[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-bead precision supply device, including:
[0025] The frame 10 supports, positions, and fixes the device, and a control module for controlling the operation of the device is installed on the frame 10.
[0026] The supply component includes a hopper cylinder 3 mounted on the frame 10, and a discharge module for discharging the balls inside the hopper cylinder 3 is provided at the top of the hopper cylinder 3.
[0027] The receiving component includes a ball pusher plate 5 mounted on the frame 10, which is correspondingly positioned to the outlet of the hopper barrel 3.
[0028] The positioning component is located on the side wall of the frame 10. The output end of the positioning component extends into the lower part of the frame 10 and makes transmission contact with the ball pusher plate 5.
[0029] This application discloses a multi-bead precision supply device. Through precise mechanical design and an intelligent control system, it achieves automatic, precise, and stable bead supply. The frame 10 serves as the foundation of the equipment, ensuring stable operation. During use, the discharge module automatically discharges the beads from the hopper drum 3, which fall onto the bead pusher plate 5. Automated operation reduces manual intervention and significantly improves the speed and efficiency of bead supply. The control module precisely controls the position of the bead pusher plate 5 through positioning components, ensuring the accurate quantity and position of beads in each pusher plate 5, thus guaranteeing supply accuracy. This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and maintain, achieves precise and efficient bead supply, reduces equipment and operating costs, and can be adjusted according to different supply requirements, making it widely applicable.
[0030] Furthermore, the hopper 3 in this embodiment is used to store the beads to be supplied, and its design facilitates the smooth flow and replenishment of the beads.
[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the hopper cylinder 3 is provided with a groove for discharging the beads, and a counting mechanism is provided in the groove. The design of the groove ensures that only one bead can pass through at a time, and the counting mechanism monitors the number of beads that have passed through.
[0032] Furthermore, the counting mechanism in this embodiment can be a photoelectric sensor, the specific principle and usage of which are existing technologies, and can be referenced to photoelectric sensors of models such as RK-G2, RK-F2, and RK-D2.
[0033] The design is further optimized. The discharge module includes a brush 2 rotatably connected inside the hopper cylinder 3. The brush 2 sweeps the beads inside the hopper cylinder 3 onto the bead pusher plate 5. A drive motor 1 is installed at the top of the hopper cylinder 3. The output end of the drive motor 1 points downward and extends into the hopper cylinder 3. The drive motor 1 is connected to the brush 2 for transmission. During operation, the output end of the drive motor 1 drives the brush 2 to rotate. The rotation of the brush 2 brushes the beads inside the hopper cylinder 3 one by one into the grooves inside the hopper cylinder 3, then counts and discharges them onto the bead pusher plate 5.
[0034] To further optimize the design, the ball pusher plate 5 is arrayed with several slots 6, which are adapted to the balls. The balls discharged from the hopper cylinder 3 are engaged in the slots 6. The slots 6 on the ball pusher plate 5 are adapted to the balls, and the balls falling onto the ball pusher plate 5 are engaged in the slots 6 for fixation, preventing them from rolling; at the same time, it also ensures that the number of balls on the ball pusher plate 5 is fixed.
[0035] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this application, the slots 6 on the ball pusher plate 5 are arranged in a 3x5 pattern, totaling 15 slots.
[0036] Furthermore, in other embodiments of this example, the number of card slots 6 can be selected in other combinations as needed.
[0037] To further optimize the design, a filling notch 9 is provided at the top of the hopper cylinder 3 for loading balls. The filling notch 9 is designed to facilitate the loading of balls into the hopper cylinder 3, ensuring a stable number of balls in the hopper cylinder 3 and enabling continuous feeding.
[0038] In a further optimized design, a sliding groove 8 is provided at the bottom of the frame 10, and the ball pusher plate 5 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 8. The sliding groove 8 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame 10, and the ball pusher plate 5 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 8 for easy entry and exit; the top of the etched sliding groove 8 is connected to the groove of the hopper barrel 3, and the ball enters the sliding groove 8 after being discharged from the groove, and falls into the slot 6 on the ball pusher plate 5.
[0039] Further optimization of the design includes a positioning component comprising a pusher motor 4 mounted on the frame 10. The output end of the pusher motor 4 extends into the sliding groove 8 and is connected to a pusher plate. The pusher plate abuts against the end of the ball pusher plate 5, thereby pushing the ball pusher plate 5 out of the sliding groove 8. The pusher motor 4 is mounted on the side of the frame 10 opposite to the sliding groove 8. The output end of the pusher motor 4 extends into the sliding groove 8 to drive the pusher plate to move, which in turn drives the ball pusher plate 5 to move, thereby controlling the position of the ball pusher plate 5 so that the ball can accurately fall into the slot 6.
[0040] In a further optimized design, a coupling 7 is installed at the top of the silo cylinder 3. The output end of the drive motor 1 is connected to the input end of the coupling 7, and the output end of the coupling 7 is connected to the brush 2.
[0041] Furthermore, the control module in this embodiment is responsible for the coordinated operation of the entire device, including starting and stopping the motor, adjusting the speed, counting the number of balls, and interacting with other automated equipment. The control module also has an adaptive adjustment function, which can set the corresponding parameters according to the specifications of different ball pusher plates 5 and the number of balls required.
[0042] Usage process:
[0043] 1. Feeding: The beads are manually added into the hopper drum 3.
[0044] 2. Start the motor: Start the drive motor 1 to make the brush 2 start rotating.
[0045] 3. Brushing the beads: The rotating brush 2 brushes the beads out of the hopper barrel 3 and guides them into the slot 6 on the bead push plate 5 inserted into the movable groove.
[0046] 4. Collecting beads: As the brush 2 continues to rotate, the beads are continuously brushed into the slots 6 of the bead pusher plate 5 until the predetermined number is reached.
[0047] 5. Dispensing the beads: Once a sufficient number of beads have been collected, start the pusher motor 4 to push the bead pusher plate 5 out of the sliding groove 8, dispensing the beads in the slot 6 and releasing them into the culture plate.
[0048] 6. Complete the action: Repeat the above steps until all the beads have been fed into the culture plate, completing the entire bead addition process.
