Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flower tissue culture technology, and more specifically, to a sterile and efficient flower inoculation operating table. Background Technology
[0002] Flower tissue culture and aseptic inoculation are crucial steps in flower breeding, rapid propagation of seedlings, and preservation of germplasm resources. Their core purpose is to transfer plant materials (such as shoot tips and leaves) onto a culture medium under aseptic conditions to achieve asexual reproduction, genetic improvement, or disease control. Flower inoculation typically refers to the critical procedure in plant tissue culture of transplanting sterilized plant materials (called explants) onto a sterile culture medium. This process must be carried out under strict aseptic conditions to avoid contamination by other microorganisms.
[0003] During inoculation, after surface disinfection of explants such as stem segments, leaves, and buds, metal tools such as scalpels and tweezers, which have been sterilized by flame, are used to cut, peel, or trim the plant material. During inoculation, these metal tools need to be repeatedly sterilized after handling different plant materials or at intervals to prevent cross-infection. However, the flame sterilization process alone requires placing the tools on an alcohol lamp flame for more than ten seconds, and then waiting for the tools to cool completely in the air before they can come into contact with the plant tissue to avoid burning the plant cells with high temperature, which would affect the inoculation effect. Therefore, the time spent on sterilization and waiting for the tools to cool down significantly reduces the operational efficiency of flower inoculation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterile and efficient flower inoculation operating table to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a sterile and efficient flower inoculation workbench, comprising: a sterile ultra-clean workbench body, wherein an alcohol lamp for sterilizing metal inoculation tools is provided on the sterile ultra-clean workbench body, a base structure is provided on the table surface of the sterile ultra-clean workbench body and the base structure is located next to the alcohol lamp, and a horizontal support is provided on the base structure, the horizontal support can fix the tail of the metal inoculation tool, so that the front of the metal inoculation tool is horizontally suspended above the alcohol lamp, so that the front of the metal inoculation tool contacts the outer flame of the alcohol lamp, and a storage part is provided on the side wall of the sterile ultra-clean workbench body, the storage part can suspend and store the sterilized metal inoculation tool.
[0006] Furthermore, the horizontal support includes: a main column disposed on the base structure, a tailstock cavity connected to the front end of the main column, and a magnetic sheet embedded in the bottom surface of the tailstock cavity; After the metal inoculation tool is inserted vertically and horizontally into the tailstock cavity, the magnetic plate can attract its tail, at which point the front of the metal inoculation tool is suspended above the alcohol lamp.
[0007] Furthermore, the horizontal support also includes: an outer casing and an electric push rod disposed on the base structure, and a transmission component connected to the output shaft of the electric push rod; The main column is axially slidably installed inside the outer kit, the output shaft of the electric push rod is directed toward the extension direction of the tail of the main column, and the other end of the conductive member is connected to the tail of the main column; When the electric push rod is activated, the main column can be pulled back and forth along the outer sleeve, so that the metal inoculation tool in the tailstock cavity moves continuously in a straight line back and forth above the alcohol lamp.
[0008] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is installed at the front end of the main column, and a protrusion is connected to the movable side of the rotating shaft, with a handle-shaped lever installed on the protrusion. The tailstock cavity is connected to the protrusion.
[0009] Furthermore, the base structure includes: a lower support body fixed on the table surface of the sterile ultra-clean workbench, a horizontal guide groove opened on the top of the lower support body, a main vertical member disposed in the guide groove at the top of the lower support body, and a driver horizontally disposed on the back of the lower support body, and the output end of the driver is connected to the main vertical member. When the driver is driven, the main vertical member can automatically slide horizontally relative to the alcohol lamp along the guide groove at the top of the lower support body. The main column, the outer casing, and the electric push rod are all located on the main vertical member.
[0010] Furthermore, the rotating shaft has a damping force.
