Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microbial inoculation technology, and in particular to an inoculation tool for ergot experiments. Background Technology

[0002] Ergot belongs to the kingdom Fungi, phylum Ascomycota, class Sclerotium, order Hypocreales, family Clavicipitaceae, and genus Clavicipitaceae. This fungus parasitizes the ovaries of grasses such as rye, wheat, barley, oats, and goosegrass, transforming the ovary into a sclerotium that resembles a grain of wheat, hence the name ergot.

[0003] When culturing ergot spores in the laboratory, the ergot spores are tightly attached to the slant culture medium. Unlike ordinary soft and sticky fungi, they have strong toughness after they mature, making it difficult to peel them off the culture medium using common inoculation tools. This makes it difficult to separate the ergot from the culture medium and remove it for inoculation, which is time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, if the bottle is opened for too long, the probability of the ergot spore culture medium being contaminated increases, affecting its subsequent use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an inoculation tool for ergot experiments, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, where ergot spores are tightly connected to the slant culture medium and have strong toughness after growth and maturity, making it difficult to peel them off the culture medium using common inoculation tools. This leads to difficulties in separating ergot from the culture medium and removing them for inoculation, which is time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, if the bottle is opened for too long, the probability of the ergot spore culture medium being contaminated increases, affecting its subsequent use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an inoculation tool for ergot experiments, comprising a head and a body, wherein the head and body are integrally formed, the head is provided with several ventilation holes, an elastic sleeve is sleeved on the end of the body away from the head, and an anti-contamination baffle is slidably sleeved on the body.

[0006] Furthermore, the rod head includes a rod head body and a rod head end, the rod head body and the rod head end are integrally formed, and a plurality of the ventilation holes are formed on the rod head body.

[0007] Furthermore, the rod head is a flat triangular plate, and the rod head gradually widens from the end closest to the rod body to the end furthest from the rod body, with the end of the rod head bent downwards into a serrated shape.

[0008] Furthermore, the rod body includes a connecting rod segment, an extension rod segment, and a handheld rod segment. The connecting rod segment, the extension rod segment, and the handheld rod segment are integrally formed and have the same outer diameter. The connecting rod segment is connected to the rod head, the elastic sleeve is fitted onto the handheld rod segment, and the extension rod segment is located between the connecting rod segment and the handheld rod segment.

[0009] Furthermore, the anti-pollution baffle is slidably sleeved on the outside of the extension rod segment, and the anti-pollution baffle has a disc-shaped structure, with a slot in the middle of the anti-pollution baffle for sleeved on the extension rod segment.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the elastic sleeve is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0011] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, the rod head and body are integrally molded and made of metal, which can be sterilized at high temperatures. The rod body is long and slender, which allows it to easily enter and exit the inclined opening. The extended rod section is equipped with a contamination-proof baffle to prevent the risk of contamination due to prolonged operation. The handheld rod section is equipped with an elastic sleeve, which allows the operator to easily grip it without slipping. Most importantly, the serrated rod head can easily separate tough ergot, improving the efficiency of ergot peeling and inoculation, saving time and effort. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Example: Reference Figure 1-5The illustration shows an inoculation tool for ergot experiments, comprising a stick head 1 and a stick body 2. Both the stick head 1 and the stick body 2 are made of metal for easy high-temperature sterilization after use. The stick head 1 and the stick body 2 are integrally formed. The stick body 2 is elongated to facilitate entry and exit from slant culture media. The stick head 1 includes a stick head body and a stick head end, which are integrally formed. The stick head body has multiple ventilation holes 4. The stick head body is flat and triangular in shape, and gradually widens from one end near the stick body 2 to the end away from the stick body 2. The stick head end is curved downwards into a serrated shape. The serrated stick head end can easily separate the tough ergot bacteria, improving the efficiency of ergot peeling and inoculation. The stick body 2 includes a connecting stick segment, an extension stick segment, and a handheld stick. The connecting rod segment, extension rod segment, and handheld rod segment are integrally formed and have the same outer diameter. The connecting rod segment is connected to the rod head 1. The extension rod segment is located between the connecting rod segment and the handheld rod segment. The handheld rod segment is fitted with an elastic sleeve 5. The outer wall of the elastic sleeve 5 is provided with anti-slip texture, which allows the operator to easily grip without slipping. The extension rod segment is fitted with an anti-contamination baffle 3. The anti-contamination baffle 3 is made of metal, which is convenient for high-temperature sterilization after use. The anti-contamination baffle 3 has a disc-shaped structure, and the center of the anti-contamination baffle 3 has a slot 6 for fitting onto the extension rod segment. The anti-contamination baffle 3 can cover the slant culture medium to prevent the ergot bacteria in the slant culture medium from being contaminated due to long operation time.

[0022] Working principle of this utility model:

[0023] The operator holds the elastic sleeve 5 and guides the stick head 1 into the corresponding slant through the stick body 2. At this time, the anti-contamination baffle 3 can cover the bottle mouth to separate the operator's hand from the bottle mouth. The stick head 1 can be used to scrape off the bacteria. Through the ventilation hole 4, the bacteria on the stick head 1 will not accumulate. After all the bacteria in the slant have been scraped off, the stick head 1 can be used to scrape them all out to the bottle mouth and transfer them to other containers. The elastic sleeve 5 can be replaced after each use. The stick head 1, stick body 2 and anti-contamination baffle 3 can be sterilized at high temperature.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
