[0002] During mycelial culture, the edible mushroom culture medium is placed in a culture medium bottle. The bottle is fitted with a cap, which protects the medium from external environmental contamination and also has vents to allow steam to enter and sterilize the medium. The cap also allows for air circulation for the mycelium. After cultivation, the cap needs to be removed from the top of the bottle. However, in the constantly changing production environment, the cap often becomes soiled with mycelium or other debris, blocking the vents and leading to insufficient oxygen for the mycelium, poor mycelial vitality, increased susceptibility to disease, or a significant drop in yield. Manual cleaning of the cap is necessary, but this is labor-intensive and costly. Therefore, a cap-blowing device using compressed air is needed to clean the cap. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of this utility model, and these aspects can be achieved even without these specific details.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a bottle cap blowing device includes an air tank 1, an air pipe distributor 2, a fixing base 3, and a bottle cap blowing mechanism 4. The air tank 1 is connected to the air pipe distributor 2 via an air guide pipe 5, through which compressed air from the air tank 1 is introduced into the air pipe distributor 2. The bottom of the air tank 1 is equipped with self-locking casters 11, which facilitates the movement and fixation of the air tank 1. Fixing brackets 6 are respectively provided on both sides of the fixing base 3, which ensures the stability of the fixing brackets 6 during operation. The air pipe distributor 2 is located inside the fixed frame 6 and is mounted on the fixed base 3. A support frame 7 is slidably connected between the fixed frames 6. The support frame 7 can slide up and down on the fixed frame 6. The bottle cap blowing mechanism 4 is mounted on the support frame 7. The bottle cap blowing mechanism 4 is used to clean the inside of the bottle cap to prevent the air vent of the bottle cap from being blocked. The bottle cap blowing mechanism 4 is connected to the air pipe distributor 2 through the blowing air pipe 8. The air pipe distributor 2 evenly distributes compressed air to each blowing air pipe 8.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of exhaust solenoid valves 12 are provided on one side of the gas storage tank 1. Each exhaust solenoid valve 12 is connected to an air guide pipe 5. There are five exhaust solenoid valves 12 and five air guide pipes 5. A telescopic push-pull rod 13 is provided at one end of the gas storage tank 1. When it is necessary to blow clean the bottle cap, the exhaust solenoid valves 12 are opened, and compressed air enters the air pipe distributor 2 through the air guide pipe 5. The bottle cap blowing mechanism 4 then blows clean the bottle cap, effectively cleaning the debris inside the cap.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner side of the fixing frame 6 is provided with a sliding groove 61, which is vertically arranged. Slider 71 is connected to both ends of the support frame 7. The slider 71 is disposed inside the sliding groove 61 and slidably connected to the sliding groove 61. The slider 71 is T-shaped. The slider 71 can slide up and down inside the sliding groove 61, thereby realizing the up and down sliding of the support frame 7.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, drive cylinders 72 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom end of the support frame 7. The drive cylinders 72 are used to drive the support frame 7 to move up and down. The upper end of the drive cylinder 72 is connected to the support frame 7, and the lower end of the drive cylinder 72 is connected to the fixed base 3. After the bottle cap is removed from the edible fungus culture medium bottle by an external capping machine, the support frame 7 is driven to slide upward by the stretching of the drive cylinder 72. Then, the bottle cap blowing mechanism 4 blows the bottle cap, thereby cleaning the dirt inside the bottle cap.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottle cap blowing mechanism 4 includes a rotary motor 41 and several rotary shafts 42, with 25 rotary shafts 42. Each rotary shaft 42 is connected to a blowing air pipe. The rotary motor 41 is connected to one side of the support frame 7 via a connecting plate 43. The connecting plate 43 can be Z-shaped or L-shaped. One end of the connecting plate 43 is connected to the rotary motor 41, and the other end of the connecting plate 43 is connected to the support frame 7. The output end of the rotary motor 41 is located inside the connecting plate 43. The output end of the rotary motor 41 is provided with a drive gear 44. The rotary shafts 42 are movably connected to the support frame 7 via bearings. The lower part of the rotary shaft 42 is provided with a driven gear 45. The driven gear 45 meshes with the drive gear 44 in the middle. The driven gears 45 mesh with each other. The top end of the rotary shaft 42 is provided with a brush 46. When the bottle cap is blown clean, the rotary motor 41 drives the drive gear 44 to rotate, the drive gear 44 drives the middle driven gear 45 to rotate, the middle driven gear 45 drives the two driven gears 45 meshing with it to rotate, and the two driven gears 45 respectively drive the driven gears 45 meshing with them to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating shaft 42, so that the brush 46 at the top of the rotating shaft 42 cleans the bottle cap.

[0026] like Figure 4As shown, the rotating shaft 42 is a hollow structure, with a tray 47 at its top. The brush 46 is mounted on the tray 47, and the brush 46 and tray 47 are detachable for easy maintenance and management. The tray 47 is a hollow circular structure. A rotary air pipe connector 48 is located at the bottom of the rotating shaft 42, through which compressed air enters the rotating shaft 42 via a purge air pipe. The brush 46 has an air jet hole 49 with a diameter of 2-3 mm. The air jet hole 49 has an internal thread, allowing an external threaded air pipe connector to be screwed into it. An external threaded air pipe connector of appropriate diameter and length can be used as needed. When the brush cleans the bottle cap, compressed gas is ejected from the jet hole 49. The jet hole 49 can spray out air pressure of 0.6-0.7MPa to blow away the dirt inside the bottle cap. The brush rotates and blows for 3-5 seconds and then stops. All the dirt inside the cap and the vent holes inside the bottle cap are blown open and cleaned, improving the cleaning effect.

[0027] Working principle

[0028] When bottle cap cleaning is required, the bottle cap is placed above the bottle cap blowing mechanism 4. The extension of the drive cylinder 72 causes the support frame 7 to slide upwards, allowing the brush 46 on the rotating shaft 42 to reach the inside of the bottle cap. The rotating motor 41 drives the drive gear 44 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 45 in the middle to rotate. The driven gear 45 in the middle drives the two driven gears 45 meshing with it to rotate, and each of the two driven gears 45 then drives the driven gears 45 meshing with it to rotate. This allows the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, causing the brush 46 at the top of the rotating shaft 42 to clean the bottle cap. While the brush 46 is cleaning the bottle cap, the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is opened, and compressed air enters the air pipe distributor 2 from the air tank 1 through the air pipe 5. The air pipe distributor 2 distributes the compressed air to the purge air pipe 8, and then the compressed air enters the rotating shaft 42 from the purge air pipe 8 through the rotating air pipe connector 48, and is then ejected through the jet hole 49 on the brush 46 to purge the bottle cap and improve the cleaning effect.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
