AI Technical Summary
The existing cell culture incubator has a flat shelf structure, which makes the culture dishes easy to slide and easily knock over other culture dishes when they are being placed or removed.
The design incorporates a limiting ring and a clamping assembly. By installing a sliding plate and a limiting ring on the sliding plate, the limiting ring initially limits the position of the culture dish, while the clamping assembly applies pressure to the culture dish to prevent shaking and collision.
This ensures the stability of the petri dishes within the incubator, avoids collisions between petri dishes, and makes it more convenient to place and remove petri dishes.
