Liquid spawn inoculator

Abstract

The present invention provides a liquid spawn inoculator capable of providing a high efficiency of inoculation into cultivating containers (8), wherein a container (9) orderly storing the cultivating containers (8) in multiple rows is intermittently transported to a spawn inoculating position by a transporting mechanism (2), the covers of the cultivating containers in the container are opened by a cover opening and closing mechanism (11) opening and closing the covers laterally for each row, a specified amount of liquid spawn is inoculated into the uncovered cultivating containers laterally for each row through a spawn feed nozzle mechanism (12), the covers are applied to the mouth parts of the cultivating containers laterally for each row by the cover opening and closing mechanism after inoculation, and this operation is repeated to transport the cultivating containers in the container to the outlet by the transporting mechanism while intermittently inoculating into the cultivating containers in the container laterally for each row.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a strain inoculation device for inoculating mushroom strains on a culture medium filled in a mushroom culture container. Background technique [0002] In the past, the industrial culture method of artificially cultivating mushrooms with the medium mixed with sawdust and rice bran as the main components was to fill the medium in the culture container for sterilization, and then add mushrooms such as fire mushrooms and Grifola After the seeds are inoculated in the filled culture container, the mouth of the culture container is sealed with a lid, and bacterial culture is carried out at a predetermined temperature and humidity. [0003] Yet, the existing device that is used to inoculate bacterial classification on the culture medium in the culture vessel, its structure discloses on the Japanese No. 258519 / 1988 and No. 258520 / 1988 Invention Patent Laid-Open Gazette etc., bacterial classification itself is generally The strains are ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the above-mentioned prior art, the filling amount of the bacteria is generally set according to the type of mushrooms to be cultivated, and the rotation time of the above-mentioned pick-up shaft is set, and the difference between the bottle mouth size and the bottle size of the bacteria that have been set will make the bacteria There is a difference in the amount of the seed removed, and the seed in the seed bottle itself is in a solid state, so when the seed is removed, the size of the seed (large sawdust) is different. When the filling amount of the strain is lower than the predetermined amount, it is difficult for the hyphae of the strain to reproduce in the culture container, and the number of days required for cultivation increases

[0005] In order to avoid this defect, some people imagined using photoelectric sensors to measure the amount of bacteria, but the detection accuracy fluctuates due to the pollution of the sensor and its installation, so there will be fluctuations in the amount of bacteria picked out

[0006] In addition, in the prior art mentioned above, in the state where a plurality of culture containers are accommodated in the storage tank, by sequentially performing the operations of opening the culture containers, filling the culture containers, and closing the lids of the culture containers, the strain inoculation efficiency is improved. Under the condition of improving and realizing automation, the effect of inoculation operation efficiency is higher than that of the existing device. On the contrary, once the operation efficiency is improved to speed up the strain filling operation, it will inevitably be accompanied by frequent exchange of the strain bottles for the strain supply. There are still complicated problems in the preparation work such as the exchange operation of the strain bottle by this manual operation method
