Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microbial culture, and relates to a microbial incubator for marine microorganism detection. Background Art

[0002] Microbial culture is a basic technology in biological and medical research, and is widely used in fields such as scientific research, medical treatment, industry, and environmental monitoring. A microbial incubator is the core equipment for microbial culture, which is used to provide conditions such as constant temperature, humidity, and gas environment to ensure the efficient growth of microorganisms. Since there are various microorganisms in the ocean, including aerobic bacteria, facultative anaerobic bacteria, and strict anaerobic bacteria, for aerobic bacteria, an ordinary constant temperature incubator can be used to complete the culture, while for anaerobic bacteria, an anaerobic incubator is required.

[0003] When culturing microorganisms in an anaerobic incubator, an anaerobic environment needs to be provided, and an inert gas also needs to be continuously introduced into the box body to meet the culture of microorganisms. However, the traditional anaerobic incubator is not very convenient to operate during the process of taking and placing the culture medium. A simple operation is to directly open the box door for taking and placing. Although this operation is fast for taking and placing, external air is likely to enter, and at the same time, a large amount of inert gas in the box body will also be discharged outwards. A complex operation is to add an air lock chamber. First, transfer the culture medium to the chamber, and then realize the taking and placing of the culture medium through the opening and closing adjustment of the inner door and the outer door. However, the whole operation is very troublesome, with cumbersome steps and time-consuming and laborious, so we propose a microbial incubator for marine microorganism detection to solve the above-mentioned problems.

It should be noted that the diagrams provided in the following embodiments only illustrate the basic concept of the present invention in a schematic manner. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Embodiment

[0045] As Figures 1-9As shown in the figure, a microbial incubator for marine microorganism detection includes a box body 1, four support legs 2, an air inlet pipe 3, a turntable 4, a material taking box 5, an air outlet pipe 25, a material taking and placing opening 51, and multiple groups of placement racks. The four support legs 2 are fixedly connected to the outer bottom wall of the box body 1 at equal intervals in a circular shape. The turntable 4 is hermetically rotatably connected to the inside of the box body 1. The turntable 4 divides the inside of the box body 1 into an independent culture chamber 6 and an exhaust chamber 8, and the culture chamber 6 is located above the exhaust chamber 8. The air inlet pipe 3 is arranged on one side of the box body 1 and is connected to the culture chamber 6 for the delivery of inert gas. The air outlet pipe 25 is arranged on the top of the box body 1 for the discharge of inert gas, and cooperates with the air inlet pipe 3 to form continuous delivery of inert gas. Multiple groups of placement racks are arranged on the top of the turntable 4 at equal intervals in a circular shape for placing culture dishes. The material taking box 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the box body 1 and is connected to the culture chamber 6. The material taking and placing opening 51 is opened on one side of the material taking box 5 for taking and placing culture dishes.

[0046] In one aspect of this embodiment, the placement rack includes a first vertical plate 23 and a second vertical plate 27 connected by integral molding. The first vertical plate 23 and the second vertical plate 27 are arranged at a right angle and both are attached to the top of the turntable 4, and the same placement plate 28 is fixedly connected between the inner sides. A placement groove 281 for placing culture dishes is opened on the top of the placement plate 28.

[0047] The microbial incubator further includes a driving mechanism arranged on the outer bottom wall of the box body 1 for driving the turntable 4 to rotate and adjusting the position of the placement rack. The driving mechanism includes a mounting rack 10 fixedly connected to the outer bottom wall of the box body 1. A driving motor 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting rack 10. The output shaft of the driving motor 16 rotates through the bottom of the box body 1 and extends into the exhaust chamber 8. A small gear 17 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the driving motor 16. A rotating sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 4. The bottom end of the rotating sleeve 14 rotates through the bottom wall of the box body 1 and extends downward. A large gear 19 meshing with the small gear 17 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side wall of the rotating sleeve 14 located inside the exhaust chamber 8. By starting the driving motor 16, the rotation of the rotating sleeve 14 can be driven through the meshing movement of the small gear 17 and the large gear 19, and then the turntable 4 can be driven to rotate, so as to realize the rotational adjustment of the position of the placement rack.

