[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a fermentation cultivation device for cultivating microorganisms using natural plants.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-6 A fermentation cultivation device for cultivating microorganisms using natural plants includes a cultivation box body 1. A sliding seat 2 is provided inside the cultivation box body 1, and a groove for placing cultivation trays is opened inside the sliding seat 2. An ultraviolet germicidal lamp 25 is installed inside the cultivation box body 1. A box body 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cultivation box body 1. The box body 3 is used to store the nutrients required by the microorganisms, and the box body 3 also contains an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 25 and a pump for transporting nutrients. A conveying device is provided on the lower side of the box body 3. Three hollow tubes 4 for nutrient flow are provided inside the cultivation box body 1. Several outlets 401 for nutrient outflow are opened on the lower side of each of the three hollow tubes 4. Each part is fixedly connected to two fixing rods 6, which serve as connecting rods. The opposite ends of the two fixing rods 6 are rotatably connected to fixing plates 5, which serve as fixing plates. The fixing plates 5 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator body 1. The two adjacent fixing plates 5 are rotatably connected to a connecting rod 8, which serves as connecting and supporting rods. Both ends of the connecting rod 8 are rotatably inserted into the interior of the fixing plate 5 and fixedly connected to the fixing rods 6. The surface of the upper fixing plate 5 is rotatably connected to a support rod 7, which serves as supporting rods and transmission rods. The lower end of the support rod 7 is rotatably inserted into the interior of the fixing plate 5 and fixedly connected to the fixing rods 6. The rotation of the support rod 7 can drive the rotation of the upper fixing rod 6, and the rotation of the fixing rod 6 can drive the rotation of the connecting rod 8.

[0028] The incubator body 1 has a first cavity 9 inside. The upper end of the support rod 7 rotatably penetrates into the first cavity 9 and is rotatably connected to the top wall of the first cavity 9. A gear 10 for driving the support rod 7 to rotate is fixedly sleeved on one end of the support rod 7 inside the first cavity 9. The rotation of the gear 10 can drive the rotation of the support rod 7. A movable plate 11 is slidably connected inside the first cavity 9. The surface of the movable plate 11 has a tooth groove 12 that meshes with the teeth on the surface of the gear 10. Because the tooth groove 12 on the surface of the movable plate 11 meshes with the teeth on the surface of the gear 10, the movement of the movable plate 11 will drive the gear 10 to reciprocate. A guide groove 13 is provided on the inner wall of the first cavity 9. A drive component for driving the movable plate 11 to move is provided inside the guide groove 13.

[0029] The drive assembly includes a reciprocating lead screw 14, which is rotatably connected inside the guide groove 13. A reciprocating lead screw sleeve 15 for transmission is threaded onto the surface of the reciprocating lead screw 14. The reciprocating lead screw sleeve 15 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 13. The rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 14 can drive the reciprocating lead screw sleeve 15 to slide back and forth inside the guide groove 13. The reciprocating lead screw sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 11. The movement of the reciprocating lead screw sleeve 15 can drive the moving plate 11 to move back and forth.

[0030] The top plate of the incubator body 1 has a second cavity 17. The left end of the reciprocating screw 14 is fixedly connected to an extension rod 18, which serves as a support and connection. The rotation of the extension rod 18 drives the rotation of the reciprocating screw 14. The extension rod 18 rotates and penetrates into the interior of the second cavity 17. The upper surface of the incubator body 1 is fixedly connected to a motor 16. The output shaft of the motor 16 rotates and penetrates into the interior of the second cavity 17. The output shaft of the motor 16 and the end of the extension rod 18 located inside the second cavity 17 are both fitted with bevel gears 19 for transmission. The motor 16 is started by the controller and the microcomputer. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 16 drives the rotation of the upper bevel gear 19. The two bevel gears 19 mesh and are connected. The rotation of the extension rod 18 is achieved through the transmission of the two bevel gears 19.

[0031] Among them, the motor 16 is also equipped with a power supply, wires, controller and microcomputer, etc. Since they are not the main technologies, they will not be described in detail.

[0032] The conveying device includes a first connecting pipe 20 for conveying nutrients. The first connecting pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the box body 3. The upper end of the first connecting pipe 20 penetrates into the interior of the box body 3. The upper end of the first connecting pipe 20 is connected to a pump located inside the box body 3. Three second connecting pipes 21, which are also used for conveying nutrients, are fixedly connected to the surface of the first connecting pipe 20. All three second connecting pipes 21 penetrate into the interior of the incubator body 1. By activating the pump inside the box body 3, the sterilized nutrients will enter the interior of the second connecting pipes 21 through the first connecting pipe 20.

[0033] The rear end of the hollow tube 4 is fixedly connected to a corrugated pipe 22 for conveying nutrients, and the corrugated pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the second connecting pipe 21.

[0034] The incubator body 1 is internally fixedly connected to a hydraulic telescopic rod 24 for driving the sliding seat 2 to move. The telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 24 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 2. A sealing plate 23 is fixedly connected to the right end of the sliding seat 2. A sealing door 26 is rotatably sleeved on the upper side of the incubator body 1.

[0035] Among them, the incubation chamber environment controller is also matched with the main body 1 of the incubator. It is existing technology, and for details, please refer to the existing technology with publication number CN220724156U. Therefore, it will not be described or shown in detail.

[0036] The implementation principle of a fermentation cultivation device for cultivating microorganisms using natural plants in this application embodiment is as follows: A worker adds nutrients to the inside of the chamber 3 and sterilizes it. Subsequently, the controller and microcomputer start the motor 16. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 16 drives the rotation of the upper bevel gear 19. The transmission of the two bevel gears 19 enables the rotation of the extension rod 18. The rotation of the extension rod 18 drives the rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 14. The rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 14 causes the reciprocating lead screw sleeve 15 to reciprocate within the guide groove 13. The sliding mechanism allows the moving plate 11 to move back and forth by moving the reciprocating screw sleeve 15. Since the toothed groove 12 on the surface of the moving plate 11 and the teeth on the surface of the gear 10 are meshed, the movement of the moving plate 11 will drive the gear 10 to rotate back and forth. The rotation of the gear 10 will drive the rotation of the support rod 7, which in turn will drive the rotation of the upper fixed rod 6. The rotation of the fixed rod 6 will then drive the rotation of the connecting rod 8, ultimately achieving synchronous rotation of all the fixed rods 6. At the same time, the movement of the fixed rods 6 will drive the hollow tube 4 to swing.

[0037] Furthermore, when the hollow tube 4 swings, the corrugated tube 22 will not affect the connection between the hollow tube 4 and the second connecting tube 21.

[0038] Subsequently, by activating the pump inside the housing 3, the sterilized nutrients will enter the second connecting pipe 21 through the first connecting pipe 20, then enter the corrugated pipe 22 through the second connecting pipe 21, and then enter the hollow pipe 4 through the corrugated pipe 22, finally flowing out from the port 401, thus achieving the addition of nutrients.

[0039] The above are merely optional embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Various modifications and variations can be made to this disclosure by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
