Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an inoculation machine for injecting cultured fungi of mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms into transplant holes of wood grains.

(Prior Art) Shiitake mushrooms are cultivated by culturing the mushroom fungus in sawdust and planting it into a transplant hole formed in a tree such as a sawdust tree.

Conventionally, as an inoculation machine for planting Shiitake fungi into the transplant hole of a tree, the one shown in Fig. 9 and Fig.
Publication No. 121634).

The known inoculation machine shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 has a bacteria extraction port 103 in the bottom plate 102 of a cylindrical bacteria hopper 101, and a bacteria for one time of implantation is placed in the lower part of the bacteria extraction port 103. A bacteria quantitative storage chamber 104 for filling is provided. Also, fungus hopper 1
Inside 01 is a rotor blade 105 (rotated by a motor)
is provided, and the bacteria in the bacteria hopper 101 can be loosened by the rotary blades 105 and dropped into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 104 from the bacteria extraction port 103. This bacteria outlet 103 has a relatively small opening area, for example, about 10 mm in width and about 20 to 30 mm in length. In addition, the code|symbol 106 is the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 10
This is an extrusion device for extruding the bacteria filled in 4.

By the way, since the mushroom inoculum is cultured in sawdust with appropriate humidity, the sawdust cultured bacteria has nodules and viscosity. Furthermore, the length of the fibers of the sawdust used as culture soil for the inoculum may become long depending on the type of wood or the sawing direction. In this way, if the sawdust cultured bacteria is in the form of nodules, has viscosity, or has long fibers, it is necessary to compare the sawdust cultured bacteria stored in the fungus hopper. When trying to collect bacteria into the quantitative storage chamber by dropping bacteria from a bacteria outlet with a small target opening area, the bacteria outlet may be clogged with sawdust cultured bacteria.

However, in the above-mentioned known inoculation machine,
A bacteria extraction port 103 is formed in the bottom plate 102 of the bacteria hopper, and the cultured bacteria from sawdust is filled into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 104 by dropping the bacteria. Moreover, since the rotary blade 105 simply rotates above the bacteria extraction port 103 during its rotation, although it has the effect of loosening the sawdust cultured bacteria to some extent, it does not generate much force to push the bacteria into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 104. Therefore, in this known inoculation machine, if the sawdust cultured bacteria is lump-shaped, has viscosity, or has long fiber length, the sawdust cultured bacteria is removed from the bacteria outlet 103. It may become clogged and block part or all of the area of the bacteria extraction port 103, and if this happens, the amount of cultured bacteria filled into the transplant hole will not be constant (the yield will be reduced).
There was a problem.

(Purpose of the invention) In view of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional inoculation method, the present invention is an inoculation method that allows a fixed amount of cultured bacteria to be accurately filled into the transplant hole regardless of the condition of the cultured bacteria. The purpose was to provide a germicidal machine.

(Means for Achieving the Object) The inoculation machine of the present invention includes a cylindrical fungus hopper 1 capable of storing mushroom cultured bacteria and having a fungus outlet on the side wall of the bottom, and a cylindrical fungus hopper 1 that can store mushroom cultured bacteria and has a fungus outlet on the side wall of the bottom. a bacteria quantitative storage chamber, which is connected to the bacteria hopper and is capable of accommodating the cultured bacteria in the bacteria hopper for each planting time, is cylindrical with both left and right ends open, and has one open end as a bacteria discharge port; A bacteria filling device is provided with a rotary blade located at the same height as the bacteria extraction port around a rotating shaft that is located in a hopper and rotated by an appropriate drive mechanism, and a bacteria filling device that is of a reciprocating type. During the backward movement, the bacteria filling device is used to fill a certain amount of the cultured bacteria in the bacteria hopper into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber, and during the forward movement, the bacteria filling device fills a certain amount of cultured bacteria stored in the bacteria quantitative storage chamber. and an operating device capable of pushing out bacteria from the bacteria discharge port to the outside, and a control device that controls the rotation of the rotary blade when the rotary blade is rotated in a direction for pushing bacteria into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber with respect to the rotation axis. By attaching the leading surface at an acute angle to the tangential direction of the inner circumferential surface of the bacteria hopper and rotating the rotary blade, the cultured bacteria in the bacteria hopper can be pushed outward in the horizontal circumferential direction. It is characterized by the fact that

