Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microbial sampling, in particular to a device for sampling air microorganisms in public areas. Background Art

[0002] Microbial sampling in public areas is a method for detecting air environmental indicators in public areas. The commonly used sampling device is a six-stage sieve hole impactor air microbial sampler. The six-stage sieve hole impactor air microbial sampler is composed of six impactors combined into one. Each stage is actually a single-stage sampler. Each single-stage sampler includes a disc with tiny holes and a culture dish with agar placed under the disc. Each disc has four hundred tiny holes arranged in a circle, which decrease layer by layer and have a standard sampling flow rate of 1 cubic foot (28.3L / min). The six single-stage samplers are firmly connected together by three spring hooks, and the gas is passed in from the sampling port on the top layer. Because the sizes of microbial particles in the air are different, the size and direction of the speed generated by the airflow are different. Microbial particles of different sizes impact the agar surface of the corresponding culture dish according to their aerodynamic characteristics.

[0003] In the sampling process of the existing technology, the lid of the culture dish with agar needs to be opened before it is placed in the sampling device. During this process, the agar in the sampling culture dish is always exposed to the air, and particles in the environment may directly adhere to the culture medium. At the same time, the operator needs to hold his breath during the placement and recovery process to reduce the impact of exhaled gas on the sampling results. However, operational risks and environmental maintenance risks may cause false positives or false negatives in the sampling results, which may still affect the sampling results.

[0004] The information disclosed in the background technology section of this application is only intended to deepen the understanding of the general background technology of this application, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 The present invention provides a public area air microorganism sampling device, which includes a main unit 100, a culture dish 200 and a chassis 300. A plurality of culture dishes 200 stacked in a vertical direction are arranged in the main unit 100, and the main unit 100 is connected to the chassis 300 for air extraction and sampling.

[0048] The main unit 100 includes a housing 110, a sealing member 120, a base 130, and several impact assemblies 140. The impact assemblies 140 are disposed within the housing 110. The housing 110 is detachably mounted on the base 130, and the stacked culture dishes 200 are mounted on the base 130. Both ends of the housing 110 are open, and a detachable cover 111 is disposed at one end of the housing 110. The cover 111 is removed during sampling to allow ambient sample air to enter the housing 110.

[0049] Several impact assemblies 140 are equidistantly arranged in the vertical direction. Each impact assembly 140 includes a base plate 170 and a porous plate 150. The base plate 170 is provided with a through hole in the middle. Each porous plate 150 is composed of a plurality of unit plates 180 rotatably connected to the base plate 170. Each unit plate 180 is provided with a plurality of tiny holes.

[0050] The culture dish 200 includes a dish bottom 210 and a dish cover 220. The diameter of the dish bottom 210 is the same as the diameter of the dish cover 220. The dish cover 220 covers the dish bottom 210. An agar layer is provided in the dish bottom 210 for collecting microbial particles. The diameter of the through hole in the middle of the substrate 170 is the same as the diameter of the culture dish 200. Several stacked culture dishes 200 are arranged in the through holes in the middle of several substrates 170. Each impact assembly 140 corresponds to each culture dish 200.

[0051] The impact assembly 140 has an open state and a closed state. When the impact assembly 140 is in the open state, all the porous plates 150 are retracted, the central space of the impact assembly 140 is through, and multiple culture dishes 200 are stacked in sequence and placed in the space in the middle of the impact assembly 140, and are in an unopened state; when the impact assembly 140 is closed, the porous plates 150 are unfolded, the porous plates 150 cover the through holes in the middle of the substrate 170, and the porous plates 150 separate the bottom 210 and the cover 220 of each corresponding culture dish 200, and multiple culture dishes 200 are opened.

[0052] The seal 120 is an annular structure and is disposed on the impact assembly 140 to prevent the sampled air from flowing into the lower end of the housing 110 from between the impact assembly 140 and the inner wall surface of the housing 110 .

[0053] It should be added that the chassis 300 includes an air pump, the output end of the air pump is connected to the base 130, and there is an air vent 132 in the middle of the base 130. During sampling, the cover 111 is opened, and the air pump is used to pump air, so that the air in the area to be sampled enters the shell 110, and the air flow direction is from one end of the shell 110 where the cover 111 is set to the end of the shell 110 connected to the base 130, so that the sampled air flows through several culture dishes 200 in the open state in turn. The sampled air enters through the upper end of the shell 110, and after hitting the agar culture medium of the culture dish 200 from the top porous plate 150, it enters the space where the next porous plate 150 is located through the gap between the porous plate 150 and the culture dish 200, and then enters from the next porous plate 150 and hits the agar culture medium of the next culture dish 200. The sampled air passes through multiple porous plates 150 in turn.

[0054] In a further embodiment, the impact assembly 140 further includes a rotating plate 160 and a plurality of connecting rods 190. The rotating plate 160 is an annular structure. A plurality of slide grooves are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the rotating plate 160. A plurality of cylindrical pins are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the rotating plate 160. Each cylindrical pin corresponds to each slide groove one by one and the cylindrical pins slide in the slide groove. The rotating plate 160 is rotatably disposed on the base plate 170, and the sealing member 120 is fixedly disposed on the rotating plate 160.

[0055] The connecting rod 190 corresponds to the unit plate 180 one by one, one end of the connecting rod 190 is rotatably connected to the unit plate 180 through a pin hole connection, and the other end of the connecting rod 190 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 160 through a pin hole connection; the end of the unit plate 180 hinged to the base plate 170 is close to the through hole of the base plate 170, and the end of the unit plate 180 hinged to the connecting rod 190 rotates around the hinge point between the unit plate 180 and the base plate 170.

[0056] The rotating plate 160 is rotated in one direction, and the plurality of unit plates 180 spread in the circumferential direction of the base plate 170 to form a space in the middle of the impact assembly 140 that can allow the culture dish 200 to pass through. Figure 9 , rotating the rotating plate 160 in the opposite direction, the multiple unit plates 180 gather toward the center of the base plate 170 to form a closed porous plate 150, covering the through hole in the middle of the base plate 170, please refer to Figure 10 .

The lid 220 of the second culture dish 202 is lifted a certain distance from the bottom 210 of the dish. At this time, the second culture dish 202 is opened, and the lid 220 of the second culture dish 202 and the other unopened culture dishes 200 placed thereon are lifted the same distance.
