Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more easily understood, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited thereto.
[0023] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2
[0024] A microbial culture and storage system includes an open-air culture tank 10, an aeration device 20 installed in the culture tank, a waterproof lighting device 30 installed above the aeration device, a sunshade 40 installed on one side of the culture tank, and several temporary storage tanks 50 connected to the culture tank by pipelines installed in the sunshade 40. Each temporary storage tank is equipped with a drain pipe 51 leading to a sewage tank.
[0025] In this embodiment, multiple culture tanks can be arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction, with each culture tank having a volume of about 5m³, thereby increasing the cultivation volume of photosynthetic microorganisms.
[0026] In this embodiment, the aeration device includes an aeration input pipe 21 installed in the culture tank, and a plurality of aeration discs 22 are evenly distributed on the aeration input pipe to provide oxygen to the microorganisms.
[0027] In this embodiment, the waterproof lighting device is a waterproof lamp tube 31 and a bracket 32 installed in the culture tank. Multiple waterproof lamp tubes can be installed on the upper side of the aeration device.
[0028] In this embodiment, to better observe the growth of microorganisms in the culture tank, a transparent window 11 is provided on the side wall of the culture tank, and several colorimetric cards 12 are affixed to the transparent window. This facilitates comparison between the water in the tank and the colorimetric cards, and allows for determination of the microbial growth status based on the colorimetric cards. The colorimetric cards are detachably connected to the culture tank, for example, via Velcro, for easy replacement of the colorimetric cards.
[0029] In this embodiment, an inlet pipe 13 is provided on the upper part of one side of the culture tank, and an outlet pipe 14 connected to a temporary storage tank is provided on the lower part of the other side of the culture tank. A pump body 15 is provided on the outlet pipe so that the water in the culture tank can be discharged into the temporary storage tank for temporary storage. The output end of the outlet pipe is located on the upper side of the temporary storage tank.
[0030] In this embodiment, the sunshade includes a frame 41, on which a sunshade cloth 42 is covered. Both sides of the sunshade cloth extend downwards, with the extension length being half the height of the frame. The downward extension of the sunshade cloth on both sides provides better sunshade and insulation for the liquid inside the storage tank.
[0031] In this embodiment, the drain pipe is located at the bottom of the temporary storage tank and is equipped with a valve, which helps to control the flow of water.
[0032] In this embodiment, the culture tank is a canvas tank with a supporting frame, and the temporary storage bucket is a plastic bucket, which helps to save costs.
[0033] In this embodiment, the volume of the culture tank is larger than the volume of the temporary storage tank, for example, the volume of the temporary storage tank is 0.5m³.
[0034] When in use, the lighting device can be turned on in poor weather conditions, such as cloudy or rainy days, to provide light for the growth of microorganisms and promote their growth. As the water color gradually darkens during microbial growth (the water is lighter in the early stages and darker as growth progresses; for example, a yellowish color indicates that the microorganisms are aging), the water in the tank can be compared with a colorimetric card through a transparent window to determine the growth status of the microorganisms. If the color darkens and approaches yellow, the water in the culture tank needs to be drained into a temporary storage tank, and then water and nutrients should be added back into the culture tank to allow the microorganisms to regrow. The liquid in the temporary storage tank can then be discharged into the wastewater treatment tank for reuse as needed.
[0035] The transparent window can be cleaned regularly to prevent it from becoming covered with microorganisms.
[0036] If this utility model discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then unless otherwise stated, a fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws) or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting or welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral forming process).
[0037] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model above include states or shapes that are similar to, close to, or approximate with them.
[0038] Any component provided by this utility model can be assembled from multiple individual components, or it can be a single component manufactured by a one-piece molding process.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
