Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater monitoring technology, specifically to a monitoring device for microbial communities in wastewater treatment. Background Technology

[0002] Monitoring the microbial community is crucial in wastewater treatment. Through monitoring, the composition, quantity, and activity of the microbial community in wastewater can be tracked in real time, revealing its dynamic changes under varying treatment conditions. The state of the microbial community is closely related to treatment effectiveness; monitoring allows for the assessment of wastewater treatment efficiency and stability.

[0003] In the field of wastewater treatment, existing microbial community monitoring devices can efficiently amplify and sequence the DNA or RNA of microbial communities in wastewater, thereby providing a deeper understanding of the composition and function of the microbial community and offering a scientific basis for optimizing treatment processes. However, in wastewater microbial community monitoring and analysis, wastewater samples are often monitored in open or semi-open environments. This allows airborne microorganisms to come into contact with the wastewater samples and be monitored along with them. Contamination by external microorganisms can interfere with the accurate analysis of the original microbial community in the wastewater, causing the monitoring results to deviate from the actual situation and failing to truly reflect the state of the microbial community during the wastewater treatment process. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a monitoring device for microbial communities in wastewater treatment. This device solves the problem that in the monitoring, treatment, and analysis of microbial communities in wastewater, wastewater samples are often monitored in open or semi-open environments. This allows airborne microorganisms to come into contact with the wastewater sample and be monitored along with it. External microbial contamination can interfere with the accurate analysis of the original microbial community in the wastewater, causing the monitoring results to deviate from the actual situation and failing to truly reflect the state of the microbial community during the wastewater treatment process.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a monitoring device for microbial communities in wastewater treatment, including a monitoring instrument, the top of which is provided with a platform for placing wastewater, and the outer surface of the platform is provided with positioning columns;

[0006] The outer surface of the platform is fitted with a protective cover, and the inner wall of the protective cover is provided with a vertical groove and an arc-shaped groove. The top of the vertical groove is connected to the top of the arc-shaped groove, and the positioning post is located inside the arc-shaped groove.

[0007] Furthermore, a support base is fixedly connected to the top of the monitoring instrument, and the platform is fixedly connected to the top of the support base.

[0008] Furthermore, the stage is shaped like a circular sleeve.

[0009] Furthermore, the vertical groove and the arc-shaped groove have the same width.

[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the positioning post is smaller than the width of the vertical groove, and the height of the positioning post is smaller than the depth of the vertical groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a compression spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover, and a push plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the compression spring, with the bottom of the push plate abutting against the top of the platform.

[0012] Furthermore, a sealing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate, and the sealing block is movably inserted into the top inside the platform.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer surface of the protective cover is fixedly connected with anti-slip protrusions at equal intervals around the circumference.

[0014] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a monitoring device for microbial communities in wastewater treatment, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The microbial community monitoring device for wastewater treatment has a protective cover that fits tightly with the platform, effectively preventing microorganisms from the outside air from falling into the wastewater sample. This reduces the error in the monitoring results and improves the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring. By reducing external interference, the monitor can complete the monitoring task more quickly and accurately, thus improving the efficiency of microbial community monitoring in the wastewater treatment process.

[0016] 2. This monitoring device for microbial communities in wastewater treatment involves placing a protective cover on top of the platform and positioning the positioning column within the vertical groove. Pressing the protective cover down causes the positioning column to slide into the arc-shaped groove within the vertical groove. When the positioning column reaches the arc-shaped groove, rotating the protective cover allows the positioning column to enter the interior of the arc-shaped groove, thereby fixing the protective cover onto the platform. This effectively solves the problem of external microbial contamination and improves the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring results.

[0017] 3. When the protective cover is placed on the platform, the compression spring is compressed, and the push plate moves downward and closely abuts against the top of the platform, ensuring good sealing under different conditions (such as vibration, temperature changes, etc.) to prevent the intrusion of external air and microorganisms.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 A device for monitoring microbial communities in wastewater treatment includes a monitor 1, which is a PCR instrument or a gene sequencer. The PCR instrument is a polymerase chain reaction instrument. The PCR instrument can be used to analyze the diversity of microbial communities in wastewater by amplifying the total DNA of microorganisms in the wastewater and then using technologies such as DGGE to separate different types of DNA fragments to form specific band patterns, thereby reflecting the diversity of microbial communities.

