[0003] When the culture box is used to culture mold, it needs to be relatively closed, and when observing the mold growth state in the culture dish, the door of the culture box needs to be frequently opened, which leads to the entry of external air into the culture box, changes the culture environment, and unstable culture environment affects the growth of mold. At present, the mold culture state is usually observed through the glass on the door of the device, but the existing mold culture device usually uses static culture method to culture multiple culture dishes at multiple layers, and it is not possible to set all the doors as glass, otherwise it will affect the heat preservation performance and safety performance of the culture box. Therefore, it is not easy to see all the mold culture states when observing from the outside of the local glass, and the fixed culture dishes will lead to uneven mold growth, resulting in poor consistency of mold culture results and affecting the reliability of research and production.

[0015] Furthermore, the guide block is provided with an inclined groove, and the guide block is in sliding connection with the adjacent clamping rod through the inclined groove.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: 1. The present invention utilizes the cultivation plate to drive the culture dish to rotate to the highest point of the gear ring, and then observes the cultivation status of the mold in the culture dish through the glass. The mold cultivation status of the culture dish can be observed globally without opening the box door, which maintains a relatively closed cultivation environment and improves the comprehensiveness of observation.

[0017] 2. The present invention rotates the cultivation plate, and the cultivation plate always remains parallel to the ground through the self-balancing principle, so that the mold is in a dynamic cultivation process of continuous slow and steady rotation, avoiding being fixed in a certain position of the incubator, resulting in inconsistent local factors and affecting the results of mold cultivation, and reducing the impact of cultivation environment factors on the cultivation results.

[0019] 4. The present invention utilizes the cooperation of magnets and magnetic blocks so that when the culture plate drives the culture dish to rotate to the highest point, the culture dish will tilt slightly forward, making it easier for staff to better observe the mold growth in the culture dish. When observation is not required, the culture dish can be kept stable on the culture plate by controlling the nut, taking into account the needs of convenient observation and stable placement.

[0020] 5. After the culture is completed, the present invention supports the culture plate through the support frame to prevent the culture plate from shaking when the culture dish is taken out after the box door is opened, thereby improving the stability of taking out. When the box door is closed, the fixed block contacts the support frame and squeezes the support frame to move backward and away from the culture plate, which does not affect the subsequent rotation of the culture plate.

[0021] 6. When opening the door, the ring frame is locked by the guide block and the card rod to prevent the ring frame from sliding freely in the ring track under external force factors. When closing the door, the guide block squeezes the card rod through the inclined groove to slide to the side away from the ring frame, releasing the lock of the ring frame, simplifying the subsequent operation steps and making it convenient and practical.

[0037] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings.

[0038] Example 1: A culture box for observing the culture state of mold fungus at regular intervals, as shown in Fig. 1, comprises a culture box 1, a box door 2, a glass 201, a motor 3, a gear 4, a gear ring 5, a culture plate 6, a balance block 7, a ring rail 8, a ring frame 9, a supporting block 10, a magnet 11, a tension spring 12, a push block 13, a magnetic block 14, a rotating plate 15, a screw rod 151, a nut 152, a supporting frame 16, a first spring 17, a fixing block 18, a guide block 19, a second spring 20, and a clamping rod 21. Figures 1-4As shown, including the incubator 1, the front side of the incubator 1 is rotatably connected with the door 2, the middle of the door 2 is fixedly connected with the glass 201, the lower part of the rear side inner wall of the incubator 1 is fixedly connected with the motor 3, the output shaft of the motor 3 is fixedly connected with the gear 4, the rear side inner wall of the incubator 1 is rotatably connected with the gear ring 5, the gear ring 5 is vertically distributed with the ground, the gear 4 is engaged with the gear ring 5, the gear ring 5 is uniformly provided with four circumferentially distributed incubation plates 6 through bearings, the incubation plate 6 is used for placing the culture dish, the incubation plate 6 is parallelly distributed with the ground, the incubation plate 6 is provided with uniformly distributed circular holes, the incubation plate 6 is fixedly connected with the balance block 7 which is symmetrically distributed along the left and right sides of the incubation plate 6.

