Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of edible fungi production equipment, and in particular to a spray-type edible fungi bag washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] The edible mushroom industry is one of my country's distinctive and advantageous agricultural industries. As the core carrier for edible mushroom cultivation, the mushroom bag requires several steps, including high-temperature sterilization, inoculation, mycelial growth, and fruiting, to complete a production cycle. To reduce production costs and achieve resource recycling, most companies wash and disinfect discarded mushroom bags for reuse. However, during use, mushroom bags easily accumulate various contaminants such as culture medium residue, mycelial fragments, fungal spores, and sediment. Incomplete cleaning can not only affect the fruiting rate of the next cultivation cycle but also lead to cross-contamination by other fungi, severely restricting the yield and quality of edible mushrooms.

[0003] Currently, existing mushroom bag cleaning technologies suffer from the following main drawbacks: First, traditional cleaning methods rely heavily on manual hand washing or simple high-pressure water gun rinsing, depending on operator experience, resulting in high labor intensity, low efficiency, and difficulty in removing stubborn contaminants from the folds and mesh of the mushroom bags. Second, some semi-automated equipment uses only a single brushing or spraying method, offering limited cleaning capabilities and having limited effectiveness in removing deep-seated stains (such as clumps of culture medium embedded in the mesh). Third, the cleaning process lacks a systematic design and does not classify and treat contaminants on the surface of the mushroom bags according to their characteristics (such as sticky residues and microbial films), leading to incomplete cleaning or excessive water consumption. Fourth, direct discharge or disorderly collection of wastewater easily causes secondary pollution and fails to meet environmental protection requirements.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a specialized device that is compact, efficient in cleaning, and environmentally friendly and energy-saving, to solve the cleaning problem in the recycling of edible mushroom bags. Utility Model Content

During this movement, the rotating brush head 28 of the oscillating cleaning unit 2 dynamically brushes the surface of the mushroom bags under the action of the oscillating cylinder 24 and the rotating servo motor 27; simultaneously, the fan-shaped nozzles of the high-pressure spray cleaning unit 3 spray high-pressure water to assist in removing contaminants from the mesh. After reaching the outlet 13, the mushroom bags fall into the cleaning channel 41 of the roller brush unit 4. The rotating roller brush 42 uses spiral brush strips to perform a secondary brushing of the folded areas of the mushroom bags, and then enters the cleaning tank 51 of the ultrasonic cleaning unit 5 via the guide channel 45. The lifting bracket 52 is driven by the conveying cylinder 53 to adjust its height, immersing the mushroom bags in water. The ultrasonic transducer 54 is activated, removing deep-seated stubborn stains through cavitation effect. After final cleaning, the mushroom bags are output from the cleaning tank 51. After the ultrasonic cleaning unit 5 is started, the wastewater automatically flows into the sewage collection system through the drain outlet 55 and the drain outlet 16, completing the entire cleaning process.

[0024] The above embodiments show that this utility model, through multi-unit collaborative design, achieves multi-level cleaning of mushroom bags from the surface to the depths, with a high degree of automation, thorough cleaning, and environmental protection and energy saving, and is suitable for the large-scale production needs of recycling edible mushroom bags.