[0011] Furthermore, the storage unit includes: a storage cavity fixed to the side wall of the sterile ultra-clean workbench, a glass panel hinged to the opening surface of the storage cavity, a plurality of connectors equally spaced in the storage cavity, and an ultraviolet lamp installed in the storage cavity. The tailstock cavity and the protrusion are connected by an interference fit, and several of the connectors have the same shape as the protrusion.
[0012] Furthermore, springs are installed on the two opposing inner sidewalls of the tailstock cavity, and clips are connected to the ends of the springs; The two clips are placed close to the central axis of the magnetic sheet at the same distance.
[0013] Furthermore, the storage cavity is provided with a copper inner liner, which passes through the storage cavity and the side wall of the sterile ultra-clean workbench and is connected to a heat sink outside the sterile ultra-clean workbench.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes a horizontal support to fix metal tools above an alcohol lamp, allowing them to be sterilized by the flame. The combined effect of the base structure and the horizontal support allows for the simultaneous fixing of multiple metal tools. Through lateral and longitudinal movement and flipping, these tools are subjected to sterilization in turn, ensuring that all parts of the tools in contact with the plant material are sterilized during inoculation. This automatic sterilization of multiple tools at once guarantees thorough sterilization, eliminating the need for operators to manually sterilize each tool individually over the alcohol lamp. Sterilized tools can be temporarily stored in batches in a storage unit that provides continuous sterilization, maintaining the tools' aseptic state and rapidly absorbing and dissipating heat, allowing for faster cooling. Tools can be directly retrieved from the storage unit upon use, significantly reducing the time spent sterilizing and cooling tools during inoculation, thus ensuring more efficient flower inoculation operations.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.
[0019] like Figure 1-10As shown, a sterile and efficient flower inoculation workbench includes: a sterile ultra-clean workbench body 1, an alcohol lamp 2 for sterilizing metal inoculation tools, an upper base structure 3 located next to the alcohol lamp 2, and a horizontal support 4 mounted on the upper base structure 3. The horizontal support 4 can fix the tail of the metal inoculation tool, so that the front of the metal inoculation tool is horizontally suspended above the alcohol lamp 2, allowing the front of the metal inoculation tool to contact the outer flame of the alcohol lamp 2. A storage section 5 is provided on the side wall of the sterile ultra-clean workbench body 1, which can suspend and store the sterilized metal inoculation tool. This invention uses the horizontal support 4 to fix the metal tool above the alcohol lamp 2, allowing the metal tool to be sterilized by the flame of the alcohol lamp 2. Under the combined action of the upper base structure 3 and the horizontal support 4... This device can fix multiple metal tools at once and use lateral and longitudinal movement and flipping actions to allow them to be sterilized by burning in turn. This ensures that all parts of the metal tools that come into contact with the plant material during inoculation are sterilized by burning. It achieves automatic sterilization of multiple metal tools at once while ensuring thorough sterilization, eliminating the need for inoculation operators to sterilize each metal tool individually over an alcohol lamp 2. The sterilized metal tools can be temporarily stored in batches in the storage section 5, which provides continuous sterilization to maintain the aseptic state of the metal tools and rapidly absorbs and dissipates heat, allowing the tools to cool down more quickly after burning. When needed, the corresponding metal tools can be directly removed from the storage section 5, greatly reducing the time spent sterilizing and cooling tools during inoculation, thus ensuring more efficient flower inoculation operations.
[0020] Optionally, the horizontal support 4 includes: a main column 41 disposed on the base structure 3, a tailstock cavity 42 connected to the front end of the main column 41, and a magnetic sheet 43 embedded in the bottom surface of the tailstock cavity 42. After the metal inoculation tool is inserted horizontally into the tailstock cavity 42, the magnetic plate 43 can hold its tail. At this time, the front of the metal inoculation tool is suspended above the alcohol lamp 2. During the inoculation process, the used tool or the tool that needs to be sterilized is inserted directly into the inner bottom surface of the tailstock cavity 42 until the front of the tool reaches above the flame of the alcohol lamp 2. The magnetic plate 43 can hold the tail of the tool, thus fixing the tool. At this time, the operator can release the tool and continue the inoculation operation, allowing the tool to be sterilized by the flame of the alcohol lamp 2. This eliminates the need for the operator to hold the tool for sterilization, reducing the time spent on sterilizing the tool during the inoculation process and improving the efficiency of the inoculation operation. The height of the alcohol lamp 2 is adjusted so that its outer flame burns the tool, using the highest temperature outer flame for sterilization to ensure a better sterilization effect.
