[0031] 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.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a multifunctional portable incubator for on-site microbial testing of water quality and food, including a base 1. From bottom to top, the top of the base 1 is provided with a first chamber 2, a second chamber 3, and a third chamber 4. Air inlet pipe groups 5 and air outlet pipe groups 6 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the first chamber 2, second chamber 3, and third chamber 4. A circulating heating component 7 is installed on the base 1. Connecting components are used between adjacent air inlet pipe groups 5, between adjacent air outlet pipe groups 6, and between the bottommost air inlet pipe group 5, air outlet pipe group 6, and circulating heating component 7. The base 1 is connected to the first chamber 2, the first chamber 2 to the second chamber 3, and the second chamber 3 to the third chamber 4 via positioning components 9. This divides the incubator into multiple structures, avoiding the problem of a single incubator being too bulky to carry. Single or multiple chambers can be assembled as needed, and the positioning components 9 facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the multiple structures of the incubator. This allows the air inside the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4 to circulate and circulate for heating, thereby maintaining a constant internal temperature in the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4.

[0033] Specifically, the openings of the first box 2, the second box 3, and the third box 4 are all equipped with sealing doors 10. The sealing doors 10 are equipped with handles 11 and transparent observation windows 12. The transparent observation windows 12 facilitate observation of the internal conditions of the first box 2, the second box 3, and the third box 4.

[0034] Furthermore, the intake pipe assembly 5 includes an intake vertical pipe 501, with intake branch pipes 502 connected to both sides of the intake vertical pipe 501. The intake branch pipes 502 are equipped with equidistantly arranged air inlets 503, which extend into the first housing 2, the second housing 3, and the third housing 4 respectively. The air in the first housing 2, the second housing 3, and the third housing 4 is discharged by the intake pipe assembly 5.

[0035] Furthermore, the air outlet assembly 6 includes an air outlet vertical pipe 601, with air outlet branch pipes 602 connected to both sides of the air outlet vertical pipe 601. Air outlets 603 are installed on the air outlet branch pipes 602 at equal intervals. The air outlets 603 extend into the first housing 2, the second housing 3, and the third housing 4 respectively. Hot air is introduced into the first housing 2, the second housing 3, and the third housing 4 through the air outlet assembly 6.

[0036] It is worth noting that valves 13 are installed near the bottom of both the intake vertical pipe 501 and the exhaust vertical pipe 601 to control the air entering and exiting the first housing 2, the second housing 3, and the third housing 4.

[0037] It is worth noting that the circulating heating assembly 7 includes an air inlet pipe 701, which is connected to a filter 702. The filter 702 can filter the air in the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4 to prevent impurities from appearing in the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4. The filter 702 is connected to a hot air blower 703 through a pipe. The hot air blower 703 is used for circulating heating of the air in the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4. The outlet of the hot air blower 703 is connected to an air outlet pipe 704. A bypass pipe 705 is connected between the pipes connected to both ends of the filter 702. After the air in the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4 is purified, the air can be connected to the bypass pipe 705 to reduce airflow resistance. Control valves 706 are installed on both the bypass pipe 705 and the air inlet pipe 701 near the filter 702.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the plug-in assembly 8 includes a sleeve 801, a sealing ring 802 is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 801, and an insertion tube 803 is provided inside the sealing ring 802. The sealing ring 802 is in close contact with the insertion tube 803 for quick connection of the pipe.

[0039] It is worth emphasizing that the positioning component 9 includes positioning grooves 901 respectively opened at the four corner positions of the top of the base 1, the first box 2, and the second box 3. Positioning blocks 902 are provided in the positioning grooves 901. The positioning blocks 902 are fixed to the bottom of the first box 2, the second box 3, and the third box 4 respectively. Positioning holes 903 are opened on the two positioning blocks 902 on the rear side. Positioning rods 904 are provided in the positioning holes 903. Movable plates 905 are fixedly connected to the positioning rods 904. A cylinder 906 is provided on the outside of the movable plate 905. A movable rod 907 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate 905 away from the positioning rods 904. The end of the movable rod 907 passes through the cylinder 906 and is fixedly connected to a pull rod 908. A spring 909 is sleeved on the movable rod 907 inside the cylinder 906 to realize quick assembly and disassembly between the base 1, the first box 2, the second box 3, and the third box 4.

[0040] The hot air blower 703 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. In addition, this utility model also includes a power supply, a controller and a switch, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Working principle and process: During use, the hot air blower 703 of the circulating heating component 7 is started. Air from the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4 is introduced into the air intake pipe 701 through the air inlet 503, the air intake branch pipe 502, and the air intake vertical pipe 501 of the air intake pipe assembly 5. The air is then filtered by the filter 702 to remove impurities and avoid interfering with the cultivation of microorganisms. After air purification, the control valve 706 on the bypass pipe 705 can be opened to allow air to pass through the bypass pipe 705, thereby reducing the airflow resistance of the filter 702. Subsequently, the air is heated by the hot air blower 703 and then introduced out through the air outlet pipe 704. The air duct assembly 6 allows hot air to be discharged into the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4 via the exhaust vertical pipe 601, the exhaust branch pipe 602, and the exhaust port 603, thus maintaining a constant temperature inside the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4 to facilitate the cultivation of microorganisms. When the incubator needs to be disassembled, the pull rod 908 of the positioning assembly 9 is pulled, which in turn moves the movable rod 907, causing the movable plate 905 and the positioning rod 904 to move, so that the positioning rod 904 leaves the positioning hole 903 on the positioning block 902. This allows the base 1, the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4 to be separated, facilitating the carrying of the incubator.
