[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cultivation device for marine microalgae, comprising a base 1, a fixed cylinder 4, and an adjustment mechanism disposed on the top of the base 1. The adjustment mechanism includes a fixed rod 2, a crossbar 3, and a top cover 5. The top cover 5 is movably disposed below one end of the crossbar 3 via an adjusting screw 6. A rotating ring 14 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the top cover 5 via an annular protrusion 15. The fixed cylinder 4 is fixedly disposed at the center of the top of the base 1. A tray 11 is disposed on the top of the base 1 corresponding to the inner side of the fixed cylinder 4 via a servo motor 10. A culture bottle 12 is placed on top of the container, and the culture bottle 12 is located inside the fixing cylinder 4 and the top cover 5. The inner wall of the fixing cylinder 4 is uniformly and circularly equipped with supplementary lights 13. The supplementary lights 13, which are evenly arranged on the outside of the culture bottle 12, facilitate the illumination of the marine microalgae inside. Furthermore, the rotation of the tray 11 and the culture bottle 12 driven by the servo motor 10 allows the marine microalgae to fully contact with light and carbon dioxide, facilitating the cultivation of marine microalgae. By adjusting the top cover 5, the top cover 5 can be separated from the fixing cylinder 4, making it easy to remove the culture bottle 12 and obtain the cultivated marine microalgae, which is highly practical.

[0024] In this embodiment, the base 1 has an inner cavity 9. The servo motor 10 is fixedly installed at the center of the inner cavity 9. The tray 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the output shaft of the servo motor 10. The servo motor 10 facilitates the rotation and adjustment of the tray 11, which allows the culture bottle 12 to be rotated in the forward direction, shaking the marine microalgae and facilitating its full contact with carbon dioxide and light.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing rod 2 is fixedly installed on the top of one end of the base 1, one end of the crossbar 3 is rotatably fixed to the top of the fixing rod 2, the adjusting screw 6 is screwed to the inside of the other end of the crossbar 3, the adjusting screw 6 is rotatably fixed to the top of the upper cover 5, and a knob is fixedly provided at the top of the adjusting screw 6. An air supply pipe 8 and an insertion pipe 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the upper cover 5, respectively. The tops of the air supply pipe 8 and the insertion pipe 7 are slidably installed inside the crossbar 3. A valve is installed at the top of the air supply pipe 8, and a rubber stopper is installed at the top of the insertion pipe 7. The bottom ends of the air supply pipe 8 and the insertion pipe 7 are inserted into the inside of the culture bottle 12. The upper cover 5 can be raised and lowered by the knob and the adjusting screw 6, which facilitates the separation and locking operation between the upper cover 5 and the fixing cylinder 4. The upper cover 5 can be limited by the air supply pipe 8 and the insertion pipe 7, which also facilitates the addition of culture medium, marine microalgae and the introduction of carbon dioxide into the culture bottle 12, thus facilitating the cultivation of marine microalgae.

[0026] In this embodiment, the annular protrusion 15 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the upper cover 5, and the rotating ring 14 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the annular protrusion 15. The bottom end of the rotating ring 14 is provided with a recessed portion, which can limit the rotation of the rotating ring 14 through the annular protrusion 15. The rotating ring 14 is fitted onto the outer side of the top of the culture flask 12. A first rubber pad 16 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the recessed portion, and the first rubber pad 16 is in close contact with the outer wall of the culture flask 12. The supplemental light 13 is disposed on the outer side of the culture flask 12, and the upper cover 5 is snapped onto the top of the fixing cylinder 4. A second rubber pad 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the upper cover 5 between it and the fixed cylinder 4. When the upper cover 5 is lowered, it can drive the rotating ring 14 to squeeze the upper end of the culture bottle 12, thereby fixing the culture bottle 12. At the same time, the rotating ring 14 can also rotate through the annular protrusion 15, which facilitates the subsequent rotation and shaking of the culture bottle 12. The first rubber pad 16 can improve the friction and stability between the rotating ring 14 and the culture bottle 12. The second rubber pad 17 can seal the upper cover 5 and the fixed cylinder 4 to prevent bacteria and other contaminants from affecting the cultivation of marine microalgae.

[0027] When using this marine microalgae cultivation device, the top of the air supply pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the oxygen supply equipment. By rotating the adjusting screw 6 with a knob, the adjusting screw 6 moves inside the crossbar 3, causing the upper cover 5 to move upwards. The top of the upper cover 5 contacts the bottom of the crossbar 3. The crossbar 3 is rotated and adjusted at the top of the fixing rod 2, causing the upper cover 5 to move away from the fixing cylinder 4. The device and the culture bottle 12 are then sterilized. The sterilized culture bottle 12 is placed inside the fixing cylinder 4 on top of the corresponding tray 11. At this time, the culture bottle 12... Inside the evenly spaced supplementary lights 13, rotate the crossbar 3 and the upper cover 5 in the opposite direction to adjust the upper cover 5 and the crossbar 3 to the top of the fixed cylinder 4 and the culture bottle 12. Rotate the knob and the adjusting screw 6 in the opposite direction. Through the screwing action between the adjusting screw 6 and the crossbar 3, the upper cover 5 moves downward. The upper cover 5 also causes the gas supply tube 8 and the insertion tube 7 to slide inside the crossbar 3. The bottom end of the upper cover 5 is engaged with the top end of the fixed cylinder 4, and the second rubber gasket 17 seals the upper cover 5 and the fixed cylinder 4. The bottom ends of the gas supply tube 8 and the insertion tube 7 are sealed. The rotating ring 14 is inserted into the culture flask 12, and is fixed to the top of the culture flask 12 by the first rubber pad 16. Culture medium is added into the culture flask 12 through the insertion tube 7, followed by the addition and inoculation of marine microalgae. The air supply tube 8 is sealed with a valve, and the insertion tube 7 is sealed with a rubber stopper. The supplemental lighting 13 is activated as needed to irradiate the marine microalgae for 12 hours. During the irradiation, the servo motor 10 is activated, which drives the tray 11 and the culture flask 12 to rotate, while the rotating ring 14 rotates through the ring... The rotation of the protrusion 15 improves the stability of the culture bottle 12 and shakes the marine microalgae, allowing them to fully contact with carbon dioxide and light, thus facilitating their cultivation. After 12 hours, all supplemental lights 13 are turned off, allowing the marine microalgae to be cultivated in the dark. After cultivation, the upper cover 5 is raised and adjusted using the knob and adjusting screw 6, separating it from the fixing cylinder 4. The upper cover 5 is then removed using the fixing rod 2 and the crossbar 3, allowing the culture bottle 12 to be taken out and the marine microalgae to be obtained, thus improving the practicality of the device.
