Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of columnar spore collection devices, and particularly relates to a device suitable for rapid collection of columnar spores. Background Technology
[0002] Microbial spores are a special survival structure, mainly produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. They are used to resist adverse environmental conditions and ensure the continuation of the microbial population. Spores are highly tolerant, able to maintain their vitality in extreme environments, and germinate and grow into new individuals when environmental conditions return to a suitable state.
[0003] Spores play a crucial role in the life cycle of microorganisms. For example, some Gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus and Clostridium, form spores when nutrients are scarce or the environment is harsh; these are dormant cellular structures. Fungal spores are diverse, commonly falling into two main categories: asexual spores and sexual spores. Asexual spores are formed through asexual reproduction, such as the conidia produced by molds. They can rapidly disperse and germinate in suitable environments to form new colonies. Sexual spores, on the other hand, are produced through sexual reproduction, possessing genetic diversity that helps fungi adapt to environmental changes. Fungal spores are typically spread through the air, enabling them to travel long distances to find new growth sites.
[0004] The primary function of spores is to protect microorganisms in adverse environments. When the environment is too hot, dry, nutrient-poor, or contains harmful chemicals, microorganisms enter a dormant state by forming spores, almost ceasing metabolic activity, thus greatly extending their lifespan. Once the environment returns to a suitable state for growth, the spores germinate, reverting to active microbial individuals and resuming reproduction. Furthermore, spores are also important in medicine and industry. Some bacterial spores, such as Bacillus anthracis and Clostridium botulinum, are pathogenic and can reactivate in the human body, causing disease. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the heat resistance of spores during disinfection and sterilization processes. Industrially, the fermentation of fungal spores to produce antibiotics, enzyme preparations, and fermented food products is also very common.
[0005] Microbial spores are highly resilient survival structures that enable microorganisms to withstand harsh environments and achieve long-term survival and dispersal through dormancy and protective mechanisms. The formation, structure, and function of spores demonstrate the remarkable adaptability of microorganisms to their environment and are an important subject in microbiological research.
[0006] However, traditional spore collection methods are usually inefficient, prone to incomplete collection, and unable to effectively separate impurities. Utility Model Content

An elastic scale is fixed between the fixing plates. The elastic scale is C-shaped and forms a horseshoe shape with the collection ring. A collection net is connected to the bottom of the collection ring, and a separation column is connected to the bottom of the collection net. Several collection tubes are connected to the bottom of the separation column. Valves connect the collection tubes to the separation column. A filter screen is installed at both the top and bottom of the separation column. A collection bottle is connected to the bottom of each collection tube via a connection port.
[0010] Preferably, a handle is connected to the rear side of the collecting ring.
[0011] Preferably, the collecting net is arranged in a funnel shape.
[0012] Preferably, the separating column and the collecting tube are cylindrical, and the collecting bottle is conical.

[0021] 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.
[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a device suitable for rapidly collecting dried spores, including a U-shaped collection ring 2, with fixing plates 11 connected to both sides of the opening of the collection ring 2, and an elastic scale 12 fixed between the fixing plates 11. The elastic scale 12 is C-shaped and forms a horseshoe ring with the collection ring 2. A collection net 4 is connected to the bottom of the collection ring 2, and a separation column 6 is connected to the bottom of the collection net 4. Several collection tubes 8 are connected to the bottom of the separation column 6, and a valve 7 is connected between the collection tubes 8 and the separation column 6. A filter screen 5 is provided at the upper and lower ends of the separation column 6, and a collection bottle 10 is connected to the bottom of each collection tube 8 through a connection port 9.
[0023] In use, point the collecting ring 2 toward the tree trunk and ensure that the elastic scale 12 fits snugly against the trunk to prevent spore leakage. Then, gently brush off the spores from the trunk and let them fall into the collecting net 4. Next, shake the device to allow the spores and impurities to pass through the filter screen 5 into the separation column 6. The upper filter screen 5 filters out large particles of impurities, and the bottom filter screen 5 filters out small particles of impurities. After filtering out small particles of impurities by shaking twice, the spores and impurities of the same size in the separation column 6 are arranged in layers due to differences in density and diameter. Open the valve 7, and the separated spores and impurities will pass through the collecting tube 8 to the collecting bottle 10 in sequence, achieving rapid spore collection.
[0024] Specifically, the collection ring 2 of the device is made of stainless steel, and the elastic scale 12 is made of rubber, which has good elasticity and durability. Different lengths of elastic scale 12 can be selected according to the diameter of the tree trunk so that the elastic scale 12 fits the tree trunk tightly. The collection net 4 is made of polyethylene. The filter screen 5 is made of stainless steel mesh, and the aperture can be replaced as needed. Three collection tubes 8 are distributed and connected to the bottom of the separation column 6. The connection port 9 is the threaded port at the bottom of the collection tube 8, and the collection bottle 10 is threadedly connected to the connection port 9.
[0025] In summary, this utility model, through the combined use of a collection ring 2, an elastic scale 12, a collection net 4, a filter screen 5, a separation column 6, a collection tube 8, and a collection bottle 10, solves the shortcomings of traditional collection methods, such as low efficiency, incomplete collection, and ineffective separation of impurities. It can achieve rapid separation and collection of column-dried spores and impurities.
[0026] Furthermore, a handle 3 is connected to the rear side of the collecting ring 2 for easy gripping by the operator.
[0027] Furthermore, the collection net 4 is funnel-shaped, which helps guide the spores to flow and gather towards the center, reducing spore dispersion.
[0028] Specifically, the separation column 6 and the collection tube 8 are cylindrical, and the collection bottle 10 is conical.
[0029] Furthermore, the top of the collection ring 2 is provided with an upwardly extending baffle 1 to prevent the brushed-down columnar spores from falling outside the collection ring 2.
[0030] Specifically, the baffle 1 has a height of 5cm, the collecting ring 2 has a diameter of 10cm, the elastic scale 12 has an original length of 6cm, the separating column 6 has a diameter of 2cm and a height of 10cm, the filter screen 5 has a diameter of 2cm, the collecting tube 8 has a diameter of 0.6cm, and the bottom diameter of the collecting bottle 10 has a diameter of 0.6cm.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
