Description

Incubator filling device for filling the incubator in a square packaging case {APPARATUS FOR FILLING THE CULTURE MEDIUM IN THE SQUARE-SHAPED PACKING CASE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an incubator filling apparatus for filling a case made of a plastic film with a cultivator incorporating various nutrients as a main ingredient, such as large sawdust or rice bran.

Conventionally, a method of artificially cultivating mushrooms using a cultivator in which a large sawdust, rice bran, etc. are formulated with a nutrient source is used. After the inoculation, the cap is placed on the inlet of the cultivation bin to be closed and cultured under the predetermined temperature and humidity conditions for industrial cultivation, or the incubator is filled in a plastic case and the filled incubator packed case Fold the case entrance to the side of the case to maintain the shape of the case and sterilize the incubator for each case in this state, and inoculate the seed in the sterilized incubator-packed case to incubate the bacteria under the predetermined temperature and humidity conditions. The industrial cultivation method is performed.

In the former case, the top mushrooms can be cultivated according to the size of the inlet of the cultivation bin, but in the case of shiitake mushrooms, the inlet of the cultivation bin is narrow, which is not suitable for mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms. . For this reason, the latter plastic packaging case is used in artificial cultivation such as shiitake mushrooms and edible mushrooms.

In the former case, after harvesting the mushrooms, the cultivation bin can be used by taking out the internal cultivator of the cultivation bin and washing the cultivation bin, but there is a labor-intensive problem. Many incubator packing cases are used.

In the case of manually carrying out the operation of filling the incubator in the packaging case, first press the case opening of the packaging case to widen it, and fill the incubator with a predetermined amount, and press the upper surface by hand or jig to form a cylindrical shape. After that, the phagocytic holes are formed in the center of the upper surface of the case by filling and press molding the incubator.

In this case, there are a round packaging case type for filling the incubator in a cylindrical shape and a square packaging case type for filling the incubator in a cube shape. The round case type has a merit that it is easy to carry out the filling operation of the incubator because it does not take a relatively small form. When stacked with an angled part, the entire bottom surface of the rectangular packaging case has a merit that the collapse due to the weight rarely occurs.

By the way, conventionally, since the type of the round packaging case or the type of the rectangular packaging case has been manually filled with the incubator in the packaging case, it is necessary to fill the packaging case with the incubator, compress the incubator, or inoculate spawn seeds. In order to open the hole of the phagocytosis hole, etc., and the human incubator compresses the incubator by hand, there may be a crack in the rigidity of the press molding of the incubator. It may also cause shape collapse.

Recently, as the technology of artificial mushroom cultivation of this kind has been developed, a method of uniformly mass producing mushrooms has been proposed by mechanizing the handling or inoculation process of the incubator. For example, as suggested in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-41999, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-31149, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-24454, and the like, the case entrance of a packaging case in which three directions are closed. Has been proposed to open the cavity and fill the incubator in the case. However, the filling device of this incubator has a problem in that the production efficiency is lowered because the packing case is removed every time it is charged and the inlet is maintained after opening the case.

In view of this point, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-25521, a film is taken out from a roll-wound disc film and supplied, and the film is placed along the outer periphery of the cylindrical filling cylinder. It has been proposed to produce and send, and to fill and incubate the incubator in the cylindrical filling cylinder portion, in which case the film is drawn along the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical filling cylinder portion while taking out the film from the roll-shaped disk film The incubator which fills a case while filling and press-molding a incubator in the case by manufacturing and sending a case, supplying a culture | cultivator to the screw conveyor installed in the cylindrical filling cylinder part, and filling and sealing it in the cylindrical packaging case manufactured. Filling packaging devices have been proposed. In this case, when the incubator is filled in a round packing case with a rotating screw conveyor, there is an advantage of increasing the filling efficiency of the incubator. However, the structure may be suitable for the above-mentioned round type packaging case type. However, in the case of the square type packaging case type, since the package form is different, the case is relatively large, so that the structure of the round case type is simply replaced. There is a problem that the filling efficiency of the incubator is lowered.

Thus, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and while producing a case with a rectangular cylindrical shape of the film drawn out from the roll-shaped disk, the incubator can be efficiently and continuously filled in the produced rectangular packaging case. An incubator filling apparatus is provided.
