[0002] The human gastrointestinal tract is home to a wide variety of microorganisms, known as the gut microbiota. These microorganisms are combined in a certain proportion, and each microorganism restrains and depends on the others, forming an ecological balance in terms of both quality and quantity.

[0003] The gut microbiota responds to the nutrients consumed by the host through various hormones and to the host's state. They also produce compounds that signal systems within the body, including neurotransmitters (such as γ-aminobutyric acid), amino acids (such as tyrosine and tryptophan; tryptophan can be converted into mood-regulating molecules, dopamine, and serotonin), and many other substances. These nutrients play a vital role in human health, and their deficiency can lead to various diseases. During the cultivation of gut microbiota, low-temperature storage is necessary. Existing storage devices are prone to uneven cooling of the microbiota during storage, and the distribution of the microbiota in the culture medium is also inconsistent.

[0016] The present invention also provides a method for storing microbial communities, comprising the following steps:

[0017] SS001, Pre-placement: Before operation, open the sealing door and place the bacteria to be stored into each culture tube. After the bacteria are placed, place the culture tubes into the placement cylinders in each placement module in sequence. After placement, close the sealing door. After the sealing door is closed, the air pump fills each clamp with air until the monitoring value of the air pressure sensor reaches the set threshold.

[0018] SS002. Storage Operation: During storage, the refrigeration unit, in conjunction with a temperature probe, maintains the internal temperature of the tank at a set low. During storage, the servo motor operates periodically. Within the servo motor's cycle, the inner rotating tube drives the main rotating seat to revolve. During this revolve, the outer bushing drives the upper gear ring to rotate via a transmission gear. The rotation of the upper gear ring then causes the main rotating seat to rotate at a set speed simultaneously with its revolve. During this rotation, due to the meshing connection between the driven gear and the lower gear ring, the placement cylinder also rotates synchronously with the main rotating seat. Through this rotation, the storage tank... Each culture tube is cooled evenly, and the electromagnetic ring is periodically energized during the working cycle of the servo motor. During the energizing cycle of the electromagnetic ring, a repulsive force is generated between the electromagnetic ring and the permanent magnet ring. After the repulsive force is generated, the excitation cylinder moves upward. By controlling the energizing cycle of the electromagnetic ring, the up-and-down vibration frequency of the excitation cylinder can be effectively controlled. By controlling the current supplied to the electromagnetic ring, the up-and-down displacement stroke of the excitation cylinder can be effectively controlled. After the excitation cylinder vibrates, it then acts on the culture tube through the support ring. After the support ring acts on the culture tube, it causes the culture tube to vibrate up and down. When it is necessary to remove the culture tube, the sealing door is opened, and the removal of the stored culture tube can be completed.

[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a microbial community storage device and storage method, which has the following beneficial effects.

[0021] 1. This invention, through the arrangement of placement modules, refrigeration mechanisms, and other structures, enables the device to efficiently complete the storage and cultivation of microbial communities. Furthermore, during the storage of microbial communities, this device transforms the traditional static storage structure into a dynamic storage structure. During operation, the servo motor operates periodically. Within the working cycle of the servo motor, the inner rotating tube drives the main rotating seat to revolve. During the revolve motion of the main rotating seat, the outer bushing drives the upper gear ring to rotate through the transmission gear. After the upper gear ring rotates, the main rotating seat then rotates at a set speed while revolving. When the main rotating seat rotates, due to the meshing connection between the driven gear and the lower gear ring, the placement cylinder also rotates synchronously when the main rotating seat rotates. Through the occurrence of the above rotation, each culture tube is cooled evenly.

[0022] 2. This invention adds an oscillation mechanism for the bacterial community to the traditional storage device by setting up an electromagnetic ring and a permanent magnet ring. During operation, the electromagnetic ring is periodically energized within the working cycle of the servo motor. During the energizing cycle of the electromagnetic ring, a repulsive force is generated between the electromagnetic ring and the permanent magnet ring. After the repulsive force is generated, it drives the excitation cylinder to move upward. By controlling the energizing cycle of the electromagnetic ring, the up-and-down vibration frequency of the excitation cylinder can be effectively controlled. By controlling the current supplied to the electromagnetic ring, the up-and-down displacement stroke of the excitation cylinder can be effectively controlled. After the excitation cylinder vibrates, it then acts on the culture tube through the support ring. After the support ring acts on the culture tube, it causes the culture tube to vibrate up and down. Through the occurrence of up-and-down vibration of the culture tube, the bacterial community is uniformly distributed in the culture tube. Attached Figure Description
