Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of large-scale biological in-situ experimental equipment, specifically a large-scale cold spring biological in-situ fixation and culture device. Background Technology
[0002] Studies have shown that stress changes lead to immune stress, and conventional sampling methods cannot reproduce the normal physiological state and regulatory patterns of marine organisms. The effects of stress are even more pronounced on organisms in the symbiotic systems of the main dominant species in hydrothermal vents and cold seeps—symbiotic bacteria usually suffer irreversible loss under stress changes. How to fix the in situ RNA state of organisms under constant pressure has become an urgent task. Using large-scale biological culture and fixation methods can solve part of the problem.
[0003] However, both domestically and internationally, research on special marine life processes remains in its early stages due to insufficient in-situ detection technologies. In particular, the lack of large-scale in-situ biological culture and experimental equipment makes it impossible to characterize and verify the in-situ state of their physiological and biochemical processes. Currently, many domestic marine research institutions are developing related fixation equipment; however, most research on marine organism fixation technology focuses on large-scale biological storage facilities, which are structurally complex, have small sample sizes, and are difficult to operate. For example, utility model patent CN110763503A, published on February 7, 2020, discloses a "ROV-based in-situ fixation device for cutting large organisms such as deep-sea mussels"; utility model patent CN110763502A, also published on February 7, 2020, discloses a "ROV-based in-situ fixation device for compressing large organisms such as deep-sea mussels". Both of these fixation devices use cutting or compressing methods to break up and fix large organisms, but they cannot fix high-throughput samples. The utility model patent published on April 19, 2022, with publication number CN114371062A, discloses a "high-throughput in-situ fixation device for large deep-sea organisms based on ROV". It uses a fixation bucket to fix samples of large organisms. However, since the switch mode is touch-based, leakage is prone to occur when the lid is opened during transportation. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems with existing in-situ fixation devices, and considering the characteristics of in-situ fixation methods for large organisms such as marine mussels and marine molluscs, the purpose of this invention is to provide an in-situ fixation and cultivation device for large organisms in cold seeps.

The rotating shaft pin B is accommodated in the rotating shaft pin groove B, and both ends of the rotating shaft pin B are fixed by rotating shaft pin B bolts installed on the upper sealing support plate. Both the upper and lower sealing support plates have bolt holes for interconnection.
[0012] A silicone ring, which is fixed by compression, is provided between the upper sealing plate and the lower sealing plate, and the silicone ring is fitted onto the top of the culture and fixation tank.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model includes a cover plate 2, a concave groove 8, an upper sealing support plate 9, a lower sealing support plate 10, a locking hook 12, a culture and fixing tank 17, a sealing base 19, a rotating shaft pin A32, a torsion spring A, a torsion spring B36, a rotating shaft pin B37, an opening pull rope 38, and a float 39. The bottom end of the culture and fixing tank 17 is connected to the sealing base 19 via a sealing thread 18, providing a sealing function. The top end of the culture and fixing tank 17 is fixedly connected to the interconnected upper sealing support plate 9 and lower sealing support plate 10. A concave groove 8 is fixedly attached to the inner surface of the tail end of the cover plate 2, and the concave groove 8 is connected to the upper sealing support plate 9 via a rotating shaft pin A32. The device is side-hinged, with a torsion spring A fitted on the rotating shaft pin A32. One end of the torsion spring A abuts against the concave groove 8, and the other end of the torsion spring A abuts against one side of the sealing upper support plate 9 or the sealing lower support plate 10. The lower end of the locking hook 12 is hinged to the other side of the sealing upper support plate 9 via the rotating shaft pin B37. A torsion spring B36 is fitted on the rotating shaft pin B37. One end of the torsion spring B36 abuts against the locking hook 12, and the other end of the torsion spring B36 abuts against the other side of the sealing upper support plate 9 or the sealing lower support plate 10. The float ball 39 is connected to the upper end of the locking hook 12 via the opening pull rope 38. The upper end of the locking hook 12 hooks the sealing plate 2 when the sealing plate 2 is closed.
[0031] In this embodiment, the front end of the cover plate 2 is provided with a cover pressure plate 3, and the upper end of the locking hook 12 hooks the cover pressure plate 3 when the cover plate 2 is closed; the rear end of the cover plate 2 is provided with a cover plate extension 7, and the concave groove 8 is fixed to the inner surface of the cover plate extension 7; the inner surface of the cover plate 2 is provided with a cover sealing plate 4, one side of the cover sealing plate 4 is fixed to the inner surface of the cover plate 2 by multiple fixing bolts A15, and the other side of the cover sealing plate 4 is integrally formed with a cover sealing protrusion 5. After the cover plate 2 is closed, the cover sealing plate 4 contacts the sealing upper support plate 9, and the cover sealing protrusion 5 squeezes the silicone ring 27 to complete the sealing effect, thus playing a sealing role.
