Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microalgae culture equipment, in particular to a microalgae culture rack. Background Art
[0002] Microalgae are the main producers of natural water bodies and play an important role in global energy conversion and carbon cycle. The CO2 fixed by microalgae photosynthesis accounts for more than 40% of the global CO2 fixation each year. In the process of microalgae cultivation, it is often necessary to use culture racks to place microalgae culture bottles in order to uniformly cultivate large quantities of microalgae.
[0003] The current microalgae culture rack is mainly composed of four vertical poles and a multi-layer placement board installed between the four vertical poles. Although the microalgae culture rack with this structure can realize the side-by-side placement of microalgae culture bottles when in use to ensure the normal progress of the microalgae culture process, the microalgae culture bottles are placed in a side-by-side manner during the cultivation process. It is easy to cause the microalgae culture bottles in each row on the placement board to receive different light intensities due to mutual shielding between the microalgae culture bottles, thereby making the microalgae culture quality uneven. At the same time, the mutual shielding between the microalgae culture bottles also makes it inconvenient for the staff to conveniently observe the growth of the microalgae during the microalgae cultivation process. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical issues to be resolved
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a microalgae culture rack that can lift the microalgae culture bottles on the inner side of the placement plate in a lifting and adjusting manner, so as to ensure that a stepped height difference is formed between the microalgae culture bottles on the inner side and the microalgae culture bottles at the edge, to ensure that the light intensity received by the microalgae in each row of microalgae culture bottles is uniform, and at the same time facilitates the staff to conveniently observe the growth conditions of the microalgae in each row.
[0006] (II) Technical solution
[0007] The utility model is achieved through the following technical scheme: the utility model proposes a microalgae culture rack, including columns, wherein there are four columns, three placement plates are welded between the four columns at equal intervals from top to bottom, and a lifting and adjusting mechanism is installed at the middle of the upper end of each placement plate, and the lifting and adjusting mechanism includes a mounting groove opened in the middle of the upper end of the placement plate, a bidirectional screw rod installed in the mounting groove, a handwheel installed at the exposed end of the bidirectional screw rod, a linkage plate symmetrically installed at the threaded parts of the two ends of the bidirectional screw rod with opposite rotation directions, a screw hole opened at the matching position of the linkage plate and the bidirectional screw rod, a connecting rod symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end of each linkage plate, and a lifting plate installed at the top end of the connecting rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a top plate is fixed to the top of the four columns by bolts, and two rows of fill lights are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom ends of the top plate and the two middle placement plates.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that the supplementary light is reliably fixed above the microalgae culture bottles placed on each layer, so as to provide supplementary light for the microalgae in the microalgae culture bottles.
[0010] Furthermore, two rows of placement grooves are symmetrically provided on the upper end of the placement plate and the upper end of the lifting plate, and the depth of the placement grooves is less than the depth of the installation grooves.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the placement groove can limit the bottom of the microalgae culture bottle, thereby preventing the microalgae culture bottle from being easily tilted relative to the placement plate when being placed.
[0012] Furthermore, the bidirectional screw rod is rotatably connected to the mounting groove, and the bidirectional screw rod passes through the linkage plate.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the linkage plate can be moved and adjusted along the installation groove after the bidirectional screw is rotated.
[0014] Furthermore, the bidirectional screw rod is screwed to the screw hole, and the bidirectional screw rod is welded to the hand wheel.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the bidirectional screw rod can be conveniently rotated and adjusted with the help of the hand wheel.
[0016] Furthermore, the bottom end of the connecting rod is hinged to the linkage plate, and the top end of the connecting rod is hinged to the lifting plate.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting rod can lift the lifting plate while the linkage plate moves, so as to adjust the height of the microalgae culture bottle placed on the lifting plate.
[0018] Furthermore, the linkage plate is slidably connected to the mounting groove, and the linkage plate is a square plate-shaped structure.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, convenient sliding of the linkage plate relative to the mounting groove can be ensured.
[0020] Furthermore, the fill light is facing the edge of each placement plate in an inclined manner, and the shell of the fill light is bolted to the top plate and the corresponding placement plate.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that the light emitted by the supplementary light can fully illuminate the microalgae culture bottle on each of the placement plates.
[0022] (III) Beneficial effects
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] In order to solve the problem that the current microalgae culture rack is mainly composed of four vertical poles and a multi-layer placement board installed between the four vertical poles, although the microalgae culture rack of this structure can realize the side-by-side placement of microalgae culture bottles when in use to ensure the normal progress of the microalgae culture process, but in the process of cultivation, the microalgae culture bottles are placed in a side-by-side manner, which is easy to cause the microalgae culture bottles in each row on the placement board to receive different light intensities due to mutual shielding between the microalgae culture bottles, thereby making the microalgae culture quality uneven, and at the same time, the mutual shielding between the microalgae culture bottles is not convenient for the staff to check the microalgae during the microalgae culture process. In order to solve the problem of convenient observation of the growth of algae, the utility model installs a lifting and adjusting mechanism on the placement plate, so that the microalgae culture rack can use the hand wheel in the lifting and adjusting mechanism to rotate the two-way screw rod, so as to realize the rising of the lifting plate under the action of the two-way screw rod and the connecting rod. This design enables the microalgae culture rack to form a stepped height difference between the microalgae culture bottles on the inner side of each layer of the placement plate and the microalgae culture bottles at the edge when in use, ensuring that the light intensity of the microalgae in each row of microalgae culture bottles is uniform, and at the same time facilitating the staff to conveniently observe the growth of the microalgae in each row.
