Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and specifically to an air heating and drying device for culture medium bottles. Background Technique

[0002] In the fields of cell culture and related biomedical experiments, the proper handling and use of culture media are crucial. Culture media are usually stored in a refrigerated environment at 2 - 8 degrees Celsius to maintain the stability and activity of their components. However, when it is necessary to take them out of the refrigerated environment for use, a series of problems will be faced. First of all, due to the large temperature difference between the refrigerated environment and the outside normal-temperature air, a layer of condensed water droplets will quickly form on the outer wall of the culture medium bottle. These continuously dripping water droplets will not only contaminate the clean space of the laminar flow hood, increasing the risk of microbial contamination in the experimental environment, but also may affect the accuracy and reliability of the experiment. Secondly, cell culture is generally carried out in an incubator environment at 37 degrees Celsius. If the culture medium just taken out of the refrigerated environment is directly used to replenish the cells in the incubator, the cells will not be able to adapt due to the sudden temperature change. Such a drastic temperature change may lead to cell damage, apoptosis, a decrease in cell survival rate, and thus greatly affect the normal growth and physiological functions of the cells, ultimately having an adverse impact on the experimental results and research conclusions. In previous practices, there has been a lack of specialized and efficient equipment for heating and drying culture medium bottles. Some existing equipment may be relatively complex in operation, making it inconvenient for experimental personnel to quickly get started and use conveniently. Some equipment cannot achieve batch processing of culture medium bottles, resulting in low work efficiency. There are also some equipment with uneven distribution of hot air, causing local overheating of the culture medium bottles, thereby affecting the titer of active protein factors in the culture medium and damaging the quality of the culture medium. In addition, some equipment cannot effectively collect the water droplets dripping from the culture medium bottles during the heating process, resulting in water droplets splashing everywhere and contaminating the experimental environment. At the same time, many equipment also cannot flexibly control the temperature and wind speed, making it difficult to meet the diversity of different experimental conditions and requirements.

[0003] To sum up, in order to overcome the above-mentioned various problems and meet the requirements of precision, efficiency, convenience, and safety in the treatment of culture medium bottles in cell culture experiments, it is extremely important to design an air heating and drying device for culture medium bottles. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an air heating and drying device for culture medium bottles, so as to achieve batch processing, improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, keep the environment clean, and protect the quality of the culture medium, thereby solving the problems mentioned above.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A medium bottle air heating and drying device, including a box body shell, the upper end of the box body shell is open, and the internal space is evenly divided into 10 constant temperature chambers by a partition board. Each constant temperature chamber is rotatably and cooperatively installed at the upper end through a box cover; a grid tray is placed inside each constant temperature chamber, and movable hanging trays are hung on both sides of the grid tray through hooks; an opening is provided on the rear end face of the box body shell, and an overall movable flip cover is rotatably and cooperatively installed on the upper side of the opening. A blast heater is installed at the bottommost part inside the box body shell, and a controller is installed outside the box body shell.

[0007] The box body shell and the partition board are made of constant temperature materials.

[0008] The air outlets of the blast heater are located on both sides, and horizontal heat-dissipating hot air is adopted.

[0009] The controller is provided with a display screen and a wind speed adjustment button, and is electrically connected to the blast heater.

[0010] When in use, a thermometer is hung at the center of the grid tray. There is no need to hang it in the unused chambers. The thermometer is connected to the controller through a signal, and the temperature data is displayed on the display screen of the controller.

[0011] Convex blocks are arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber divided by the box body shell and the partition board. The convex blocks fix the grid tray by clamping the bottom end of the grid tray.

[0012] The box cover is provided with air holes, and the air holes are circular hollow structures.

[0013] First, take out the device and connect the power supply. Turn on the wind speed gear of the blast heater to make the hot air evenly disperse horizontally, which can avoid the hot air directly blowing on the medium bottle and prevent local heating from affecting the quality of the medium. During this process, wait patiently and read the reading of the temperature display in front of the box body. When the reading of the temperature display stabilizes between 35 degrees and 40 degrees, the independent movable flip cover above the device can be opened. Open one flip cover each time, put in the refrigerated medium taken out of the refrigerator, place the medium bottle on the grid tray, and then quickly cover the independent movable flip cover, which can effectively avoid the overflow of hot air. During the rewarming process of the medium, the water droplets on the outer wall of the medium bottle will continuously drip onto the hanging independent movable hanging tray, thus avoiding the situation of water droplets splashing everywhere. After the medium is rewarmed, turn off the power button. Then open the independent movable flip covers above the box body in sequence, take out each medium bottle, and quickly cover the corresponding movable box cover each time a medium bottle is taken out to prevent heat from overflowing and facilitate the rewarming operation of the next batch of medium. Finally, open the overall movable flip cover at the back of the box body, take out the hanging tray and pour out the water droplets contained in it, and then cover the movable flip cover at the back of the box body to complete the entire operation process.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] The usage method of the device is simple and clear. Experimental personnel can easily get started without complex training and operation procedures. Ten culture medium bottles can be placed at one time to achieve batch processing, improving work efficiency.

