Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for scraping a mushroom cultivation base, and more particularly to a device for scraping a spent cultivation base in a mushroom cultivation bottle in mushroom artificial cultivation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional scraping member for scraping a mushroom based material is disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 57-9323. FIG. 16 shows a scraping member (hereinafter simply referred to as “scraping member”) 100 for scraping mushrooms based on cultivation.
As shown in FIG.
The rake blade 104 is provided, and the tip 106 of the upper end horizontal portion is smoothly processed to be rounded. In the scraping member 100, a lower end horizontal portion 110 is rotatably inserted around a shaft line of the lower end horizontal portion 110 in a drive shaft body 108 that rotates about a vertical axis, and is also attached to the drive shaft body 108. Elastic spring member 1
12, the upper end horizontal portion 102 is always biased toward the inner wall of the cultivation bottle 114.

Next, the operation of the mushroom-based scraping device having the above-mentioned conventional scraping member will be described with reference to FIG. The upper end horizontal portion 102 of the scraping member 100
Is a funnel-shaped bottle mouthpiece 11 as shown in FIG.
It is located in the lower cylindrical region A of 6 and is stationary.
With the cultivation bottle 114 inverted, its bottle mouth 118 is mounted inside the cylindrical lower portion of the bottle mouth receiver 116. In this state, the inner wall surface of the bottle mouth 118 of the cultivation bottle 114 is
It is connected to the inner wall surface of the cylindrical lower part of. Subsequently, the scraping member 100 starts to rotate, and at the same time, the scraping member 100
Alternatively, at least one of the cultivation bottles 114 starts moving vertically. That is, the relative scraping member 100
Or the cultivation bottle 114 descends. As a result, the upper end horizontal portion 102 of the scraping member 100 enters the cultivation bottle 114 while rotating, and scrapes the used mushroom culture medium (culture medium 120) filled in the culture bottle 114 with the scraping blade portion 1.
While being cut and crushed at 04, it is moved until it comes into contact with the inner bottom surface of the cultivation bottle 114. After this, the scraping member 10
0 and cultivation bottle 114 are moved in the opposite directions so as to be separated from each other,
The original positional relationship (positional relationship in which the upper end horizontal portion 102 is within the area A) is reached and the operation is stopped. At the same time, the scraping member 1
The rotation of 00 also stops.

In the above-mentioned one cycle, the culture medium 120 crushed by the scraping member 100 is naturally discharged downward from the bottle mouth 118 of the cultivation bottle 114 in the inverted state and discharged, and is smooth so as to be rounded. The upper end horizontal portion tip 106 of the cut-out member 100 processed in the above-described manner moves up and down in the cultivation bottle 114 while rotating while being constantly in contact with the inner wall surface of the cultivation bottle 114 by the elastic spring member 112, and thus the culture adhered to the inner wall surface. The base 120 can be swept away.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional scraping device equipped with a scraping member, depending on the condition of the used mushroom cultivation base (hereinafter, also referred to as "mushroom scrap cultivation base"), the mushroom scrap cultivation base is used. There was a problem that it could not be properly scraped. Mushroom waste culture medium is obtained after the nutrients have been absorbed by mushrooms from a culture medium suitably adjusted for cultivating mushrooms. Therefore, there are variations in the degree of dryness and the morphology of mushroom hyphae grown. In order to automatically and sequentially perform the work of scraping out the mushroom waste culture medium, it is necessary to be able to appropriately cope with the variation of the mushroom waste culture medium, but the above conventional scraping device may not be able to sufficiently cope with it. It was

That is, in the above-mentioned conventional scraping device,
The scraping member 100 is urged by the elastic spring member 112 so that the turning radius of the tip (upper end horizontal portion 102) of the scraping member 100 is always widened with respect to the vertical axis (rotational axis) of the drive shaft body 108. Upper horizontal part 102 (shaking blade part 104)
When the turning radius is increased, it becomes impossible to generate high crushing force due to the moment with the same driving power. When the mushroom waste culture medium (culture medium 120) was dry, the rake blade portion 104 could not sufficiently push the culture medium 120, and the culture medium 120 could not be crushed and scraped out. Further, in many cases, the culture medium 120 could not be scraped out only by turning (co-rotating) together with the rake blade portion 104.

