[0028] like Figure 2As shown, in the mold incubator, the door lock 3 includes a rectangular lock body 18, which is vertically arranged in the middle of the door 7 and extends to the upper and lower sides of the door 7. Two lock cores are arranged in the lock body 18: an upper lock core 11 and a lower lock core 16, which are arranged at the upper and lower parts of the lock body 18 respectively, and two openings are opened on the side of the lock body 18, which correspond to the upper lock core 11 and the lower lock core 16 respectively.

[0029] An upper locking block 13 and a lower locking block 14 are respectively arranged on the side of the door 7, an annular upper locking ring 12 is also arranged on the side of the upper locking block 13, and an annular lower locking ring 15 is also arranged on the side of the lower locking block 14. When the door 7 is closed, the upper locking ring 12 enters the upper lock core 11 through the opening at the upper part of the lock body 18 and is locked by the lock tongue in the upper lock core 11, while the lower locking ring enters the lower lock core 16 through the opening at the lower part of the lock body 18 and is locked by the lock tongue in the lower lock core 16.

[0030] The structure of the door lock 3 can be implemented by a known structure in the art, such as the technical solution disclosed in the Chinese invention patent with application number 202110964604.8, application date August 20, 2021, and patent name "An electronic lock". Its specific working process and working principle are not repeated here. In this mold incubator, the door 7 is locked by the upper and lower lock cores in the lock body 18, so after locking, the sealing of the working cabin is guaranteed.

[0031] The surface of the lock body 18 is also provided with a sensing area 10, and a card reader is provided at the back of the sensing area 10. The card reader is implemented by using RFID radio frequency identification technology known in the art. A button 17 is provided below the sensing area 10. Figure 3 The control circuit arranged in the control box includes a controller, a button 17 and a signal output end of the card reader connected to a signal input end of the controller. A temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are also arranged in the working cabin, and the signal output ends of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are simultaneously connected to the signal input end of the controller.

[0032] The output end of the controller is connected to a heater, a refrigerator, a fan and a transducer respectively, wherein the heater is arranged on the outer wall of the working cabin in addition to the heater arranged on the inner side of the door 7. The fan is used to form air circulation in the working cabin so as to make the temperature and humidity in the working cabin uniform. The refrigerator and the transducer are arranged in the above-mentioned bottom box 8, wherein the refrigerator is realized by a compressor and a method of compressing refrigerant known in the art. A water tank is also arranged in the bottom box 8, and the transducer is arranged at the bottom of the water tank. The transducer is used to make the pure water in the water tank form water mist so as to adjust the humidity in the working cabin. A display screen connected to the controller is also arranged at the front face of the control box 1.

[0033] The specific working process and working principle are as follows:

[0034] When the mold incubator is in operation, the visual door 6 and the box door 7 are closed. After the box door 7 is closed, the upper lock ring 12 enters the upper lock core 11 through the opening at the upper part of the lock body 18 and is locked by the lock tongue in the upper lock core 11. At the same time, the lower lock ring enters the lower lock core 16 through the opening at the lower part of the lock body 18 and is locked by the lock tongue in the lower lock core 16. Therefore, the box door 7 is locked by the upper and lower lock cores in the lock body 18, thereby ensuring the sealing of the working cabin.

[0035] When the mold incubator is working, the controller adjusts the heater, the refrigerator and the transducer according to the data sent by the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor and according to the preset target temperature and target humidity, so that the target temperature and target humidity are reached in the working cabin, and under the action of the fan, air circulation is formed in the working cabin to maintain the target temperature and target humidity in the working cabin.

[0036] During the cultivation process, when it is necessary to temporarily open the door 7, the staff will place the radio frequency card with their personal information recorded in it in the sensing area 10 of the lock body 18. After reading the corresponding information, the card reader on the back side of the sensing area 10 sends the information to the controller, which makes information judgment. If the information is consistent, it is displayed on the display screen. At this time, the staff can press the button 17. After receiving the signal from the button 17, the controller sends a control signal to the drive mechanism (drive motor or electromagnet) in the upper lock core 11 and the lower lock core 16, and the upper lock ring 12 and the lower lock ring 15 in the upper lock core 11 and the lower lock core 16 are respectively unlocked. At this time, the door 7 can be unlocked. While the controller unlocks the upper lock ring 12 and the lower lock ring 15 through the upper lock core 11 and the lower lock core 16, it controls the fan to stop working, so as to reduce the influence of the outside world on the temperature and humidity in the working cabin after the door 7 (or / and the visual door 6) is opened. After the door 7 is closed, a signal can be sent to the controller by pressing the button 17 again. After the controller receives the secondary signal sent by the button 17, the controller controls the fan to continue working again.
