Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microbial culture technology, and more specifically, to an integrated device for intelligent microbial culture and environmental monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated device for intelligent microbial culture and environmental monitoring is an advanced device that combines microbial culture technology with environmental monitoring technology. This device is commonly used in scientific research, environmental protection, food safety, and pharmaceutical development. It enables the efficient cultivation of specific microorganisms while simultaneously monitoring various parameters in their growth environment.

[0003] However, the microbial culture placement area cannot accommodate culture dishes of different sizes, which can easily cause the culture dishes to shift or shake during the culture process, affecting the effect of microbial culture. At the same time, the monitoring position cannot be flexibly adjusted when monitoring the microbial culture environment, which can lead to a limited monitoring range and an inability to fully cover different areas in the incubator, affecting the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the monitoring data.

[0004] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes an integrated device for intelligent microbial culture and environmental monitoring to overcome the aforementioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] The integrated device for intelligent microbial culture and environmental monitoring includes an incubator. The inner wall of the incubator is equipped with a placement mechanism, which includes a placement rack fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the incubator. The placement rack has equidistantly distributed mounting slots. One of the mounting slots has a placement plate on its inner wall. One end of the placement plate is engaged with one side of the inner wall of the mounting slot. Above the placement plate, there are equidistantly distributed mounting slots. The inner wall of the mounting slot has multiple limiting holes. A spring-loaded telescopic rod is fixed to the inner wall of the limiting holes. One end of the spring-loaded telescopic rod is equipped with a limiting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to better monitor the environment for culturing microorganisms, a monitoring mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the incubator. The monitoring mechanism includes multiple electric guide rails 1 set on one side of the inner wall of the incubator, electric guide rails 2 set on the multiple electric guide rails 1 via moving blocks 1, and multi-stage electric telescopic rods set on the electric guide rails 2 via moving blocks 2. A monitoring seat is set at one end of the multi-stage electric telescopic rods, and a monitoring camera and multiple monitoring sensors are respectively set below the monitoring seat.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to better restrict culture dishes of different sizes, one side of the restriction plate contacts the culture dish, and the bottom of the culture dish contacts the inner wall of the placement tank.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to better control the temperature and oxygen content of the cultured microorganisms, the incubator is equipped with equally spaced semiconductor cooling plates on both sides, and an air intake pump and an exhaust pump are respectively installed on both sides of the incubator near the semiconductor cooling plates.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to better filter impurities in the incoming gas, an installation cylinder is installed at one end of the air intake pump. A filter cover is threaded onto the inner wall of the installation cylinder, and a filter screen and a molecular sieve are installed on the inner wall of the filter cover.

[0012] Furthermore, to better improve the sealing of the incubator and facilitate timely understanding of the microbial culture data, a sealing door is hinged to one inner wall of the incubator, and a display screen is installed on one side of the sealing door.

[0013] Furthermore, to better assist in supporting and moving the incubator, multiple support columns are installed at the bottom of the incubator, and casters are installed at the bottom of the multiple support columns.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] (1) The placement mechanism set in the incubator is compatible with culture dishes of various sizes and specifications, which avoids displacement or shaking of the culture dishes due to size mismatch during the culture process. It effectively prevents the culture medium and microorganisms from being disturbed by the instability of the culture dishes, thereby ensuring that the microorganisms can grow in a stable environment and guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of microbial culture. At the same time, the monitoring mechanism set in the incubator can realize flexible position adjustment of the monitoring camera and multiple monitoring sensors, which can monitor different areas in the incubator in an all-round and blind-angle manner, capture the growth status of microorganisms in real time, and accurately obtain environmental parameters at different locations in the incubator. This greatly improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of monitoring data, provides researchers with richer and more accurate information on microbial growth, and facilitates timely adjustment of culture conditions and optimization of the microbial culture process.

[0016] (2) By using a semiconductor cooling chip in the incubator, the temperature sensitivity of different microorganisms can be adapted to ensure that the microorganisms grow in a stable temperature and humidity environment. At the same time, the mounting cylinder, filter cover, filter screen and molecular sieve in the air pump effectively prevent external impurities from entering the incubator, ensuring that the gas entering the incubator is pure and free of impurities, avoiding the interference of impurities on the microbial growth environment, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the microbial culture process.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] like Figures 1-6As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the integrated device for intelligent microbial culture and environmental monitoring includes a monitoring mechanism 3 on the inner wall of the incubator 1. The monitoring mechanism 3 includes two electric guide rails 301 on one side of the inner wall of the incubator 1, which are used to adjust the electric guide rail 302, the monitoring camera 305, and the monitoring sensor 306 by moving blocks.

[0032] Below the monitoring seat 304 are a monitoring camera 305 and two monitoring sensors 306. The monitoring camera 305 is used to observe the growth of microorganisms. The two monitoring sensors 306 are a temperature and humidity sensor and an oxygen sensor, respectively. The temperature and humidity sensor and the oxygen sensor can be replaced with other sensors according to the actual situation, or other environmental monitoring sensors can be added to monitor the temperature, humidity and oxygen content in the incubator 1.

