Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of counting frame technology, specifically a counting frame for swimming organisms that is convenient for observation. Background Technology
[0002] Phytoplankton, as primary consumers of the aquatic environment, refers to tiny plants that live a planktonic life in water bodies. They are an important component of aquatic ecosystems, characterized by rapid reproduction and short growth cycles. They are sensitive to changes in the aquatic environment and are one of the important indicators reflecting water quality. In water environment management, phytoplankton are widely used in aquatic environment monitoring and eutrophication health assessment of water bodies. Phytoplankton species are also considered one of the standards for judging water quality. Phytoplankton detection is generally done manually, requiring microscopic examination under a microscope using a plankton counting frame.
[0003] However, existing planktonic counting frames have relatively simple structures, mostly using a single-cavity design and lacking internal structural separation. Samples are prone to uneven distribution due to liquid flow or gravity, leading to planktonic aggregation or overlap, which affects the counting efficiency of the counting frame. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient organism counting frame for observation, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a convenient organism counting frame, comprising a main frame;
[0006] The inner side of the main frame is provided with partition plates at equal intervals, and the partition plates divide the main frame into five rows of counting slots for separate counting. The inner side of each counting slot is movably connected with a partition frame that matches the counting slot, and the partition frame is used to reduce the flow of liquid inside to facilitate observation of the number of plankton.
[0007] Preferably, a support member is fixedly connected to the top of the partition frame, and a support groove is formed at the top of the side of the partition plate, which forms a sliding structure with the support member. The support member and the support groove cooperate to make the partition frame move only in a straight line, so as to avoid liquid flow caused by up and down movement.
[0008] Preferably, the top wall of the separator is flush with the liquid level in the counting tank to suppress lateral flow of the liquid.
[0009] Preferably, the support member includes an L-shaped rod fixedly connected to the partition frame and a ball fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped rod, and the ball and the support groove form a sliding structure.
[0010] Preferably, ball grooves are symmetrically provided on both sides of the separator frame, and balls are rolled inside the ball grooves. The ball grooves and balls cooperate to reduce the friction between the separator frame and the counting groove, so as to make the separator frame slide smoothly.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This convenient plankton counting frame divides the main frame into five independent counting slots using partitions. The partitions can slide laterally within the counting slots, allowing the observation area to be locked row by row, significantly reducing the number of times the microscope field of view needs to be adjusted, thereby improving counting efficiency. Furthermore, the partitions reduce the fluidity of the liquid inside, preventing plankton from moving and facilitating the observation of plankton numbers. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a convenient organism counting frame, including a main frame 1;
[0019] The inner side of the main frame 1 is provided with partition plates 2 at equal intervals. The partition plates 2 divide the main frame 1 into five rows of counting slots 101 to separate the counting and improve the counting efficiency.
[0020] Specifically, the counting slot 101 is 1.5cm high, and by using segmented counting, the counting efficiency can be improved.
[0021] exist Figures 1-3 In the middle: The inner side of the counting tank 101 is movably connected to a partition frame 3 that matches the counting tank 101. The partition frame 3 is used to reduce the flow of the liquid inside to facilitate the observation of the number of plankton.
[0022] Specifically, by reducing the fluidity of the liquid inside the separator 3, the plankton in the liquid are prevented from moving, thus facilitating the observation of the number of plankton.
[0023] exist Figures 1-3 In the middle: The top of the partition frame 3 is fixedly connected to the support member 4, and the top of the side of the partition plate 2 is provided with a support groove 5 that forms a sliding structure with the support member 4. The support member 4 and the support groove 5 cooperate to make the partition frame 3 only move in a straight line, so as to avoid liquid flow caused by up and down movement.
[0024] Specifically, the support member 4 and the support groove 5 work together to support and limit the partition frame 3, so that the partition frame 3 only moves in a straight line, avoiding liquid flow caused by up and down movement.
[0025] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the middle: the top wall of the separator 3 is flush with the liquid surface in the counting tank 101 to form a physical barrier, inhibit the lateral flow of liquid, and ensure that the planktonic organisms in the counting area remain still.
[0026] Specifically, by making the top wall of the separator 3 flush with the liquid surface in the counting tank 101, a physical barrier can be easily formed to suppress the lateral flow of the liquid, thereby ensuring that the planktonic organisms in the counting area remain still.
[0027] exist Figures 1-3 In the middle: the support member 4 includes an L-shaped rod fixedly connected to the partition frame 3 and a ball fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped rod, and the ball and the support groove 5 form a sliding structure.
[0028] Specifically, the sphere makes the sliding of the support 4 inside the support groove 5 smoother.
[0029] exist Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the middle: ball grooves 6 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the separator 3. Balls 7 are rolled inside the ball grooves 6. The ball grooves 6 and the balls 7 work together to reduce the friction between the separator 3 and the counting groove 101 so that the separator 3 can slide smoothly.
[0030] Specifically, the cooperation between the ball groove 6 and the ball 7 can reduce the friction between the separator 3 and the counting groove 101, making the separator 3 slide smoothly and preventing jamming.
[0031] The concentrated planktonic sample is added to the counting tank 101 of the main frame 1 using a pipette. After addition, the main frame 1 is placed on the microscope stage. After settling, the planktonic organisms settle to the bottom of the counting tank 101 due to gravity. Then, they can be observed and counted through the microscope. Through the sliding action of the separator 3 and the separator plate 2, after the planktonic organisms in the separator 3 are counted, the separator 3 can be pushed by the support 4 to slide laterally in the counting tank 101 until it moves to the next counting position so that the planktonic organisms in the next counting position can be counted. By using the separator counting method, the counting efficiency can be improved.
[0032] Electrical equipment (including but not limited to motors, electric actuators, etc.) is safely powered by an external power source and controlled by a control box. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0033] Although the present invention 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
