Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] like Figure 1-2As shown, a cell culture incubator comprises a cell culture incubator body 1, wherein the cell culture incubator body 1 is provided with an openable and closable door 12, wherein multiple groups of storage components are provided in the cell culture incubator body 1, wherein each group of the storage components comprises a bottom plate 2, a top plate 3, multiple partitions 4 and multiple movable plates 6, wherein the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 3 are arranged on the inner wall of the cell culture incubator body 1, the top plate 3 is located above the bottom plate 2, multiple partitions 4 are arranged between the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 3, and multiple movable plates 6 are movably arranged on the bottom plate 2, and each of the movable plates 6 is provided with a first sealing plate 9 on a side close to the door 12 and a sealing block 7 on a side away from the door 12. A plurality of first through holes 2-1 are provided on the bottom plate 2, a plurality of second through holes 6-1 are provided on the movable plate 6, a plurality of heating elements 11 and a gas concentration control element are provided in the cell culture box 1 and below the bottom plate 2, a second sealing plate 10 for sealing the heating elements 11 and the gas concentration control element is provided on the inner wall of the cell culture box 1; a slide groove 5 is provided on the inner wall of the cell culture box 1 and the side wall of the partition 4, a slider 8 is provided on the sealing block 7, and the slider 8 is slidably set in the slide groove 5; the sealing block 7 is a hollow structure; a pair of baffles are provided on both sides of the upper surface of each movable plate 6.
[0017] The detailed connection means are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, which are as follows:
[0018] In the present invention, the heating element 11 and the gas concentration control element are connected to the external electric control system through wires. The above equipment and connection methods are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0019] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-2It can be seen that when the present invention is in use, the culture is placed on the movable plate 6, the door 12 is closed, and the multiple heating elements 11 arranged in the cell culture box 1 and located below each bottom plate 2 are started. The heating element 11 can be a resistance wire. The heating element 11 transmits heat through the multiple first through holes 2-1 opened on the bottom plate 2 and the multiple second through holes 6-1 opened on each movable plate 6 to provide a constant temperature environment for the culture (a temperature sensor is provided in the cell culture box 1 to cooperate with the heating element 11). A gas concentration control element for controlling the gas concentration is provided in the cell culture box 1, and the concentration of the gas in the box is adjusted when the concentration changes; when a culture needs to be taken out, the door 12 is opened, and the person pulls out the movable plate 6 corresponding to the culture, and the sealing block 7 connected to the movable plate 6 blocks the cavity opening (the cavity refers to the bottom plate 2 , top plate 3, a pair of partitions 4 or the part composed of the partition 4 and the side wall of the cell culture box body 1), since each movable plate 6 is provided with a first sealing plate 9 on the side close to the box door 12, the cell culture box body 1 is provided with a second sealing plate 10 for sealing multiple heating elements 11 and gas concentration control elements. Therefore, when the movable plate 6 is pulled out, the heat in the cavity where the heating element 11 and the gas concentration control element are located is blocked by the second sealing plate 10 and cannot be dissipated outward, and the cavity where other cultures are located is blocked and sealed by the first sealing plate 9. The opening of the pulled out movable plate 6 is blocked by the sealing block 7. Therefore, when the culture on a certain movable plate 6 is taken out and placed, it can be ensured that the temperature and gas concentration of other cultures fluctuate less, thereby maintaining the environmental effect on other cultures. The storage components of the cell culture box body 1 can be multiple groups, attached Figure 1 When in use, there are 6 storage components, and 5 groups are shown in the figure.
[0020] There is a possible implementation, in which a slide groove 5 is provided on the inner wall of the cell culture box body 1 and the side wall of the partition 4, and a slider 8 is provided on the sealing block 7. The slider 8 is slidably set in the slide groove 5. The slide groove 5 limits the slider 8 to prevent the sealing block 7 from shifting during movement, and at the same time, prevents the sealing block 7 from moving out of the cell culture box.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the sealing block 7 is a hollow structure to reduce the weight of the sealing block 7 and facilitate personnel to pull the movable plate 6.
[0022] In one possible implementation, a pair of stop bars are provided on both sides of the upper surface of each movable plate 6 , and the pair of stop bars limit the culture to prevent the culture from deviating to one side when the movable plate 6 is pulled out.
[0023] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
