Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of strain culture technology, specifically a strain culture observation device. Background Technology

[0002] A strain (or virus strain or strain in non-cellular viruses) refers to the same species of bacteria isolated from specimens from different sources. It represents any pure genetic population and all its offspring formed by asexual reproduction from an independently isolated single cell (or a single virion). Therefore, each pure culture or pure isolate of a microorganism from different sources can be called a strain of a certain species.

[0003] In order to preliminarily identify the types and growth status of microorganisms, it is necessary to continuously observe the cultured strains. By observing the shape, size, color, edge and surface structure of the colonies, we can understand their growth patterns, nutritional requirements and metabolic characteristics.

[0004] During the culture of bacterial strains, it is generally necessary to set up multiple culture media as references. In the existing technology, in order to facilitate the observation and recording of multiple bacterial strains, multiple bacterial culture media are usually placed in the same incubator to ensure that the strains are at the same temperature. At this time, if there are too many bacterial culture media in the incubator, the situation of crowding will occur, making it impossible to observe the growth of the strains through the door. If the incubator is opened and the strains are taken out one by one for observation, the constant temperature of the incubator will be temporarily disrupted, causing changes in the growth environment of the strains, which in turn affects the accuracy of the observation and recording of bacterial strain culture.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This strain culture observation device embeds multiple sets of temperature-conducting boxes into a constant-temperature component, and then sets up a sealed box to form compartments. Multiple sets of culture media for reference are placed in different compartments, so that the temperature in different compartments is affected by the same constant-temperature component. This ensures that the strains are kept at the same temperature, avoids the strain culture media from crowding together, and when taking them out for detailed observation, only one compartment needs to be opened without affecting the strain culture in other compartments. This also avoids affecting the strains in other reference groups and improves the accuracy of strain culture observation records.

[0016] 2. This strain culture observation device sets the constant temperature component on the observation rack through the disassembly plate. When recording the growth of strains, it can be directly observed and recorded through the sealed box, which improves the convenience of strain culture observation. At the same time, it can be observed one by one without frequently taking out the culture medium, thus ensuring that the culture medium is kept in the predetermined temperature environment for a long time and reducing the impact on the culture medium during observation and recording.

[0017] 3. This strain cultivation and observation device, by setting a constant temperature component on the observation rack and filling the constant temperature component with liquid, forms a water bath mechanism in conjunction with the heating tube and the flow guiding mechanism, so that the temperature guiding box set on the constant temperature component is kept warm by the water bath, thereby making the temperature distribution more uniform and improving the constant temperature effect of the device.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6A strain culture observation device includes: an observation rack 1, a support 2 on the observation rack 1, a disassembly plate 3 inserted into the side of the support 2, a temperature-regulating component 4 installed on the disassembly plate 3, a flow guiding mechanism 5 installed inside the temperature-regulating component 4, a temperature-conducting box 8 embedded in the top of the temperature-regulating component 4, and the bottom of the temperature-conducting box 8 sinking into the interior of the temperature-regulating component 4, a sealed box 6 installed on the temperature-regulating component 4 along the periphery of the temperature-conducting box 8, and a heating tube 7 installed inside the temperature-regulating component 4.

[0027] The observation rack 1 includes a base plate 11, on which a vertical frame 12 is installed. A support 2 is fitted onto the vertical frame 12. A horizontal frame 13 is arranged on the vertical frame 12. A caster wheel 14 is installed at the bottom of the base plate 11. By setting the caster wheel 14, the constant temperature component 4 set on the observation rack 1 can be moved at will, which improves the convenience of moving the constant temperature component 4, thereby facilitating the comprehensive disinfection and dust removal in the strain culture room and increasing the cleanliness of the environment in which the strain is located during culture.

