Detailed Implementation
[0021] 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.
[0022] Example: Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a hot spring algae bioreactor, including a bottom plate 1, a transparent culture tank 14 above the bottom plate 1, and sensors for temperature, pH, and oxygen concentration inside the transparent culture tank 14 for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the culture environment. The sensors then feed back signals to a controller, which adjusts the environmental parameters to maintain optimal growth conditions. A fixing box 2 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the bottom plate 1, and a second motor 21 is installed on one side of the fixing box 2. A first bevel gear 22 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second motor 21. A rotating rod 23 is rotatably inserted inside the fixing box 2 and fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the transparent culture tank 14. A second bevel gear 24 and a third bevel gear 25 are respectively fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the rotating rod 23. The first bevel gear 22 can mesh with the outer surfaces of the second bevel gear 24 and the third bevel gear 25. A groove 101 is formed inside the bottom plate 1, and a rotating ring 12 is rotatably mounted inside the groove 101. The top surface of the rotating ring 12 is fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 1. A support rod 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the transparent culture tank 14. A limiting ring 11 is fixedly installed inside the bottom plate 1. A rotating ring 12 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the limiting ring 11. By turning on the second motor 21, the first bevel gear 22 is rotated. When the first bevel gear 22 meshes with the second bevel gear 24, the second bevel gear 24 drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the transparent culture tank 14 to rotate. Then, when the first bevel gear 22 disengages from the second bevel gear 24, it meshes with the third bevel gear 25, which drives the rotating rod 23 to reverse, which in turn drives the transparent culture tank 14 to reverse. When the stirring rod 17 stirs the raw materials and water, the water source will not generate vortices, so that the hot spring algae are evenly distributed in the water and can fully receive light, thus increasing the yield of hot spring algae (the teeth on the surface of the first bevel gear 22 are one-quarter of those of the second bevel gear 24 and the third bevel gear 25).
[0023] A lug plate 3 is fixedly provided on the top surface of the transparent culture tank 14. An electric push rod 31 is installed on one side of the lug plate 3. A piston 33 is fixedly provided at the output end of the electric push rod 31. A delivery pipe 32 is fixedly provided on the top surface of the transparent culture tank 14, and the delivery pipe 32 is interconnected with the transparent culture tank 14. A one-way valve 34 is installed on the outer surface of the delivery pipe 32. The piston 33 is slidably disposed in the delivery pipe 32. A vent pipe 35 is fixedly inserted in the delivery pipe 32. A through groove 351 is opened on the outer surface of the vent pipe 35. A fixing ring 37 is fixedly provided in the vent pipe 35. A limiting rod 38 slides through the fixing ring 37. A sealing plate 36 is fixedly provided on one side of the limiting rod 38. A spring 39 is fixedly connected between the sealing plate 36 and the fixing ring 37.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, by opening the electric push rod 31, the piston 33 is pulled to slide inside the delivery pipe 32. Under the action of the air pressure inside the delivery pipe 32, the sealing plate 36 is moved towards the fixing ring 37, and the spring 39 is deformed. At this time, the inner wall of the vent pipe 35 is connected to the through groove 351, so that external air enters from the vent pipe 35, then enters from the through groove 351, and passes through the fixing ring 37. Then, the electric push rod 31 is opened again, pushing the piston 33 to slide inside the delivery pipe 32, so that the spring 39 is reset, and the sealing plate 36 is located on one side of the through groove 351, and the vent pipe 35 is sealed. So that air can enter the transparent culture tank 14 from the delivery pipe 32, so that sufficient air can be provided to promote the growth of hot spring algae (when the air is delivered, the one-way valve 34 is in the open state).
[0025] A first motor 15 is installed on the top surface of the transparent culture tank 14. A rotating shaft 16 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 15. A stirring rod 17 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 16. An inlet 18 and an exhaust pipe 19 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the transparent culture tank 14. A fixing frame 4 is symmetrically installed on the top surface of the bottom plate 1. A light lamp 41 is fixedly installed inside the fixing frame 4.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor 15 is turned on, which causes the rotating shaft 16 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring rod 17 to rotate, so that it can stir the hot spring algae and promote its full integration with water. Then, the light lamp 41 is turned on, so that the hot spring algae in the transparent culture tank 14 can be treated with light. The outer surface of the exhaust pipe 19 is equipped with a shut-off valve. By opening the shut-off valve, when the gas pressure inside the transparent culture tank 14 is too high, the exhaust pipe 19 will discharge gas to relieve pressure.
[0027] Working principle: First, water and hot spring algae are placed into the transparent culture tank 14 through the feed inlet 18. Then, the feed inlet 18 is sealed. Next, the first motor 15 is turned on, causing the rotating shaft 16 to rotate, which in turn causes the stirring rod 17 to rotate, thus stirring the hot spring algae and promoting its full integration with the water. At the same time, the second motor 21 is turned on, causing the first bevel gear 22 to rotate. When the first bevel gear 22 meshes with the second bevel gear 24, the second bevel gear 24 drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate. The transparent culture tank 14 rotates, and then when the first bevel gear 22 disengages from the second bevel gear 24, it meshes with the third bevel gear 25, thereby causing the third bevel gear 25 to drive the rotating rod 23 to reverse, which in turn causes the rotating rod 23 to drive the transparent culture tank 14 to reverse. When the stirring rod 17 stirs the raw materials and water, the water source will not generate vortices, so that the hot spring algae are evenly distributed in the water and can fully receive light, thus increasing the yield of hot spring algae. Then the light lamp 41 is turned on, so that the hot spring algae in the transparent culture tank 14 can be treated with light.
[0028] When air needs to be injected, the electric push rod 31 is activated, pulling the piston 33 to slide inside the delivery pipe 32. Under the action of the air pressure inside the delivery pipe 32, the sealing plate 36 is moved towards the fixing ring 37, and the spring 39 is deformed. At this time, the inner wall of the vent pipe 35 is connected to the through groove 351, allowing external air to enter from the vent pipe 35, then from the through groove 351, and through the fixing ring 37. Then, the electric push rod 31 is activated again, pushing the piston 33 to slide inside the delivery pipe 32, thereby resetting the spring 39. This causes the sealing plate 36 to be located on one side of the through groove 351, sealing the vent pipe 35. As a result, air can enter the transparent culture tank 14 from the delivery pipe 32, providing sufficient air to promote the growth of hot spring algae.
