Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of active bacteria research technology, specifically a storage device for research on microecological preparations. Background Technology
[0002] Microecological preparations, also known as live bacteria preparations or probiotics, refer to preparations made using the principles of microecology and special processes that utilize beneficial and harmless probiotics or probiotic growth-promoting substances. When researchers study microecological preparations, they first place the preparation in a test tube, then store the test tube in a sealed container. However, existing storage devices, when the target microecological preparation is removed and the sealed container is opened, connect the container to the external environment, increasing the risk of microbial contamination. External microorganisms, dust, and particulate matter can enter the sealed container, contaminating the microecological preparation and affecting its quality and efficacy. Furthermore, the internal temperature may change due to the entry of external heat, which is detrimental to some temperature-sensitive microecological preparations, potentially leading to reduced activity or inactivation.

[0016] 1. This storage device for microecological preparation research, by setting up a discharge mechanism, allows the target test tube to be taken out without fully opening the storage box when it is necessary to take out a single microecological preparation for inspection.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of a storage device for the research of microecological preparations provided by the present invention.
[0035] Example 1:
[0036] Combination Figures 1-3As shown, the present invention provides a storage device for microecological preparations for research, including a storage box 100 for storing microecological preparations. A conveyor frame 101 is fixedly connected to the storage box 100, and a cover plate is hinged to the conveyor frame 101. The storage box 100 is provided with a discharge mechanism 200 for discharging microecological preparations. When it is necessary to take out a single microecological preparation for inspection, it is not necessary to fully open the storage box 100; the target test tube 206 can be taken out. This saves time and effort and reduces interference with other test tubes 206. It can effectively isolate the microecological preparations inside the storage box 100 from the external environment, preventing contamination and external interference. The storage box 100 is equipped with a monitoring mechanism 300 for viewing the microecological preparations, which monitors the activity of the microecological preparations in real time. By periodically detecting the activity indicators of the microecological preparations, such as cell viability, metabolites, and enzyme activity, the state and changes of the microecological preparations can be understood. This helps to evaluate the quality and efficacy of the microecological preparations and take timely measures to adjust or update them. The storage box 100 is also equipped with a control mechanism 400 for positioning the microecological preparations, which can accurately stop the target microecological preparations in the corresponding positions. This can avoid confusion and cross-contamination between microecological preparations, ensure the correct removal of the target test tube 206, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.
[0037] The discharging mechanism 200 includes a turntable 201 installed inside the storage tank 100. Multiple conveying grooves 203 are provided on the turntable 201. A load-bearing plate 204 is slidably connected to each conveying groove 203. A base 205 is fixedly connected to the load-bearing plate 204. Test tubes 206 are placed on the base 205. Microecological preparations are placed into the test tubes 206. A sealing plate 214 is provided on the test tubes 206. A tension spring 210 is fixedly connected between the conveying grooves 203 and the load-bearing plate 204. The storage tank 100 is equipped with a... When the test tube 206 needs to be removed, the turntable 201 rotates, and the test tube 206 moves with the turntable 201 to the position of the conveyor frame 101. Then, the test tube 206 at the corresponding position can be pushed out. The load plate 204 can continue to ensure the sealing of the storage box 100, preventing external bacteria from entering the storage box 100, ensuring the stability of the microecological preparation environment inside the box, and preventing the invasion of external microorganisms.
[0038] Specifically, a conveying port is provided between the conveying frame 101 and the storage box 100. The size of the conveying port is adapted to the size of the load plate 204, which can further improve the sealing of the storage box 100 after the material is discharged.
[0039] Furthermore, a cooler 102 is fixedly installed on the storage box 100, and a display panel 103 is also installed on the storage box 100. The low temperature environment can effectively prevent the deterioration and degradation of the microecological preparation. The microecological preparation is sensitive to temperature. High temperature will cause it to lose its activity or change its metabolites. This can maintain the stability and activity of the microecological preparation and extend its shelf life.
[0040] As can be seen from the embodiments, when it is necessary to take out a single microecological preparation for inspection, it is not necessary to fully open the storage box 100. The target test tube 206 can be taken out, which can save time and effort and reduce interference with other test tubes 206. It can effectively isolate the microecological preparation in the storage box 100 from the external environment and prevent pollution and external interference.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the drive assembly includes a slide rod 207 fixed to the load plate 204. A groove 202 is provided in the middle of the turntable 201. The end of the slide rod 207 is inserted into the groove 202 and fixedly connected to a top block 208, which is conical. A screw 212 is rotatably mounted on the storage box 100. A load sleeve 211 is threaded onto the screw 212. A limit strip is fixed to the inner top wall of the storage box 100. A limit sleeve 213, slidably connected to the limit strip, is fixed to the load sleeve 211. A push block 209 for pressing the top block 208 is fixed to the bottom end of the load sleeve 211. The outer side of 209 is provided with a slope, and the storage box 100 is provided with a displacement component 215 for removing the sealing plate 214. The target test tube 206 moves to the conveyor frame 101, and then the screw 212 is rotated to drive the load sleeve 211 to descend. The displacement component 215 removes the sealing plate 214. Then the push block 209 descends and squeezes the top block 208 so that it pushes the load plate 204 through the slide rod 207. The load plate 204 pushes the test tube 206 out through the base 205. Then the staff can take out the target test tube 206. The test tube 206 can be taken out while ensuring the sealing of the storage box 100.
