Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of culture medium feeding, specifically to a culture medium feeding rack. Background Technology
[0002] Culture media provide a living environment for microorganisms, offering moisture, pH buffers, and ion concentrations to maintain cell osmotic pressure balance and prevent cell dehydration or rupture; they also provide carbon, nitrogen, and trace elements to ensure energy and nutrient supply; and they provide growth factors, hormones, and cytokines for growth regulation and signal transduction. The basic process of culture medium preparation includes steps such as ingredient mixing, dissolving, pH adjustment, filtration, dispensing, plugging with cotton, and sterilization. These are the standard procedures for culture medium preparation.
[0003] In actual feeding, the required materials are usually mixed together first, and then batch cultured. Currently, in the feeding operation, the operator needs to hold different feeding bags by hand and place them on the material bucket, and then open the feeding bags to let the material inside enter the material bucket. Because there are many and heavy feeding bags, the operator is prone to fatigue, and the operator needs to maintain the feeding posture, which is inconvenient and there is also a risk of material spillage. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a culture medium feeding rack to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] This utility model provides a culture medium feeding rack, comprising:
[0006] A frame suitable for placement above the material bin;
[0007] Two support rods are provided, with their ends fixedly connected to the frame. The two support rods are arranged at intervals to form a mounting area. Each of the two support rods has a recessed section with the recessed opening facing upwards.
[0008] At least one hanging rod is provided, the hanging rod being adapted to pass through the hanging area of the feeding bag, and the two ends of the hanging rod are respectively hooked onto the recessed sections of two support rods.
[0009] Beneficial effects: The frame, support rods, and hanging rods provide a connection base, eliminating the need for operators to continuously carry heavy bags. Operators simply hang the hanging rods supporting the bags on the recessed section, avoiding the burden of manually maintaining the feeding posture, thus freeing up manpower and reducing operator fatigue. The bags are stably suspended above the hopper via the hanging rods, allowing material to fall vertically into the hopper after opening, preventing spillage caused by bag movement during manual operation. The upward-facing recessed design ensures the hanging rods are not easily detached, guaranteeing suspension stability. Multiple bags can be threaded onto multiple hanging rods for batch loading, reducing repetitive handling, shortening feeding preparation time, and improving operational convenience.
[0010] In some embodiments, the culture medium feeding rack includes a first hanging rod and a second hanging rod, with the two ends of the first hanging rod and the second hanging rod respectively hooked onto the recessed sections of two support rods; the first hanging rod and the second hanging rod are arranged in parallel.
[0011] The recessed section is provided with a limiting part, which is abutted between the first mounting rod and the second mounting rod.
[0012] Beneficial effects: The dual-bar design allows two sets of feeding bags to be suspended simultaneously, enabling double the material to be fed at once and improving batch feeding efficiency. The limiting part physically isolates the two hanging rods, preventing them from colliding or tangling with each other due to bag swinging during feeding, thus ensuring smooth operation. Furthermore, the parallel dual-bar layout facilitates the rational allocation of the hanging area and prevents bag stacking from affecting the bag opening operation.
[0013] In some embodiments, both the first mounting rod and the second mounting rod are provided with a bending structure, the bending structure including a first bending portion and a second bending portion, the first bending portion and the second bending portion are disposed at both ends of the mounting rod, and the bending portion overlaps with the recessed section.
[0014] Beneficial effects: The mechanical interlock between the bent section and the recessed section ensures that even if the frame is shaken by external forces, the hanging rod can remain firmly and securely locked in place, preventing the feeding bag from accidentally falling off and causing the risk of material spillage.
[0015] In some embodiments, any bend is configured as an L-shaped bend or an arc bend.
[0016] Beneficial effects: For L-shaped bends, the structure is simple and easy to process, and the right-angle hook provides strong resistance to displacement; for arc-shaped bends, the cornerless design avoids stress concentration, extends the life of the rod, and the arc sliding is smoother, which helps to improve the feel of hanging and picking up.
[0017] In some embodiments, the limiting portion is configured as a protruding post, which is arranged along the height direction.
[0018] Beneficial effects: The two mounting rods are vertically isolated by the protruding column, which limits their range of movement, ensures a constant spacing, and guarantees a reliable feeding space.
[0019] In some embodiments, one of the support rods is provided with a corresponding recessed section, and the recessed sections on the two support rods are close to the ends of the support rods that connect to the frame, and the two support rods are arranged in parallel.
