Abstract
Description
A quantitative collection device for phytoplankton in turbid water. Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of biological collection technology, and more specifically, it relates to a device for quantitative collection of phytoplankton in turbid water. Background Technology
[0002] Phytoplankton refers to tiny plants that live in water and float on the surface. Water quality analysis sometimes involves collecting phytoplankton for analysis, which helps inform the overall water quality results. Currently, phytoplankton collection mainly uses manual methods such as handheld nets or funnel containers moved in the water, followed by sedimentation and filtration. However, due to water turbidity, the presence of sediment and other impurities, and the time-consuming, tedious, and inefficient process, it is difficult to effectively filter and separate plankton, significantly impacting the efficiency of phytoplankton research. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a device for quantitatively collecting phytoplankton in turbid water, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for quantitative collection of phytoplankton in turbid water, comprising a liquid container 1, a fixedly connected mounting frame 2 inside the liquid container 1, a centrifugal filter 3 on the mounting frame 2, a detachably connected filter screen 4 inside the centrifugal filter 3, and a flow guide baffle 15 at the bottom of the centrifugal filter 3. A filter assembly 5 is located below the liquid container 1, comprising a support frame 51 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the liquid container 1 below the mounting frame 2, a detachable pressure plate 52 on the support frame 51, and an ultrafiltration membrane 53 located between the detachable pressure plate and the support frame 51. A water storage tank 6 connected to the bottom of the liquid container 1 is located below the filter assembly 5, and a switch control valve 7 is located at the bottom of the water storage tank 6. A collection container 8 connected to the side wall of the water storage tank 6 via a guide pipe is located. A peristaltic pump 9 is located between the water storage tank 6 and the collection container 8. A fixedly connected placement rack 10 is located inside the collection container 8, and a Lugo reagent container 11 is placed on the placement rack 10. A protective cover 12 is located on the surface of the placement rack 10 outside the Lugo reagent container 11.
[0022] The bottom of the water storage tank 6 and the collection container 8 are provided with a fixed support base 14, and the surfaces of the liquid container 1, the water storage tank 6 and the collection container 8 are all provided with transparent observation plates 13.
[0023] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: The liquid collected by the collector is easily placed into the liquid container 1. The centrifugal filter 3 located inside the liquid container 1 uses the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to throw denser solid particles (such as silt and pebbles) against the container wall and cause them to settle, while the purified water flows out from the center, effectively removing impurities and solid particles from the liquid. Furthermore, the internal filter screen 4 can be disassembled and replaced for easy cleaning. The filtered liquid then passes through the ultrafiltration membrane 53 below for further filtration, which can further filter out smaller particles and impurities in the water and ensure that phytoplankton can pass smoothly into the reservoir. The sample is placed in water tank 6 and allowed to stand for a period of time. The remaining sediment and impurities that cannot be filtered out are deposited at the bottom of water tank 6. The liquid containing phytoplankton is located above the sediment and impurities. Then, the control valve 7 is opened, and the sediment and impurities at the bottom are discharged first by gravity. The liquid containing phytoplankton is left in water tank 6. Then, the peristaltic pump 9 located between water tank 6 and collection container 8 is started to draw the liquid into collection container 8. The sample is then fixed and preserved by Lugo reagent in Lugo reagent container 11, so that it is stable under laboratory conditions and facilitates subsequent microscopic examination and counting.
