly place mushroom bags or bottles, avoiding squeezing and stacking of materials during sterilization. When used in conjunction with an environment or equipment that can provide sterilization conditions, they serve as a support tool to improve the standardization of material placement and the efficiency of sterilization operations, helping to ensure the basic effectiveness of preventing contamination by other microorganisms in subsequent edible mushroom production.

[0003] Existing sterilization racks typically have fixed shelf heights. When faced with mushroom bags of different diameters or mushroom bottles of different heights, they cannot be adjusted according to the actual dimensions of these materials. This often leads to a dilemma during use: either the shelf spacing is mismatched with the material size, resulting in insufficient use of the rack's internal space and significant waste, or the shelf spacing is too small, forcing the mushroom bags to be placed in the rack, ultimately causing them to deform under pressure and affecting subsequent normal use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization rack for edible fungi production, in order to solve the problem that the height of the shelves in existing sterilization racks is usually fixed, and cannot be adjusted according to the actual size of fungi bags of different diameters or fungi bottles of different heights.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A sterilization rack for edible fungi production includes a left rack and a right rack. A material shelf that can slide up and down is connected between the left rack and the right rack. Sliding plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the material shelf. Sliding tracks for the sliding plates to move up and down are provided on the opposite surfaces of the left rack and the right rack. A transmission component for controlling the up and down sliding of the material shelf is installed on the surface of the left rack, and a bolt support component for supporting the material shelf is installed on the surface of the right rack.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a transmission gear and a transmission rack. The transmission gear is rotatably connected to the surface of the left side frame. The transmission rack is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding plate on the left side of the material shelf. The transmission rack slides up and down synchronously along the sliding track following the sliding plate. The transmission rack and the transmission gear are meshed together.

[0008] Preferably, a throttle is mounted on the surface of the left side frame, and the throttle is linked with the transmission gear to drive the transmission gear to rotate.

[0009] Preferably, the bolt support assembly includes a threaded rod, a positioning gear, and a positioning rack. The positioning gear is rotatably connected to the surface of the right side frame. The positioning rack is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding plate on the right side of the material shelf. The positioning rack slides up and down synchronously along the sliding track with the sliding plate. The positioning gear and the positioning rack are meshed. The threaded rod is movably mounted on the surface of the right side frame and is used to support the positioning gear and restrict its rotation.

[0010] Preferably, the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the right side frame, and a knob is coaxially fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod, with the rotating arc surface extending to the outside of the right side frame.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning rack is located behind the positioning gear, the threaded rod is located below the positioning gear and close to the positioning rack, and the top surface of the threaded rod is a plane.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This sterilization rack features sliding material shelves between the left and right shelves, allowing operators to flexibly adjust the vertical position of each shelf and thus change the spacing between adjacent shelves.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution.

[0023] The sterilization rack for edible fungi production includes a left rack 1 and a right rack 8. A material shelf 7 that can slide up and down is connected between the left rack 1 and the right rack 8. There are at least two material shelves 7. By adjusting the up and down position of each material shelf 7, the distance between two adjacent material shelves 7 can be flexibly changed, thereby adapting to mushroom bags of different diameters or mushroom bottles of different heights to meet the actual size requirements of the corresponding materials. To realize the sliding function of the material shelf 7, sliding plates 6 are fixedly connected to both ends of the material shelf 7. At the same time, the surfaces of the left rack 1 and the right rack 8 are respectively provided with sliding tracks 2 for the sliding plates 6 to move up and down. In addition, the surface of the left rack 1 is equipped with a transmission component for controlling the up and down sliding of the material shelf 7, and the surface of the right rack 8 is equipped with a bolt support component for supporting the material shelf 7. The number of transmission components and bolt support components corresponds one-to-one with the number of material shelves 7, ensuring that each material shelf 7 can be controlled to slide up and down independently.

[0024] The transmission assembly includes a transmission gear 4 and a transmission rack 5. The transmission gear 4 is rotatably connected to the surface of the left side frame 1. The transmission rack 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding plate 6 on the left side of the material shelf 7. The transmission rack 5 slides up and down synchronously along the sliding track 2 with the sliding plate 6. The transmission rack 5 and the transmission gear 4 are meshed. When the transmission gear 4 is rotated, the sliding plate 6 can be driven to slide up and down by means of the gear tooth transmission, thereby driving the material shelf 7 to move synchronously. At the same time, the sliding track 2 is reserved with space for the transmission rack 5 to slide, ensuring smooth movement. In addition, a throttle 3 is installed on the surface of the left side frame 1. The throttle 3 is linked with the transmission gear 4 to drive the transmission gear 4 to rotate. By rotating the throttle 3, the transmission gear 4 can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing the position control of the material shelf 7.

