[0034] In this embodiment, a plurality of installation areas are provided in the box body 1, and a plurality of first inner doors 3 are hinged in the installation area. The plurality of first inner doors 3 correspond to the plurality of culture areas 13 one by one. After opening the box door 2, the corresponding first inner door 3 can be opened according to the position of the culture area 13 to be operated, so as to avoid directly opening the internal space of the incubator, maintain the stability of the culture environment in the incubator as much as possible, and reduce the influence of opening the box door 2 on cell culture. A second inner door 4 is hinged at the position of the box body 1 corresponding to the water tank placement area. When replacing the water in the water tank 14, the water tank 14 can be taken out for replacement by opening the second inner door 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, a first arc groove 15 is provided at a position corresponding to the first inner door 3 and the second inner door 4 on one side of the box body 1 to facilitate opening the first inner door 3 and the second inner door 4.

When opening the box door 2, the locking mechanism 7 and the connecting mechanism 6 corresponding to the culture area 13 to be operated can be locked and connected with each other, so that the box door 2 can drive the first inner door 3 to move synchronously without the need for a second door opening operation. In this embodiment, a groove 22 is provided on one side of the box door 2 to facilitate opening the box door 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the connection mechanism 6 includes a mounting plate 61, an elastic member 62 and a movable member 63. The first inner door 3 is provided with a first mounting groove 31 at one end close to the closing groove 52. The mounting plate 61 is fixedly installed in the first mounting groove 31. A mounting cavity is provided between the mounting plate 61 and the first mounting groove 31. The elastic member 62 is provided in the mounting cavity. A through hole 611 is provided on the mounting plate 61. In this embodiment, the elastic member 62 is an elastic rope. One end of the elastic member 62 is fixedly connected to the first inner door 3, and the other end passes through the through hole 611 and is fixedly connected to the movable member 63. The elastic member 62 is used to keep the movable member 63 in a state of being fitted with the mounting plate 61. The movable member 63 is used to cooperate with the locking mechanism 7 to lock. After the locking mechanism 7 is locked with the movable member 63, it can drive the movable member 63 to move. The movable member 63 drives the first inner door 3 to move by stretching the elastic member 62, so that the synchronous movement of the box door 2 and the first inner door 3 can be achieved. When the first inner door 3 is reset, the elastic member 62 retracts to pull the movable member 63 back to its original position.

[0039] In this embodiment, the movable member 63 includes a connecting head 631, a clamping rod 632 and a limiting head 633 which are fixedly connected in sequence. The connecting head 631, the clamping rod 632 and the limiting head 633 can be welded, screwed, or integrally formed to achieve fixed connection. The connecting head 631 is fixedly connected to the elastic member 62, and a guide groove 612 is provided at the through hole 611. The end of the connecting head 631 is clamped in the guide groove 612. By providing the guide groove 612, it is convenient for the connecting head 631 to return to the original position.

[0040] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 7 includes a clamping member 71, a second mounting groove 23 and a third mounting groove 24 are provided on the box door 2, the second mounting groove 23 is connected to the third mounting groove 24, the clamping member 71 is slidably clamped in the second mounting groove 23, the movable member 63 of the connecting mechanism 6 can be inserted in the third mounting groove 24, a U-shaped groove 711 is provided on the clamping member 71, and the U-shaped groove 711 of the clamping member 71 can be clamped on the clamping rod 632 of the connecting mechanism 6 by sliding the clamping member 71, and the limit head 633 is used to prevent the clamping member 71 from being separated from the clamping rod 632. Thereby, the box door 2 can drive the corresponding first inner door 3 to move synchronously without the need for a second door opening operation. It should be noted that the clamping member 71 is provided with anti-slip grooves to facilitate the position of the sliding clamping member 71.

[0041] In the present invention, when the door 2 needs to be opened to operate the culture dish in the incubator:

[0042] First, determine the culture area 13 where the required culture dish is located, and slide the clamping member 71 corresponding to the culture area 13 so that the clamping member 71 is clamped with the corresponding clamping rod 632 .

[0043] Then, the box door 2 is opened. When the box door 2 rotates to open, the movable member 63 is driven to move by the clamping member 71. When the movable member 63 moves, the first inner door 3 is driven to rotate by stretching the elastic member 62, so that the box door 2 and the first inner door 3 can rotate synchronously.

[0044] When the box door 2 is closed, the box door 2 pushes the first inner door 3 to close. During this process, the elastic member 62 retracts to pull the movable member 63 back to the original position, and the connector 631 is re-engaged in the guide groove 612 at the through hole 611.
