[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support mechanism includes a support pipe 2 arranged on the base 1, a slide groove 3 arranged at the upper end of the support pipe 2, and a support sheet 4 arranged in the slide groove 3 and sliding in the slide groove 3 for supporting the filter membrane; after the support sheet 4 slides to the front end in the slide groove 3, it is convenient to place the filter membrane on the support sheet 4, and then the support sheet 4 moves backward so that the position of the filter membrane corresponds to the position of the spraying mechanism. After the support sheet 4 is moved out, the filter membrane can be replaced, and the operation is convenient.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the spraying mechanism includes a lifting frame 5 arranged on the base 1 and lifted and lowered on the base 1, a protective cover 6 arranged on the lifting frame 5 and a hose 7 connected to the protective cover 6. The upper end of the protective cover 6 is connected to the lifting frame 5 through a buffer mechanism, the lower end of the hose 7 penetrates into the protective cover 6 and is slidably connected with the protective cover 6, the hose 7 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 5, and the support sheet 4 moves forward and backward under the action of the linkage mechanism when the lifting frame 5 is lifted and lowered; after the support sheet 4 moves back into place, the lifting frame 5 drives the protective cover 6 to descend, the lower end of the protective cover 6 presses the filter membrane, and the hose 7 sprays deionized water onto the filter membrane.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the gripping mechanism includes a fixed frame 8, a movable plate 9 arranged on the fixed frame 8 and moving on the fixed frame 8, and a pneumatic clamp 10 arranged on the movable plate 9 and raised and lowered on the movable plate 9.

When the movable plate 9 moves forward and backward, the pneumatic clamp 10 rises and falls under the action of the first guide wheel 13 and the first guide hole 11. When the movable plate 9 moves to the rearmost end, the pneumatic clamp 10 descends under the action of the arc portion, and the pneumatic clamp 10 clamps the filter membrane. When the movable plate 9 moves to the frontmost end, the pneumatic clamp 10 descends under the action of the arc portion, and the pneumatic clamp 10 releases the filter membrane into the culture dish, thereby realizing the automatic removal of the filter membrane.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the support sheet 4 is provided with a support groove 14 that matches the filter membrane, and the inner wall of the support groove 14 is symmetrically provided with a clamping groove 15.

The lower end of the guide rod 21 is provided with a boss 23 that matches the inner wall of the sleeve 20. When the protective cover 6 descends, the lower end of the sleeve 20 first contacts the filter membrane, and then the lifting frame continues to descend, and the guide rod 21 overcomes the elastic force of the compression spring 22 and slides downward, ensuring that the protective cover 6 can press the filter membrane and prevent the water sample from leaking from the gap.

When the support sheet 4 is at the front end, the filter sheet is placed on the support sheet 4, and then the lifting frame 5 is lowered. Under the action of the inclined portion and the second guide wheel 27, the support sheet 4 slides backward. After the support sheet 4 moves back to the position, the second guide wheel 27 moves to the lowest end of the vertical portion, and then the lifting frame 5 continues to descend, and the protective cover 6 continues to descend, and the protective cover 6 presses the filter membrane; when the lifting frame 5 rises, under the action of the vertical portion and the second guide wheel 27, the protective cover 6 first rises, and then under the action of the inclined portion and the second guide wheel 27, the support sheet 4 slides forward. The lifting and lowering of the lifting frame 5 and the movement of the support plate 4 are linked by the mechanical structure, and there is no need to set up two driving mechanisms such as cylinders or motors, so the cost is low.

[0039] By providing the vertical portion, when the lifting frame 5 descends, the support sheet 4 moves into position first, and when the lifting frame 5 rises, the protective cover 6 rises first, ensuring that the protective cover 6 will not interfere with the forward and backward movement of the support sheet 4 when it is raised.
