DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0035] like Figure 1-12 As shown, an intelligent incubator includes a test tube 31, a main body 1 and a bracket 12, and also includes a constant temperature chamber 2 arranged on the bracket 12, a clamping mechanism 4 is arranged in the constant temperature chamber 2, and the clamping mechanism 4 includes a clamping plate 41 symmetrically slidably arranged in the constant temperature chamber 2, the clamping plate 41 is driven to clamp the test tube 31 in an inclined state, the test tube 31 is driven to reciprocate, and the first end of the test tube 31 shakes regularly.
[0036] Specifically, the body 1 is provided with a pull-out mobile rack 11, and the bracket 12 is arranged in the mobile rack 11. When the test tube 31 is stored or retrieved, the test tube 31 is pulled out from the body 1 which can control temperature and humidity through the mobile rack 11. Figure 6 The movable groove 214 is provided to provide a range for the test tube 31 to shake. The movable direction of the two clamping plates 41 is perpendicular to the central axis of the constant temperature chamber 2 to adjust the second end (the right end) of the test tube 31. Figure 3 For reference, the first end is the left end and the second end is the right end) and when the bacterial colony in the test tube 31 needs to be shaken, the test tube 31 will be driven to rotate counterclockwise (with Figure 3 As a reference, the test tube 31 rotates in the state of being clamped by the two clamping plates 41, which causes the first end of the test tube 31 to shake regularly, that is, the first end of the test tube 31 moves to the right end (with Figure 3 After moving (as a reference), it rotates clockwise, moves to the left, and then rotates counterclockwise again, and the cycle is repeated to shake the bacterial colony in the test tube 31.
[0037] Furthermore, the main body 1 is an incubator, and the constant temperature chamber 2 includes an outer layer 21 and a blocking end 22 for blocking the outer layer 21. The outer layer 21 is provided with an interlayer 211 for heat preservation, and the blocking end 22 is provided with holes for transferring moisture and temperature. This is the prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0038] In the above technical solution, after the test tube 31 has been in the constant temperature chamber 2 for a certain period of time, when it needs to be shaken, it can be clamped by the clamping plate 41, and then the test tube 31 can be driven to rotate to drive the test tube 31 to shake in the constant temperature chamber 2, thereby assisting the accumulation of bacteria in the test tube 31 to diffuse. During the shaking process, there is no need to open the main body 1 to take out the test tube 31, thereby avoiding the influence of external temperature and humidity on the cultured bacteria in the test tube 31, and there is no need for the user to manually move the test tube 31.
[0039] As an embodiment provided by the present invention, a sliding frame 30 for supporting a test tube 31 is slidably connected in the constant temperature chamber 2, and a driving mechanism 5 is arranged on the sliding frame 30. The driving mechanism 5 includes an elastic driving gear 51 rotatably connected to the sliding frame 30, wherein:
[0040] The elastic driving gear 51 is driven to rotate and drives the test tube 31 to rotate and store energy;
[0041] As the test tube 31 rotates, the storage capacity increases, driving the clamping plate 41 to move, so that the test tube 31 is separated from the elastic driving gear 51 and rotates.
[0042] Specifically, the sliding frame 30 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber 2. The sliding connection can be through a slide rail or a slider, etc. A through slot 322 is provided on the sliding frame 30, and the elastic driving gear 51 is rotatably connected in the through slot 322. When it is necessary to drive the test tube 31 to shake, the elastic driving gear 51 is first rotated, and the rotating elastic driving gear 51 will push the test tube 31 to start rotating and start to store energy. When the stored energy reaches a certain value, the test tube 31 will be pushed along with the rotation, that is, the first end of the test tube 31 moves to the right end (with Figure 3 As a reference), the test tube 31 will then be disengaged from the elastic driving gear 51. After disengagement, the test tube 31 will rotate clockwise (with Figure 3 By shaking in a self-rotating and swinging manner, the mixture can be quickly and evenly shaken in a small constant temperature chamber 2 to reduce the shaking time and the damage to the bacterial flora caused by the shaking.
