Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of microbial isothermal culture, and in particular to a microbial isothermal culture device. Background Technology

[0002] Microorganisms include a large group of organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and some small protozoa and microalgae. They are tiny in size and closely related to humans. They encompass a wide range of species, both beneficial and harmful, and are widely used in food, medicine, industry, agriculture, environmental protection, sports, and many other fields. Existing technology publication number CN217127394U discloses a microbial isothermal culture device. A test tube containing microbial liquid is placed in a test tube insertion hole, with the bottom of the test tube extending into a temperature-conducting cavity and contacting the support base.

However, this device cannot guarantee a uniform temperature inside the entire test tube and is inconvenient to handle, affecting its usability. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a microbial constant temperature culture device that clamps and fixes the culture tube to prevent it from being touched by other culture tubes during handling, ensures that the test tube is fully heated as a whole, and facilitates handling.

[0004] This utility model discloses a microbial constant temperature culture device, comprising an incubator, multiple support legs, a partition, a heating component, a lifting component, a fixing component, and a protective component. Multiple support legs are installed on the lower outer wall of the incubator. The partition is installed inside the incubator, dividing the lower part of the incubator into a constant temperature culture chamber. Multiple connecting holes are provided on the partition. The heating component is installed inside the constant temperature culture chamber. The lifting component is installed on the upper side of the incubator. The fixing component is installed on the lifting component, and the protective component is installed on the fixing component. The heating component heats the constant temperature culture chamber. The culture tube is placed on the fixing component, and the lifting component moves the culture tube downwards, passing through the connecting holes into the constant temperature culture chamber, ensuring the entire tube is fully heated. The protective component is installed on the top of the incubator, providing a protective seal to the interior of the incubator.

[0005] Preferably, the heating component includes a temperature sensor, multiple heating tubes, multiple impellers, multiple drive motors, and a touch screen controller. The temperature sensor is installed on the rear wall inside the constant temperature incubation chamber. The multiple heating tubes are installed on the left and right sides below the constant temperature incubation chamber. The multiple impellers are rotatably installed on the front and rear sides of the constant temperature incubation chamber. The input end of the impeller passes through the bottom of the incubator and connects to the output end of the drive motor. The touch screen controller is installed on the front side wall of the incubator. A heat-conducting liquid is provided inside the constant temperature incubation chamber. The temperature is set by the touch screen controller, the heating tubes are activated to heat the heat-conducting liquid, and the drive motors are activated to drive the impellers to rotate and stir the heat-conducting liquid, ensuring uniform heat distribution and sufficient heating of the entire test tube. At the same time, the temperature sensor detects the temperature inside the constant temperature incubation chamber to ensure temperature accuracy.

[0006] Preferably, the fixing components include a fixing plate, multiple sets of springs, multiple sets of clamping columns, and multiple sets of clamping plates. The fixing plate is located above the partition inside the incubator. Fixing holes are opened on the fixing plate at positions corresponding to the connecting holes. Clamping cavities are symmetrically opened on the left and right sides in the fixing holes. The clamping columns are slidably installed in the clamping cavities. The springs are installed in the clamping cavities, with one end of the spring connected to the clamping column. Clamping plates are installed on the outer ends of the clamping columns. When the culture tube is passed through the fixing hole, the spring pushes the clamping column to clamp and fix the culture tube with the two clamping plates, preventing it from hitting other culture tubes during handling and causing the culture tube to shake and break.

[0007] Preferably, the lifting component includes a dual-output motor, two gearboxes, two rotating rods, two sliding blocks, and two sets of guide slides. The dual-output motor is installed in the middle of the bottom of the incubator. The two gearboxes are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the incubator.

Threaded grooves are formed on the upper side of the rotating rods. Sliding blocks are installed on the left and right sides of the fixed plate. Guide grooves are symmetrically formed on the side walls of the left and right ends of the incubator about the lifting grooves. Guide slides are installed in the guide grooves. The middle sliding block is screwed onto the outer wall of the rotating rod, and the front and rear sliding blocks are slidably installed on the outer wall of the guide slides. When the dual-output motor is started, it drives the rotating rods to rotate through the gearboxes, causing the middle sliding block to move in the lifting groove, pushing the fixed plate downwards, allowing the culture tube to pass through the connecting hole and enter the constant temperature culture chamber. When the fixed plate moves, it drives the front and rear sliding blocks to slide on the guide slides, enhancing the connection strength and ensuring stability.

