[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a photosynthetic bacteria colony expansion and cultivation device, comprising a culture tank 1, an expansion mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the culture tank 1 for expanding the cultured bacteria, a feeding mechanism 3 rotatably connected to the middle of the inner wall of the expansion mechanism 2 for stirring the bacteria, and a control mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the culture tank 1; the expansion mechanism 2 includes an expansion tank 201 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the culture tank 1, and a connecting cover 202 fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the expansion tank 201. The top of the outer wall of 02 is provided with a feed hole 203. A sealing ring 204 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting cover 202. A connecting component 205 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the expansion tank 201. The connecting component 205 includes a connecting frame 2051. The connecting frame 2051 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the top of the expansion tank 201.

[0032] Specifically, the photosynthetic bacteria grow in culture tank 1.

The expansion tank 201 is fixed and supported by the connecting frame 2051. The front supplemental light 2052 provides light, and the rear temperature controller 2053 regulates the temperature. The sealing ring 204 of the connecting cover 202 prevents impurities. The bottom connecting ring 2054 is used for fixing or connecting. The feeding mechanism 3 stirs to promote the contact of bacteria with nutrients. The control mechanism 4 adjusts the parameters. All equipment needs to be dissolved and sterilized with boiling water. During the cultivation period, the tank is shaken twice a day to ensure successful cultivation.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5The feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding pipe 301, which penetrates the middle of the inner wall of the expansion tank 201. A branch pipe 302 is connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the feeding pipe 301. Multiple spray nozzles 303 are fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the branch pipe 302. Multiple fixing buckles 304 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the branch pipe 302. A stirring assembly 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the branch pipe 302. The stirring assembly 305 includes a motor 3051, which is fixedly connected to the feed tank. On the top right side of the culture tank 1, a bevel gear 3052 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3051. A bevel gear 3053 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top wall of the culture tank 1. The bevel gear 3053 meshes with the bevel gear 3052.

[0034] Specifically, the material enters the expansion tank 201 through the feed pipe 301, and part of it is diverted to the branch pipe 302 and dispersed and conveyed by the spray pipe 303. The motor 3051 starts and drives the first bevel gear 3052 to rotate, meshing with the second bevel gear 3053. The power is transmitted through the connecting shaft 3054, causing the feed pipe 301 and the branch pipe 302 to rotate. The stirring blade 3055 stirs the mixture, and the fixing buckle 304 stabilizes the branch pipe 302, ensuring that the material conveying and stirring process is stable and efficient, and achieving uniform dispersion and full mixing.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The control mechanism 4 includes an output pipe 401, which is connected to the top of the outer wall of the culture tank 1. A fixing frame 402 is fixedly connected around the outer wall of the output pipe 401. A flow limiting component 403 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the fixing frame 402. The flow limiting component 403 includes a proportional valve 4031, which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the fixing frame 402. A valve 4032 is installed on the front side of the outer wall of the proportional valve 4031. A support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top side of the feed pipe 301. A screw 6 is threadedly connected to the outer wall side of the support frame 5. An observation window 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall side of the culture tank 1. An exhaust hole 8 is opened at the top of the outer wall of the culture tank 1.

[0036] Specifically, the working principle of the control mechanism 4 is as follows: When it is necessary to discharge the material in the culture tank 1, the material flows out through the output pipe 401. The fixing frame 402 plays a role in stabilizing the output pipe 401 and ensuring the stability of its connection. The proportional valve 4031 in the flow limiting component 403 can adjust the opening and closing degree of the valve 4032 according to actual needs, thereby accurately controlling the flow rate of the material. The support frame 5 and screw 6 are used to fix the feed pipe 301 to ensure the stability of the feeding process. The observation window 7 allows the operator to observe the material status in the culture tank 1 in real time, while the exhaust port 8 can discharge the gas in the culture tank 1, maintain the pressure balance in the tank, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the entire system.

[0037] Working principle: When the photosynthetic bacteria expansion culture device is running, the bacteria in culture tank 1 grow under suitable conditions. The required number of layers is stacked according to user needs. When it is necessary to expand the culture scale, the photosynthetic bacteria culture medium is mixed according to the following ratio: 20g sodium acetate, 20g potassium dioxin, 2g magnesium sulfate, 20g ammonium sulfate, 2g sodium oxide, and 1g manganese sulfate. This mixture enters the expansion tank 201 through the feed hole 203 on the connecting cover 202 to achieve bacterial culture. The connecting frames 2051 around the expansion tank 201 provide fixation and support. The supplementary light 2052 on the front connecting frame 2051 provides light to the photosynthetic bacteria to meet their photosynthetic needs; the temperature controller 2053 on the rear connecting frame 2051... The temperature inside the expansion tank 201 is monitored and adjusted in real time to ensure that the bacteria multiply in a suitable environment. The sealing ring 204 on the connecting cover 202 prevents external impurities from entering and ensures a pure culture environment. The connecting ring 2054 at the bottom can be used to fix the device or connect other components. The feeding mechanism 3 rotates and stirs inside the expansion tank 201 to promote full contact between the bacteria and nutrients and accelerate the expansion culture process. The control mechanism 4 regulates relevant parameters during the culture process. It should be noted that the required 10 liters of original bacteria and 10 liters of culture medium need to be dissolved in boiling water. At the same time, all equipment should be sterilized by boiling water. During the culture process, it needs to be shaken twice a day to ensure the smooth progress of the entire culture process.

[0038] When the feeding mechanism 3 is working, the material enters the expansion tank 201 through the feeding pipe 301. Some of the material is diverted to the branch pipe 302 and dispersed and conveyed through the spray pipe 303. After the motor 3051 is started, it drives the first bevel gear 3052 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission with the second bevel gear 3053, the power is transmitted to the connecting shaft 3054, which causes the feeding pipe 301 and the branch pipe 302 to rotate together. At the same time, the stirring blade 3055 on the connecting shaft 3054 rotates to stir and mix the material. The fixing buckle 304 is used to stabilize the position of the branch pipe 302 to ensure that the material conveying and stirring process is stable and efficient, and to achieve uniform dispersion and full mixing of the material.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
