Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microorganism cultivation, and in particular to a biopharmaceutical microorganism cultivation device. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of today's medical field, biopharmaceuticals play a key role in disease treatment, prevention and diagnosis. The production of various biological products such as antibiotics, vaccines, enzymes, amino acids, etc. through microbial fermentation technology has the advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection and sustainability, and has become one of the core production methods of the biopharmaceutical industry. The growth and metabolic process of microorganisms directly determines the output and quality of biological products. Therefore, suitable microbial culture equipment is crucial to the success of biopharmaceuticals.

[0003] However, after the microbial cultivation task is completed, due to the numerous internal components and complex layout of the device, it is difficult for the operator to comprehensively and conveniently clean every corner and component. Moreover, if the sterilization process is not thoroughly performed before the cultivation device is put into use, the microorganisms remaining in the device will rapidly multiply in large numbers during the subsequent cultivation process. These miscellaneous bacteria will compete with the target cultured microorganisms for nutrients and living space, thereby seriously contaminating the culture and affecting the quality and efficiency of biopharmaceuticals. The present invention is to propose a biopharmaceutical microbial cultivation device to alleviate the technical problem of inconvenient cleaning by operators after the microbial cultivation is completed in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that after the microbial cultivation task is completed, it is difficult for the operator to clean all corners and parts comprehensively and conveniently due to the numerous internal components and complex layout of the device. Moreover, if the sterilization process is not thoroughly performed before the cultivation device is put into use, the microorganisms remaining in the device will rapidly multiply in large numbers during the subsequent cultivation process. These miscellaneous bacteria will compete with the target cultured microorganisms for nutrients and living space, and then seriously contaminate the culture, affecting the quality and efficiency of biopharmaceuticals, and a biopharmaceutical microbial cultivation device is proposed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A biopharmaceutical microorganism culture device comprises an incubator and a sealing cover plate, wherein the sealing cover plate is rotatably connected to a second elliptical block, the second elliptical block is rotatably connected to the incubator, a side of the second elliptical block away from the incubator is fixedly connected to a connecting block, the connecting block is transmission-connected to a first bevel gear, the first bevel gear is meshingly connected to a second bevel gear, the second bevel gear is transmission-connected to an internal gear of the box, the internal gear of the box is meshingly connected to a rack, the rack is fixed to one side of a vertical block, a bottom plate is rotatably connected below the vertical block, the bottom plate is slidably connected to the incubator, and a folding plate is rotatably connected to a side of the vertical block away from the bottom plate.

[0007] The above technical solution further includes:

[0008] The sealing cover plate is fixedly connected to a rotating rod on the side, the rotating rod is rotatably connected to one end of the second elliptical block, the connecting block is transmission-connected to a belt, the belt is transmission-connected to a connecting block, the connecting block is fixed to the side of the first bevel gear away from the incubator, one side of the second bevel gear is fixedly connected to a gear rod, the gear rod is transmission-connected to a transmission belt, and the side of the transmission belt away from the gear rod is transmission-connected to the gear inside the box. When the operator folds the sealing cover plate, the second elliptical block is driven to rotate by the rotating rod, and then the connecting block, belt, connecting block, first bevel gear, second bevel gear, gear rod and transmission belt are sequentially transmitted, and finally the gear inside the box is rotated. This transmission system provides a power transmission basis for the subsequent movement of the bottom plate and the linkage operation of the internal components of the incubator, which is convenient for cleaning the incubator after the culture is completed.

[0009] The gear inside the box is arranged inside the square cavity. The square cavity protects and positions the gear inside the box, which can prevent the gear inside the box from being disturbed or offset during rotation, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the gear transmission, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the entire transmission system, and further ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent cleaning and other operations.

