[0002] With the development of cell biology, molecular biology, pharmacology and other disciplines, cell culture incubators have become one of the common instruments commonly used in biological laboratories. Among them, light-controlled cell culture incubators are one of the many types of cell culture incubators. The light-controlled cell culture box is a cell culture device that can precisely control the lighting conditions. It is used for cell culture. By controlling the light intensity, wavelength, time and other conditions, it studies the effects of light on cell proliferation, differentiation, gene expression, etc. It emits light of specific wavelengths through LED lights or other light sources to provide the required energy and signals for cell tissues, while simulating the light cycle of natural light or artificial light sources to adapt to the growth needs of different cell tissues.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese invention patent with announcement number CN112111388A discloses a light incubator, in which an interactive control module is used to receive instructions and control the operation of the light module and the inner cavity environment control module according to the instructions; the light module is arranged below the inner cavity, the light module is used to provide light, and the lower surface of the inner cavity is provided with a light-transmitting hole for the light to pass through; the inner cavity environment control module includes a temperature control component and an atmosphere control component, and the temperature control component and the atmosphere control component are respectively connected to the inner cavity; the inner cavity is used to place a cell plate or a culture dish; the light module, the inner cavity environment control module, and the inner cavity are all arranged in the box body, the interactive control module is arranged on the box body, and the upper surface of the box body is provided with an openable and closable box door, and the box door leads to the inner cavity.

[0004] Based on the prior art, it is found that the above patent still has the following deficiencies: due to the long-term operation of the illumination module, metabolic waste will be generated during the cell culture process, some of which are dispersed in the incubator in the form of aerosols. Over time, these tiny particles will adhere to the outer wall of the culture lamp. For example, the gaseous substances produced by the decomposition of organic matter such as proteins and amino acids will gradually deposit on the surface of the illumination module. At the same time, the relatively warm and humid environment in the incubator is conducive to the growth of microorganisms. Microorganisms in the air may adhere to and reproduce on the surface of the culture lamp to form a biofilm. After microorganisms such as bacteria and mold grow on the illumination module, they will form scale together with other impurities. At this time, the scale covers the outer wall of the illumination module, which will block the propagation of light and reduce the intensity of light reaching the cell culture area. This may affect the photosynthesis of cells (for plant cells or some algae cell cultures) or the light signal transmission process, thereby affecting the normal growth and metabolism of cells. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent light-controlled cell culture box to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0045] Working principle: When in use, first place the culture dish 36 in the placement groove 6 opened on the top of the placement plate 5. At this time, the culture dish 36 is completely located inside the placement groove 6, thereby ensuring that the culture dish 36 can remain stable during the subsequent circular motion of the placement plate 5. Then the staff turns on the culture lamp 11 and the first motor 7, and realizes continuous light culture of the cells in the culture dish 36 through the culture lamp 11. At the same time, during the illumination process, the second rotating rod 10 can be driven to rotate by the first motor 7. During the rotation of the second rotating rod 10, the placement plate 5 fixed on its circumferential outer wall can be driven to rotate together, so that the culture dishes 36 at different positions on the top of the placement plate 5 can be evenly illuminated by the culture lamp 11 to avoid the occurrence of blind spots in illumination. At the same time, the placement grooves 6 on the inner and outer sides of the placement plate 5 can facilitate the staff to set up a suitable control group during the cell culture process; When the cell culture work is completed, the staff starts the second motor 8, and the second motor 8 can drive the first rotating rod 9 to rotate.

During the process of the ejection assembly lifting the culture dish 36, the first rotating column 18 fixedly connected to the other end of the threaded screw 34 will also rotate together. Since the circumferential outer wall of the first rotating column 18 is fixedly connected to the first worm 16, and the first worm 16 and the first worm wheel 17 are meshed with each other, the first worm wheel 17 and the third rotating rod 14 can be driven to rotate together. During the rotation of the third rotating rod 14, the second worm 23 fixed on the outer wall thereof can be driven to rotate. At the same time, during the rotation of the second worm 23, the second worm wheel 24 can be driven to rotate together. At this time, the second worm wheel 24 can make the rotating shaft The cranks 26 at both ends make circular motion together. Since the end of the crank 26 away from the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 25, the crank 26 can drive the connecting rod 25 to make reciprocating motion during the circular motion. While the connecting rod 25 makes reciprocating motion, it can drive the cleaning component to move back and forth on the outer wall of the culture lamp 11, thereby cleaning the outer wall of the culture lamp 11, ensuring that the culture lamp 11 will not be scaled during long-term operation inside the box 1, so that the culture lamp 11 can always provide good lighting conditions, thereby improving the culture quality of cells in the entire incubator.
