Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microbial cultivation, in particular to a storage-type microbial intelligent cultivation box. Background Art

[0002] Microbial incubator is a common laboratory equipment, which is mainly used to provide a stable temperature environment to simulate the ideal conditions for microbial growth, thereby promoting the cultivation and reproduction of various microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, and mold; it can be used for clinical medicine, scientific research, quality control, teaching experiments, and microbial culture experiments in industrial production processes. Among them, the demand for incubator volume varies greatly for laboratories or medical institutions of different sizes. Small laboratories may require compact designs due to limited space, while large laboratories may require large-volume incubators to meet batch sample cultivation; and the storage capacity of common incubators on the market is simply proportional to the size of the incubator, which results in more space being occupied and inconvenient for transportation, installation, and later mobile maintenance.

[0003] However, for use scenarios such as hospitals, multiple samples are usually processed at the same time, so a large-capacity incubator is needed to meet daily inspection needs. The incubators used in hospitals are generally compactly placed in special equipment rooms or laboratories, so there are many requirements for the appearance and volume of the equipment, such as: it is necessary to consider factors such as external space occupancy, internal space utilization, and operational convenience. However, existing products may not meet users' personalized needs for volume size. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN219886089U discloses an intelligent microbial incubator, the storage device inside the incubator adopts a turntable structure, and the culture dishes are placed in sequence on the circumference of the turntable frame; however, in actual use, the above-mentioned incubator still has problems such as small loading capacity, low internal space utilization, and inconvenient maintenance. Utility Model Content
