Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of efficiently inoculating microbial liquid in a large-sized container, in particular to an inoculation device for efficiently inoculating microbial liquid in a large-sized container. Background Art

[0002] Microbial inoculation is to disperse a certain amount of microbial liquid in the culture medium in the culture dish, and obtain a large number of independently distributed microbial colonies after cultivation. Since the microbial colonies are visible to the naked eye, it is convenient for workers to extract valuable components from the microbial colonies. Since the diameter of the culture dish is generally less than 15cm, it is impossible to inoculate a large amount of microbial liquid. Therefore, the staff uses Figure 1~Figure 4 The large-sized container shown is used to inoculate microbial liquid. The large-sized container includes a container body 1 and a plastic cover 2 covering the top end of the container body 1. The bottom of the container body 1 is closed, and the diameter of the container body 1 is 25 cm.

[0003] The method by which the staff inoculates the microbial liquid into the large-sized container is as follows: S1. A staff member takes out a large-sized container and supports the container body 1 of the large-sized container on a table; then the staff member removes the plastic cover 2 from the container body 1; S2. The staff adds a certain amount of culture solution into the container body 1; S3, the staff takes out an inoculator, uses the inoculator to extract a certain amount of microbial liquid from the storage tank; then the liquid outlet port of the inoculator is brought into contact with the liquid surface of the culture liquid; the staff squeezes the air bag of the inoculator, and the microbial liquid in the inoculator flows out from the liquid outlet port of the inoculator, and then the staff moves the inoculator in a flower shape. When the inoculator is moved to the initial position, the first batch of microbial liquid can be dispersed in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape; S4, the staff repeats the operation of step S3 for multiple times, so that multiple batches of microbial liquid can be dispersed in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape; S5. The staff member re-closes the plastic cover 2 on the top port of the container body 1 to seal the culture solution and the microbial liquid, thereby finally achieving the inoculation of the microbial liquid in the large-sized container; S6. The staff repeats the operations of steps S1 to S5 for multiple times, and then multiple large-sized containers can be inoculated with microbial liquid.

[0004] However, although this method can inoculate microbial liquid in large-sized containers, it still reflects the following technical defects in actual operation: I. In step S1, when the staff pulls the bottom surface of the side of the plastic cover 2 upward with their left and right hands respectively, the pulling direction is as follows: Figure 2 As shown by the solid arrow in the middle, since the top of the plastic cover 2 is still tightly attached to the top surface of the container body 1, the top of the plastic cover 2 blocks the upward movement of the side of the plastic cover 2, thereby causing the side of the plastic cover 2 to deform outward, which results in that in step S5, after the staff re-closes the plastic cover 2 on the top port of the container body 1, the plastic cover 2 cannot seal the top port of the container body 1, that is, there is a gap between the side of the plastic cover 2 and the cylindrical surface of the container body 1. Therefore, there is a technical defect that the plastic cover 2 is not tightly closed.

[0005] In addition, it is not only necessary to manually remove the plastic cover 2 from the container body 1, but also necessary to manually re-cover the plastic cover 2 on the container body 1; and the entire operation is completed manually, thereby extending the inoculation time of the microbial liquid and reducing the inoculation efficiency of the microbial liquid.

[0006] II. In steps S3-S4, the staff is required to first extract a certain amount of microbial liquid from the storage tank using an inoculator, and then manually move the inoculator in a flower shape to disperse the microbial liquid in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape; and the entire operation is completed manually, and there are many operating procedures, which undoubtedly takes a long time to disperse multiple batches of microbial liquid in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape, thereby further reducing the inoculation efficiency of the microbial liquid.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an inoculation device that has a tight plastic cover and greatly improves the efficiency of microbial liquid inoculation. Summary of the invention