(Function) In the inoculating machine of the present invention, a certain amount of cultured bacteria is automatically filled into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber when the operating device moves backward, and is stored in the bacterial quantitative storage chamber when the operating device moves forward. A certain amount of cultured bacteria will be pushed out from the bacteria outlet. Therefore, by moving the operating device forward with the bacteria discharge port in contact with the transplant hole of the tree, a certain amount of cultured bacteria will be forced into the transplant hole.

Further, according to the present invention, the bacteria filling device has the rotary blade located at the same height as the bacteria extraction port, and the leading surface of the rotary blade when rotating in the direction of pushing bacteria into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber is close to the inner periphery of the bacteria hopper. Since it is mounted on the rotating shaft at an acute angle to the tangential direction of the surface,
When the rotary blade is rotated in the bacteria-pushing direction, the cultured bacteria in the bacteria hopper will be pushed outward in the horizontal circumferential direction, and the cultured bacteria contained in the bacteria hopper will be in the shape of a lump or have a low viscosity. Even if the conditions are such that the sawdust fibers used to culture the seed bacteria are too long to allow the cultured bacteria to pass smoothly through the bacteria extraction port, the cultured bacteria can be forcibly quantified in a fixed amount from the bacteria extraction port. You can now push it into the containment chamber.

(Example) A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 8. The inoculation machine of this embodiment stores cultured bacteria A (seed cultured in sawdust). A bacteria hopper 1 for removing bacteria and a bacteria extraction port 1 of the bacteria hopper 1

Furthermore, during the forward movement, a certain amount of cultured bacteria Aa filled in the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2 and the lid material 10 supplied to the lid material standby section 59 are simultaneously pushed out from the bacteria discharge port 21. It is configured with an operating device 6 as a basic member (device).

The lid material 10 used in this inoculation machine is formed into a disc shape from an elastic material such as styrofoam. The outer diameter L (6th
Figure) shows the inner diameter M of the transplant hole C formed in the Hoda tree B.
(Fig. 4, M = approx. 14 mm) is slightly larger (L = 15 mm)
~16 mm), and after the lid material 10 is press-fitted into the transplant hole C, it is prevented from accidentally coming out due to frictional force. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the lid material 10 is continuous in a row of rods with a part of the center (diameter 2 to 3 mm) successively continuous, and as described later, the lid material 10 is When the materials are supplied from the outlet 4a of the lid material holding member 4 to the lid material standby section 59, they are cut off one by one one by one.

The fungus hopper 1 has a cylindrical hopper body 1 with a bottom.
1 is formed by applying a lid 12 to the upper opening.
The hopper main body 11 has a lower half portion as a container portion 11b and an upper half portion as a cylindrical portion 11a. Cylindrical part 11
A is made of a transparent material such as acrylic, so that the remaining amount of cultured bacteria A contained inside can be visually confirmed from the outside. At the lower end of the side wall 11c of the container portion 11b of the hopper main body 11,
A long hole-shaped bacteria extraction port 13 is formed over an appropriate angle range (for example, an angle range of about 60°).

