[0036] This utility model provides a filtration device for a carbon dioxide incubator. A circulation component is installed on the outer shell to draw air from the incubator, allowing it to undergo initial filtration through a filter frame assembly, followed by secondary filtration with a release component. The purified air then re-enters the incubator. The filter frame assembly divides the internal area of the outer shell into two independent spaces, facilitating gradual filtration of the air within the incubator. Both the filter sleeve and the release component are removable for easy filter replacement, ensuring stable operation and reducing filtration pressure. The circulation component is built into the outer shell, guiding airflow without occupying additional space. It can also be used with a control board and motor to perform timed circulation. (See also: [link to relevant documentation]) Figures 1 to 7 It includes a housing assembly 100, a circulation assembly 200 disposed on the top of the housing assembly 100, a release assembly 400, and a filter frame assembly 300 disposed on the inner wall of the housing assembly 100;
[0037] in:
[0038] The housing assembly 100 includes a housing 110 and a top plate 120 disposed on the top of the housing 110, and a top plate hole 130 on the top plate 120 facilitates the internal insertion of the circulation assembly 200;
[0039] The circulation component 200 includes a circulation ring 210 that penetrates the top plate 120. The circulation ring 210 is a metal ring and can be integrally molded. A motor 220 is provided at the bottom of the circulation ring 210. The motor 220 can be a commonly used model on the market. A fan 230 that penetrates the circulation ring 210 is provided at the output end of the motor 220. The motor 220 can drive the fan 230.
[0040] The filter frame assembly 300 includes a first filter frame plate 310 and a second filter frame plate 320 disposed opposite to each other on the inner wall of the outer casing 110. The first filter frame plate 310 and the second filter frame plate 320 are fixed to the inner wall of the outer casing 110 by screws. A filter sleeve plate 330 is disposed between the first filter frame plate 310 and the second filter frame plate 320. The height of the filter sleeve plate 330 is the same as the depth of the outer casing 110.
[0041] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the filter sleeve 330, strip-shaped grooves matching the filter sleeve 330 can be formed at the bottom and inner wall of the inner cavity of the housing 110.
[0042] The release assembly 400 includes a release shell 410, a filter cover 440 is sleeved on the top of the release shell 410, the surface of the filter cover 440 has dense holes to facilitate filtration, the top of the filter cover 440 is integrally formed with a filter cover frame 450, the filter cover frame 450 can be snapped onto the top of the release shell 410, and the side wall of the filter cover frame 450 is provided with a control board 460 of an electrically connected series motor 220, and a switch and a button can be provided on the control board 460;
[0043] The control board 460 includes a timer switch connected in series. The timer switch is an electronic component that, based on time changes, opens the circuit, interrupts the current, or diverts it to other circuits within a certain period of time. The electronic timer switch, battery, and plug electrically connected to the battery's electrical input terminal are optional. The battery and plug are for power supply coordination.
[0044] Working principle: In actual use, a top plate 120 with a top plate hole 130 and a release component 400 are installed on the outer shell 110. After the control board 460 turns on the motor 220, the motor 220 drives the fan 230 to draw the air inside the carbon dioxide incubator into the outer shell 110. The interior of the outer shell 110 is divided into two independent spaces by the filter frame assembly 300, which facilitates the gradual filtration of the air inside the chamber. After passing through the filter frame assembly 300, the air will continue to pass through the release component 400. The release component 400 includes a release shell 410 and a filter cover 440, which facilitates filtration and allows clean air to re-enter the carbon dioxide incubator.
[0045] Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the combination of accessories, specifically, the top plate 120 has a top plate hole 130, the circulating circular frame 210 passes through the top plate hole 130, and a sealing rubber ring can be set on the inner circumference of the top plate hole 130.
[0046] Subsequently, in order to provide support for the circulating frame 210 and ensure effective air extraction, the circulating frame 210 specifically includes opposing rings and multiple supports disposed between the two rings, with the center points of the motor 220, fan 230, and circulating frame 210 being aligned.
[0047] Next, in order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the filter sleeve plate 330 with the filter frame plate 310 and the filter frame plate 320, the filter sleeve plate 330 specifically includes a sleeve groove 331 opened at its bottom and matching the filter frame plate 310 and the filter frame plate 320, a filter element 340 disposed inside the filter sleeve plate 330, and a metal mesh 350 snapped onto the outer wall of the filter sleeve plate 330.
[0048] In some embodiments, in order to ensure sealing, rubber strips can be provided on both sides of filter frame plate 310 and filter frame plate 320. When the sleeve groove 331 is fitted with filter frame plate 310 and filter frame plate 320, the rubber strips will fill the gaps in the sleeve groove 331.
[0049] Furthermore, in order to facilitate normal air transmission and achieve filtration, specifically, the top of the release shell 410 is integrally formed with a release shell groove 420 for matching the filter cover 440, and the bottom of the release shell groove 420 is provided with a grille 430. There are multiple sets of grilles 430, and the size and number of grilles 430 can be pre-adjusted as needed.
[0050] Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the removal of the filter frame 450 carrying the filter cover 440, the filter frame 450 specifically includes a handle 470 oppositely disposed on its top, a second filter element 480 disposed inside the filter frame 450 and received by the filter cover 440, and a second metal mesh 490 snapped onto the outer wall of the filter frame 450.
[0051] Subsequently, in order to facilitate the creation of independent spaces for compartmentalized filtration and reduce filtration pressure, specifically, when the top plate 120 and the release component 400 are combined with the housing component 100, the filter frame component 300 divides the housing 110 at equal intervals and creates two independent chambers.
[0052] Next, to ensure the filtration effect, specifically, filter element 1 (340) and filter element 2 (480) are photocatalytic filters. Photocatalytic filters can be sterilized with ethylene oxide for microbial or aseptic control. Photocatalytic filters are superior to activated carbon in adsorbing VOCs and odors, thus improving the filtration effect. To ensure the effect, they need to be replaced regularly.
[0053] Finally, in order to combine the outer shell assembly 100 with the carbon dioxide incubator to achieve a filtration effect, specifically, the outer shell assembly 100 is entirely installed on the inner wall of the carbon dioxide incubator.
[0054] In some embodiments, the outer shell assembly 100 can be fixed to the inner wall of the carbon dioxide incubator by screws. Different models of carbon dioxide incubators have different internal structures, so existing conventional structures need to be avoided when fixing it.
[0055] In addition, the conventional accessories and conventional structures involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method.
[0056] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