[0043] When the test tube 31 needs to be shaken, the elastic driving gear 51 is driven to rotate to couple the test tube 31 to rotate counterclockwise and start to store energy. As the energy is stored, the elastic driving gear 51 drives the first end of the test tube 31 to move to the right end. When the moving test tube 31 disengages from the elastic driving gear 51, the test tube 31 rotates clockwise with the accumulated potential energy, moves to the left, and then rotates counterclockwise again, and the cycle is repeated to shake the bacterial colony in the test tube 31.
[0044] As an embodiment provided by the present invention, a power storage wheel 42 is symmetrically arranged on the clamping plate 41. The power storage wheel 42 rotates and stores energy as the test tube 31 is coupled to the elastic driving gear 51, and releases the stored energy as the test tube 31 is separated from the elastic driving gear 51.
[0045] Specifically, a rotating shaft 411 is provided on the clamping plate 41, and a force storage wheel 42 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 411. When the clamping plate 41 is driven close to the test tube 31 to clamp it, four force storage wheels 42 arranged along the diagonal line fit into the test tube 31 to clamp it, so that when the test tube 31 rotates, the force storage wheel 42 provides the test tube 31 with the degree of freedom of rotation, and when rotating, the force storage wheel 42 will rotate to accumulate elastic potential energy, and when the test tube 31 is separated from the elastic driving gear 51, the force storage wheel 42 releases the accumulated elastic potential energy to realize the rotation of the test tube 31 in two directions, so as to accelerate the diffusion of the bacterial flora and make the bacterial flora evenly diffuse in the test tube 31.
[0046] Furthermore, an elastic member such as a spring or a tension spring may be provided between the power storage wheel 42 and the rotating shaft 411 to realize the accumulation of elastic potential energy.
[0047] When the test tube 31 is placed in the constant temperature chamber 2, the sliding rack 30 is slid out of the constant temperature chamber 2, and then the test tube 31 is placed on the inclined sliding rack 30, and then the sliding rack 30 is pushed into the constant temperature chamber 2. At this time, the clamping plate 41 will clamp the test tube 31 to clamp the test tube 31 through the four power storage wheels 42. When the test tube 31 needs to be shaken, the elastic driving gear 51 is driven to rotate to couple the test tube 31 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction and drive the power storage wheel 42 to rotate to start energy storage. As the energy is stored, the elastic driving gear 51 will drive the first end of the test tube 31 to move to the right end. When the moving test tube 31 disengages from the elastic driving gear 51, the test tube 31 will release the potential energy accumulated by the power storage wheel 42 to rotate clockwise, and then move to the left and then rotate counterclockwise again, and circulate to shake the bacterial colony in the test tube 31.
[0048] As an embodiment provided by the present invention, a slide bar 43 is slidably provided on the constant temperature chamber 2, and an "L"-shaped elastic plate 40 is provided on the clamping plate 41 and the slide bar 43, and the elastic plate 40 is deformed as the test tube 31 stores energy.
[0049] Specifically, the slide bar 43 is slidably connected to the constant temperature chamber 2, and the first end of the slide bar 43 (with Fig. 9 For reference, the first end is the left end) is provided with an active fillet 432, and an "L"-shaped elastic plate 40 is arranged between the active fillet 432 and the clamping plate 41, and the two surfaces of the elastic plate 40 are respectively in contact with the two active directions of the clamping plate 41, so that as the test tube 31 rotates, energy is continuously stored, and the rotational force of the test tube 31 driven by the elastic driving gear 51 will increase, and the increased force will pull the elastic plate 40 to deform, so that the two clamping plates 41 begin to move along the deformation of the elastic plate 40, at this time, the test tube 31 will move with the coupling of the elastic driving gear 51, so as to finally disengage from the elastic driving gear 51, and after the disengagement, the elastic potential energy is completely released, and the elastic plate 40 will drive the test tube 31 back to the coupled position to continue rotating.
[0050] When the test tube 31 is put into the constant temperature chamber 2, the sliding rack 30 is slid out of the constant temperature chamber 2, and then the test tube 31 is put on the inclined sliding rack 30, and then the sliding rack 30 is pushed into the constant temperature chamber 2. At this time, the clamping plate 41 clamps the test tube 31 to clamp the test tube 31 through the four power storage wheels 42. When the test tube 31 needs to be shaken, the elastic driving gear 51 is driven to rotate, so as to couple the test tube 31 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction and drive the power storage wheel 42 to rotate to start energy storage. The elastic driving gear 51 will increase the rotational force of the test tube 31, and the increased force will pull the elastic plate 40 to deform, so that the elastic driving gear 51 will drive the first end of the test tube 31 to move to the right end. When the moving test tube 31 disengages from the elastic driving gear 51, the test tube 31 will release the potential energy accumulated by the power storage wheel 42 to rotate clockwise, and then move to the left and then rotate counterclockwise again, and the cycle will be repeated to shake the bacterial colony in the test tube 31.
