Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubator technology, and in particular to a microbial culture box. Background Technology

[0002] An incubator is used to cultivate certain fungal strains that require a constant temperature and humidity environment for extended periods. The incubator simulates the temperature and humidity conditions necessary for the growth of these strains in their natural environment, providing stable and controllable conditions to promote their growth and reproduction. The fungal strains are first placed in a culture box, which is then placed in the incubator to begin cultivation. When watering is needed, the nozzles are positioned in a fixed location, ensuring that strains or plants closer to the nozzles receive more water, while those further away receive insufficient water. This can easily create watering dead zones, resulting in inconsistent growth of the fungal strains within the incubator or even partial death of some strains. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model discloses a microbial culture box that solves the problem of uneven water replenishment of microorganisms in the culture box, the existence of water replenishment dead zones, and the resulting inconsistent growth or partial death of microorganisms.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A microbial culture chamber includes a chamber body with a rotatable column inside. A support plate is fixed on the column, and two sets of culture boxes are detachably connected to the support plate. The column is located between the two sets of culture boxes. A first motor for driving the column is provided on the chamber body. A bidirectional lead screw located above the support plate is rotatably connected inside the chamber body. Two moving blocks are threaded onto the bidirectional lead screw. The column is located between the two moving blocks. A connecting shell is fixed on the moving blocks. An atomizing nozzle is connected to the bottom of the connecting shell. A corrugated pipe penetrating the chamber body and used for water supply is connected to the connecting shell. A second motor for driving the lead screw is provided on the chamber body.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0007] After installing the two sets of culture boxes on the support plate, when it is necessary to replenish the water in the culture boxes, the No. 2 motor can be started to drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, causing the two moving blocks to move towards the column respectively, and then the two connecting shells to move above the two sets of culture boxes respectively. At this time, the corrugated pipe is stretched, and the external water pump pumps water into the corrugated pipe. The water is then discharged through the atomizing nozzle at the bottom of the connecting shell. As the two connecting shells move, the water mist sprayed from the atomizing nozzle can be evenly distributed on the two sets of culture boxes to replenish the water in the culture. This utility model can replenish the water in the culture evenly, avoid the existence of water replenishment dead zones, ensure the uniform growth of the culture, and prevent the death of the culture.

[0013] The specific content of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0014] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this utility model provides a microbial culture box, including a box body 1, a rotatable column 2 inside the box body 1, a support plate 3 fixed on the column 2, two sets of culture boxes 4 detachably connected to the support plate 3, the column 2 being located between the two sets of culture boxes 4, and a first motor 25 for driving the column 2 on the box body 1; a bidirectional lead screw 6 located above the support plate 3 is rotatably connected inside the box body 1, two moving blocks 61 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 6, the column 2 is located between the two moving blocks 61, a connecting shell 62 is fixed on the moving blocks 61, an atomizing nozzle 63 is connected to the bottom of the connecting shell 62, a corrugated pipe 64 penetrating the box body 1 and used for water supply is connected to the connecting shell 62, and a second motor 67 for driving the bidirectional lead screw 6 is provided on the box body 1. After installing the two sets of culture boxes 4 on the support plate 3, when it is necessary to replenish the water for the inoculum in the culture boxes 4, an external water pump can pump water into the corrugated pipe 64. At the same time, the second motor 67 is started to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 6, causing the two moving blocks 61 to drive the two connecting shells 62 to move towards the column 2, extending the corrugated pipe 64. The water entering the connecting shells 62 is then discharged through the atomizing nozzle 63. As the two connecting shells 62 move above the two sets of culture boxes 4, the water mist discharged from the atomizing nozzle 63 can effectively cover the inoculum in the two sets of culture boxes 4, providing uniform water replenishment. Alternatively, the first motor 25 can be started to drive the column 2 to rotate (90°), changing the position of the two sets of culture boxes 4. The water is then drained while the atomizing nozzle 63 moves, which can better eliminate dead zones for water replenishment of the inoculum. The main bodies of the first motor 25 and the second motor 67 are fixed to the box body 1. The shaft of motor 25 passes through the bottom of the box 1 and is fixed to the bottom of the column 2. The shaft of motor 67 passes through the box 1 and is fixed to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 6. The bidirectional lead screw 6 can be made of engineering plastic (such as POM), which has the advantages of being lightweight and moisture-resistant. Waterproof lubricant (such as lithium-based grease or fully synthetic fluorinated grease) is used on the bidirectional lead screw 6 to prevent the lubricant from being washed away by water. A set of support plates 3 is provided on the column 2, and a set of support plates 3 is distributed from top to bottom. The corresponding bidirectional lead screw 6 and motor 67 are also provided with a set, so that more strains can be cultivated at one time, and water can be replenished evenly at the same time. An auxiliary rod (not shown in the figure) is fixed inside the box 1, which passes through the moving block 61. The auxiliary rod is slidably connected to the moving block 61 to better assist the movement of the moving block 61. Both motor 25 and motor 67 are servo motors. The column 2 is located between the bidirectional lead screw 6 and the auxiliary rod.

