Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biological vaccine technology, specifically to an inoculation module. Background Technology
[0002] In vaccine production, chicken embryo vaccine production is labor-intensive, prone to contamination, and involves a complex production environment. The use of inoculation machines reduces the contamination rate in the production process, improves product quality, and ensures uniform product quality. Conventional chicken embryo inoculation machines are equipped with inoculation modules for hatching and inoculation. For example, the invention patent with application number 202122350982.5 discloses a needle-type chicken embryo inoculation machine. After each inoculation, the perforated needle and the injection needle are inserted into a sterilization tube filled with disinfectant for immersion sterilization. This sterilization method may result in insufficient internal sterilization, and eggshell residue may remain inside the hatching needle, affecting the next hatching use. In addition, during inoculation, egg trays come in various sizes, accommodating 36 or 72 eggs, etc., requiring the entire tray to be replaced when inoculating different egg trays, which is inconvenient to disassemble. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an inoculation module that provides more thorough disinfection, improves production quality, and features a lightweight structure with quick-release components for easy disassembly and maintenance.
[0004] Specifically, this invention discloses an inoculation module, comprising:
[0005] The lifting assembly includes: a mounting bracket and a lifting plate, wherein the mounting bracket is provided with an up-and-down drive assembly;

[0007] The disinfection assembly includes: a flow equalization tube connected to multiple liquid outlet tubes, the liquid outlet tubes being connected to the shell-breaking needle.
[0008] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are that the disinfection component is set up to disinfect the inside of the piercing needle and the inside of the inoculation needle. Compared with the immersion disinfection in the existing technology, the disinfection is more thorough and avoids clogging of the piercing needle. At the same time, the quick-release design facilitates maintenance.
[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of liquid outlets are arranged on the lower side of the flow equalization tube, the liquid outlets are connected to the liquid outlet tube, and the liquid outlet tube surrounds the upper side of the flow equalization tube as a whole, forming a liquid storage section on the lower side of the flow equalization tube.
[0010] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the disinfectant first enters the equalization tube and then flows out through the outlet tube. The equalization tube plays a role in distribution, so that disinfectant flows out of each outlet tube, and each needle is disinfected. The liquid storage section formed by the outlet tube can store a portion of the disinfectant before it flows into the outlet tube. At this time, the inlet continues to inject liquid, and the outlet tube distributes the disinfectant evenly, achieving an equal amount of disinfection.

[0019] Furthermore, movable side plates are provided on both sides of the first movable plate, and a second receiving plate for fixing the second mounting plate is provided opposite to the movable side plate. A second pressure plate is provided on the second receiving plate.
[0020] The advantages of the above technical solution are that the second receiving plate has two ends for receiving the second mounting plate. After the second mounting plate is placed on the first receiving plate, the second pressure plate can be used to press down the first mounting plate to allow the second mounting plate to move. When replacement is required, the gap between the second pressure plate and the second mounting plate can be increased, and the second mounting plate can be pulled out from the side to achieve quick disassembly and reduce disassembly time. At the same time, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are connected and disassembled together, which can greatly reduce the time for individual disassembly.
[0021] Furthermore, the shell-breaking needle is an integral piece, comprising a shell-breaking needle body and a shell-breaking needle tip. The shell-breaking needle body is provided with a disinfection chamber, which is connected to the shell-breaking needle tip.

[0023] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is provided with a movable block.
[0024] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that the moving block is set to connect with the inoculation machine and drive the inoculation module to move, which is suitable for different usage environments.
[0025] Furthermore, the inoculation needle is connected to a peristaltic pump and a seed virus assembly, and the seed virus assembly is connected to a seed virus container.

[0040] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are that the disinfection component is set to disinfect the inside of the shell-breaking needle 6 and the inside of the inoculation needle 5. Compared with the existing technology that only performs soaking disinfection, the disinfection is more thorough and avoids clogging of the shell-breaking needle 6. At the same time, the quick-release design facilitates maintenance.
