Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microbial cultivation, in particular to an intelligent microbial cultivation box. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of microbiology, medicine, agriculture and biotechnology, microbial incubators play a vital role in the cultivation and observation of microbial growth. Since the effect of the temperature controlled inside the incubator on each vessel may be hindered by other vessels and the culture dish rack, the actual temperature of each vessel may be different. The temperature detection equipment that comes with the traditional incubator can usually only monitor the average temperature inside the entire incubator, and cannot accurately obtain the actual temperature of each vessel, which may lead to errors in experimental data.

[0003] Secondly, during the microbial culture process, operators need to accurately understand the storage status of the vessels on the culture dish rack inside the incubator in order to arrange the experimental process reasonably. However, traditional incubators lack an effective vessel detection mechanism, and operators cannot intuitively and accurately know the storage quantity and location of the vessels inside the incubator, which not only increases the complexity and time cost of the operation, but may also affect the normal progress of the experiment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims at the technical problems existing in the prior art and provides a microbial intelligent incubator to solve the problem that the temperature detection equipment provided in the traditional incubator can usually only monitor the average temperature inside the entire incubator, but cannot accurately obtain the actual temperature of each vessel, which may lead to errors in experimental data.

[0005] The utility model solves the above technical problems with the following technical solutions: A microbial intelligent incubator, comprising:

[0006] Incubator body;

[0007] At least one culture dish rack, at least one culture dish rack is built into the incubator body, wherein the culture dish rack comprises a base plate, a dish and a plurality of receiving slots for storing the dish, the plurality of receiving slots are in a rectangular array and are opened on the base plate, and the dish is in the receiving slot of the base plate;

[0008] A sensing component, which is disposed between each vessel and the substrate and is used to sense whether the vessel is present on the receiving groove of the substrate;

[0009] A temperature measuring component, which is disposed on the substrate and starts to detect the temperature of the vessel when the sensing component senses that the vessel is present in the containing tank;

[0010] At least one set of display units adapted to be used with the petri dish rack, the display units being arranged outside the incubator and electrically connected to the temperature measuring component and the induction component, for displaying the temperature values measured by the temperature measuring component for the vessels.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1), By introducing the induction component and the temperature measuring component, this incubator realizes the precise monitoring and display of the temperature of each vessel inside the incubator. Specifically, the induction component is used to first monitor in real time whether each vessel exists in the receiving groove and transmit relevant electrical signals to the temperature measuring component. After receiving the signal from the induction component, the temperature measuring component will perform one-on-one individual temperature measurement on each vessel to ensure that the temperature of each vessel can be accurately obtained. At the same time, the temperature measuring component transmits the measured temperature value to the display unit, and the display unit can display the specific temperature value of the vessel at each position, enabling the operator to intuitively view the temperature data of each vessel. When there is no vessel on a certain receiving groove, no temperature value is displayed at this position, thus more intuitively reflecting the storage situation of the vessels inside the incubator. This not only facilitates the operator's control and management of the experimental process but also improves the accuracy and reliability of the experiment.

[0013] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present utility model can be further improved as follows.

[0014] Further, the temperature measuring component includes a vertical rod and a temperature measuring plate. The vertical rod is fixed at the four corners of the top of the substrate, and the temperature measuring plate is fixed at the top of the vertical rod.

[0015] Further, at the bottom of the temperature measuring plate corresponding to the position of the receiving groove, a plurality of infrared temperature sensors corresponding to the number of receiving grooves are provided.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the temperature measuring component includes a vertical rod and a temperature measuring plate. The vertical rod is fixed at the four corners of the top of the substrate, ensuring that the temperature measuring plate is stably installed above the petri dish rack. The temperature measuring plate is fixed at the top of the vertical rod, providing a fixed and positioning platform for the infrared temperature sensors. At the bottom of the temperature measuring plate, corresponding to the position of each receiving groove, infrared temperature sensors are provided, and the sensors correspond one-to-one with the number of receiving grooves, ensuring that each vessel can be individually and accurately temperature measured.

