[0002] Fungi are eukaryotic, sporulating, chloroplast-free eukaryotic organisms, including molds, yeasts, fungi, and other fungi and mushrooms familiar to humans. More than 120,000 fungi have been discovered. Endophytic fungi are fungi that live inside plant tissues during a certain period of their life cycle and do not cause obvious disease symptoms to the plant tissues.

[0003] When culturing endophytic fungi, specimen racks are required. Typically, endophytic fungi are cultured in petri dishes, and then multiple petri dishes are placed in a frame, which is then placed on a specimen rack. However, when operators need to retrieve petri dishes, they have to remove the frame from the specimen rack and then retrieve the petri dishes from it, which is time-consuming and laborious. Secondly, multiple petri dishes in the frame are prone to collisions, which may cause them to slip or shift during the culture process, affecting the stability and safety of endophytic fungal culture. Utility Model Content

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 An endophytic fungal culture specimen rack includes a rack body 1, a picking component 2 on the rack body 1, and a limiting component 3 on the picking component 2;

[0026] The retrieval component 2 includes a fixed plate 21, with a chamber 22 inside the fixed plate 21. A guide rod 23 is fixedly connected inside the chamber 22, and a guide block 24 is slidably connected to the outside of the guide rod 23. A first spring 25 is fixedly connected between the guide block 24 and the inner wall of the chamber 22. A placement plate 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide block 24, and a fluorescent lamp 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 21.

[0027] The limiting component 3 includes a placement groove 31, and a mounting groove 32 is provided on the placement plate 26. A slider 33 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 32. A limiting block 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 33, and a second spring 35 is fixedly connected between the other side of the slider 33 and the mounting groove 32.

[0028] Specifically, there are two frames 1, which are symmetrically distributed from left to right. The fixing plate 21 is fixedly connected between the two frames 1. There are no fewer than three fixing plates 21, which are distributed at equal intervals from top to bottom.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, the number of frame bodies 1 is two, and they are symmetrically distributed from left to right. This design not only enhances the stability of the entire specimen rack, but also allows the specimen rack to evenly distribute pressure when subjected to force, avoiding structural damage caused by excessive force on a single point. At the same time, fixing plates 21 are fixedly connected between the two frame bodies 1, and there are no fewer than three of them, distributed at equal intervals vertically. This layout allows the specimen rack to hold more cultured specimens, while ensuring that each culture dish of endophytic fungi receives stable support.

[0030] Specifically, there are two chambers 22, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides, and the first spring 25 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 23.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, the number of chambers 22 is two and they are symmetrically distributed from left to right. This design allows the guide block 24 to maintain balance during sliding, avoiding sliding jamming or displacement caused by uneven force. At the same time, the first spring 25 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 23, which not only provides necessary elastic support for the guide block 24, but also plays a buffering role during sliding, extending the service life of the specimen rack.

[0032] Specifically, each of the two guide blocks 24 is fixedly connected to a connecting block on its opposite side, and the placement plate 26 is fixedly connected between the two connecting blocks. The fixed plate 21 has a connecting through hole that matches the moving trajectory of the connecting block. The connecting through hole communicates with the chamber 22, and a handle is fixedly connected to the front side of the placement plate 26.

[0033] With the above technical solution, connecting blocks are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two guide blocks 24, and the placement plate 26 is fixedly connected between the two connecting blocks. This design allows the placement plate 26 to slide stably, while the cooperation between the connecting blocks and the connecting through holes restricts the sliding trajectory of the placement plate 26, preventing deviation during the sliding process. In addition, the handle fixedly connected to the front of the placement plate 26 allows the user to easily pull or push the placement plate 26, improving the convenience of operation.

[0034] Specifically, the placement slot 31 is opened on the top of the placement plate 26, and there are no fewer than three placement slots 31, which are distributed from left to right. The placement slot 31 is connected to the mounting slot 32.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, the placement slots 31 are located on the top of the placement plate 26, with no fewer than three slots arranged horizontally. This design allows the specimen rack to simultaneously accommodate multiple different types of cultured specimens, meeting the needs of researchers to simultaneously culture multiple fungi during experiments. Furthermore, the connection between the placement slots 31 and the mounting slots 32 facilitates the installation and fixation of the limiting component 3.

[0036] Specifically, positioning blocks are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the slider 33, and a positioning groove adapted to the moving trajectory of the positioning block is opened inside the placement plate 26. The positioning groove is connected to the mounting groove 32.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, positioning blocks are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the slider 33. This design not only limits the offset of the slider 33 during the sliding process, but also enhances the overall stability of the limiting component 3. At the same time, the positioning groove opened inside the placement plate 26 cooperates with the positioning block to further limit the movement trajectory of the slider 33, ensuring that the limiting block 34 can accurately fix and limit the culture dish.

[0038] Specifically, the limiting block 34 is fixedly connected to the slider 33 via a connecting rod, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting block 34 away from the slider 33.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, the limiting block 34 is fixedly connected to the slider 33 via a connecting rod. This design allows the limiting block 34 to move as the slider 33 slides, thereby achieving the fixation and release of the culture specimen. Simultaneously, an anti-slip pad fixedly connected to the side of the limiting block 34 away from the slider 33 increases the friction between the limiting block 34 and the culture specimen, preventing the endophytic fungal culture dish from slipping or shifting during the culture process, thus improving the success rate and safety of the culture.

[0040] In use, pulling the handle pulls the placement plate out of the fixed plate, causing the guide block to move forward along the guide rod, compressing the first spring. Then, the left and right limiting blocks in the placement slot are pulled to the sides, causing the sliders on both sides to move in opposite directions, compressing the second spring. The culture dish for culturing endophytic fungi is then placed between the limiting blocks on both sides. Releasing the limiting blocks allows the anti-slip pads on the limiting blocks to adhere tightly to the sides of the culture dish under the elastic force of the second spring, thus fixing the culture dish. Finally, slowly releasing the handle allows the placement plate to slowly return to the fixed plate under the elastic force of the first spring, making it convenient for operators to place and remove endophytic fungi culture dishes.

[0041] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these specific embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
