[0025] The algae cultivation device is connected to the nutrient solution tank 4 through the replenishment pipe 2, and the nutrient solution in the culture box 1 is automatically supplemented and added through the replenishment pump 3, which saves manpower; after adding the nutrient solution, the algae is put in through the algae feed port 7, and after the algae are put in, the piston 8 is closed to ensure the sealing of the culture box 1 to prevent external pollutants from entering the culture box 1 and affecting the reproduction of algae; the aeration component is turned on to aerate the nutrient solution in the culture box 1 to ensure the oxygen concentration in the nutrient solution; the circulating water pump 6 is turned on to suck the nutrient solution in the culture box 1 from the bottom and then flow down from the top, so that the nutrient solution in the culture box 1 is continuously circulated to simulate the living water environment for the growth of algae, which is more conducive to simulating the natural environment for the growth of algae, and can evenly cultivate The concentration of substances in the nutrient solution; the fill light 9 is turned on and off at appropriate times to simulate the cyclic lighting of night and day; the blue-green algae sensor 23 can detect the number of blue-green algae in the incubator in real time without opening the sealed incubator 1, which is convenient for experimental records and can better study whether the substance or method has the effect of inhibiting the growth of algae; the nutrient solution after the experiment is completed is discharged through the discharge port 10; in the algae cultivation device, the lighting, running water environment, oxygen concentration, etc. for the growth and reproduction of algae can be conveniently controlled by humans, making the algae cultivation process more real and controllable, and the detection of the number of algae does not require opening the sealed incubator 1, ensuring that the culture environment is not polluted due to multiple openings for detection, making the experimental results more reliable.
[0026] To further optimize the solution, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the position where the circulating water pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the incubator 1.
[0027] The filter screen prevents algae from being pumped into the circulating water pump 6.
[0028] According to a further optimized solution, a receiving groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the culture box 1 , and the aeration component is arranged in the receiving groove 11 .
[0029] The receiving tank 11 separates the aeration component from the liquid in the culture box 1, thereby preventing the aeration component pipeline from being corroded and extending the service life of the aeration component.

[0036] Furthermore, the air pressure valve is a one-way air pressure valve.
[0037] According to a further optimized solution, a heating tube 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the incubator 1 .
[0038] The heating tube 20 can heat the nutrient solution and change the temperature of the algae growth environment.
[0039] According to a further optimized solution, a temperature sensor 21 and a liquid level sensor 22 are fixedly connected to the top of the incubator 1 .
[0040] The temperature sensor 21 can detect the temperature of the nutrient solution in the incubator 1 in real time, so as to control the start and stop of the heating tube 20 according to the measured temperature to reach the set temperature.
