Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deep-sea organism cultivation devices, in particular to a plunger-type deep-sea organism cultivation device for in-situ environment remodeling. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of deep-sea exploration technology, more and more deep-sea creatures are being discovered, constantly refreshing human cognition. Because deep-sea creatures have adapted to the extreme environment of the deep sea (pressure, temperature, etc.), conventional laboratory methods cannot be used to cultivate them. At present, there are two main ways to achieve the live cultivation of deep-sea organisms. One is to achieve "in situ" cultivation and observation in a deep-sea environment. The other is to establish a cultivation system suitable for the growth and survival of deep-sea organisms in a land laboratory. The first method is costly and risky. Establishing a deep-sea biological cultivation device in a land laboratory is one of the best options.

[0003] In existing technologies, incubation devices use flange bolts, threaded connections, or external clamps to seal the device. These rely on the pressure-bearing structure of the container's outer shell, requiring reinforced support, increasing manufacturing costs, and leading to stress concentration in bolt holes or at the contact points of the clips. Long-term use can easily induce metal fatigue and shorten service life. Furthermore, some existing incubation devices fail to consider temperature control, making it difficult to achieve long-term low (or high) temperature incubation. Some devices that do consider temperature control utilize coils or jackets arranged outside the chamber for temperature control. However, the walls of the devices under ultra-high pressure conditions (≥100MPa) are relatively thick, making external temperature control less efficient. Furthermore, existing incubation devices fail to consider the impact of changes in inlet water temperature due to pressurization and water replacement on the internal environment of the incubation chamber. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing production technologies, the applicant provides a plunger-type deep-sea biological cultivation device for in-situ environmental reshaping, thereby effectively solving problems such as reliance on the pressure-bearing and sealing of the container's peripheral structure, low temperature regulation efficiency, and the impact of changes in inlet water temperature caused by pressurization and water exchange on the internal environment of the culture chamber.

The fourth circulation pump 509 is shared to reduce the temperature of the water in the water tank 511. The water tank 511 is also connected to the pressure control system 12 to supply hot and cold water for pressurization and water exchange.

[0067] The temperature control system 5 is further provided with a pressurized temperature compensating coil 510 placed in the coolant buffer tank 502 . The inlet of the pressurized temperature compensating coil 510 is connected to the outlet of the pressure control system 12 , and the outlet is connected to the water inlet 203 .

[0068] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, a heater 50207 is provided in the coolant buffer tank 502 for adjusting the high and low temperatures; a temperature regulating coil 504 is spirally wound around the plunger 2 and is a pressure-resistant coil; and a heat-insulating material 505 is arranged outside the culture chamber 1.

[0069] The working principle and actual working implementation process of this embodiment are as follows:

[0070] In this embodiment, a plunger 2 is installed inside the culture chamber 1 to achieve sealing. The cross-sectional areas of the upper and lower covers of the plunger 2 are consistent. When the culture chamber 1 is pressurized, the upper and lower covers of the plunger 2 are subjected to equal and opposite forces, causing the plunger 2 to be in a self-balanced state under all pressures. No external load is required to be applied by the peripheral structure to achieve sealing between the culture chamber 1 and the plunger 2. The plunger 2 is inserted into the culture chamber 1, and various interfaces can be integrated on the plunger 2. At the same time, a temperature control coil 504 is integrated to achieve direct contact between the medium inside the culture chamber 1 and the temperature control coil 504, thereby improving heat transfer and insulation efficiency. The water tank 511 provides hot and cold water for pressurization and water exchange. However, the pressurization process will cause the medium temperature to change. Before entering the culture chamber 1, the pressurized medium is first temperature-controlled by heat exchange with the refrigerant through the pressurization temperature compensation coil 510. The medium enters the culture chamber 1 at the target temperature, eliminating the impact of the pressurization and water exchange processes on the temperature field inside the culture chamber 1.

[0071] In actual work process:

[0072] First, secure the incubation chamber 1 to the base 4 and install the insulation material 505. Install the upper cover sealing ring 10 and the lower cover sealing ring 11 into the upper cover sealing groove 201 and the lower cover sealing groove 202. Then, install the temperature control coil 504 onto the plunger 2, connecting the coil inlet and outlet to the temperature control coil inlet port 211 and the temperature control coil outlet port 212 on the plunger 2, respectively. Install the pressure sensor, temperature sensor, camera, and lighting at the pressure gauge port 204, temperature gauge port 205, camera hatch 206, and lighting hatch 207 on the plunger 2, respectively. Next, lower the plunger 2 into the incubation chamber 1 using the plunger lifting lug 209. Secure the flange ring 3 to the incubation chamber 1, and connect the temperature control system 5 to the incubation chamber 1 using the piping. Next, fill the incubation chamber 1 with water through the water inlet 203. Turn on the temperature control system 5 and set the target temperature to rapidly cool or heat the coolant. Once the culture chamber 1 is filled with water, the second, third, and fourth circulation pumps 507, 508, and 509 are turned on. The medium in the culture chamber 1 exchanges heat with the coolant through the heat exchanger 503 and the temperature-regulating coil 504. After the temperature is adjusted to the target temperature, the external atmospheric pressure line is shut off via the first and second high-pressure shut-off valves 512, 513, stopping circulation within the culture chamber 1. The fourth circulation pump 509 is then connected to the water tank 511, allowing the water in the tank 511 to be heated and supplied for pressurization and water exchange. The third circulation pump 508 is kept running, and the temperature-regulating coil 504 is used to neutralize heat loss to the environment. Water is then drawn from the water tank 511 and pumped into the culture chamber 1 via the pressure control system 12 for pressurization. Before entering the culture chamber 1, the pressurized medium passes through the pressurization temperature compensation coil 510 to eliminate temperature fluctuations caused by the pressurization process. Once the target environment is reached, the organisms to be cultured are transferred to the culture chamber 1 for long-term cultivation via the organism transfer docking valve 6. During the cultivation period, feed and water are added through the water injection port 203 and the water exchange port 210, and the temperature is maintained stable through the temperature regulating coil 504.

[0073] In this embodiment, plungers 2 are arranged at the upper and lower large openings of the culture chamber to achieve sealing, and the cross-sectional areas of the upper and lower covers of the plunger 2 are equal. When the interior of the chamber is under pressure, the upper and lower covers of the plunger 2 are subjected to forces in opposite directions and of equal magnitude. The plunger 2 is in a self-balanced state under all pressures, and the plunger 2 achieves sealing under zero external load conditions without the need for a container structure to bear the load. The interfaces and functions required inside the device are all provided on the plunger 2, and the device has a high degree of integration. At the same time, the temperature control coil 504 is arranged on the plunger 2, and the integrated design is convenient for installation and maintenance. The coil is in direct contact with the internal medium during temperature adjustment and insulation, thereby improving the temperature control efficiency. In addition, a pressurization temperature compensation coil 510 is provided. When pressurizing and changing water, the influence of medium temperature changes caused by pressurization of the pressure control system 12 can be eliminated, and comprehensive thermal management is performed in combination with the work flow of the culture device.
