That is, according to the present invention, the petri dishes stored in a stacked manner are supplied one by one, the lid is opened halfway, and after the treatment such as sample dropping is performed, the next petri dish is supplied to push out the previous petri dish. The present invention relates to an automatic petri dish lid opening / closing method and an apparatus used for the same, in which an operation of simultaneously closing the lid and moving it forward is continuously performed.

を円滑に行うことが可能となるのである。A feature of the apparatus of the present invention is that the lid of the petri dish is in a half-opened state by using a push-up air cylinder and a push-up plate connected thereto. This push-up plate has two side plates, which are juxtaposed with a width wider than the container body of the petri dish and narrower than the width of the lid of the petri dish, and two lower ends of which are plates or rods. It has a connected and fixed shape, and the head of the air cylinder is connected to this plate or rod-shaped part. Only the lid of the petri dish is pushed up by this push-up plate so that the advancing direction side of the petri dish is lifted high, so that the lid can be slid down in the direction opposite to the advancing direction and the half-opened state can be obtained. By doing this, the push-out air cylinder and the next petri dish pushed out by the push-out plate connected to the push-up plate pushes up the sliding lid of the petri dish in front of the petri dish and covers it further. It is possible to smoothly perform a series of operations of advancing to the position.

好ましい。The shape of the above-mentioned push-up plate is not particularly limited as long as it is designed so that the front part can be lifted high by pushing up the air cylinder, and various types are conceivable. Two side plates in the shape of a quadrangle that rises in the direction are juxtaposed at both ends of one bottom plate, and when the lid of the petri dish is lifted, the lid will slide down smoothly. It is designed to be parallel to the board at a position where the upper part of the side plate is slightly higher than the board for the petri dish to move and lower than the lid of the petri dish when in a steady state.
It is preferable that the petri dish has a shape that prevents lateral shake when the petri dish moves forward.

つ下がって次のシャーレを受け取る準備をする。First, a required number of petri dishes are placed inside the petri dish positioning pole 8 of the apparatus body 1. The robot controller 17 receives a start signal from the personal computer 18, and the robot stands by at the petri dish receiving position. Next, the petri dish push-out air cylinder 3 starts to move by the signal transmitted from the personal computer 18 via the PLC 16, and the petri dish push-out plate 4 pushes out the bottom one of the petri dishes 9 stored.
While holding the petri dish with the guide plate, the sample dropping position (1
0 position), when the air cylinder 3 returns, the petri dish lid lifting air cylinder 6 that receives the next signal set after a certain time from the PLC starts to move, and the petri dish lid lifting plate 7 is indicated by an arrow. Move in the direction shown and push up the dish lid. Since the push-up plate is raised upward, the petri dish lid slides down and moves to the position 11. When the lid slides down, the petri dish lid lifting plate 7 immediately returns to the fixed position (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 1B). In this state, PC 18
The automatic sample dropping device 19 receives the following signal from the sample and drops the sample on the half-opened petri dish. As soon as the dropping is completed, the signal is sent to the personal computer 18 and the PLC 1
It is transmitted to the pushing air cylinder 3 via 6. As a result, the push-out air cylinder 3 starts to move, and the second petri dish pushed out by the push-out plate 4 pushes up the lid of the previous petri dish and simultaneously pushes it further forward, and the petri dish in front of it is on standby. It is received by the petri dish receiving fork hand 14 with the guide plate 15 of the robot. Every time one petri dish is received, the robot controller 17 receives the signal from the personal computer 18, and the fork hand 14 is gradually lowered to prepare for the next petri dish.
