Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microbial culture instruments, and more specifically, to a microbial culture instrument that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Microorganisms are cultured using culture instruments. Patent publication number CN219156858U discloses a microbial culture instrument, including a housing. Two sets of plugs are threaded onto both sides of the housing. A support plate is installed inside the housing, and multiple sets of culture tubes are equidistantly installed inside the support plate. Rotation and fastening mechanisms are provided at both ends of the support plate for rotating and fixing it. Multiple flow-guiding and cleaning mechanisms are equidistantly arranged on the top of the housing for guiding the culture medium into the culture tubes and cleaning the culture tubes. This microbial culture instrument has the advantages of having multiple sets of culture tubes, greatly increasing the number of microorganisms that can be cultured, and facilitating the cleaning of the culture tubes. It solves the problems of commonly used culture equipment, which only has one culture dish inside the incubator, limiting the number of microorganisms that can be cultured at one time, and making it inconvenient to clean the incubator after cultivation.

[0003] In existing technologies, the number of culture tubes is increased to increase the number of cultured microorganisms and to clean the culture device. However, the cleaning process often requires pressing a brush to clean each tube individually. Therefore, when there are many tubes to clean, they must be cleaned one by one, which reduces the overall cleaning efficiency of the device. Furthermore, the repeated cleaning increases the workload of the user and further reduces the practicality of the device. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Please see Figures 1-5 A microbial culture instrument that is easy to clean includes a box body 1, a culture tube 2 placed inside the box body 1, a top plate 3 fixedly installed at the top of the box body 1, a moving device 4 slidably installed on the top surface of the top plate 3, a cleaning component 6 movably sleeved in the middle of the top surface of the top plate 3, and a selection device 5 fixedly installed on the top surface of the top plate 3 opposite to the moving device 4.

[0033] It should be noted that the box 1 in this application is the same component in the prior art document. Therefore, the clamping mechanism for the culture tube 2 and the corresponding drainage mechanism inside it are both prior art. Therefore, this application will not elaborate on them.

[0034] The cleaning assembly 6 includes a transmission gear 601, with a connecting column 605 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the transmission gear 601. A support ring groove 602 is formed on the surface of the connecting column 605, and a sealing ring 603 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the connecting column 605. A magnetic ring 604 is fixedly installed inside the top surface of the sealing ring 603, and a cleaning brush 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the sealing ring 603. The selection device 5 includes an electric telescopic rod 501, with a horizontal plate 502 fixedly installed at the top end of the electric telescopic rod 501. A connector 503 is fixedly installed on the surface of the horizontal plate 502. A connector rod 504 is movably sleeved inside the connector 503. A pull rod 505 is fixedly installed on the surface of the connector rod 504. Several resistance rings 506 are integrally formed on the surface of one end of the connector rod 504 located inside the connector 503. A support ring 507 is fixedly installed on the other end of the connector rod 504. The shape of the support ring groove 602 is adapted to the shape of the support ring 507. The top of the magnetic ring 604 attracts the bottom surface of the top plate 3.

[0035] Specifically, the magnetic ring 604 allows the cleaning brush 7 to be suspended on the bottom surface of the top plate 3 when not in use, without affecting the use and placement of the culture tube 2. The support ring groove 602, together with the support ring 507, can effectively drive the connecting column 605 to rise and fall, thereby changing the position of the cleaning brush 7. Finally, the multiple resistance rings 506 made of rubber can be adjusted to allow for selection of whether to pull them out to drive the cleaning assembly 6 to rise and fall according to the actual situation. The rubber sleeve can ensure that there is a certain resistance inside the insertion tube 503 to prevent slippage and falling, but the resistance will not be too large, making it convenient for users to adjust.

[0036] The moving device 4 includes a motor 401, the output shaft of which is fixedly sleeved with a disc 402. A rotating ring 403 is rotatably mounted on one end of the top surface of the disc 402. A connecting frame 404 is rotatably mounted on the top end of the rotating ring 403. A fixing plate 405 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the connecting frame 404. A moving plate 406 is integrally formed on the side of the fixing plate 405. A serrated plate 407 is fixedly mounted on the side of the moving plate 406. A limiting plate 408 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the moving plate 406. A sliding groove is formed on the top surface of the top plate 3. The shape of the sliding groove is adapted to the shape of the limiting plate 408. The surface of the serrated plate 407 meshes with the surface of the transmission gear 601. The motor 401 is fixedly mounted on the side of the top plate 3.

[0037] Specifically, the limiting plate 408 is used in conjunction with the sliding groove to limit the movement, so that it can only move in a straight line. In addition, the rotating ring 403 and the connecting frame 404 are both rotatably connected to the adjacent objects to ensure that the rotation output of the disc 402 is the linear movement of the moving plate 406, preventing mutual repulsion of motion and affecting the transmission. Finally, the serrated plate 407 is used in conjunction with the transmission gear 601 to drive the cleaning brush 7 to rotate back and forth, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically cleaning the inside of the culture tube 2.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The support ring 507 is pulled out from the corresponding position of the culture tube 2 to be cleaned, allowing it to enter the support ring groove 602. Then, the electric telescopic rod 501 is activated, causing the horizontal plate 502 to move downwards, which in turn causes the support ring 507 to move the cleaning assembly 6 downwards as a whole. The cleaning brush 7 then enters the culture tube 2. At this time, the motor 401 is activated, and the disc 402 rotates, causing the rotating ring 403 to move in a circular motion. This, combined with the position change of the connecting frame 404, causes the fixing plate 405 to move back and forth in a straight line. During this process, the serrated plate 407 meshes with the surface of the transmission gear 601, causing it to rotate back and forth. The cleaning brush 7 is also driven to rotate back and forth, thus completing the internal cleaning of the culture tube 2. When the cleaning brush 7 is not in use, the magnetic ring 604 is attached to the inner wall of the bottom surface of the top plate 3, ensuring that the cleaning brush 7 is suspended above the culture tube 2 and does not affect its use.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
