Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rapid dispensing equipment for culture media, and in particular to a rapid dispensing equipment for microbial testing culture media. Background Technology

[0002] Rapid culture medium dispensing equipment is a professional instrument used in life science research, biopharmaceuticals, and microbial detection for efficient and accurate dispensing of culture media. This equipment effectively solves the problems of low efficiency and large errors in traditional manual dispensing, providing an efficient, stable, and standardized solution for culture medium dispensing in related industries, and powerfully promoting the smooth progress of scientific research and production.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN219487781U, disclose a culture medium dispensing device. This patent uses a base, with a base fixedly installed on the upper end of the base. A peristaltic pump is installed on the upper end of the base, and a PLC controller is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base. A feed pipe is installed at the feed inlet of the peristaltic pump through a movable screw sleeve, and a discharge pipe is installed at the discharge outlet of the peristaltic pump through a movable screw sleeve. A bracket is fixedly installed on the outside of the base, and a clamping mechanism is provided on the upper end of the bracket. The bracket clamps the other end of the discharge pipe through the clamping structure. A dispensing mechanism is provided on the upper end of the base. This solves the problem that in the current technology, biological laboratories often need to dispense culture media according to stages during biological culture. The current dispensing method mainly involves placing the feed pipe connected to the feed inlet of the peristaltic pump into the culture medium storage cylinder, and then connecting the other end of the discharge pipe to the discharge outlet. This requires manual handling of the discharge pipe while constantly changing culture dishes with the other hand, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] In the process of dispensing culture medium using dispensing equipment, such as the equipment described above, a clamping mechanism fixed to the side of the base is used to clamp and position the end of the output tube. Since the position of the output end of the clamped output tube remains fixed, there is a certain gap between the output end of the output tube and the test tube during the dispensing process. The existence of this gap brings a risk that the culture medium may splash out from this gap during the dispensing operation, resulting in the waste of culture medium. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rapid dispensing device for microbial test culture medium, including a base 1, a peristaltic pump 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a storage box 3 installed on the right side of the base 1 to the peristaltic pump 2, a vessel rack 4 rotatably connected to the upper surface of the base 1, test tubes 5 inserted into the inner wall of the vessel rack 4, a motor 6 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base 1, the drive shaft of the motor 6 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the vessel rack 4, a support leg 7 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base 1, a support assembly 8 provided on the upper surface of the base 1, a drip tube 10 fixedly connected to the output end of the peristaltic pump 2, and an adjustment assembly 9 provided inside the connecting frame 82.

[0025] In this embodiment: the support component 8 includes a support frame 81, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. A connecting frame 82 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 81. A U-shaped block 83 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the connecting frame 82. A top block 84 is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the container rack 4. A positioning frame 85 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 82. The positioning frame 85 is sleeved with the surface of the drip tube 10. A threaded hole is opened on the arc surface of the positioning frame 85. A fastening bolt 86 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole of the positioning frame 85.

[0026] Specifically, the input end of the peristaltic pump 2 is inserted inside the storage tank 3 and is connected to the inside of the storage tank 3. The drip tube 10 is located directly above the leftmost test tube 5. Under the control of the control chip, the peristaltic pump 2 can pump the culture medium in the storage tank 3 into the test tube 5 in a quantitative manner.

[0027] Specifically, the U-shaped block 83 contacts the arc surface of the top block 84, and there are multiple top blocks 84 arranged in a circular array with reference to the outer circumference of the vessel rack 4.

[0028] In this embodiment: the top block 84 can rotate in a specified direction when the utensil rack 4 is driven to rotate, and contact the U-shaped block 83 during the rotation to lift the connecting frame 82.

[0029] Specifically, the drip tube 10 penetrates the lower surface of the positioning frame 85, and the fastening bolt 86 abuts against the arc surface of the drip tube 10. The position of the drip tube 10 can be locked in the positioning frame 85 by the fastening bolt 86, so that the positioning frame 85 can move up and down while driving the drip tube 10 to move in the specified direction.

