Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot spring algae cultivation technology, specifically a hot spring algae cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] Hot spring algae are a type of algae that prefer to grow in hot spring environments. Their unique survival characteristics are closely linked to the ecological environment. Hot spring algae can absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from hot spring water, which is of great significance for controlling eutrophication and purifying water quality. In some hot spring areas that are polluted or ecologically damaged, the reasonable introduction and cultivation of hot spring algae can help promote the self-repair and stable development of the ecosystem.

[0003] In the traditional process of cultivating hot spring algae, the algae need suitable light for photosynthesis. However, most existing algae cultivation lighting equipment uses fixed positions for lighting, which results in uneven light exposure for the algae in the cultivation container. Some areas are exposed to too much light, which can damage the algae, while other areas are exposed to insufficient light, which limits photosynthesis and affects the healthy growth of the hot spring algae. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of uneven light exposure for hot spring algae due to the fixed location of traditional algae cultivation lighting equipment, this invention aims to provide a hot spring algae cultivation device.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a hot spring algae cultivation device, including a base, a shell fixedly installed on the upper part of the base, a first gear rotatably installed on the bottom end of the shell, a second gear provided on one side of the first gear, the second gear meshing with the first gear, a drive component provided at the bottom end of the second gear, an LED light group fixedly installed on the top end of the first gear, the top end of the LED light group contacting the inner upper surface of the shell, a cultivation container provided in the middle of the base, a sealing cap threadedly installed on the upper part of the cultivation container, two symmetrically distributed positioning blocks fixedly installed on the lower part of the cultivation container, two symmetrically distributed positioning grooves opened on the upper part of the base, and both positioning blocks slidingly locked inside the positioning grooves.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example: Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a hot spring algae cultivation device, including a base 1. A shell 2 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the base 1. A first gear 21 is rotatably installed on the bottom end of the shell 2. A second gear 22 is provided on one side of the first gear 21. The second gear 22 meshes with the first gear 21. A drive component is provided at the bottom end of the second gear 22. An LED light group 24 is fixedly installed on the top end of the first gear 21. The top end of the LED light group 24 is in contact with the inner upper surface of the shell 2. A cultivation container 3 is provided in the middle of the base 1. A sealing cap 31 is threadedly installed on the upper part of the cultivation container 3. Two symmetrically distributed positioning blocks 34 are fixedly installed on the lower part of the cultivation container 3. Two symmetrically distributed positioning grooves 341 are opened on the upper part of the base 1. Both positioning blocks 34 are slidably locked inside the positioning grooves 341. By setting the positioning grooves 341, when installing the cultivation container 3, the positioning work of the cultivation container 3 is completed by sliding the positioning blocks 344 into the positioning grooves 341, so as to facilitate the subsequent limiting and fixing of the cultivation container 3.

[0019] A double-ended screw 11 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the base 1. Limiting blocks 12 are threadedly installed on both sides of the double-ended screw 11. Two symmetrically distributed cavities 13 are opened in the upper part of the base 1. The two limiting blocks 12 are slidably locked in the middle of the cavity 13. By setting the cavity 13, the limiting blocks 12 can be limited, ensuring that the two limiting blocks 12 can move more stably relative to or away from each other under the rotation of the double-ended screw 11, and will not rotate with the double-ended screw 11.

[0020] Two symmetrically distributed heating rods 33 are installed on the lower inner surface of the culture container 3. By setting the heating rods 33, the culture water in the culture container 3 can be heated.

[0021] A temperature sensor 32 is installed on the upper side of the culture container 3. The temperature sensor 32 works in conjunction with the heating rod 33. By setting the temperature sensor 32, the operation of the heating rod 33 can be automatically controlled by the signal fed back by the temperature sensor 32 to maintain the water temperature within the range suitable for the growth of hot spring algae.

[0022] The base 1 has a groove 35 in the middle, and the lower part of the culture container 3 is slidably locked inside the groove 35. By setting the groove 35, the lower part of the culture container 3 is slidably locked inside the groove 35, thereby making the culture container 3 more stable.

[0023] The drive assembly includes a motor 23, which is fixedly installed on the lower side of the base 1. The bottom center of the second gear 22 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the motor 23. By setting the motor 23, the second gear 22 can be driven to rotate under the drive of the motor 23, that is, the first gear 21 that is meshed with it can be driven to rotate.

[0024] The lower part of the culture container 3 has two symmetrically distributed limiting grooves 14. Both limiting blocks 12 are slidably locked inside the limiting grooves 14. By setting the limiting grooves 14, the upper side of the limiting block 12 can be slidably locked inside the limiting grooves 14 by the relative movement of the two limiting blocks 12, thereby limiting and fixing the culture container 3.

[0025] A handle 111 is fixedly installed at one end of the double-ended screw 11 that passes through the base 1. By setting the handle 111, rotating the handle 111 can drive the double-ended screw 11 to rotate.

[0026] Working principle: In actual use, the pre-treated and highly active hot spring algae seed is slowly introduced into the culture water in the culture container 3, and the sealing cap 31 is installed on the upper part of the culture container 3. During the culture process, the motor 23 drives the second gear 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing first gear 21 to rotate, thereby driving the LED light group 24 to rotate. The LED light group 24 is composed of white LEDs, blue LEDs and red LEDs in a specific ratio. With the rotation of the LED light group 24, the light intensity received by the hot spring algae in the culture container 3 is more uniform, which is conducive to the photosynthesis of the hot spring algae.

[0027] Furthermore, by setting a temperature sensor 32 on the upper part of the culture container 3 to provide feedback on the temperature of the culture water, and controlling the start and stop of the heating rod 33, the temperature of the culture water is adjusted so that it is maintained within the range suitable for the growth of hot spring algae.

[0028] When installing and removing the culture container 3, the lower part of the culture container 3 is placed inside the tank 35, and the double-headed screw 11 is rotated by turning the handle 111, which drives the two limiting blocks 12 to move relative to each other, thereby limiting the lower part of the culture container 3 and completing the installation and fixing. When it is necessary to remove it, the handle 111 is turned in the opposite direction to make the limiting blocks 12 move in opposite directions, so that the culture container 3 can be taken out from the middle of the shell 2.

[0029] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
