[0026] Example

[0027] See also Figure 1-3 As shown:

[0028] The utility model provides an air inlet device for a biosafety cabinet, comprising an operating cabinet 10, an installation cabinet 20 and an airflow processing component.

[0029] The operation cabinet 10 is used to provide an operating space for the biosafety cabinet, and the operation cabinet 10 is provided with an air flow inlet. The air flow inlet on the operation cabinet 10 mainly includes a first air inlet mesh cover 41 and a second air inlet mesh cover 42. The bottom end of the operation cabinet 10 is provided with an operation base plate 40, and the first air inlet mesh cover 41 and the second air inlet mesh cover 42 are both installed on the operation base plate 40, and the first air inlet mesh cover 41 is located at the end of the operation base plate 40 facing the operator, and the top outer side of the first air inlet mesh cover 41 is connected to the lower edge of the cabinet door of the operation cabinet 10, so that when the reactants inside the operation cabinet 10 are at rest, the air flow can still enter along the first air inlet mesh cover 41. The second air inlet mesh cover 42 is arranged at the connection between the operation base plate 40 and the back plate of the operation cabinet 10, and a vent is provided on the back plate of the operation cabinet 10 to communicate with the second air inlet mesh cover 42.

[0030] In specific applications, the first air intake grille 41 and the second air intake grille 42 are opposite to each other, not only at the same height, but also symmetrically distributed in the air intake direction, and the air intake sizes are also the same, thereby ensuring that the airflow entering the installation cabinet 20 is more balanced.

[0031] The installation cabinet 20 is located above the operating cabinet 10 and is provided with an air outlet 24. The installation cabinet 20 is also provided with three independent air flow channels communicating with the operating cabinet 10. A partition 30 is provided between the operating cabinet 10 and the installation cabinet 20.

[0032] The three independent airflow channels include an air inlet 31, a first air supply 32, and a second air supply 33. These are all located on the partition 30, with the air inlet 31 located in the middle of the partition 30 and the first and second air supply 32 and 33 symmetrically positioned on either side of the air inlet 31. The air outlet 24 is located at the top of the cabinet 20 and is aligned vertically with the air inlet 31.

[0033] The airflow processing assembly mainly includes an exhaust filter unit 21, a first air supply unit 22, and a second air supply unit 23. The exhaust filter unit 21 is installed at the bottom of the air outlet 24 and is used to guide the airflow from the operating cabinet 10 into the installation cabinet 20 through the air inlet 31, and then discharge the filtered air through the air outlet 24.

[0034] The exhaust filter unit 21 includes an induced draft fan, an air filter adsorption sponge, and a mounting cover. The mounting cover is detachably connected to the top plate of the installation cabinet 20. The air filter adsorption sponge and induced draft fan are both installed in the mounting cover, and the induced draft fan is connected to the air outlet 24. The air filter adsorption sponge is located between the induced draft fan and the air outlet 24 and is detachably connected to the mounting cover.

[0035] In specific applications, the induced draft fan transports 30% of the air introduced into the installation cabinet 20 to the air filter adsorption sponge for filtration and then discharges the air through the air outlet 24 .

[0036] The first air supply unit 22 is mounted on top of the first air supply hole 32. The first air supply unit 22 includes a first mounting base, a first blower, and a first filter cover. The first mounting base is mounted on top of the first air supply unit 22 and is removably connected to the partition 30. The first blower is mounted in the first mounting base and communicates with the first air supply unit 22. The first filter cover is equipped with a first air filter, which is mounted on the first blower and removably connected to the first mounting base.

[0037] The second air supply unit 23 is mounted on top of the second air supply hole 33. The second air supply unit 23 includes a second mounting base, a second blower, and a second filter cover. The second mounting base is mounted on top of the second air supply unit 23 and is detachably connected to the partition 30. The second blower is mounted in the second mounting base and communicates with the second air supply unit 23. The second filter cover is also provided with an air filter, which is mounted on the second blower and detachably connected to the second mounting base.

[0038] In specific applications, the first air supply part 22 and the second air supply part 23 are used to discharge the air flow of the installation cabinet 20 into the installation cabinet 20 along the first air supply hole 32 and the second air supply hole 33. Since the first air supply hole 32 and the second air supply hole 33 are symmetrically distributed with the air induced hole 31, a circulating air flow with the air induced hole 31 as the center is formed between the air induced hole 31, the first air supply hole 32 and the second air supply hole 33, and the circulating air flow is symmetrically distributed, which is more balanced in the entire operating cabinet 10.

[0039] In specific applications, the power of the induced draft fan is greater than that of the first and second supply fans, and the power of the induced draft fan, the first and second supply fans are all adjustable. Because the entire airflow processing assembly is installed at the air outlet 24 and the three airflow channels, the ratio of airflow exhaust and circulation throughout the operation cabinet 10 can be controlled according to the operational requirements of the biosafety cabinet. Generally, 70% of the airflow in the operation cabinet 10 is circulated between the installation cabinet 20 and the operation cabinet 10, and 30% of the airflow in the operation cabinet 10 is filtered and discharged.

[0040] The internal structure of the installation cabinet 20 is rationally divided, and maintenance space is reserved. The exhaust filter unit 21, the first air supply unit 22 and the second air supply unit 23 are all detachably connected to the installation cabinet 20, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement of parts, thereby facilitating daily maintenance and use.

[0041] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc., then such directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the various components in a specific posture as shown in the accompanying drawings. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly. In addition, if the embodiments of the present invention involve descriptions such as "first" and "second", then such descriptions such as "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated.
