Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of microorganism culture, and relates to an isolation bin for a loader switch cover. Background Art

[0002] A microorganism incubator is a common laboratory device, mainly used to provide a stable temperature environment, simulate the ideal conditions required for the growth of microorganisms, and thus promote the culture and reproduction of various microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, and mold. It can be used for microorganism culture tests in clinical medicine, scientific research, quality control, teaching experiments, and industrial production processes. During the culture process, it is necessary to detect the growth status of microorganisms in the loader.

[0003] When the loader is in the closed state, it is necessary to open the loader first for detection and then close the loader after the detection is completed. Since the microorganism incubator is in a closed state, if the loader is taken out of the incubator to detect the growth status of microorganisms, not only the internal culture environment of the incubator is destroyed, but also external bacteria will enter the loader, which is not conducive to the growth of microorganisms. There is no internal detection device compatible with the microorganism incubator in the prior art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to propose an isolation bin for a loader switch cover that can detect microorganisms inside a microorganism incubator in view of the above problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] The isolation bin for the loader switch cover includes a bin body with one side open. A tray for placing the loader is provided inside the bin body. Above the tray, there is an open - cover module for unlocking the lock of the loader, a photographing module for photographing the microorganisms inside the loader after it is opened, and a closing - cover module for closing the cover of the loader after photographing.

[0007] The bin body is communicated with the microorganism incubator. When it is necessary to detect the growth status of microorganisms in the loader, the mechanical gripper inside the microorganism incubator grabs the loader and places it on the tray through the open side. Subsequently, the open - cover module unlocks the lock of the loader, and the upper cover of the loader pops open under the action of its own torsion spring, making the loader in an open state. Then, the photographing module photographs the microorganisms inside the loader, and the growth status of the microorganisms is judged by comparison. Then, the closing - cover module closes the cover of the loader, and the loader is put back into the microorganism incubator through the mechanical gripper. The detection of the growth status of microorganisms is carried out in a closed environment, and external bacteria will not enter the microorganism incubator and the loader, and will not affect the growth of microorganisms.

[0008] In the above-mentioned loader switch cover isolation chamber, a linear module is provided inside the chamber body. A sliding seat driven by the linear module is slidably provided on the linear module. A support column is provided on the sliding seat, and the tray is fixed on the support column.

[0009] The linear module drives the tray to move between the open cover station, the photography station, and the close cover station. When the loader is at the open cover station, the open cover module can unlock the lock of the loader; when the loader is at the photography station, the photography module can take pictures of the microorganisms inside the loader; when the loader is at the close cover station, the close cover module closes the upper cover.

[0010] In the above-mentioned loader switch cover isolation chamber, the open cover module includes a vertically extending guide rail, a slider slidably provided on the guide rail, an open cover pressing plate provided on the slider, and a first lead screw motor for driving the open cover pressing plate to move up and down. A first positioning bead is provided on the open cover pressing plate and is arranged opposite to the lock of the loader at the open cover station.

[0011] When the first positioning bead presses the lock, the lock deviates to the side away from the upper cover, causing the lock to disengage from the limit of the upper cover. At this time, the upper cover opens under the action of the torsion spring. The lock has a certain elasticity and resets under its own elastic force when the first positioning bead disengages from the lock.

[0012] The positioning bead is a ball head plunger with a spring inside and is a kind of load device.

[0013] In the above-mentioned loader switch cover isolation chamber, the photography module includes an industrial camera and light bars. The loader at the photography station is located directly below the industrial camera, and there are two light bars respectively located on both sides of the loader at the photography station.

[0014] The light bars provide illumination so that the industrial camera can clearly capture the growth status of the microorganisms.

[0015] In the above-mentioned loader switch cover isolation chamber, the close cover module includes a close cover push rod hinged at the upper end inside the chamber body and a power structure for driving the close cover push rod to rotate. The rotation center line of the close cover push rod is parallel to the rotation center line of the upper cover of the loader, and the side of the close cover push rod facing the loader has a cambered surface for pressing against the upper cover.

[0016] When closing the cover, the loader moves to the close cover station under the action of the linear module. The power structure drives the close cover push rod to rotate, making the cambered surface approach and squeeze the upper cover, and finally the upper cover is closed on the loader. After being closed, the lock re-limits the upper cover.

[0017] In the above loader switch cover isolation bin, the power structure includes a second lead screw motor, a connector driven by the second lead screw motor, and a connecting shaft provided on the connector. The extending direction of the connecting shaft is parallel to the rotation center line of the lid closing push rod. A slot extending along the length direction of the lid closing push rod is provided on the lid closing push rod, and the connecting shaft is inserted into the slot.

[0018] When the second lead screw motor expands and contracts, it drives the connector and the connecting shaft to move together, and the connecting shaft slides in the slot, thereby driving the lid closing push rod to swing.

[0019] In the above loader switch cover isolation bin, a positioning bead connecting block is fixed to the lower end of the lid closing push rod, and a second positioning bead is provided on the positioning bead connecting block. When the lid closing module closes the loader lid, the second positioning bead abuts against the upper lid of the loader.

[0020] In the above loader switch cover isolation bin, a control interface for connecting to an electronic system is provided on the bin body, and the control interface is connected to the control modules of the linear module, the first lead screw motor, the second lead screw motor, and the industrial camera.