[0017] Further, the display unit includes a plurality of display screens corresponding to the number of receiving grooves. Among them, each display screen corresponds one-to-one with the infrared temperature sensor at the top of each receiving groove and is electrically connected respectively.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are that by equipping each accommodation slot with an independent display screen, the operator can intuitively see the real-time temperature of each utensil, and can also more intuitively reflect the storage situation of the utensils inside the incubator, facilitating the operator's control and management of the experimental process.

[0019] Further, the induction component is set as a micro weight sensor.

[0020] Further, the micro weight sensor is electrically connected to the display screen and the infrared temperature sensor respectively.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are that the micro weight sensor can detect the presence of utensils in each accommodation slot in real time. Once a utensil is placed or removed, the sensor will immediately capture the change in weight and transmit the signal to the display screen and the infrared temperature sensor through electrical connection. When the micro weight sensor detects that there is a utensil in a certain accommodation slot, it will automatically activate the corresponding infrared temperature sensor for temperature measurement and display the temperature data on the corresponding display screen in real time. If the utensil in a certain accommodation slot is removed, the corresponding infrared temperature sensor will stop working, and the corresponding display screen will also show as empty, thus clearly showing the storage situation of the utensils inside the incubator.

[0027] The principles and features of the present utility model are described below with reference to the drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0028] In the fields of microbiology, medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology, microbial incubators play a crucial role in cultivating and observing the growth process of microorganisms. Since the temperature controlled inside the incubator may be obstructed by other vessels and the culture dish rack for each vessel, there are differences in the actual temperature of each vessel. The temperature detection devices usually equipped with traditional incubators can only monitor the average temperature inside the entire incubator and cannot accurately obtain the actual temperature of each vessel, which may lead to errors in experimental data.

[0029] Secondly, during the process of culturing microorganisms, operators need to accurately understand the storage situation of vessels on the culture dish rack inside the incubator to reasonably arrange the experimental process. However, traditional incubators lack an effective vessel detection mechanism, and operators cannot intuitively and accurately know the storage quantity and location of vessels inside the incubator. This not only increases the complexity and time cost of operation but also may affect the normal progress of the experiment. For this reason, the utility model person proposes a microbial intelligent incubator to solve the above problems.

[0030] The utility model provides the following preferred embodiments

[0031] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a microbial intelligent incubator includes:

[0033] At least one culture dish rack 20, at least one culture dish rack 20 is built into the incubator main body 10. Among them, the culture dish rack 20 includes a substrate 201, vessels 202, and a plurality of receiving grooves 203 for storing vessels 202. The plurality of receiving grooves 203 are arranged in a rectangular array and opened on the substrate 201, and the vessels 202 are located in the receiving grooves 203 of the substrate 201;

[0034] An induction component 30, the induction component 30 is arranged between each vessel 202 and the substrate 201, and is used to sense whether the vessel 202 exists on the receiving groove 203 of the substrate 201;

[0035] A temperature measurement component 40, the temperature measurement component 40 is arranged on the substrate 201. When the induction component 30 senses that the vessel 202 exists in the receiving groove 203, the temperature measurement component 40 starts to detect the temperature of the vessel 202;

[0036] At least one group of display units 50 adapted to be used with the culture dish rack 20, the display units 50 are arranged on the outside of the incubator and are electrically connected to the temperature measurement component 40 and the induction component 30, and are used to display the temperature value measured by the temperature measurement component 40 for the vessel 202;

