Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microorganism cultivation, and in particular, relates to a microorganism cultivation device for microorganism inspection experiments. Background Art

[0002] Microbial culture is widely used in biology, medicine and other industries. Since microorganisms reproduce slowly in natural environments and cannot meet experimental requirements, artificially prepared culture media and artificially created culture conditions are used to make certain microorganisms grow and reproduce rapidly. Microbial culture devices refer to equipment and systems used to cultivate microorganisms. Their main function is to provide a suitable environment for microbial growth, including temperature, humidity, light, gas composition, pH and other conditions. These devices are widely used in microbiology, biology, medicine, environmental protection, food processing and other fields.

[0003] After searching, Chinese patent number CN118086003A discloses a microorganism culture device and its use method, which involves the technical field related to microorganism culture, including a box body, a chamber is provided in the box body, a sealing door is connected to the box body, a telescopic frame is installed in the chamber, the telescopic frame is engaged with the placement plate, and the box body is provided with a stabilizing mechanism, the stabilizing mechanism includes a support bar and a support rod, the support rod is connected with a roller, the chamber is connected with a slide rail, and the roller is installed in the slide rail. Pull the telescopic frame, place the culture container on the placement plate, engage the placement plate with the telescopic frame, and move the telescopic frame into the chamber. When the telescopic frame slides, the support bar drives the support rod to move, and the two rollers prevent the support rod from rotating. One end of the telescopic frame is supported by the support bar and the support rod, so as to stabilize the sliding of the telescopic frame, thereby solving the problem that the internal shelf that can slide out in the existing microbial constant temperature incubator is poor in stability, and the culture container will be skewed when it is placed, causing the placed culture container to topple over and the material in the culture container to spill out.

[0004] However, in the process of cultivating microorganisms, the above-mentioned microbial cultivation device sometimes needs to regularly sample and observe the bacteria in the incubator. During the sampling process, the door of the incubator is usually opened to take out the culture dish in the incubator. During this process, the temperature and humidity originally set in the incubator will change as the door of the incubator is opened. Although the temperature and humidity of the incubator will be automatically adjusted after closing, the adjustment and sampling process will still have a certain impact on the cultivation of microorganisms in the incubator. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problems in the related art, the present invention proposes a microorganism cultivation device for microorganism testing experiments to overcome the above technical problems existing in the existing related art.

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inside" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the invention.

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 9As shown, the present invention is a microorganism culture device for microorganism inspection experiments, including a culture box 1, the culture box 1 is slidably connected with a sleeve 2, the sleeve 2 is slidably connected with a slide rod 3 inside, the slide rod 3 is rotatably installed with a clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism includes a first disc 4 arranged on the slide rod 3, the first disc 4 is rotatably installed on the slide rod 3, the first disc 4 is provided with an arc-shaped slide groove 5, the arc-shaped slide groove 5 is slidably connected with a protruding block 6, the protruding block 6 is fixedly installed on a clamping plate 7, the clamping plate 7 is rotatably installed on a second disc 8, the first disc 4 and the second disc 8 are both fixedly installed with an annular rack 9, the two annular racks 9 are both meshed with gears 10, the clamping plate 7 is in conflict with the bottom of the clamping ring 11, and the clamping ring 11 is fixedly installed on the culture tube 12.

[0036] The working principle of the microbial culture device for microbial testing experiments proposed by the present invention is that when the culture tube 12 needs to be taken out, the operator first presses the sleeve 2 downward so that the sleeve 2 covers the top of the culture tube 12. At this time, the culture tube 12 is in a closed space and isolated from the interior of the incubator 1. Then the gear 10 is rotated. Since the gear 10 is meshed with two annular racks 9, the first disc 4 and the second disc 8 are driven to rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the protruding block 6 to move along the inside of the arc-shaped slide groove 5, thereby driving the clamping plate 7 to move toward the center position of the first disc 4 and the second disc 8, waiting for the clamping plate 7 to move to a suitable position and then contact the bottom of the clamping ring 11, and then the operator pulls the slide bar 3 upward, thereby driving the culture tube 12 to move upward, and then the culture tube 12 can be taken out. Compared with the prior art of taking out the culture tube 12 by opening the incubator 1, the influence of temperature and humidity changes in the incubator 1 on the microbial culture is avoided, and the effect of microbial culture is improved.

