[0024] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in specific use, when it is necessary to place the culture dish for culturing cells into the incubator body 1, the culture dish for culturing cells is placed on the carrying component, and then several carrying components are pushed into the supporting component 2 along the depth direction of the incubator body 1, and the two adjacent carrying components are connected together by the first connecting component 41 and the second connecting component 42, and the positioning pin 32 is passed through the first positioning hole 21 and the second positioning hole 31, and the positioning pin 32 is inserted into the supporting component 2 and the carrying component, and the carrying component is positioned and placed on the support component 2.

[0025] When the culture dish needs to be taken out of the incubator body 1 after being incubated for a fixed period of time, the staff first takes out the culture dish in the supporting component closest to the door 11, then takes out the positioning pin 32, and pulls the supporting component to slide out of the support component 2 until the second positioning hole 31 on the adjacent supporting component is aligned with the first positioning hole 21, and reinserts the positioning pin 32, and finally disassembles the supporting component that has slid out of the support component 2.

[0026] By using the present invention, the staff can pull the supporting component close to the box door 11 to slide out of the supporting component 2, and can also drive the subsequent supporting components to slide close to the box door 11 and be positioned by the positioning pin 32; it can facilitate the staff to subsequently remove the culture dishes, and there is no need for the staff to move close to the box door 11 in sequence along the depth direction of the incubator body 1, which can effectively improve the convenience of the staff in removing the culture dishes.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting component 41 and the second connecting component 42 are permanent magnets that can be magnetically attracted to each other; the first connecting component 41 and the second connecting component 42 are magnetically attracted to each other, so as to detachably link two adjacent supporting components.
