[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flora sorting, specifically to an automatic sorting device for intestinal flora samples. BACKGROUND

[0002] Intestinal flora, the microbial community that resides in our intestines, mainly includes bacteria, archaea, fungi and viruses, etc. These microorganisms not only help us digest food and absorb nutrients, but also play an important role in strengthening our immune system and maintaining overall health. They are also involved in many other processes that are beneficial to health. However, if the balance of intestinal flora is broken, it can cause a variety of health problems outside the intestines, affecting multiple functions of the human body.

[0003] After a large amount of retrieval, a kind of automatic sorting device for intestinal flora samples is disclosed in CN220887461U, which can quickly and efficiently separate and extract intestinal flora liquid through filter gauze with different pore sizes and filter screen with automatic separation, and also facilitate to improve the product quality of intestinal flora liquid.

[0004] However, in the prior art, the device uses a gravity expansion hammer to press the filter gauze, so that the feces can be filtered out from the gauze. However, the gravity expansion hammer and the automatic expansion rod will be contaminated with feces during use. Since the detection operation process is time-consuming, it does not have the time to clean up completely, which makes it more difficult to clean up after the feces in the device dries out. Therefore, the device is prone to mix different flora liquids during use. In addition, the above-mentioned device has a high design cost, so it cannot be used and discarded immediately, which may cause the detection structure to be misaligned under incomplete cleaning. Therefore, an automatic sorting device for intestinal flora samples is needed to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
