Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of microbial cultivation, and in particular relates to a microbial cultivation device. Background Art

[0002] Microbial culture refers to the rapid growth and reproduction of certain microorganisms with the help of artificially prepared culture media and artificially created culture conditions (such as culture temperature, etc.). It is called microbial culture. Microbial culture can be divided into pure culture and mixed culture. The former refers to the cultivation and utilization of a purified single strain of bacteria, and the latter refers to the cultivation of mixed strains or microorganisms in natural samples (such as soil). Then, based on the types and numbers of microorganisms grown on the culture medium, the diversity and number of microorganisms in the soil can be estimated to a certain extent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-3 A microorganism culture device includes a main box body 1, a mounting plate 2 is provided inside the main box body 1, and the front and rear sides of the mounting plate 2 are horizontally slidably connected to the front and rear side walls of the main box body 1 respectively. The upper surface of the mounting plate 2 is provided with a fixing mechanism for fixing the culture container 21, and the left end of the main box body 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting box 3, and the mounting box 3 is communicated with the main box body 1. A driving motor 4 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the mounting box 3, and the output shaft of the driving motor 4 is vertically downwardly arranged and fixedly connected to a crankshaft 5. A connecting rod 6 is hinged at the left end of the mounting plate 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the crankshaft 5. A feeding mechanism for adding culture solution to the culture container 21 is penetrated through the top wall of the main box body 1.

[0021] The driving motor 4 can drive the crankshaft 5 to rotate. During the rotation, the crankshaft 5 can drive the mounting plate 2 to move left and right through the connecting rod 6, so that the culture container 21 fixed on the mounting plate 2 can be shaken.

[0022] In this embodiment, sliders 7 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the mounting plate 2. Slide grooves that cooperate with the sliders 7 are respectively formed on the front and rear side walls of the main housing 1. The sliders 7 on the front and rear sides of the mounting plate 2 are slidably mounted within the slide grooves on the front and rear side walls of the main housing 1. The arrangement of the slide grooves and sliders 7 provides support and guidance for the mounting plate 2, allowing the mounting plate 2 to move smoothly back and forth left and right under the drive of the connecting rod 6.

[0023] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding pipe 8, which passes through the top wall of the main box body 1 and is slidably connected to the top wall of the main box body 1. The bottom end of the feeding pipe 8 is connected to a feeding pipe 9 inclined downward on both sides, and a plurality of feeding ports are arranged at intervals at the bottom end of the feeding pipe 9. The top end of the feeding pipe 8 is connected to a feeding hopper 10, and a sealing cover is installed on the top end of the feeding hopper 10. When it is necessary to add culture solution to the culture container 21, the sealing cover at the top of the feeding hopper 10 can be opened, and then the culture solution can be added to the feeding hopper 10. The added culture solution will pass through the feeding pipe 8 and the feeding pipe 9 in turn, and finally enter the culture container 21 through the feeding port. After the culture solution is added, the sealing cover can be closed to prevent microorganisms in the external environment from entering the main box body 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, a baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top end of the feed pipe 8. A spring 12 is sleeved on the feed pipe 8 between the baffle 11 and the top end of the main housing 1. Under the elastic force of the spring 12, the feed pipe 8 and the feeding pipe 9 are at their highest position, thereby preventing the feeding pipe 9 from interfering with the shaking of the culture container 21. When it is necessary to add culture medium to the culture container 21, the feed pipe 8 can be pressed downward to allow the feeding pipe 9 to extend into the culture container 21, thereby preventing the culture medium from splashing. When the culture medium is added, the pressure on the feed pipe 8 is stopped, and the feed pipe 8 returns to its original height under the elastic force of the spring 12.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes two parallel fixing plates 13, each fixedly connected to either side of the top of the mounting plate 2. Adjustment bolts 14 are threadedly connected to each fixing plate 13. The ends of the two adjusting bolts 14, which are positioned close to each other, are rotatably connected to arcuate clamping plates 15. By rotating the two adjusting bolts 14, the two arcuate clamping plates 15 can be moved away from or toward each other, thereby loosening or tightening the culture container 21.

[0026] In this embodiment, an electric heating plate 16 is provided on the bottom wall of the main box body 1, which can heat the inside of the main box body 1. A cooling water circulation channel 17 is provided inside the side wall of the main box body 1. The water inlet of the cooling water circulation channel 17 is located at the bottom of the outer wall of the main box body 1, and the water outlet of the cooling water circulation channel 17 is located at the top of the outer wall of the main box body 1. The water inlet is connected to the water pump through a pipeline, so that cooling water is supplied to the cooling water circulation channel 17 through the water pump to achieve the purpose of cooling the inside of the main box body 1. The water outlet is connected to the outlet pipeline for recovering the heated cooling water.

[0027] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the main box body 1, which can monitor the temperature inside the main box body 1 in real time. When the temperature is too high, the water pump can be turned on to introduce cooling water for cooling. When the temperature is too low, the electric heating plate 16 can be turned on to heat it up.

[0028] In this embodiment, a PLC controller is also included. The temperature sensor 18, the electric heating plate 16 and the water pump are all electrically connected to the PLC controller. The temperature sensor 18 can feed back temperature data to the PLC controller in real time. The PLC controller controls the working status of the electric heating plate 16 and the water pump according to the temperature, so that the temperature in the main box 1 is always maintained within an appropriate range.

[0029] In this embodiment, a sealed door 19 is hinged at the front end of the main box 1 to facilitate the placement and installation of the culture container 21. A transparent glass window 20 is provided in the middle of the sealed door 19, and the culture status can be observed through the transparent glass window 20 during the culture process.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