Further, since the angle of the scraping member 100 is determined by the urging force of the elastic spring member 112 and the pressure of the reaction with the culture base 120, the culture base 1 is attached to the upper end horizontal portion 102.
According to the pressure applied from 20, the scraping member 100 swings (rotates) around the lower end horizontal portion 110. That is, the position of the center of gravity of the scraping member 100 is determined by the drive shaft 10
8 is not on the axis of rotation, and the scraping member 10
Due to the rotational movement around the lower end horizontal portion 110 of 0, the driving shaft body 108 fluctuates at a position eccentric from the rotation axis. Therefore, the rotational balance of the scraping member 100 becomes poor.

In order to reduce the time required for the scraping work, it is necessary to increase the speed of the contacting / separating movement of the scraping member 100 and the cultivation bottle 114 and to increase the number of rotations of the scraping member 100. However, as described above, the scraping member 10
Since the rotational balance of 0 is bad, if the rotation speed is increased too much, an unnecessary lateral force is applied to the bearing and the like of the drive shaft body 108, causing a failure. Therefore, the rotation speed of the scraping member 100 cannot be increased. In addition, if the rotation speed cannot be increased, the contact speed of the upper end horizontal portion 102 to the culture medium 120 becomes low, and the culture medium 120 cannot be scraped well, and the culture medium 120 is put together with the scraping member 100 in the cultivation bottle 114. It has rotated to
The scraping work cannot be done.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to be able to reliably scrape out a mushroom cultivation base in a mushroom cultivation bottle, the shape of the scraping member being simple, and the device failure. It is to provide a scraping device of mushroom cultivation that can be prevented.

[0010]

The present invention has the following constitution in order to solve the above problems. That is, the mushroom cultivating device according to the present invention, the mushroom cultivation bottle stored in the container is inverted so that the bottle mouth is directed downward, and is held in an inverted state. Inserting a scraping member rotating to each, moving the mushroom cultivation bottle and the scraping member relatively up and down, in a scraping device of a mushroom cultivation base for scraping a mushroom cultivation base, the plurality of scraping members, of the scraping member, By moving the bearing base and a bearing base that supports and supports the shaft so as to be rotatable about an axis, the position of the scraping member in the mushroom cultivation bottle is displaced in a direction intersecting the axis of the scraping member. And a moving driving means for driving.

The axis of the scraping member is arranged so as to be parallel to the axis of the inverted mushroom cultivation bottle, and the movement driving means is at least orthogonal to the axis of the inverted mushroom cultivation bottle. By moving the bearing base in one direction within a predetermined range, it is possible to reliably and appropriately scrape out the mushroom culture base with a simple movement drive mechanism.

Further, the moving drive means causes the bearing base portion to make a non-rotating swivel motion within a plane orthogonal to the axis of the scraping member, whereby the mushroom culture base can be scraped out more efficiently and reliably.

Further, a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles housed in the container are held together with the container so as to be able to be reversed, and a reversing table axially reversibly attached to a base body and a container for holding the reversing table are held. One end is rotatably pivoted on one side, which is a side that rotates downward when the reversal is started, and the other end is rotated so as to be close to the holding surface. In this case, the plurality of mushroom cultivating bottles are held in contact with the bottle mouth side of the mushroom cultivating bottle so as to be sandwiched between the plurality of mushroom cultivating bottles and the holding surface, and in a direction parallel to the holding surface. A movable member provided in a predetermined range to align the axis of the mushroom cultivation bottle with the axis of the scraping member, a pressing member that can be displaced together with a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles, and the base formed in an arc shape. It is fixed to the A mushroom cultivation bottle reversing device housed in a container that is in contact with the other end of the member and has an arc-shaped guide member that guides and regulates the pressing member in the direction of pressing the mushroom cultivation bottles. Thus, the scraping member can be suitably inserted into a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles with a simple structure.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of a mushroom cultivation device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. (First Embodiment) A first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a side view for explaining an embodiment of a mushroom cultivating-based scraping device system including a scraping device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the embodiment of FIG. 1 with the conveyor carrying device omitted. It is a front view which shows the state seen from the side. 3 is a side view showing a main part of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a front view thereof. Further, FIG. 5 is a sectional view for explaining the operation of the scraping member according to the present invention.