[0039] Firstly, open the door 2, place the culture dish on each incubation plate 6, then close the door 2, and then start the motor 3, so that the output shaft of the motor 3 drives the gear 4 to rotate slowly, thereby driving the gear ring 5 to rotate slowly, and further driving the incubation plate 6 to rotate slowly. According to the self-balancing principle, the gear ring 5 is connected with the incubation plate 6 through the bearing, so that the incubation plate 6 can freely rotate according to the action of gravity and automatically adjust to the lowest potential state, that is, parallel to the ground. In this way, the incubation plate 6 can automatically swing to a state parallel to the ground when rotating to any position. During the rotation process, the balance block 7 can balance the weight distribution of the incubation plate 6, so that the incubation plate 6 is more stable during rotation, which helps to reduce the vibration and unbalanced moment of the incubation plate 6 during rotation. When the incubation plate 6 drives the culture dish to rotate to the highest point of the gear ring 5, the staff can regularly observe the culture state of the mold in the culture dish through the glass 201, without the need to open the door 2. During the culture process, the mold is always in a relatively closed culture environment. In addition, the mold is in a dynamic incubation process of continuous slow rotation, avoiding being fixed at a certain position of the incubator 1, which may cause inconsistent local factors and affect the consistency of mold culture results. The influence of the culture environment factors on the culture results is reduced. After the culture is completed, the motor 3 is turned off, the door 2 is opened, and the culture dish is taken out.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 It also includes an annular track 8 fixedly connected to one side of the door 2 close to the incubation plate 6, an annular frame 9 slidably connected in the annular track 8, a supporting block 10 fixedly connected to the front side of the incubation plate 6, and the supporting block 10 is engaged with the annular frame 9.

[0041] When the door 2 is opened and closed, the annular track 8 and the annular frame 9 move with the door 2. When the door 2 is closed, the annular frame 9 is inserted into the corresponding supporting block 10. During the rotation of the incubation plate 6, the supporting block 10 rotates synchronously with the incubation plate 6, and the supporting block 10 drives the annular frame 9 to slide in the annular track 8. In this way, the annular frame 9 supports and balances the front side of the incubation plate 6, preventing the incubation plate 6 from being unbalanced during rotation, thereby avoiding the culture dish from falling.

[0042] Embodiment 2: on the basis of embodiment 1, as shown in Figures 7-10 The magnet 11 is slidably embedded in the rear wall of the incubator 1, the magnet 11 is located at the highest point of the gear ring 5, the magnet 11 is fixedly connected with the incubator 1 through the tension spring 12, the rear side of the incubation plate 6 is slidably connected with the push block 13 in the front-rear direction by embedding, the side of the incubation plate 6 close to the push block 13 is fixedly connected with the magnetic block 14, the magnetic block 14 cooperates with the magnet 11 through magnetic attraction when rotating to the magnet 11, the rear side of the incubation plate 6 is rotationally connected with the rotating plate 15, the front side of the push block 13 and the rear side of the rotating plate 15 are both provided with inclined surfaces, and the push block 13 cooperates with the adjacent rotating plate 15 through the inclined surfaces.

[0043] When the culture dish is placed on the incubation plate 6, the rear side of the bottom of the culture dish cooperates with the inclined surface of the front side of the rotating plate 15, when the incubation plate 6 rotates to the highest point with the culture dish, the magnet 11 moves forward under the action of the magnetic attraction of the magnetic block 14, the tension spring 12 is stretched, the magnet 11 moves to the push block 13 and pushes the push block 13 to move forward, the push block 13 extrudes the rotating plate 15 to rotate upward through the inclined surface on the front side, so that the culture dish is slightly inclined forward when rotating to the highest point, which is convenient for the staff to observe, when the incubation plate 6 continues to rotate away from the highest point, the magnet 11 moves backward under the action of the tension spring 12, the rotating plate 15 swings downward under the action of gravity and extrudes the push block 13 to move backward to reset.