[0037] In one embodiment, for the gear 10 , the gear 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the micro motor 13 , and the micro motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the second disc 8 .

[0038] The working principle of the microorganism culture device for microorganism testing experiments proposed by the present invention is to start the micro motor 13 to drive the gear 10 to rotate, thereby realizing the first disc 4 and the second disc 8 to rotate in different directions.

[0039] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned culture tube 12 , the culture tube 12 is fixedly installed inside the test tube slot 14 through a fixing mechanism, and the test tube slot 14 is opened on the rotating disk 15 .

[0040] In one embodiment, for the rotating disk 15 , the rotating disk 15 is rotatably installed inside the incubator 1 , and the rotating disk 15 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 16 , and the driving motor 16 is fixedly installed inside the incubator 1 .

[0041] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned fixing mechanism, the fixing mechanism includes a telescopic rod 17 arranged inside the test tube slot 14, one end of the telescopic rod 17 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the test tube slot 14, and the other end is fixedly mounted on the arc clamping plate 18, and the telescopic rod 17 is provided with a reset spring 19.

[0042] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned fixing mechanism, two groups of fixing mechanisms are provided, and the parts and installation methods thereof are the same, and the culture tube 12 is clamped between two arc-shaped clamping plates 18 .

[0043] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned sliding rod 3 , a handle 20 is fixedly mounted on the sliding rod 3 , and a cover plate 21 is rotatably mounted on the sleeve 2 .

[0044] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned incubator 1 , a microscope magnifier 22 is fixedly installed on the incubator 1 , and a temperature detector 23 and a humidifier 24 are fixedly installed inside the incubator 1 .

[0045] The working principle of the microbial culture device for microbial testing experiments proposed in the present invention is that the culture tube 12 is placed inside the test tube groove 14. At this time, the arc-shaped clamping plate 18 is resisted by the culture tube 12 and moves toward the inner wall of the test tube groove 14. At this time, the telescopic rod 17 contracts and the reset spring 19 undergoes elastic deformation. After the operator completes the debugging of the culture tube 12, the reaction force of the reset spring 19 is used to drive the telescopic rod 17 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 18 to reset, thereby clamping and fixing the culture tube 12 to prevent it from tipping over during the culture process, thereby affecting the culture effect.

[0046] It is worth noting that the microbial culture conditions inside the culture tube 12 can be directly observed through the microscope magnifier 22 without opening the incubator 1, thereby avoiding the impact of temperature and humidity changes in the incubator 1 on the microbial culture. At the same time, by starting the drive motor 16, the rotating disk 15 is driven to rotate, and then each culture tube 12 can be rotated to the bottom of the microscope magnifier 22, thereby facilitating observation by the operator and improving work efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, the cover plate 21 can keep the sleeve 2 in a sealed environment, and the handle 20 can better pull the slide rod 3.

[0048] Finally, the temperature detector 23 can be used to monitor the temperature changes inside the incubator 1 in real time, which is used to adjust and maintain the temperature inside the incubator to meet the temperature requirements for the growth of microorganisms, and the humidifier 24 can be used to humidify the inside of the incubator 1 to adjust and maintain the humidity inside the incubator 1 to meet the moisture requirements of the microorganisms.

[0049] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned incubator 1 , the incubator 1 is rotatably provided with a door 25 , the door 25 is fixedly provided with a transparent observation window 26 , and the incubator 1 is fixedly provided with a control panel 27 .

[0050] The working principle of a microbial culture device for microbial testing experiments proposed in the present invention is that by opening the box door 25, the interior of the culture box 1 can be cleaned and disinfected, and the situation inside the culture box 1 can be observed in real time through the transparent observation window 26 without opening the box door 25, thereby reducing the circulation between the inside and the outside, thereby better protecting the culture environment, and the electronic components of the device can be controlled through the control panel 27 to achieve intelligence.
