Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mushroom bag water injection technology, specifically to an automatic water injection machine for white jade mushroom bags. Background Technology

[0002] The technology of edible mushroom cultivation using bags is developing rapidly, and social demand is constantly increasing. Improving the efficiency of cultivation is an important trend. During the reproduction and growth of mushroom fruiting bodies, a large amount of water is required. The moisture content of the culture medium (bags) is a crucial factor in mycelial growth. Therefore, during mushroom cultivation, it is necessary to inject water into the bags to ensure adequate moisture content. Currently, the main method of watering the bags is manual injection, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and wastes significant human resources. Furthermore, it results in high production costs, reduces the overall efficiency of edible mushroom cultivation, and is not suitable for long-term use.

[0003] Existing automatic watering equipment is inconvenient to apply to production lines, mainly performing semi-automatic watering and requiring manual movement of the mushroom bags. For example, patent document CN213187473U discloses a watering device for edible mushroom bags, which uses a piston cylinder to quantitatively extract water from a water storage tank and supply it to the water injection needle, enabling a fixed amount of water injection into the mushroom bags with precise metering, avoiding over- or under-injection of water; it also features a dual-guide structure to make the operation of the water injection needle more stable. When watering the mushroom bags, the mushroom bags are placed in a groove, making it unsuitable for continuous watering on production lines.

[0004] Patent document CN102845226A discloses an automatic watering system for mushroom bags. This system uses photoelectric switches and time relays to control the water spray valve, automatically spraying water, saving manpower, providing uniform water distribution, and preventing water waste. However, during the watering process, excess water from the mushroom bags accumulates below the water filling station, requiring a solution to the overflow problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic watering machine for white jade mushroom spawn bags that can automatically inject water into the spawn bags and collect the overflow water during the watering process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: An automatic watering machine for white jade mushroom spawn bags includes a support frame, an upper shell fixed to the upper end of the support frame, a conveying component inside the upper end of the support frame, a distributor fixed inside the upper shell, multiple water injection pipes fixedly connected to the lower end of the distributor, an inlet pipe fixedly connected to the upper end of the distributor, a water pump installed on the inlet pipe, a collection component fixed inside the support frame below the distributor, the collection component being located below the conveying component, a detection unit fixed to one side of the support frame below the distributor, and the conveying component, detection unit, controller, relay, and water pump being electrically connected; it also includes a tray, the upper end of the tray's bottom plate having multiple blind holes, into which spawn bags are inserted, and multiple elastic tabs for uprighting the spawn bags are evenly distributed and fixed on the upper circumference of the tray's bottom plate outside the blind holes, after the detection unit detects the tray, the tray is located directly below the distributor, the controller shuts down the conveying component, the multiple water injection pipes correspond one-to-one with the multiple blind holes in the tray, and the water injection pipes are concentric with the blind holes below them.

[0007] Specifically, the water inlet pipe is connected to the water inlet hose, the water inlet hose is connected to the water source, the water pump is fixed on the upper end of the upper shell, and the water pump is electrically connected to the controller through a relay.

[0008] Specifically, the upper end of the distributor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper shell by multiple support rods.

[0009] Specifically, the detection unit includes a support plate fixed to one side of the upper end of the bracket, and a photoelectric sensor is fixed on the support plate. The photoelectric sensor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0010] Specifically, the conveying assembly includes multiple transmission rollers rotatably mounted on the upper end of the support. The multiple transmission rollers are connected by a transmission assembly, which is connected to a motor. The motor is electrically connected to a controller via a driver.

[0011] Specifically, the collection component includes a water tank with its left end tilted downwards. Side plates are fixed to both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the water tank. The upper end of the side plates is fixedly connected to a bracket. An outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the left end of the water tank, and a water outlet hose is installed on the outlet pipe.

[0012] Specifically, the elastic sheet includes a vertical part, the lower end of which is fixed to the upper end of the bottom plate of the tray. An inclined part is provided on one side of the vertical part, the inclined part is close to the axis of the blind hole, the lower end of the inclined part is inclined towards the axis of the blind hole, the upper end of the inclined part is connected to the upper end of the vertical part in an arc transition, and the lower end of the inclined part is curved upward to form a hook, the hook being located between the vertical part and the inclined part.

