Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The following combination Figures 1 to 7 , describing the mixing system provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] Specifically, the mixing system includes a mounting base 1 , a first driving device 2 , a gripping assembly 3 and a second driving device 4 .

[0040] The mounting base 1 is used to carry a container, including but not limited to a petri dish. A first drive device 2 is connected to the mounting base 1 and is used to drive the mounting base 1 to move, for example, the first drive device 2 can drive the mounting base 1 to rotate, reciprocate, or swing.

[0041] The second driving device 4 is connected to the grabbing assembly 3 and is used to drive the grabbing assembly 3 to switch between the first position and the second position. The grabbing assembly 3 is used to grab the cover.

[0042] Specifically, in the first position, the gripping assembly 3 is close to the mounting base 1 to grip or place the lid of the container. In the second position, the gripping assembly 3 is away from the mounting base 1 relative to the first position.

[0043] In this embodiment, during use, a container is placed on the mounting base 1. The second drive device 4 drives the gripping assembly 3 to the first position. After the gripping assembly 3 grasps the container lid, the second drive device 4 drives the gripping assembly 3 to the second position, thereby opening the lid. Culture medium is then placed in the container. The second drive device 4 drives the gripping assembly 3 to the first position again. The gripping assembly 3 places the lid on the container, and the second drive device 4 drives the gripping assembly 3 to the second position again. Finally, the first drive device 2 drives the mounting base 1, causing the mounting base 1 to drive the container.

[0044] The mixing device provided by the present invention can carry a container through a mounting seat 1, and the mounting seat 1 is driven to move by a first driving device 2, so that the mounting seat 1 can shake the container to mix the culture medium in the container. The grabbing assembly 3 is driven by a second driving device 4 to move to a first position and close to the mounting seat 1, so that the grabbing assembly 3 can grab or place the cover of the container. The grabbing assembly 3 is driven by the second driving device 4 to move to a second position and away from the mounting seat 1, so that the cover is opened or reset. In this way, the grabbing assembly 3 can be driven to move by the second driving device 4 to open or close the cover, without the need for manual operation to open or close the cover, thereby reducing manual intervention and improving the degree of automation of the mixing system.

[0045] refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the mixing system further comprises a support 5 , and the mounting base 1 is movably disposed on the support 5 . The first driving device 2 is mounted on the support 5 .

[0046] In this embodiment, by arranging the mounting base 1 and the first driving device 2 on the support 5, the mounting base 1, the first driving device 2 and the support 5 can be arranged or transferred as a whole, thereby improving the integration level of the hybrid system.

[0047] refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the mounting base 1 is rotatably connected to the support 5. The first drive device 2 includes a first rotation drive device 201, which is transmission-connected to the mounting base 1 and is used to drive the mounting base 1 to rotate. For example, the hybrid system also includes a transmission shaft 204, through which the mounting base 1 is rotatably connected to the support 5, and the first rotation drive device 201 is transmission-connected to the mounting base 1 via the transmission shaft 204. The first rotation drive device 201 is configured as an electric motor, a pneumatic motor, or a hydraulic motor.

[0048] In this embodiment, during the mixing process, the first rotation driving device 201 drives the mounting base 1 to rotate, and the mounting base 1 drives the container to rotate, so that the culture medium in the container is mixed.

[0049] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the support 5 includes a base 501, a support rod 502 and an adapter 503. Wherein, the base 501 is configured as a bent plate structure, and the bent plate includes a connecting plate and support plates arranged on both sides of the connecting plate. The first rotation drive device 201 is arranged in the space surrounded by the connecting plate and the support plate, and is connected to the connecting plate. In this way, on the one hand, the first rotation drive device 201 can be protected, and on the other hand, the internal space of the base 501 can be fully utilized, making the structure of the mixing device more compact. The number of support rods 502 is set to multiple, and the support rods 502 are all connected between the support plate of the base 501 and the adapter 503. The transmission shaft 204 is rotatably connected to the adapter 503, and the mounting base 1 is located on the side of the adapter 503 away from the base 501, and the mounting base 1 is connected to the transmission shaft 204.