[0051] As an embodiment provided by the present invention, a coupling tooth groove 431 is provided on the slide rod 43, and a second driving gear 44 is rotatably connected to the constant temperature chamber 2. The second driving gear 44 rotates and engages with the coupling tooth groove 431 as the sliding frame 30 moves, so that the slide rod 43 slides.
[0052] Specifically, a rotating inner core 441 is fixedly connected to the second driving gear 44, and a fitting wheel 45 that fits the sliding frame 30 is rotatably connected to the constant temperature chamber 2. Damping feet 451 that fit the rotating inner core 441 are arranged in a circular array inside the fitting wheel 45. When the sliding frame 30 is manually pulled out of the constant temperature chamber 2, the fitting wheel 45 will drive the rotating inner core 441 to drive the second driving gear 44 to rotate, so as to couple the coupling tooth groove 431 to drive the sliding rod 43 to move and open the clamping plate 41. When the sliding frame 30 slides into the constant temperature chamber 2, the fitting wheel 45 will also rotate with the sliding of the sliding frame 30 to drive the clamping plate 41 to clamp the test tube 31. The stroke of the sliding rod 43 is smaller than the stroke of the sliding frame 30. In order to achieve early opening or early clamping of the test tube 31, the sliding rod 43 with a small stroke will move first, and after the stroke reaches the limit, the damping foot 451 will keep the sliding rod 43 in the extreme position without moving.
[0053] When the test tube 31 is placed in the constant temperature chamber 2, the sliding frame 30 is slid out of the constant temperature chamber 2, and the clamping plate 41 is opened, and then the test tube 31 is placed on the inclined sliding frame 30, and then the sliding frame 30 is pushed into the constant temperature chamber 2. At this time, the clamping plate 41 will clamp the test tube 31 to clamp the test tube 31 through the four power storage wheels 42. When the test tube 31 needs to be shaken, the elastic driving gear 51 is driven to rotate, so as to couple the test tube 31 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction and drive the power storage wheel 42 to rotate to start energy storage. As energy is stored, the rotational force of the test tube 31 driven by the elastic driving gear 51 will increase, and the increased force will pull the elastic plate 40 to deform, so that the elastic driving gear 51 will drive the first end of the test tube 31 to move to the right end. When the test tube 31 is separated from the elastic driving gear 51, the test tube 31 will release the potential energy accumulated by the power storage wheel 42 to rotate clockwise, and then move to the left and then rotate counterclockwise again, and the cycle will be repeated to shake the bacterial colony in the test tube 31.
[0054] As an embodiment provided by the present invention, a base is provided at the first end of the sliding frame 30, and the base includes a plurality of assembly blocks 53. The plurality of assembly blocks 53 are fitted together as the sliding frame 30 pops out of the constant temperature chamber 2 to support the test tube 31, and the plurality of assembly blocks 53 are disbanded as the sliding frame 30 retracts into the constant temperature chamber 2.
[0055] Specifically, the first end of the sliding frame 30 (with Figure 4For reference, the first end is the lower end) and a bottom support is provided. Both ends of the combination block 53 are inclined surfaces. The inclined surfaces can bend when the combination blocks 53 are attached to each other, so that multiple combination blocks 53 form a curved bottom support. This is the first state. The first state is maintained when the sliding frame 30 slides out of the constant temperature chamber 2 to play a supporting role when the test tube 31 is not clamped by the clamping plate 41. When the combination block 53 is in another state, multiple combination blocks 53 are away from each other so that the bottom support is disbanded and will not restrict the test tube 31. This is the second state. The second state is maintained after the sliding frame 30 is retracted into the constant temperature chamber 2 to give a shaking stroke when the test tube 31 rotates and shakes, and will not hinder the shaking of the test tube 31. A storage chute 212 is provided on the outer shell layer 21 to store the combination block 53 in the disbanded state.
