When the placement tray needs to be installed on the support rod, pull the handle to move the insert rod and fixing plate outward, causing the fixing plate to compress spring one, which then contracts under pressure. When the limiting plate extends out of the slide groove, rotate the handle to rotate the limiting plate, causing it to press against the outer wall of the slider. Insert the four sliders onto the support rod, press the placement tray, and move the sliders downward. When the placement tray reaches the slot position, rotate the handle to align the limiting plate with the slide groove. The elastic force of spring one pushes the insert rod and fixing plate towards the center, causing the limiting plate to insert into the slide groove and the insert rod into the slot, thus completing the fixing and installation of the placement tray. The sliders and fixing structure allow for quick installation and removal of the placement tray, making the operation convenient and fast. No fixing bolts are required, facilitating the cleaning of the placement tray and shaker rack.

[0014] 2. This shaker for bacterial culture is equipped with a snap-fit ​​structure. When the slider is inserted into the support rod, the snap-fit ​​is squeezed by the support rod, causing the snap-fit ​​to retract into the groove. The spring is also compressed, causing the snap-fit ​​to retract into the groove. When the slider moves to the slot, the spring force pushes the snap-fit ​​out, causing the snap-fit ​​to engage with the slot. The snap-fit ​​structure allows the slider to be initially fixed in position when it moves to the slot, making it easier for operators to install and place the tray, and making it more convenient and faster to use.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a shaker for bacterial culture, comprising a shaker body 1, support rods 2, a placement tray 3, shaker racks 4, sliders 5, a fixing structure 6, and a snap-fit ​​structure 7. Four support rods 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the transmission disc of the shaker body 1, and the support rods 2 are slidably connected to the sliders 5. Sliders 5 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the placement tray 3, and several shaker racks 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the placement tray 3. Grooves 51 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the sliders 5, and grooves 52 and a sliding groove 53 are provided on the side of the slider 5 furthest from the center. The fixing structure 6 includes an insertion rod 61, which is slidably connected to the sliders 5, and is fixedly connected to... The fixed plate 62 is slidably connected to the groove 52. The left and right sides of the insertion rod 61 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 64. The limiting plate 64 is slidably connected to the slide groove 53. The buckle structure 7 includes a fixed rod 71. The inner wall of the groove 51 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 71. The fixed rod 71 is slidably connected to the buckle 72. The placement tray 3 can be quickly installed and disassembled through the slider 5 and the fixed structure 6. The operation is convenient and quick, and no fixing bolts are required. It is easy to clean the placement tray 3 and the shaker 4. The buckle structure 7 can make the slider 5 move to the slot 22 and fix the position of the slider 5 initially, so as to facilitate the operator to install the placement tray 3.

[0023] Furthermore, the side of the buckle 72 closest to the fixing rod 71 is a hollow cylinder, and the side of the buckle 72 away from the fixing rod 71 is a hemisphere. When the hemisphere of the buckle 72 is squeezed by the support rod 2, the buckle 72 retracts into the groove 51, causing the buckle 72 to retract into the groove 51.

[0024] Furthermore, three slots 21 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the support rod 2. The buckle 72 engages with the slots 21. When the buckle 72 engages with the slots 21, the position of the slider 5 is initially fixed.

[0025] Furthermore, the support rod 2 has three slots 22 on the side away from the middle. The insertion rod 61 is slidably connected to the slots 22. When the insertion rod 61 and the fixing plate 62 move towards the middle, the limiting plate 64 is inserted into the sliding groove 53, and the insertion rod 61 is inserted into the slot 22, thereby fixing the position of the slider 5 with the insertion rod 61, thus completing the fixing and installation of the placement plate 3.

[0026] Furthermore, the end of the insertion rod 61 furthest from the center is fixedly connected to the handle 65, which is a hexagonal handle. The surface of the handle 65 is provided with an anti-slip coating to prevent slippage when rotating the handle 65, and the hexagonal handle is easier to hold.

[0027] Furthermore, a spring 63 is fitted on the insertion rod 61. One end of the spring 63 abuts against the outer wall of the fixing plate 62, and the other end of the spring 63 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 52. The elastic force of the spring 63 pushes the insertion rod 61 and the fixing plate 62 to move towards the middle, so that the limiting plate 64 is inserted into the sliding groove 53.

[0028] Furthermore, a second spring 73 is fitted onto the fixing rod 71. One end of the second spring 73 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first groove 51, and the other end of the second spring 73 is fixedly connected to the buckle 72. When the buckle 72 retracts into the first groove 51, the second spring 73 is compressed and retracts. The elastic force of the second spring 73 pushes the buckle 72 out, so that the buckle 72 engages with the slot 21.

[0029] Working principle: In use, when it is necessary to install the placement plate 3 on the support rod 2, pull the handle 65, which will cause the handle 65 to move the insertion rod 61 and the fixing plate 62 outward. This will cause the fixing plate 62 to compress the spring 63, causing the spring 63 to contract under pressure. When the limiting plate 64 extends out of the slide groove 53, rotate the handle 65, which will cause the limiting plate 64 to rotate and press against the outer wall of the slider 5. Insert the four sliders 5 into the support rod 2, press the placement plate 3, and the placement plate 3 will move the sliders 5 downward. When the placement plate 3 moves to the position of the slot 22, rotate the handle 65, which will align the limiting plate 64 with the slide groove 53. The elastic force of the spring 63 will push the insertion rod 61 and the fixing plate 62 towards the center, causing the limiting plate 64 to insert into the slide groove 53, and the insertion rod 61... Inserting the slider 5 into the slot 22 completes the fixing and installation of the placement tray 3. The slider 5 and the fixing structure 6 allow for quick installation and removal of the placement tray 3, making the operation convenient and quick. No fixing bolts are required, which facilitates the cleaning of the placement tray 3 and the shaker 4. When the slider 5 is inserted into the support rod 2, the buckle 72 is squeezed by the support rod 2, causing the buckle 72 to retract into the groove 51. The spring 73 is compressed and retracts, causing the buckle 72 to retract into the groove 51. When the slider 5 moves to the position of the slot 21, the elastic force of the spring 73 pushes the buckle 72 out, causing the buckle 72 to engage with the slot 21. The buckle structure 7 can fix the position of the slider 5 when it moves to the slot 22, making it easier for the operator to install the placement tray 3 and making it more convenient and quick to use.