Further, the container portion 11b of the bacteria hopper 1 is provided with an opening area adjustment device 9 for adjusting the opening area of the bacteria extraction port 13. This opening area adjusting device 9 has an opening height and width of the bacteria extraction port 13 and is curved with the same curvature as the inner circumferential surface of the container portion 11b.
It has a shaped strip plate 91 and an operation part 92 for sliding the strip plate 91 in the horizontal rotation direction. The operating portion 92 includes a bolt 93 fixed outwardly to the outer surface of the strip plate 91 and a thumbscrew 9 screwed into the bolt 93.
It consists of 4. On the other hand, a notch 95 is formed near the lower end of the container portion 11b of the germ hopper 1 by an appropriate angle range (for example, 30 to 50 degrees) for guiding the bolt 93 in the horizontal circumferential direction. . And this opening area adjustment device 9
The belt-shaped plate 91 is placed along the inner surface of the container portion 11b, the bolt 93 is projected from the notch 95 to the outside of the container, and a wing nut 94 is screwed onto the bolt 93 from the outside of the container. This opening area adjustment device 9 can be rotated in an arc in the left-right rotation direction by loosening the wing nut 94 and pinching the wing nut portion (operating portion 92) (in FIG. 5, the operating portion 92 is moved from the position shown by the solid line to the position indicated by the chain line 92' By rotating the operating portion 92 in an arc in this manner, the opening area of the bacteria outlet 13 can be adjusted using the strip plate 91. That is, when the operating section 92 is at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 5, the strip plate 91 opens the bacteria extraction port 13 wide, and when the operating section is moved to the position indicated by the chain line 92', the tip side of the strip plate is located at the position indicated by the chain line 91'. As shown in , the front surface of the bacteria extraction port 13 is covered to reduce the opening area.

In this embodiment, the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2 uses a cylindrical pipe material 20 with both ends open.
The inner diameter of this pipe material 20 is the transplant hole C of the hodaki tree B.
(Fig. 4, Fig. 7, and Fig. 8) has approximately the same inner diameter. In addition, the inside of this pipe material 20 is
The inner diameter of the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2 is made slightly larger than the inner diameter of the transplant hole C, and a certain amount of cultured bacteria Aa stored in the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2 is transferred to the transplant hole C as described later.
The cultured bacteria Aa may be implanted in a compressed state. Further, an elongated opening 22 having approximately the same size as the bacteria outlet 13 at the bottom of the bacteria hopper is formed on the side surface of the pipe material 20. This pipe material 20 is fixed (welded) to the side surface of the bacteria hopper 1 with its opening 22 completely polymerized to the bacteria outlet 13 on the bacteria hopper side. One end of this pipe material 20 projects considerably outward from the outer periphery of the bacteria hopper 1, and this outwardly projecting end forms a bacteria discharge port 21.

At the end of the antibacterial discharge port side of this bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2,
In order to close the entrance of the transplant hole C, a lid material standby section 59 is provided in which the lid material 10 is temporarily placed on standby. As shown in FIG. 6, the lid material standby section 59 is an inverted U-shaped space that is open at the bottom. The inner diameter D of this lid material standby part 59 is slightly smaller (D
= about 14mm). In addition, the inner diameter D of the lid material standby part 59 may be made the same diameter as the outer diameter L of the lid material 10.
This lid material standby section 59 has an inlet 59a on the lower side, and the lid material 10 is inserted into the lid material standby section 59 at the entrance 59a.
It is designed to be pushed upward from the top. Moreover, the opening width W (FIG. 6) of this inlet 59a is:
smaller than the inner diameter D of the lid material standby part 59 (for example, W=
12 mm), and the lid material 10 is placed in the lid material standby section 59.
When feeding the lid material 10 into the interior, the lid material 10 is pushed in while being elastically deformed at the entrance 59a. In this way, the inner diameter D of the lid material standby part 59 is made slightly smaller (or the same diameter) than the outer diameter L of the lid material 10,
Furthermore, if the opening width W of the inlet 59a of the lid material standby section 59 is made slightly narrower than the inner diameter D of the lid material standby section 59, the lid material 10 supplied into the lid material standby section 59 can be is in pressure contact with the inner surface of the lid member standby part 59 and is supported from below by the edge of the inlet 59a, so that it is always held in an accurate posture.

In this embodiment, the operating device 6 includes a push rod 61 in the shape of a long round bar and an air cylinder 71 for moving the push rod 61 forward and backward.

