[0026] The present utility model will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] As Figures 1-3 , a new type of single-channel microbial suction filter includes a housing 001 and a set of suction filter components. The housing 001 is made of stainless steel mirror material for easy cleaning and disinfection. The suction filter components consist of a suction filter interface and a suction pump 006. The suction filter interface includes a base 003 and a connector 002. The base 003 is set at the top of the housing 001, and the connector 002 is connected to the top of the base 003 by threading. A diversion hole is provided at the center of the base 003, and a diversion groove corresponding to the diversion hole is provided at the center of the connector 002. The diversion groove is funnel-shaped. A first sealing ring 010 is provided outside the top opening of the diversion hole. The first sealing ring 010 is installed in the first installation groove at the top of the base 003. After the connector 002 is tightened by threading, it squeezes the first sealing ring 010 for sealing to prevent liquid leakage from flowing out through the gap between the base 003 and the connector 002 at the connection position of the diversion hole and the diversion groove. The top of the connector 002 can be sleeved with a sample cup 100. A second sealing ring 009 is provided between the connector 002 and the sample cup 100. The second sealing ring 009 is installed in the second installation groove on the side of the connector 002. The installation of the second sealing ring 009 can prevent liquid leakage between the connector 002 and the sample cup 100. The bottom of the diversion hole is connected to the suction pump 006 through a hose 004. The suction pump 006 is installed inside the housing 001, and the suction pump 006 is connected to the liquid discharge port 005 on the housing 001 through the hose 004.
[0029] The sample cup 100 used in this embodiment is a disposable consumable, and a filter membrane is placed at the inner bottom of the sample cup 100. During operation, the sample cup 100 filled with liquid is sleeved on the connector 002, and the suction pump 006 is turned on to start suction filtration. During suction filtration, the microorganisms in the liquid will remain on the filter membrane, and the filtrate will be discharged from the liquid discharge port 005. After the suction is completed, the filter membrane is taken out and placed in a culture dish for culturing, and then analyzed. Since disposable consumables are used, it is not necessary to perform flame disinfection on the equipment after each sample suction filtration, which is more rapid and convenient.
[0030] When the connector 002 needs to be disinfected, since the connector 002 and the base 003 are threadedly connected, the connector 002 can be detached from the base 003, and different specifications of the connector 002 can also be replaced to match sample cups 100 of different specifications.
[0031] Preferably, the suction pump 006 is installed on the fixing plate 007. The fixing plate 007 is arranged inside the housing 001 body. A shock absorber 008 is provided between the fixing plate 007 and the bottom plate of the housing 001 body to reduce the noise when the suction pump 006 starts. Preferably, the suction pump 006 is a diaphragm pump, which can avoid the corrosion of the pump structure by the reagent during the liquid suction process.
[0032] A gasket 011 is provided between the base 003 and the housing 001. Preferably, the gasket 011 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which can prevent the corrosion of the solvent when cleaning the device.
[0033] It should be noted that the microbial suction filter of the present utility model further includes a control circuit, such as Figure 4 , specifically, the suction pump 006 is connected to a start button. A time controller is provided between the start button and the suction pump 006. The start button is connected to a power supply, and a power button is provided on the power supply. By using the time controller to control the operation time of the suction pump 006 (diaphragm pump), the operation is more convenient.
[0034] Embodiment 2:
[0035] Such as Figures 5-8, a new type of three-channel microbial suction filter, comprising a housing 001 and three sets of suction filter components. The housing 001 is made of stainless steel mirror material to facilitate cleaning and disinfection. The suction filter component consists of a suction filter interface and a suction pump 006. The suction filter interface includes a base 003 and a connector 002. The base 003 is arranged at the top of the housing 001, and the connector 002 is threadedly connected to the top of the base 003. A diversion hole is provided at the center of the base 003, and a diversion groove corresponding to the diversion hole is provided at the center of the connector 002. The diversion groove is funnel-shaped. A first sealing ring 010 is provided outside the top opening of the diversion hole. The first sealing ring 010 is installed in the first installation groove at the top of the base 003. After the connector 002 is tightened by threading, the first sealing ring 010 is squeezed for sealing to prevent liquid leakage from flowing out through the gap between the base 003 and the connector 002 at the connection position of the diversion hole and the diversion groove. The top of the connector 002 can be sleeved with a sample cup 100. A second sealing ring 009 is provided between the connector 002 and the sample cup 100. The second sealing ring 009 is installed in the second installation groove on the side of the connector 002. The installation of the second sealing ring 009 can prevent liquid leakage between the connector 002 and the sample cup 100. The bottom of the diversion hole is connected to the suction pump 006 through a hose 004. The suction pump 006 is installed inside the housing 001, and the suction pump 006 is connected to the liquid discharge port 005 on the housing 001 through the hose 004.
[0036] The sample cup 100 used in this embodiment is a disposable consumable, and a filter membrane is placed at the inner bottom of the sample cup 100. During operation, the sample cup 100 containing liquid is sleeved on the connector 002, and the suction pump 006 is turned on to start suction filtration. During suction filtration, the microorganisms in the liquid will stay on the filter membrane, and the filtrate is discharged from the liquid discharge port 005. After the suction is completed, the filter membrane is taken out and placed in a culture dish for cultivation, and then analyzed. Since disposable consumables are used, it is not necessary to perform flame disinfection on the equipment after each sample suction filtration, which is more rapid and convenient.
[0037] When it is necessary to disinfect the connector 002, since the connector 002 and the base 003 are threadedly connected, the connector 002 can be detached from the base 003, and different specifications of connectors 002 can also be replaced to match different specifications of sample cups 100.
[0038] Preferably, the suction pump 006 is installed on a fixing plate 007. The fixing plate 007 is arranged inside the housing 001 body. A shock absorber 008 is provided between the fixing plate 007 and the bottom plate of the housing 001 body to reduce the noise when the suction pump 006 starts. Preferably, the suction pump 006 is a diaphragm pump, which can avoid the corrosion of the pump structure by reagents during liquid suction treatment.
[0039] A gasket 011 is provided between the base 003 and the housing 001. Preferably, the gasket 011 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material, which can prevent the corrosion of solvents when cleaning the equipment.
[0040] It should be noted that the microbial suction filter of the present utility model further includes a control circuit, such as Figure 9 , specifically, the suction pumps 006 of the three suction filter components are connected to a relay module, the relay module is connected to a start button, a touch screen PLC all-in-one machine is provided between the relay module and the start button, the start button is connected to a power supply, and a power button is provided on the power supply. The touch screen PLC all-in-one machine is built-in with a time control module. Through touch operation, the running time can be set (for example, 40s). This device has a power-off saving function, and the set time will not disappear after power-off, so there is no need to set the running time again when using it next time. In addition, it can be set through the touch screen whether the diaphragm pumps associated with the three channels run all or partially shut down. After the setting is completed, place the sample cup 100 filled with liquid. When the start button is pressed, the diaphragm pump starts, and at the same time, the countdown starts on the touch screen. When the countdown ends, the diaphragm pump stops running, and at the same time, the time control module returns to the set value. In addition, an external control interface is provided on the device, and the device can be controlled to start and stop through external components (such as: foot switch, PLC, computer, etc.).
