DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] Figures 1 to 8 It is the best embodiment of the utility model, and the following Figures 1 to 8 The utility model is further described.
[0027] Reference Figure 1~2 The multifunctional biosafety cage changing workstation comprises a support frame 1, a biosafety cabinet, a workspace component and a primary filter 3. The biosafety cabinet is placed on the support frame 1, the workspace component is arranged in the biosafety cabinet, the primary filter 3 is arranged in the biosafety cabinet, and the primary filter 3 is arranged on the lower side of the workspace component.
[0028] The support frame 1 includes a chassis 6, a tray 7, casters 8 and a lifting mechanism. The H-shaped chassis 6 is welded from a square steel frame. The H-shaped chassis 6 can reduce weight while ensuring stability, and at the same time reserve space for the operator to stand or sit for operation. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting column 9, which is arranged between the chassis 6 and the tray 7. The lifting column 9 drives the tray 7 to rise and fall, and can complete the adjustment of the height of the equipment to meet different usage requirements, such as the height required by operators sitting, standing or of different heights. Four casters 8 are arranged on the lower side of the chassis 6, and the entire equipment can be moved. The biosafety cabinet is placed on the tray 7, and a socket 701 is arranged on the tray 7. A plug column 201 is arranged at the bottom of the biosafety cabinet, and the plug column 201 is installed in the socket 701, which facilitates the rapid disassembly and assembly of the biosafety cabinet and the support frame 1.
[0029] Reference Figures 3-5The biological safety cabinet includes a main frame 2, a filter system, a static pressure box 11, a front window lifting system 12 and a front door assembly 13. The main frame 2 is provided with two layers, the filter system and the static pressure box 11 are provided on the upper layer. The front window lifting system 12 and the front door assembly 13 are provided on the front side of the main frame 2, and the front door assembly 13 is provided on the upper side of the front window lifting system 12.
[0030] The front window lifting system 12 is composed of tempered glass, steel wire rope, and counterweight plate. After the tempered glass is opened, it can slide up and down to form different heights. The front window lifting system 12 is an air inlet of the work area component.
[0031] A high-definition touch screen and an electrical box are installed in the front door assembly 13, which can be flipped upwards and opened for maintenance.
[0032] The filtration system includes an air inlet high efficiency filter 14 and an air exhaust high efficiency filter 15 . The air inlet high efficiency filter 14 is arranged at the lower side of the static pressure box 11 , and the air exhaust high efficiency filter 15 is arranged at the upper side of the static pressure box 11 .
[0033] The static pressure box 11 is a closed box with holes opened on the side and a fan installed therein. The fan takes air from the outside of the static pressure box 11 and blows it into the static pressure box 11 to form an air duct system of the equipment.
[0034] The air inlet high efficiency filter 14 is arranged at the lower side of the static pressure box 11 to ensure that the airflow entering the working area is clean airflow, and the return air high efficiency filter 15 is arranged at the lower side of the exhaust port to make the airflow discharged into the room clean and pollution-free.
[0035] The work area assembly is arranged at the lower layer of the main frame 2. The work area assembly includes a work surface and a work chamber 5. The work chamber 5 is made of a U-shaped stainless steel plate. The U-shaped stainless steel plate is arranged horizontally. The work chamber 5 is fitted with the cabinet walls on both sides of the biological safety cabinet so that the upper, lower and front sides of the work chamber 5 are opened. The air inlet high efficiency filter 14 is arranged on the upper side of the work chamber 5 to cover the upper side opening. The lower side of the air inlet high efficiency filter 14 is provided with a diffuser 17. The diffuser 17 is made of uniform small holes on an aluminum plate, and the air flow can be more uniform and stable when passing through. The gas in the static pressure box 11 flows through the air inlet high efficiency filter 14 and then enters the work chamber 5 through the diffuser 17. The front window lifting system 12 is arranged on the front side of the work chamber 5 to cover the opening on the front side. The tempered glass slides up and down to facilitate the operator to perform different functional operations. When the front window lifting system 12 is opened, the gas also enters the work chamber 5 from the front window lifting system 12. The primary filter 3 is arranged on the lower side of the work surface, covering the lower opening. A certain space is left between the primary filter 3 and the lower cabinet wall of the biological safety cabinet as a return air channel. A certain space is also left between the rear side of the working chamber 5 and the biological safety cabinet as a return air channel. A filter hole 401 connected to the primary filter 3 is arranged between the work surface and the working chamber 5. The gas in the working chamber 5 flows through the primary filter 3 and then flows upward through the return air channel, and then flows out from the exhaust port after passing through the exhaust high-efficiency filter 15.
[0036] The work surface is provided with a filter hole 401, and the work surface can intercept part of the fallen bedding when changing cages, and the gas containing dust and bedding is filtered through the primary filter 3. The filter wire mesh 16 is arranged in the return air channel on the side of the biological safety cabinet, fixed on the work surface, and arranged between the primary filter 3 and the air inlet high efficiency filter 14. The filter wire mesh 16 is woven from φ3mm steel wire and serves as the second barrier of the air duct system, thereby preventing dirty gas from entering the air duct, protecting the fan, and increasing the service life of the exhaust high efficiency filter 15.
[0037] The work area is also equipped with ultraviolet lamps, lighting lamps, wind speed sensors and sockets. An external disinfection interface is reserved on the side, which can be connected to hydrogen peroxide and other disinfection equipment to complete the disinfection of the entire equipment.
[0038] Reference Figures 6-8 The work surface includes a male plate 4 and a female plate 10. The male plate 4 is a concave plate, and the female plate 10 is a concave plate with multiple grooves. In this embodiment, the female plate 10 is provided with four grooves, and the male plate 4 is embedded in the grooves of the female plate 10, that is, the work surface is divided into four working areas. The female plate 10 is detachably mounted on the working cavity 5, and the male plate 4 is detachably mounted on the female plate 10. Multiple filtering holes 401 are provided on the lower sides of the male plate 4 and the female plate 10.
[0039] There are three placement modes for the work surface: the first is that the motherboard 10 is at the bottom, the male board 4 is embedded in the groove of the motherboard 10, and the work surface is flat. This mode is suitable for the biological safety cabinet mode to do some operation experiments.
[0040] The second is that the motherboard 10 is not moved, the male board 4 is removed, and the entire work surface becomes a plane with grooves. This working mode can be used when changing cages to prevent the padding from spilling. The first and second modes can be switched quickly, which is suitable for scenes where the two working modes are frequently switched.
[0041] The third mode is to remove the male board 4 and install the mother board 10 by 180 degrees, so that the entire table is a flat surface. This scenario is suitable for biological experiments that do not frequently switch working modes and are only used for plane experiments and have high requirements for table flatness.
