[0037] A plurality of bases 4 are fixedly arranged on the top surface of the strip plate 16 along its length direction, and a sink groove is provided on the top surface of each base 4. A culture dish 6 is placed in the sink groove of each base 4, and the depth of the sink groove is less than the height of the culture dish, and the sink groove matches the outer contour of the culture dish.
[0038] A square groove is formed in the first movable plate 14 , and the square groove of the first movable plate 14 is sleeved on the square rod 12 ; a groove is formed on the left end surface of the first movable plate 14 , and the first magnetic block 15 is embedded in the groove and has an interference fit with the groove.
[0039] The working process of the utility model is as follows:
[0040] S1. The staff opens the electric cylinder 7, the piston rod of the electric cylinder 7 drives the connecting plate 8 to move rightward, the connecting plate 8 drives the stepping motor 9 to move rightward, the stepping motor 9 drives the rotating shaft 10 to move rightward, the rotating shaft 10 drives the connecting block 11 to move rightward, the connecting block 11 drives the box door 2 to move rightward, and the box door 2 moves away from the box body 1. Figure 8 As shown, the box door 2 drives each square rod 12 to move rightward synchronously, the square rod 12 drives the strip plate 16 to move rightward, the strip plate 16 drives the base 4 to move rightward synchronously, and the base 4 drives the culture dish 6 therein to move rightward; when the piston rod of the electric cylinder 7 is fully extended, the staff closes the electric cylinder 7;
[0041] S2. The staff turns on the stepper motor 9, the stepper motor 9 drives the shaft 10 to rotate, the shaft 10 drives the connecting block 11 to rotate, the connecting block 11 drives the box door 2 to rotate on the horizontal plane, the box door 2 drives each square rod 12 to rotate on the horizontal plane, the square rod 12 drives the strip plate 16 to rotate synchronously, the strip plate 16 drives the culture dish 6 to rotate on the horizontal plane, when the culture dish 6 rotates to the right side of the box door 2, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the staff turns off the stepper motor 9, at which time, each culture dish 6 is outside the inner cavity of the box body 1;
[0042] S3, the staff pulls one of the strip plates 16 to the right to separate the second magnetic block 18 from the iron plate 13. After separation, the strip plate 16 is continued to be pulled to the right, and the strip plate 16 drives the culture dish 6 thereon to move to the right. At the same time, the strip plate 16 drives the first movable plate 14 to move to the right along the length direction of the square rod 12, and the first movable plate 14 drives the first magnetic block 15 thereon to move to the right synchronously, until the first magnetic block 15 is adsorbed and fixed on the iron plate 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 10~Figure 11 As shown, the first movable plate 14 is fixed, and then the strip plate 16 is fixed. At this time, each culture dish 6 on the strip plate 16 is outside the upper and lower strip plates 16; the staff takes away the culture dishes 6 exposed outside, and the direction of taking away is as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown by the middle arrow; after being taken away, the staff pushes the strip plate 16 to the left to reset the strip plate 16 to the left;
[0043] S4. The staff repeats the operation of step S3 for multiple times to remove the culture dishes on other strip plates 16, thereby finally achieving sampling of each culture dish 6.
[0044] Among them, it can be seen from step S2 that since each culture dish 6 is outside the box 1, when sampling the culture dish 6, there is no need for the staff to probe or reach out to take the culture dish 6 from the box 1, compared with Figure 1~Figure 3 The incubator shown greatly reduces the workload of the staff and shortens the sampling time of a single culture dish 6 , thereby greatly improving the sampling efficiency of the culture dish 6 .
[0045] In addition, it can be seen from step S3 that the pulled out strip plate 16 is outside the other strip plates 16, so that the culture dishes 6 thereon are all outside the upper and lower strip plates 16, avoiding the upper and lower strip plates 16 hindering the staff's sampling, thereby facilitating the staff's sampling of the culture dishes 6, further reducing the staff's work intensity, and further improving the sampling efficiency of the culture dishes 6.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