Scraping device 1 for mushroom culture according to the present invention
2 is a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 1 stored in a container 16
5 is inverted and held in an inverted state so that the bottle mouth faces downward, and a rotating scraping member 72 is inserted into each of the mushroom cultivation bottles, and the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 and the scraping member 72 are relatively moved. It moves up and down to scrape the mushroom culture. The container 16 according to this embodiment is a typical container used for artificial cultivation of mushrooms, and can store 16 mushroom cultivation bottles 15 in 4 rows × 4 rows. Further, a brim is formed all around the upper end of the container 16.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a base frame, and the mushroom frame scraping device 12 according to the present invention is fixed to the lower part of the base frame 10. A reversing device 14 is supported above it so as to be vertically movable along the upright pillar guide 11. In addition, a container 1 in which a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 are housed beside the reversing device 14.
A conveyor carrying device 17 for carrying 6 is arranged.
The container 16 transported to a predetermined position of the conveyor transport device 17 is fed to and discharged from the reversing device 14 by the reciprocating device 18 provided on the side of the conveyor transport device 17 via the reciprocating member 18a.

As shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4, reference numeral 70 denotes a bearing base, which supports and supports a plurality of scraping members 72 so as to be rotatable about the axis of the scraping members 72. Reference numeral 80 denotes a rotary drive motor, which is connected to a gear device provided on the bearing base 70 via a drive sprocket 81 and a chain 82, and serves as a rotary drive device that rotates a plurality of scraping members 72. Each scraping member 72 is integrally provided coaxially with the gear 84 in a state of protruding upward from the end surface (upper surface) of the gear 84.

A driven sprocket 83 is rotatably attached to the center of the bearing base 70, and a drive gear 85 is coaxially fixed thereto. The drive gear 85 directly meshes with the gear 84 integrally provided with the scraping member 72, or the gear 8 separated via the gear 84 and the intermediate gear 86.
4 is arranged so that rotational power can be transmitted. The gear 84, the drive gear 85, and the intermediate gear 86 as described above constitute the gear device. In addition, each gear is rotatably and suitably attached to the bearing base 70 by a bearing 88. Therefore, the power of the rotary drive motor 80 is transmitted to the gear device by the chain 82 wound around the drive sprocket 81 and the driven sprocket, and the plurality of scraping members 72 can rotate about the axis. The rotation driving of the scraping member 72 is not limited to the above gear device, and it is needless to say that another motion driving mechanism such as a belt can be used.

Next, by moving the bearing base 70,
An embodiment of the movement driving means for displacing the position of the scraping member 72 in the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 in the direction intersecting the axis of the scraping member 72 will be described. The bearing base portion 70 of the present embodiment is mounted so as to be movable in the horizontal direction (left and right direction in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3) with respect to the base frame 10 that constitutes the base. That is, on the lower surface of the bearing base 70, a rod 75 is horizontally fixed and fixed.
5 is inserted into the rod receiving member 90 fixed to the base frame 10 so as to be capable of reciprocating (sliding) in the longitudinal direction (hereinafter, referred to as “X direction”).

