Generally, the components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0014] Embodiment 1, in combination with Figure 1-3 A liquid bacterial inoculation gun comprises a cylinder 1, a piston 2, and an inoculation needle 3, wherein the piston 2 is sealingly and slidably connected to the cylinder 1, a channel 1 4 is provided at the front end of the cylinder 1, a joint 5 is connected to the front end of the cylinder 1, a channel 2 6 connected to the channel 1 4 is provided in the joint 5, a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet communicated with the channel 2 6 are provided in the joint 5, a one-way valve 1 7 is provided at the liquid inlet, a one-way valve 2 8 is provided at the liquid outlet, and the one-way valve 2 8 is connected to the inoculation needle 3; the piston 2 is fixedly connected to a piston rod 9, and a gun handle 1 is provided at the rear of the cylinder 1 0, the gun handle 10 is provided with a driving mechanism for pushing and pulling the piston rod 9, an adjusting knob 11 is provided between the gas cylinder 1 and the gun handle 10, the adjusting knob 11 is threadedly connected with an adjusting screw 12, the middle of the adjusting screw 12 is provided with a through hole for the piston rod 9 to pass through, the rear end of the gas cylinder 1 is provided with a through hole for the adjusting screw 12 to pass through, the gun handle 10 is provided with a through hole for the adjusting screw 12 and the piston rod 9 to pass through, the adjusting screw 12 is slidably connected to the gun handle 10, and the thickness of the adjusting knob 11 is adapted to the distance between the gas cylinder 1 and the gun handle 10. The one-way valve 17 is provided with a connecting pipe 16.

[0015] When in use, based on the principle of pressure difference, the bacterial liquid bottle containing bacterial liquid is connected to the connecting pipe 16 through a hose, and the piston rod 9 is pushed and pulled through the driving mechanism, and then the piston 2 is pushed and pulled. When the piston 2 moves backward, the pressure in the cylinder 1 decreases, and the bacterial liquid enters the cylinder 1 through the one-way valve 1 7. When the piston 2 moves forward, the pressure in the cylinder 1 increases, and the bacterial liquid in the cylinder 1 is sprayed out through the one-way valve 2 8 and the inoculation needle 3. The sharp needle tip of the inoculation needle 3 can easily penetrate the solid culture medium, so that the bacterial liquid can be accurately injected into the target part. Among them, by rotating the adjustment knob 11, the adjustment screw 12 is moved, and the distance that the adjustment screw 12 extends into the cylinder 1 is changed, so as to adjust the maximum position that the piston 2 can move backward, and then adjust the maximum volume of the bacterial liquid that can be inhaled, and accurately control the inoculation amount, avoid the errors that may occur during the manual inoculation process, and ensure the accuracy of the results.

[0016] The driving mechanism includes a handle 13, a U-shaped bracket 14 fixedly connected to the upper end of the handle 13, and a U-shaped plate 15 rotatably connected to the U-shaped bracket 14. The two wing rods of the U-shaped bracket 14 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the gun handle 10. The two wing plates of the U-shaped plate 15 are rotatably connected to the two wing rods of the U-shaped bracket 14 respectively. The web of the U-shaped plate 15 is provided with a through hole with a diameter larger than the diameter of the piston rod 9. The rear end of the piston rod 9 passes through the through hole provided with the U-shaped plate 15 and its rear end is provided with a thread. The rear end of the piston rod 9 is threadedly connected with a pressure plate. By pressing the handle 13 by hand, the U-shaped plate 15 is driven to move backward. After the web of the U-shaped plate 15 contacts the pressure plate, the piston rod 9 is driven to move backward, so that the piston 2 moves backward and the bacterial liquid is sucked in. When the pressure plate is pressed, the piston rod 9 can be pushed to move forward, so that the piston 2 moves forward and the bacterial liquid is discharged.

[0017] The inoculation needle 3 is threadedly connected to the one-way valve 8, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0018] The joint 5 is threadedly connected to the gas cylinder 1, and is easy to install and disassemble.

[0019] The connecting end surface of the gas cylinder 1 connected to the joint 5 is provided with an O-shaped groove, and an O-shaped sealing ring 17 is arranged in the O-shaped groove to increase the sealing performance and avoid leakage.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "overhanging" and the like do not mean that the components must be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
