Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of constant temperature incubator technology, specifically a Bacillus constant temperature incubator. Background Technology
[0002] Bacillus incubators provide crucial support for the growth and research of Bacillus by offering constant temperature, suitable humidity and ventilation, a sterile environment, and support for long-term incubation. In biological, medical, and related fields, incubators have become indispensable experimental equipment.
[0003] When culturing Bacillus in existing constant temperature incubators, multiple groups of Bacillus need to be cultured, and the amount of Bacillus in each group needs to be added as needed. This results in different volumes of culture dishes. The partitions of the culture dishes of different volumes need to be removed for easy placement, which leads to inconvenience in use.
[0004] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, a constant temperature incubator for edible fungi, disclosed in CN213847997U, utilizes a handwheel to rotate a second conical gear, which in turn rotates a first conical gear meshing with it. The first conical gear is threadedly connected to a screw, and its bottom end is fixedly connected to a mounting plate via a bearing seat. The mounting plate is also fixedly connected to a mounting box, and both the mounting plate and the mounting box have through holes matching the screw. When the first conical gear rotates upward or downward along the screw, it drives the mounting box and mounting plate to move upward or downward. The mounting plate is fixedly installed on the upper end of a support frame, and both ends of the support frame have grooves matching the limiting rods. Thus, when the first conical gear moves up and down, it causes the two ends of the support frame to slide up and down on the limiting rods. After adjusting the support frame to a suitable height, the handwheel is stopped, and the edible fungi spawn is evenly distributed on the shelves. The height can be adjusted according to the different space requirements of the edible fungi, which is beneficial for the cultivation and growth of the fungi and improves cultivation efficiency.
[0005] In actual use of the above device, although the mounting plate spacing can be adjusted, the movement of the mounting plate is achieved by the rotation of the bevel gears, which in turn drives the mounting plate to move via the screw. Since the bevel gears mesh with each other, they do not have self-locking properties. This may cause the petri dish to shake after it is placed on the mounting plate, resulting in instability.
[0006] Therefore, we proposed a Bacillus constant temperature incubator that can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a constant temperature incubator for Bacillus subtilis to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where the meshing between bevel gear sets on the market results in a lack of self-locking between the bevel gear sets, which may cause shaking and instability when a culture dish is placed on the mounting plate.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a Bacillus constant temperature incubator, comprising a constant temperature incubator body, wherein a placement plate is slidably connected inside the constant temperature incubator body;
[0009] Also includes:
[0010] The placement plate is connected to a worm gear via a bearing, and a turbine meshes with the outer side of the rear end of the worm gear. The turbine is rotatably connected to the inside of the placement plate. The middle part of the turbine is vortex-connected to a threaded rod, and the two ends of the threaded rod are fixed inside the constant temperature incubator body.
[0011] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the turbine are rotatably connected to ball bearings at equal angles, and the outer ends of the ball bearings are attached to the inside of the placement plate.
[0012] Preferably, a clamping plate is slidably connected to the placement plate, and the top of the clamping plate is arc-shaped, while the bottom of the clamping plate slides through a fixed rod, the two ends of which are fixed inside the placement plate.
[0013] Preferably, the inner end of the fixing rod is nested with a first spring, and the outer end of the first spring is connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the clamping plate is rotatably connected to a pawl, and the bottom of the pawl extends into the interior of the slot to form a one-way engaging mechanism, and the slots are equally spaced inside the placement plate.
[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the pawl is connected to a second spring, and the top of the second spring is connected to the inside of the clamp.
[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the clamp is connected to a pull rope, and the top of the pull rope extends out of the clamp and forms a sliding mechanism with the interior of the placement plate.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the Bacillus constant temperature incubator has high stability and allows for stable placement of Bacillus culture dishes. The spacing between the placement plates can be adjusted by rotating the worm gear, thus achieving better stability. Furthermore, the movement of the clamps can fix the Bacillus culture dishes, thereby improving the stability after placement. The specific details are as follows:
[0018] The device is equipped with a worm gear, which drives the turbine to rotate, allowing the turbine to move on the threaded rod. This allows for adjustment of the spacing between the placement plates. The turbine and worm gear are self-locking, which improves stability. The Bacillus is then cultured using the constant temperature system inside the incubator, thereby improving the survival rate of the Bacillus.
[0019] The device is equipped with a clamp. By pushing the clamp, the clamp can be moved to hold and fix the Bacillus culture dish. Then, through the engagement between the pawl and the slot, the Bacillus culture dish can be stably placed on the placement plate, thus avoiding shaking.
[0020] The turbine is equipped with ball bearings, which are connected to the upper and lower ends of the turbine at equal angles. The outer ends of the ball bearings are attached to the inside of the placement plate. The use of the ball bearings can reduce the friction of the turbine rotation, thereby improving the service life of the turbine.
[0021] Equipped with a pawl, the pawl is rotatably connected to the bottom of the clamp plate, and the bottom of the pawl extends into the interior of the slot to form a one-way locking mechanism. The slots are evenly spaced inside the placement plate. The position of the clamp plate can be fixed by the locking between the pawl and the slot, which is suitable for Bacillus culture dishes of different diameters, thereby improving applicability.
