[0002] Microbial culture strains refer to pure cultures of microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses) used in scientific research, industrial production, or medical testing. These strains have undergone isolation, identification, and standardized preservation, possessing clearly defined genetic characteristics and application functions. They are fundamental materials for microbial experiments, fermentation engineering, and clinical diagnosis. Furthermore, microbial culture strains typically require storage in internal storage devices.

[0003] In existing technologies, most microbial strains require low-temperature or ultra-low-temperature storage during the storage process. However, some special microorganisms (such as thermophilic bacteria, some spore-forming bacteria, or microorganisms in extreme environments) require high-temperature storage to maintain their activity or stability. Existing storage devices use heating lamps to regulate the temperature, but the heat radiation from the heating lamps is uneven, which cannot ensure that all the stored microbial strains are heated, thus affecting the storage effect of the microbial strains.

[0011] This utility model provides a microbial culture strain storage device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] (1) By setting up a heat-conducting plate, circulation pipe, heat dissipation fins, water tank, water pump, diversion pipe, return pipe, electric heater, electric heating pipe and temperature sensor, the water inside the water tank is heated by the electric heater and electric heating pipe, the temperature sensor detects the water temperature, and when the temperature is suitable, the water pump draws out the hot water and delivers it to the inside of each circulation pipe through the diversion pipe. The hot water flows through the inside of the circulation pipe and returns to the inside of the water tank through the return pipe. The hot water circulates inside the circulation pipe, thereby conducting heat through the heat-conducting plate and dissipating heat to the inside of the storage frame in combination with the heat dissipation fins, so as to achieve the effect of comprehensive heating of the microbial strains stored inside the storage frame.

[0013] (2) By using the pull plate, slide bar, insert bar, spring and insertion hole, when it is necessary to take out the storage box on the lower left side of the heat conduction plate, pull the pull plate outward to drive the slide bar and insert bar to slide out of the inside of the connecting block, and then rotate 90 degrees to the right and insert the insert bar into the insertion hole on the right side.

The diversion pipe 202 connects to the inlet of the multiple circulation pipes 102, causing the water pump 201 to pump water into the diversion pipe 202, thus diverting the water to the inside of the multiple circulation pipes 102. A return pipe 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outlet of the multiple circulation pipes 102, and its end is fixedly connected to... Inside water tank 2, water from multiple circulation pipes 102 is guided to the inside of water tank 2 via return pipe 203, achieving water recycling.

[0024] Example 2:

[0025] Depend on Figures 5-6As shown, this utility model provides a microbial culture strain storage device. Two storage frames 3 are slidably connected inside each heat-conducting plate 101. Locking strips 301 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of each storage frame 3, and are slidably connected inside the heat-conducting plate 101. The locking strips 301 limit the sliding motion inside the heat-conducting plate 101. The storage frames 3 are positioned below heat dissipation fins 104, which dissipate the temperature of the heat-conducting plate 101 to the interior of the storage frames 3. A connecting block 302 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each storage frame 3. A groove 303 is provided inside the storage frame 3, allowing for easy removal of the storage frame 3 by placing a hand inside the groove 303. A latching assembly 4 is installed inside the storage frames 3 and the heat-conducting plate 101. The latching assembly 4 includes a pull plate 401, and a sliding rod 402 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the pull plate 401. 02 is movably connected inside the heat-conducting plate 101. The slide rod 402 is limited to move inside the heat-conducting plate 101. Two insert rods 403 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pull plate 401. The two insert rods 403 are set below the slide rod 402. A partition is set in the middle of the lower surface of the heat-conducting plate 101. The insert rods 403 are slidably connected inside the connecting block 302 and the partition. The two insert rods 403 are respectively stuck inside the connecting block 302 fixed to the outer wall of the left and right storage frames 3, limiting and fixing the connecting block 302 to the partition below the heat-conducting plate 101. The outer wall of the connecting block 302 and the partition are in contact. A spring 404 is sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod 402. One end of the spring 404 is fixedly connected to the inside of the slide rod 402, and the other end is in contact with the inside of the heat-conducting plate 101. Two insertion holes 105 are opened on both sides of the inside of the heat-conducting plate 101.

