Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laboratory equipment technology, and in particular to a semi-automatic solid-liquid culture medium dispensing device capable of sterilization. Background Technology

[0002] Culture medium refers to a nutrient substrate composed of different nutrients that provides nutrients for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, plants or animals. When the culture medium has been cultured to a certain extent, it needs to be evenly distributed for later observation and experimentation.

[0003] In microbiological experiments, the dispensing of culture media is used in various fields of microbial research. In particular, in microbial detection, the pour plate method is often used to count the number of microbial colonies. The dispensing of solid culture media used to culture microorganisms is an extremely important part of the entire experiment.

[0004] Patent application 202322407275.4 discloses a culture medium dispensing device, including a dispensing machine body. An inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the dispensing machine body, and a liquid preparation container is provided on the inlet pipe. The inlet pipe is connected to the liquid preparation container. An outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the dispensing machine body, and the inlet pipe is connected to the outlet pipe. A dispensing gun is fixedly connected to one end of the outlet pipe. A dispensing test tube is provided below the dispensing gun, and the outlet pipe is connected to the dispensing gun. An adjustment structure is provided next to the dispensing machine body. The adjustment structure is mainly composed of a base, which is located next to the dispensing machine body.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned patent applications have the following problems: the structure is too complex, occupies a lot of space, is inconvenient to operate, and can only realize the dispensing of liquid culture medium, but cannot realize the dispensing of solid and liquid. Therefore, improvements are urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a sterilizable semi-automatic solid and liquid culture medium dispensing device. This device can dispense solid and liquid culture media and has a simple structure, making it easy to implement and use.

[0007] In view of the above, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A sterilizable semi-automatic solid-liquid culture medium dispensing device includes a shell, a socket, a grooved base, a dispensing disc, a liquid outlet, a mechanical track, a culture medium container, a transfer pipe, a control panel, and circuitry.

[0009] The top of the housing is equipped with a control panel and circuitry for controlling the dispensing process; a battery is installed inside the housing to power the control panel and circuitry.

[0010] The middle part of the shell is hollow to accommodate culture dishes or culture tubes and to perform various operations;

[0011] The grooved base is located at the bottom of the shell and is used to support the dispensing disc; the dispensing disc is set on the grooved base and is used to place petri dishes or culture tubes; there are two types of dispensing discs, corresponding to petri dishes and culture tubes respectively; the dispensing disc is located below the shell cavity;

[0012] The liquid outlet is located on the upper part of the shell and is set corresponding to the dispensing disc for dispensing liquid or solid culture medium.

[0013] A mechanical track is provided on the side wall of the shell cavity. The mechanical track connects to and supports a dispensing disc. The mechanical track is used to move the dispensing disc up and down to the liquid outlet.

[0014] The shell is provided with a culture medium container, which is used to hold culture medium or solid culture medium.

[0015] The culture medium container is connected to a transfer pipe, one end of which is connected to an outlet for discharging liquid or solid culture medium. The transfer pipe is made of glass and surrounded by a UV lamp, which sterilizes the culture medium. Activating the sterilization mode during transfer effectively prevents contamination during repackaging.

[0016] This invention, through its structural design, can simultaneously achieve quantitative dispensing and sterilization, and can dispense both liquid and solid culture media. It is simple to operate and avoids the contamination problems that occur during manual dispensing, thereby improving time efficiency and operational efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, the culture medium container is surrounded by two sets of heating tubes, which are electrically connected to the control panel and circuitry. This allows for the circulation and heating of the culture medium, preventing solid culture medium from solidifying during dispensing.

[0018] Furthermore, the dispensing disc has a disc size that can adapt to different apertures, and can be configured with different dispensing quantities using the control panel.

[0019] Furthermore, the upper part of the grooved base has a mechanical track support, which is used to support the dispensing disc. At the same time, the mechanical track support is driven by the mechanical track, so that the dispensing disc can move up and down along the mechanical track.

[0020] Furthermore, the outlet has two downward-extending ports located above the shell cavity to facilitate the output of the culture medium.

[0021] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the embodiments of this utility model have the following advantages:

[0035] The grooved base 9 is located at the bottom of the shell 2 and is used to support the dispensing disc 4. The dispensing disc 4 is positioned above the grooved base 9 and is used to place petri dishes or culture tubes, and is located below the cavity. Typically, there are two types of dispensing discs 4, corresponding to petri dishes and culture tubes respectively. Other models or styles of dispensing discs 4 can also be added for dispensing purposes. Figure 3 As shown, the dispensing disc 4 has a disc size that can adapt to different apertures, and is used in conjunction with the control panel and circuit 1 to set different dispensing quantities for dispensing.

[0036] The liquid outlet 3 is located on the upper part of the housing 2, corresponding to the dispensing disc 4, and is used to output liquid or solid culture medium; the liquid outlet 3 is connected to the transmission pipe 10.

[0037] A mechanical track 11 is provided on the side wall of the cavity of the shell 2. The mechanical track 11 connects to and supports the dispensing disc 4. The mechanical track 11 is used to move the dispensing disc 4 up and down to below the liquid outlet 3. Specifically, the upper part of the groove base 9 has a mechanical track support 5. The mechanical track support 5 is used to support the dispensing disc 4. At the same time, the mechanical track support 5 is driven by the mechanical track 11, so that the dispensing disc 4 can move up and down along the mechanical track 11.

[0038] A culture medium container 6 is provided inside the shell 2. The culture medium container 6 is used to hold culture medium or solid culture medium. Usually, the culture medium container 6 is relatively large, so it is often set inside the shell 2 on one side of the cavity.

[0039] The culture medium container 6 is connected to a transmission pipe 10, and the other end of the transmission pipe 10 is connected to an outlet 3 for outputting liquid or solid culture medium through the outlet 3; at the same time, the transmission pipe 10 is made of glass and is surrounded by an ultraviolet lamp tube, which can be used to sterilize the culture medium or culture medium.

[0040] Normally, to prevent solid culture medium from solidifying during dispensing, the culture medium container 6 is surrounded by two sets of heating tubes 7. The heating tubes 7 are electrically connected to the control panel and circuit 1, which can circulate and heat the culture medium.

[0041] The liquid outlet 3 is usually two in number, extending downwards, and is located above the cavity of the shell 2 to facilitate the output of the culture medium.

[0042] In summary, by setting the dispensing discs to correspond to the use of petri dishes and culture tubes respectively, this utility model can be applied to the dispensing of both liquid and solid culture media, and is no longer limited to liquid culture media alone.

[0043] Furthermore, this invention uses ultraviolet lamps installed outside the transmission pipeline to sterilize the culture medium, and activates the sterilization mode during transmission, effectively avoiding contamination problems during repackaging.