[0015] like Figure 1 Place, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the top of the support plate 3 has two sets of placement slots 31 for placing the culture box 4. Two sets of rotating rods 32 are rotatably connected in the placement slots 31, and the culture box 4 is located between the two sets of rotating rods 32. A set of horizontal bars 33 that are in contact with the bottom of the culture box 4 are rotatably connected in the placement slots 31. Water-absorbing cotton 34 is placed at the bottom of the placement slots 31. A magnet 35 is fixed on the side of the placement slots 31 near the column 2. An iron plate 48 is fixed on the side of the culture box 4 that is in contact with the magnet 35. The culture box 4 can be placed in the placement slot 31, where a set of crossbars 33 in the placement slot 31 supports the bottom of the culture box 4, and two sets of rotating rods 32 in the placement slot 31 can limit the sides of the culture box 4. When the culture box 4 is pushed into the placement slot 31, the crossbars 33 and rotating rods 32 rotate due to friction, making it easy for staff to put the culture box 4 into the placement slot 31 and also easy for staff to take the culture box 4 out. When the iron plate 48 comes into contact with the first magnet 35, the first magnet 35 will attract the iron plate 48, thereby increasing the stability of the culture box 4 placed in the placement slot 31. The water-absorbing cotton 34 can absorb the water mist discharged from the atomizing nozzle 63, thereby increasing the humidity inside the box 1.

[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a pull plate 41 is fixed to the side of the culture box 4 away from the iron plate 48. A perforated plate 42 is fixed inside the culture box 4. A fixing shell 43 is fixed to the top of the perforated plate 42. A short pipe 44 that penetrates the iron plate 48 is connected to the side of the fixing shell 43 near the column 2. A set of thin pipes 45 is connected to the side of the fixing shell 43 away from the iron plate 48. A one-way valve 46 is connected to the thin pipes 45. The column 2 is hollow. A connecting pipe 22 connected to the column 2 is provided inside the support plate 3. Two sets of water supply pipes 23 are connected to the connecting pipe 22. The drain end of the water supply pipe 23 is located in the placement groove 31 and can be inserted into the short pipe 44. A fixing pipe 21 that penetrates the box body 1 is rotatably connected to the top of the column 2. A drain pipe 47 located below the perforated plate 42 is connected to the culture box 4. Workers can pull the culture box 4 out of the placement tank 31 using the pull plate 41. After the bacteria in the culture box 4 absorb water, the excess water can be drained through the perforations on the perforated plate 42 and collected at the bottom of the culture box 4. The water can then be drained by opening the sealing cap on the drain pipe 47. The water inlet of the fixed pipe 21 is connected to an external water pump. After the external water pump pumps water into the fixed pipe 21, the water enters the connecting pipe 22 through the column 2. There are two connecting pipes 22 in the support plate 3, which are symmetrically distributed from left to right. The column 2 is located at the two... Between the connecting pipes 22, the two sets of water supply pipes 23 on the two connecting pipes 22 are respectively located in the two sets of placement slots 31 on the support plate 3. After the culture box 4 is placed in the placement slot 31, the water supply pipe 23 is inserted into the short pipe 44. The water supply pipe 23 can drain the water in the connecting pipe 22 into the fixed shell 43, so that the water is discharged through the one-way valve 46 on a set of thin pipes 45, so as to replenish the bacteria. With the atomizing nozzle 63, the bacteria can be quickly and comprehensively replenished. A filter screen can be fixed on the drain end of the one-way valve 46 to prevent impurities from clogging the drain end of the one-way valve 46.