[0044] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 10 The screw rod 151 is fixedly connected with the magnet 11, the screw rod 151 penetrates through the tension spring 12 and the rear wall of the incubator 1, the rear part of the screw rod 151 is threadedly connected with the nut 152, and the nut 152 is located outside the incubator 1.

[0045] When observation is not needed, the culture dish does not need to be inclined forward, at this time, the nut 152 can be screwed to move forward to contact the rear wall of the incubator 1, so that the screw rod 151 cannot move forward, and thus the magnet 11 cannot move forward under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic block 14, when observation is needed, the nut 152 is loosened to be separated from the rear wall of the incubator 1, so that the magnet 11 can move forward with the screw rod 151 under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic block 14, so that the culture dish is slightly inclined forward only when mold is observed by controlling the nut 152, and the culture dish is kept stable on the incubation plate 6 when rotating normally, which takes into account the convenience of observation and stable placement.

[0046] Embodiment 3: on the basis of embodiment 2, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the device further comprises a support frame 16 which is slidingly connected to the rear side of the incubator 1, the support frame 16 is used to support the incubation plate 6, and the support frame 16 and the incubator 1 are fixedly connected with the first spring 17 which is symmetrically distributed along the left and right sides of the incubator 1, and the box door 2 is fixedly connected with the fixed block 18 which is symmetrically distributed along the left and right sides of the box door 2, when the box door 2 is closed, the fixed block 18 is in extrusion fit with the support frame 16.

[0047] After the culture is completed, the motor 3 is first controlled to drive the gear ring 5 to rotate the incubation plate 6 to the initial state, then the box door 2 is opened, the box door 2 drives the fixed block 18 to disengage from the support frame 16, under the resetting action of the first spring 17, the support frame 16 slides forward to contact the rear side of the bottom of each incubation plate 6 to support the incubation plate 6, preventing the incubation plate 6 from shaking when the culture dish is taken after the box door 2 is opened, improving the stability of taking, and when the box door 2 is closed, the fixed block 18 contacts the support frame 16 and extrudes the support frame 16 to move backward to disengage from the incubation plate 6, the first spring 17 is compressed, thus, it does not affect the subsequent rotation of the incubation plate 6.

[0048] As shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 The device further comprises a guide block 19 corresponding to the fixed block 18, the guide block 19 is slidingly connected into the corresponding fixed block 18 in an embedded manner, the guide block 19 and the corresponding fixed block 18 are fixedly connected with the second spring 20, the guide block 19 is provided with an inclined slot, the guide block 19 is slidingly connected with the clamping rod 21 through the inclined slot, the clamping rod 21 is slidingly connected with the annular rail 8, and the clamping rod 21 is used to clamp the annular frame 9.

[0049] When the incubation plate 6 is rotated to the initial state, the incubation plate 6 is rotated to the initial state through the support block 10 and the annular frame 9, then when the box door 2 is opened, the fixed block 18 drives the guide block 19, the second spring 20 and the clamping rod 21 to move together with the box door 2, so that the guide block 19 disengages from the support frame 16, under the resetting action of the second spring 20, the guide block 19 extrudes the clamping rod 21 through the inclined slot to slide to the side close to the annular frame 9 to lock the annular frame 9, preventing the annular frame 9 from sliding in the annular rail 8 under external force after the box door 2 is opened, thus, when new mold is cultured again, the annular frame 9 and the support block 10 do not need to be adjusted and aligned again, which is simple and convenient, and before the support frame 16 contacts the fixed block 18 when the box door 2 is closed, the guide block 19 first contacts the support frame 16, so that the guide block 19 slides into the fixed block 18, the second spring 20 is compressed, the guide block 19 extrudes the clamping rod 21 through the inclined slot to slide to the side away from the annular frame 9 to unlock the annular frame 9, thus, it does not affect the subsequent sliding of the annular frame 9 in the annular rail 8.