[0021] This control interface includes a data transmission interface and a motion control interface.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the loader switch cover isolation bin of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] The detection of the microbial growth condition is carried out in a closed environment, and external bacteria will not enter the microbial incubator and the loader, and will not affect the growth of microorganisms; automatic opening of the lid and automatic closing of the lid after photographing can be realized, and the degree of automation is high.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] like Figure 1 The loader switch cover isolation chamber shown in the figure includes a chamber body 1 with an open side, and a chamber door is hingedly connected to the side opposite to the open side of the chamber body 1 through a hinge. A sealing ring is arranged between the chamber door and the chamber body 1. After opening the chamber door, the structure inside the chamber body 1 can be disassembled and replaced, and the open side of the chamber body 1 is connected to the microbial incubator.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a tray 2 for placing the loader a is provided in the chamber 1, and the tray 2 has a receiving cavity adapted to the loader a to ensure that the position of the loader a is consistent each time. A clearance opening is provided on the tray 2 to make way for the mechanical gripper inside the microbial incubator.

[0034] A support plate is fixed in the bin body 1, on which are provided an opening module for unlocking the lock a1 of the loader a, a photographing module for photographing the microorganisms in the loader a after the cover is opened, and a closing module for closing the cover of the loader a after the cover is photographed.

[0035] When it is necessary to detect the growth status of microorganisms in loader a, the mechanical gripper inside the microbial incubator grabs loader a and places it on tray 2 through the opening, then the cover opening module unlocks the lock a1 on loader a, and the upper cover of loader a pops open under the action of its own torsion spring, so that loader a is in an open state, then the camera module takes pictures of the microorganisms in loader a, and determines the growth status of the microorganisms by comparison, then the cover closing module closes the cover of loader a, and then the mechanical gripper puts loader a back into the microbial incubator. The detection of microbial growth status is carried out in a closed environment, and external bacteria will not enter the microbial incubator and loader a, and will not affect the growth of microorganisms.

[0036] In order to move the loader a between the cover opening station, the photographing station and the cover closing station, as shown in FIG. Figure 1As shown in the figure, a linear module 3 is provided inside the bin body 1. A sliding seat 4 driven by the linear module 3 is slidably arranged on the linear module 3. A support column is provided on the sliding seat 4, and the tray 2 is fixed on the support column. When the loader a is in the open cover position, the open cover module can unlock the lock a1 of the loader a; when the loader a is in the photography position, the photography module can take pictures of the microorganisms inside the loader a; when the loader a is in the closed cover position, the closed cover module closes the upper cover.

[0037] As Figure 2 shown, the open cover module includes a vertically extending guide rail 5, a slider 6 slidably arranged on the guide rail 5, an open cover pressing plate 7 arranged on the slider 6, and a first lead screw motor 8 for driving the open cover pressing plate 7 to move up and down. The guide rail 5 is fixed on the support plate. A first positioning bead 9 opposite to the lock a1 of the loader a in the open cover position is arranged on the open cover pressing plate 7. The positioning bead is a ball head plunger, with a spring inside, and it is a load device.

[0038] As Figure 2 shown, when the first positioning bead 9 presses the lock a1, the lock a1 deviates to the side away from the upper cover, causing the lock a1 to disengage from the limit of the upper cover. At this time, the upper cover opens under the action of the torsion spring. The lock a1 has a certain elasticity and resets under its own elastic force when the first positioning bead 9 disengages from the lock a1.

[0039] As Figures 1-4 shown, the photography module includes an industrial camera 10 and a light bar 11. The loader a in the photography position is located directly below the industrial camera 10. There are two light bars 11, which are respectively located on both sides of the loader a in the photography position. The light bar 11 provides illumination so that the industrial camera 10 can clearly photograph the growth condition of the microorganisms.

[0040] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the closed cover module includes a closed cover push rod 12 hinged at the upper end inside the bin body 1 and a power structure for driving the closed cover push rod 12 to rotate. The rotation center line of the closed cover push rod 12 is parallel to the rotation center line of the upper cover of the loader a. The side of the closed cover push rod 12 facing the loader a has a cambered surface 13 for pressing against the upper cover. When closing the cover, the loader a moves to the closed cover position under the action of the linear module 3. The power structure drives the closed cover push rod 12 to rotate, making the cambered surface 13 approach and squeeze the upper cover, and finally making the upper cover cover the loader a. After the cover is closed, the lock a1 limits the upper cover again.

[0041] As Figure 4As shown, the power structure includes a second lead screw motor 14, a connector 15 driven by the second lead screw motor 14, and a connecting shaft 16 provided on the connector 15. The extending direction of the first lead screw motor 8 is parallel to the length direction of the linear module 3, and the extending direction of the connecting shaft 16 is parallel to the rotation center line of the cover closing push rod 12. A slot 17 extending along its length direction is provided on the cover closing push rod 12, and the connecting shaft 16 is inserted into the slot 17. When the second lead screw motor 14 expands and contracts, it drives the connector 15 and the connecting shaft 16 to move together, and the connecting shaft 16 slides in the slot 17, thereby driving the cover closing push rod 12 to swing.

[0042] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a positioning bead connecting block 18 is fixed to the lower end of the cover closing push rod 12, and a second positioning bead 19 is provided on the positioning bead connecting block 18. When the cover closing module closes the loader a, the second positioning bead 19 abuts against the upper cover of the loader a.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, a control interface 20 for connecting to an electronic system is provided at the top of the bin body 1. The control interface 20 includes a data transmission interface and a motion control interface. The control interface 20 is connected to the control modules of the linear module 3, the first lead screw motor 8, the second lead screw motor 14, and the industrial camera 10, and is used to control the actions of the linear module 3, the first lead screw motor 8, the second lead screw motor 14, and the industrial camera 10.