[0021] Optionally, the horizontal support 4 further includes: an outer sleeve 44 and an electric push rod 45 disposed on the base structure 3, and a transmission member 46 connected to the output shaft of the electric push rod 45; The main column 41 is axially slidably installed inside the outer kit 44, the output shaft of the electric push rod 45 is directed toward the extension direction of the tail of the main column 41, and the other end of the conductor 46 is connected to the tail of the main column 41. When the electric push rod 45 is activated, the main column 41 can be pulled back and forth along the outer sleeve 44, so that the metal inoculation tool in the tailstock cavity 42 moves back and forth in a straight line above the alcohol lamp 2. When the tool is fixed in the tailstock cavity 42 to begin to be burned and sterilized, the electric push rod 45 is activated, and the main column 41 is pulled back and forth in a straight line within the outer sleeve 44 through the conductor 46, so that the main column 41 moves back and forth along the outer sleeve 44 relative to the alcohol lamp 2, thereby causing the tool fixed in the tailstock cavity 42 to also move back and forth above the flame of the alcohol lamp 2, so that more parts of the tool are burned and sterilized, effectively improving the comprehensiveness of sterilization.
[0022] Optionally, a rotating shaft 47 is installed at the front end of the main column 41, and a protrusion 48 is connected to the movable side of the rotating shaft 47. A handle-shaped lever 49 is installed on the protrusion 48. The tailstock cavity 42 is connected to the protrusion 48. In the initial state, the handle-shaped lever 49 faces directly upward. After the lower surface of the tool is fully sterilized by flaming, the handle-shaped lever 49 is held and rotated downward with the support of the rotating shaft 47 until the handle-shaped lever 49 is rotated 180 degrees. This flips the tailstock cavity 42 and the tool being sterilized. Driven by the electric push rod 45, the other side of the tool is then sterilized by flaming, further improving the sterilization effect. This ensures that all parts of the tool, especially scalpels with obvious double-sided features, that come into contact with plant material during inoculation are fully sterilized by flaming. This ensures that the same sterilization effect can be achieved even without manual sterilization, preventing contamination and cross-infection. While improving the efficiency of the inoculation operation, this also ensures that no negative impact is generated.
[0023] Optionally, the base structure 3 includes: a lower support body 31 fixed on the table surface of the sterile ultra-clean workbench 1, the top of the lower support body 31 having a horizontal guide groove, a main vertical member 32 disposed in the top guide groove of the lower support body 31, and a driver horizontally disposed on the back of the lower support body 31, and the output end of the driver being connected to the main vertical member 32. When the driver is driven, the main vertical member 32 can automatically slide horizontally relative to the alcohol lamp 2 along the guide groove at the top of the lower support body 31. The driver can be any existing linear driver that can push the main vertical member 32 to move linearly, and no specific model or type is limited here. The main column 41, the outer sleeve 44, and the electric push rod 45 are all located on the main vertical member 32. Multiple sets of components, including the main column 41, tailstock cavity 42, rotating shaft 47, and outer sleeve 44, are aligned on the main vertical member 32. The tails of all the main columns 41 are connected to the output shaft of the electric push rod 45 via the same conductive member 46, ensuring that all the main columns 41 can be driven by the electric push rod 45. During inoculation, multiple used or sterilizable tools can be inserted into a single tailstock cavity 42, arranging them horizontally. Sterilization is initiated by activating the drive mechanism. The actuator moves the main vertical member 32 back and forth horizontally relative to the alcohol lamp 2 along the guide groove at the top of the lower support 31, so that all tools also move back and forth above the alcohol lamp 2. Alternatively, the main vertical member 32 can be moved to sterilize the next tool after one tool has been completely sterilized, ensuring that each tool is sterilized. Multiple tools can be sterilized at once, eliminating the need for the inoculation operator to hold each metal tool and burn it on the alcohol lamp 2 for sterilization. This further reduces the time spent on tool sterilization during the inoculation process, improves the efficiency of the inoculation operation, and provides a solid guarantee for more efficient flower inoculation operations.
