碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 機械設計工程系碩士班 === 105 === Inoculation operation is one of the important production processes in mushroom cultivations. In this paper, based on the current PP-bag packaging method, the manual operation way is changed to mechanical automation operation, and a fully automated PP-bag liquid inoculation system is designed and tested. The design of the fully automated liquid inoculation system by the PP-bag (ring+cap) method consists of the following four major topics: basket automatic transmission and positioning mechanism design, liquid inoculation system design, experiments and simulation testing for the inoculation system and brief considerations of aseptic condition control. The studying results show that the mechanism can reach the 24 bags/min level; the use of solenoid valve with commerical nozzle design will face the doubts of fault and obstruction in practical applications; experiments show that peristaltic pump for liquid inoculation is a better way, but cost and speed factors are their shortcomings.