The push rod 61 has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe material 20 of the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2. Further, this push rod 61 is installed concentrically with the pipe material 20 of the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2 on the side of the lid material standby part 59 of the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2,
As the air cylinder 71 expands and contracts, the tip 61a of the push rod 61 (which serves as a pressing part) can move into and out of the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2. Note that the air cylinder 71 and the push rod 61 are connected to the tip of the rod of the air cylinder 71 and the push rod 6.
A fixing ring 62 fixed to the end on the arrow Q side of No. 1 is connected and fixed to be integrated. In addition, this push rod 61 has its tip pressing portion 61a slightly further away from the bacteria discharge port 21 from a position (FIGS. 1 and 4) that is further outside the lid material standby portion 59 (on the side of the antibacterial quantitative storage chamber). The air cylinder 71 is arranged so that it can move forward and backward within the range of the protruding position (FIGS. 2 and 7).
The expansion and contraction length range is regulated. In addition, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the reference numeral 72 is a compressor;
3 is a switching valve.

The bacteria filling device 3 has a rotating shaft 31 installed vertically penetrating the center of the bottom of the bacterial hopper 1, and two upper and lower parts on the upper side of the rotating shaft 31 (inside the bacterial hopper 1).
Two rotary blades 32 and 33 are attached, and a small gear 34 is provided on the lower side of the rotating shaft 31 (outside the bottom of the bacteria hopper). 35 in mesh with each other. Furthermore, when the air cylinder 71 is extended or contracted by the entire expansion/contraction range from the most extended state to the most contracted state, the rotating shaft 31 can be rotated to the right or left by exactly one rotation, respectively. ing. Further, the lower rotary blades 33 have a flat plate shape, and a total of four blades are provided on the same plane.

These lower rotary blades 33, 33... are located at the same height as the bacteria extraction port 13, and as shown in FIG. The leading surface of the rotary blade 33 when rotating in the direction is installed in a posture such that it forms an acute angle (angle Y = about 70° to 80° in the illustrated example) with respect to the tangent (L-L') direction of the inner circumferential surface of the bacteria hopper 1. ing. That is, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 31 has an appropriate thickness, and each rotary blade 3
By welding and attaching the base end side surfaces of 3, 33... to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 31, each rotor blade 33,
33,... is the tangent to the inner peripheral surface of the bacteria hopper (L-L')
The angle Y is given to the direction. Therefore, when these rotary blades 33, 33... are rotated in the direction of pushing the cultured bacteria (the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 5), the leading surface of the rotary blades 33 pushes the cultured bacteria A outward in the horizontal circumferential direction. An action that pushes out the water begins to work. Furthermore, in this embodiment, each rotor blade 3
The tip sides of 3, 33, etc. are inclined toward the rear side in the pushing rotation direction (clockwise rotation direction), which further increases the effect of pushing the cultured bacteria outward. Also, one of the four lower rotary blades 33, 33... has a bacteria outlet 13 of the bacteria hopper 1 at the tip of the blade.
A lid-shaped portion 33a is formed with a size that can close almost the entire opening area of the lid. The rotary blade 33 with the lid-shaped portion 33a is configured to stop at a position where the lid-shaped portion 33a substantially completely closes the bacteria extraction port 13 when the air cylinder 71 is in the fully extended state and in the fully contracted state. And this bacteria filling device 3

The slide ring 36 for operating the bacteria filling device 3 consists of two fixing rings (an intermediate fixing ring 38 and a tip fixing ring 6) each fixed to the push rod 61 at a predetermined interval.
2), it is in a free state, and when the push rod 61 approaches (in the direction of arrow P), the second
As shown in the figure, after the tip fixing ring 62 located on the arrow Q side makes contact, the fixing ring 62 moves it toward the arrow P side, and on the other hand, when the push rod 61 retreats (in the arrow Q direction), as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, after the intermediate fixing ring 38 located on the arrow P side comes into contact with the intermediate fixing ring 38, the fixing ring 38 moves the intermediate fixing ring 38 toward the arrow Q side. Further, the upper rotary blade 32 of the two rotary blades 32 and 33 is for stirring (disentangling) the cultured bacteria A contained in the bacteria hopper 1.

