In the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same or corresponding components are assigned the same reference numerals, and duplicated thereto. The description will be omitted.

In the present embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a device for easily identifying the state of the floating organisms 14, for example, the water flea, contained in the liquid 12 in the container 10, the case ( 110, the main plate 120, the main lamp 130, the support 140, the sub plate 150, the sub lamp 160, the hinge unit 170, the brightness adjusting unit 180, and the diffusion cover 190. A floating organism identification device 100 is shown.

According to the present embodiment as described above, the container 10 can be mounted not only on the main plate 120 but also on the subplate 150, so that light can be supplied from the side direction of the container 10, and thus floating organisms such as daphnia. The state of (14) can be confirmed more clearly.

Further, a plurality of main lamps 130 and sub lamps 160 are configured to increase the brightness of light, and each of the plurality of main lamps 130 and the sub lamps 160 generates different colors of light. In this way, the searchability for the floating organisms 14 can be further improved.

Hereinafter, each configuration of the floating organism identification device 100 according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The case 110 has a space portion provided therein, and the main lamp 130 may be installed in the space portion as shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main plate 120 is installed to cover the space portion in the case 110, and a container in which the liquid 12 containing the floating organisms 14, such as daphnia, is contained on the main plate 120. 10, that is, a beaker may be seated and supported on the main plate 120.

In this case, the main plate 120 may be made of a translucent material, and thus the main plate 120 may perform the function of a diffuser plate to uniformly diffuse the light emitted from the main lamp 130 located below the main plate 120. .

As shown in FIG. 1, the main lamp 130 is installed in the space of the case 110 to provide light to the liquid 12 so that the floating organisms 14 contained in the liquid 12 can be identified. That is, the light generated by the main lamp 130 reaches the container 10 via the main plate 120 having a diffuser plate function. In this case, the container 10 may also be made of a transparent material, and thus liquid Clear identification of the state of the floating organism 14 in 12 is possible.

The main lamp 130 is configured in plural as shown in FIG. 1, and may be, for example, an LED lamp. In addition, each of the plurality of main lamps 130 may emit light of different colors. For example, the plurality of main lamps 130 may include a white LED lamp and a red LED lamp.

As described above, the plurality of main lamps 130 may be configured to increase the overall brightness of the light provided to the container 10, thereby improving the searchability of the floating organisms 14 such as daphnia. In addition, since the main lamp 130 is composed of a plurality of lamps that emit light of different colors, it is possible to supply the light 12 of the color suitable for the environment and the kind of the living organisms 14 to the liquid 12 in the container 10. As a result, the searchability for the floating organisms 14 can be further improved.

The support 140 may be coupled to the case 110 to support the sub ramp 160 and the sub plate 150. In detail, the support 140 may be a support plate that is upright in the vertical direction and coupled to the side of the case 110 as shown in FIG. 1.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the sub plate 150 may be installed on the support 140 to support the container 10 containing the liquid 12, that is, the beaker. The sub-plate 150 may be composed of a plurality, they may be arranged side by side in a line.

The sub plate 150 may be hinged to the support 140 to be foldable toward the support 140 as shown in FIG. 2. That is, the sub plate 150 may be installed on the support 140 through the hinge portion 170, and the sub plate 150 may be in the range of 90 degrees with respect to the surface of the support 140 by the hinge portion 170. Rotation is possible.

Accordingly, when the sub plate 150 is not used, the sub plate 150 may be folded so that the surface of the sub plate 150 is in contact with the support 140, so that the sub plate 150 may be suspended in the container 10 using the sub plate 150. While effectively identifying the organisms 14, the space of the main plate 120 may be fully utilized.

Each of the plurality of subplates 150 may be individually operated and individually folded or unfolded as illustrated in FIG. 2. Accordingly, except for the necessary subplate 150, the rest can be folded toward the support 140, thereby maximizing the space utilization of the main plate 120 and the subplate 150.

Meanwhile, the width of the sub plate 150 may be set to 50% or less of the width of the main plate 120 as shown in FIG. 2. Accordingly, even when all of the subplates 150 are unfolded, as shown in FIG. 1, a part of the main play is not covered by the subplate 150 and thus is exposed, so that the subplate 150 and the main plate ( 120) It is possible to effectively identify the floating organisms 14 by utilizing all at the same time.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the sub lamp 160 may be installed on the support 140 to provide light to the liquid 12 so that the suspended organisms 14 contained in the liquid 12 can be identified. Specifically, since the sub lamp 160 is installed on the support 140, light may be provided to the side of the container 10 seated on the sub plate 150. Accordingly, even when green algae are precipitated or other foreign substances are present on the lower surface of the container 10, the floating organisms 14, such as daphnia within the liquid 12, may be effectively identified.

In this case, the sub lamp 160 is configured in plural like the main lamp 130, and may be, for example, an LED lamp. Each of the plurality of sub lamps 160 may emit light of different colors. For example, the plurality of sub lamps 160 may include a white LED lamp and a red LED lamp.

As such, the plurality of sub-lamps 160 may also increase the brightness of the light as a whole, thereby improving the searchability of the floating organisms 14, and the plurality of lamps emitting the different-color light of the sub-lamps 160. In this case, light of a suitable color can be supplied to the liquid 12 in the container 10 as necessary, so that the searchability for the floating organisms 14 can be further improved.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the diffusion cover 190 covers the sub lamp 160 to uniformly diffuse the light emitted from the sub lamp 160 and may be made of a translucent material. The diffusion cover 190 may function as a diffusion plate for the sub ramp 160 similarly to the main plate 120.

The brightness controller 180 may adjust brightness of light generated from the main lamp 130 and the sub lamp 160. That is, the brightness controller 180 may be electrically connected to the main lamp 130 and the sub lamp 160 to adjust the brightness of each of them, and accordingly, the brightness of the brightness controller suitable for the environment and the kind of the floating organism 14 may be adjusted. Since light can be supplied to the liquid 12 in the container 10, the searchability for the floating organism 14 can be further improved.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The present invention can be variously modified and changed by those skilled in the art, and it is also within the scope of the present invention.