[0022] A pull rope is provided, which is connected to the bottom of the clamp plate. The top of the pull rope extends out of the clamp plate and forms a sliding mechanism with the inside of the placement plate. This allows the pull rope to move and drive the pawl to disengage from the slot, thus facilitating the reset of the clamp plate. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not 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 effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Example 1: This utility model solves the problem that the meshing between existing bevel gear sets lacks self-locking, which may cause shaking and instability when a petri dish is placed on the mounting plate. The use of the turbine 4 improves the stability of movement. The following is disclosed:
[0032] The constant temperature incubator body 1 has a placement plate 2 slidably connected inside the constant temperature incubator body 1; it also includes: a worm gear 6 connected inside the placement plate 2 via a bearing, and a turbine 4 meshing with the outer side of the rear end of the worm gear 6, and the turbine 4 is rotatably connected inside the placement plate 2, the middle part of the turbine 4 is vortex connected to a threaded rod 3, and the two ends of the threaded rod 3 are fixed inside the constant temperature incubator body 1, and the upper and lower ends of the turbine 4 are rotatably connected with balls 5 at equal angles, and the outer ends of the balls 5 are attached to the inside of the placement plate 2;
[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 5 Bacillus is placed inside the constant temperature incubator body 1, and the temperature is adjusted in real time by the temperature sensor inside the constant temperature incubator body 1, so that the Bacillus can be cultured at a suitable temperature. When placing Bacillus culture dishes of different sizes, the worm gear 6 is rotated, which drives the turbine 4 to rotate. The turbine 4 then rotates inside the placement plate 2 through the ball bearing 5, and the rotation of the turbine 4 can move on the threaded rod 3. The movement of the turbine 4 can then drive the placement plate 2 to move, so that the spacing between the placement plates 2 can be adjusted according to the different sizes of Bacillus culture dishes, thereby improving adaptability.
[0034] Example 2: This utility model solves the problem that existing Bacillus culture dishes are not stable enough when simply placed on the placement plate 2. By moving the clamp 7, the stability of the Bacillus culture dish placement can be improved. The following is disclosed:
[0035] A clamping plate 7 is slidably connected to the placement plate 2, and the top of the clamping plate 7 is arc-shaped. The bottom of the clamping plate 7 slides through the fixing rod 8. The two ends of the fixing rod 8 are fixed inside the placement plate 2. The inner end of the fixing rod 8 is nested with a first spring 9, and the outer end of the first spring 9 is connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate 7. The bottom of the clamping plate 7 is rotatably connected with a pawl 10, and the bottom of the pawl 10 extends into the interior of the slot 11 to form a one-way locking mechanism. The slots 11 are evenly spaced inside the placement plate 2. The bottom of the pawl 10 is connected with a second spring 12, and the top of the second spring 12 is connected to the interior of the clamping plate 7.
[0036] refer to Figures 2 to 6 After placing the Bacillus culture dish on the placement plate 2, the clamp 7 is pushed so that it can slide on the fixing rod 8. This movement of the clamp 7 compresses the first spring 9, causing it to be compressed. The clamp 7 also fits against the Bacillus culture dish, thus fixing it in place. The movement of the clamp 7 also moves the pawl 10, causing it to press against the slot 11. This causes the pawl 10 to rotate inwards from the clamp 7, disengaging it from the slot 11. The rotation of the pawl 10 also compresses the second spring 12. After the clamp 7 fixes the Bacillus culture dish, the force of the second spring 12 pushes the pawl 10 into the slot 11 to fix the position of the clamp 7, thus ensuring that the Bacillus culture dish is stably placed on the placement plate 2.
[0037] Example 3: This utility model solves the problem of the clamping plate 7 being difficult to reset in Example 2. The clamping plate 7 can be easily reset by moving the pull rope 13. The following is disclosed:
[0038] The bottom of the clamping plate 7 is connected to a pull rope 13, and the top of the pull rope 13 extends out of the clamping plate 7 and forms a sliding mechanism with the interior of the placement plate 2.
[0039] refer to Figures 2 to 6 When it is necessary to remove the Bacillus culture dish, by pulling the pull rope 13, the pull rope 13 drives the pawl 10 to rotate, thereby causing the pawl 10 to rotate and disengage from the slot 11. Then, the force of the first spring 9 pushes the clamp 7 to move in the opposite direction on the fixed rod 8, thereby allowing the clamp 7 to be reset, and then the Bacillus culture dish can be removed, thus improving the convenience of use.
[0040] Working principle: When using this type of Bacillus incubator, firstly, refer to... Figures 1 to 5Bacillus is placed inside the constant temperature incubator body 1, and the temperature is adjusted in real time by the temperature sensor inside the constant temperature incubator body 1. When placing Bacillus culture dishes of different sizes, the worm gear 6 is rotated, which drives the turbine 4 to rotate. The turbine 4 can then rotate inside the placement plate 2 through the ball bearing 5, and the rotation of the turbine 4 can move on the threaded rod 3. This allows for adjustment according to the different sizes of Bacillus culture dishes, thereby improving adaptability.
[0041] refer to Figures 2 to 6 After placing the Bacillus culture dish on the placement plate 2, the clamp 7 is pushed so that it can slide on the fixing rod 8. The movement of the clamp 7 will fit the Bacillus culture dish, and the movement of the clamp 7 will drive the pawl 10 to move. The rotation of the pawl 10 will squeeze the second spring 12, thereby compressing the second spring 12. After the clamp 7 fixes the Bacillus culture dish, the force of the second spring 12 can push the pawl 10 to extend into the slot 11 to fix the position of the clamp 7, so that the Bacillus culture dish can be stably placed on the placement plate 2.
[0042] refer to Figures 2 to 6 When it is necessary to remove the Bacillus culture dish, the pull rope 13 is pulled, which causes the pawl 10 to rotate, thereby resetting the clamp 7 and allowing the Bacillus culture dish to be removed, thus improving the ease of use.
