Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0019] Example 1: As Figures 1-6 ,include: The frame 100 has bearing seats 110 fixedly installed at its four corners. The inner walls of the front and rear sides are rotatably connected to the shaft 120 through bearings. The two ends of the shaft 120 are connected to the chain 130 through the meshing transmission of the sprocket 121. The outer walls of the two sets of chains 130 are fitted with U-shaped brackets 131, and the inner walls of the U-shaped brackets 131 are fitted with the mushroom sticks. The punching assembly includes a first push plate 310, and insert rods 320 are uniformly fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the push plate 310. The insert rods 320 are used to punch holes in the top of the mushroom stick. The inoculation assembly includes a second push plate 430, and an injection needle 440 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the second push plate 430; The unloading assembly includes an unloading rod 530 and a piston 540. A first servo motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the bearing seat 110. The outer wall of the output shaft of the first servo motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 120 through a coupling. The first servo motor is used to drive the chain 130 to feed the mushroom sticks.

[0020] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The first servo motor is started, and the output shaft of the first servo motor drives the rotating shaft 120 to rotate through the coupling. The sprockets 121 at both ends of the rotating shaft 120 rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 120. The sprockets 121 mesh with the transmission chain 130, so that the two sets of chains 130 move cyclically along the direction of the rotating shaft 120 supported by the bearing seat 110, and the mushroom sticks are inserted into the U-shaped brackets 131 on the outer wall of the chain 130. The U-shaped brackets 131 move with the chain 130, thereby driving the mushroom sticks to be transported from the feeding end of the device to the subsequent processing station, realizing the automated feeding of mushroom sticks, and providing a stable material transport foundation for the subsequent drilling and inoculation processes.

[0021] Example 2: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A vertical plate 200 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the frame 100, and a support plate 210 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the vertical plate 200. The drilling assembly also includes a guide rail 300, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the vertical plate 200. The two ends of the first push plate 310 are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the two guide rails 300. A second servo motor 340 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the support plate 210. An eccentric wheel 350 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output shaft of the second servo motor 340. A first photoelectric sensor 311 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the first push plate 310. A pull rod 330 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the eccentric wheel 350 through an eccentric shaft. The bottom of the pull rod 330 is rotatably connected to the top of the first push plate 310.

[0022] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: When the mushroom stick is transported to the punching station by the U-shaped card holder 131, the first photoelectric sensor 311 detects the position of the mushroom stick and feeds back a signal. The second servo motor 340 starts, and the output shaft of the second servo motor 340 drives the eccentric wheel 350 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 350 pulls the pull rod 330 up and down through the eccentric shaft. The pull rod 330 drives the first push plate 310 to slide up and down along the guide rail 300 on the inner wall of the vertical plate 200. The insertion rod 320 at the bottom of the first push plate 310 moves down synchronously with the first push plate 310. The insertion rod 320 contacts the top of the mushroom stick and inserts into the mushroom stick, completing the mushroom stick punching operation. After punching is completed, the eccentric wheel 350 continues to rotate, and the pull rod 330 pulls the first push plate 310 up to reset. The insertion rod 320 disengages from the mushroom stick and waits for the next mushroom stick to be transported to the punching station before repeating the above actions.

[0023] Example 3: Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The inoculation assembly also includes a second support plate 400, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the upright plate 200. A top plate 410 is fixedly installed on the top of the upright plate 200. A first hydraulic telescopic rod 420 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the top plate 410. The output end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 420 is connected to a second push plate 430. The injection needle 440 and the insertion rod 320 are correspondingly distributed. The injection needle 440 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second support plate 400. A medicine chamber 450 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the second support plate 400. The inner wall of the medicine chamber 450 is connected to the injection needle 440 through an infusion tube 460. A metering valve 441 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the injection needle 440. A booster pump for delivering the medicine is installed at the input end of the infusion tube 460. A second photoelectric sensor 470 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the second support plate 400.