[0050] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the mounting base 1 is arranged eccentrically relative to the rotation axis of the first rotation drive device 201, so that the container can rotate eccentrically relative to the rotation axis of the first rotation drive device 201, that is, the center of the container is arranged eccentrically relative to the rotation axis of the first rotation drive device 201.

[0051] In this embodiment, the center of the container is eccentrically arranged relative to the rotation axis of the first rotation drive device 201 by eccentrically arranging the mounting seat 1 relative to the rotation axis of the first rotation drive device 201. The eccentric arrangement can enable the container to generate greater centrifugal force during rotation, thereby promoting more thorough mixing of the culture medium. During eccentric rotation, the fluid in the container will be subjected to greater shear force, which helps to break up aggregates in the culture medium and disperse the cells or microorganisms more evenly.

[0052] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the transmission shaft 204 can be set as an eccentric shaft, and the eccentric shaft includes a first shaft section and a second shaft section arranged eccentrically. The first shaft section is connected to the first rotation drive device 201, and the first shaft section is rotatably connected to the support 5. The second shaft section is connected to the mounting base 1. Of course, the transmission shaft 204 is not limited to being set as the eccentric shaft 202. For example, referring to Figure 3As shown, in other embodiments provided by the present invention, the transmission shaft 204 can also be set as a straight shaft, which is rotatably connected to the support 5, one end of the straight shaft is connected to the first rotation drive device 201, and the mounting seat 1 is connected to the other end of the straight shaft, and the mounting seat 1 is eccentrically arranged relative to the straight shaft. For example, the mounting seat 1 can be connected to the end face of the straight shaft by a threaded fastener.

[0053] It is understood that the mounting base 1 is not limited to being rotatably connected to the support 5. For example, referring to Figure 5 As shown, in other embodiments provided by the present invention, the mounting base 1 is slidably connected to the support 5. The mounting base 1 is provided with a slide groove 104, which intersects or is not aligned with the sliding direction of the mounting base 1, for example, the slide groove 104 is perpendicular to the sliding direction.

[0054] The first drive device 2 includes a first rotation drive device 201 and an eccentric shaft 202. One end of the eccentric shaft 202 is connected to the first rotation drive device 201, and the other end of the eccentric shaft 202 is inserted into the chute 104 and slidably engages with the chute 104 along its length. For example, the first rotation drive device 201 can be configured as an electric motor, a pneumatic motor, or a hydraulic motor. Optionally, the eccentric shaft 202 includes an eccentrically arranged first shaft segment and a second shaft segment. The first shaft segment is connected to the first rotation drive device 201 and is rotationally connected to the support 5, while the second shaft segment extends into the chute 104.

[0055] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the first rotation drive device 201, the eccentric shaft 202 is driven to rotate, and the eccentric shaft 202 slides in cooperation with the slide groove 104, thereby driving the mounting base 1 to slide back and forth through the slide groove 104. During the reciprocating sliding of the mounting base 1, the container on the mounting base 1 is driven to reciprocate and vibrate, thereby mixing the culture medium in the container.

[0056] It is understood that the mounting base 1 is not limited to being in sliding connection with the support 5. For example, Figure 6 In other embodiments provided herein, the first drive mechanism 2 includes at least two first telescopic drive mechanisms 203, each connected between the support 5 and the mounting base 1. The at least two first telescopic drive mechanisms 203 are arranged along a circular path. For example, the ends of the first telescopic drive mechanisms 203 are hingedly connected to the mounting base 1 and the support 5, respectively. Optionally, the first telescopic drive mechanisms 203 are configured as pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first telescopic drive device 203 is synchronously extended and retracted to cause the mounting base 1 to move up and down, driving the container on the mounting base 1 to move up and down, generating oscillations and promoting mixing of the culture medium in the container. Alternatively, the first telescopic drive device 203 is sequentially extended and retracted to cause the mounting base 1 to swing, driving the container on the mounting base 1 to swing, and promoting mixing of the culture medium in the container.

[0058] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the gripping assembly 3 is configured as a vacuum suction cup. In this embodiment, when the cover needs to be gripped, a vacuum pump or vacuum generator is used to suck air from the vacuum suction cup, allowing the vacuum suction cup to adhere to the cover. To prevent the cover from falling, air can be introduced into the vacuum suction cup to break the vacuum state, thereby improving the suction force.

