When the device is in use, after adding a sample to one of the culture wells 3, a pressing button 4 is pressed to trigger the marking component, so that a first spring drives a marking frame 9 to pop out, and a red card plate 10 inside the marking frame 9 is relatively eye-catching, which can remind a staff member that the culture well 3 has been loaded with samples, and then the adjusting component is used to adjust part of the positioning component to the top of a row of culture wells 3 for designated sample loading for positioning, and the Arabic numerals printed on the positioning component are used to remind the staff member that the row of culture wells 3 is being loaded with samples. The device has a simple structure and is easy to operate, and can effectively locate and mark the culture wells 3 for sample loading, so that it is easier for the staff member to judge which well has been loaded with liquid medicine, thereby ensuring the experimental results.

[0019] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the marking component includes multiple groups of movable grooves opened at the top of the culture rack 2, and a pressure button 4 is slidably connected to the inner side of the movable groove. An abutting groove is opened inside the culture rack 2 at one side of the movable groove, and an abutting block 5 slidably connected to the abutting groove is installed at one end of the pressure button 4. Reset springs 6 are installed between the two ends of one side of the abutting block 5 and the inner wall of the abutting groove. A card slot is opened inside the culture rack 2 at one side of the abutting groove, and the abutting groove is communicated with the inner side of the card slot. A card block 7 is slidably connected to the inner side of the card slot. A connecting groove is opened on one side of the culture rack 2, and a connecting plate 8 is carded on the inner side of the connecting groove. The connecting groove is communicated with the inner side of the card slot, and one end of the card block 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 8. First, press the pressure button 4 on one side of the culture well 3 where the sample has been added, so that the abutting block 5 retracts and squeezes the reset spring 6. After the raised end of the abutting block 5 is separated from the U-shaped recessed part of the card block 7, the first spring loses resistance and cooperates with the connecting plate 8 to drive the card block 7 and the marking frame 9 to pop out, and the red card plate 10 is displayed to achieve the marking effect.

[0020] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the positive cross-section of the card block 7 of the side section of the abutment block 5 is "U"-shaped, and the end where the card block 7 and the abutment block 5 are abutted is provided with inclined surfaces that fit each other, a marking frame 9 is installed on one side of the connecting plate 8, and a mounting groove slidably connected to the marking frame 9 is provided on one side of the culture rack 2, a first spring is installed between the other end of the marking frame 9 and the inner wall of the mounting groove, and a card plate 10 is embedded and installed on the inner side of the marking frame 9, and then, the pressing button 4 is pressed again, and then the connecting plate 8 is pressed to let the first spring retract again, so that the card block 7 is stuck in the slot, so that the inclined surfaces of the card block 7 and the abutment block 5 abut against each other, forcing the abutment block 5 to retract and squeeze the reset spring 6, and after the card block 7 is fully stuck, the protruding end of the abutment block 5 pops out and abuts against the recessed part of the card block 7 to prevent its movement, and at the same time, the marking frame 9 enters the inner side of the mounting groove to complete the reset.

[0021] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the adjustment component includes a mounting rod 11 fixedly connected to one end of the top of the placement frame 1, an adjustment cylinder 12 is installed on the outer side of one end of the mounting rod 11, an adjustment groove is opened on one side of the adjustment cylinder 12, a threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the adjustment groove, an adjustment plate 14 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 13, the adjustment plate 14 is slidably connected to the adjustment groove, one end of the adjustment cylinder 12 is rotatably connected to a handle 15, one end of the handle 15 extends to the inner side of the adjustment groove and is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 13, the positioning component includes a plurality of groups of first positioning plates 16 arranged and installed on the adjustment plate 14, and the first positioning plates 16 are arranged and installed on the adjustment plate 14. An indicating arrow 17 is installed at the bottom end of the positioning plate 16, and a plurality of second positioning plates 18 corresponding to the positions of the culture holes 3 are arranged on one side of the inner wall of the placement rack 1. Arabic numerals are printed on the top surfaces of the first positioning plate 16 and the second positioning plate 18, and the surface of the card plate 10 is coated with red paint. Furthermore, the rotating handle 15 drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate, so that the adjustment plate 14 slides on the inside of the adjustment groove, and then drives the first positioning plate 16 to move. When the indicating arrow 17 is located above a row of culture holes 3 where samples need to be added, the movement can be stopped, thereby prompting the personnel that samples are currently being added to the row of culture holes 3.

[0022] The implementation principle of the sample loading and positioning device for a cell culture plate of the present application embodiment is as follows: the push button 4 on one side of the sample loaded culture hole 3 is pressed to allow the abutment block 5 to retract and squeeze the reset spring 6. After the protruding end of the abutment block 5 is separated from the U-shaped recess of the clamping block 7, the first spring loses resistance and cooperates with the connecting plate 8 to drive the clamping block 7 and the marking frame 9 to pop out, and the red clamping plate 10 is displayed to achieve the marking effect. The push button 4 is pressed again, and then the connecting plate 8 is pressed to allow the first spring to retract again, so that the clamping block 7 is clamped into the clamping slot, so that the clamping block 7 and the abutment block 5 are connected. The inclined surfaces of the two abut against each other, forcing the abutment block 5 to retract and squeeze the reset spring 6. After the block 7 is fully inserted, the protruding end of the abutment block 5 pops out and abuts against the recessed part of the block 7 to block its movement. At the same time, the marking frame 9 enters the inner side of the installation groove to complete the reset. The rotating handle 15 drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate, so that the adjustment plate 14 slides on the inner side of the adjustment groove, and then drives the first positioning plate 16 to move. When the indicator arrow 17 is located above the row of culture holes 3 where samples need to be added, it can stop, which has the effect of reminding the personnel that samples are currently being added to the row of culture holes 3.