Reference numeral 76 denotes a cylinder device, which is a bearing base 70.
Is a drive device of a movement drive means for moving the. In the present embodiment, the rod 76 a (two) side of the cylinder device 76 is fixed to the base frame 10 via the mounting portion 94, and the cylinder side is fixed to the bearing base 70. As the cylinder device 76 contracts, the bearing base 70 moves to the left side in the drawing, and the cylinder device 7
When 6 extends, the bearing base 70 moves to the right in the drawing. As a result, the scraping member 72
Can be displaced (moved) in the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 in the direction intersecting the axis of the scraping member 72 (the direction orthogonal to this embodiment). The movement driving means according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and it goes without saying that another reciprocating mechanism can be used as appropriate.

The rod receiving member 90 is a rod 75.
It is provided so as to be movable also in the Y direction along a fixed rod 92 which is arranged in a horizontal direction (hereinafter, referred to as “Y direction”) orthogonal to and fixed to the base frame 10. Sit down,
The fixed rod 92 is inserted through an insertion hole that penetrates the rod receiving member 90 in the Y direction. Since the fixed rod 92 of the present embodiment is provided only for adjusting the position of the bearing base 70 in the Y direction, the scraping work can be performed with the rod receiving member 90 fixed to the fixed rod 92. Done. However, if the rod receiving member 90 is also driven in the Y direction in addition to the reciprocating drive in the X direction, the scraping member 72 can be moved in the two-dimensional direction, and the scraping efficiency can be improved.

The scraping member 72 of this embodiment is arranged so that its axis is parallel to the axis of the inverted mushroom cultivation bottle 15. Then, in the present embodiment, as described above, the movement driving means uses the inverted mushroom cultivation bottle 15
At least one direction (X direction) orthogonal to the axis of
The bearing base 70 is configured to move within a predetermined range. For this reason, although it is a simple movement drive mechanism, it is possible to reliably and suitably scrape out the mushroom culture substrate. Also,
The scraping member 72 of the present embodiment is composed of a rod-shaped shaft body 73 and a scraping blade portion 74 protruding at one end of the shaft body in one direction perpendicular to the axis. According to this, the shape of the scraping member 72 is simple and can be easily manufactured.

Reference numeral 77 is a receiving member, which is in the shape of a shallow box and serves as a tray for temporarily receiving the mushroom culture medium scraped from the mushroom cultivation bottle 15. Also, 7
Denoted at 8 is a discharge blade, which is attached to the lower portion of the shaft body 73 of the scraping member 72, rotates with the rotation of the scraping member 72, and receives the mushroom culture base received by the receiving member 77.
7 acts to discharge to the outside.

According to the scraping device 12, by moving the bearing base 70, the position of the scraping member 72 in the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 can be displaced in the direction intersecting the axis of the scraping member 72. Therefore, the mushroom culture medium at all positions in the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 can be suitably crushed and scraped out. At this time, the turning radius of the scraping blade 74 does not change, and it is possible to reliably scrape the mushroom culture base with a suitable crushing force. The problem that the crushing force is reduced due to the large turning radius of the scraping blade portion as in the past has been solved. Scraping device 1 according to the present embodiment
2, the rotation (rotation) A about the axis of the scraping member 72, the relative up and down movement B, as shown in FIG.
The horizontal movement C allows the mushroom medium to be reliably and suitably scraped out. In this embodiment, the reversing device 14 (mushroom cultivation bottle 15) moves up and down with respect to the scraping device 12. Further, the horizontal movement C of the scraping member 72 causes the position of the axis line of the scraping member 72 to deviate from the center of the bottle mouth of the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 to one as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The opening of the mushroom grows larger, and the scraped mushroom medium is likely to fall. This effect is achieved by the scraping member 7
By the reciprocating horizontal movement C of 2, the efficiency of the scraping work can be continuously improved over the entire circumference, and since the turning radius of the scraping blade portion 74 does not become large, the bottle mouth of the conventional funnel shape can be obtained. The scraping member 72 can be suitably put in and taken out without requiring the receiver 116 (see FIG. 17). Therefore, the configuration of the device can be simplified.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the reversing device for the mushroom cultivation bottle stored in the container will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of a mushroom cultivation base scraping device system including a mushroom cultivation bottle reversing device (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “reversing device”) housed in a container according to the present invention. 2 is a front view showing the embodiment of FIG. 1 as viewed from the side of the conveyor carrying device with the conveyor carrying device omitted. 6 and 7
FIG. 4 is a side view showing an operating state of the main part of the present invention.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a base member, which is mounted on the column guide 11 so as to be vertically movable via a saddle 13a fixed to the base member 13. A reversing table 20 described later is provided so as to be reversed with respect to the base member 13. For this reason, the reversing table 20 has a structure including the base frame 10, the pillar guide 11 and the base member 13 as a base. As shown in FIG. 2, the base member 13 is composed of a pair of left and right plate portions, a member connecting the pair of plate portions, the saddle 13a, and the like.