[0016] There is a wind speed adjustment button, which can flexibly select the wind speed gear according to the number of culture medium bottles and the length of the experiment time, and accurately control the temperature.

[0017] Each constant temperature chamber has an independent box cover, which effectively avoids a large amount of hot air overflowing when the whole is opened, reducing energy loss. The large-aperture design of the grid plate ensures the maximum hot air heating and promotes the uniform heating of the culture medium bottles.

[0018] The independent movable hanging plate below the grid plate can catch the water droplets dripping during the heating process of the culture medium bottles, avoiding water droplets splashing everywhere and keeping the experimental environment clean. The overall movable flip cover at the back of the box is convenient for taking out the independent movable hanging plate and pouring out the water, with convenient operation.

[0019] The air blower heater emits hot air horizontally, avoiding local heating of the culture medium bottles, protecting the titer of the active protein factors in the culture medium to the greatest extent, and maintaining the quality of the culture medium. Description of the Drawings

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be described completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0028] As Figure 1-6 shown, a culture medium bottle air heating and drying device includes a box body shell 11. The upper end of the box body shell 11 is an opening, and the internal space is evenly divided into 10 constant temperature chambers by a partition 13. Above each constant temperature chamber, it is rotatably and cooperatively installed at the upper end through a box cover 12; a grid plate 21 is placed inside each constant temperature chamber, and movable hanging plates 22 are hung on both sides of the grid plate 21 through hooks 23; an opening is provided on the rear end surface of the box body shell 11, and an overall movable flip cover 14 is rotatably and cooperatively installed on the upper side of the opening. A blast heater 24 is installed at the bottommost part inside the box body shell 11, and a controller 31 is installed outside the box body shell 11.

[0029] The box body shell 11 and the partition 13 are made of thermostatic materials.

[0030] The air outlet of the blast heater 24 is located on both sides, and horizontal heat-dissipating air is adopted.

[0031] The controller 31 is provided with a display screen and a wind speed adjustment button, and is electrically connected to the blast heater 24.

[0032] When in use, a thermometer is hung in the center of the grid plate 21, and there is no need to hang it in the unused compartments. The thermometer is connected to the controller 31 through a signal, and the temperature data is displayed on the display screen of the controller 31.

[0033] Convex blocks are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber formed by dividing the box body shell 11 and the partition 13. The convex blocks fix the grid plate by clamping the bottom end of the grid plate 21.

[0034] The lid 12 is provided with air holes, and the air holes are circular hollow structures. First, take out the device and turn on the power supply. Turn on the air volume gear of the air-blowing heater to make the hot air diverge evenly horizontally, which can avoid the hot air blowing directly on the culture medium bottle and prevent local heating from affecting the quality of the culture medium. During this process, wait patiently and read the readings on the temperature display in front of the box. When the readings on the temperature display are stable between 35 degrees and 40 degrees, the independent movable flap above the device can be opened. Open one flap at a time, put in the refrigerated culture medium taken out of the refrigerator, place the culture medium bottle on the grid tray, and then quickly cover the independent movable flap, which can effectively avoid the overflow of hot air. During the rewarming process of the culture medium, the water droplets on the outer wall of the culture medium bottle will continuously drip onto the suspended independent movable hanging tray, thus avoiding the splashing of water droplets. After the culture medium is rewarmed, turn off the power button. Then, open the independent movable flaps above the box in sequence, take out each culture medium bottle, and quickly cover the corresponding movable box lid when taking out each culture medium bottle to prevent the heat from escaping and facilitate the rewarming operation of the next batch of culture medium. Finally, open the overall movable flap at the back of the box, take out the hanging tray and pour out the water droplets contained in it, and then cover the movable flap at the back of the box to complete the entire operation process.
