[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 As an embodiment provided by the present invention: A photosynthetic microorganism culture device includes an outer shell 1 for connecting various components. A rotating assembly 2 is provided in the middle of the outer shell 1 to drive the placing assembly 7 to rotate, so that the test tube 8 rotates, making it receive light more evenly. Ventilation components are provided on both the left and right sides of the outer shell 1 for air circulation of the device. The ventilation components include a mounting assembly 3 for connecting various components. A ventilation fan 5 is installed on one side of the mounting assembly 3 close to the rotating assembly 2 for ventilation. A filter plate 4 is installed on the side of the mounting assembly 3 away from the rotating assembly 2 for filtering air to prevent dust and impurities from entering the interior of the device. A lighting lamp 6 is installed in the middle of the inner wall of the outer shell 1 to provide light for photosynthetic microorganisms. A placing assembly 7 is provided above the rotating assembly 2 for placing the test tube 8. A test tube 8 is provided in the middle of the placing assembly 7 for culturing photosynthetic microorganisms.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3, the rotating assembly 2 includes a bottom case 21 for connecting various components. The bottom case 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. The rotating assembly 2 further includes a motor 25 for providing power to the assembly. The motor 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1. The output end of the motor 25 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 24 for connecting to the circular plate 22. The rotating shaft 24 passes through the outer shell 1 and is rotatably connected thereto. Inside the bottom case 21, there is a circular plate 22. The circular plate 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 24. The top of the circular plate 22 is fixedly connected to a toothed ring 23, and its inner wall is provided with convex teeth for driving the gear 74 to rotate.

[0035] As Figure 4 - Figure 5 shown, the placement assembly 7 includes a bottom plate 71 for connecting various components. The top of the bottom plate 71 is fixedly connected to a rubber pad 72 for placing the test tube 8. The bottom surface of the bottom plate 71 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 73 for connecting the gear 74. The connecting rod 73 passes through the bottom case 21 and is rotatably connected thereto. The lower part of the connecting rod 73 is fixedly connected to a gear 74 for cooperating with the toothed ring 23. The gear 74 meshes with the toothed ring 23. On the top of the bottom plate 71, there are multiple support members for cooperating with the placement of the test tube 8. The support member includes a support rod 75 for connecting various components. The support rod 75 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 71. On the upper part of the side of the support rod 75 close to the rubber pad 72, there is a hollow block 76 for cooperating with the connection of the slider 77. The inner wall of the hollow block 76 is slidably connected to a slider 77. Between the slider 77 and the hollow block 76, there is a first spring 79 fixedly connected together for cooperating with the movement of the slider 77 and for assisting the slider 77 to press the test tube 8 tightly. The side of the slider 77 away from the hollow block 76 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad 78, which is made of rubber.

[0036] As Figure 6 shown, the installation assembly 3 includes an installation shell 31 for connecting various components. The installation shell 31 passes through the outer shell 1 and is fixedly connected thereto. The ventilation fan 5 is connected thereto. On the front and rear parts of the top surface of the installation shell 31, there are limit assemblies 32 for cooperating with the installation of the filter plate 4. On the side of the installation shell 31 close to the filter plate 4, there is an installation groove 33 for cooperating with the installation of the filter plate 4. The filter plate 4 is movably connected thereto. At the lower part of the installation groove 33, there is a connection groove 34 for installing the push plate 35. The inner wall of the connection groove 34 is slidably connected to a push plate 35 for pushing the filter plate 4. Between the push plate 35 and the connection groove 34, there are multiple second springs 36 fixedly connected together for cooperating with the use of the push plate 35.

[0037] Further, the limiting component 32 includes a connecting shell 321 for connecting various components. The connecting shell 321 is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 31. A limiting block 322 is slidably connected to one side of the connecting shell 321 close to the filter plate 4 for restricting the filter plate 4. A plurality of third springs 324 are fixedly connected between the limiting block 322 and the connecting shell 321 for cooperating with the reset of the limiting block 322. A pushing block 323 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the limiting block 322 on the side close to the third spring 324 for cooperating with the movement of the limiting block 322. A pushing port 325 is formed in the upper part of the connecting shell 321 for cooperating with the movement of the pushing block 323, and the pushing block 323 is slidably connected thereto.

[0038] Working principle: When in use, open the outer shell 1 and install the photosynthetic microorganism culture test tube 8 on the placing component 7. When the test tube 8 is inserted, the test tube 8 will push the slider 77 to slide into the empty block 76 and compress the first spring 79. At the same time, the first spring 79 will generate a reaction force on the slider 77, pushing the slider 77 outwards so that the anti-slip pad 78 presses against the test tube 8 tightly. Keep pressing the test tube 8 down until its bottom touches the rubber pad 72. Then close the outer shell 1, turn on the lighting lamp 6, turn on the ventilation fan 5, and then turn on the motor 25, which will drive the connected rotating shaft 24 to rotate. The circular plate 22 connected to the rotating shaft 24 will rotate accordingly, causing the toothed ring 23 to also rotate. When the toothed ring 23 rotates, the meshing gear 74 will rotate, and the connecting rod 73 connected to the gear 74 will rotate accordingly, thereby driving the bottom plate 71 to rotate. When the bottom plate 71 rotates, the multiple supporting members connected thereto will drive the test tube 8 to rotate, so that the test tube 8 can receive light more evenly.

[0039] When the filter plate 4 needs to be replaced, push the pushing block 323 to drive the limiting block 322 to slide into the connecting shell 321 internally. The third spring 324 will be compressed, and the filter plate 4 will lose its restriction. The push plate 35 will be pushed upwards by the second spring 36, and the push plate 35 will push the filter plate 4 upwards. Then take out the filter plate 4, install a new filter plate 4 into the installation groove 33, so that it presses the push plate 35 downwards. Then release the pushing block 323, and the third spring 324 will push the limiting block 322 to reset, fixing the filter plate 4 in the installation groove 33.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
