[0021] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a culture device for Spirulina provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of a culturing device for Spirulina provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the local structure of the culture plate provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4The overall structure diagram of the culture device for spirulina provided in the embodiment of the present application. The culture device 100 for spirulina includes a base 110, and a fixed platform 120 is provided at one end of the top of the base 110, and the fixed platform 120 is used to fix the first water pump 121. A water tank 111 is provided on the top of the base 110 on one side of the fixed platform 120, and the water tank 111 is provided on the top of the base 110, and the surface area of ​​the water tank 111 should be between 0.6-0.8 times the top area of ​​the base 110. A culture tray 130 adapted to the water tank 111 is provided in the water tank 111, and the culture tray 130 is used to carry spirulina. A lifting device 112 for lifting the culture tray 130 is provided between the inner bottom wall of the water tank 111 and the outer bottom wall of the culture tray 130, and the lifting device 112 can be in various forms, which can be various forms such as a lift or a telescopic rod, and can be electric or manual. After the lifting device 112 lifts the culture tray 130, it is convenient for the spirulina in the culture tray 130 to perform photosynthesis better. The bottom of the culture tray 130 is provided with filter holes, and the water in the water tank 111 and the water in the culture tray 130 can flow through the filter holes, providing a better living environment for the spirulina. A distribution platform 140 is arranged above the water tank 111, and a driving component 150 for driving the distribution platform 140 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the base 110 is jointly arranged between the base 110 and the distribution platform 140. The distribution platform 140 is used to evenly distribute the water in the water tank 111 and the spirulina that falls into the water tank 111 on the culture tray 130 again during the movement. The water tank 111 is connected to a water outlet pipe 113, and the water outlet pipe 113 extends to the outside of the base 110 and is connected to a water return pipe 123 through an electromagnetic three-way valve 114. When the electromagnetic three-way valve 114 connects the water outlet pipe 113 and the water return pipe 123, the operation of Spirulina re-entering the culture tray 130 from the water tank 111 can be successfully completed (please refer to the following text for the specific working process). After a period of time, most of the Spirulina in the water tank 111 has fallen back into the culture tray 130. At this time, the electromagnetic three-way valve 114 is reversed, and the excess water in the water tank 111 will flow out of the water tank 111. After the water tank 111 is replenished with water through an external water supply, the water in the water tank 111 can circulate, thereby improving the living environment of the Spirulina. The fixed platform 120 is provided with a first water pump 121, the input end of which is connected to the return pipe 123. During operation, the first water pump 121 extracts the water in the water tank 111 and the spirulina that falls into the water tank 111. A cavity 141 is provided inside the distribution platform 140, and an extension plate 142 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 141. The other end of the extension plate 142 is tilted downward and extends to the culture tray 130. The water outlet end of the first water pump 121 is connected to the cavity 141 of the distribution platform 140 through the hose 122. After the first water pump 121 transports water and spirulina to the cavity 141 of the distribution platform 140, the water and spirulina will fall onto the culture tray 130 along the extension plate 142.

[0022] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, by setting the first water pump 121 and the pipes such as the water outlet pipe 113 and the water return pipe 123, the spirulina falling into the water tank 111 can be transported to the cavity 141 of the distribution platform 140 under the action of the first water pump 121 and the corresponding pipes. Further, by setting the driving component 150, the driving component 150 drives the distribution platform 140 to move along the axial direction of the water tank 111, and this part of the water and spirulina can fall into the culture plate 130 again, and the excess water falls into the water tank 111 again along the filter hole, and the spirulina will be retained on the culture plate 130, so that the present application can effectively avoid the phenomenon that the spirulina in the culture plate 130 drifts into the water tank 111 with the water flow, thereby causing waste. On the other hand, by setting the extension plate 142, the present application allows the spirulina to fall into the water tank 111 more smoothly through the guidance of the extension plate 142 during the process of falling from the cavity 141 of the distribution platform 140 downward.

[0023] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 150 includes threaded rods 151 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 110, and the two ends of the threaded rods 151 are connected to the outer wall of the base 110 through a rotating sleeve 152. One end of the threaded rod 151 is connected to a rotating motor 153, and the two ends of the distribution platform 140 are respectively screwed to the two threaded rods 151. The embodiment of the present application proposes a specific setting method of the driving assembly 150. During operation, the rotating motor 153 drives the threaded rod 151 to rotate, and the threaded rod 151 further drives the distribution platform 140 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0024] In some embodiments, there are two first water pumps 121, and correspondingly there are two water outlet pipes 113 and two water return pipes 123. In the embodiment of the present application, through the above configuration, the extraction speed of the first water pump 121 is accelerated, thereby further improving the overall working efficiency of the equipment.

[0025] In some embodiments, support blocks 115 are fixed at the four corners of the middle of the water tank 111, and the support blocks 115 are used to suspend the culture tray 130 in the water tank 111. In the embodiment of the present application, the culture tray 130 is suspended in the water tank 111 by setting the support blocks 115, and the height of the support blocks 115 can be set according to the specific water level and the actual working environment.

[0026] In some embodiments, a water tank 160 is included, the water tank 160 is connected to a water supply pipe 161 through a second water pump (not shown in the figure), the base 110 is arranged on the water tank 160, the water tank 111 is arranged obliquely, the water outlet pipe 113 is located at the lowest end of the water tank 111 and the end of the water outlet pipe 113 is inclined and extends into the water tank 160, and a guide plate 116 is hinged on the side of the base 110 away from the fixed platform 120, and a jacket 117 for clamping the water supply pipe 161 is arranged on the guide plate 116. The water tank 160 in the embodiment of the present application can be a pool, and a steel rail can be set above the pool to place the base 110, and multiple bases 110 can be arranged above a pool at the same time to improve the use efficiency of the water tank 160. In the embodiment of the present application, through the above arrangement, under normal working conditions, the second water pump pumps the water in the pool to the drainage plate 116 through the water supply pipe 161, and the water falls evenly and smoothly into the water tank 111 through the drainage plate 116. At the same time, the water in the water tank 111 will enter the water tank 160 through the outlet pipe 113 to complete the circulation flow. When the operator needs to take out the culture tray 130 in the water tank 111, he only needs to flip the drainage plate 116 from the outside of the box, and the drainage plate 116 will flip to the outer end of the base 110, which will not affect the removal operation of the culture tray 130.

[0027] In some embodiments, a handle 131 is provided on the culture tray 130. In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the handle 131, it is convenient for the operator to take out the culture tray 130 through the handle 131.
