[0031] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides an automatic detection device for a bacterial and algal cultivation system, including a cultivation tank 6, a rotating mechanism 1, an electric push rod 2, a fixed crossbar 3, a vertical rod 4, and a detection module 5;

[0033] The cultivation tanks 6 are arranged in four groups in a matrix.

[0034] The rotating mechanism 1 is located at the center of the four sets of cultivation tanks 6;

[0035] The electric push rod 2 is connected to the rotating end of the rotating mechanism 1;

[0036] One end of the fixed crossbar 3 is connected to the piston rod of the electric push rod 2, and the other end of the fixed crossbar 3 is connected to the upright rod 4;

[0037] One end of the bottom of the upright 4 is connected to the detection module 5;

[0038] During operation, the rotating mechanism 1 rotates the upright 4 to the designated cultivation tank 6. If it is an algae cultivation tank 62, the electric push rod 2 descends to the set descent height. The telescopic end drives the upright 4 to descend to the designated height through the fixed crossbar 3. At this time, the detection module 5 located at the lower end of the upright 4 starts to work. If it is a fungal cultivation tank 61, the corresponding numbered opening motor opens the sealing cover, and then the electric push rod 2 descends again. After the operation is completed, the electric push rod 2 rises, driving the detection module 5 to rise. If it is an algae cultivation tank 62, the operation ends. If it is a fungal cultivation tank 61, the opening motor closes the sealing cover, and the operation ends.

[0039] The detection module 5 in this application only enters the tank or is below the liquid surface when it is working, which extends the sensor's lifespan.

[0040] In this embodiment, the detection module 5 includes two sets of sensor modules. One set of sensor modules integrates a temperature sensor, a pH sensor, a dissolved oxygen sensor, and a light sensor. The other set of sensor modules is a high-precision optical sensor that uses a multispectral imaging probe and integrates a chlorophyll fluorescence detection module and a turbidity detection module.

[0041] In this embodiment, two sets of cultivation tanks 6 are algae cultivation tanks 62, and the other two sets of cultivation tanks 6 are fungal cultivation tanks 61. The algae cultivation tanks 62 are open at the top, and the fungal cultivation tanks 61 are provided with a top cover. The top cover has a detection hole corresponding to the detection module 5. A sealing cover is installed on the detection hole. The sealing cover is connected to a cover-opening motor, and the opening and closing of the sealing cover is controlled by the cover-opening motor.

[0042] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 1 includes a drive motor and a reducer, and the drive motor is connected to the electric push rod 2 through the reducer.

[0043] In this embodiment, a heating pipe 8 is installed inside the cultivation tank 6. The heating pipe 8 is located inside the cultivation tank 6 and has a hot water inlet and a hot water outlet at the part extending out of the cultivation tank 6. By setting the heating pipe 8, the temperature of the culture medium can be maintained in a range suitable for the growth and reproduction of bacteria and algae, thereby ensuring that bacteria and algae are cultivated at a suitable temperature.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cultivation tank 6 is equipped with a stirring mechanism 7, which is used to stir the inside of the cultivation tank 6 and to fully stir the bacteria and algae, so that the bacteria and algae are mixed more evenly and avoid settling to the bottom; at the same time, it also further ensures that the bacteria and algae can be fully and evenly irradiated with suitable light.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] The rotating mechanism 1 rotates the upright 4 to the designated cultivation tank 6. If it is an algae cultivation tank 62, the electric push rod 2 descends to the set descent height. The telescopic end drives the upright 4 to descend to the designated height through the fixed crossbar 3. At this time, the detection module 5 located at the lower end of the upright 4 starts to work. If it is a fungal cultivation tank 61, the corresponding numbered opening motor opens the sealing cover, and then the electric push rod 2 descends again. After the work is completed, the electric push rod 2 rises, driving the detection module 5 to rise. If it is an algae cultivation tank 62, the work is completed. If it is a fungal cultivation tank 61, the opening motor closes the sealing cover, and the work is completed.

[0047] The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0048] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.

[0049] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
