The feeding valve is closed, the first solenoid valve 121 is opened, the air pump inflates the first accommodating cavity 15 through the first air pipe 153. Under the action of air pressure, a volume of the first accommodating cavity 15 gradually increases, thus, the first pushing plate 151 is driven to move toward one end close to the second feeding port 12. At this time, the volume of the first accommodating cavity 15 is gradually increased, and then all the material is pushed into the second feeding port 12. This arrangement prevents the material from remaining in the batching box 1, improves the proportioning accuracy of the culture medium, and prevents blockage at the same time.

[0029] The present application is not limited to any reset mode of the first pushing plate 151.

At this time, each of the first solenoid valves 121 is closed, the air pump inflates the second accommodating cavity 25 through the second air pipe 253, a volume of the second accommodating cavity 25 is gradually increased, so that the second pushing plate 251 is driven downward to reduce a volume of the mixing chamber, the air in the mixing chamber is compressed, and the air pressure is increased, a high-pressure environment is formed in the mixing chamber, which is helpful to eliminate miscellaneous bacteria and improve the quality of the culture medium.

[0033] In the proportions of the culture medium, gel is usually added. Because of the characteristics of the gel, it is easy to solidify the materials in the mixing process. For this, in this embodiment, a lower wall surface of the mixing chamber is provided with a heating resistance wire 26. In this way, the mixed materials can be heated, and kept at a certain temperature to prevent solidification, moreover, cooperating with the second pushing assembly, high temperature and high pressure can be achieved, and the mixed materials are disinfected at high temperature and high pressure, miscellaneous bacteria in the mixed material are eliminated, and the production quality of the culture medium is further improved.

[0034] The present application is not limited to any reset mode of the second pushing plate

251. A negative pressure may be provided to the second accommodating cavity 25 by the air pump, so that the volume of the second accommodating cavity 25 is reduced under the air pressure, thereby driving the second pushing plate 251 to reset.

251. After the mixed materials are treated at high temperature and high pressure, the second exhaust port 252 is opened, and the air in the second accommodating cavity 25 is discharged. At this time, the second return spring 2511 in a stretched state returns back, and drives the second pushing plate 251 to return, thereby the mixing device can be operated normally. This arrangement has simple structure and cost saving.

[0035] In order to lead a certain weight of mixed materials into the Petri dish a, a dispensing box structure is arranged in the dispensing channel.

A second weighing sensor 33 is arranged in the dispensing box body 3, a second solenoid valve 321 is arranged between the dispensing box body 3 and the second dispensing port 32 and communicated with the second weighing sensor 33. The mixed materials are introduced into the dispensing box body 3 through the first dispensing port 31. When the second weighing sensor 33 reaches a set value, the mixing discharging port 22 is closed, and the second weighing sensor 33 controls the second solenoid valve 321 to open, so that the certain weight of mixed materials is led out to the Petri dish a from the second dispensing port 32. This arrangement facilitates the operation and improves the production efficiency.

[0036] Further, in this embodiment, referring to Fig. 1, in order to introduce all the mixed materials in the dispensing box body 3 into the Petri dish a, the dispensing box structure also includes a third pushing assembly. The third pushing assembly includes a third pushing plate 341 arranged in the dispensing box body 3.

The third accommodating cavity 34 is communicated with a third air pipe 343. The third air pipe 343 is in communication with an air pump. At this time, the mixing discharging port 22 is closed, and the second solenoid valve 321 is opened, the air pump inflates the third accommodating cavity 34 through the third air pipe 343. A volume of the third accommodating cavity 34 is gradually enlarged, so that the third pushing plate 341 is driven to move toward one end close to the second dispensing port 32, and pushes all the materials into the second dispensing port 32. This arrangement prevents the materials from remaining in the dispensing box body 3, improves the proportioning accuracy of the culture medium, and prevents blockage at the same time.

[0037] The present application is not limited to any reset mode of the third pushing plate 341. A negative pressure may be provided to the third accommodating cavity 34 by the air pump, so that the volume of the third accommodating cavity 34 is reduced under the air pressure, theretk}501274 driving the third pushing plate 341 to reset. In this embodiment, the third pushing assembly further includes a third return spring 3411 arranged in the third accommodating cavity 34, one end of the third return spring 3411 is connected with the third pushing plate 341, the other end is connected to an inner side wall of the third accommodating cavity 34 opposite to the third pushing plate 341. A third exhaust port 342 is provided on the inner side wall of the third accommodating cavity 34. After the third pushing plate 341 pushes the mixed materials into the second dispensing port 32, the third pushing plate 341 drives the third return spring 3411 to make the third return spring 3411 in a stretched state. At this time, the third exhaust port 342 is opened, the air in the third accommodating cavity 34 is discharged, and the pressure in the third accommodating cavity 34 is balanced with the atmosphere, the third return spring 3411 drives the third pushing plate 341 to return.
