Study On Automatic Transport System For Tissue Culture Plantlet

At present, the transplant of tissue culture plantlet is done by hand, which has several problems such as labour compression and high cost. So it has great meaning to research automatic system of tissue culture plantlet transplant. This article is a part of study on tissue culture plantlet transplant robot, which designs the automatic transport system of tissue culture plantlet.This paper discusses the researching actuality inland and overseas of tissue culture plantlet transplant robot.Based on the process of hand work, this article determines the execution process and implements, and chooses the plantlet bottle, which not only fits the requirement of tissue culture, but also makes convenience for the operation of manipulator. According to the actuality of production, designs the lining-up mechanism of plantlet bottles and equidistant space mechanism, open lip manipulator, and bottle body manipulator. All the above mechanism implements the procession of open bottles' lips, which makes it be possible to operate tissue culture plantlet for the following work processes. The opening manipulator adopts electromagnet as the drive component of linear movement. The four-bar linkage is designed to convert the motion of electromagnet, which makes the configuration compactness and satisfies the requirement of operation. In the control system, based on a piece of chip with ARM kernel and with the μC/OS-Ⅱ as operating system, the multitask control system is exploited, which achieves the aim of automatically control. The result of trail-production indicates that the automatically transport system of tissue culture plantlet can accomplish what the work requires.