[0048] The present invention can be used in the field of microbial culture for marine microorganism detection, and can also be applicable to other fields of the present invention. Embodiment

[0049] This embodiment is a further improvement of the previous embodiment: As Figures 1-9As shown in the figure, the microbial incubator further includes an air extraction mechanism provided on the top of the turntable 4 and connected to multiple sets of placement racks at the same time. By driving the turntable 4 to rotate through the driving mechanism, the placement racks can be driven to rotate and move by the air extraction mechanism; the air extraction mechanism includes a piston cylinder 7 fixedly connected to the center position of the top of the turntable 4. The top of the side wall of the piston cylinder 7 is fixedly communicated with a plurality of multi-stage telescopic tubes 13 at equal intervals in a ring shape, and the telescopic ends of the plurality of multi-stage telescopic tubes 13 are respectively fixedly connected through one side of the corresponding first vertical plate 23. One-way intake valves are installed on the plurality of multi-stage telescopic tubes 13. The top of the piston cylinder 7 is fixedly communicated with a guide pipe 9, and the other end of the guide pipe 9 fixedly penetrates through one side of the top of the turntable 4 and is communicated with the exhaust cavity 8. A one-way exhaust valve is installed on the guide pipe 9. A piston assembly for extracting gas is provided in the piston cylinder 7. One side of the box body 1 is fixedly connected with an exhaust pipe 11 communicated with the exhaust cavity 8. When the placement rack composed of the first vertical plate 23 and the second vertical plate 27 is brought into the material taking box 5 through the material taking mechanism, it will contact and cooperate with the top wall and side wall of the material taking mechanism and the material taking box 5 to form a sealed space. At this time, the culture dish is placed in the placement groove 281 on the placement plate 28, so that the culture dish is located in this sealed space; due to the setting of the multi-stage telescopic tube 13, during the process of the entire placement rack entering the interior of the material taking box 5, the multi-stage telescopic tube 13 will be automatically stretched and lengthened; when the placement rack moves to correspond to the material taking and placing port 51, the culture dish can be taken out through the material taking and placing port 51. If a new culture dish needs to be put in for continuous cultivation, it can be put in again through the material taking and placing port 51. Whether a new culture dish is put in for continuous cultivation or the extraction work is continued, the placement rack needs to be pushed back to the turntable 4 through the material taking mechanism. At this time, the multi-stage telescopic tube 13 automatically retracts and shortens; when the placement rack no longer corresponds to the material taking and placing port 51, the blocking mechanism automatically closes the material taking and placing port 51 to prevent a large amount of gas in the box body 1 from leaking out. Since during the process of taking and placing materials, external air will enter the placement rack through the material taking and placing port 51 and exchange with the gas inside it, in order to prevent the external air from entering the box body 1, during the process of the placement rack moving back, a sealed space will be formed by contacting and cooperating with the inner wall of the material taking box 5, and then the gas in this sealed space will be sucked into the piston cylinder 7 through the multi-stage telescopic tube 13 by the piston assembly, and then conveyed to the exhaust cavity 8 through the guide pipe 9, and finally discharged outward from the exhaust pipe 11 and collected and processed centrally, so as to effectively prevent the external air from entering the culture cavity 6 and affecting the cultivation of other culture media.

[0050] In one aspect of this embodiment, the piston assembly includes a piston block 15 that is hermetically and slidably connected within a piston cylinder 7. A piston rod 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston block 15. The bottom end of the piston rod 18 penetrates through the top of the turntable 4 and slidably passes through the interior of the rotating sleeve 14. The bottom end of the piston rod 18 extends below the rotating sleeve 14 and is rotatably connected to a nut plate 20. A reciprocating lead screw 22 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting frame 10. The nut plate 20 is threadedly sleeved on the reciprocating lead screw 22. A first lead screw motor 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the box body 1. The output end of the first lead screw motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top end of the reciprocating lead screw 22. When the placement rack is pushed back to the culture chamber 6 by the material taking mechanism, the first lead screw motor 21 is started, driving the reciprocating lead screw 22 to rotate, and simultaneously driving the nut plate 20 to move up and down. At this time, the piston block 15 can be driven by the piston rod 18 to move up and down in the piston cylinder 7 for one stroke. When the piston block 15 moves downward, the air in the sealed space can be inhaled into the piston cylinder 7 through the multi-stage telescopic tube 13. Conversely, when the piston block 15 moves upward, the air inhaled into the piston cylinder 7 can be conveyed to the exhaust chamber 8 through the air duct 9 and finally discharged outward from the exhaust pipe 11, thereby achieving the effect of removing external air. Additionally, during the process of starting the drive motor 16 to drive the turntable 4 to rotate, the turntable 4 will also drive the piston cylinder 7 to rotate, and then drive the corresponding placement racks to rotate and move through a plurality of multi-stage telescopic tubes 13, achieving the effect of position adjustment. At the same time, the rotation of the piston cylinder 7 also drives the piston block 15 to rotate, causing the piston rod 18 to rotate together with the rotating sleeve 14. Since the piston rod 18 is rotatably connected to the nut plate 20, there will be no interference between the position adjustment of the placement rack and the air extraction function. Embodiment