The base member 13 is vertically driven by an elevating device 60 which is provided at the upper part and has a suspension member for suspending the base member 13 as a component. The suspension member of this embodiment is two chains 62, and the base member 13 is fixed to one end of the chain 62 and is hung around two sprockets 64 arranged at the same height as shown in FIG. And a weight 66 is fixed to the other end. This sprocket 6
The shaft to which 4 is fixed is rotationally driven by a drive motor, and the drive force can vertically move the base member 13 and the reversing table 20 mounted on the base member 13. The lifting device 60 is not limited to the present embodiment, and it goes without saying that, for example, a cylinder device, a screw drive device, or the like can be used.

Reference numeral 20 denotes an inversion table, which can hold a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 housed in a container 16 together with the container 16 and can be inverted, and can be inverted to a base member 13 forming a part of the base. It is worn. Reference numeral 22 is a rotary shaft, and the reversing table 20 is
It is rotatably provided so that it can be inverted by 0 degrees. The rotating shaft 22 is fixed to the reversing table 20 so as not to rotate. Therefore, the reversing base 20 rotates together with the rotation shaft 22 about its axis (axis center). In the present embodiment, the position of the rotating shaft 22, which is the position where the reversing table 20 is pivotally attached to the base member 13, is reversed more than the position corresponding to the center of the container 16 held by the reversing table 20. It is displaced to one side 21 of the table 20.

As described above, since the position of the rotating shaft 22 is displaced from the center, when the conveyor 16 conveys the container 16 in which a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles are stored, the conveyor 16 moves. The reversing table 20 can be brought close to the transfer device 17. Then, the reversing table 20 is reversed so that the container 16 in which a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles are housed is located at a position that is preferably slightly separated from the conveyor transport device 17.
It can be suitably moved up. That is, the horizontal position of the reversing table 20 can be suitably displaced depending on when the container 16 is carried in and the work is performed on the cultivation bottle 15.

The reversing table 20 is used when the container 16 is carried in and when the work is performed on the cultivation bottle 15 (in this embodiment, the work of removing the mushroom cultivation base).
The center of gravity is deviated with respect to the rotation shaft 22 that is the rotation center of the. For this reason, when the container 16 is carried in, by providing the base member 13 with a support portion that supports the other side 23 of the reversing table 20, the reversing table 20 can be favorably supported in a stable state. . Further, when the mushroom cultivating material is scraped out and is reversed, the base member 13 is provided with a receiving portion 42 (see FIG. 7) that receives and supports the other end portion 33 of the pressing member 30 described later. This allows the inversion table 20 to be favorably received and supported in the inverted state.

Further, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 22 is positioned directly below the holding surface 24 with the holding surface 24 of the reversing table 20 holding the container 16 facing upward. Therefore, the turning (turning) radius of the reversing table 20 can be reduced. Further, in order to reduce the turning radius of the reversing table 20, it is not possible to obtain the effect of the displacement of the rotating shaft 22 as described above, but the center of the container 16 held on the reversing table 20 (the container 16 in FIG. The rotating shaft 22 may be provided at a position corresponding to the center of the horizontal direction of the. Furthermore, in order to minimize the turning radius of the reversing table 20 holding the container 16, the container 1 held on the reversing table 20 is required.
The rotation shaft 22 may be provided at a position corresponding to the center of 6 and at a half height position of the sum of the thickness of the reversing table 22 and the height of the mushroom cultivation bottle held thereon.