[0025] The working steps of the present invention are: S1. The staff takes out a Figure 1~Figure 2 The large-sized container shown in the figure is inserted from top to bottom into the positioning hole 29 of the turntable 28 of the fixed and rotating assembly 4, as shown in FIG. Fig.19 As shown, at this time, the large-sized container enters the decapping station of the automatic decapping assembly 8, and the bottom surface of the container body 1 of the large-sized container completely covers the vacuum hole A31 of the suction cup A30. At the same time, the plastic cover 2 of the large-sized container is located directly above the positioning hole 29, and the plastic cover 2 is just directly above the suction cup B34 of the automatic decapping assembly 8. S2, removing the plastic cover 2 from the container body 1, the specific operation steps are: S21, control the vacuum pump A32 of the fixed and rotating assembly 4 to start, and the vacuum pump A32 evacuates the inner cavity of the suction cup A30 and each vacuum hole A31, and under negative pressure, the container body 1 of the large-sized container is adsorbed and fixed on the suction cup A30; S22, control the piston rod of the cover removal cylinder 33 of the automatic cover removal assembly 8 to extend downward, the piston rod drives the arch frame B to move downward, and the arch frame B drives the vacuum pump B36, the suction cup B34, the two horizontal cylinders 37 and the lifting plate 38 to move downward synchronously; when the piston rod of the cover removal cylinder 33 is fully extended, the bottom surface of the suction cup B34 just contacts with the top of the plastic cover 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 20~Figure 21 As shown, at the same time, the semicircular holes 39 of the two lifting plates 38 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the container body 1 of the large-sized container; S23, control the piston rods of the two horizontal cylinders 37 to retract, the piston rods drive the vertical plate to move toward the container body 1, and the vertical plate drives the semicircular holes 39 of the lifting plate 38 to move toward the container body 1 synchronously. When the piston rods of the two horizontal cylinders 37 are fully retracted, the semicircular holes 39 of the two lifting plates 38 are respectively stuck on the outer cylindrical surface of the container body 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 22~Figure 23 As shown, at the same time, the top surfaces of the two lifting plates 38 are in contact with the bottom surface of the side of the plastic cover 2; S24, control the vacuum pump B36 to start, the vacuum pump B36 evacuates the inner cavity of the suction cup B34 and each vacuum hole B35, and under negative pressure, the plastic cover 2 of the large-sized container is adsorbed and fixed on the suction cup B34; S25, control the piston rod of the cover removal cylinder 33 of the automatic cover removal assembly 8 to retract upward, the piston rod drives the arch frame B to move upward, and the arch frame B drives the vacuum pump B36, the suction cup B34, the two horizontal cylinders 37 and the lifting plate 38 to move upward synchronously, wherein the suction cup B34 drives the top of the plastic cover 2 to move upward, and at the same time, the two lifting plates 38 drive the side of the plastic cover 2 to move upward, thereby gradually removing the plastic cover 2 from the container body 1; when the piston rod of the cover removal cylinder 33 is fully retracted, the plastic cover 2 can be automatically removed from the container body 1, as shown in FIG. Fig.24 As shown; Among them, it can be known in step S25 that while the suction cup B34 drives the top of the plastic cover 2 to move upward, the two lifting plates 38 also lift the sides of the plastic cover 2 upward, so that the top and sides of the plastic cover 2 move upward synchronously. Therefore, compared with the manual cover removal method, the inoculation device effectively avoids the deformation of the side of the plastic cover 2 caused by the top of the plastic cover 2 blocking the upward movement of the side of the plastic cover 2 when the staff pulls the bottom surface of the side of the plastic cover 2 upward, thereby ensuring that in S82, after the plastic cover 2 is re-covered on the top port of the container body 1, the plastic cover 2 can tightly seal the top port of the container body 1, and has the technical characteristics of tight covering.

[0026] In addition, the inoculation device can automatically remove the plastic cover 2 from the container body 1 or automatically cover the plastic cover 2 on the container body 1 through the linkage cooperation of the fixing and rotating component 4 and the automatic cover removal component 8. There is no need to manually remove the plastic cover 2 from the container body 1 or manually re-cover the plastic cover 2 on the container body 1, thereby shortening the inoculation time of the microbial solution and greatly improving the inoculation efficiency of the microbial solution.

