Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dripping device technology, and in particular to a fully automated microbial post-processing dripping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Existing microbial post-processing systems involve dividing positive bottles into smaller cups for further processing. This process requires specific experimental conditions, is complex, and carries the risk of virus spread.

[0003] In summary, how to design an automatic dripping structure for automatic dripping treatment of microbial post-processing systems is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to propose a fully automated microbial post-processing dripping mechanism, aiming to design an automated dripping structure for automated dripping treatment of microbial post-processing systems.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is to provide a fully automatic microbial post-processing dripping mechanism, including: a base, a lateral translation structure, an image recognition unit, and a flipping dripping structure; the lateral translation structure is movably disposed on the base along the length direction of the base; the image recognition unit is fixed at one end of the base; and the flipping dripping structure is fixed on the lateral translation structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the lateral translation structure includes a driving stepper motor, two driven pulleys, a synchronous belt, a drop delivery block, and a photoelectric sensor. The driving stepper motor is mounted on the base. The two driven pulleys are spaced apart along the length of the base, with one of the driven pulleys connected to the output shaft of the driving stepper motor. The synchronous belt is rotatably mounted on the two driven pulleys. The drop delivery block is slidably connected to the base along the length of the base and is fixed to the synchronous belt. The flipping drop structure is fixed to the drop delivery block. The photoelectric sensor is mounted on the base.

[0007] Furthermore, the tipping and dripping structure includes an electric rotary table, a dripping motor connecting plate, a rotating gripper, and two dripping rotating clamps. The electric rotary table is mounted on the dripping transport block. The dripping motor connecting plate is rotatably fixed on the electric rotary table and is connected to the motor spindle of the electric rotary table. The rotating gripper is fixed on the dripping motor connecting plate. The two dripping rotating clamps are respectively fixed to the cylinder ends of the rotating gripper.

[0008] Furthermore, the flipping drop structure also includes a positive bottle, which is sandwiched between the two drop rotating jaws.

[0009] Furthermore, the image recognition unit includes: a support plate, a camera, and a light source. The support plate is fixed to the dripping motor connecting plate; the camera is located at one end of the support plate; the light source is located at the other end of the support plate; and the dripping rotating gripper is located between the camera and the light source; wherein the lens of the camera is oriented towards the light source.

[0010] This invention also proposes a fully automated method for post-treatment of microbial droplets, comprising the following steps:

[0011] The lateral translation structure drives the flipping droplet structure to move onto the plate;

[0012] The droplet structure is rotated 120°.

[0013] The image recognition unit's camera monitors the dripping of liquid in the positive bottle and determines whether liquid has dripped within 50 seconds;

[0014] If no liquid is dispensed within 50 seconds, the reverse dispensing structure is reset, and the reverse dispensing structure is rotated 120°+n° again. It is then determined whether liquid is dispensed within 50 seconds.

[0015] If the dripping is completed, the control system resets the flipping dripping structure and the control system resets the lateral translation structure.

[0016] The technical solution of this invention, by setting a lateral translation structure, moves the positive bottle fixed on the flipping dripping structure to the position where the blood plate is placed. The flipping dripping structure is used to rotate the positive bottle by a certain angle, so that the positive bottle can drip onto the blood plate. The image recognition unit is used to monitor whether the drip in the positive bottle is dispensed. If it cannot drip, the flipping dripping structure is controlled to rotate a larger angle, thereby realizing automatic dripping without dispensing too much liquid. The automatic control of accurate and precise dripping enables automatic dripping treatment of the microbial post-processing system. Attached Figure Description

If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0030] This invention proposes a fully automated microbial post-processing dripping mechanism, aiming to design an automated dripping structure for automated dripping treatment of microbial post-processing systems.

[0031] The fully automated microbial post-processing dripping mechanism proposed in this invention will be described below in specific embodiments:

[0032] In the technical solution of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a fully automated microbial post-processing dripping mechanism includes a base 10, a lateral translation structure 20, an image recognition unit 40, and a flipping dripping structure 30. The lateral translation structure 20 is movably disposed on the base 10 along the length direction of the base 10. The image recognition unit 40 is fixed to one end of the base 10. The flipping dripping structure 30 is fixed on the lateral translation structure 20.

[0033] Understandably, this application uses a lateral translation structure 20 to move the positive bottle 35, which is fixed on the flipping dripping structure 30, to the position where the blood plate 200 is placed. The flipping dripping structure 30 is used to rotate the positive bottle 35 by a certain angle, so that the positive bottle 35 can drip onto the blood plate 200. The image recognition unit 40 is used to monitor whether the liquid in the positive bottle 35 is dripped out. If it cannot drip out, the flipping dripping structure 30 is controlled to rotate a larger angle, thereby realizing automatic dripping without dripping too much. The automatic control of accurate and precise dripping enables automatic dripping treatment of the microbial post-processing system.