Next, one embodiment of the inversion drive means of the inversion table 20 will be described. 68 is a drive motor,
In this embodiment, the reversing table 20 is fixed to the back surface, which is the surface opposite to the holding surface 24. Reference numeral 48 is a fixed gear, which is fixed to the base member 13 so as not to rotate. The pinion gear 68a of the drive motor 68 meshes with the fixed gear 48. (Since the fixed gear 48 has a larger diameter than the pinion gear 68a, the rotation of the drive motor 68 is appropriately reduced.) Therefore, the rotation of the drive motor 68 drives the fixed gear 48 around the fixed gear 48. The reversing table 20 can be suitably rotated via the motor 68. The reversing driving means is not limited to this embodiment, and various driving means can be appropriately adopted. For example, the drive motor 68 is immovably fixed to the base member 13, and the fixed gear 48 is fixed to the rotary shaft 2.
Alternatively, the reversing table 20 may be fixed coaxially with the reversing table 20, and the reversing table 22 may be rotated together with the fixed gear 48.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a pressing member, which is one end portion 31 on the upper side of the holding surface 24 on which the container 16 of the reversing table 20 is held and on the one side 21 which is a side which rotates downward when the reversal is started. Is rotatably attached to the shaft. This pressing member 3
According to 0, when the other end portion 33 is rotated so as to be close to the holding surface 24, it abuts on the bottle mouth side of the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15, and the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 are held on the holding surface. It can be pressed so as to be sandwiched between 24 and and held.

The pressing member 30 is composed of a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15.
The shape of the mushroom cultivating bottles 15 in four rows is formed in a fence-like or lattice-like frame as shown in FIG. Four openings are formed so that the bottle mouth fits. In addition, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, a plate-like member having a tapered portion 30a for guiding the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 to fit into the bottle mouth and an opening 30b having an equivalent diameter corresponding to each bottle mouth. But it's okay. Further, on both sides of the other end portion 33 of the pressing member 30, there are formed guided end portions 34 that abut and guide an arc-shaped guide member 40 described later. A roller may be used for the guided end portion 34 in order to improve slidability with respect to the arc-shaped guide member 40. Further, on both sides of the pressing member 30, there are formed guided frame portions 35 which are brought into contact with and guided by a release guide member 50 described later.

Reference numeral 40 denotes an arcuate guide member, which is formed in an arcuate shape and is fixed to the base member 13, and when the reversing table 20 is reversed, the other end 33 side of the holding member 30 (in this embodiment, the guided end). Part 34), and the pressing member 30 is guided and regulated in the direction of pressing the mushroom cultivation bottles 15. The arc, which is the guide surface of the arc-shaped guide member 40, is a part of a circle centered on the rotary shaft 22. The arc-shaped guide member 40 is provided in a strip shape on the inner surface of each of the pair of base members 13. A position where one end 31 of the pressing member 30 is attached to the shaft, and a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 1 housed in the container 16 pressed by the pressing member 30.
From the positional relationship of 5, the pressing member 30 is the mushroom cultivation bottle 15
Is guided in the direction of closing, which is the direction of holding. Also,
Even when the reversing table 20 returns from the inverted position to the original position, the arcuate guide member 40 suitably guides the pressing member 30 in the closing direction.