[0028] Gene sequencers utilize high-throughput sequencing technology to perform comprehensive and in-depth sequencing analysis of microbial communities in wastewater. This method can acquire a large amount of microbial sequence data, and through bioinformatics analysis, it can reveal information such as the composition, structure, function, and dynamic changes of the microbial community.

[0029] The top of the monitor 1 is provided with a platform 3 for placing wastewater. The platform 3 is in the shape of a circular sleeve. The outer surface of the platform 3 is provided with a positioning post 4. The outer surface of the platform 3 is covered with a protective cover 5. The inner wall of the protective cover 5 is provided with a vertical groove 6 and an arc groove 7. The top of the vertical groove 6 is connected to the top of the arc groove 7. The positioning post 4 is located inside the arc groove 7.

[0030] The top of the monitor 1 is fixedly connected to a support base 2, and the stage 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 2. The wastewater sample is placed on the stage 3. The circular sleeve design of the stage 3 helps to fix and stabilize the wastewater sample, preventing movement or splashing during monitoring. A protective cover 5 is fitted onto the outer surface of the stage 3. Through the cooperation of the vertical groove 6 and the arc-shaped groove 7 with the positioning column 4, a tight seal is achieved, effectively isolating the wastewater sample from direct contact with outside air and reducing the risk of external microorganisms falling into the sample. Under the sealed protection of the protective cover 5, the monitor 1 begins to monitor the microbial community in the wastewater sample. The monitoring process may include sample pretreatment, microbial amplification, sequencing, and data analysis. The tight cooperation between the protective cover 5 and the stage 3 effectively prevents microorganisms from the outside air from falling into the wastewater sample, thereby reducing the error of the monitoring results and improving the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 The vertical groove 6 and the arc-shaped groove 7 have equal widths. The diameter of the positioning post 4 is smaller than the width of the vertical groove 6, and the height of the positioning post 4 is smaller than the depth of the vertical groove 6. When the protective cover 5 is fitted onto the platform 3, the positioning post 4 can easily slide into the vertical groove 6 and be guided into the arc-shaped groove 7 to achieve stable positioning, ensuring the seal between the protective cover 5 and the platform 3 and effectively preventing the intrusion of external air and microorganisms.

[0032] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 A compression spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover 5, and a push plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the compression spring 8. The bottom of the push plate 9 abuts against the top of the platform 3. When the protective cover 5 is fitted onto the platform 3, the compression spring 8 is compressed, and the push plate 9 moves downward and abuts tightly against the top of the platform 3, ensuring good sealing under different conditions (such as vibration, temperature changes, etc.) and preventing the intrusion of external air and microorganisms.

[0033] Please see Figure 6 A sealing block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate 9, and the sealing block 10 is movably inserted into the top of the inside of the stage 3. The insertion of the sealing block 10 further enhances the sealing performance. The sealing block 10 can be tightly inserted into the inside of the stage 3 to form an additional sealing barrier, effectively preventing external air, microorganisms or other impurities from entering the wastewater sample.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-4 The outer surface of the protective cover 5 is fixedly connected with anti-slip protrusions 11 at equal intervals around the circumference. The anti-slip protrusions 11 can increase the friction between the operator's hand and the protective cover 5, and prevent accidental drop or fall due to slippage when opening or closing the protective cover.

[0035] Working principle: Place the protective cover 5 on the top of the stage 3, ensuring that the positioning post 4 is aligned and embedded in the vertical groove 6. Then, gently press the protective cover 5 down to make the positioning post 4 slide smoothly in the vertical groove 6 until it reaches the preset turning point—the entrance of the arc groove 7. At this time, rotate the protective cover 5, and the positioning post 4 will slide into the arc groove 7 along its trajectory, thus achieving a stable lock between the protective cover 5 and the stage 3.

[0036] When the protective cover 5 is fitted onto the stage 3, the compression spring 8 is compressed, and the push plate 9 moves downward and comes into close contact with the top of the stage 3. The sealing block 10 can be tightly inserted into the interior of the stage 3 to form an additional sealing barrier, effectively preventing external air, microorganisms or other impurities from entering the wastewater sample.