[0013] Specifically, a baffle is fixed to the right end of the bracket.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The equipment achieves automatic conveying, positioning, watering, and continued conveying of mushroom bags through the coordinated operation of the conveying components and detection unit. The entire process requires no manual intervention, significantly reducing labor intensity and improving production continuity. The controller integrates a timing module, programmably controlling the start and stop of the motor and water pump to ensure rapid switching of the watering station and avoid production interruptions. It is suitable for large-scale white jade mushroom cultivation scenarios and can significantly increase the amount of mushroom bags processed per unit time.

[0015] 2. The water pump is controlled by a timing module, allowing users to precisely adjust the water volume for each spawn bag. This ensures consistent water supply and prevents quality issues caused by over- or under-watering. A detection unit ensures the tray is positioned directly below the dispenser, with the water pipes aligned concentrically with the blind holes. An elastic plate design further clamps and straightens the spawn bags, ensuring the water pipes are always centered on the bags, improving accuracy and reducing waste.

[0016] 3. The collection component is located below the conveying component and is designed with a left-side sloping structure to quickly collect and guide overflowing water, which is then discharged through the outlet hose. This prevents water from accumulating at the water injection station, avoiding problems such as slipping, equipment corrosion, or bacterial growth. This design meets food-grade production workshop hygiene standards, reduces the impact of water stains on the operating environment, and indirectly improves work safety and product quality.

[0017] 4. The elastic plate structure can clamp mushroom bags of different diameters through elastic deformation, automatically aligning them when inserted into the blind hole to ensure concentricity with the water injection pipe. This expands the equipment's applicability, allowing it to handle mushroom bags of various sizes and reducing the cost of changing clamps. The arc-shaped transition design of the elastic plate cushions the impact when inserting the mushroom bags, reducing the risk of breakage; at the same time, the distributor is fixed by support rods, ensuring overall structural stability and adaptability to continuous high-load operation.

[0018] 5. The baffle design on the right end of the support effectively prevents the tray from falling at the end of the conveyor, reducing damage to the mushroom bags and the risk of workplace injuries. The controller centrally manages the motor and water pump, reducing the failure rate and ensuring long-term operational stability. This improves the durability and operational safety of the equipment, making it suitable for industrial production lines. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic water injection machine for white jade mushroom spawn bags includes a support 1, with a baffle 12 fixed to the right end of the support 1.

[0026] The upper shell 5 is fixed to the upper end of the bracket 1, and a conveying component is installed inside the upper end of the bracket 1.

[0027] The conveying assembly includes multiple drive rollers 2 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the support 1. The multiple drive rollers 2 are connected by a transmission assembly, which is connected to a motor. The motor is electrically connected to a controller via a driver.

[0028] A distributor 7 is fixed inside the upper shell 5. Specifically, the upper end of the distributor 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper shell 5 by multiple support rods 6. Multiple water injection pipes 8 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the distributor 7.

[0029] The distributor 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the water inlet pipe 9, and the water pump 10 is installed on the water inlet pipe 9. The water inlet pipe 9 is connected to the water inlet hose 11, and the water inlet hose 11 is connected to the water source. The water pump 10 is fixed on the upper end of the upper shell 5, and the water pump 10 is electrically connected to the controller through a relay.

[0030] A collection component is fixed inside the bracket 1 below the distributor 7, and the collection component is located below the conveying component.

[0031] The collection assembly includes a water tank 14, with the left end of the water tank 14 tilted downwards. Side plates 13 are fixed to both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the water tank 14. The upper end of the side plates 13 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1. An outlet pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the left end of the water tank 14, and a water outlet hose 16 is installed on the outlet pipe 15.

[0032] A detection unit is fixed on one side of the bracket 1 below the distributor 7.