[0024] The specific usage scenario of this embodiment is as follows: After the mushroom stick is punched, it is transported to the inoculation station along with the U-shaped card holder 131. The second photoelectric sensor 470 detects the mushroom stick and sends a feedback signal. The first hydraulic telescopic rod 420 is activated. The output end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 420 pushes the second push plate 430 downward along the second support plate 400 on the inner wall of the upright plate 200. The injection needle 440 at the bottom of the second push plate 430 moves downward with the second push plate 430 and is inserted into the punched hole of the mushroom stick. At the same time, the booster pump at the input end of the infusion tube 460 is activated, and the inoculum in the medicine tank 450 is transported to the injection needle 440 through the infusion tube 460. The quantitative valve 441 at the top of the injection needle 440 controls the output amount of inoculum to ensure that the inoculum is accurately injected into the hole of the mushroom stick. After inoculation, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 420 retracts, driving the second push plate 430 and the injection needle 440 to move upward and reset, waiting for the next mushroom stick to enter the inoculation station.

[0025] Example 4: Figure 1 and Figure 6 The unloading assembly also includes an unloading support frame 500, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the frame 100. A second guide rail 510 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the unloading support frame 500. The inner wall of the second guide rail 510 is slidably connected to the unloading rod 530 via a slide block. A flexible protective pad 541 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the piston 540. A second hydraulic telescopic rod 520 is fixedly installed on the top of the unloading support frame 500. The output end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 520 is fixedly engaged with the outer wall of the slide block. The piston 540 is connected to a third photoelectric sensor 542 embedded in the inner wall of its end. The piston 540 is used to eject the mushroom sticks inside the U-shaped card holder 131. The outer wall of the frame 100 away from the ejection support frame 500 is provided with a limiting plate 140. There are two sets of limiting plates 140. The two sets of limiting plates 140 are magnetically connected to the storage compartment 550. The four corners of the bottom of the storage compartment 550 are rotatably connected to casters 551. The outer wall of the storage compartment 550 is fixedly installed with handles 552.

[0026] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: After the mushroom sticks are inoculated, they are transported to the unloading station along with the U-shaped card holder 131. The third photoelectric sensor 542 detects the mushroom sticks and sends a feedback signal, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 520 is activated, and the output end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 520 pushes the slide to move along the second guide rail 510 at the top of the unloading support frame 500. The slide drives the unloading rod 530 to move synchronously. The piston 540 at the end of the unloading rod 530 contacts the mushroom sticks. The flexible protective pad 541 on the outer wall of the piston 540 avoids direct hard contact with the mushroom sticks and causes damage. As the unloading rod 530 continues to move, the piston 540 pushes the U-shaped card holder 131 into the mushroom sticks. The mushroom sticks are pushed out and fall into the storage bin 550, which is magnetically connected between the limiting plates 140 on the other side of the frame 100. When the storage bin 550 is full of mushroom sticks, the storage bin 550 can be pulled by the handle 552 and moved to the designated position by the universal wheels 551 at the bottom of the storage bin 550, thus completing the unloading and collection of mushroom sticks. All the components involved in this utility model are externally connected to the controller in a conventional way. The above structure and principle are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When used by those skilled in the art, the mushroom stick is inserted into the U-shaped bracket 131 on the chain 130. The first servo motor drives the rotating shaft 120 and the sprocket 121 to drive the chain 130 to rotate, realizing the automated conveying of the mushroom stick. The mushroom stick first reaches the punching station, and the first photoelectric sensor 311 triggers the second servo motor 340, which drives the first push plate 310 and the insertion rod 320 to complete the punching through the eccentric wheel 350 and the pull rod 330. Then the mushroom stick is conveyed to the inoculation station, and the first... Two photoelectric sensors 470 trigger the first hydraulic telescopic rod 420, pushing the injection needle 440 into the hole. Combined with the booster pump and the metering valve 441, the inoculum in the medicine tank 450 is precisely injected. Finally, the inoculum stick reaches the unloading station. The third photoelectric sensor 542 triggers the second hydraulic telescopic rod 520, which pushes the inoculum stick into the collection tank 550 through the unloading rod 530 and the piston 540. The entire process is fully automated through the collaboration of various sensors and drive components, from feeding, punching, inoculation to unloading and collection of inoculum sticks.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand 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 claims and their equivalents.
