Description

Automatic cultivation medium for mushroom cultivation}

The present invention relates to an automatic input device for culture medium for mushroom cultivation, and more particularly, to an automatic input device for culture medium for mushroom cultivation capable of automatically supplying a bag storing a certain amount of culture medium for cultivation of mushrooms.

As a method of cultivating mushrooms, conventionally, it has been cultivated using rice straw or waste noodles, but this conventional method has a problem of low economical efficiency because it is a manual operation dependent on manpower and requires a lot of labor and low work efficiency and productivity.

As an improved mushroom cultivation method, there is a method of cultivating mushrooms in a culture medium for mushroom cultivation formed by mixing sawdust, corn songchi powder, bran powder, and rice bran powder, etc., after filling the culture medium in various types of molds. It is to grow mushrooms.

A method of cultivating mushrooms using such a culture medium has been proposed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1687890.

On the other hand, in order to transport the culture medium to the mushroom cultivation farm, a certain amount is stored and supplied. A device that stores a certain amount of the culture medium in a storage container such as a bag is made through an input device called a mouth bottle or mouth bag. Is losing.

As a prior art of such an input device, there is Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1608507, in which a plurality of containers are arranged on a turntable-type container holder, and the container holder rotates step by step at a predetermined angle. It is a structure that allows input and discharge of

However, the prior art has a problem in that the size of the entire input device is enlarged by the container holder in the form of a turntable, and the container to be used is said to be able to use a bottle or a plastic bag, but in the case of using a plastic bag, culture There is a problem that it is necessary to ensure uprightness in the process of introducing the culture medium, and there is a problem that the culture medium stored in the container is easily poured out during manufacture and movement because there is no means to prevent the container from collapsing in the process of moving while the culture medium is stored. If the culture medium is poured, there is a problem that productivity decreases because it must be restarted after cleaning.

In addition, in the prior art, since the process of inserting the container into the container holder is performed manually by the worker, labor costs are increased, and the efficiency of the worker by repetitive work is reduced.