[0020] Beneficial effects: The recessed section is close to the connection end between the support rod and the frame, so that the hanging area is located at the edge of the frame, which makes it convenient for operators to stand on the side of the material bucket to perform operations such as hanging and opening bags.
[0021] In some embodiments, a support rod is provided with two recessed sections, which are spaced apart from each other.
[0022] Beneficial effects: The single-rod double-recessed section design allows the feeding frame to suspend two hanging rods, expanding the single feeding capacity; in addition, the double recesses disperse the pressure at the hanging point, improve the hanging stability, and avoid excessive local stress deformation of the support rod.
[0023] In some embodiments, the recessed segment is configured as an arc-shaped recess or a square recess.
[0024] Beneficial effects: For arc-shaped recesses, it can conform to the curvature of the mounting rod, increase the contact surface, and disperse pressure to prevent wear; for square recesses, its lateral edges can limit and stop the mounting rod, improving the stability of the load.
[0025] In some embodiments, a plurality of support rods are provided, and the plurality of support rods are spaced apart along the length direction of the frame.
[0026] Beneficial effects: Multiple support rods are arranged along the length of the frame to form multiple parallel hanging areas, which can hang multiple bags of materials at the same time, fully meeting the feeding needs; and through the multi-rod design, the total load can be distributed, improving the overall load-bearing capacity and bending stiffness.
[0027] In some embodiments, the culture medium feeding rack further includes a base rod adapted to abut against the material tank, and the base rod is fixedly disposed with the frame.
[0028] Beneficial effect: The bottom rod abuts against the material bucket, forming a restraint that ensures the feeding port of the feeding bag is aligned with the material bucket, preventing material from spilling. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0039] The following is combined Figures 1 to 5 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0040] According to embodiments of the present invention, in one aspect, a culture medium feeding rack is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the feeding rack includes a frame 11, two support rods 12, and one or more hanging rods. The frame 11 is adapted to be placed above the material bin, and the hanging rods are adapted to pass through the hanging area of the feeding bag. The two support rods 12 can be used to provide support for the upper end of the frame 11 for the hanging rods.
[0041] In this embodiment, the two ends of the two support rods 12 are fixedly connected to the frame 11, and the two support rods 12 are arranged at intervals to form a hanging area; a material bucket is set below the hanging area, and the two ends of the hanging rods are respectively hung on the recessed sections 13 of the two support rods 12.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, both support rods 12 are provided with recessed sections 13, with the recessed openings of the recessed sections 13 facing upwards. This upward-facing design ensures that the mounting rods are not easily dislodged, thus guaranteeing suspension stability.
[0043] The culture medium feeding rack provided in this embodiment provides a connection base through the frame 11, support rod 12, and hanging rod. The operator does not need to continuously carry heavy bags by hand. He only needs to hang the hanging rod carrying the feeding bag on the recessed section 13, avoiding the burden of manually maintaining the feeding posture, which helps to free up manpower and reduce operator fatigue. The feeding bag can be stably suspended above the material bucket through the hanging rod. After the bag is opened, the material falls vertically into the bucket, avoiding the risk of spillage caused by the shaking of the bag during manual operation. Multiple feeding bags can be threaded through multiple hanging rods to achieve batch loading, which helps to reduce repetitive handling actions, shorten the feeding preparation time, and improve the convenience of operation.
[0044] In specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the culture medium feeding rack includes a first hanging rod 21 and a second hanging rod 22. The two ends of the first hanging rod 21 and the second hanging rod 22 are respectively hung on the recessed sections 13 of the two support rods 12. The first hanging rod 21 and the second hanging rod 22 are arranged in parallel. A limiting part 14 is provided on the recessed section 13, and the limiting part 14 is abutted between the first hanging rod 21 and the second hanging rod 22.
[0045] The above solution, employing a double-rod design, allows for the simultaneous suspension of two sets of feeding bags, enabling double the material to be fed at once and improving batch feeding efficiency. The limiting part 14 physically isolates the two hanging rods, preventing them from colliding or tangling due to bag swinging during feeding, thus ensuring smooth operation. Furthermore, the parallel double-rod layout facilitates the rational allocation of the hanging area, preventing bag stacking from affecting the bag opening operation.