[0056] When the test tube 31 is placed in the constant temperature chamber 2, the sliding frame 30 is slid out of the constant temperature chamber 2, and the clamping plate 41 is opened. At this time, the multiple assembly blocks 53 form a curved bottom support, and then the test tube 31 is placed on the inclined sliding frame 30 to be supported by the bottom support, and then the sliding frame 30 is pushed into the constant temperature chamber 2. At this time, the clamping plate 41 will clamp the test tube 31 to clamp the test tube 31 through the four power storage wheels 42. At this time, the bottom support is disbanded and the restriction on the test tube 31 is lost. When the test tube 31 needs to be shaken, the elastic driving gear 51 is driven to rotate to couple the test tube 31 to move in the reverse direction. The test tube 31 rotates in the clockwise direction and drives the power storage wheel 42 to rotate and start storing energy. As the energy is stored, the rotational force of the test tube 31 driven by the elastic driving gear 51 will increase. The increased force will pull the elastic plate 40 to deform, so that the elastic driving gear 51 will drive the first end of the test tube 31 to move to the right end. When the test tube 31 is separated from the elastic driving gear 51, the test tube 31 will release the potential energy accumulated by the power storage wheel 42 to rotate clockwise, and then move to the left and then rotate counterclockwise again, and the cycle will be repeated to shake the bacterial colony in the test tube 31.
[0057] As an embodiment provided by the present invention, a limiting plate 54 is provided on the constant temperature chamber 2, and a first driving gear 50 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 54, and the sliding frame 30 is driven to retract along the constant temperature chamber 2, so that the elastic driving gear 51 is coupled to the first driving gear 50, and the sliding frame 30 is driven to pop out of the constant temperature chamber 2, so that the elastic driving gear 51 is deformed and fits the limiting plate 54 to be locked;
[0058] The sliding frame 30 is provided with a sliding groove 32 , in which a rotating column 521 is disposed. The elastic driving gear 51 slides on the rotating column 521 . The limiting plate 54 has a first limiting portion 542 and a second limiting portion 543 at both ends thereof.
[0059] Specifically, a coupling groove 541 is provided on the limiting plate 54 for the first driving gear 50 to pass through, and the first driving gear 50 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor so as to be driven to rotate by the motor. A fixing groove 213 is provided on the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber 2, and the limiting plate 54 is arranged in the fixing groove 213. A limiting protrusion 544 is provided on the first limiting portion 542. An elastic coupling tooth 511 corresponding to the first driving gear 50 is provided on the elastic driving gear 51, and a deformation groove 512 is provided in a circumferential array on the elastic driving gear 51. When the sliding frame 30 is driven to retract along the constant temperature chamber 2, the elastic driving gear 51 will slide along the sliding groove 32. The second limiting portion 543 is moved and fitted to make the elastic driving gear 51 embedded in the through groove 322 and coupled to the first driving gear 50 at the same time, so that it is driven by the first driving gear 50 to rotate and rotate along the rotating column 521. When the sliding frame 30 is driven to pop out (extend) of the constant temperature chamber 2, the elastic driving gear 51 (the elastic driving gear 51 is made of rubber and has elasticity to complete deformation) will be squeezed along the sliding groove 32 and deformed along the deformation groove 512 to slide in the sliding groove 32 to generate damping, and slide in contact with the first limiting portion 542 so that the limiting protrusion 544 is engaged in the undeformed deformation groove 512 for locking.
[0060] When the test tube 31 is placed in the constant temperature chamber 2, the sliding frame 30 is slid out of the constant temperature chamber 2 and the clamping plate 41 is opened. At this time, the multiple combination blocks 53 form a curved bottom support, and the limiting protrusion 544 is locked in the undeformed deformation groove 512, and then the test tube 31 is placed on the inclined sliding frame 30 to be supported by the bottom support. Then the sliding frame 30 is pushed into the constant temperature chamber 2, and the clamping plate 41 will clamp the test tube 31 to clamp the test tube 31 through the four power storage wheels 42. At this time, the bottom support is disbanded, and the restriction on the test tube 31 is lost. At the same time, the elastic driving gear 51 is embedded in the through groove 322 and coupled to the first driving gear 50. When the test tube 31 is moved, the elastic driving gear 51 is driven to rotate, so as to couple the test tube 31 to rotate counterclockwise and drive the power storage wheel 42 to rotate and start to store energy. As the energy is stored, the rotational force of the test tube 31 driven by the elastic driving gear 51 will increase, and the increased force will pull the elastic plate 40 to deform, so that the elastic driving gear 51 will drive the first end of the test tube 31 to move to the right end. When the moving test tube 31 is separated from the elastic driving gear 51, the test tube 31 will release the potential energy accumulated by the power storage wheel 42 to rotate clockwise, and then move to the left and then rotate counterclockwise again, and the cycle will be repeated to shake the bacterial colony in the test tube 31.
