Conventionally, as a method of artificially cultivating mushrooms using a cultivator containing a nutrient source containing main ingredients such as sawdust and rice bran, the incubator is filled into a cultivation vessel and sterilized, and the mushrooms such as mushrooms such as enoki mushroom and maitake are filled in the cultivation vessel. After inoculating the spawn, the lid is closed by covering the inlet of the cultivation container, and the method is cultivated under industrial temperature and humidity conditions, and the cultivation is carried out industrially, or the incubator is packed into a plastic bag. Fold the bag inlet of the incubator packing bag and keep it closed, sterilize the incubator for each bag in this state, and inoculate the seed into the sterilized incubator packing bag to incubate the bacteria under predetermined temperature and humidity conditions. Cultivation is carried out.

By the way, as a preliminary step of inoculating the seed in the incubator in the conventional cultivation container or the cultivation packaging bag, there is a seed scraping removal work that scrapes the surface portion of the hardened and aged seed in the seed container.

In addition, sterilization is performed in the pretreatment stage of the seed inoculation device so that various bacteria adhere to the inside of the seed container or to the inlet side of the container, so that germs do not enter the culture container and the growing bag during inoculation of the seed by the next administration inoculation device. Is running.

In the pre-inoculation step of the spawn by the spawn inoculation device, it is conventionally carried out by manually removing the spawn scraping operation by using a scraping stick to scrape the spawn.

At this time, in order to prevent invasion of various germs, the tip of the scraping rod is soaked in alcohol and flame sterilized on an alcohol lamp, and then the scraping rod is inserted into the entrance of the seedling container, and the surface of the hardened seedling in the seedling container is inserted. Only the part is scraped off and the seed on the surface is removed in the seed container. In addition, the inlet portion of the spawn container may also be sterilized by alcohol spray, wiped by alcohol, or sterilized by heat sterilization.

By the way, in the pretreatment of the spawn scraping removal work and the sterilization treatment by the manual work, since it is a work by human hand, it takes a lot of time and scrapes it with a scraping stick by the human hand. Since the scraping depth from the part is jagged or the scraping is judged to check the depth by scraping off, the scraping condition is judged to face the inlet part of the seed container upwards, so that there may be a possibility of invasion of bacteria in the seed container. It is necessary to set up the spawn container which carries out spawn scraping operation to the inoculation device which inoculates the spawn seed, which is a process, in the cultivation container or the cultivation bag, and keeps the germs from invading germs. I am doing it. In addition, the sterilization state was also jagged, and there was a problem in terms of management.

Therefore, the present invention automatically executes pretreatment of the seed which is executed as a preliminary preparation of seed inoculation to be supplied in the growing container or the growing bag, and furthermore, the seed container after the pretreatment can be sequentially supplied to the seed scraping device position of the seedling inoculation device. An object of the present invention is to provide a seed vaccination apparatus.
