Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probiotic culture technology, and in particular to a probiotic inoculation and cultivation device. Background Technology

[0002] The probiotic inoculation and cultivation device integrates aseptic control, environmental regulation, automated inoculation, and online monitoring technologies. It not only solves the problems of high contamination risk and difficulty in maintaining activity in traditional cultivation methods, but also promotes the development of the probiotic industry towards standardization, large-scale production, and personalization.

[0003] In traditional techniques, the incubator door needs to be opened to observe the culture process of the petri dishes, which can alter the culture environment inside the incubator.

[0004] In the prior art, Chinese Patent [Publication No.: CN217757503U] discloses a probiotic inoculation and cultivation device, which includes a cabinet and a cultivation mechanism. The cultivation mechanism is provided inside the cabinet to support the probiotics. The cultivation mechanism includes a tray, a pad, a placement groove, a connecting cabinet, a slide, a pull rod, and a transparent cover. The top of the tray is equipped with a pad, and the surface of the pad has a placement groove for placing culture dishes. The side of the cabinet is fixedly connected to the corresponding position of the pad, and the connecting cabinet is connected to the inside of the cabinet. The surface of the tray near the connecting cabinet is equipped with a pull rod that extends to the outside of the connecting cabinet.

[0005] When it is necessary to observe the cultivation process, the corresponding lever can be pulled to one side of the connecting cabinet to insert the corresponding tray into the cabinet. The probiotic cultivation process inside the petri dish can then be observed through the transparent cover on the top of the connecting cabinet. This allows for observation of the cultivation process without altering the probiotic cultivation environment, thus avoiding any impact on the probiotic cultivation process.

[0006] However, when it is not necessary to observe the culture dishes, the connecting cabinets set on the side of the cabinet will occupy a lot of space, resulting in low space utilization. In addition, the upper connecting cabinets will hinder the staff from observing the culture dishes in the lower connecting cabinets, resulting in low observation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a probiotic inoculation and cultivation device to solve the problems of low space utilization and low observation efficiency in the existing technology.

[0008] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0009] A probiotic inoculation and cultivation device includes a cabinet and a cabinet door for sealing the cabinet. Multiple placement racks are slidably arranged inside the cabinet along the width direction of the cabinet. A slot is opened on one side of the cabinet corresponding to the position of each placement rack for the placement rack to enter and exit the cabinet. A sealing block is fixedly installed at the end of each placement rack near the slot. The sealing block is used to seal the slot. A transparent sealing sleeve is sealed between the end of the sealing block away from the cabinet and the cabinet.

[0010] Using the aforementioned technical methods, a transparent sealing sleeve isolates the internal and external environments of the cabinet. When observing the petri dishes on the shelf, simply pull the corresponding shelf out of the cabinet from the slot, observe the petri dishes through the transparent sealing sleeve, and then push the shelf back into the cabinet. This effectively improves space utilization, and the upper shelf does not obstruct the staff's observation of the lower shelf, thus significantly improving observation efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the two ends of the transparent sealing sleeve are respectively sealed and connected with a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate. The first connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cabinet. The end of the sealing block away from the cabinet is provided with an installation groove, and the second connecting plate is fixedly connected in the installation groove.

[0012] Based on the above technical means, it is easy to install a transparent sealing sleeve, which facilitates cleaning and replacement after long-term use.

[0013] Furthermore, a first sealing element is provided between the first connecting plate and the side wall of the cabinet, and a second sealing element is provided between the second connecting plate and the side wall of the mounting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, both the first and second seals are configured as sealing rings.

[0015] The above-mentioned technical means effectively improve the sealing performance at the connection between the transparent sealing sleeve and the cabinet and the sealing block.

[0016] Furthermore, a support bar is fixedly installed inside the cabinet below the placement rack, and the support bar is used to support the placement rack.

[0017] The aforementioned technical means enable the shelf to slide stably along the width of the cabinet.

[0018] Furthermore, the cross-section of the slot is trapezoidal, and the width of the inner opening of the slot is smaller than the width of the outer opening.

[0019] Based on the above technical means, the sealing effect of the sealing block on the slot is improved.

[0020] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided at the end of the placement rack away from the sealing block, and the height of the limiting block is greater than the height of the slot.

[0021] The aforementioned technical measures prevent the shelf from detaching from the cabinet.

[0022] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the end of the sealing block away from the cabinet.

[0023] The aforementioned technical means facilitate the pulling of the shelf out of the cabinet.

[0024] Furthermore, the handle is provided with friction texture.

[0025] Based on the aforementioned technical means, friction textures are added to the handle to facilitate its use.

[0026] The present application, employing the above-described scheme, has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. In this application, by setting up a placement rack, slot, sealing block and transparent sealing sleeve, the transparent sealing sleeve isolates the internal and external environment of the cabinet. When observing the petri dishes on the placement rack, you only need to pull the corresponding placement rack out of the cabinet from the slot, observe the petri dishes on the placement rack through the transparent sealing sleeve, and then push the placement rack back into the cabinet.

[0028] 2. In this application, by setting foldable transparent sealing sleeves at different placement racks, the space utilization rate can be effectively improved, and the upper placement rack will not obstruct the staff's observation of the lower placement rack, thus effectively improving the observation efficiency.