[0034] In one feasible implementation, when the robotic arm grasps the positive bottle 35 to the puncture position, the dripping rotating gripper 34 of the flipping dripping structure 30 clamps the positive bottle 35, and the robotic arm inserts the airway needle into the positive bottle 35. At this time, the image recognition unit 40 determines whether the airway needle has punctured the positive bottle 35. When the image recognition unit 40 determines that the airway needle has punctured the positive bottle 35, the lateral translation structure 20 is controlled to move on the base 10, thereby moving the positive bottle 35 to the position where the blood plate 200 is placed, thereby realizing the automatic pre-treatment of the drip.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the lateral translation structure 20 includes a driving stepper motor 21, two driven pulleys 22, a synchronous belt 23, a drop delivery block 24, and a photoelectric sensor 25. The driving stepper motor 21 is mounted on the base 10. The two driven pulleys 22 are spaced apart along the length of the base 10, with one driven pulley 22 connected to the output shaft of the driving stepper motor 21. The synchronous belt 23 is rotatably mounted on the two driven pulleys 22. The drop delivery block 24 is slidably connected to the base 10 along the length of the base 10 and is fixed to the synchronous belt 23. The flipping drop structure 30 is fixed to the drop delivery block 24. The photoelectric sensor 25 is mounted on the base 10.

[0036] Understandably, the working principle of the lateral translation structure 20 is as follows: the stepper motor 21 drives one of the driven pulleys 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the synchronous belt 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the dripping transport block 24 to move along the length of the base 10.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the flipping dripping structure 30 includes an electric rotary table 31, a dripping motor connecting plate 32, a rotating pneumatic gripper 33, and two dripping rotating clamps 34. The electric rotary table 31 is mounted on the dripping transport block 24. The dripping motor connecting plate 32 is rotatably fixed on the electric rotary table 31 and is connected to the motor spindle of the electric rotary table 31. The rotating pneumatic gripper 33 is fixed on the dripping motor connecting plate 32. The two dripping rotating clamps 34 are respectively fixed to the cylinder ends of the rotating pneumatic gripper 33.

[0038] Understandably, the working principle of the flipping drip structure 30 is as follows: the electric rotary table 31 is mounted on the drip conveying block 24 to generate the driving force for rotation; the drip motor connecting plate 32 is rotatably fixed on the electric rotary table 31 and connected to the motor spindle of the electric rotary table 31. The motor of the electric rotary table 31 drives the drip motor connecting plate 32 to rotate. The rotating gripper 33 is fixed on the drip motor connecting plate 32. The two drip rotating grippers 34 are respectively fixed to the cylinder ends of the rotating grippers 33. The cylinder of the rotating gripper 33 is used to drive the two drip rotating grippers 34 to open or close, thereby clamping the positive bottle 35.

[0039] Furthermore, the flip-drop structure 30 also includes a positive bottle 35, which is sandwiched between two drop-drop rotating grippers 34.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the image recognition unit 40 includes a support plate 41, a camera 42, and a light source 43. The support plate 41 is fixed on the drip motor connecting plate 32; the camera 42 is located at one end of the support plate 41; the light source 43 is located at the other end of the support plate 41; and the drip rotating gripper 34 is located between the camera 42 and the light source 43; wherein the lens of the camera 42 is set towards the light source 43.

[0041] Understandably, the support plate 41 is mounted on the drip motor connecting plate 32. The support plate 41 is U-shaped, with a camera 42 at one end and a light source 43 at the other end. The light source 43 emits light toward the lens of the camera 42 so that the lens of the camera 42 can more clearly capture whether the airway needle of the positive bottle 35 is dripping.

[0042] This invention also proposes a fully automated method for post-treatment of microbial droplets, such as... Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0043] S10: The lateral translation structure drives the flipping droplet structure to move onto the plate;

[0044] S20: Rotate the inverted droplet structure 120°;

[0045] S30: The camera of the image recognition unit monitors the dripping of the positive bottle and determines whether dripping occurs within 50 seconds;

[0046] S40: If no liquid is dripped within 50 seconds, control the reversing dripping structure to reset, control the reversing dripping structure to rotate 120°+n° again, and determine whether liquid is dripped within 50 seconds;

[0047] S50: If the dripping is completed, control the flipping dripping structure to reset and control the lateral translation structure to reset.

[0048] Understandably, in step S20, the positive bottle inside the flipped drop structure 30 is in a vertical state, which is the initial state, and n in step S40 is any number from 2 to 10.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