[0010] A plurality of groups of temperature sensors are arranged above the bottom plate, and a support column is arranged above the bottom plate, and the support column is used to support the folding plate. The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature above the bottom plate in real time, and provide accurate temperature data for the cultivation of microorganisms in the tank, so as to adjust the temperature through coolers and other equipment according to the actual situation, and ensure that the microorganisms grow in a suitable temperature environment. The support column supports the folding plate, ensures the stability of the folding plate during normal use, and also provides a structural basis for the subsequent folding operation of the folding plate along the vertical block, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the containers at the bottom of the folding plate and the surface of the bottom plate.

[0011] The tank is fixedly connected above the bottom plate, and a cooler for adjusting the temperature of the tank is arranged above the bottom plate. The tank is the core place for microbial cultivation, and fixing it above the bottom plate ensures the stability of the cultivation process. The cooler can adjust the temperature of the tank according to the temperature information fed back by the temperature sensor, so that the temperature inside the tank is kept within a range suitable for microbial growth, providing a stable temperature environment for microbial cultivation, and helping to improve the quality and efficiency of biopharmaceuticals.

[0012] A plurality of groups of heating lamps are arranged below the folding plate, and the heating lamps are used for irradiating the upper part of the bottom plate.

[0013] A plurality of support piers are arranged under the incubator, and a display panel is fixedly connected to the side of the incubator. The support piers provide stable support for the incubator, ensuring the stability of the incubator during operation and reducing the impact of external vibrations on the incubation process. The display panel can display various parameters in the incubator in real time, such as temperature and humidity, so that the operator can understand the status of the incubation environment at any time, make adjustments and interventions in a timely manner, and improve the convenience and accuracy of operation.

[0014] The sealing cover is rotatably connected to one side of the first elliptical block, and the first elliptical block is rotatably connected to a culture box at a side away from the sealing cover.

[0015] The side of the incubator is provided with a square groove for the gears in the box to rotate. The square groove provides a rotation space for the gears in the box, ensuring that the gears in the box will not be hindered by the side structure of the incubator during the rotation process. This ensures the smooth operation of the transmission system, enables the gears in the box to rotate normally according to the design requirements, and then realizes the movement of the bottom plate and the linkage operation of the internal components of the incubator, creating conditions for cleaning work after the cultivation is completed.

[0016] The bottom of the sealing cover is provided with a sealing soft layer for fitting on the surface of the incubator, and the sealing soft layer can enhance the sealing between the sealing cover and the incubator. During the incubation process, it can effectively prevent the outside air, dust and bacteria from entering the incubator, maintain the sterile environment in the incubator, and provide good conditions for microbial cultivation. At the same time, the sealing soft layer can also play a buffering role, reduce the impact force on the surface of the incubator when the sealing cover is closed, and protect the structural integrity of the incubator and the sealing cover.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. In the present invention, after the microbial culture is completed, the operator only needs to fold the sealing cover plate to drive a series of components to work together. The sealing cover plate folds to the left to drive the second elliptical block to rotate with the connecting block as the axis, and then through the transmission of the belt, the connecting block, the first bevel gear, the second bevel gear, the transmission belt and other components, the gear in the box rotates and meshes with the rack, and finally the bottom plate slides to be flush with the opening of the incubator. At this time, the operator can easily take out the bottom plate and thoroughly clean the inside of the incubator. At the same time, the folding plate can also be folded along the vertical block, which is convenient for cleaning the bottom of the folding plate and various containers placed on the surface of the bottom plate. This design avoids the cleaning dead corners caused by the numerous internal components and complex layout of the device.

[0019] 2. In the present invention, since the device is easy to clean, the interior of the incubator and related components can be thoroughly cleaned after the microbial culture is completed, thereby significantly reducing the number of residual microorganisms. Before the culture device is put into use, more thorough cleaning helps to improve the sterilization effect and reduce the risk of incomplete sterilization. The possibility of microorganisms remaining in the device multiplying in large numbers during the subsequent culture process is reduced, and the competition between miscellaneous bacteria and target culture microorganisms for nutrients and living space is avoided, which effectively prevents the culture from being contaminated and reduces product failures and production losses caused by miscellaneous bacteria contamination.
