[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 、 Figure 4 A kind of embodiment provided by the present utility model: A handheld automatic inoculator, including a storage bin 1, the left surface of the storage bin 1 is set as an inclined surface, and at the same time, its upper surface and the left surface form an angle of 120°, ensuring that the user can easily observe the marking line 6, improving the practicability. The left side of the bottom end of the inner wall of the storage bin 1 is threadedly connected with an inoculation tube 4. The left surface of the inoculation tube 4 is set as an inclined surface, making the right end of the inoculation tube 4 be an inclined tip, ensuring that it can be smoothly inserted into the culture bag, improving the practicability. A marking line 6 is arranged on the outer wall of the left end of the inoculation tube 4. Workers can observe whether the material is filled up through the marking line 6. A protection assembly 5 is arranged on the outer wall of the inoculation tube 4. A conveying assembly 3 is arranged at the bottom end of the inner wall of the storage bin 1. A handle 2 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the storage bin 1. The conveying assembly 3 includes a cover plate 33. The outer wall of the left end of the cover plate 33 is provided with threads and is adapted to the right side of the bottom end of the inner wall of the storage bin 1, ensuring the quickness of disassembly. The outer wall of the left end of the cover plate 33 is threadedly connected to the right side of the bottom end of the inner wall of the storage bin 1. A bearing 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cover plate 33.

[0031] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3, the protection component 5 includes a moving block 51. The upper surface of the moving block 51 is inclined. At the same time, the protection cover 52 moves along the inclined surface to prevent the opened protection cover 52 from blocking the worker's line of sight to observe the marking line 6. The moving block 51 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the inoculation tube 4. A plug rod 53 is slidably connected through the front surface of the moving block 51. A groove is formed on the front surface of the inoculation tube 4. The rear surface of the plug rod 53 contacts the inner wall of the groove. The plug rod 53 is adapted to the groove to ensure that the moving block 51 will not slide on the outer wall of the inoculation tube 4 and prevent it from blocking the marking line 6.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , Figure 4 , a long rod 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bearing 32. The long rod 31 enables the worker to manually feed the material and facilitates the control of the discharge amount. A screw conveyor 34 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the long rod 31. The screw conveyor 34 rotates on the inner wall of the bottom end of the storage bin 1. A hexagonal groove 35 is formed on the right surface of the long rod 31. A hand drill can be used in cooperation with a hexagonal wrench to insert into the inner wall of the hexagonal groove 35, which can improve the feeding speed through the hand drill.

[0033] Refer to Figure 2 - Figure 3 , a spring 54 is sleeved on the outer wall of the plug rod 53. The spring 54 always pulls the plug rod 53 backward through its own elasticity to ensure the stability of its limit. One end of the spring 54 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the moving block 51, and the other end of the spring 54 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the plug rod 53.

[0034] Refer to Figure 2 - Figure 3 , the protection component 5 further includes a protection cover 52. The right surface of the protection cover 52 contacts the left surface of the inoculation tube 4. A chute 56 is formed on the right surface of the protection cover 52. A slider 55 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute 56. The lower surface of the slider 55 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving block 51. The slider 55 and the chute 56 are in interference fit, and the interference fit prevents the protection cover 52 from sliding easily and can improve the stability of the protection cover 52.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, the bacterial species can be first placed in the storage bin 1. Hold the handle 2 with one hand and hold the hand drill with the other hand. Install a tool adapted to the hexagonal groove 35 on the hand drill and insert the tool into the inner wall of the hexagonal groove 35. Then align the inoculation tube 4 with the part of the bacterial bag to be inoculated and pierce it. Start the hand drill to drive the long rod 31 to rotate, and the long rod 31 will drive the screw conveyor 34 to rotate. In this way, the bacterial species inside the storage bin 1 can be sent out. The bacterial species will enter the culture bag through the inner wall of the inoculation tube 4. As the bacterial species enter the bag and fill it up, the bacterial species entering the culture bag will push the device outward until the marking line 6 on the outer wall of the left end of the inoculation tube 4 is seen, which indicates that the bacterial species have been fully inoculated. Then stop the hand drill and the inoculation is completed.

[0036] When the conveying assembly 3 needs to be disassembled, it is only necessary to rotate the cover plate 33, which will drive the outer ring of the bearing 32 to rotate. At the same time, since the cover plate 33 is connected to the storage bin 1 through the thread on the outer wall of its left end, the cover plate 33 can be separated from the storage bin 1 by repeatedly rotating the cover plate 33, so that the long rod 31, bearing 32, and auger 34 can be disassembled together, which is convenient for workers to clean the auger 34 and the inside of the storage bin 1. It is quick and convenient. When installing, the operating steps are the same as above, and the structural matching method is also the same as above.

[0037] After the inoculation is completed, the inoculation tube 4 is completely pulled out, and the protective cover 52 can be covered on the left surface of the inoculation tube 4, so that the product remaining in the inoculation tube 4 will not leak out. The operation method is to first pull the insertion rod 53, the insertion rod 53 will stretch the spring 54 until the insertion rod 53 is separated from the inner wall of the groove, and then push the moving block 51 to move, and the moving block 51 will drive the protective cover 52 to move until the protective cover 52 moves to the left side of the inoculation tube 4. At this time, the protective cover 52 can be pushed downward, so that the protective cover 52 can cover the left surface of the inoculation tube 4 to prevent the product from leaking. At this time, the insertion rod 53 will also overlap with another set of grooves. Loosen the insertion rod 53, and it will move in the opposite direction and reset through the elasticity of the spring 54. When opening, you only need to push the protective cover 52 to open it, and then release the limit of the insertion rod 53, drag the moving block 51 to the right end of the outer wall of the inoculation tube 4, and then limit it through the insertion rod 53. In this way, it can be ensured that the moving block 51 will not move, and the worker can clearly observe the marking line 6, thereby improving practicality.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
