The mushroom fungus-implantable device 2 thus constructed
When the raw wood gripping and rotating device 2 grips the raw wood and moves to the position shown in FIG. 1, the telescopic cylinder device 36 has been shortened earlier than this, and the front side holding claw 34a
Is in a state of being retracted upward, so that the raw wood gripping and rotating device 2 is allowed to move backward even when gripping the raw wood, and reaches the position of the raw wood gripping and rotating device 2 in FIG.

In connection with the log rotation device 2 having reached the position shown in FIG. 1, the telescopic cylinder device 36 is extended, and the front clamping claw 34a is lowered to the state shown in FIG.
After this descent, the telescopic cylinder device 37 with the lock mechanism, which has been shortened in the initial state, is in a telescopic state,
And the telescopic cylinder device 38 which has been shortened in the initial state.
Is operated to move the rear-side holding claw 34b forward. This movement causes the chain 32 to move around the guide wheels 31, 31 and displaces the front holding claws 34a rearward symmetrically with those on the rear side.

Therefore, the front and rear holding claws 34a and 34b are shown in FIG. 5 in which the outer periphery of the log corresponding to each saddle table 30 of the log held by the log rotation device 2 under the condition that the saddle table 30 is freely movable back and forth. As shown in the figure, the cutting tool 4 of the drill 39 of each saddle base 30 is in a completely sandwiched state.
5 and the center of the raw wood w at the saddle stand 30 coincide with each other at the same front-back direction f1 position. That is, even if the log is bent, the cutting tool 45 of each drill 39 is located directly above the center position of the log.

When the front and rear holding claws 34a and 34b are completely sandwiched, the telescopic cylinder device 38 with the lock mechanism holds the telescopic state at that time and fixes the saddle table 30 at that position. . After this fixed state is established, the telescopic cylinder device 38 and the telescopic cylinder device 36
Is shortened, so that the front and rear clamping claws 34
a, 34b are separated from the log in the front and rear direction, and the front holding claws 34;
a is retracted upward.

Thereafter, the drill 39 is lowered by the extension operation of the telescopic cylinder device 40 for each saddle table 30, and the drill 39 is lowered.
After the blade 45 comes into contact with the surface of the raw wood w, the blade 45
Is moved downward by a predetermined dimension by an appropriate feeding mechanism, and a hole h (see FIG. 6) having a predetermined depth is formed on the surface of the raw wood w. Thereafter, the telescopic cylinder device 40 is shortened, and the drill 39 is returned to the original state.

When the drill 39 returns, the telescopic cylinder device 17 is shortened, and the log holding / rotating device 2 has a fixed size x.
(See FIG. 5), whereby the tip of the cylindrical frame 46 of each frame pushing device 41 is positioned directly above the center of the log w. Subsequently, the telescopic cylinder device 47 is extended, and the tip of the cylindrical frame 46 is pressed just above the hole h formed in the surface of the raw wood w as shown in FIG.

One of the operations of the drill 39 and the shortening operation of the telescopic cylinder device 17 is performed by the transport device 58.
But mushroom coma s in a row in the upright posture in the thin state of the lower part and reaching the lower side end between the two round bars 52, 52
Is carried out one by one into the through holes 54a of the disk 54 rotated by the motor 53, and the insertion is repeated for each of the through holes 54a. Then, when the disk body 54 makes one rotation, the motor 53 stops, and the transport device 58 also temporarily stops.
In this stopped state, the through hole 54a and the through hole 55a are vertically opposed.

After the motor 53 is stopped and after the above-described extension operation of the telescopic cylinder device 47, the telescopic cylinder device 57 is operated to be shortened, and the blocking plate 56 is inserted into these through holes 54.
a, and after a certain period of time, the extension operation is performed again to position the blocking plate 56 between the through holes 54a and 55a. As a result, the mushroom fungus piece s in each of the through holes 54a falls into the through hole 55a immediately below the mushroom coma s.
Located relatively low within or within the transfer tube e.