[0059] Of course, the gripping component 3 is not limited to being set as a vacuum suction cup. For example, in other embodiments provided by the present invention, the gripping component 3 is set as a clamp. Optionally, the clamp is set as a pneumatic clamp or a pneumatic finger, and the number of clamp claws can be set to two or three.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second drive mechanism 4 includes a second telescopic drive mechanism 401. The gripping assembly 3 is connected to the second telescopic drive mechanism 401. For example, the second telescopic drive mechanism 401 is arranged vertically. In this embodiment, the second telescopic drive mechanism 401 telescopically drives the gripping assembly 3 to move closer to or further from the mounting base 1, thereby opening or closing the lid. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the second drive mechanism 4.

[0061] Of course, the second driving device 4 is not limited to including the second telescopic driving device 401. For example, referring to Figure 2 As shown, in other embodiments provided by the present invention, the second drive device 4 includes a second telescopic drive device 401 and a second rotation drive device 402 connected to each other. The grab assembly 3 is connected to the second telescopic drive device 401 or the second rotation drive device 402.

[0062] In this embodiment, a second telescopic drive device 401 and a second rotation drive device 402 are provided, and the grabbing assembly 3 is provided on the second telescopic drive device 401 or the second rotation drive device 402, so that the second drive device 4 can drive the grabbing assembly 3 to move in translation and drive the grabbing assembly 3 to deflect, so that when the second drive device 4 drives the grabbing assembly 3 to reset or open the cover, the grabbing assembly 3 can be deflected to one side of the mounting seat 1, so that the grabbing assembly 3 can completely clear the space above the mounting seat 1.

[0063] Optionally, the second telescopic driving device 401 is configured as a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder. The second rotation driving device 402 is configured as an electric motor, a pneumatic motor or a hydraulic motor.

[0064] Of course, to enable both lifting and deflection of the gripping assembly 3, the second drive device 4 is not limited to comprising the second telescopic drive device 401 and the second rotational drive device 402. For example, in other embodiments provided herein, the second drive device 4 comprises a rotary pressing cylinder. By providing a rotary pressing cylinder, the rotary pressing cylinder can both drive the gripping assembly 3 upward and deflect, thereby simplifying the structure of the second drive device 4. For example, the rotary pressing cylinder can be configured as a rotary pressing air cylinder or a rotary pressing oil cylinder.

[0065] In some embodiments provided herein, the mixing system further includes a manipulator for gripping a container. The manipulator is used to place a container on or remove a container from the mounting base 1. For example, the manipulator includes a gripper for gripping the container. The gripper can be configured as a pneumatic gripper or pneumatic fingers.

[0066] In this embodiment, a robot arm can be used to place a container on or take a container out of the mounting seat 1 , without the need for manual placement of the container, thereby further improving the automation level of the mixing device.

[0067] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the mounting base 1 includes a base plate 101 and an annular plate 102 disposed on the base plate 101. The annular plate 102 is used to position the container. For example, the inner diameter of the annular plate 102 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the container. The annular plate 102 is provided with a clearance opening for the robot. For example, the number of clearance openings is equal to the number of claws of the robot gripper. This arrangement facilitates the robot gripping or placing the container.

[0068] Of course, the mounting base 1 is not limited to the above structure. For example, Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the mounting base 1 includes a base plate 101 and a stopper 103. The number of stoppers 103 is set to at least three, and the at least three stoppers 103 are arranged to form an annular structure. The stoppers 103 are positioned on the base plate 101 in an adjustable manner along the radial direction of the annular structure. In this embodiment, the diameter of the annular structure can be changed by adjusting the position of the stoppers 103, thereby allowing the annular structure to adapt to containers of different diameters.

[0069] Optionally, the stopper 103 is slidably connected to the base plate 101, and a screw threadedly connected to the stopper 103 presses against the base plate 101, thereby locking the stopper 103. Alternatively, a plurality of stopper holes arranged radially along the annular structure are provided on the base plate 101, and a pin or screw connected to the stopper 103 engages with the stopper holes, thereby fixing the stopper 103.
