[0002] In today's biosafety field, biological safety cabinets play a vital role. They provide researchers with a necessary safety protection environment to conduct experiments with potentially hazardous substances. However, existing biological safety cabinets face a technical challenge during use: in order to ensure the vacuum environment of the experiment, these devices need to have extremely high sealing performance. Unfortunately, most of the biological safety cabinets on the market currently have certain deficiencies in this regard. This lack of sealing performance directly affects the operating effect of the equipment, which may not only affect the experimental results, but more importantly, it may increase the risk of operators being exposed to hazardous substances.

This not only interferes with the accuracy of the experiment, but also may cause safety hazards if harmful or volatile biological materials are involved. Existing equipment still has defects in sealing technology, which may be due to design deficiencies or limitations in manufacturing materials and processes. Therefore, in order to improve the use effect of biosafety cabinets, ensure the accuracy of experiments and the safety of operators, it is urgent to develop and improve existing sealing technologies to enhance the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.

The vacuum tube 2 is mounted on the cabinet body 1, one end of the air suction tube 3 is connected to the vacuum tube 2, and the other end of the air suction tube 3 is connected to the external device. The cone sleeve 4 is mounted in the vacuum tube 2, the threaded sleeve 5 is threadedly connected in the vacuum tube 2, the intermediate disk 8 is coaxially mounted in the vacuum tube 2, the one-way disk 7 is pressed on the intermediate disk 8, one end of the spring 6 is connected to the threaded sleeve 5, and the other end of the spring 6 is pressed on the one-way disk 7, the adjustment mechanism and the sliding mechanism are respectively mounted on the vacuum tube 2, the threaded sleeve 5 is provided with a hexagonal groove 9, the sliding mechanism comprises a guide disk 10 and a guide strip 11, the guide strip 11 is mounted on the inner wall of the vacuum tube 2, The disk 10 is slidably connected in the vacuum tube 2, a plurality of guide strips 11 are provided, and the plurality of guide strips 11 are equidistantly arranged, a guide groove 12 is provided on the guide disk 10, and the guide strip 11 is slidably connected in the guide groove 12, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment tube 13, the adjustment tube 13 is installed on the one-way disk 7, and the adjustment tube 13 is slidably connected in the threaded sleeve 5, a telescopic sleeve 14 is threadedly provided on the outer wall of the adjustment tube 13, a thrust bearing 15 is provided on the telescopic sleeve 14, a sealing disk 16 is provided on the thrust bearing 15, and the sealing disk 16 is attached to the guide disk 10, a compression spring 101 is installed on the guide disk 10, and the compression spring 101 abuts against the lower end surface of the intermediate disk 8, an intermediate rod 17 is rotatably provided in the adjustment tube 13, a rotating head 18 is provided on the intermediate rod 17, the rotating head 18 is attached to the adjustment tube 13, an insertion rod 19 is provided on the rotating head 18, and the insertion rod 19 is slidably connected in the telescopic sleeve 14.

[0030] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to evacuate the cabinet 1, air is first sucked in through the suction pipe 3 by external equipment, and then when the negative pressure exceeds the elastic force of the spring 6, the seal between the one-way disk 7 and the middle disk 8 will be released, and then the one-way disk 7 will slide upward. At this time, the sealing disk 16 and the telescopic sleeve 14 will fit each other, and then when the negative pressure is still greater than the elastic force of the compression spring 101, the seal between the guide disk 10 and the sealing disk 16 will be released, and then the guide disk 10 will slide upward, and then the seal between the guide disk 10 and the sealing disk 16 will be released, and then the negative pressure process can be carried out. Due to the double seal between the guide disk 10 and the one-way disk 7, the sealing effect is guaranteed.

[0031] More specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the pressure of the spring 6, first, the threaded sleeve 5 can be driven to rotate by rotating the hexagonal slot 9, so as to adjust the pressure between the one-way disk 7 and the intermediate disk 8. When it is necessary to adjust the pressure between the guide disk 10 and the sealing disk 16, first fix the adjusting tube 13, and then rotate the intermediate rod 17. Since the insertion rod 19 is rotatably connected to the telescopic sleeve 14, the telescopic sleeve 14 can be threadedly connected to the adjusting tube 13. Therefore, the upper and lower positions of the telescopic sleeve 14 can be adjusted, and then the pressure of the compression spring 101 is changed, thereby completing the adjustment process.

[0032] In summary, when the overall equipment is in use or running: when it is necessary to evacuate the cabinet 1, air is first sucked in through the suction pipe 3 through external equipment, and then when the negative pressure exceeds the elastic force of the spring 6, the seal between the one-way disk 7 and the middle disk 8 will be released, and then the one-way disk 7 will slide upward. At this time, the sealing disk 16 and the telescopic sleeve 14 will fit each other, and then when the negative pressure is still greater than the elastic force of the compression spring 101, the seal between the guide disk 10 and the sealing disk 16 will be released, and then the guide disk 10 will slide upward, and then the seal between the guide disk 10 and the sealing disk 16 will be released, and then the negative pressure process can be carried out. The double seal between the disk 10 and the one-way disk 7 ensures the sealing effect. When the pressure of the spring 6 needs to be adjusted, the threaded sleeve 5 can be driven to rotate by rotating the hexagonal groove 9, so as to adjust the pressure between the one-way disk 7 and the middle disk 8. When the pressure between the guide disk 10 and the sealing disk 16 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting tube 13 is first fixed, and then the middle rod 17 is rotated. Since the insertion rod 19 is rotatably connected to the telescopic sleeve 14, the telescopic sleeve 14 can be threadedly connected to the adjusting tube 13. Therefore, the upper and lower positions of the telescopic sleeve 14 can be adjusted, and then the pressure of the compression spring 101 is changed, thereby completing the adjustment process.
