[0002] A multitube pipette is a laboratory instrument used to accurately measure and dispense liquids. It can process multiple samples at the same time or transfer the same volume of liquid in multiple reaction vessels. When preparing microalgae, a multitube pipette is needed to pipette the culture medium.

[0003] After searching the Chinese patent with the publication number CN220803342U, a multi-channel pipette is disclosed, including a mounting shell, wherein the interior of the mounting shell is respectively provided with a negative pressure cavity and four liquid storage cavities, a mounting cover is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mounting shell, and four suction nozzles are arranged inside the mounting cover, and a tube cavity is opened inside the shell of the mounting cover, and the inner bottom wall of the four liquid storage cavities is provided with four connecting pipes respectively connected with the four suction nozzles, and the inner top wall of the negative pressure cavity is embedded with a mounting frame, and an electric push rod is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame. The patent sets a suction nozzle, a liquid storage cavity and an electric push rod, and the contraction of the electric push rod drives the piston to move up in the negative pressure cavity, and the upward movement of the piston makes the four liquid storage cavities negatively pressurized through the vent hole, and the negative pressure liquid storage cavity sucks the external liquid into the liquid storage cavity through the connecting pipe and the suction nozzle, so that the pipette can achieve the purpose of extracting and pipetting multiple liquids at the same time, thereby improving the pipetting efficiency of the pipette.

[0016] The present invention provides a multi-tube pipette for preparing microalgae through improvement, which has the following improvements and advantages compared with the prior art: First, the present invention is provided with a cleaning mechanism. When the pipette is used, the pipette is inserted into clean water, and the pipette can be cleaned by extracting clean water. Then the pipette can be retracted into the shell. When the pipette moves toward the inside of the shell, the sponge ring can wipe and clean the water remaining on the outer wall of the pipette, and the drainage hole can store the water left by the clean pipette. When the pipette moves upward inside the shell, the first mounting block will squeeze the transmission block as the pipette moves. After being squeezed, the two transmission blocks will move away from each other, thereby pressing the pressure rod. The pressure rod is squeezed and moves downward, thereby driving the pressure plate and the pressure ring to move downward. The downward movement of the pressure ring can squeeze the sponge ring. At this time, the water left inside the sponge ring due to cleaning the pipette will be squeezed. After the sponge ring is squeezed, the water inside the drainage hole can be discharged from the shell through the drainage port, thereby achieving the effect of automatically cleaning the residual water outside the pipette when the pipette is retracted. At the same time, the cleaned sponge ring can also be squeezed for water, which improves the cleaning effect of the pipette and reduces the steps required for cleaning the pipette.

[0017] Second: In the present invention, the first mounting block and the pipette can be installed inside the shell by adsorbing the second magnetic block and the first magnetic block together, and the shift block can be moved downward to drive the connecting block, the first mounting block and the pipette to move, so that the pipette can be moved out from the inside of the shell, or the pipette can be retracted into the shell after use. At the same time, each pipette is controlled individually, and the corresponding number of pipettes can be selected according to the number of samples to be pipetted, which is convenient for use.

[0018] Third: In the present invention, the handle can be fixedly installed on the shell by a fixing mechanism, and the block limits the handle. At this time, the handle will be fixed on the shell. When the device is not in use, the third magnetic block can be pressed, and the third magnetic block will move toward the inside of the handle, and then the block can be squeezed. After being squeezed, the block will move to the inside of the positioning block. At this time, the handle loses the force of being limited by the block, and the handle will be separated from the shell. The handle is moved upward, so that the first piston rod and the second piston rod leave the inside of the handle. At this time, the handle can be flipped toward one side of the shell, and the second piston rod and the third piston rod will also flip. When flipped until the third magnetic block and the fourth magnetic block are adsorbed together, the handle will be folded and fixed on the shell, and the pipette will also be stored in the inside of the shell, thereby achieving the effect of easy storage.

[0019] Fourthly, in the present invention, when the amount of culture fluid transferred through the pipette is small, the adjusting screw can be rotated, and the adjusting screw will drive the stop block to move inside the second mounting block. After the stop block contacts the first piston rod, when the first piston rod is pulled, the friction between the stop block and the first piston rod will increase the resistance to pulling the first piston rod. At this time, when the same force is used to pull the first piston rod, the distance moved by the first piston rod will become smaller, thereby reducing the amount of culture fluid absorbed. Thus, the amount of culture fluid inhaled can be accurately controlled when a small amount of culture fluid is absorbed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After the stop block 37 contacts the first piston rod 24, when the first piston rod 24 is pulled again, the friction between the stop block 37 and the first piston rod 24 will increase the resistance to pulling the first piston rod 24. At this time, the same force is used to pull the first piston rod 24, and the distance moved by the first piston rod 24 will become smaller, thereby reducing the amount of culture fluid absorbed, so that the amount of culture fluid absorbed can be accurately controlled when less culture fluid is absorbed.

[0029] Specific implementation steps: by pulling the pull rod assembly 5, the pull rod assembly 5 drives the piston plate 6 to move inside the negative pressure chamber 3 to generate negative pressure inside the negative pressure chamber 3, and then it can be transmitted to the inside of the pipette 2 through the inner tube 7. At this time, the pipette 2 can suck in the culture solution containing microalgae, and then the pipetting operation can be performed; By providing a cleaning mechanism, when the pipette 2 is used, the pipette 2 is inserted into clean water, and the pipette 2 can be cleaned by extracting clean water, and then the pipette 2 can be retracted into the shell 1. When the pipette 2 moves toward the inside of the shell 1, the sponge ring 10 can wipe and clean the water remaining on the outer wall of the pipette 2, and the drainage hole 16 can store the water left by the clean pipette 2. When the pipette 2 moves upward inside the shell 1, the first mounting block 11 will squeeze the transmission block 12 as the pipette 2 moves. After being squeezed, the two transmission blocks 12 will move away from each other, and then the pressure rod 13 can be squeezed. When the pressure rod 13 is squeezed, it will move downward, thereby driving the pressure plate 15 and the pressure ring 14 to move downward. The downward movement of the pressure ring 14 can squeeze the sponge ring 10. At this time, the water left inside the sponge ring 10 due to cleaning the pipette 2 will be squeezed. After the sponge ring 10 is squeezed, the water inside the drainage hole 16 can be discharged from the inside of the shell 1 through the drainage port 17, thereby achieving the effect of automatically cleaning the water remaining outside the pipette 2 when the pipette 2 is retracted. At the same time, the cleaned sponge ring 10 can also be squeezed for water, which improves the cleaning effect of the pipette 2 while reducing the steps required for cleaning the pipette 2.
