Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial culture technology, specifically a microbial culture shaker. Background Technology
[0002] A microbial culture shaker is a device used to cultivate microorganisms. It provides stable and uniform vibration to the microorganisms, ensuring that the microorganisms in the culture receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients, thereby promoting their growth and reproduction. It is widely used in fields such as microbiology, biochemistry, and bioengineering.
[0003] In practical applications, microbial culture dishes often lack a fixed function. When they are placed in a shaker for shaking, the microorganisms in the dish are prone to splashing out, which may reduce the efficiency of the shaker in microbial culture.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a microbial culture shaker. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A microbial culture shaker according to this utility model includes an operating table; a workbench is installed on one side of the operating table, a culture chamber is opened in the middle of the workbench, a cover is provided on the top of the culture chamber, the cover is hinged to the workbench, a shaker assembly is installed in the middle of the culture chamber, multiple placement slots are opened on the top of the shaker assembly, and multiple silicone blocks are fixedly connected to the middle of the placement slots. During operation, the operating table is first started, the cover is opened to expose the culture chamber, and the culture dish is placed on the shaker assembly. During this process, the culture dish is inserted into the shaker assembly. Inside the placement tank, the soft and easily deformable silicone block compresses under the pressure of the culture dish, simultaneously exerting a reaction force on the dish, making it more secure within the tank. The control panel then closes the lid, and the shaker assembly begins operation, vibrating the culture dish. Once the shaker assembly completes its work, the control panel stops it, opens the lid, and the culture dish is pulled upwards from the placement tank. By using the silicone block, the friction between the silicone block and the culture dish is increased, helping the dish to hold more firmly within the tank and reducing the likelihood of it falling off during shaker operation.
[0007] Preferably, a suction cup is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement groove, and a moist sponge is fixedly connected to the middle of the suction cup. During operation, after the culture dish is placed in the placement groove, the bottom of the culture dish will contact the suction cup. When the culture dish is pressed down, the moist sponge will seep out water due to the pressure. The water acts on the suction cup, which will make the suction cup firmly adhere to the bottom of the culture dish, further achieving the effect of fixing the culture dish. By setting up the suction cup and the moist sponge, the bottom of the culture dish is fixed on the basis of the silicone block stabilizing the culture dish, further increasing the firmness of the culture dish in the placement groove.
[0008] Preferably, the moist sponge has a water bladder in the middle, which is fixedly connected to the suction cup. When in operation, the water bladder is squeezed and releases water, which is absorbed by the moist sponge. This keeps the moist sponge moist and further ensures that the suction cup can effectively fix the culture dish.
[0009] Preferably, an external air pipe is connected to one side of the workbench, and a gas guide pipe is connected to one end of the external air pipe. The gas guide pipe is fixedly connected to the workbench, and an air outlet is opened at the top of the gas guide pipe. During operation, the external air pipe is connected to hot air, and the temperature of the hot air can be adjusted according to the temperature required by the culture dish. The hot air enters the gas guide pipe through the external air pipe and then dissipates from the air outlet, acting on the interior of the culture chamber to provide the environmental conditions required by the culture dish on the shaker assembly, which is more conducive to the cultivation of microorganisms in the culture dish.
[0010] Preferably, the shaker assembly has an exhaust pipe on one side, which is connected to the worktable. A bracket is fixedly connected to one end of the exhaust pipe, and a spring is fixedly connected to the middle of the bracket. An elastic ball is fixedly connected to one end of the spring, and the elastic ball corresponds to the exhaust pipe. During operation, hot air fills the culture chamber, which compresses the cold air in the culture chamber. The cold air is discharged from the exhaust pipe. When the air pressure in the culture chamber rises, the airflow pushes the elastic ball to open, at which point the spring is stretched. When the air pressure in the culture chamber stabilizes, the spring drives the elastic ball to return to its original position, and the elastic ball blocks the exhaust pipe port to prevent the hot air in the culture chamber from escaping.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the cover is provided with a sealing ring, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the culture chamber. During operation, the sealing ring fills the gap between the culture chamber and the water bladder, reducing heat loss from the culture chamber and ensuring the airtightness of the culture chamber.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. The microbial culture shaker of this utility model, by setting a silicone block, can increase the friction between the silicone block and the culture dish, help the culture dish to be more firmly stuck in the placement groove, and reduce the phenomenon of the culture dish falling off when the shaker assembly is operating.
[0014] 2. The microbial culture shaker described in this utility model, by setting suction cups and moist sponges, and on the basis of the silicone block stabilizing the culture dish, fixes the bottom of the culture dish, further increasing the stability of the culture dish in the placement tank.

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a microbial culture shaker includes an operating table 1; a workbench 11 is installed on one side of the operating table 1, a culture chamber 12 is formed in the middle of the workbench 11, a cover 13 is provided on the top of the culture chamber 12, the cover 13 is hinged to the workbench 11, a shaker assembly 14 is installed in the middle of the culture chamber 12, a plurality of placement slots 15 are formed on the top of the shaker assembly 14, and a plurality of silicone blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the middle of the placement slots 15. During operation, the operating table 1 is first started, the cover 13 is opened to expose the culture chamber 12, and the culture dish is placed on the shaker assembly 14. During this process, the culture dish is inserted into the placement slot on the shaker assembly 14. Inside the placement groove 15, the silicone block 16 is soft and easily deformable. Under the pressure of the culture dish, the silicone block 16 is compressed and exerts a reaction force on the culture dish, making the culture dish more secure in the placement groove 15. Then, the control panel 1 controls the lid 13 to close, and then the shaker assembly 14 starts to operate, causing the culture dish to vibrate. After the shaker assembly 14 finishes its work, the control panel 1 stops the shaker assembly 14 and opens the lid 13, and the culture dish can be pulled upwards out of the placement groove 15. By setting the silicone block 16, the silicone block 16 can increase the friction between the silicone block 16 and the culture dish, helping the culture dish to be stuck more firmly in the placement groove 15, reducing the phenomenon of the culture dish falling off when the shaker assembly 14 is operating.
