Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of microbial culture technology, and in particular relates to a microbial culture shaker. Background Technology

[0002] Microorganisms mainly include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and a few algae. They require specific environmental conditions for cultivation, using petri dishes or test tubes. Culture media are commonly used as a nutrient source during cultivation. Culture media are generally available in paste and liquid forms. Paste media are placed in specialized petri dishes, while liquid media are often cultured in test tubes. Microorganisms require relatively harsh environments during cultivation, therefore, the culture tubes or petri dishes need to be placed inside an incubator for observation and cultivation.

[0003] Comparing with Chinese Patent No. CN220766944U, the disclosed microbial culture horizontal shaking incubator includes an outer box, with mounting baffles fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer box, and sealing lids snapped onto the top left and right sides of the outer box. Secondary hinged connecting rods are movably connected to the outer left and right sides of the sealing lids, located outside the main hinged connecting rods, via bearings. A sample tube insertion seat is inserted into the upper part of the inner cavity of the outer box, and a fan-shaped plate is connected to the bottom end of each main hinged connecting rod.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patent can only be used for fixed culture in a single vessel, which cannot meet the requirements for culturing microorganisms in different vessels. Furthermore, the use of iron fixing racks makes them prone to breakage during handling. Therefore, a new device needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 A microbial culture shaker includes a main body for sealing and maintaining a constant temperature and for continuous observation of the culture, and a fixing mechanism installed within the main body for elastically fixing and supporting the shaking. Rotating mechanisms for rotation, extension, and rebound are symmetrically installed on both sides of the main body.

[0025] In this embodiment: the main structure includes a sealed box 101, two thermostats 102 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the sealed box 101, a box door 103 is installed on the front of the sealed box 101, a glass window 104 is provided on the box door 103, two fixing seats 105 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom of the sealed box 101, the thermostats 102 are bolted to the sealed box 101, and the fixing seats 105 are welded to the sealed box 101. Different shaped culture dishes are fixedly placed in the tray 301 by the elastic band 302. The box door 103 is closed and the thermostats 102 are opened. The working status can be observed through the glass window 104.

[0026] In this embodiment: the fixing mechanism includes a tray 301, with several elastic bands 302 evenly distributed longitudinally and transversely in the tray 301. Two sliding shafts 303 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the front end of the tray 301. Two bases 304 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the end of the tray 301 away from the sliding shafts 303. A swing frame 305 is installed at one end of the base 304. The tray 301 is made of 304 stainless steel. The sliding shafts 303 and the bases 304 are welded to the tray 301 respectively. The bases 304 and the swing frame 305 are connected by hinges. Next, the moving block 206 on the moving rod 205 drives the sliding shafts 303 on both sides of the front end of the tray 301 to slide up and down towards the rear end of the moving block 206 through the sliding groove 207. When the cam 202 rotates to a flat position, the spring body 204 releases its elastic force and rebounds the moving rod 205 to slide backward. The sliding shafts 303 on both sides of the front end of the tray 301 slide up and down towards the front end of the moving block 206, while simultaneously driving the base 304 and the swing frame 305 at the other end of the tray 301 to swing back and forth with the fixed seat 105 as the fixed point.

[0027] In this embodiment: the rotating mechanism includes a motor 201, a cam 202 is provided at one end of the motor 201, a spring frame 203 is provided on one side of the cam 202, a spring body 204 is installed in the spring frame 203, a moving rod 205 is provided inside the spring body 204, a moving block 206 is provided at one end of the moving rod 205, and a sliding groove 207 is provided on the moving block 206. The cam 202 is elliptical in shape, and the spring body 204 is made of 65Mn spring steel. The motor 201 drives the cam. 202 rotates and pushes the moving rod 205 in the spring frame 203 to compress the spring body 204 and move it forward. The moving block 206 on the moving rod 205 drives the sliding shafts 303 on both sides of the front end of the tray 301 to slide up and down towards the rear end of the moving block 206 through the sliding groove 207. When the cam 202 rotates to a flat position, the spring body 204 releases its elastic force and rebounds the moving rod 205 to slide backward. The sliding shafts 303 on both sides of the front end of the tray 301 slide up and down towards the front end of the moving block 206.

[0028] Working principle: Different shaped culture dishes are fixed in the sealed box 101 by the elastic band 302 in the tray 301. The box door 103 is closed and the thermostat 102 is turned on. Then, the motor 201 drives the cam 202 to rotate and push the moving rod 205 in the spring frame 203 to compress the spring body 204 to move forward. The moving block 206 on the moving rod 205 drives the sliding shafts 303 on both sides of the front end of the tray 301 to slide up and down to the rear end of the moving block 206 through the sliding groove 207. When the cam 202 rotates to a flat position, the spring body 204 releases the elastic force and rebounds the moving rod 205 to slide backward. The sliding shafts 303 on both sides of the front end of the tray 301 slide up and down to the front end of the moving block 206. At the same time, the base 304 and the swing frame 305 at the other end of the tray 301 swing back and forth with the fixed seat 105 as the fixed point. The working status can be observed through the glass window 104. The shaking table work of elastically fixing different dishes is completed.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
