[0035] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1-7 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: an incubator for biological culture, including an incubator body 1. A plurality of hollow plates 2 are slidably connected inside the incubator body 1. The hollow plates 2 are used to carry a plurality of culture containers, enabling stacked placement and improving space utilization rate. A plurality of hollow baskets 3 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the hollow plate 2. The hollow baskets 3 are used to accommodate the culture containers and provide a good ventilation environment. A quick-taking component is installed on the lower surface of the hollow plate 2, facilitating the pushing out, taking, and placing of the containers and improving the operation efficiency.

[0037] The quick-taking component includes an L-shaped plate 4. The upper surface of the L-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the hollow plate 2 near one side of the hollow basket 3, used to support the entire quick-taking structure and form a sliding track. A J-shaped rod 5 is slidably connected inside the L-shaped plate 4. The J-shaped rod 5 can move back and forth inside the L-shaped plate 4 to drive the top plate 9 to achieve the pushing-out action. A first spring 6 is arranged on the outer wall of the J-shaped rod 5. The first spring 6 provides a return elastic force to ensure stable reset of the structure. One end of the J-shaped rod 5 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 7. The fixed block 7 provides a connection and transmission function to ensure stable linkage between the lead screw 8 and the top plate 9. A lead screw 8 is threadedly connected inside the fixed block 7. The lead screw 8 adjusts the lifting height of the top plate 9 by rotation. The upper end of the lead screw 8 is fixedly connected to a top plate 9. The top plate 9 is used to directly contact the bottom of the culture container and achieve the pushing-out function. The other end of the J-shaped rod 5 penetrates the hollow plate 2 and is fixedly connected to a ring 10. The ring 10 cooperates with a wedge-shaped block 13 to achieve the limiting and locking function of the J-shaped rod 5. A fixed box 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the hollow plate 2 near one side of the ring 10. The fixed box 11 is used to accommodate and guide the movement of the wedge-shaped block 13. A second spring 12 is arranged on the inner wall of the fixed box 11. The second spring 12 provides an inward return elastic force to ensure automatic return of the wedge-shaped block 13. One end of the second spring 12 is fixedly connected to a wedge-shaped block 13. The outside of the wedge-shaped block 13 penetrates the fixed box 11 and is slidably connected inside the ring 10. The wedge-shaped block 13 is inserted into the ring 10 to achieve quick limiting, locking, and releasing operations.

[0038] Specifically, by pulling the wedge-shaped block 13 out of the inside of the ring 10, at this time, under the reaction force of the first spring 6, the J-shaped rod 5 slides inside the L-shaped plate 4, and drives the top plate 9 to quickly push the culture container out of the inside of the hollow basket 3, realizing the quick removal of the culture container; in addition, by rotating the lead screw 8, the height of the top plate 9 can be adjusted to adapt to culture containers of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility and operation convenience of the device, and further improving the practicability and working efficiency of the incubator.

