Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of strain culture, and particularly to a structure of a strain constant temperature incubator that is convenient for taking and placing. Background Art

[0002] A strain constant temperature incubator is a laboratory device specifically designed for strain culture. It has a precise temperature control system that can maintain a constant temperature within a set range to meet the optimal temperature conditions for strain growth, and is an essential tool in microbiological research and laboratories.

[0003] During the use of existing strain constant temperature incubators, in order to promote the full mixing of the nutrient solution and the strains, it is often necessary to shake the culture container. However, to ensure the stability of the culture container during the shaking process, a clamping structure must be used to position it. Although this greatly improves the safety of the culture process, when removing the culture container, the user needs to first open the box door and then loosen the clamping structure before being able to perform the removal operation. This undoubtedly increases the operation steps and reduces the convenience of the strain constant temperature incubator during use, bringing additional trouble to the user. Summary of the Invention

After the culture is completed, unlock the lock, and then pull the culture box door 6 forward, so that it will drive the pick-up and placement slide rail 15, the culture medium plate 17 and the clamping slide plate 22 to move forward along the transmission guide plate 13 under the action of the connecting slider 16. During the movement, the driven column 26 will convert the forward movement force into an upward force by using the inclined groove of the transmission guide groove 14 and provide it to the clamping slide plate 22, so that the clamping slide plate 22 moves upward. At the same time, the conversion slide column 30 will cooperate with the inclined groove part of the stroke guide groove 28 and the spring B32 to drive the clamping plate 31 to move backward along the stroke guide groove 28, so that the clamping plate 31 moves backward while rising and moves away from the position directly above the culture bottle 19. In this way, after the culture box door 6 is opened, the present invention will automatically cancel the positioning of the culture bottle 19, facilitating the user to take the culture bottle 19.

[0024] Working principle of this embodiment: During use, first place the culture bottle 19 filled with strains and nutrient solution inside the installation card slot 18, and then push the culture chamber door 6 backward, causing the culture chamber door 6 to control multiple pick-and-place slide rails 15, culture medium plates 17, clamping slide plates 22, and culture bottle 19 to move backward along the transmission guide plate 13. During the movement, the driven column 26 will slide from the horizontal slot part of the transmission guide slot 14 into the inclined slot part, and use the inclination guidance of the inclined slot to convert the backward movement force into a downward force and provide it to the clamping slide plate 22, causing it to drive the stroke guide plate 27 and the clamping plate 31 to descend. During the descent, the conversion slide column 30 will slide from the inclined slot part of the conversion guide slot 21 into the vertical slot part, and use the inclination guidance of the inclined slot to convert the downward force into a forward movement force and provide it to the clamping plate 31, causing it to move forward while descending, so that the clamping plate 31 can clamp and position the culture bottle 19 from directly above. After the culture chamber door 6 is closed, the user can lock the culture chamber door 6 on the culture chamber body 1 through a lock, and then control the temperature control system inside the culture chamber body 1 through the temperature control device 2 to ensure that the temperature inside the culture chamber body 1 is appropriate. Then start the drive motor 3, causing it to drive the drive rotating shaft 9 and the drive cam 10 to rotate, so that the drive cam 10 intermittently applies a top thrust to the shaking slide rail 12, causing the shaking slide rail 12 to drive the transmission guide plate 13, pick-and-place slide rails 15, culture medium plates 17, and culture bottle 19 to shake, enhancing the culture efficiency of the strains. After the culture is completed, unlock the lock, and then pull the culture chamber door 6 forward, causing it to drive the pick-and-place slide rails 15, culture medium plates 17, and clamping slide plates 22 to move forward along the transmission guide plate 13 under the action of the connecting slider 16. During the movement, the driven column 26 will use the inclined slot of the transmission guide slot 14 to convert the forward movement force into an upward force and provide it to the clamping slide plate 22, causing the clamping slide plate 22 to move upward. At the same time, the conversion slide column 30 will use the inclined slot part of the stroke guide slot 28 and the spring B32 to cooperate to drive the clamping plate 31 to move backward along the stroke guide slot 28, causing the clamping plate 31 to move backward while rising, and move away from directly above the culture bottle 19. In this way, after the culture chamber door 6 is opened, the present invention will automatically cancel the positioning of the culture bottle 19, facilitating the user to take the culture bottle 19.