[0024] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a suction cup 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement groove 15, and a moist sponge 21 is fixedly connected to the middle of the suction cup 2. During operation, after the culture dish is placed in the placement groove 15, the bottom of the culture dish will contact the suction cup 2. When the culture dish is pressed down, the moist sponge 21 will seep out water due to the pressure. The water acts on the suction cup 2, which will make the suction cup 2 firmly adhere to the bottom of the culture dish, further achieving the effect of fixing the culture dish. By setting the suction cup 2 and the moist sponge 21, the bottom of the culture dish is fixed on the basis of the silicone block 16 stabilizing the culture dish, further increasing the firmness of the culture dish in the placement groove 15.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the moist sponge 21 has a water bladder 3 in the middle. The water bladder 3 is fixedly connected to the suction cup 2. When working, the water bladder 3 will release water when squeezed. The water is absorbed by the moist sponge 21, which can keep the moist sponge 21 in a moist state and further ensure that the suction cup 2 continues to be effective in fixing the culture dish.
[0026] like Figure 2As shown, an external air pipe 4 is connected to one side of the workbench 11, and an air guide pipe 41 is connected to one end of the external air pipe 4. The air guide pipe 41 is fixedly connected to the workbench 11, and an air outlet 42 is opened at the top of the air guide pipe 41. During operation, the external air pipe 4 is connected to hot air, and the temperature of the hot air can be adjusted according to the temperature required by the culture dish. The hot air enters the air guide pipe 41 through the external air pipe 4, and then dissipates from the air outlet 42, acting on the inside of the culture chamber 12 to provide the environmental conditions required by the culture dish on the shaker assembly 14, which is more conducive to the cultivation of microorganisms in the culture dish.
[0027] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the shaker assembly 14 has an exhaust pipe 5 on one side, which is connected to the worktable 11. A bracket 51 is fixedly connected to one end of the exhaust pipe 5, and a spring 52 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bracket 51. An elastic ball 53 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 52. The elastic ball 53 corresponds to the exhaust pipe 5. During operation, hot air fills the culture chamber 12, which will compress the cold air in the culture chamber 12. The cold air is discharged from the exhaust pipe 5. When the air pressure in the culture chamber 12 rises, the airflow will push the elastic ball 53 to open. At this time, the spring 52 is stretched. When the air pressure in the culture chamber 12 stabilizes, the spring 52 drives the elastic ball 53 to return to its original position. The elastic ball 53 blocks the end of the exhaust pipe 5 to prevent the hot air in the culture chamber 12 from escaping.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the bottom of the cover 13 is provided with a sealing ring 6, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the culture chamber 12. During operation, the sealing ring 6 fills the gap between the culture chamber 12 and the water bag 3, reducing the loss of heat in the culture chamber 12 and ensuring the airtightness of the culture chamber 12.
[0029] Working principle: First, start the operating table 1, open the cover 13 to expose the culture chamber 12, and place the culture dish on the shaker assembly 14. During this process, insert the culture dish into the placement groove 15 on the shaker assembly 14. The silicone block 16 is soft and easily deformable. Under the pressure of the culture dish, the silicone block 16 is compressed, and at the same time, it applies a reaction force to the culture dish, making the culture dish more secure in the placement groove 15. Then, the operating table 1 controls the cover 13 to close, and then the shaker assembly 14 starts to operate, causing the culture dish to vibrate. After the shaker assembly 14 completes its work, the operating table 1 stops the shaker assembly 14 and opens it. The cover 13 allows the culture dish to be pulled upwards out of the placement slot 15. The silicone block 16 increases friction between the culture dish and the placement slot 15, helping to secure the dish more firmly and reducing the risk of it falling off during the operation of the shaker assembly 14. After the culture dish is placed in the placement slot 15, its bottom contacts the suction cup 2. Pressing the culture dish downwards causes the moist sponge 21 to release moisture, which acts on the suction cup 2, firmly adhering to the bottom of the culture dish and further securing it. The combination of the suction cup 2 and the moist sponge 21... Based on the silicone block 16 stabilizing the culture dish, the bottom of the culture dish is fixed to further increase its stability within the placement tank 15. The water bladder 3 releases water when squeezed, which is absorbed by the moistened sponge 21, keeping it constantly moist and ensuring the suction cup 2's continued effective fixation of the culture dish. The external air pipe 4 connects to hot air, the temperature of which can be adjusted according to the required temperature of the culture dish. The hot air enters the air guide pipe 41 through the external air pipe 4 and then exits from the air outlet 42, acting inside the culture chamber 12 to provide the culture dish on the shaker assembly 14 with the necessary temperature. The required environmental conditions are more conducive to the cultivation of microorganisms in the petri dish. Hot air fills the culture chamber 12, which will squeeze out the cold air in the culture chamber 12. The cold air is discharged from the exhaust pipe 5. When the air pressure in the culture chamber 12 rises, the airflow will push the elastic ball 53 to open. At this time, the spring 52 is stretched. When the air pressure in the culture chamber 12 stabilizes, the spring 52 drives the elastic ball 53 to return to its original position. The elastic ball 53 blocks the port of the exhaust pipe 5 to prevent the hot air in the culture chamber 12 from escaping. The sealing ring 6 fills the gap between the culture chamber 12 and the water bladder 3 to reduce the loss of hot air in the culture chamber 12 and ensure the airtightness of the culture chamber 12.