[0030] In this embodiment: the adjustment component 9 includes a slider 92, the surface of the connecting frame 82 is provided with an installation cavity 91, the slider 92 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation cavity 91, the front and rear sides of the slider 92 are fixedly connected to connecting frames 93, the connecting frames 93 are fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning frame 85, the connecting frames 93 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 81, the connecting frame 82 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation cavity 91 with a lead screw 94, the slider 92 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 94, the upper surface of the connecting frame 82 is fixedly connected to a damping pad 95, the upper surface of the lead screw 94 is fixedly connected to a knob 96, and the knob 96 abuts against the upper surface of the damping pad 95.

[0031] In this embodiment, the damping pad 95 can increase the stability of the knob 96 in a non-stressed state, thereby reducing the probability of the knob 96 rotating due to non-operational factors.

[0032] Specifically, the connecting frame 93 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 91.

[0033] In this embodiment, the slider 92 and the positioning frame 85 can be connected by the connecting frame 93 so that when the height of the slider 92 is adjusted, the positioning frame 85 can move synchronously.

[0034] Working principle: When dispensing culture medium, add the culture medium into the storage tank 3, and at the same time, place the test tubes 5 evenly in the glassware rack 4. After completing the dispensing preparation, turn on the peristaltic pump 2 and the motor 6. The peristaltic pump 2 works to pump the culture medium in the storage tank 3 into the test tubes 5. After the test tubes 5 at the output end are dispensed, the peristaltic pump 2 stops, and the motor 6 works to rotate the glassware rack 4. The glassware rack 4 rotates the subsequent empty test tubes 5 to below the output end. When the empty test tubes 5 are rotated to below the output end, the motor 6 stops, and the peristaltic pump 2 starts working again to pump the culture medium into the test tubes 5. After the culture medium is dispensed, the test tubes 5 can be removed from the glassware rack 4.

[0035] As the glassware rack 4 rotates, it causes the top block 84 on its outer side to rotate as well. During this rotation, the top block 84 contacts the arc surface of the U-shaped block 83 and, in conjunction with the U-shaped block 83, pushes the connecting frame 82 upwards. Guided by the support frame 81, the connecting frame 82 pushes the positioning frame 85 vertically. The positioning frame 85, in conjunction with the fastening bolt 86, pushes the drip tube 10 upwards. As the drip tube 10 moves upwards, it separates from the test tube 5. When the connecting frame 82 is pushed to its maximum height, it will... Guided by the U-shaped block 83 and the top block 84, the device moves downward along the arc surface of the top block 84. When the connecting frame 82 moves downward, it works with the positioning frame 85 and the fastening bolt 86 to pull the drip tube 10, so that the drip tube 10 is inserted into another test tube 5. By setting the support component 8, the output end of the device can follow the rotation of the glassware rack 4 during operation and move up and down in a specified direction, thereby repeatedly inserting into different test tubes 5, so as to ensure that the output end of the device is inserted into the test tube 5 when the device pumps the culture medium, reducing the gap generated during dispensing.

[0036] In addition, when the height of the test tube 5 changes and the position of the dropper 10 needs to be adjusted, the knob 96 is rotated clockwise. The knob 96 rotates the lead screw 94. When the lead screw 94 rotates, it engages with the slider 92 through the thread. Under the guidance of the mounting cavity 91, the slider 92, together with the connecting frame 93, moves the positioning frame 85 in the specified direction. The positioning frame 85 moves the dropper 10, thereby adjusting the position of the dropper 10. After the adjustment is completed, the knob 96 is stopped. The knob 96, together with the damping pad 95 and the lead screw 94, locks the position of the slider 92, thereby ensuring the stability of the adjusted positioning frame 85. By setting the adjustment component 9, the height of the output end of the dispensing equipment can be adjusted according to the specifications of the test tube 5 used, thereby increasing the applicability of the dispensing equipment.
