Subsequently, the first spring 43 will release its elastic potential energy and make the top plate 44 squeeze the surface of the culture dish. When the top plate 44 moves, it will also drive the second elastic cloth 45 to fit the surface of the culture dish; when the culture dish squeezes the top plate 44, the top plate 44 will, under the elastic force of the first spring 43, closely adhere to the surface of the culture dish together with the second elastic cloth 45, realizing the fixation of the device to culture dishes of different shapes and different sizes and improving the flexibility of the device to fix culture dishes of different shapes and different sizes.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a suction cup 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top plate 44; the suction cups 5 are arranged in an arc array; when the culture dish contacts the top plate 44, the culture dish will also contact the suction cups 5 and squeeze the suction cups 5.

After being compressed, the second spring 62 will release elastic potential energy and apply an elastic force to the pressure ring 6. After receiving the elastic force of the second spring 62, the pressure ring 6 will press the middle part of the suction cup 5; through the cooperation of the pressure ring 6 and the second spring 62; after being pressed by the culture dish, the pressure ring 6 will press the middle part of the suction cup 5 under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 62, reducing the influence of external air on the suction cup 5, improving the airtightness of the suction cup 5 itself, and enhancing the adsorption effect of the suction cup 5 on the culture dish.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a rubber pad 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the second elastic cloth 45; the surface of the rubber pad 7 is an arc structure; when the second elastic cloth 45 contacts the culture dish, the rubber pad 7 will also contact the culture dish. Because the friction coefficient of the surface of the rubber pad 7 is larger, the friction force between the device and the culture dish will be increased.

[0032] Working principle: After the inoculation loop is dipped in the bacterial liquid, it can be sleeved inside the fixing ring 16. Subsequently, the inoculation loop will be fixed by the fixing ring 16. Then, the moving device makes the fixing mechanism 18 contact the culture dish and fixes the fixing mechanism 18. At this time, the distance between the inoculation loop and the culture dish will always remain the same. Then, the staff can move the inoculation loop around to make the bacterial liquid evenly distributed in the culture dish. When the inoculation loop moves, it will drive the fixing ring 16 to move together. When the fixing ring 16 moves along the second telescopic rod 15, the lengths of the two second telescopic rods 15 will change and cause the first telescopic rod 14 to slide along the first chute 12. When the fixing ring 16 moves along the first telescopic rod 14, the lengths of the two first telescopic rods 14 will also change and the second telescopic rod 15 will also slide along the second chute 13; Before the inoculation loop is sleeved in the fixing ring 16, the side wall of the inoculation loop will contact the guiding plate 22 and slide down along the surface of the guiding plate 22 into the interior of the first elastic cloth 2. Subsequently, the inoculation loop will enter the fixing ring 16 along the first elastic cloth 2 and be fixed by the fixing ring 16; When the inoculation loop passes through the first elastic cloth 2, the inoculation loop will contact the sponge 3, and the sponge 3 will absorb the sweat on the surface of the inoculation loop, reducing the interference of sweat on the inoculation process; When the clamping plate 4 contacts the culture dish, the top plate 44 will contact the culture dish and be squeezed by the culture dish. The top plate 44 will transmit the pressure to the first spring 43 and make the first spring 43 in a compressed state. Subsequently, the first spring 43 will release its elastic potential energy and make the top plate 44 squeeze the surface of the culture dish. When the top plate 44 moves, it will also drive the second elastic cloth 45 to fit the surface of the culture dish; When the culture dish contacts the top plate 44, the culture dish will also contact the suction cup 5 and squeeze the suction cup 5. After the suction cup 5 is squeezed, the air inside will be discharged, and under the action of atmospheric pressure, the suction cup 5 will adsorb the surface of the culture dish; When the culture dish squeezes the suction cup 5, the culture dish will also squeeze the pressing ring 6. After the pressing ring 6 is squeezed, it will transmit the pressure to the second spring 62 and make the second spring 62 in a compressed state. After the second spring 62 is compressed, it will release its elastic potential energy and apply an elastic force to the pressing ring 6. After the pressing ring 6 receives the elastic force of the second spring 62, it will squeeze the middle part of the suction cup 5; When the second elastic cloth 45 contacts the culture dish, the rubber pad 7 will also contact the culture dish. Because the friction coefficient of the surface of the rubber pad 7 is larger, it will increase the friction between the device and the culture dish.