[0043] Specifically, the displacement assembly 215 includes a connecting shaft 2155 rotatably mounted and fixedly connected to the sealing plate 214, a damping shaft 2152 rotatably mounted on the load plate 204, a bevel gear 2154 meshing with the damping shaft 2152 and the connecting shaft 2155, a spur gear a2153 mounted on the damping shaft 2152, and a rack a2151 corresponding to the spur gear a2153 fixedly connected to the load sleeve 211. The rack a2151 first contacts the spur gear a2153, driving the damping shaft 2152 to rotate. The damping shaft 2152 drives the connecting shaft 2155 to rotate through the bevel gear 2154, thus moving the sealing plate 214 away. Using a single power source can reduce the equipment manufacturing cost, and the sealing plate 214 can be closed inside the storage box 100, further ensuring the sealing effect of the microecological preparation in the test tube 206.
[0044] The middle of the push block 209 is a protruding structure, and the outer side of the push block 209 is arc-shaped, which makes it easier to press the top block 208 to move, reduces the friction between the push block 209 and the top block 208, and makes the movement of the base 205 smoother.
[0045] As can be seen from the embodiment, when the test tube 206 is placed, the screw 212 can be rotated to make the push block 209 descend. At this time, the rack a2151 is not on the same plane as the spur gear a2153. Then the turntable 201 drives multiple bases 205 to rotate in a ring. At this time, the top block 208 contacts the push block 209 and moves outward, which can push the base 205 out. Then the staff puts the test tube 206 on the base 205. Then the staff rotates the screw 212 to make the push block 209 rise. Then the tension spring 210 pulls the load plate 204, which can then send the test tube 206 into the storage box 100. Multiple test tubes 206 are placed in a sealed box and can be placed at different locations on the turntable 201 to avoid scattering and confusion.
[0046] Example 3:
[0047] Combination Figure 2 Figure 6As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the monitoring mechanism 300 includes an electron microscope 301 fixed to the storage box 100 for detecting microecological preparations, a spur gear b306 fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 2155, and a rack b302 fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 2155 for removing the sealing plate 214. When it is necessary to detect the reagent in the test tube 206, the turntable 201 rotates, causing the test tube 206 to move. Subsequently, the connecting shaft 2155 moves with the test tube 206, and then the spur gear b306 meshes with the rack b302, thereby driving the connecting shaft 2155 to rotate. The sealing plate 214 can be removed, allowing the electron microscope 301 to detect the reagent. After detection, the turntable 201 continues to rotate for the next reagent. The storage box 100 provides a sterile environment, preventing external contamination of the microecological preparation. During the detection process, the sterility of the microecological preparation is ensured, avoiding interference from external microorganisms. Connecting the electron microscope 301 and the storage box 100 to a computer or network enables automated detection and real-time monitoring and recording of the microecological preparation's detection results. This facilitates data analysis and remote monitoring.
[0048] Specifically, a motor 303 is fixedly installed inside the storage box 100. A spur gear c304 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 303. A gear ring 305 that meshes with the spur gear c304 is fitted on the turntable 201. When the motor 303 starts, it drives the spur gear c304 to rotate. The spur gear c304 drives the turntable 201 to rotate through the gear ring 305. This allows for the automated detection of multiple reagents, which helps to improve work efficiency.
[0049] As can be seen from the embodiments, by combining the detection instrument with the sealed box, the detection of microecological preparations in multiple test tubes 206 can be carried out in a closed environment, which can reduce the operation steps and time, and improve the efficiency of research and production.
[0050] Example 4:
[0051] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the control mechanism 400 includes a magnetic encoder 402 fixedly mounted on the storage box 100, a connecting plate 401 fixedly connected to the outside of the base 205, and multiple connecting plates 401 respectively fixedly connected to magnetic induction plates b406 with different electrical signals. A storage frame 404 is fixedly mounted on the storage box 100, and multiple magnetic induction plates a403 corresponding to the magnetic induction plates b406 are placed in the storage frame 404. When it is necessary to take out the target test tube 206, the corresponding magnetic induction plate a403 is placed in the storage box 100. Once the magnetic induction plate b406 moves into the positioning slot 405, the turntable 201 rotates. When the corresponding magnetic induction plate b406 moves to the positioning slot 405, the turntable 201 stops moving, allowing it to quickly locate the required test tube 206. The rotation of the turntable 201 can be easily stopped, positioning the target test tube 206 in a suitable position. This facilitates sampling, observation, or other operations, improving operational convenience and comfort. The magnetic induction plate b406 on the turntable 201 moves with its rotation. When the magnetic induction plate b406 passes the magnetic induction plate a403, the magnetic encoder 402 determines the position or movement state of the turntable by measuring the change in the magnetic field.
[0052] Specifically, a positioning groove 405 for mounting the magnetic induction plate a403 is fixed on the conveying frame 101. The positioning groove 405 and the magnetic induction plate b406 are located on the same plane. The control of the external magnetic induction plate a403 should be convenient and flexible to meet the selection and operation requirements of different test tube 206 positions.
[0053] As can be seen from the above embodiments: First, the microecological preparation is placed into the test tube 206. Then, the motor 303 starts and drives the spur gear c304 to rotate. The spur gear c304 drives the turntable 201 to rotate through the gear ring 305. The rotating screw 212 drives the load sleeve 211 to descend. The shifting component 215 moves the sealing plate 214 away. Then, the push block 209 descends and squeezes the top block 208 so that it pushes the load plate 204 through the slide rod 207. The load plate 204 pushes the base 205 out. Then, the staff puts the test tube 206 on the base 205. The staff rotates the screw 212 to make the push block 209 rise. Then, the tension spring 210 pulls the load plate 204, and then the test tube 206 can be sent into the storage box 100. Repeating the above steps can complete the storage of the microecological preparation.