[0028] The support 2 includes a connecting frame 21, with a slide rail 22 on the side of the connecting frame 21. A rubber pad 23 is installed inside the slide rail 22. The end of the unloading plate 3 is slidably inserted into the slide rail 22. By setting the slide rail 22, the constant temperature component 4 is pulled out and placed on the observation frame 1 through the unloading plate 3. When the device needs cleaning and maintenance, the constant temperature component 4 can be directly removed and handled separately, which improves the convenience of cleaning and maintenance.

[0029] The unloading plate 3 includes a pull-out plate 31, and the thermostatic component 4 is installed on the pull-out plate 31. A through groove 32 is provided in the middle of the pull-out plate 31. The bottom structure of the thermostatic component 4 is convex and passes through the through groove 32. A slide bar 33 is provided on the side of the pull-out plate 31. The slide bar 33 is slidably inserted into the support 2. The unloading plate 3 is set as the base plate for the installation of the thermostatic component 4. The support 2 provides sliding and support capabilities for the unloading plate 3, so that the thermostatic component 4 can be pulled out and unloaded on the observation frame 1 along with the unloading plate 3.

[0030] The sealed box 6 includes a box cover 61 with an opening 62 for taking out and putting in. The opening 62 is covered with a sealing cover 63, which is rotatably mounted on the box cover 61. An observation window 64 is provided in the middle of the sealing cover 63. The box cover 61 is used to isolate the placed bacterial culture media in groups, and the sealing cover 63 can seal the grouped bacterial culture media, isolating the bacterial culture media from the outside air and reducing the influence of the external environment on the bacterial culture media. At the same time, the observation window 64 is made of transparent glass, so that the growth of the bacterial culture media can be observed and recorded at any time in the sealed box 6.

[0031] The top of the box cover 61 is sloping, and the sealing cover 63 covers the slope of the box cover 61. The sloping box cover 61 can tilt the observation window 64. When the sealed box 6 is set at a high position on the observation rack 1 along with the constant temperature component 4, the strain culture medium can be observed without obstruction through the observation window 64.

[0032] The constant temperature component 4 includes a liquid storage tank 41. A flow guiding cavity 42 is integrally formed by protruding outward at the center of the bottom of the liquid storage tank 41. A flow guiding baffle 43 is provided inside the liquid storage tank 41.

A top cover 45 is installed on the top of the liquid storage tank 41. The temperature conducting box 8 is embedded in the top cover 45. By setting the flow guiding baffle 43, a layered reflux space is formed inside the constant temperature component 4. When the liquid is filled and heated to a constant temperature, the liquid inside the constant temperature component 4 can be in a flowing state, which further improves the temperature uniformity of the temperature conducting box 8.

[0033] The flow guiding mechanism 5 includes a rotating shaft 51 rotatably installed inside the thermostatic component 4. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 51 passes through a mechanical seal and a motor is installed at the bottom of the thermostatic component 4. A limit pin 52 is integrally installed at the top end of the rotating shaft 51. An impeller 55 is inserted into the limit pin 52. A fan blade 54 is provided on the outer edge of the impeller 55. A flow rack 53 is installed on the internal structure of the thermostatic component 4. The impeller 55 is rotatably installed in the flow rack 53. By setting the flow guiding mechanism 5, a flow guiding force is added to the flow of liquid in the thermostatic component 4, so that the liquid in the thermostatic component 4 must pass through the heating tube 7 during the flow process, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the liquid temperature in the thermostatic component 4 and improving the thermostatic effect.

[0034] The working principle is as follows: When culturing the strain, the liquid in the constant temperature component 4 is first heated by the heating tube 7 according to the temperature required by the strain. At the same time, the flow guiding mechanism 5 is activated to keep the liquid flowing and ensure that the liquid circulates through the temperature guiding box 8 to maintain a constant temperature. Then, the sealed box 6 is opened, and the strain culture medium with the group settings is placed into the temperature guiding box 8 located in the sealed box 6 in sequence. Then the sealed box 6 is closed tightly. Afterwards, the growth of the strain culture medium in the temperature guiding box 8 is observed through the sealed box 6.