[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the limiting part 14 is configured as a protruding post, which is arranged along the height direction. The protruding post vertically isolates the two hanging rods, limiting their range of movement, ensuring a constant spacing, and guaranteeing a reliable feeding space.
[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, each support rod 12 has a corresponding recessed section 13. The recessed sections 13 on both support rods 12 are close to the ends of the support rods 12 connecting to the frame 11, and the two support rods 12 are arranged parallel to each other. In this design, the recessed sections 13 are close to the connection ends of the support rods 12 and the frame 11, and are set off from the middle part of the support rods 12. Moreover, the recessed sections 13 on the two support rods 12 are offset and set on the same side, so that the hanging area is located at the edge of the frame 11, which makes it convenient for operators to stand on the side of the material bucket to perform operations such as hanging bags and opening bags.
[0048] In some embodiments, a support rod 12 is provided with two recessed sections 13, which are spaced apart. By adopting the design of a single rod with two recessed sections 13, the feeding frame can suspend two hanging rods, thereby expanding the single feeding capacity; in addition, the double recesses disperse the pressure at the hanging point, improve the hanging stability, and avoid excessive local stress and deformation of the support rod 12.
[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the recessed section 13 is set as an arc-shaped recess; the arc-shaped recess can fit the curvature of the mounting rod, increase the contact surface, and disperse pressure to prevent wear.
[0050] In some embodiments, the recessed section 13 is configured as a square recess; for a square recess, its lateral side can limit and stop the mounting rod, thereby improving the stability of the mounting.
[0051] In some embodiments, both the first mounting rod 21 and the second mounting rod 22 are provided with bending structures, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the bending structure includes a first bending part 23 and a second bending part 24, which are located at both ends of the hanging rod. The bending parts overlap with the recessed section 13. The bending parts and the recessed section 13 form a mechanical interlock, ensuring that even if the frame 11 is shaken by external force, the hanging rod remains stably and securely locked, preventing the feeding bag from accidentally falling off and causing material spillage.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first bend 23 and the second bend 24 are configured as L-shaped bends; for L-shaped bends, the structure is simple and easy to process, and the right-angle hook provides strong resistance to displacement.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first bend 23 and the second bend 24 are configured as arc bends; for arc bends, the design without sharp edges avoids stress concentration, extends the life of the rod, and the arc sliding is smoother, which helps to improve the feel of hanging and picking up.
[0054] In some embodiments, multiple support rods 12 are provided, and the multiple support rods 12 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the frame 11. The arrangement of multiple support rods 12 along the length direction of the frame 11 can form multiple parallel hanging areas, which can simultaneously suspend multiple bags of materials, fully meeting the feeding requirements; and through the multi-rod design, the total load can be distributed, improving the overall load-bearing capacity and bending stiffness.
[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the culture medium feeding rack also includes a base rod 15, which is adapted to abut against the material container and is fixedly installed with the frame 11. The abutment between the base rod 15 and the material container forms a restraint, causing the feeding port of the feeding bag to align with the material container and preventing material spillage.
[0056] In specific structural embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the frame 11 includes four upper poles and four upright poles, and four base poles 15. The four upper poles are fixedly assembled to form a quadrilateral upper frame, and the four base poles 15 are fixedly assembled to form a quadrilateral base frame. The four upright poles are respectively connected to the four corners of the upper frame and the base frame. The upper poles, upright poles, and base poles 15 can all be made of solid stainless steel.
[0057] In some embodiments, the bottom of the base rod 15 is provided with a side plate 16, and two side plates 16 are provided at intervals. The two side plates 16 are used to clamp and fix the culture medium feeding rack to the top of the stirring system, and play a connecting role. The top of the stirring system can be set as a square structure, and the two side plates 16 are respectively provided with connecting holes. Fasteners can be passed through the connecting holes to lock and fix the stirring system.
[0058] The culture medium feeding rack provided in this embodiment eliminates the need for personnel to manually carry the feeding bag for continuous feeding, improving operational convenience, effectively reducing operator fatigue, and avoiding the risk of material spillage.
[0059] Before feeding the culture medium feeding rack provided in this embodiment, the feeding rack is first installed in the material tank of the liquid preparation system. The operator inserts the hanging rod into the hanging area of the feeding bag, and then hangs the hanging rod on the support rod 12, so that the feeding bag is placed in the feeding area. After that, the bag opening is opened so that the feeding bag feeds the material into the material tank below.
[0060] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