[0033] The incubator 1 has eight semiconductor cooling pads 5 evenly distributed on both sides to control the temperature of the cultured microorganisms. The four semiconductor cooling pads 5 are arranged in groups of four on both sides of the incubator 1. The cooling end of four of the semiconductor cooling pads 5 is located inside the incubator 1, and the heating end of the semiconductor cooling pads 5 is located outside the incubator 1. The heating end of the semiconductor cooling pads 5 is equipped with a heat dissipation device (not shown in the figure) in actual use. The heat dissipation device is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The heating end of the other four semiconductor cooling pads 5 is located inside the incubator 1, and the cooling end of the semiconductor cooling pads 5 is located outside the incubator 1.

[0034] An air intake pump 6 and an exhaust pump 7 are respectively installed on both sides of the incubator 1 near the semiconductor cooling chip 5. These pumps are used to control the oxygen content of the microorganisms by controlling the intake and exhaust of air. An installation cylinder 8 is installed at one end of the air intake pump 6 for installing and replacing the filter cover 9. The filter cover 9 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the installation cylinder 8 for installing the filter screen 10 and the molecular sieve 11. The filter screen 10 and the molecular sieve 11 are integrated with the filter cover 9. The inner wall of the filter cover 9 is provided with the filter screen 10 and the molecular sieve 11 for filtering impurities and moisture in the gas.

[0035] The intake pump 6, exhaust pump 7, thermoelectric cooler 5, temperature and humidity sensor, oxygen sensor, monitoring camera 305, multi-stage electric telescopic rod 303, electric guide rail 2 302, electric guide rail 1 301, and display screen 13 are electrically connected to a controller (not shown in the figure) in actual use. The controller is a PLC (programmable logic controller) or a microcontroller. By writing a suitable control program, the electrical components are precisely controlled. The intake pump 6, exhaust pump 7, thermoelectric cooler 5, temperature and humidity sensor, oxygen sensor, monitoring camera 305, multi-stage electric telescopic rod 303, electric guide rail 2 302, electric guide rail 1 301, and display screen 13 are electrically connected to an external power supply.

The specific model and specifications need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device.

[0037] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0038] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, when in use, the staff moves the incubator 1 by passing the movable wheels 15 set at the bottom of the support column 14. After parking, the incubator 1 steps on the fixed pedal on the side of the movable wheel 15 and becomes a rigid support, eliminating vibration interference during the experiment. Then, the culture dish 4 that needs to be placed in the incubator 1 is placed in the placement slot of the placement plate 202. At the same time, the placement slot is equipped with a spring-loaded telescopic rod 203 and a limiting plate 204. The spring tension adaptively clamps the culture dishes 4 of different diameters. The limiting plate 204 presses the edge of the culture dish 4 laterally to ensure that it does not shift under vibration or airflow impact.

[0039] When the device is in place, the staff opens the sealed door 12, and then places the placement plate 202 containing the culture dish 4 into the mounting slot on the placement rack 201 according to the size of the culture dish 4 and snaps it in place. The installation position of the placement plate 202 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different experimental needs. After placement, the sealed door 12 is closed. During cultivation, the electric guide rail 1 301 drives the electric guide rail 2 302 and the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 303 to move up and down. At the same time, the electric guide rail 2 302 drives the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 303 to move left and right, which can realize the movement of the monitoring seat 304.

[0040] Meanwhile, the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 303 moves and adjusts the monitoring base 304 and the monitoring camera 305 and monitoring sensor 306 (temperature and humidity sensor, oxygen sensor) set on the monitoring base 304. The monitoring camera 305 can capture microscopic images of microorganisms in the culture dish 4, while the monitoring sensor 306 (temperature and humidity sensor, oxygen sensor) collects local environmental parameters in real time, eliminating monitoring blind spots.

[0041] When the temperature is low or high, the semiconductor cooling plates 5 set on both sides of the incubator 1 can not only cool down and heat up the incubator 1 to keep the incubator 1 at a constant temperature, but also, when the oxygen content in the incubator 1 is high, the air pump 6 introduces external gas into the incubator 1. The mounting cylinder 8 set on the air pump 6, as well as the filter cover 9, filter screen 10, and molecular sieve 11 connected by threads inside the mounting cylinder 8, can filter out large particles or impurities in the external gas and adsorb moisture and volatile organic compounds to ensure the cleanliness of the incoming air. The exhaust pump 7 and the air pump 6 operate in a preset ratio, and the air intake is adjusted by oxygen concentration feedback to maintain the concentration in the incubator 1 within an adjustable range.

[0042] The monitored data is displayed in real time on the display screen 13 set on the sealed door 12. The display screen shows the data of the monitoring sensor 306 (temperature and humidity sensor, oxygen sensor) and the monitoring camera 305, as well as the dynamic images and historical curves of microbial growth. It supports multi-touch operation. At the same time, the user can set the temperature / humidity / O2 threshold through the display screen 13, and the controller (PLC / microcontroller) will automatically generate control commands.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
