[0022] The following will describe the implementation methods of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the implementation process of how the present application applies technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0024] Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention. The specific problem addressed by this embodiment is that currently, finished medical culture vessels are generally transported by belt conveyor equipment to a packaging location. In order to save space, the culture vessels are usually stacked. However, existing conveyor equipment cannot complete the stacking of culture vessels. Generally, manual stacking or the use of specialized stacking equipment such as a robot 52 is required, resulting in high production costs. Based on the existing situation that after the culture vessels are output from the conveyor belt 6, they will produce subsequent stacking operations, thereby adding extra steps in the production process of the culture vessels, this solution proposes a production equipment that produces a stacking effect on the culture vessels during the transmission process, that is, a production equipment for culture vessels, which uses an intercepting member 4 set on the conveyor belt 6 to intercept the transmission of the culture vessels, causing the culture vessels located at the position of the intercepting member 4 to stagnate, thereby allowing the culture vessels to stagnate on the conveyor belt 6 and facilitate the manipulator 52 to adsorb the culture vessels. After the culture vessels are adsorbed by the manipulator 52, they are stacked longitudinally along the intercepting member 4 and Xining, and then can reach a bagging state after being output from the conveyor belt 6, reducing subsequent stacking steps and increasing output efficiency.

[0025] This solution describes a production device for culture vessels, specifically using a support frame 1 to provide support for the structure mounted thereon. The support frame 1 is provided with a conveyor belt 6 to synchronously drive the culture vessels from one end of the support frame 1 to the other. The support frame 1 is provided with a front-to-back symmetrical side panel 1 2 and a side panel 2 3. The side panel 1 2 is taller than the side panel 2 3. The side panel 1 2 is provided with an intercepting member 4 for intercepting the conveying culture vessels. A stacking member 5, which cooperates with the intercepting member 4 to stack the culture vessels in layers, is provided. First, the intercepting member 4 intercepts the culture vessels, causing them to stop following the movement of the conveyor belt 6. At this point, during actual use, the conveyor belt 6 is powered off to reduce friction between the conveyor belt surface and the bottom of the culture vessels. The stacking member 5 then stacks the culture vessels toward the intercepting member 4 until they reach a predetermined height. The intercepting member 4 then pivots to disengage from intercepting the culture vessels. As a result, multiple culture vessels are stacked and output out of the conveyor belt 6, leaving the production equipment and entering the bagging and packaging process.

[0026] To enhance the consistency of the stacking position, an intercepting member 4 is provided to cooperate with the stacking member 5. The intercepting member 4 includes a rotating shaft 41 mounted on the side plate 1 2. A control compartment 45 is provided at the end of the side plate 1 2 facing away from the side plate 2 3. A driver for driving the rotating shaft 41 is connected to the control compartment 45. In this embodiment, the driver is specifically a drive motor coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 41. An intercepting plate 42 is mounted on the rotating shaft 41 to limit the transmission of the culture vessels to the output end. The intercepting plate 42 rotates toward the side plate 2 3 with the rotating shaft 41 as the rotation center. The spacing between the side plates 1 2 and 2 3 is less than the structural length of the intercepting plate 42. A limiting slot 43 is provided on the side plate 2 3 at the rotation radius of the intercepting plate 42. When the intercepting plate 42 rotates to connect with the conveyor belt 6, one end of the intercepting plate 42 is placed in the limiting slot 43.

[0027] The stacking member 5 includes a linear slide 51 installed on the side plate 2 3 for increasing the sliding track. The installation position of the linear slide 51 is offset from the rotating circumference of the intercepting plate 42. A manipulator 52 for adsorbing the culture vessel is installed on the free end of the linear slide 51. A track 7 for driving the manipulator 52 body to move up and down and adjust the distance with the culture vessel is installed between the free end of the linear slide 51 and the manipulator 52. In this embodiment, the track 7 can use the linear slide 51 to achieve the purpose of driving the manipulator 52 to move up and down. The manipulator 52 includes a manipulator 52 body and an adsorption plate 53 installed on its free end. A number of vacuum suction cups are installed on the adsorption plate 53. A docking block 54 is provided at one end of the adsorption plate 53. A docking groove 44 adapted to the setting position of the docking block 54 is provided at one end of the intercepting plate 42. A number of laser sensors 46 are installed inside the docking groove 44, which are arranged equidistantly from top to bottom. The opening width of the docking groove 44 is equal to the structural width of the docking block 54. After the manipulator 52 body is driven by the linear slide rail 51 and moves to the specified position, the horizontality of the adsorption plate 53 is ensured by aligning the docking block 54 with the docking groove 44, thereby increasing the alignment during the stacking process and reducing the risk of collapse. In addition, the laser sensor 46 installed in the docking groove 44 judges the stacking height of the culture vessels according to the deep position of the docking block 54 in the docking groove 44 and the height judgment of the laser sensor 46 when it cannot receive feedback light.

[0028] The control method of the present invention is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field. The provision of power is also common knowledge in this field. In addition, the present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection are no longer explained in detail in the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements that are inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