Since the pressing member 30 is guided in this manner, the pressing member 30 is gradually rotated and pressed from the mushroom cultivation bottle stored in the back side of the container 16 (one side 21 of the inversion table 20). Will be retained. By rotating the pressing member 30, each mushroom cultivation bottle 15 is appropriately moved,
The positions of the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 are sequentially regulated (corrected). This correcting action is further suitably performed in combination with the reversing movement in which the reversing table 20 is sequentially inclined. Therefore, the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 can be preferably held at predetermined positions in order. That is, it is possible to smoothly hold a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles between the reversing table and the pressing member without exerting an excessive force. In this respect, in the conventional reversing device, since the pressing member is operated in parallel, a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles are pressed at the same time, and an unreasonable force acts to cause a trouble. Further, the pressing member 30 sequentially presses the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 at the same time when the reversing table 20 starts reversing, and the reversing operation and the holding operation can be performed at the same time.
Work efficiency can be improved. Further, the structure can be simplified, such as not requiring a mechanism for moving the pressing member in parallel like the conventional reversing device. With one inversion drive,
The holding member 30 can also be opened and closed, and only one drive unit is required.

A release guide member 50 is fixed to the base member 13, and the holding surface 24 of the reversing table 20 is attached to the container 1.
When the pressing member 6 is rotated so as to face upward for being carried in, the pressing member 30 comes into contact with the lower surface of the pressing member 30 on the side of the other end portion 33, and the other end portion 33 of the pressing member 30 is held by the holding surface 24. The pressing member 30 is rotated so as to be separated from. The release guide member 50 of the present embodiment is arranged immediately above the position corresponding to the center of the inversion table 20, and the holding member 30 is flipped up so that the container 16 storing the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 has the holding surface 24. Pressing member 30 so that it can be suitably supplied upward
Guide in the direction to open.

In this embodiment, when the reversing table 20 is returned from the inverted position to the original position, if it is rotated in the clockwise direction in the drawing a little more than in the state shown in FIG. The guide frame portion 35 contacts the release guide member 50. When the reversing base 20 further rotates in the clockwise direction, the guided end portion 34 projects from the release guide member 50, the guided frame portion 35 abuts on the release guide member 50, and the pressing member 30 rotates the rotation base 30. It is guided so as to be rotated in the counterclockwise direction relative to. This allows
The pressing member 30 is opened with respect to the reversing table 20.
Therefore, according to the release guide member 50, the holding by the pressing member 30 on the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 can be automatically and suitably released with a very simple configuration. A roller may be used as the release guide member 50 in order to improve the slipperiness with respect to the guided frame portion 35.

Reference numeral 52 is an arc-shaped guide member for releasing,
The pressing member can be suitably guided together with the arc-shaped guide member 40 while preventing the pressing member 30 from swinging. In particular, when the reversing table 20 returns from the inverted position to the original position, the guided end portion 34 is guided to hold the pressing member 30.

The crank member 94 has an upper shaft 94a that is rotatably mounted on the bearing base 70, a lower shaft 94b that is mounted on the base frame 10, and an axis line between the upper shaft 94a and the lower shaft 94b at predetermined intervals. And a crank arm portion 94c provided between them so as to be positioned in parallel and fixed.
And is formed into a crank shape as a whole.

In the second embodiment, the movement driving means 93 can cause the bearing base 70 to perform a stable non-rotating turning motion by the four crank members 94 as shown in FIG. Each of the four crank members 94 has an upper shaft 94
A sprocket 97 is fixed to a. The sprocket 97 is also fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 96 installed on the bearing base 70. A chain is wound around the above five sprockets 97. As a result, by driving the drive motor 96, each upper shaft 9
4a is synchronously rotated, and the bearing base 70 makes a turning motion relative to the fixed base frame 10 so as not to rotate.

According to the movement driving means 93 for generating such a non-rotating swivel motion, the scraping member 92 pivotally attached to the bearing base 70 and rotating about the axis is rotated by the non-rotating swivel motion of the bearing base 70 itself. It is possible to make a suitable turning movement. Therefore, the scraping member 92 can be suitably moved over the entire area of the mushroom cultivation bottle 15, and the mushroom cultivation base can be scraped out more efficiently and reliably. That is, since the scraping member 92 makes a rotating motion (revolutionary motion) and a rotating motion, the scraping member 92 can sequentially come into contact with the entire mushroom culture medium in the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 and scrape it appropriately.