[0024] Optionally, the rotating shaft 47 has a damping force, that is, the rotating shaft 47 is a damping rotating shaft, so that the operator needs to apply a certain force to the handle-shaped lever 49 to rotate the rotating shaft 47 to adjust the direction of the tailstock cavity 42 and the sterilized tool. Under normal conditions and after flipping, the tailstock cavity 42 and the tool can be stably stopped, ensuring that the tailstock cavity 42 and the tool will not shake or swing due to external force or inertia, and ensuring that the tool can be accurately flipped and stably subjected to burning for complete sterilization.
[0025] Optionally, the storage unit 5 includes: a storage cavity 51 fixed on the side wall of the sterile ultra-clean workbench 1, a glass panel 52 hinged to the opening surface of the storage cavity 51, a plurality of connectors 53 equally spaced in the storage cavity 51, and an ultraviolet lamp installed in the storage cavity 51. The tailstock cavity 42 and the protrusion 48 are connected by an interference fit, providing a certain amount of friction between them to ensure a stable connection and prevent the tailstock cavity 42 from detaching from the protrusion 48, which could cause the tool to fall and hit the alcohol lamp 2. Several connectors 53 are identical in shape to the protrusion 48. After the tool is sterilized, the tool, along with the tailstock cavity 42, can be removed from the protrusion 48. Then, the glass panel 52 is opened, and the tailstock cavity 42 is reinserted into the connectors 53 in the storage cavity 51, temporarily storing all sterilized tools. The tools are suspended and stored in the storage chamber 51, where ultraviolet lamps continuously irradiate them, providing continuous sterilization and maintaining the sterility of the metal tools to prevent contamination. If there are still tools that need sterilization, they can be sterilized using the remaining tailstock chamber 42. When needed, the tools can be removed directly from the storage chamber 51 by pulling out the corresponding tailstock chamber 42, further facilitating the operator and avoiding the need to wait for the tools to be sterilized. This further ensures more efficient flower inoculation operations.
[0026] Optionally, springs 421 are installed on the two opposing inner sidewalls of the tailstock cavity 42, and the ends of the springs 421 are connected to clips 422. The two clamping pieces 422 are close to the central axis of the magnetic plate 43 at the same distance. During the process of inserting the tool into the tailstock cavity 42, the tool pushes the two clamping pieces 422 apart and compresses the spring 421. At the same time, the rebound force of the spring 421 clamps the tool in the middle through the two clamping pieces 422. Based on the attraction of the magnetic plate 43, the tool is fixed again to ensure the stability of the tool when it is being burned and suspended in the storage cavity 51, and to prevent the tool from falling out.
[0027] Optionally, a copper inner liner 511 is provided inside the storage cavity 51. The copper inner liner 511 passes through the storage cavity 51 and the side wall of the sterile ultra-clean workbench 1 and is connected to a heat sink 512 outside the sterile ultra-clean workbench 1. The copper inner liner 511 has good thermal conductivity. After the sterilized tool is placed into the storage cavity 51, the copper inner liner 511 can quickly absorb the heat it emits and transfer it to the outside of the sterile ultra-clean workbench 1 through the heat sink 512. This changes the natural cooling of the tool and allows the tool to cool down faster, thereby greatly reducing the time spent waiting for the tool to cool down during the inoculation process and ensuring more efficient flower inoculation operations. In the relatively enclosed space formed by the storage cavity 51 and the glass panel 52, the copper inner liner 511 can better and faster absorb the heat dissipated by the tool, helping the tool to cool down more quickly.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
