Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biochemical incubators, and more specifically, to a constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator. Background Art
[0002] A constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator is a key device widely used in microbiology laboratories. It is mainly used to provide a stable and controllable environment for the cultivation of various microorganisms, cells, etc., to ensure the accuracy and reliability of experimental results. It is widely used in research and experiments in the fields of biology, medicine, agriculture, environmental protection, etc. For example, experiments such as cell culture, microorganism culture, enzyme reaction, and seed germination all require this device to provide stable environmental conditions.
[0003] As disclosed in a Chinese patent: A constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator for laboratory use, application number: CN202021525047.7, including a base. A box body is welded on the top outer wall of the base, and a water pump is installed at the center of the top outer wall of the box body through bolts. The input end of the water pump is threadedly connected with a connecting pipe, and the output end of the water pump located inside the box body is threadedly connected with a main pipe. The electric heating tube of the present utility model enables the inside of the incubator to maintain a certain temperature, and the atomizing nozzle is beneficial to atomize water, and at the same time, it is convenient to increase the humidity inside the constant temperature and humidity incubator. The temperature sensor and humidity sensor facilitate the monitoring of the temperature and humidity in the box body, making the constant temperature and humidity incubator more intelligent and capable of providing timely and effective feedback on the temperature and humidity inside the box body. The push rod pushes the clamping plate to approach through the action of the limiting plate and the spring, so that the placement groove can adapt to vessels of different diameters, improving the stability of the vessel when placed inside the placement groove.
[0004] However, in the above technical solution, when culturing fungi, different types of fungi and their different growth stages have different requirements for light. Some fungi (such as Armillaria mellea) do not require light during the mycelial growth stage, that is, they require a lightless environment. At present, in order to facilitate the observation by the staff, the constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator is usually provided with a transparent observation window, and external light easily passes through the observation window and enters the inside of the constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator, resulting in an inability to form a lightless environment inside the constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator, limiting the scope of application of the constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The main purpose of the present utility model is to provide a constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator, which can effectively solve the problem in the background technology that when culturing fungi, different types of fungi and their different growth stages have different requirements for light. Some fungi (such as Armillaria mellea) do not require light during the mycelium growth stage, that is, they need a lightless environment. However, at present, in order to facilitate the staff to observe, the constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator usually has a transparent observation window, and external light easily passes through the observation window and enters the interior of the constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator, resulting in the inability to form a lightless environment inside the constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator, and restricting the scope of application of the constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:
[0007] A constant temperature and humidity biochemical incubator includes an incubator main body. A culture tank is provided on the incubator main body. A rotating shutter is rotatably provided on one side of the culture tank. A through groove is provided on the rotating shutter. An observation window is provided in the through groove. A first sliding groove is provided on one side of the through groove. A sealing plate is provided in the first sliding groove. Second sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the culture tank. A double-axis moving platform is provided in the second sliding grooves. A night vision camera is provided on the double-axis moving platform. A temporary storage tank is provided on one side of the culture tank. An ultraviolet disinfection lamp is provided on one side of the top of the culture tank.
[0008] Preferably, the temporary storage tank is located on the side of the culture tank away from the rotating shutter.
[0009] Preferably, the second sliding groove is communicated with the temporary storage tank.
[0010] Preferably, the sealing plate includes a sealing plate base, and a plurality of grooves are provided on one side of the sealing plate base.
[0011] Preferably, hydraulic rods are provided in the grooves.
[0012] Preferably, guide sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the sealing plate base, and guide sliding blocks are slidably provided in the guide sliding grooves.
[0013] Preferably, both ends of the hydraulic rod are fixedly connected to the sealing plate base and the rotating shutter respectively.
[0014] Preferably, the guide sliding blocks are fixedly connected to the rotating shutter.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) When the present utility model is in use, first place the culture vessel into the culture tank, then close the rotating shutter door, and the culture can be carried out. When a lightless environment is required, start the hydraulic rod. Through the hydraulic rod, the base plate of the sealing plate leaves the inside of the first chute and gradually enters the through groove to seal the through groove. At this time, external light will not be able to enter the culture tank through the observation window in the through groove, so that the inside of the culture tank enters a lightless environment. Then start the night vision camera and move the night vision camera to a suitable position through the double-axis moving platform. Subsequently, the culture vessel can be observed through the night vision camera, and the culture tank can be flexibly made to enter a light or lightless environment according to actual needs, increasing the scope of application.
[0017] (2) When the culture is completed and the culture vessel is taken out, move the night vision camera into the temporary storage tank through the double-axis moving platform to prevent the night vision camera from blocking the light of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp. Then start the ultraviolet disinfection lamp to disinfect and sterilize the inside of the culture tank, reducing possible contamination and cross-infection in the subsequent experimental process.

When the sealing plate base 701 completely enters the through groove 4, the closing of the through groove 4 is completed. At this time, external light will not enter the culture tank 2 through the observation window 5 in the through groove 4, so that the inside of the culture tank 2 enters a lightless environment. Then activate the night vision camera 10, and move the night vision camera 10 to a suitable position through the two-axis moving platform 9. Subsequently, the culture vessel can be observed through the night vision camera 10. The culture tank 2 can flexibly enter a light or lightless environment according to actual needs, increasing the scope of application. After the culturing is completed and the culture vessel is taken out, move the night vision camera 10 into the temporary storage tank 11 through the two-axis moving platform 9 to prevent the night vision camera 10 from blocking the light of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 12. Then activate the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 12 to disinfect and sterilize the inside of the culture tank 2, reducing possible contamination and cross-infection in subsequent experimental processes.