[0008] Preferably, the protective components include multiple uprights, multiple connecting columns, an insulated top cover, and multiple handles. Uprights are installed at the four corners of the top of the fixed plate, and connecting columns are installed at the top of the uprights. The insulated top cover has round holes that match the connecting columns, and multiple handles are installed on the insulated top cover. After the fixed plate moves downward, the insulated top cover is placed on the top of the incubator, allowing the connecting columns to enter the round holes and be positioned. After the incubation is completed, the fixed plate moves upward, and the uprights push the insulated top cover upward, allowing the insulated top cover to be removed from the top of the incubator for easy removal and placement.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a protective cover, which is installed at the bottom of the incubator and has a heat dissipation grille at the bottom; the protective cover can protect the bottom of the incubator and prevent damage from bumps.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, multiple support legs 2 are installed on the lower outer wall of the incubator 1. A partition 11 is installed inside the incubator 1, dividing the lower part of the incubator 1 into a constant temperature culture chamber. Multiple connecting holes are opened on the partition 11. A temperature sensor 12 is installed on the rear wall inside the constant temperature culture chamber. Multiple heating tubes 13 are installed on the left and right sides below the constant temperature culture chamber.

The upper end of the inner wall of the left and right sides of the incubator 1 is provided with lifting slide grooves. The output end of the gearbox 4 is connected to the rotating rod 5. The upper part of the rotating rod 5 is rotatably installed in the lifting slide groove. The upper side of the rotating rod 5 is provided with a threaded groove. The left and right sides of the fixing plate 7 are provided with sliding blocks 6. The left and right side walls of the incubator 1 are symmetrically provided with guide slide grooves about the lifting slide groove. The guide slide rod 16 is installed in the guide slide groove. The middle sliding block 6 is screwed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 5. The front and rear sliding blocks 6 are slidably installed on the outer wall of the guide slide rod 16. The top four corners of the fixing plate 7 are provided with uprights 18. The top of the uprights 18 is provided with connecting columns 19. The heat preservation top cover 20 is provided with round holes that match the connecting columns 19. Multiple handles 21 are provided on the heat preservation top cover 20. The protective cover 22 is installed at the bottom of the incubator 1. The bottom of the protective cover 22 is provided with heat dissipation grids. The observation window 23 is installed at the front end of the constant temperature culture chamber.

[0021] The constant-temperature incubation chamber is filled with a heat-conducting liquid. The temperature is set via the touchscreen controller 17, and the heating tube 13 is activated to heat the heat-conducting liquid. The drive motor 15 is activated to drive the impeller 14 to rotate and stir the heat-conducting liquid, ensuring uniform heat distribution and sufficient heating of the entire test tube. At the same time, the temperature sensor 12 detects the temperature inside the constant-temperature incubation chamber to ensure temperature accuracy. The culture tube is passed through the fixing hole, and the spring 8 pushes the clamping column 9 to clamp and fix the culture tube with two clamping plates 10, preventing it from shaking and breaking during handling. The dual-output motor 3 is activated, which drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate through the gearbox 4, causing the middle sliding block 6 to move within the lifting slide. The fixed plate 7 is pushed downwards to allow the culture tube to pass through the connecting hole and enter the constant temperature culture chamber.

The protective cover 22 can protect the bottom of the incubator 1 to avoid damage from bumps. The observation window 23 facilitates observation inside the constant temperature culture chamber.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model discloses a microbial constant temperature culture device. During operation, the culture tube is passed through the fixing hole. Spring 8 pushes the clamping column 9, causing two clamping plates 10 to clamp and fix the culture tube, preventing it from shaking and breaking during handling. A heat-conducting liquid is placed inside the constant temperature culture chamber. The temperature is set via the touch screen controller 17, and the heating tube 13 is activated to heat the heat-conducting liquid. The drive motor 15 drives the impeller 14 to rotate, stirring the heat-conducting liquid to ensure uniform heat distribution and sufficient heating of the entire test tube. Simultaneously, the temperature sensor 12 monitors the temperature of the culture tube. The temperature inside the incubation chamber is monitored to ensure accuracy. The dual-output motor 3 is started, which drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate via the gearbox 4. This causes the middle sliding block 6 to move within the lifting slide, pushing the fixed plate 7 downwards. This allows the culture tube to pass through the connecting hole and enter the constant temperature incubation chamber. After the fixed plate 7 moves downwards, the heat preservation top cover 20 is installed on the top of the incubator 1, allowing the connecting column 19 to enter the round hole and be positioned. After the incubation is completed, the fixed plate 7 moves upwards, and the upright rod 18 pushes the heat preservation top cover 20 upwards, allowing the heat preservation top cover 20 to be removed from the top of the incubator 1 for easy removal and placement.