[0033] The detection unit includes a support plate 17 fixed on one side of the upper end of the bracket 1, and a photoelectric sensor 18 fixed on the support plate 17. The photoelectric sensor 18 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0034] It also includes a tray 3, with multiple blind holes 301 on the upper part of the bottom plate of the tray 3, and a mushroom bag 4 is inserted into the blind hole 301.

[0035] After the detection unit detects the tray 3, the tray 3 is located directly below the distributor 7. The controller shuts down the conveying component. Multiple water injection pipes 8 correspond one-to-one with multiple blind holes 301 in the tray 3, and the water injection pipes 8 are concentric with the blind holes 301 below them.

[0036] Multiple mushroom bags 4 are inserted into the blind holes 301 of the tray 3, and then the tray 3 is placed on the conveying assembly. The rotating drive roller 2 enables the tray 3 and mushroom bags 4 to move from left to right.

[0037] When the photoelectric sensor 18 detects the tray 3, it sends a signal to the controller. The controller then shuts off the motor via the driver, and the tray 3 stops moving. After receiving the signal from the photoelectric sensor 18, the controller starts the water pump 10 via a relay. Once the water pump 10 starts, water enters the distributor 7 and is discharged from multiple water injection pipes 8. The water discharged from the water injection pipes 8 is added to the mushroom bag 4.

[0038] After the water pump 10 starts, the timing module in the controller starts. After the set time, the water pump 10 stops. The start time of the water pump 10 can be adjusted by setting the parameters of the timing module, thereby adjusting the amount of water added to the mushroom bag 4.

[0039] Once the timing module reaches the set time, the controller starts the motor via the driver, the transmission roller 2 continues to rotate, and the tray 3 and the mushroom bags 4 inside it continue to be conveyed to the right.

[0040] During the process of injecting water into the mushroom bag 4, when water overflows from the mushroom bag 4, the overflowing water can enter the water tank 14. The water that enters the water tank 14 gathers at the left end of the water tank 14 and is discharged through the outlet pipe 15 and the outlet hose 16, so as to avoid water accumulating below the water injection station and affecting the environment in the workshop.

[0041] By setting a baffle 12 at the right end of the bracket 1, the baffle 12 can block the tray 3, thereby preventing the tray 3 from falling.

[0042] Example 2: Based on Example 1, referring to... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, multiple elastic tabs 302 for supporting the mushroom bag 4 are evenly distributed and fixed on the upper circumference of the bottom plate of the tray 3 outside the blind hole 301. The elastic tab 302 includes a vertical part 3021, the lower end of which is fixed to the upper end of the bottom plate of the tray 3. An inclined part 3022 is provided on one side of the vertical part 3021. The inclined part 3022 is close to the axis of the blind hole 301. The lower end of the inclined part 3022 is inclined towards the axis of the blind hole 301. The upper end of the inclined part 3022 is connected to the upper end of the vertical part 3021 in an arc transition. The lower end of the inclined part 3022 is curved upward to form a hook 3023, which is located between the vertical part 3021 and the inclined part 3022.

[0043] By setting multiple elastic tabs 302, during the process of inserting the mushroom bag 4 into the blind hole 301, the multiple elastic tabs 302 can clamp the mushroom bag 4, thereby straightening the mushroom bag 4 in the blind hole 301.

[0044] During the process of inserting the mushroom bag 4 into the blind hole 301, the mushroom bag 4 squeezes the inclined part 3022 and the hook part 3023. The inclined part 3022 and the hook part 3023 approach the vertical part 3021, and the elastic sheet 302 undergoes elastic deformation. Under the corrective action of multiple elastic sheets 302, the mushroom bag 4 can be made concentric with the blind hole 301, ensuring that the water discharged from the water injection pipe 8 can be effectively injected into the mushroom bag 4.

[0045] Multiple elastic plates 302 can clamp the mushroom bag 4, making it suitable for injecting water into mushroom bags 4 of different diameters.

[0046] By setting the hook 3023, the lower end of the inclined part 3022 of the elastic piece 302 is prevented from scratching the packaging bag of the mushroom bag 4 when the mushroom bag 4 is pulled out.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
