[0025] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the culture dish feeding device provided in this embodiment includes a frame 5 equipped with a conveyor belt 51, a handpiece 3 equipped with a culture dish 6, and a drainage assembly 4 for draining culture medium into the culture dish 6. The handpiece 3 is disposed at one end of the frame 5, and the drainage assembly 4 is mounted on the frame 5. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the handpiece 3 delivers the culture dish 6 to the conveyor belt 51, which then pushes the culture dish 6 to the drainage assembly 4, whereupon the culture medium is drained into the culture dish 6, completing the automatic feeding process. This device requires no human intervention, is highly efficient, and prevents contamination of the culture medium, thereby improving the accuracy of the experiment.

[0027] Furthermore, the machine head 3 includes a machine base 36, multiple groups of loading bins 31, a first push plate 34, multiple second push plates 33, an electric telescopic rod 32 and two guide rods 35; multiple groups of loading bins 31 are vertically fixed to the top of the machine base 36 in sequence; one end of multiple second push plates 33 are fixed to the first push plates 34, and the other ends are slidably arranged one by one at the bottom of multiple groups of loading bins 31; a first entrance 39 is provided at the top of the loading bin 31, and a first outlet 38 is provided at the bottom thereof; one end of the top of the machine base 36 is close to the conveyor belt 51 and is flush with the conveyor belt 51; the two guide rods 35 are horizontally fixed to the side of the machine base 36 away from the conveyor belt 51; the first push plate 34 is slidably arranged on the two guide rods 35; the electric telescopic rod 32 is fixed to the machine base 36, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 32 is fixed to the first push plate 34. Those skilled in the art will understand that the culture dish 6 is placed into the loading bin 31 through the first entrance 39, and then the electric telescopic rod 32 drives the first push plate 34 to slide, thereby driving multiple second push plates 33 to slide in the loading bin 31, thereby pushing the culture dish 6 in the loading bin 31 out of the first exit 38 and sending it to the conveyor belt 51.

[0028] Furthermore, the drainage assembly 4 includes a first support rod 42 and multiple sets of nozzles 43; the multiple sets of nozzles 43 are fixed to the first support rod 42 and are positioned one by one above the multiple sets of culture dishes 6 on the conveyor belt 51. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the nozzles 43 are connected to the external culture medium solution via pipes, and when the culture dishes 6 are transported from the conveyor belt 51 to a designated location, the nozzles 43 release the culture medium into the culture dishes 6.

[0029] Furthermore, the culture dish feeding device provided in this embodiment also includes a cover removal assembly 2; the cover removal assembly 2 includes two groups of support plates 26, an exhaust pipe 25, multiple groups of suction cups 28, two groups of first cylinder seats and two groups of first cylinders 22; the two support plates 26 are respectively fixed on both sides of the conveyor belt 51; the two groups of first cylinder seats are respectively fixed on the opposite sides of the two groups of support plates 26; the two groups of first cylinders 22 are respectively fixed to the two groups of first cylinder seats; the two ends of the exhaust pipe 25 are respectively fixed to the execution ends of the two first cylinders 22; multiple groups of suction cups 28 are fixed on the exhaust pipe 25 and are connected to the exhaust pipe 25; multiple groups of suction cups 28 are located above the conveyor belt 51, and their positions correspond one-to-one to the culture dishes 6 on the conveyor belt 51. Those skilled in the art can understand that first, the exhaust pipe 25 is connected to the external exhaust equipment through a pipeline, and then when the conveyor belt 51 pushes the culture dish 6 pushed by the head 3 to the bottom of the decapping assembly 2, the exhaust pipe 25 is driven downward by the first cylinder 22, and then the suction cup 28 is driven downward. When the suction cup 28 fits into the culture dish cover 62, the culture dish cover 62 will be sucked up, and then the first cylinder 22 drives the exhaust pipe 25 to move upward, thereby sucking up the culture dish cover 62, the conveyor belt 51 continues to move forward, and then the exhaust pipe 25 moves downward, and the suction cup 28 puts the culture dish cover 62 back on the conveyor belt 51, so that the culture dish tank body 61 and the culture dish tank 62 are arranged alternately after passing through the decapping assembly 2.

[0030] Furthermore, the decapping assembly 2 also includes two sets of clamping arms 21, four sets of second air cylinders 24, and a first cover plate 23. The two sets of clamping arms 21 are movably connected to the first cover plate 23 via the second air cylinders 24, and the two sets of clamping arms 21 are located on either side of the exhaust pipe 25. The clamping arms 21 are provided with multiple sets of arcuate grooves 29. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the second air cylinders 24 drive the two sets of clamping arms 21 to move inwardly, thereby clamping the outer wall of the culture dish jar 61, preventing the suction cup 28 from simultaneously sucking up the culture dish jar 61 while sucking air from the culture dish lid 62.

[0031] Furthermore, the decapping assembly 2 also includes two sets of electric telescopic machines 27; the two sets of electric telescopic machines 27 are respectively fixed to the outside of the two support plates 26, and the execution ends of the electric telescopic machines 27 are fixed to the first cover plate 23. Those skilled in the art will understand that the electric telescopic machines 27 control the raising and lowering of the support plates 26. In this way, when the culture dishes 6 on the conveyor belt 51 are transported to the bottom of the decapping assembly 2, the support plates 26 drive the clamping arms 21 to move down to the outside of the culture dish tank 61. The culture dish tank 61 is clamped by the clamping arms 21 driven by the second cylinder 24. After the culture dish cover 62 is clamped, the clamping arms 21 retract horizontally and are lifted up by the first cover plate 23, waiting for the next set of culture dishes 6 to be transported to the bottom of the decapping assembly 2.

[0032] Furthermore, the drainage assembly 4 also includes a slide rail 46, a slider 45 matching the slide rail 46, a second support rod 41, a first connecting rod 44, and a first base plate 47. The machine head 3 also includes a second connecting rod 37. The first base plate 47 is fixed to the frame 5. The slide rail 46 is fixed to the first base plate 47. One end of the second support rod 41 is fixed to the slider 45, and the other end is fixed to the first support rod 42. One end of the second connecting rod 37 is fixed to the first push plate 34, and the other end is fixed to the first connecting rod 44. The first connecting rod 44 is fixed to the second support rod 41. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that when the first push plate 34 pushes the culture dish 6 out of the loading bin 31, the second connecting rod 37 drives the first connecting rod 44, and ultimately drives the first support rod 42 to slide above the culture dish tank 61, and then the nozzle 43 releases the culture medium into the culture dish tank 61.

[0033] Furthermore, the culture dish feeding device provided in this embodiment further includes a lid closing assembly 1; the structure of the lid closing assembly 1 is identical to that of the lid removing assembly 2; the lid closing assembly 1 is disposed at an end of the conveyor belt 51 away from the lid removing assembly 2. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the lid closing assembly 1 is used to close the culture dish lid 62 onto the culture dish tank body 61.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