[0025] The bolt support assembly includes a threaded rod 9, a positioning gear 10, and a positioning rack 11. The positioning gear 10 is rotatably connected to the surface of the right side frame 8. The positioning rack 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding plate 6 on the right side of the material shelf 7. The positioning rack 11 slides up and down along the sliding track 2 synchronously with the sliding plate 6. The positioning gear 10 and the positioning rack 11 are meshed. The threaded rod 9 is movably mounted on the surface of the right side frame 8. The threaded rod 9 is used to support the positioning gear 10 and restrict its rotation. When the material shelf 7 is adjusted in position by the left side transmission assembly, the positioning rack 11 will synchronously drive the positioning gear 10 to rotate. After the material shelf 7 moves to the designated position, the threaded rod 9 on the surface of the right side frame 8 supports the positioning gear 10 to restrict its rotation, thereby fixing the shelf position.

[0026] The threaded rod 9 is connected to the right side frame 8 by a thread. A knob is coaxially fixed to the bottom end of the threaded rod 9. The rotating arc surface extends to the outside of the right side frame 8. The right side frame 8 is reserved with a slide for the knob and the threaded rod 9 to move up and down. During operation, rotating the knob can drive the threaded rod 9 to move upward along the thread until it reaches the top support positioning gear 10.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 4 The positioning rack 11 is located behind the positioning gear 10, and the threaded rod 9 is located below the positioning gear 10 and close to the positioning rack 11. The top surface of the threaded rod 9 is flat, and a friction pad to increase friction can be added to the flat surface. From the perspective of the motion characteristics of the material shelf 7, once the position of the material shelf 7 is determined, it will not move upward automatically due to its own gravity. Therefore, it is only necessary to restrict its downward movement. When the material shelf 7 moves downward, it will drive the positioning rack 11 to move downward synchronously, thereby causing the positioning gear 10 to rotate clockwise from right to left. Therefore, the key to the entire structure is to restrict the clockwise rotation of the positioning gear 10. Based on this, the above-mentioned position of the threaded rod 9 and the design of its top flat surface can just meet the requirements, so that there is no need to deliberately align the gear teeth. The angle is such that the top surface of the threaded rod 9 is supported between the two teeth of the positioning gear 10 to limit its rotation. The positioning gear 10 can be rotated to any angle, and its clockwise rotation can be limited by supporting the positioning gear 10. This ultimately achieves the anti-downward positioning of the material shelf 7. This is because the position design of the threaded rod 9 (below the positioning gear 10 and close to the positioning rack 11) and the characteristics of the top surface plane form a direct contact and stop logic between the side of the tooth and the plane. When the positioning gear 10 attempts to rotate clockwise, the positioning gear 10 will naturally move diagonally downward and will inevitably contact the plane of the threaded rod 9. No matter which tooth rotates to the contact position at this time, the plane can provide a vertical upward support force, directly preventing the tooth from continuing to move downward (i.e., the gear continues to move clockwise).

[0028] The specific steps of this solution are as follows: First, the left shelf 1 and the right shelf 8 remain stationary during use. When the sterilization rack is assembled, the positions of the left shelf 1 and the right shelf 8 are fixed (for example, by fixing with anchor bolts). The height of a single shelf is adjusted (taking a single material shelf 7 as an example, and multiple shelves are adjusted sequentially). Step 1: Loosen the right bolt support assembly, rotate the knob clockwise to move the threaded rod 9 downwards along the thread until the top surface of the threaded rod 9 is completely disengaged from the positioning gear 10, thus releasing the support restriction on the positioning gear 10 (at this time, the positioning gear 10 can rotate freely, and the material shelf 7 has the conditions to move).

[0029] Step 2: Adjust the height of the material shelf 7. Hold the handle 3 corresponding to the material shelf 7 to be adjusted, and control the height of the shelf by rotating the handle 3: To raise the material shelf 7: rotate the handle 3 clockwise, which drives the transmission gear 4 to rotate. The transmission gear 4 meshes with the transmission rack 5, driving the sliding plate 6 to slide upward along the sliding track 2, thereby driving the material shelf 7 to rise synchronously; To lower the material shelf 7: rotate the handle 3 counterclockwise. Similarly, through the gear and rack transmission, the material shelf 7 is driven to slide downward along the sliding track 2.

[0030] Step 3: With the material shelf 7 in position fixed, rotate the knob of the threaded rod 9 counterclockwise to drive the threaded rod 9 to move upward along the thread. Continue rotating the knob until the top surface of the threaded rod 9 supports the positioning gear 10.

[0031] Confirm the fixing effect: Gently push the material shelf 7 to check that the shelf does not move or shake. This completes the position locking of the material shelf 7. At the same time, check the support effect of the material shelf 7 regularly (once every 2 months) and repair or replace it in time.

[0032] After all the material shelves 7 that need to be adjusted have been adjusted and fixed in height, start loading the materials to be sterilized. After loading is completed, check the fixing status of each shelf again to confirm that no materials exceed the shelf range and no shelves shift abnormally due to the weight of the materials.

[0033] 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.