[0042] like Figures 1-4As shown in the embodiment of this application, a probiotic inoculation and cultivation device includes a cabinet 1 and a cabinet door 11 capable of sealing the side opening of the cabinet 1. A handle is provided at the cabinet door 11 for easy opening and closing. Multiple placement racks 2 are slidably arranged inside the cabinet 1 along its width. Specifically, in this embodiment, the placement racks 2 are slidably arranged inside the cabinet 1 and can slide along the left and right directions of the cabinet 1. A slot 12 is provided on one side of the cabinet 1 corresponding to the position of each placement rack 2 for the placement rack 2 to enter and exit the cabinet 1. A sealing block 3 is fixedly provided at one end of each placement rack 2 near the slot 12. The sealing block 3 is used to seal the slot 12, and a transparent sealing sleeve 4 is sealingly connected between the end of the sealing block 3 away from the cabinet 1 and the cabinet 1. By using the transparent sealing sleeve 4 to isolate the internal and external environments of the cabinet 1, when observing the petri dishes on the placement rack 2, simply pull the corresponding placement rack 2 out of the cabinet 1 from the slot 12, observe the petri dishes on the placement rack 2 through the transparent sealing sleeve 4, and then push the placement rack 2 back into the cabinet 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3 As shown, when the transparent sealing sleeve 4 is folded, it is folded outside the cabinet 1. When the placement rack 2 is pulled out, the fold of the transparent sealing sleeve 4 opens, thereby sealing the pulled-out petri dish outside the cabinet 1. This can effectively improve space utilization, and the upper placement rack 2 will not obstruct the staff's observation of the lower placement rack 2, thus effectively improving observation efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3 As shown, the two ends of the transparent sealing sleeve 4 are respectively sealed and connected with a first connecting plate 41 and a second connecting plate 42. The first connecting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cabinet 1 by fixing bolts. The end of the sealing block 3 away from the cabinet 1 is provided with an installation groove 31. The second connecting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the installation groove 31 by fixing bolts.

[0045] In some other embodiments, the two ends of the transparent sealing sleeve 4 can be directly sealed and connected to the cabinet 1 and the sealing block 3 respectively. In this embodiment, by setting the first connecting plate 41 and the second connecting plate 42, it is convenient to install the transparent sealing sleeve 4 and facilitates cleaning and replacement after long-term use.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a first sealing element 411 is provided between the first connecting plate 41 and the side wall of the cabinet 1, and a second sealing element 421 is provided between the second connecting plate 42 and the side wall of the mounting groove 31. The first sealing element 411 and the second sealing element 421 effectively improve the sealing performance at the connection between the transparent sealing sleeve 4 and the cabinet 1 and the sealing block 3. In this example, both the first sealing element 411 and the second sealing element 421 are set as sealing rings.

[0047] In this embodiment, a support bar 13 is fixedly installed inside the cabinet 1 below the placement rack 2. The support bar 13 supports the placement rack 2, allowing the placement rack 2 to slide stably along the width direction of the cabinet 1. In other embodiments, a slide rail can also be installed inside the cabinet 1 to achieve a sliding connection between the placement rack 2 and the cabinet 1.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 3-4 As shown, the cross-section of the slot 12 is trapezoidal, and the width of the inner opening of the slot 12 is smaller than the width of the outer opening, which improves the sealing effect of the sealing block 3 on the slot 12. To improve the sealing performance at the slot 12, a sealing ring or similar device can also be embedded at the slot 12 or / and the sealing block 3.

[0049] In some alternative embodiments, a limiting block 21 is fixedly installed at the end of the placement rack 2 away from the sealing block 3 by bolts. The height of the limiting block 21 is greater than the height of the slot 12. When the placement rack 2 is pulled outward for observation, it can prevent the placement rack 2 from detaching from the cabinet 1.

[0050] In this embodiment, a handle 32 is provided at the end of the sealing block 3 away from the cabinet 1, which facilitates pulling the shelf 2 out of the cabinet 1. The handle 32 may be provided with friction texture or friction sleeve to facilitate the use of the handle 32.

[0051] In this embodiment, a temperature regulating device is also provided on the cabinet 1 to regulate the temperature inside the cabinet 1, thereby adjusting it to the optimal growth temperature for probiotics. This temperature regulating device is existing technology, such as an electrically heated thermostatic cabinet. The specific installation structure and control method of the temperature regulating device are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In this embodiment, an oxygen concentration control device is also provided on the cabinet 1 to adjust the oxygen concentration inside the cabinet 1, thereby adjusting it to the optimal oxygen concentration for probiotics. This oxygen concentration control device is existing technology; for example, it may be used in conjunction with or alone with an oxygen tank and / or an N2 / CO2 tank. The specific installation structure and control method of the oxygen concentration control device are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 can also be equipped with sensors, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, oxygen concentration sensors, etc., and the specific models can be selected according to the actual situation. The specific installation structure and control method of the sensors are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] It should be noted that the control methods of the temperature regulation equipment, oxygen concentration control equipment, and sensors are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0055] The working principle of the probiotic inoculation and cultivation device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0056] The shelf 2 in cabinet 1 holds culture dishes inoculated with probiotics. When it's necessary to observe the growth of probiotics in the culture dishes after a certain period of incubation, the corresponding shelf 2 is selected, and the handle 32 is pulled away from cabinet 1. The handle 32 moves the sealing block 3, which in turn moves the shelf 2. As the sealing block 3 moves away from cabinet 1, it also moves the second connecting plate 42, causing the transparent sealing sleeve 4 to unfold synchronously. After the shelf 2 is pulled out of cabinet 1, the staff can observe the growth of probiotics in the culture dishes through the transparent sealing sleeve 4. After observation, the shelf 2 is pushed back into cabinet 1 until the sealing block 3 seals the opening 12.
