Design Research on a Mushroom Room Basket Loading and Unloading Equipment
Abstract：To address the problems of high labor intensity, long operation time, and safety hazards in the loading and unloading operations of mushroom room baskets in factory production, this study proposes a mechanical clamping-based loading and unloading scheme for mushroom room baskets. Based on the actual size layout of the mushroom room and cultivation racks, and combining with the movement process of the baskets, a three-dimensional model of the entire clamping-type loading and unloading equipment was established using 3D design software. The lifting device, clamping fork, rotating platform, and mobile chassis were designed according to the actual load. An automatic control module for loading and unloading operations based on PLC was developed. A prototype of the equipment was manufactured, and a simple test platform was set up. Functional tests were conducted. The test results show that the equipment can realize the loading and unloading of the baskets, effectively reducing labor intensity and improving the efficiency of loading and unloading operations, providing a reference machine for the factory production of edible fungi.