[0051] This embodiment is a further improvement of the previous embodiment: As Figures 1-9As shown in the figure, the microbial incubator further includes a material taking mechanism disposed in the material taking box 5 and used in cooperation with the placement rack to complete the taking out and putting in of the culture dish. During the taking out and putting in process, they can cooperate with each other to form a sealed state for the storage space of the culture dish. In this sealed state, the air in the sealed space can be pumped into the exhaust cavity 8 through the air extraction mechanism, thereby effectively isolating the entry of oxygen. The material taking mechanism includes a docking plate 34 that fits and slides on the bottom wall, top wall, and side wall near the material taking and placing opening 51 of the material taking box 5. A driving member for driving the docking plate 34 to move back and forth is provided inside the material taking box 5. An arc-shaped concave surface is provided on one side of the docking plate 34 close to the placement rack, and an arc-shaped positioning groove 341 is opened on the arc-shaped concave surface. Arc-shaped convex surfaces adapted to the arc-shaped concave surface are provided on both the second vertical plate 27 and one side of the placement plate 28, facilitating the docking and fitting of the entire placement rack with the docking plate 34 during the rotation of the turntable 4. An arc-shaped positioning block 35 that cooperates with the arc-shaped positioning groove 341 is provided on the arc-shaped convex surface of the placement plate 28. When the entire placement rack rotates and moves with the turntable 4, one side of it can directly fit with some parts of the docking plate 34, and at the same time, the arc-shaped positioning block 35 can directly move into the arc-shaped positioning groove 341 to perform positioning connection between the placement plate 28 and the docking plate 34. Then, by driving the docking plate 34 to move back and forth through the driving member, the entire placement rack can be driven to move back and forth, moving it from the culture cavity 6 into the material taking box 5. For the convenience of movement, the bottom wall of the material taking box 5 is flush with the top of the turntable 4, enabling the docking plate 34 to smoothly move the placement rack from the culture cavity 6 into the material taking box 5.

[0052] In one aspect of this embodiment, the driving member includes a fixed block 24 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the material taking box 5 on the side away from the material taking and placing opening 51. A same one-way lead screw 32 is rotatably connected between the fixed block 24 and the inner wall of one side of the material taking box 5. An L-shaped connecting plate 33 fixedly connected to one side of the docking plate 34 is threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the one-way lead screw 32. A second lead screw motor 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material taking box 5 on the side away from the box body 1. The output shaft of the second lead screw motor 26 rotatably penetrates through one side of the material taking box 5 and is fixedly connected to one end of the one-way lead screw 32. Starting the second lead screw motor 26 to drive the one-way lead screw 32 to rotate can drive the L-shaped connecting plate 33 to move, thereby driving the docking plate 34 to move back and forth for control. When the docking plate 34 drives the entire placement rack into the culture cavity 6, if there is no need to take out other culture dishes, the placement rack can directly stay on the docking plate 34 for the culture of the culture solution. Because when the placement rack is located in the culture cavity 6, its top and the side away from the second vertical plate 27 are both in an open state. At this time, an inert gas is introduced into the culture cavity 6 to complete the culture work. When it is necessary to take out or put in other culture dishes, then start the driving motor 16 to drive the turntable 4 to rotate to adjust the position of the placement rack. Embodiment