In addition, the one end 31 is rotatably attached to the pin portion 31a of the elongated hole 2
It is pivotally attached to 7a. Therefore, the other end portion 33 has the holding surface 2
4, when contacted with the bottle mouth side of a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 when rotated so as to hold the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 with the holding surface 24. You can hold it down.

Since the pressing member 30 is provided on the reversing table 20 as described above, as shown in FIG.
When the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 stored in 6 are reversed, the holding member 30 moves to the right side (arrow direction S) in the drawing together with the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15. This is a container 16 containing a plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15.
However, when it is reversed, it slides in the arrow direction S due to its own weight. That is, the container 16 automatically slides on the holding surface 24 due to the action of gravity, and
It moves so as to approach the stopper portion 25, which is the back side of 0. Thereby, on each axis of the plurality of scraping members 92,
In order to align the corresponding axes of the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15, the pressing member 30 is provided together with the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15.
Can be displaced. Therefore, the plurality of scraping members 92 can be suitably inserted into the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 with a simple structure. The pressing member 30 has a pin portion 31a.
Is movably linked to the long hole 27a. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, when a predetermined force is applied, the pressing member 30 can move in the direction of the arrow (SB) along with the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 15 in the drawing.

Next, with reference to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, a process in which the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 moves with the movement of the scraping member 92 and the mushroom culture medium is scraped will be described.

Before the scraping member 92 is inserted into the mushroom cultivating bottle 15, the pressing member 30 moves so that the axis line (center) of the mushroom cultivating bottle 15 and the axis line of the scraping member 92 are vertically continuous as described above. Is adapted to. Therefore, the shaving blade portion 92a having a width smaller than the inner diameter of the mushroom cultivating bottle 15 but corresponding to the inner diameter thereof can suitably enter the mushroom cultivating bottle 15. At this time, the scraping member 92
Is moved to a predetermined turning position (right side in the drawing of FIG. 14B) via the bearing base 70 by the movement driving means 93. That is, the scraping member 92 is provided so as to swivel on a predetermined swiveling orbit (arrow R) via the bearing base 70, and is moved to the position of the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 by the control means (not shown) of the movement driving means 93. It is controlled so that it can be stopped appropriately.

When the scraping member 92 is inserted into the mushroom cultivating bottle 15 and rotates R and rotates about the axis, the shaving blade 92a moves inside the mushroom cultivating bottle 15 as shown in FIG. 14 (b). Mushroom cultivation bottle 15 that abuts the wall
Is moved to the left side in the drawing of FIG. The position of the mushroom cultivation bottle 15 moved by the turning of the scraping member 92 is shown by a two-dot chain line. When the scraping member 92 is moved in this state, the mushroom cultivating bottle 15 is shown in FIG.
Although it may swing to the right in the drawing of 4 (b), it basically stays at the position indicated by the chain double-dashed line, and the mushroom medium is sequentially scraped out. The movement of the scraping member 92, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, rotates about an axis and makes a turning motion.
And it moves up and down. The structure for rotating each of the scraping members 92 may be provided, for example, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. Further, the shaving blade portion 92a of the second embodiment is bulged to both sides in order to balance, and a bulging piece portion that can enter the bottom portion of the mushroom cultivating bottle 15 is formed at the upper corner of one end. .

According to the second embodiment described above, since the shaving blade portion 92a makes an eccentric swivel motion with respect to the center of the circular cross section of the mushroom cultivating bottle 15, the mushroom cultivating bottle 15 moves together with the shaving blade portion 92a. It is hard to turn. Therefore, the crushing effect of the rake blade portion 92a on the mushroom culture medium does not decrease,
Efficiently scrape out the mushroom culture. Also, the first
Similar to the embodiment, the axis of the scraping member 92 is eccentric with respect to the center of the circular cross section of the mushroom cultivation bottle 15, so that the scraped mushroom cultivation base is suitably dropped and discharged.
