Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microbial culture, and more specifically, to a brucellosis pathogen culture device. Background Art

[0002] Brucellosis, also known as brucellosis, is an infectious disease caused by the invasion of bacteria from the genus Brucella. It is a zoonosis that can infect a variety of mammals, including cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, deer, and humans. In the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases," brucellosis is classified as a Category B infectious disease, and its incidence ranks among the top ten infectious diseases in Category A and B. Cases often present with fever, excessive sweating, muscle and joint pain, fatigue, and enlarged liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. Severe cases can cause miscarriage and infertility in both humans and animals. In my country, common reservoirs of brucellosis are goats, dairy cows, and beef cattle. The disease is spreading from pastoral areas to semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas, and further to urban areas. Therefore, brucellosis prevention and control is of great significance for safeguarding public health and the healthy development of animal husbandry, tourism, and international trade.

[0003] Brucella is a Gram-negative bacterium with a spherical or coccobacilli-shaped body, approximately 0.6-1.5 μm long and 0.5-0.7 μm wide. It does not form spores or capsules, lacks flagella, is nonmotile, requires oxygen, and has high nutritional requirements. Its culture is characterized by slow growth and reproduction, making traditional blood culture instruments and culture bottles inadequately suited for Brucella. Therefore, laboratory culture and research of Brucella require specialized culture equipment to meet its growth requirements and prevent cross-contamination with other microorganisms.

[0004] In the existing technology, brucellosis pathogens are usually cultured in culture dishes and then placed in incubators for culture. However, in the process of large-scale culture of brucellosis pathogens, sometimes the incubator height is too high, which may cause inconvenience in taking the culture dish. When the incubator height is too high, the experimenter needs to frequently tiptoe, bend over or use tools such as ladders to take the culture dish, which not only increases the complexity of the operation, but may also cause the culture dish to fall or be damaged due to improper operation, thereby affecting the culture effect.

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A brucellosis pathogen culture device includes an incubator 1, two symmetrically distributed connecting frames 2 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the incubator 1, a plurality of culture dishes 4 are arranged between the two connecting frames 2, and a horizontal plate 3 is fixedly connected to the tops of the two connecting frames 2. The device also includes:

[0029] A height adjustment component, located between the two connecting frames 2, for adjusting the height of the multiple culture dishes 4 in the incubator 1;

[0030] The driving assembly is located above the horizontal plate 3 and is used to drive the height adjustment assembly to work. The brucellosis pathogen is placed in the culture dish 4.

[0031] Furthermore, the height adjustment component includes a transmission wheel 11, a transmission belt 12 and a clamping plate 13. Two transmission wheels 11 are rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two connecting frames 2. The two transmission wheels 11 are distributed up and down. A transmission belt 12 is sleeved between the two transmission wheels 11. The outer surfaces of the two transmission belts 12 are fixedly connected with multiple equidistantly distributed clamping plates 13. The rotation of the transmission wheel 11 drives the transmission belt 12 to move, and then drives the clamping plate 13 and the culture dish 4 to move up and down to achieve height adjustment.

[0032] Furthermore, the culture dish 4 is located between two corresponding adjacent clamping plates 13 on the two conveyor belts 12 , ensuring that each culture dish 4 is firmly clamped.

[0033] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a double-headed motor 5, a first pulley 6, a second pulley 7 and a belt 8. The double-headed motor 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the cross plate 3. The output ends on both sides of the double-headed motor 5 are fixedly connected to the first pulley 6. The outer surfaces of the two connecting frames 2 are rotatably connected to the second pulley 7. A belt 8 is sleeved between the first pulley 6 and the second pulley 7. The two second pulleys 7 are fixedly connected to the corresponding transmission wheels 11. The PLC controller 10 sends a signal to start the double-headed motor 5. The two output ends of the double-headed motor 5 rotate at the same time, driving the two first pulleys 6 to rotate. Through the transmission of the belt 8, the two second pulleys 7 also rotate accordingly. Since the second pulley 7 is fixedly connected to the corresponding transmission wheel 11, the transmission wheel 11 also starts to rotate.

[0034] Furthermore, a plurality of equally spaced heating blocks 15 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the incubator 1, and connecting wires 16 are fixedly connected between the plurality of heating blocks 15. A power switch controller 9 is fixedly mounted on the rear outer surface of the incubator 1, and the power switch controller 9 is electrically connected to the adjacent heating blocks 15. If the temperature needs to be adjusted, the PLC controller 10 will send a signal to the power switch controller 9 to control the opening or closing of the heating blocks 15 to maintain the temperature in the incubator 1 within a preset range.

[0035] Furthermore, a temperature sensor 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the transverse plate 3 , and the PLC controller 10 determines whether the working state of the heating block 15 needs to be adjusted according to a preset temperature range and data fed back by the temperature sensor 14 .

[0036] Furthermore, a PLC controller 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the incubator 1. The PLC controller 10 is electrically connected to the double-headed motor 5, the power switch controller 9 and the temperature sensor 14. The PLC controller 10 automatically controls the working status of components such as the double-headed motor 5 and the power switch controller 9 according to preset parameters and real-time monitoring data.

[0037] Working principle: When the staff needs to use the brucellosis pathogen culture device, the culture dish 4 is placed between the two adjacent clamping plates 13 corresponding to the two transmission belts 12 to ensure that each culture dish 4 is firmly clamped. According to the experimental requirements, the temperature range and other relevant parameters required for culture are preset through the PLC controller 10. When the height of the culture dish 4 in the incubator 1 needs to be adjusted, the PLC controller 10 sends a signal to start the double-headed motor 5. The two output ends of the double-headed motor 5 rotate at the same time, driving the two first pulleys 6 to rotate. Through the transmission of the belt 8, the two second pulleys 7 also rotate accordingly. Since the second pulley 7 is fixedly connected to the corresponding transmission wheel 11, the transmission wheel 11 also starts to rotate. The rotation of the transmission wheel 11 drives the transmission belt 12 to move, and then drives the clamping plate 13 and the culture dish 4 to move up and down to achieve height adjustment. In the section, the temperature sensor 14 monitors the temperature in the incubator 1 in real time and feeds back the data to the PLC controller 10. The PLC controller 10 determines whether it is necessary to adjust the working state of the heating block 15 based on the preset temperature range and the data fed back by the temperature sensor 14. If the temperature needs to be adjusted, the PLC controller 10 will send a signal to the power switch controller 9 to control the opening or closing of the heating block 15 to maintain the temperature in the incubator 1 within the preset range. During the entire incubation process, the PLC controller 10 automatically controls the working states of components such as the double-headed motor 5 and the power switch controller 9 based on the preset parameters and real-time monitoring data to ensure the stability and accuracy of the incubation conditions. The operator can open the door of the incubator 1 and lower the culture dish 4 to a position convenient for removal by adjusting the height adjustment component, and then remove the culture dish 4 for subsequent processing.
