[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0016] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown,
[0017] A cell culture workstation capable of dehumidification, preheating and disinfection, comprises a box body 1, an incubator 2 arranged on the box body 1, and a heatable disinfection component 3, a dehumidification device 4, a high-pressure fan 5, an air inlet pipe 6 and an air outlet pipe 7 are also arranged in the box body 1, the high-pressure fan 5 and the disinfection component 3 are both connected to the incubator 2 through the air inlet pipe 6, and the incubator 2 is connected to the high-pressure fan 5 through the air outlet pipe 7; the dehumidification device 4 is located between the incubator 2 and the high-pressure fan 5, and is connected through the air outlet pipe 7; the high-pressure fan 5 forms a circulation through the air inlet pipe 6, the incubator 2, the air outlet pipe 7, and the dehumidification device 4, and dehumidifies; the high-pressure fan 5 also forms a circulation through the disinfection component 3, the air inlet pipe 6, the incubator 2, and the air outlet pipe 7, and disinfects.
[0018] In this solution, the disinfection component 3 has a heating function, and a disinfection component 3 is used to heat and evaporate the disinfection liquid.
[0019] When in use, first ensure that the incubator 2 is in the closed state, and then use the high-pressure fan 5 to drive the air circulation. The circulating air can be dehumidified by the dehumidification device 4, and the dehumidification step is completed after multiple cycles. Then you can choose to start the disinfection component 3 (no disinfection liquid is added at this time) for heating. This heating effect can heat the air. When the high-pressure fan 5 is used for air circulation, the air outlet pipe 7, the air inlet pipe 6, and the incubator 2 can be preheated. Of course, this step is an optional step, which can facilitate the subsequent disinfection steam to reduce the problem of condensation into liquid during disinfection. In fact, the disinfection step and the dehumidification step can be interchanged, for example, heating and preheating are performed first, then disinfection is performed, and finally dehumidification is performed.
[0020] Through the above-mentioned treatment, the environment in the incubator 2 can be placed in a better sterile and dry state.
[0021] In a further configuration, the high-pressure fan 5 is connected to the air inlet pipe 6 through a first valve 81 , and the disinfection component 3 is connected to the air inlet pipe 6 through a second valve 82 .
[0022] The first valve 81 and the second valve 82 can be used to switch the passage to avoid confusion in the air circulation. After the first valve 81 is opened, the wind of the high-pressure fan 5 can be used to start the air circulation to produce a drying effect. After the second valve 82 is opened, the wind of the high-pressure fan 5 can drive the disinfection steam of the disinfection component 3 to perform a disinfection cycle. By controlling the two valves, the air circulation of the high-pressure fan 5 can be switched, thereby reducing the additional high-pressure fan 5 settings.
[0023] In order to further facilitate the formation of circulation, the air outlet pipe 7 is connected to the dehumidification device 4 through the third valve 83, and the dehumidification device is also connected to a bypass pipe 9, one end of the bypass pipe 9 is connected to the high-pressure blower 5, and the other end is connected to the air outlet pipe 7 through the fourth valve 84. In this setting, the third valve 83 can be opened when dehumidification is needed, so that the air circulation can pass through the dehumidification device 4 for dehumidification, and the fourth valve 84 can be opened to form a disinfection cycle with the bypass pipe 9 in conjunction with the disinfection component 3. This step can extend the service life of the dehumidification device 4, reduce the drying cycle, and also prevent the dehumidification device 4 from affecting the disinfection effect of the disinfection steam during the circulation.
[0024] In order to facilitate dehumidification, the dehumidification device 4 includes a housing and a dehumidifier disposed in the housing, and the air outlet pipe 7 is connected to the housing through the third valve 83. The dehumidification effect of the dehumidifier is more direct, and the cost is lower. It can be reused by drying, and the structure is simple. In addition, the use of the third valve 83 and the fourth valve 84 can greatly increase the service life of the dehumidifier.
[0025] As shown in the figure, a filter 10 is provided between the first valve 81, the second valve 82 and the air inlet pipe 6, or
[0026] The air inlet pipe 6 is provided with a filter 10 .
[0027] The filter 10 can filter out impurities and bacteria in the air during the circulation process, further improving the environment of the incubator 2 .
[0028] Specifically, the disinfection component 3 includes a sealed cavity and a heating component, the sealed cavity is connected to the high-pressure fan 5, and is also connected to the second valve 82, and the heating component is used to evaporate the disinfection liquid. The sealed cavity can be connected to a conduit for entering the disinfection liquid, through which the disinfection liquid is injected into the heating component, and diffused and disinfected by rapid evaporation in conjunction with the high-pressure fan 5. The effect is more direct, and the heating component can be preheated in conjunction with air circulation.
[0029] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