[0053] This embodiment is a further improvement of the previous embodiment: As Figures 1-7 shown, the microbial incubator further includes a plugging mechanism disposed in the material taking box 5 and used in cooperation with the material taking mechanism to automatically open and close the material taking and placing opening 51; the plugging mechanism includes a plugging plate 12 that is hermetically and slidably connected to the inner wall of the material taking box 5 on the side close to the material taking and placing opening 51, and the plugging plate 12 is in movable contact with the docking plate 34. One side of the plugging plate 12 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 30. A same sliding rod 29 is fixedly connected between the fixed block 24 and the inner wall of one side of the material taking box 5. The connecting plate 30 is slidably sleeved on the sliding rod 29. A tension spring 31 is sleeved on the sliding rod 29, and both ends of the tension spring 31 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixed block 24 and one side of the connecting plate 30 respectively. As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, at this time, the docking plate 34 drives the entire placement rack to be exactly located at the position of the material taking and placing opening 51, and the docking plate 34 abuts against the plugging plate 12, so that the material taking and placing opening 51 is in an open state. At this time, the tension spring 31 is in a stretched state; when the docking plate 34 drives the entire placement rack to start moving into the culture cavity 6, at this time, under the elastic force of the tension spring 31, the plugging plate 12 will be driven to automatically reset through the connecting plate 30, so that the plugging plate 12 automatically closes the material taking and placing opening 51, preventing external air from flowing into the box body 1 and also preventing a large amount of inert gas in the box body 1 from flowing out of the box body 1 to the outside. Embodiment

[0054] This embodiment is a further improvement of the previous embodiment: As Figures 1-9 shown, a sealing block 36 is slidably connected to the inner side surface of the first vertical plate 23. A ventilation hole 361 for cooperating with one end of the multi-stage telescopic tube 13 is opened on one side of the sealing block 36. Two guide rods 37 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to one side of the sealing block 36. One ends of the two guide rods 37 both slidably penetrate through one side of the second vertical plate 27 and extend outward. Return springs 38 are sleeved on the outer walls of the two guide rods 37, and both ends of the return springs 38 are fixedly connected to the ends of the guide rods 37 away from the sealing block 36 and the outer side surface of the second vertical plate 27 respectively. As Figure 8 shown, when the sealing block 36 is in the initial position, the return spring 38 is in the initial state. At this time, the ventilation hole 361 is in a misaligned state with one end of the multi-stage telescopic tube 13. That is to say, at this time, one end of the multi-stage telescopic tube 13 connected to the first vertical plate 23 is blocked by the sealing block 36; when the entire placement rack moves from the culture cavity 6 to the material taking box 5 along with the docking plate 34, as Figure 6As shown, the sealing block 36 will be pushed and move closer to the position of the second vertical plate 27, and finally abut against one side of the second vertical plate 27. At this time, the return spring 38 is in a stretched state as the guide rod 37 moves, and the vent hole 361 corresponds to and communicates with one end of the multi-stage telescopic tube 13 as the sealing block 36 moves. Therefore, when the piston cylinder 7 evacuates the sealed space, since the multi-stage telescopic tube 13 on the placement rack in the culture chamber 6 is blocked by the corresponding sealing block 36, and the multi-stage telescopic tube 13 on the placement rack in the material taking box 5 is in communication with the vent hole 361, during the evacuation process, the piston cylinder 7 can only extract the air in the sealed space and will not extract the inert gas in the culture chamber 6, thereby ensuring that all the air in the sealed space is extracted, effectively improving the air discharge effect.

[0055] In one aspect of this embodiment, a slope 362 is provided on the side of the sealing block 36 away from the second vertical plate 27, and an extension 52 extending into the culture chamber 6 is provided on the side of the material taking box 5 close to the material taking and placing opening 51, and the extension 52 is used in cooperation with the slope 362. As Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the material taking box 5 is provided with an extension 52 extending into the culture chamber 6. After the docking plate 34 returns the entire placement rack to the culture chamber 6, the docking plate 34 always remains in close contact with the extension 52. On the one hand, it is to facilitate smoothly pulling the entire placement rack into the material taking box 5. On the other hand, through the cooperation with the slope 362, when the placement rack is pulled into the material taking box 5, the slope 362 will contact the extension 52, and as the placement rack moves, it will automatically push the sealing block 36 in the direction of the second vertical plate 27, so that the sealing block 36 abuts between the second vertical plate 27 and the inner wall of the material taking box 5, completing the conduction between the vent hole 361 and the multi-stage telescopic tube 13. Conversely, when the placement rack is retracted into the culture chamber 6, the sealing block 36 can automatically reset under the elastic force of the return spring 38, and at this time, the sealing block 36 is disengaged from the extension 52.