[0026] Working principle: During the use of the storage device, the microbial strains requiring high-temperature storage are placed inside the container and then placed in each storage frame 3. Pulling the pull plate 401 outwards causes the sliding rod 402 and insertion rod 403 to slide outwards and rotate 90 degrees to the left, placing the insertion rod 403 inside the left insertion hole 105 of the heat-conducting plate 101. Then, the retaining strip 301 above the storage frame 3 containing the microbial strains is aligned with the right side of the heat-conducting plate 101 and slid in. Pulling the pull plate 401 outwards causes the insertion rod 403 to slide out of the left insertion hole 105. The pull plate 401 is then rotated 180 degrees, and the insertion rod is then inserted... Rod 403 is inserted into the right-side insertion hole 105 inside the heat-conducting plate 101. Then, the clip 301 above the storage box 3 containing microbial inoculants is aligned with the left side of the heat-conducting plate 101 and slid in. At this time, the connecting blocks 302 fixed to the outer walls of the storage boxes 3 on both sides below the heat-conducting plate 101 are in contact with the outer walls of the partition fixed below the heat-conducting plate 101. Pulling the pull plate 401 moves the sliding rod 402 and the insertion rod 403 outward, causing the insertion rod 403 to slide out of the right-side insertion hole 105. Then, rotate it ninety degrees to align the insertion rod 403 with the inside of the two connecting blocks 302. Release the pull plate 401, causing the spring 404 to move the sliding rod. 402 is reset, which in turn drives the pull plate 401 and the insertion rod 403 to reset, causing the insertion rod 403 to slide into the interior of the two connecting blocks 302 and the partition below the heat-conducting plate 101, thus limiting and fixing the two storage frames 3 to the left and right sides below the heat-conducting plate 101 respectively. In this way, all the storage frames 3 are installed under the multiple heat-conducting plates 101. Then, the sealing plug 208 is opened, and water is injected into the water tank 2 through the water injection pipe 207. After the water is injected, the sealing plug 208 is threaded into the interior of the water injection pipe 207 to seal the water injection pipe 207. The electric heater 204 and the electric heating tube 205 are then activated to heat the water inside the water tank 2. Heating is performed by detecting the water temperature through temperature sensor 206. Once the water temperature reaches the storage temperature condition for microbial strains, water pump 201 is started to extract hot water and distribute it through diversion pipe 202 to the circulation pipe 102 above each heat conduction plate 101. The hot water flows inside the circulation pipe 102 and the heat is conducted by the heat conduction plate 101 to the heat dissipation fins 104. The heat is then dissipated to the inside of the storage frame 3 through the heat dissipation fins 104, thereby raising the temperature inside the storage frame 3, which is conducive to the storage of microbial strains. After the hot water flows inside the circulation pipe 102, it returns to the inside of the water tank 2 through return pipe 203, realizing the effect of water recycling.When it is necessary to remove the microbial culture from one of the storage boxes 3, such as the storage box 3 on the left side below the heat-conducting plate 101, pull the pull plate 401 outward to cause the slide rod 402 and the insertion rod 403 to slide. The two insertion rods 403 slide out of the interior of the two connecting blocks 302. Then, rotate the pull plate 401 ninety degrees to the right to align the two insertion rods 403 with the right-side insertion hole 105 inside the heat-conducting plate 101. Release the pull plate 401, and use the spring 404 to drive the slide rod 402, pull plate 401, and insertion rod 403 to reset, causing the insertion rod 403 to engage inside the right-side insertion hole 105. Then, pull the left storage box. 3. To remove the heat-conducting plate 101, move it outwards. To remove the storage frame 3 on the lower right side of the heat-conducting plate 101, pull the pull plate 401 outwards to slide the slide rod 402 and the insertion rod 403. The insertion rod 403 will slide out of the connecting block 302. Rotate the pull plate 401 90 degrees to the left to align the insertion rod 403 with the insertion hole 105 on the left side of the heat-conducting plate 101. Then release the pull plate 401, causing the spring 404 to reset the slide rod 402, pull plate 401, and insertion rod 403, allowing the insertion rod 403 to slide into the left insertion hole 105. Finally, pull the storage frame 3 on the lower right side of the heat-conducting plate 101 outwards to remove it.
