Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microorganism cultivation, in particular to a microorganism cultivation box which is convenient for taking and placing. Background Art

[0002] An incubator is a temperature-controllable box device mainly used for cultivating microorganisms, plant and animal cells. Some have a two-way temperature control system for cooling and heating. It is a basic experimental equipment in scientific research departments such as biology, agriculture, medicine, and environmental protection, and is widely used in constant temperature culture, constant temperature reaction and other experiments.

[0003] Traditional incubators are equipped with multiple layers of trays for placing culture dishes inside the box. However, when operators take and place culture dishes, in order to increase the number of culture dishes placed, they often place multiple rows of culture dishes on top of the trays. This causes the operator to easily knock over the culture dishes in front when taking the culture dishes in the deep, causing the culture dishes to tip over and fall. The culture dishes in the back are easily blocked by the culture dishes in front, making it difficult for the operator to observe the conditions inside the culture dishes. In view of the above defects, we have proposed a microbial incubator that is easy to take and place. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a microorganism culture box which is easy to take out and put in, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A microorganism culture box that is easy to take and put, comprising a culture box, the inner wall of which is respectively provided with a lifting structure capable of lifting a culture dish, and a driving structure capable of driving the lifting structure to rotate;

[0007] The lifting structure includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the culture box, and a slide rail fixedly mounted on the inner annular surface of the culture box, a plurality of first trays are fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft at equal intervals, a second tray is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail, and a connecting assembly is arranged between the first tray and the second tray;

[0008] The driving structure comprises a worm which is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the culture box, and a worm wheel which matches the worm is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the worm extends to the outside of the culture box and is provided with a knob.

[0010] Preferably, the shape of the bacteria culture box is set to be cylindrical, and a switch door is provided on the surface of the bacteria culture box.

[0011] Preferably, an annular sliding groove matched with the slide rail is formed on the outer annular surface of the first tray, and the inner annular surface of the second tray is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular sliding groove.

[0012] Preferably, the upper surfaces of the first tray and the second tray are both provided with a plurality of culture dish limiting grooves in a circumferential array.

[0013] Preferably, the connection assembly includes a latch inserted into the upper surface of the second tray, a plurality of first slots adapted to the latch are equidistantly formed on the upper surface of the first tray, and a second slot adapted to the latch is formed on the upper surface of the slide rail.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The utility model provides a lifting structure and a driving structure. After the culture dishes are placed on the first tray and the second tray, there is no need to place the culture dishes on the culture dish limiting groove on the second tray near the second slot. This position is the taking operation opening. When the operator needs to take the culture dishes deep in the first tray, the driving structure can be used to drive the first tray to rotate, so that the required culture dishes are rotated to the position of the taking operation opening, and the operator can take out the culture dishes on the first tray along the taking operation opening, thereby avoiding the risk of touching other culture dishes and causing them to fall. At the same time, when the driving structure drives the first tray to rotate, the operator can observe the status of the culture dishes in the first tray. When it is necessary to take or observe the status of the culture dishes in the second tray, the connecting component can be used to connect the first tray and the second tray as a whole, so that the first tray can drive the second tray to rotate when rotating, and then it is convenient for the operator to observe the status of the culture dishes on the second tray.

[0016] 2. The utility model is provided with a rotating shaft, which can drive multiple first trays and second trays to rotate synchronously. Therefore, the operator can place a group of culture dishes on multiple first trays or multiple second trays in the longitudinal direction. When the operator needs to take a group of culture dishes, the rotating shaft can drive the first tray and the second tray to rotate synchronously, so that the group of culture dishes can be rotated to a position facing the operator at the same time, thereby facilitating the operator to take them.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 A microbial culture box that is easy to take and put includes a culture box 1, the shape of the culture box 1 is set to be cylindrical, and a switch door 8 is set on the surface of the culture box 1, and the inner wall of the culture box 1 is respectively provided with a lifting structure that can lift the culture dish, and a driving structure that can drive the lifting structure to rotate.

[0026] The lifting structure includes a rotating shaft 2 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the culture box 1, and a slide rail 3 fixedly mounted on the inner annular surface of the culture box 1. A plurality of first trays 4 are fixedly mounted at equal intervals on the surface of the rotating shaft 2. A second tray 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 3. An annular groove matching the slide rail 3 is provided on the outer annular surface of the first tray 4. The inner annular surface of the second tray 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove. The annular groove can support the second tray 5 and improve the stability of the second tray 5. A plurality of culture dish limiting grooves 9 are provided on the upper surfaces of the first tray 4 and the second tray 5 in a circular array. The culture dish limiting grooves 9 can limit the culture dishes.

[0027] The driving structure includes a worm 6 rotatably mounted on the inner bottom wall of the culture box 1, and a worm wheel 7 adapted to the worm 6 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft 2. One end of the worm 6 extends to the outside of the culture box 1 and is provided with a knob. Turning the knob can drive the worm 6 to rotate, and the worm wheel 7 is meshed with the worm 6 to drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate.

[0028] After placing the culture dishes on the first tray 4 and the second tray 5, there is no need to place the culture dishes on the culture dish limiting groove 9 on the second tray 5 close to the second slot 12. This position is the taking operation port. When the operator needs to take the culture dishes deep in the first tray 4, the driving structure can be used to drive the first tray 4 to rotate so that the required culture dishes are rotated to the position of the taking operation port. The operator can take out the culture dishes on the first tray 4 along the taking operation port, thereby avoiding the risk of touching other culture dishes on the second tray 5 and causing them to fall.

[0029] A connection assembly is provided between the first tray 4 and the second tray 5, and the connection assembly includes a latch 10 inserted on the upper surface of the second tray 5, and a plurality of first slots 11 adapted to the latch 10 are provided on the upper surface of the first tray 4 at equal intervals, and a second slot 12 adapted to the latch 10 is provided on the upper surface of the slide rail 3. When the latch 10 is inserted into the first slot 11, the latch 10 can connect the first tray 4 and the second tray 5 as a whole, and when the latch 10 is inserted into the second slot 12, the first tray 4 and the second tray 5 will be separated, and the second tray 5 will be connected to the slide rail 3 as a whole. This can prevent the second tray 5 from rotating when the first tray 4 rotates.

[0030] When the driving structure drives the first tray 4 to rotate, the operator can observe the status of the culture dishes in the first tray 4. When it is necessary to take out or observe the status of the culture dishes in the second tray 5, the first tray 4 and the second tray 5 can be connected as a whole by using the connecting component, so that the first tray 4 can drive the second tray 5 to rotate when rotating, and the operator can conveniently observe the status of the culture dishes on the second tray 5.

[0031] The rotating shaft 2 can be used to drive multiple first trays 4 and second trays 5 to rotate synchronously, so the operator can place a group of culture dishes on multiple first trays 4 or multiple second trays 5 in the longitudinal direction. When the operator needs to take a group of culture dishes, the rotating shaft 2 can be used to drive the first tray 4 and the second tray 5 to rotate synchronously, so that the group of culture dishes can be rotated to a position facing the operator at the same time, thereby facilitating the operator to take them.

[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