Thereafter, compressed air is supplied to the upper portion of each through-hole 55a from a compressed air supply pipe (not shown) for an appropriate time.
As a result, each mushroom fungus piece s in the through hole 55a or the transfer pipe e is pushed by the air pressure behind, and is immediately transferred to the tip of the cylindrical frame 46 through the transfer pipe e, where the slit 46 is formed.
The position is held in the upright posture by the locking force due to the elastic deformation of the portion b.

When the supply of the compressed air is completed, the telescopic cylinder device 48 expands and the pressing body 49 is lowered, whereby the pressing body 49 divides the mushroom piece s into a locking force at the portion 46b. Is pushed into the hole h.

When this pushing movement is completed, each saddle table 3
The telescopic cylinder device 47 and the telescopic cylinder device 48 are shortened, and the pressing body 49 and the cylindrical frame 46 of each frame pushing device 41 return to the original state. Thus, the pushing process of the mushroom fungus piece s at the fixed gripping position of the raw wood w is completed.

In the operation of the pressing body 49, the fungus coma
Is a styrene-molded piece, the pressing body 49 is operated in a non-heated state. Therefore, when the mushroom fungus piece s is pushed into the hole h, the styrene layer b1 is not melted and maintains its elasticity. When the mushroom fungus piece s is pushed into the hole, it is pushed into the opening of the hole h in a compressed state. To prevent abrasion of the mushroom coma s during the breeding period of the fungus.

On the other hand, when the mushroom fungus piece s is a wax-molded piece, the pressing body 49 is energized by a heating device and is operated while being heated to, for example, about 130 to 160 ° C.
Accordingly, when the mushroom coma s is pushed and moved by the pressing body 49, the wax layer b2 is melted, and when the coma s is completely pushed into the hole h, the brazing layer b2 is strongly pushed by the pressing body 49. When the pressing body 49 is separated from the mushroom coma s by pressure, it is solidified by heat radiation,
The opening of the hole h is sealed with appropriate strength to prevent the mushroom fungus pieces s from being lost during the breeding period of the fungus.

Thereafter, the telescopic cylinder device 37 with the lock mechanism releases the locked state and performs a shortening operation to move the saddle table 30 to the initial position. In connection with this movement, the rotation driving device 24 of the log holding / rotating device 2 rotates to rotate the log w by a predetermined angle (for example, 45 degrees) based on information input to the control device in advance, and holds the position. .

Thereafter, as described above, the front and rear holding claws 34a and 34b pinch the log w to determine the position of the saddle table 30, and then the drill 39 and the frame pushing device 41 are operated. And push the mushroom fungus tops into the raw wood w,
Thereby, the pushing process of the mushroom fungus piece s at this gripping position of the raw wood w ends.

The pushing process of the mushroom fungus piece s is automatically and continuously performed until the raw wood w makes one rotation, and after the raw wood w makes one rotation, the telescopic cylinder device 26 operates to shorten the left and right. The gripping plates 21a and 21b are separated from each other, and the raw wood w gripped by the gripping plates 21a and 21b falls on the guide rod 59 (see FIG. 1) fixed on the base 4 and moves backward by gravity. It will slip down.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the mushroom fungus is implanted in the raw wood w only after the worker supplies the raw wood w to the raw wood centering device 2 and gives an operation command, and then the fungus-implanted process is completed. The operation of releasing the raw wood w to a predetermined position is automatically performed.

The structure of each part in the above embodiment is merely an example, and it is optional to substitute another means having the same function. The operation of each unit described above is also an example, and the order may be appropriately changed within a range that does not hinder the operation.

[0051]

According to the present invention, the mushroom fungus can be mechanically and efficiently implanted by pushing the fungus piece into the raw wood. There are a coma and a wax molding coma, and any of these can be processed by the same apparatus under conditions suitable for each.
