Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of portable embryo culture box technology, specifically a portable embryo culture box. Background Technology

[0002] Portable embryo incubators are devices specifically designed for embryo development and culture, widely used in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) technology and animal reproduction. Unlike traditional large embryo incubators, portable embryo incubators are small, lightweight, easy to carry and operate, making them ideal for use in confined spaces or environments requiring mobility. The main function of this device is to provide a microenvironment with controllable temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration to promote normal embryonic development. Temperature and carbon dioxide concentration are crucial factors in embryonic development, and portable embryo incubators are typically equipped with precise temperature control systems that maintain a constant temperature (usually 37°C) and a suitable carbon dioxide concentration through a built-in carbon dioxide gas supply system. Furthermore, portable embryo incubators are equipped with transparent observation windows, allowing operators to observe and monitor embryos without opening the incubator, avoiding interference from the external environment. Due to their convenient design and high portability, portable embryo incubators are suitable for mobile needs requiring on-site operation or clinical diagnosis, making them one of the important auxiliary devices in modern reproductive medicine.

[0003] Existing embryo incubators typically use gas as a heat transfer medium to provide temperature to the test tubes. However, due to the relatively sealed nature of the incubator, the temperature flow inside is uneven, which may result in the temperature not being sufficient for normal embryo development. In addition, for portability, these devices are sometimes equipped with casters at the bottom, but this reduces the stability of the device. When the device moves on sloping terrain, the test tubes may tilt, potentially causing internal materials to splash out and affecting embryo growth. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] This mechanism provides a uniform heat flow to the test tubes inside incubator 1. It ensures even heat distribution within the airflow path, resolving potential issues of uneven heat distribution inside the test tubes. Furthermore, this mechanism enhances the airtightness of incubator 1, thereby improving temperature maintenance. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a portable embryo culture box, including a culture box 1, a box cover 2 provided on the upper side of the culture box 1 and a control panel 3 provided on one side of the culture box 1, a uniform heat circulation mechanism 4 provided inside the culture box 1, and a stable transfer mechanism 5 provided on the lower side of the culture box 1;

A guide fan blade 403 is fixedly connected to the upper output end of the dual-axis motor 402, and a blower fan blade 404 is fixedly connected to the lower output end of the dual-axis motor 402. The blower fan blade 404 is located inside the heat flow chamber 401. A test tube tray 405 is fixedly connected inside the incubator 1. A guide plate 406 is fitted onto the outer wall of the test tube tray 405. Multiple square slots 407 are formed inside the incubator 1, and the guide plate 406 is located at the upper square slot 407 inside the incubator 1. A return channel 408 is provided between the square slots 407, and a connecting channel 409 is provided between the return channel 408 and the hot flow chamber 401. A baffle 410 is fixedly connected to one side of the incubator 1, a spring 411 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 410, and a sealing plate 412 is fixedly connected to one side of the spring 411. The sealing plate 412 is slidably connected inside one side of the baffle 410. A heating element 413 is provided inside the hot flow chamber 401. The output of the dual-axis motor 402 provides a uniform airflow pressure supply to the inside of the incubator 1. At the same time, the sealing plate 412 can reduce the heat conversion between the hot airflow inside the incubator 1 and the external space.

[0029] Furthermore, the hot flow chamber 401 is connected to the space below the test tube tray 405 inside the incubator 1 and is provided with multiple cylindrical openings.

[0030] Furthermore, the outer side of the diversion plate 406 is provided with multiple slots that are connected to the return channel 408, and the inner side of the diversion plate 406 is provided with multiple slots.

[0031] Furthermore, the inside of the box cover 2 is provided with a slot, which is connected to the inside of the test tube, and multiple air vents are connected to one side of the slot.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] This mechanism is used for the smooth transfer of incubator 1. It solves the problem of potential spillage of contents from the test tubes when incubator 1 encounters sloping terrain during transfer. Simultaneously, this mechanism reduces vibration to some extent. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1-5Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the smooth transfer mechanism 5 includes a counterweight 501, which is fixedly connected to the lower side of the incubator 1. A rotating shaft 502 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the incubator 1. A support 503 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 502. A frame plate 504 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the lower end of the support 503. A handle 505 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame plate 504. A caster wheel 506 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the frame plate 504. A piston column 507 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame plate 504. A pressure transmission plate 5 is slidably and sealed inside the piston column 507. 08. An elastic element 509 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the pressure transmission plate 508. A slide frame 510 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the incubator 1. A sliding column 511 is slidably connected inside the slide frame 510. A limit rod 512 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 511. The lower end of the limit rod 512 is fixedly connected to the pressure transmission plate 508. A pressure transfer tube 513 is provided inside the piston column 507. This mechanism increases the flexibility of the incubator. At the same time, in conjunction with air pressure and the elastic element 509, the incubator 1 can be stably adjusted in posture, which facilitates the reduction of interference to the embryos inside the test tube.

[0034] Furthermore, the carriage 510 has an L-shaped cross-section.

[0035] Furthermore, the pressure transfer tube 513 is connected to the lower end of the piston rod 507.

[0036] In actual operation, when using this device, the user inserts a test tube or culture tray containing embryos into the test tube tray 405. The user can then adjust the temperature of the heating element 413 as needed. The user then starts the dual-axis motor 402. When the dual-axis motor 402 outputs air, its lower output end drives the fan blades 404 to generate airflow. Simultaneously, when the upper output end of the dual-axis motor 402 operates, it works in conjunction with the fan blades 404 to deliver the hot airflow around the test tube tray 405. Then, the negative pressure zone on the other side of the fan blades 404 draws the airflow into the hot air chamber 401 for heating and circulation. This mechanism ensures that the airflow path is evenly distributed around the test tube tray 405. At the same time, the sealing plate 412 ensures that there is a certain pressure inside the incubator 1, making the internal temperature of the incubator 1 more stable and reducing the possibility of heat transfer. When the user moves the chamber, he can pull it directly by the handle 505. Through the air pressure transfer inside the piston column 507 and the cooperation of the elastic element 509, the incubator 1 can be adjusted slowly and smoothly. It can adjust the angle automatically when the incubator 1 is tilted, or disperse the vibration force by slowly shaking the incubator 1 when it is vibrated.