As the lid holding member 4, a cylindrical body 41 having an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the lid 10 is used.
Incidentally, this cylindrical body 41 has cut grooves 42 formed at small intervals along its entire length, and the amount of the lid material 10 in the lid material holding member 4 can be confirmed through the cut grooves 42. I'm trying to get it. This lid material holding member 4
is fixed (welded) near the push rod 61, parallel to and directly below the push rod 61. Further, the outlet 4a of the lid holding member 4 is located directly below the lid waiting section 59. In front of the lid holding member outlet 4a, an abutment plate 43 (FIG. 4) is provided at a distance of one thickness of the lid 10.

A weight 57 is housed in the lid holding member 4 for pressing the rear ends of the lids 10, 10, . In addition, since this inoculation machine is used with the bacteria discharge port 21 facing downward or diagonally downward, the weight 57 is designed to constantly press the lid members 10, 10, . . . toward the lid material holding member outlet 4a side. It acts on

The lid material supply device 5 includes an intermediate fixing ring 38 fixed to a push rod 61 and a push rod 6.
A slide ring 52 that is loosely fitted in 1 and is pressed and operated by the fixed ring 38, a bending lever 53 that is bent and stretched by the slide of the slide ring 52, and a bending and stretching lever 53 that is bent and stretched by the bending and stretching action of the bending and stretching lever 53. It has a slide rod 54 that can be slid in the vertical direction. The bending lever 53 is biased by a spring 56 in the direction in which the slide rod 54 enters (upward). Further, a side rod 55 installed parallel to the push rod 61 is fixed to the slide ring 52. When the push rod 61 is retracted (FIGS. 1 and 4), the lid material supplying device 5 is operated by the intermediate fixing ring 38.

When the slide rod 54 is in the advanced state, the chain line 5 in FIG.
As shown by 4', the tip of the slide rod approaches the lid material standby section 59 to move the lid material 10 to the lid material standby section 5.
9, and when the slide rod 54 is in the retracted state, the slide rod 54 is pushed in as shown by the solid line in FIG.
The tip is located further below the outlet 4a of the lid holding member 4 to open the outlet 4a of the lid holding member 4 (the lid 10 at the tip comes into contact with the contact plate 43).
It's becoming like that. Note that when the push rod 61 moves back in the direction of arrow Q (the air cylinder 71 extends) from the retracted state of the slide rod 54 (the advanced state of the push rod 61 shown in FIG. 7), the pressing force on the slide ring 52 is released and the bending lever 53 is biased in the extension direction by the spring 56 (the slide rod 54 is biased upward), but the biasing force of the spring 56 alone is not enough to prevent the continuous lid member 1

By doing so, one lid material 10 located at the tip is pushed out and the lid material 10 is pushed out to a lid material standby section 59. Incidentally, when the lid member 10 enters the lid member standby portion 59, the tip end pressing portion 61a of the push rod 61 is further retreated from the lid member standby portion 59 toward the arrow Q side.

Reference numeral 81 denotes a side handle, 82 a lower handle, and the lower handle 82 is provided with a switch 83 for operating the changeover valve 73.