[0061] As an embodiment provided by the present invention, a connecting rope 52 is provided on the rotating column 521, and the combination block 53 is slidably provided on the connecting rope 52. A pushing block 531 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 32. The pushing block 531 pushes the combination block 53 along with the elastic driving gear 51, so that the distance between the multiple combination blocks 53 is reduced.
[0062] Specifically, a sliding column 321 is provided in the sliding groove 32 for the pushing block 531 to slide, and a connecting rope 52 is provided on the rotating column 521. The elastic driving gear 51 will slide along the connecting rope 52 to push the pushing block 531, and the pushing block 531 will push the combination block 53 along the connecting rope 52, so that the inclined surfaces of multiple combination blocks 53 fit together to form a base.
[0063] As an embodiment provided by the present invention, a winding rope 421 is wound around the power storage wheel 42, and a pulling elastic angle 401 is provided on the elastic plate 40. The winding rope 421 pulls the pulling elastic angle 401 as the power storage wheel 42 rotates to drive the elastic plate 40 to be tensioned as the power storage wheel 42 stores power.
[0064] Specifically, the winding rope 421 and the pulling elastic angle 401 are connected to each other. When the power storage wheel 42 rotates with the rotation of the test tube 31, the pulling elastic angle 401 will be pulled while winding the winding rope 421 to accumulate elastic potential energy. The pulling elastic angle 401 will be tensioned after being pulled to increase the pulling force of the elastic plate 40, so that when the test tube 31 is separated from the elastic driving gear 51, the resetting time of the test tube 31 is accelerated, thereby reducing the shaking stroke to avoid excessive stroke causing the test tube 31 to hit the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber 2 when moving.
[0065] When the test tube 31 is placed in the constant temperature chamber 2, the sliding frame 30 is slid out of the constant temperature chamber 2 and the clamping plate 41 is opened. At this time, the multiple combination blocks 53 form a curved bottom support, and the limiting protrusion 544 is locked in the undeformed deformation groove 512, and then the test tube 31 is placed on the inclined sliding frame 30 to be supported by the bottom support. Then the sliding frame 30 is pushed into the constant temperature chamber 2, and the clamping plate 41 will clamp the test tube 31 to clamp the test tube 31 through the four power storage wheels 42. At this time, the bottom support is disbanded, and the restriction on the test tube 31 is lost. At the same time, the elastic driving gear 51 is embedded in the through groove 322 and coupled to the first driving gear 50. When the test tube 31 is moved, the elastic driving gear 51 is driven to rotate, so as to couple the test tube 31 to rotate counterclockwise and drive the power storage wheel 42 to rotate and start to store energy. As the energy is stored, the rotational force of the test tube 31 driven by the elastic driving gear 51 will increase, and the increased force will pull the elastic plate 40 to deform, so that the elastic driving gear 51 will drive the first end of the test tube 31 to move to the right end. When the moving test tube 31 is separated from the elastic driving gear 51, the test tube 31 will release the potential energy accumulated by the power storage wheel 42 to rotate clockwise, and then move to the left and then rotate counterclockwise again, and the cycle will be repeated to shake the bacterial colony in the test tube 31.

It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.

At this time, the test tube (31) moves along with the coupling of the elastic driving gear (51) to finally disengage from the elastic driving gear (51). After the disengagement, the elastic potential energy is completely released, and the elastic plate (40) drives the test tube (31) back to the coupled position to continue rotating.

As energy is stored, the rotational force of the test tube (31) driven by the elastic drive gear (51) will increase. The increased force will pull the elastic plate (40) to deform, so that the elastic drive gear (51) will drive the first end of the test tube (31) to move to the right.