[0039] Refer to Figures 1-7, on one side of the outer wall of the incubator body 1, a treatment box 14 is fixedly connected. The treatment box 14 serves as an air treatment module for filtering and circulating the air inside the incubator; multiple fans 15 are fixedly connected inside the treatment box 14. The fans 15 are used to provide the power for air flow to ensure the circulation of internal gas; a filter cover 16 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fan 15. The filter cover 16 is used to block large particle impurities, preliminarily purify the air, extend the service life of the fan 15 and protect the internal structure; multiple transmission pipes 23 are arranged inside the incubator body 1. The transmission pipes 23 are used to guide the treated air to be transported to various areas inside the incubator, improving the uniformity of air flow distribution; a nozzle 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission pipe 23. The nozzle 24 jets the air flow in a specific direction, enhancing the pertinence and distribution efficiency of air flow; a flow equalizing cover 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the incubator body 1. The flow equalizing cover 25 is arranged on the side close to the outlet of the nozzle 24 and is used to diffuse and guide the ejected air flow, so that the air is evenly distributed inside the box body, avoiding the problem of too strong local air flow or dead corners; a limiting slide bar 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the treatment box 14. The limiting slide bar 19 is used to guide and limit the running path of the internal moving parts to ensure the stable operation of the structure; a limiting slide bar 20 is fixedly connected to one side close to the limiting slide bar 19. The limiting slide bar 20 and the limiting slide bar 19 cooperate to provide guiding at both ends, realizing the sliding control of the structure within a certain range; a Z-shaped plate 21 is arranged between the limiting slide bar 19 and the limiting slide bar 20. The Z-shaped plate 21 serves as the supporting structure of the filter plate 17, and its structural form is convenient for stable support and compression spring three 22; a filter plate 17 is slidably connected inside the treatment box 14. The filter plate 17 is used to further finely filter the tiny particles in the air, improving the air cleanliness and protecting the culture environment; the lower surface of the filter plate 17 abuts against the upper surface of the Z-shaped plate 21 to form a structural support, preventing the filter plate 17 from tilting or shifting during sliding; a spring three 22 is sleeved outside the limiting slide bar 20. The spring three 22 provides buffering and return elastic force, enabling the Z-shaped plate 21 to drive the filter plate 17 to automatically reset or maintain a stable pressing state; one end of the spring three 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner wall of the treatment box 14 to ensure that the fixed end of the spring is stable; the other end of the spring three 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the Z-shaped plate 21, acting on the Z-shaped plate 21 through the elastic force, thereby applying a force to the filter plate 17; the treatment box 14 and the filter plate 17 are opened and closed by a bolt 18. The bolt 18 is used to realize the disassembly and fixing function of the filter plate 17, facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the filter component; the inlet of the transmission pipe 23 is arranged on one side of the filter plate 17 to ensure that all the air inhaled by the transmission pipes 23 is filtered before entering the pipeline, improving the cleanliness of the air flow.

[0040] Specifically, by setting up an air treatment and purification system composed of the treatment box 14, the fan 15, the filter cover 16, the filter plate 17 and the third spring 22 inside it, the air is subjected to multiple purification treatments before entering the inside of the incubator. At the same time, in combination with the transmission pipe 23, the nozzle 24 and the flow equalizing cover 25, the uniform distribution of the purified air is realized, effectively improving the stability of the culture environment inside the box body, avoiding problems of local pollution or air flow dead angles, and thus improving the reliability and efficiency of the culture process.

[0041] Working principle: When the incubator needs to be used, first place the culture container above the top plate 9. At this time, by pressing the container, the top plate 9 drives the J-shaped rod 5 to stretch the first spring 6 to contract while driving the ring 10 to the side of the wedge-shaped block 13. At this time, the wedge-shaped block 13 is pushed by the second spring 12 to be engaged inside the ring 10, thus realizing the effect of stably placing the container. At the same time, the screw rod 8 can be rotated, and the top plate 9 is pushed by the screw rod 8 to move, thereby realizing the effect of adjusting according to the height of the container. At this time, then start the fan 15 to discharge the external air flow of the incubator body 1 into the transmission pipe 23 after double filtration through the filter cover 16 and the filter plate 17, and then the air flow is transmitted to the inside of the flow equalizing cover 25 through the transmission pipe 23 for uniform diversion to the vicinity of the container, thereby realizing the effect of replacing the air and culturing the organisms efficiently. After the filter plate 17 is used for a long time, by pulling the bolt 18 away from the filter plate 17 last time, at this time the pressure of the third spring 22 is released, thereby realizing the effect of pushing the Z-shaped plate 21 to slide on the outer walls of the first limiting slide bar 19 and the second limiting slide bar 20, and thus realizing the effect of quickly replacing the filter plate 17 or cleaning it. When the culture container needs to be taken out, at this time by pulling the wedge-shaped block 13 to make the second spring 12 contract, at this time the first spring 6 will drive the J-shaped rod 5 to slide rapidly inside the L-shaped plate 4 due to the release of pressure. At this time, by the movement of the J-shaped rod 5, the effect of driving the top plate 9 to quickly push the culture container out of the hollow basket 3 for quickly taking the container is realized.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features.