To explain how to use this inoculation machine, first, the opening area of the bacteria extraction port 13 is adjusted using the opening area adjusting device 9. That is, the thumbscrew 94 is loosened, and the overlapping area between the strip plate 91 and the bacteria extraction port 13 is adjusted by pinching the operating part 92 and moving it in the left-right rotation direction, and then the thumbscrew 94 is tightened. Then, with the air cylinder 71 contracted as shown in FIG. , 10... are lined up in a row (in this example, each lid material is continuous by making a cut on the outer periphery leaving a part of the center part),
A weight 57 is placed at the rear end of the row of lid materials. In this state, one lid 10 at the tip of the lid row protrudes forward (in the direction of arrow P) from the outlet 4a of the lid holding member 4. Next, when the switch 83 is operated to extend the air cylinder 71, the rotary blades 32 and 33 of the bacteria filling device 3 are rotated, allowing the bacteria to be taken out from the bacteria extraction port 13 provided on the lower side wall of the bacteria hopper 1 into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2. At the same time, one lid material 10 is supplied into the lid material standby section 59 by the slide rod 54 of the lid material supply device 5, and the inoculation is completed. Preparation is complete (state shown in Figure 4). At this time, the cultured bacteria A located near the bottom of the bacteria hopper 1 are transported to each of the lower rotary blades 33, 33...
If the cultured bacteria A is nodular or has a high viscosity, or if the fibers of the sawdust that will become the culture soil for the seed bacteria are long. Even in the case of a certain amount of bacteria, it becomes possible to accurately fill a certain amount of cultured bacteria Aa into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2. In addition, the lid material standby section 5
The lid material 10 supplied into the lid material standby section 59
It is held in a stable posture by the frictional force with the inner surface. To implant the cultured bacteria into the transplant hole C, operate the switch 83 with the bacteria outlet 21 applied to the entrance of the transplant hole C, and press the air cylinder 71.
When the push rod 61 is moved in the direction of the arrow P, the lid member 10 waiting in the lid member standby section 59 is moved by the pushing rod 61a at its tip end.
and a certain amount of cultured bacteria Aa filled in the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2 are simultaneously pressed, and the cultured bacteria Aa and the cover material 10 are subsequently press-fitted into the transplant hole C, completing the inoculation work. (state shown in Figure 7). In this way, when the cultured bacteria is transplanted (when the air cylinder is contracted), the rotor blades 32 and 33 do not rotate, and the lower rotor blade 3
A lid-shaped portion 33 provided on one of 3, 33...
a is located so as to block the bacteria extraction port 13, and therefore, when the push rod 61 moves forward, the cultured bacteria Aa filled in the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2 is transferred to the bacteria hopper 1.
Without being pushed back to the side, it becomes possible to accurately implant a certain amount of cultured bacteria Aa into the transplant hole C. In the complete inoculation state shown in Fig. 7, a certain amount of cultured bacteria Aa is pushed deep into the transplant hole C.
Since the entrance of the transplant hole C is closed with the lid material 10,
The cultured bacteria Aa implanted in the transplant hole C
No spillage from the inside to the outside. Also, the seventh
When the air cylinder 71 is extended by operating the switch 83 from the state in which the inoculation is completed as shown in the figure, a certain amount of cultured bacteria Aa is automatically filled into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber 2, and at the same time the lid material is on standby. The next piece of lid material 10 is supplied to the section 59, and preparation for the next inoculation is completed. In this manner, with this inoculation machine, by simply operating a switch, inoculation and lid closing operations can be performed in sequence and automatically at the same time.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above description, the inoculation machine of the present invention can automatically inoculate a certain amount of cultured bacteria Aa into the transplant hole C by simply operating the operating device 6.
This has the effect that the inoculation work can be done easily and in a short time.

Further, according to the present invention, the bacteria filling device 3 rotates the rotor blade 33 in the bacteria pushing direction.
The leading surface of the rotor blade 3 is installed in an acute angle with respect to the tangential direction of the inner circumferential surface of the bacteria hopper 1.
By rotating the bacteria hopper 3, the cultured bacteria A in the bacteria hopper 1 can be pressed outward in the horizontal circumferential direction.
Even if the cultured bacteria housed inside is in the form of nodules or has a high viscosity, or the sawdust fibers for culturing the seed bacteria are long and the conditions are such that it is difficult for the cultured bacteria to pass through the bacteria outlet 13 smoothly, The cultured bacteria can be forcibly pushed into the bacteria quantitative storage chamber in a fixed amount at a time, and the effect is that a fixed amount of cultured bacteria can always be accurately filled into the transplant hole of the tree.