[0027] S3, after removing the plastic cover 2 on the container body 1, the staff adds a certain amount of culture solution into the container body 1; S4, control the servo motor 5 to start, the servo motor 5 drives the main shaft 6 to rotate, the main shaft 6 drives the strip plate 7 to rotate, the strip plate 7 drives the automatic cover removal component 8 and the automatic dispersion component 9 to rotate synchronously, the automatic cover removal component 8 drives the removed plastic cover 2 to rotate synchronously, when the strip plate 7 rotates 180°, the controller controls the servo motor 5 to turn off, at this time, the inoculation tube 19 of the automatic dispersion component 9 just moves to the top of the container body 1, as shown in FIG. Fig.25 As shown; S5, dispersing the first batch of microbial liquid in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape, and the specific operation steps are as follows: S51, control the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 10 of the automatic dispersion component 9 to extend downward, the piston rod drives the lifting plate 11 to move downward, and the lifting plate 11 drives the various components connected thereto to move downward synchronously. When the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 10 is fully extended, the bottom end of the inoculation tube 19 just contacts the liquid surface of the culture solution in the container body 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 26-27 As shown; S52, the peristaltic pump 24 of the automatic dispersing component 9 is controlled to start, and the peristaltic pump 24 extracts the microbial liquid in the storage tank 23. Under the pump pressure, the microbial liquid passes through the liquid extraction pipe 25, the peristaltic pump 24, the liquid discharge pipe 26, the top port of the inoculation tube 19, the inoculation tube 19, and finally is discharged from the bottom port of the inoculation tube 19. The discharged microbial liquid initially falls on the liquid surface of the culture liquid in the container body 1; S53, control the driving motor 15 of the automatic dispersing component 9 to start, the driving motor 15 drives the connecting plate 16 to rotate around the axis of the driving motor 15, and the connecting plate 16 drives the peristaltic pump 24, the storage tank 23, the movable bar 17, the fixed plate 18, the spring 21, and the nylon wheel 22 thereon to rotate synchronously, wherein the nylon wheel 22 rotates relative to the axis of the annular ring 13 in a stationary state, and the rotation direction is as follows: Fig. 27 As shown by the solid arrow in the middle, during the rotation process, the nylon wheel 22 makes a wave-like motion along each arc groove 14, and the nylon wheel 22 making a wave-like motion drives the rod 20 to make a reciprocating radial motion relative to the annular ring 13 in a stationary state, and the rod 20 drives the movable bar 17 to make a reciprocating radial motion, and the movable bar 17 drives the inoculation tube 19 to make a reciprocating radial motion. When the nylon wheel 22 rotates one circle, the controller controls the drive motor 15 and the peristaltic pump 24 to be turned off; because the inoculation tube 19 rotates relative to the axis of the annular ring 13 in a stationary state, and makes a reciprocating radial motion relative to the annular ring 13 in a stationary state, the inoculation tube 19 makes a flower-shaped motion above the liquid surface of the culture liquid, and the microbial liquid flowing out from the bottom port of the inoculation tube 19 is dispersed in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape, and finally the first batch of microbial liquid is dispersed in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown; S6, the staff controls the stepper motor 27 of the fixed and rotating assembly 4 to start, the stepper motor 27 drives the arch frame A, the turntable 28 and the suction cup A30 to rotate synchronously, and the turntable 28 drives the container body 1 to rotate synchronously. The rotation direction of the container body 1 is as follows: Fig.28As shown by the hollow arrow, when the container body 1 rotates to the set angle, the controller controls the stepping motor 27 to turn off; then the staff repeats the operations of steps S52 to S53, and the second microbial liquid can be dispersed in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape; S7, the staff repeats the operation of step S6 for multiple times, and can disperse multiple batches of microbial liquid in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape, such as Figure 6 As shown; S8, re-covering the plastic cover 2 in the automatic cover removal assembly 8 on the top port of the container body 1, and the specific operation steps are as follows: S81, control the servo motor 5 to start, the servo motor 5 drives the main shaft 6 to rotate, the main shaft 6 drives the strip plate 7 to rotate, the strip plate 7 drives the automatic cover removal component 8 and the automatic dispersion component 9 to rotate synchronously, the automatic cover removal component 8 drives the removed plastic cover 2 to rotate synchronously, when the strip plate 7 rotates 180°, the controller controls the servo motor 5 to turn off, at this time, the plastic cover 2 in the automatic cover removal component 8 just moves to the top of the container body 1; S82, control the piston rod of the cover removal cylinder 33 of the automatic cover removal assembly 8 to extend downward, and when the piston rod of the cover removal cylinder 33 is fully extended, the plastic cover 2 is re-covered on the container body 1, as shown in FIG. Fig.29 As shown, the top port of the container body 1 is sealed, thereby finally achieving the inoculation of the microbial liquid in the large-sized container; S9. Removal of the large-sized container inoculated with the microbial liquid, the specific operation steps are as follows: S91, control the piston rods of the two horizontal cylinders 37 of the automatic cover removal assembly 8 to extend outward, the piston rods drive the vertical plate to move outward, the vertical plate drives the lifting plate 38 to move outward, and the semicircular hole 39 of the lifting plate 38 is separated from the container body 1; then control the vacuum pump B36 to turn off, at this time, the suction cup B34 no longer absorbs the top of the plastic cover 2; then control the piston rod of the cover removal cylinder 33 to retract upward, and the piston rod drives the suction cup B34 to reset; S92, control the vacuum pump A32 to turn off, at this time, the suction cup A30 no longer adsorbs the container body 1; then the staff will take away the large-sized container inoculated with the microbial liquid, and the direction of taking away is as follows Fig.30 As indicated by the arrow; S10. Repeat steps S1 to S9 for multiple times, and then multiple large-sized containers can be inoculated with microbial liquid.

[0028] Among them, from step S5, the staff only needs to make the lifting cylinder 10 and the driving motor 15 of the automatic dispersion component 9 to make the inoculation tube 19 rotate relative to the axis of the annular ring 13 in a stationary state, and make reciprocating radial motion relative to the annular ring 13 in a stationary state, so that the inoculation tube 19 makes a flower-shaped motion above the liquid surface of the culture solution, and then the microbial liquid flowing out from the bottom port of the inoculation tube 19 is dispersed in the culture solution of the container body 1 in a flower shape, and finally the first batch of microbial liquid is dispersed in the culture solution of the container body 1 in a flower shape; then in steps S6~S7, only through the linkage cooperation of the automatic dispersion component 9 and the fixing and rotating component 4, it is possible to disperse multiple batches of microbial liquid in the culture solution of the container body 1 in a flower shape.

[0029] It can be seen that compared with the traditional inoculation method, the present inoculation device does not require the staff to use the inoculator to extract a certain amount of microbial liquid from the storage tank, nor does it require the staff to manually move the inoculator in a flower shape to disperse the microbial liquid in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape. Instead, the microbial liquid is automatically dispersed in the culture liquid of the container body 1 in a flower shape, thereby achieving the goal of dispersing multiple batches of microbial liquid in the culture liquid in a flower shape in a short time, thereby greatly improving the inoculation efficiency of the microbial liquid.