[0032] In this embodiment, an external one-way valve 1 and an internal one-way valve 6 are respectively installed on the cover plate 2. The external one-way valve 1 is threaded onto the cover plate 2, and the fluid flow direction of the external one-way valve 1 is from the inside to the outside. When the internal pressure of the culture and fixation tank 17 is greater than that of the outside, the liquid inside the culture and fixation tank 17 flows to the outside through the external one-way valve 1, completing the pressure balance. In this embodiment, the internal one-way valve 6 is threaded onto the cover plate 2, and the liquid flow direction of the internal one-way valve 6 is from the outside to the inside. When the internal pressure of the culture and fixation tank 17 is less than that of the outside, the external liquid flows into the interior of the culture and fixation tank 17 through the internal one-way valve 6, completing the pressure balance.
[0033] like Figures 1-7As shown, in this embodiment, the sealing upper support plate 9 and the sealing lower support plate 10 have the same shape. One side of the sealing upper support plate 9 has a torsion spring hole 30 and a concave groove fixing groove 31, while the other side has a groove 41. An upper support plate sampling hole 25 is located in the middle of the sealing upper support plate 9. Similarly, one side of the sealing lower support plate 10 has a torsion spring hole 30 and a concave groove fixing groove 31, while the other side has a groove 41. A lower support plate sampling hole 26 is located in the middle of the sealing lower support plate 10. The upper support plate sampling hole 25 and the lower support plate sampling hole 26 are glued to the outer top surface of the culture and fixing tank 17 using acrylic adhesive.
[0034] The lower end of the locking hook 12 is accommodated in the groove 41 on the other side of the sealing upper support plate 9 and the sealing lower support plate 10. The torsion spring A is located in the torsion spring hole 30 on one side of the sealing upper support plate 9 and the sealing lower support plate 10. A rotating shaft pin groove A24 is formed on the bottom surface of one side of the sealing upper support plate 9 along the plate thickness direction. The rotating shaft pin A32 is accommodated in the rotating shaft pin groove A24. The two ends of the rotating shaft pin A32 are fixed by rotating shaft pin A bolts 11 installed on the sealing upper support plate 9. A rotating shaft pin groove B42 is formed on the bottom surface of the other side of the sealing upper support plate 9 along the plate thickness direction. The rotating shaft pin B37 is accommodated in the rotating shaft pin groove B42. The two ends of the rotating shaft pin B37 are fixed by rotating shaft pin B bolts 14 installed on the sealing upper support plate 9. The upper sealing plate 9 has multiple upper sealing plate fixing bolt holes 22 around the sampling hole 25 in the circumferential direction, and multiple upper sealing plate rotation fixing bolt holes 23 on one side of the upper sealing plate 9. The lower sealing plate 10 has the same number of lower sealing plate fixing bolt holes 21 around the sampling hole 26 in the circumferential direction as the upper sealing plate fixing bolt holes 22, and on one side of the lower sealing plate 10 has the same number of lower sealing plate rotation fixing bolt holes 23, and corresponding lower sealing plate rotation fixing bolt holes 20. The upper sealing plate 9 and the lower sealing plate 10 are fixed together by bolts through the corresponding upper sealing plate fixing bolt holes 22, lower sealing plate fixing bolt holes 21, and corresponding upper sealing plate rotation fixing bolt holes 23 and lower sealing plate rotation fixing bolt holes 20. A silicone ring 27, which is fixed by compression, is provided between the lower surface of the upper sealing plate 9 and the upper surface of the lower sealing plate 10. The silicone ring 27 is fitted onto the top of the culture and fixation tank 17.
[0035] In this embodiment, a sealing rubber sheet 33 is installed on the upper edge 35 of the culture and fixation tank 17. Multiple film fixing holes 34 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the outer edge of the sealing rubber sheet 33. Bolt holes 40, corresponding to the number of film fixing holes 34, are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the upper edge 35 of the culture and fixation tank. The sealing rubber sheet 33 is fixed to the bolt holes 40 on the upper edge 35 of the culture and fixation tank by bolts passing through the film fixing holes 34. The inner side of the outer edge of the sealing rubber sheet 33 is divided into multiple petals along the circumferential direction; in this embodiment, it has eight petals. When the cover plate 2 is opened, the sealing rubber sheet 33 facilitates the exchange of liquids inside and outside the culture and fixation tank 17.
