Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of constant temperature incubators, in particular to a constant temperature incubator. Background Art

[0002] Constant temperature incubator, also known as incubator, is a general term for a type of constant temperature chamber, which is widely used in medical and health, pharmaceutical industry, biochemistry, industrial production and agricultural science and other scientific research departments. Its main function is to provide a constant temperature environment for organisms such as microorganisms, tissues or cells to support their growth, reproduction or other biochemical reactions. Traditional constant temperature incubators are usually composed of an outer shell, an insulation layer, a box, a heating system, a control system and a ventilation system. The microorganisms to be cultured are placed inside the outer shell through a container, and after the box door is closed, the heating system, control system and ventilation system are used in conjunction to perform the culture operation;

[0003] However, existing constant temperature incubators can usually only provide a single constant temperature environment, which cannot meet the needs of culturing multiple microorganisms that require different temperature conditions and control experiments in the same device. This limitation forces researchers to use multiple incubators when conducting experiments on culturing multiple types of microorganisms, which not only increases the cost of the equipment, but also takes up more laboratory space. Therefore, a constant temperature incubator is proposed to address the above situation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the shortcomings of the prior art that usually only a single constant temperature environment can be provided and the demand for simultaneously culturing multiple microorganisms requiring different temperature conditions and control experiments in the same device is not met, and a constant temperature incubator is proposed.

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

[0006] A constant temperature incubator comprises a box body, wherein the box body has an inner cavity, a main box door is hinged on the box body, and a partition assembly is arranged in the inner cavity.

[0007] The partition assembly divides the inner cavity into a pair of culture chambers. The partition assembly includes a partition plate, which is arranged inside the inner cavity. A square hole is opened on the top of the partition plate, and an installation cavity is opened at one end of the partition plate. A sealing plate is arranged in the installation cavity.

[0008] A pair of rectangular grooves are formed on the outer surface of the main box door, and a secondary box door is hingedly connected to the outer surface of the main box door at positions corresponding to the pair of rectangular grooves.

[0009] A pair of constant temperature control devices are arranged on one side of the exterior of the box body, and the pair of constant temperature control devices respectively pass through the exterior of the box body and extend into corresponding culture chambers.

[0010] Preferably, a pair of sealing rubber strips are provided at one end of the partition board. The size of the installation cavity is larger than that of the square hole, and the partition board fits the surface of the installation cavity, which can prevent the temperatures in the pair of culture cavities from affecting each other.

[0011] Preferably, a pair of sealing grooves are provided on one side of the main box door, and an observation window is provided on the surface of the sub-box door.

[0012] Preferably, a placement seat is provided in the culture cavity, and a placement board is slidably fitted on the placement seat.

[0013] Preferably, an inverted "U" - shaped groove is provided on the placement seat, and sliding grooves are respectively provided at both ends of the inverted "U" - shaped groove. The placement board is engaged with the sliding grooves.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of ventilation holes are provided through the top of the placement seat.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. Through the design of structures such as the partition assembly, culture cavity, and constant - temperature control device, the device can create and maintain the required temperature conditions in different culture areas through zoning design and independent constant - temperature devices, so as to meet the growth requirements of different types of microorganisms. This greatly saves the equipment cost required in the experimental culture process and effectively saves laboratory space. At the same time, when culturing the same type of microorganism, when the plugging board is removed, the entire box is used as a whole, which is convenient for large - scale culture. When the plugging board is not removed, a comparative experiment of the same type of microorganism can be carried out. This flexible design enables the incubator to adapt to a variety of experimental scenarios and improves its practical application value.

[0017] 2. Through the structural design of the main box door, rectangular groove, and sub - box door, the staff can separately open the sub - box door of the corresponding culture cavity for material taking without disturbing the culture environment of other microorganisms, greatly reducing the risk of temperature fluctuation and external pollution. This not only improves the success rate of microorganism culture but also reduces the interference factors in the experimental process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

An installation cavity 202 is opened at one end of the partition board 201. The plugging board 203 is arranged in the installation cavity 202. A pair of sealing rubber strips 204 are arranged at one end of the partition board 201. The size of the installation cavity 202 is larger than that of the square hole. The surface of the partition board 201 is attached to the installation cavity 202, which can avoid the mutual influence of the temperatures in the pair of culture cavities 3.

[0026] A pair of rectangular grooves 401 are provided on the outer surface of the main box door 4, and a sub-box door 402 is hinged on the outer surface of the main box door 4 at positions corresponding to the pair of rectangular grooves 401. An observation window is arranged on the surface of the sub-box door 402, and a pair of sealing grooves 403 are provided on one side of the main box door 4. A pair of sealing strips 204 cooperate with the pair of sealing grooves 403 to ensure the sealing between the pair of culture chambers 3. Furthermore, after the main box door 4 is closed, the partition plate 201 and one end of the placement seat 5 are tightly fitted with the main box door 4. During the microbial cultivation process, there are certain differences in the cultivation time of different types of microorganisms and the same type of microorganisms under different temperature environments. Therefore, the staff can open the sub-box door 402 of the corresponding culture chamber 3 to take materials without interfering with the culture environment of other microorganisms, which greatly reduces the risk of temperature fluctuations and external pollution.
