Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi cultivation equipment technology, and in particular to a shiitake mushroom spawn transplanter. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the cultivation of edible fungi such as shiitake mushrooms, a manual transplanter consisting of a conical body and an operating rod is commonly used. The body of this transplanter has a conical structure with a discharge hole at the tip. During operation, the shiitake mushroom spawn is placed inside the body, and then the operating rod is inserted from the top of the body. By manually pushing back and forth, the spawn is squeezed from the discharge hole at the bottom of the body into the planting trough pre-cut in the tree trunk.

[0003] However, existing seed transfer devices have the following shortcomings:

[0004] The interior of the main body and the control lever are exposed to the external environment. During the process of pushing the control lever back and forth, airborne bacteria can easily enter the interior of the main body, resulting in bacterial contamination.

[0005] Repeatedly pulling out the operating rod can easily carry some of the bacterial strain out of the body, causing bacterial loss and affecting inoculation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a shiitake mushroom spawn transfer device with a more enclosed structure that prevents the spawn from being carried out during operation, thus reducing the risk of contamination and improving the efficiency of spawn transfer, in order to address the problem that the repeated pulling of the operating rod can easily lead to the loss of spawn.

[0007] A shiitake mushroom spawn transplanter, comprising:

[0008] The material cylinder is hollow inside, with an opening at the top and a discharge end extending outward from the bottom. The discharge end has a seed material hole that communicates with the inside of the material cylinder.

[0009] A cover, removably and sealingly disposed on the top of the material cylinder; and

[0010] The operating component can reciprocate through the cover and be inserted into the inside of the material cylinder. The bottom end of the operating component is provided with a top material component located on the same long axis as the seed material hole.

[0011] The aforementioned shiitake mushroom spawn transfer device includes a substrate cylinder, a cover, and a reciprocating operating component. The substrate cylinder contains shiitake mushroom spawn to be planted, and the cover seals the top of the cylinder. In use, the operating component passes through the cover and is inserted into the substrate cylinder. The operating component reciprocates vertically (along the long axis of the cylinder), causing the bottom of the operating component to push some of the shiitake mushroom spawn out of the spawn hole at the bottom of the cylinder into a pre-set hole in the trunk. When the operating component moves upward and returns to its original position, the cover guides and restricts its movement, preventing other spawn from being pulled out of the substrate cylinder during removal. Because the substrate cylinder is hollow and the top is completely sealed by the cover, the operating component only reciprocates through the holes in the cover, creating a relatively closed environment for the entire transfer process and effectively preventing external contamination of the spawn.

[0012] In one embodiment, the discharge end is conical, and the vertical cross-sectional area of ​​the discharge end gradually decreases in the direction away from the material cylinder.

[0013] In one embodiment, the operating element includes a push rod that movably passes through the cover, and the bottom of the push rod is provided with the top material component.

[0014] In one embodiment, the top material member is detachably connected to the bottom of the top rod, and the side of the top material member away from the top rod is recessed inward with a groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, the concave groove structure is an arc-shaped concave surface, and the depth of the middle concavity is greater than that at both ends; or the concave groove structure is an inclined concave surface with a downward concavity in the middle.

[0016] In one embodiment, the operating member further includes a cutting blade positioned on the top rod and close to the top material member, the cutting blade comprising at least two blades arranged circumferentially along the top rod.

[0017] In one embodiment, the operating element further includes a pressure block and an elastic element, the pressure block being detachably disposed on the top of the top rod, and the elastic element being sleeved on the top rod and located between the pressure block and the cover.

[0018] In one embodiment, a handle protrudes from the outer side of the cover.

[0019] In one embodiment, a disinfection component is also included. The cover has a cavity inside, the disinfection component is disposed in the cavity, and the operating element movably passes through the cover and the disinfection component.

[0020] In one embodiment, the disinfection assembly includes a housing, a liquid-absorbing component, and a sealing cap. The housing is disposed within the cavity and is hollow inside, with an injection port protruding from the outside and extending to the outside of the cap. The liquid-absorbing component is disposed within the housing and is used to absorb the disinfectant solution within the housing. The sealing cap is disposed on the injection port, and the operating component movably passes through the cap, the housing, and the liquid-absorbing component. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific details described below are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and this utility model can be implemented in many other embodiments different from those described herein. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, a shiitake mushroom spawn transfer device 100 includes: a material cylinder 1, a cover 2, and an operating component 3. The material cylinder 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure with an open top. The spawn to be planted is fed into the material cylinder 1 through the top opening. A conical discharge end 11 extends from the bottom of the material cylinder 1, and the vertical cross-sectional area of ​​the discharge end 11 gradually decreases along the direction away from the material cylinder 1. The bottom of the discharge end 11 has a spawn hole 12 that communicates with the interior of the material cylinder 1 for discharging the spawn. The cover 2 is detachably mounted on the top opening of the material cylinder 1, and its lower surface forms a sealing fit with the upper end surface of the material cylinder 1. The middle of the cover 2 has a through hole for the operating component 3 to pass through. The operating component 3 can move up and down through the cover 2 and is inserted into the interior of the material cylinder 1. The bottom end of the operating component 3 has a top material component 31 located on the same long axis as the spawn hole 12.