[0037] By introducing the induction component 30 and the temperature measurement component 40, this incubator realizes the accurate monitoring and display of the temperature of each vessel 202 inside the incubator. Specifically, the induction component 30 is used to monitor in real time whether each vessel 202 exists in the receiving groove 203 and transmits the relevant electrical signals to the temperature measurement component 40. After receiving the signal from the induction component 30, the temperature measurement component 40 performs individual temperature measurement on each vessel 202 one by one to ensure that the temperature of each vessel 202 can be accurately obtained. At the same time, the temperature measurement component 40 transmits the measured temperature value to the display unit 50, and the display unit 50 can display the specific temperature value of the vessel 202 at each position, enabling the operator to intuitively view the temperature data of each vessel 202. When there is no vessel 202 on a certain receiving groove 203, the temperature value at that position is not displayed, thus more intuitively reflecting the storage situation of the vessels 202 inside the incubator. This not only facilitates the operator's control and management of the experimental process but also improves the accuracy and reliability of the experiment.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the temperature measurement component 40 includes a vertical rod 401 and a temperature measurement plate 402. The vertical rod 401 is fixed at the four corners of the top of the substrate 201, and the temperature measurement plate 402 is fixed at the top of the vertical rod 401. At the bottom of the temperature measurement plate 402, corresponding to the position of the receiving groove 203, a plurality of infrared temperature sensors 403 of the BRW600 - 400A model are provided, and the number of infrared temperature sensors 403 corresponds to the number of receiving grooves 203.

[0039] The temperature measurement component 40 includes a vertical rod 401 and a temperature measurement plate 402. The vertical rod 401 is fixed at the four corners of the top of the substrate 201 to ensure that the temperature measurement plate 402 is stably installed above the petri dish rack 20. The temperature measurement plate 402 is fixed at the top of the vertical rod 401, providing a fixed and positioning platform for the infrared temperature sensors 403. At the bottom of the temperature measurement plate 402, corresponding to the position of each receiving groove 203, there are infrared temperature sensors 403, and the number of sensors corresponds one by one to the number of receiving grooves 203 to ensure that each vessel 202 can be individually and accurately temperature - measured.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the display unit 50 includes a plurality of display screens 501 corresponding to the number of receiving slots 203. Among them, each display screen 501 corresponds one-to-one with the infrared temperature sensor 403 at the top of each receiving slot 203 and is electrically connected respectively. By equipping each receiving slot 203 with an independent display screen 501, the operator can intuitively see the real-time temperature of each container 202, and can also more intuitively reflect the storage situation of the containers 202 inside the incubator, facilitating the operator's control and management of the experimental process.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the induction component 30 is set as a micro weight sensor of the HZC-H1 model. The micro weight sensor is electrically connected to the display screen 501 and the infrared temperature sensor 403 respectively. The micro weight sensor can detect the presence of the container 202 in each receiving slot 203 in real time. Once a container 202 is put in or taken out, the sensor will immediately capture the change in weight and transmit the signal to the display screen 501 and the infrared temperature sensor 403 through electrical connection. When the micro weight sensor detects that there is a container 202 in a certain receiving slot 203, it will automatically activate the corresponding infrared temperature sensor 403 to measure the temperature and display the temperature data on the corresponding display screen 501 in real time. If the container 202 in a certain receiving slot 203 is removed, the corresponding infrared temperature sensor 403 will stop working, and the corresponding display screen 501 will also show as empty, thus clearly showing the storage situation of the containers 202 inside the incubator.

[0042] The specific working process of the present utility model is as follows:

[0043] (1) Detect the presence of the container 202

[0044] First of all, the micro weight sensor can detect the presence of the container 202 in each receiving slot 203 in real time. Once a container 202 is put in or taken out, the micro weight sensor will immediately capture the change in weight and transmit the signal to the display screen 501 and the infrared temperature sensor 403 through electrical connection.

[0045] (2) Start temperature measurement

[0046] When a container 202 is put into the receiving slot 203, the micro weight sensor captures the change in weight and transmits the signal to the display screen 501 and the infrared temperature sensor 403 through electrical connection. After transmitting the relevant electrical signal to the infrared temperature sensor 403, it will perform one-to-one individual temperature measurement on each container 202.

[0047] (3) Display the specific temperature of each container 202 in the incubator

[0048] By equipping each accommodating groove 203 with an independent display screen 501, and the independent display screen 501 is adapted to the infrared temperature sensor 403 above the accommodating groove 203. When the infrared temperature sensor 403 above the accommodating groove 203 measures the temperature of the corresponding utensil 202, it can feedback the specific temperature value to the display screen 501 corresponding to the accommodating groove 203, and the display screen 501 can then display the temperature of the utensil.

[0049] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