[0036] like Figures 1-8 As shown, in this embodiment, the concave opening of the concave groove 8 has rotating pin holes A28 on both sides for the rotating pin A32 to pass through. A concave groove fixing hole 29 is provided at the bottom of the concave groove 8. The concave groove 8 is fixed to the inner surface of the rear extension 7 of the cover plate by a fixing bolt 16 passing through the concave groove fixing hole 29. One side of the concave opening of the concave groove 8 is located in the torsion spring hole 30 on the upper sealing plate 9 and the lower sealing plate 10, and the other side of the concave opening of the concave groove 8 is located in the concave groove fixing groove 31 on the upper sealing plate 9 and the lower sealing plate 10. The rear extension 7 of the cover plate, the concave groove 8, the upper sealing plate 9, and the lower sealing plate 10 work together to complete the rotation action. The concave groove 8, utilizing the combined action of the torsion spring A and the rotating pin A32, possesses torsional kinetic energy to complete the rotation that opens the cover plate 2. The locking hook 12 utilizes the combined action of the torsion spring B36 and the rotating shaft pin B37 to possess torsional kinetic energy. The sealing plate 3 works in conjunction with the locking hook 12 when the sealing plate 2 is closed to complete the locking action. The float 39, through its pulling action, opens the pull rope 38 and the locking hook cable hole 13, ultimately causing the locking hook 12 to move back and forth, completing the opening and closing action.
[0037] like Figures 1-9 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end of the locking hook 36 is hook-shaped and has a locking hook cable hole 13 for connecting with the opening pull rope 38. The lower end of the locking hook 36 has two ears with a gap between them. Each ear has a through hole for the rotating shaft pin B37 to pass through. The torsion spring B36 is located between the two ears.
[0038] This utility model relates to a method for in-situ fixation and culture of large cold seep organisms, comprising the following steps:
[0039] Step A: Overall disassembly and cleaning of the shore-based end. The large-scale in-situ fixation and culture device for cold seeps is disassembled and then cleaned.
[0040] Step B: After cleaning, the components are assembled. In the initial state, the culture medium or fixative is stored in the culture and fixation tank 17. Press the cover plate 2 to rotate the concave tank 8. The cover plate 2 is closed by rotating the pivot pin A32. The upper end of the locking hook 12 hooks onto the cover plate 2 to complete the locking state. During the closing process of the cover plate 2, the liquid in the culture and fixation tank 17 will form a positive pressure state, and the pressure will be released through the external one-way valve 1.
[0041] Step C: The large-scale cold seep organism in-situ fixation and culture device is placed in the carrier of the underwater robot. The sealed base 19 has a set area size and is carried to the seabed by the underwater robot. During the carrying process, it may roll or collide. Due to the function of the locking hook 12, the liquid inside the culture and fixation tank 17 can be well protected and prevented from leaking.
[0042] Step D: After reaching the seabed, use the underwater robot's manipulator to lift the float 39, which will unlock the locking hook 12 by moving it back and forth. The torsion of the torsion spring A will open the cover plate 2. Use the live sampling device or the underwater robot's manipulator to grab the large creature. During the grabbing process, the live sampling device can protect the large creature well, but the underwater robot's manipulator will directly grab it and damage the shell or skin of the large creature, causing it to break.
[0043] Step E: Using a live sampling device or the robotic arm of an underwater robot, a large organism is placed through the eight-lobed sealing rubber 8 into a culture and fixation tank 17. The large organism is then immersed in the culture solution or fixation solution inside the culture and fixation tank 17 to cultivate or fix it.
[0044] Step F is repeated, followed by step E, to obtain multiple types of organisms. Then, the underwater robot's manipulator presses the cover plate 2, causing the concave groove 8 to rotate. The cover plate 2 is closed by rotating the pivot pin A32. The upper end of the locking hook 12 hooks onto the cover pressure plate 3 to complete the locking state. During the closing process of the cover plate 2, the water in the cultivation and fixing tank 17 will form a positive pressure state, which will be released through the external one-way valve 1.
[0045] Step G, the biological cultivation process, requires a long time; depending on the experimental needs, it is placed on the seabed for the experiment; the biological fixation process requires less time and can be brought back at an opportune time.
[0046] Step H involves using the robotic arm of an underwater robot to place the large-scale cold seep organism in-situ fixation and cultivation device into the robot's carrier. The sealed base 19 has a predetermined area size, and the device is carried to the deck position. During transport, it may roll or collide, but the locking hook 12 effectively protects the liquid inside the cultivation and fixation tank 17, preventing leakage.
[0047] Step 1: Use an underwater robot to bring back a large-scale in-situ fixation and culture device for cold seeps;
[0048] Step J: After recycling, manually open the sealing plate 2 to obtain the sample.
[0049] This invention enables in-situ culture of large organisms using a culture and fixation tank 17, followed by faithful transport after fixation with a fixative solution. The culture and fixation tank 17 is sealed and locked using a capping plate 2, a silicone ring 27, and a locking hook 12. In conjunction with an underwater robotic arm, a large organism sampler is used to obtain live organisms, which are then placed in the culture and fixation tank 17 for in-situ experiments. Alternatively, the robotic arm can be used to crush the large organisms, immerse them in the fixative solution within the culture and fixation tank 17, and then transport them to the deck for faithful transport.