[0032] The shiitake mushroom spawn transfer device 100 includes a substrate cylinder 1, a cover 2, and a reciprocating operating component 3. The substrate cylinder 1 contains shiitake mushroom spawn to be planted, and the cover 2 seals the top of the substrate cylinder 1. In use, the operating component 3 passes through the cover 2 and is inserted into the substrate cylinder 1. The operating component 3 reciprocates vertically (along the long axis of the substrate cylinder 1), causing the top material component 31 at the bottom of the operating component 3 to push some of the shiitake mushroom spawn through the seed material hole 12 at the bottom of the substrate cylinder 1 into a pre-set hole in the trunk. When the operating component 3 moves upward and resets, the guide and restriction provided by the cover 2 prevents other spawn from being carried out or pulled out during the removal process. Because the substrate cylinder 1 has a hollow structure and the top is completely sealed by the cover 2, the operating component 3 only reciprocates through the through hole in the cover 2, keeping the entire transfer path in a relatively closed environment and effectively preventing external contamination of the spawn.

[0033] In one embodiment of the operating component 3, the operating component 3 includes a top rod 32, which passes through the through hole of the cover body 2 and can move up and down along the axial direction. The bottom end of the top rod 32 and the top material component 31 are detachably installed through a threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection or plug-in structure, which facilitates cleaning, replacement or adaptation to different types of bacteria.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 The bottom surface of the top material component 31 is provided with a concave groove 33, which is used to temporarily support and concentrate the inoculum before pressing down, so as to achieve directional pushing. The structure of the concave groove 33 can be an arc-shaped concave surface, with the depth of the concavity at the center being greater than that at both ends, so that the inoculum naturally gathers at the center, facilitating pushing and discharge. The structure of the concave groove 33 can also be an inclined concave surface with a downward concavity in the middle, using the inclination angle to guide the inoculum to concentrate towards the inoculum hole 12. Regardless of the structure adopted, it can improve the concentration and stability of the inoculum at the moment of pushing, reduce the occurrence of inoculum deviation or jamming, and significantly improve the uniformity and success rate of transplantation.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The operating component 3 also includes a cutting blade 34. The cutting blade 34 is fixedly disposed at the lower part of the push rod 32 and close to the pusher component 31. There are at least two blades, which are distributed in a ring around the circumference of the push rod 32. When the push rod 32 moves up and down, the blades can cut the larger or clumps of inoculum, allowing the inoculum to pass smoothly through the inoculum hole 12 located at the conical discharge end 11, avoiding blockage caused by the excessive size of the inoculum.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The operating component 3 also includes a pressure block 35 and an elastic element 36. The pressure block 35 is relatively heavy and is detachably connected to the top of the push rod 32 via a threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or plug-in structure, which makes it more convenient and less strenuous to manually push down the push rod 32. The elastic element 36 is sleeved on the outside of the push rod 32, with its lower end abutting against the upper surface of the cover 2 and its other end abutting against the bottom surface of the pressure block 35. The elastic element 36 can be a helical compression spring.

[0037] During use, when the pressing block 35 is pressed down manually, the push rod 32 moves downward against the elastic force of the elastic element 36, pushing the inoculum out of the seed material hole 12. The elastic element 36 effectively prevents the pressing block 35 from directly impacting the cover 2 and damaging the components. When the external force is released, the elastic element 36 pushes the pressing block 35 and the push rod 32 back upward, allowing the operating element 3 to quickly return to its initial position, achieving an automatic reset function. This structure is labor-saving and provides stable operation, which helps improve work efficiency during continuous inoculation.

[0038] To facilitate the stability of the equipment in the woodland or mushroom shed, a handle 4 can be protruding from the outside of the cover 2. The handle 4 can be a one-piece molded or post-installed structure. When the operator holds the handle 4, the entire transfer device can be stabilized, avoiding shaking or tilting during the transfer process, so that the spawn can be accurately pushed into the trunk hole.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 In another embodiment, the shiitake mushroom spawn transfer device 100 also includes a disinfection component 5. The cover 2 has a cavity 21 inside, and the disinfection component 5 is disposed in the cavity 21 and is used to disinfect the surface of the top rod 32 that reciprocates through the cover 2.

[0040] The disinfection assembly 5 includes a housing 51, a liquid-absorbing component 52, and a sealing cap 53. The housing 51 is fixedly disposed within the cavity 21 and is hollow inside. An injection port extends from the outer side of the housing 51 and protrudes outside the cap 2, facilitating the injection of disinfectant into the housing 51. The liquid-absorbing component 52 is disposed inside the housing 51 and is in contact with the disinfectant, continuously absorbing the disinfectant to keep it moist. A sealing cap 53 is provided on the injection port for reliable sealing after liquid addition.

[0041] During operation, the top rod 32 passes through the cover 2, shell 51, and liquid-absorbing component 52, and contacts the liquid-absorbing component 52 during its up-and-down reciprocating motion, ensuring that its surface is continuously wiped and moistened by disinfectant. This effectively reduces the risk of microbial contamination caused by repeated rod movement, which may introduce external microorganisms. This structure is suitable for shiitake mushroom transplantation operations in outdoor or non-sterile environments, significantly improving the transplantation success rate and process hygiene and safety.

[0042] It should be noted that the barrel 1 and the cover 2 can be made of stainless steel or aluminum, and the top rod 32 and the top material 31 can be made of stainless steel.

[0043] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, substitutions, and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the claims.