[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, two sides of the bearing plate 3 are respectively attached to a second magnet 5. A horizontal plate 51 is fixed on the side of the second magnet 5 away from the column 2. Several sets of limiting rods 52 are fixed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 51. A vertical rod 53 that passes through the horizontal plate 51 is slidably connected between a set of limiting rods 52. The bottom of the pull plate 41 is provided with an insertion hole for the vertical rod 53 to be inserted. A magnet 54 that contacts the bottom of the horizontal plate 51 is fixed on the vertical rod 53. The horizontal plate 51 is made of steel. The support plate 3 is also made of steel. There are at least two No. 2 magnets 5 on one side of the support plate 3. A sliding plate is fixed to each No. 2 magnet 5. The support plate 3 has a track adapted to the sliding plate (the sliding plate and track are not shown in the figure). A horizontal plate 51 is fixed to each of the two No. 2 magnets 5 on one side of the support plate 3. The No. 2 magnets 5 are attached to the support plate 3. When the culture box 4 is placed in the placement slot 31, the pull plate 41 is L-shaped, with its bottom contacting the top of the horizontal plate 51. This allows the vertical rod 53 to be pushed upwards, so that its top inserts into the insertion hole at the bottom of the pull plate 41. The magnet 54 then contacts the horizontal plate 51. The culture box 4 is fixed by adsorbing onto the horizontal plate 51; there are two limit rods 52, which can effectively limit the upward and downward movement of the vertical rod 53; when it is necessary to check the bacteria, the door panel on one side of the box 1 is opened (the door panel is not shown in the figure. The door panel is equipped with a control panel to control and set the first motor 25 and the second motor 67. The control program for setting the first motor 25 and the second motor 67 is a very mature existing technology, which will not be described in detail here). The horizontal plate 51 can be pulled directly to pull out a set of culture boxes 4 at the same time, which improves the efficiency of the staff to check the bacteria in the culture box 4.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a heating lamp plate 7 is fixed on the column 2 above the bidirectional lead screw 6, and a storage battery 24 is fixed on the column 2. The storage battery 24 can supply power to the heating lamp plate 7. There are several groups of heating lamp plates 7, with two heating lamp plates 7 in each group. The two heating lamp plates 7 are located directly above the two groups of placement slots 31 on the support plate 3. The arrangement of the heating lamp plates 7 can provide supplemental lighting and heating for the inoculum, ensuring that the inoculum is in a suitable growth environment.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the end of the corrugated pipe 64 furthest from the column 2 is connected to a horizontal pipe 65, and the other end of the horizontal pipe 65 is connected to a water supply pipe 66. The inlet end of the water supply pipe 66 is connected to an external water pump, which can pump water into the water supply pipe 66. A solenoid valve is installed on the horizontal pipe 65 so that the bacteria can be replenished by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, an air intake fan 8 is installed on the top of the box 1, and an exhaust pipe 9 is connected to the box 1. The exhaust pipe 9 works in conjunction with the air intake fan 8 to ventilate the inside of the box 1 after the air intake fan 8 is turned on; a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the box 1 to facilitate the drainage of accumulated water inside the box 1.
