Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Example:
[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the high-throughput immune cell cloning and culture robot includes a base 1, a material plate 2 and a culture tube 3. A robot arm 102 is fixed to one side of the top of the base 1, and the robot arm 102 is used to process multiple culture tubes 3 one by one. A vertical plate 104 is symmetrically arranged on the other side of the top of the base 1. A cavity is formed between the two vertical plates 104 to prevent the material plate 2 from hitting the culture tube 3 during installation. The material plates 2 are evenly arranged on the upper surfaces of the two vertical plates 104. Through holes for placing the culture tube 3 are evenly opened on the surface of the material plate 2. The culture tube 3 is vertically arranged to achieve the same upper surface of multiple culture tubes 3 by installing or removing the material plate 2. For unloading, lower extension plates 201 are provided under both sides of the material plate 2. The two lower extension plates 201 are respectively placed on the outside of the two vertical plates 104 to improve the stability of the material plate 2. A handle 202 is provided under the outer surface of the lower extension plate 201 to facilitate the operation of the material plate 2. A mounting hole 203 is provided on the inner surface of the lower extension plate 201. A limiting bolt 204 slides through the inside of the mounting hole 203. Positioning holes 105 are evenly provided on the outer surface of the vertical plate 104. The end of the limiting bolt 204 is matched with the internal size of the positioning hole 105. The cooperation between the two can realize the fixation of the material plate 2 and the machine base 1, which facilitates the positioning of the robot arm 102.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a connecting rod 205 is provided at one end of the limiting bolt 204 away from the positioning hole 105, and the connecting rod 205 passes through the outer surface of the lower extension plate 201, and an I-head 207 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 205 away from the limiting bolt 204, and the I-head 207 is placed on the outer side of the lower extension plate 201. A spring 206 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 205, and the spring 206 is placed inside the mounting hole 203. One end of the spring 206 is in contact with the limiting bolt 204. The elastic force of the spring 206 is utilized to make the limiting bolt 204 automatically cooperate with the positioning hole 105 after the material plate 2 is installed in place, so as to realize the limiting work of the material plate 2. The end of the limiting bolt 204 can be set to a hemispherical shape to guide during installation.
[0025] Among them, the outer surface of the lower extension plate 201 is symmetrically provided with support plates 208, and the support plates 208 are placed under the I-head 207. A rotating shaft 209 is rotatably installed between the two support plates 208. A U-shaped plug-in rod 210 is provided on the upper surface of the rotating shaft 209. The U-shaped plug-in rod 210 is stuck on the surface of the I-head 207. A control pressure plate 211 is provided on the lower surface of the rotating shaft 209. The control pressure plate 211 is placed on the inner side of the handle 202. When disassembling the material plate 2, hold the handle 202 and press the control pressure plate 211 to drive the U-shaped plug-in rod 210 to pull out the limit bolt 204 to realize the disassembly work.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 A control panel 101 is embedded on one side of the front surface of the base 1, and an alarm 103 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the base 1.
[0027] Working principle: Place multiple culture tubes 3 on the surface of the material plate 2 respectively, and place multiple material plates 2 on the upper surface of the two vertical plates 104, and ensure that the culture tubes 3 are open upward. Due to the presence of the spring 206, the limit bolt 204 always has an inward force. After the material plate 2 is installed in place, it can be kept fixed by the cooperation between the limit bolt 204 and the positioning hole 105, so as to facilitate the precise positioning of the robot arm 102. The culture tubes 3 are added one by one through the robot arm 102. When the operation of a single material plate 2 is completed, the culture tubes 3 on another material plate 2 can be moved in and out. At this time, the material plate 2 after the work is completed can be replaced through the two handles 202. Hold the handle 202 and press the control pressure plate 211. At this time, the U-shaped pull-out rod 210 can be driven to rotate outward by the rotation of the rotating shaft 209, so as to drive the I-head 207 to move outward and disengage from the positioning hole 105. At this time, the material plate 2 can be lifted to achieve separation.
