[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-6 A foldable portable cell culture box includes a box body 1, a front panel 2 and a rear panel 3 on one side of the box body 1, a plurality of side panels 4 between the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3, and a folding assembly between the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3.

[0029] The folding assembly includes two sets of adjusting rods 6. The two sets of adjusting rods 6 are used to adjust the distance between the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3 to fold the box 1.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-6 Each set of adjusting rods 6 consists of two rods, which are rotatably connected. The front plate 2 and the rear plate 3 each have two limiting grooves 7 on both sides. The interior of each limiting groove 7 has a sliding groove 11. Each limiting groove 7 has two protrusions 12 on one side of its inner wall. Each adjusting rod 6 has a slider 8 rotatably connected to both ends on one side. Each slider 8 has a limiting block 9 on one side. Each limiting block 9 is slidably connected to the corresponding sliding groove 11. Each slider 8 has a slot 10 on one side. Each protrusion 12 is engaged with the corresponding slot 10. Each protrusion 12 is made of elastic material. The interior of the box 1 has an inner liner 5. Multiple side plates 4 and the inner liner 5 have multiple creases.

[0031] The folding assembly allows the case 1 to be folded for easy carrying. Specifically, when folding the case 1, hold the front panel 2 and rear panel 3 with both hands, then gradually decrease the angle between the two sets of adjusting rods 6. The adjusting rods 6 then move the slider 8 within the groove 11 of the limiting groove 7. Since the protrusion 12 is made of elastic material, the slider 8 will compress the protrusion 12 as it moves, causing it to deform elastically, thus allowing the slider 8 to move smoothly. When the adjusting rod 6 rotates to the appropriate angle, allowing the case 1 to reach the desired folding degree, the protrusion 12 will engage in the slot 10, fixing the position of the adjusting rod 6 and thus fixing the distance between the front panel 2 and rear panel 3. Simultaneously, multiple side panels 4 fold along the creases, and the inner liner 5 also folds, completing the folding process of the case 1, making it easy to carry and transport, thus meeting the portability requirements for applications such as field experiments.

[0032] When it is necessary to open the box 1, the first step is to operate the adjusting rod 6. Hold the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3 with both hands and pull them outwards with a little force. This will cause the protrusion 12 to be squeezed by external force. Because it is made of elastic material, it will undergo elastic deformation again and then disengage from the slot 10, releasing the fixation on the slider 8. Then, gradually increase the included angle between the adjusting rods 6. The adjusting rods 6 will drive the slider 8 to slide in the opposite direction within the sliding groove 11 of the limiting groove 7. As the adjusting rods 6 rotate, the distance between the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3 will gradually increase. The side panel 4 will unfold in the opposite direction along the crease, and the inner liner 5 will also unfold accordingly until the box 1 is completely restored to its initial unfolded state, at which point it can be used normally.

[0033] The folding component enhances the portability of the enclosure 1. Whether in field experiments or in laboratory settings where space is limited and frequent equipment movement is required, it can be easily folded into a compact state, facilitating transportation and storage, reducing space occupation, and solving the problem of traditional cell culture chambers being difficult to move due to their large size and weight. Furthermore, the folding component makes the folding and unfolding of the enclosure 1 simple and easy, allowing for transformation through simple manual operation. During folding and unfolding, the components work closely and stably, ensuring the structural integrity of the enclosure 1 and guaranteeing the reliability and practicality of the cell culture chamber in different usage scenarios, providing greater flexibility and convenience for cell culture work.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-6 A door 13 is provided on one side of the front panel 2, and a handle 14 is provided on one side of the door 13. A handle 15 is provided on the top of the box body 1. The number of handles 15 is set to two, and the two handles 15 are respectively located on the top of the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3.

[0035] The door 13 and handle 14 make it easy to put in and take out cultured items. Two handles 15 on the top of the box body 1 make it easy for a single person to lift the culture box. This makes the foldable portable cell culture box more convenient, labor-saving and stable when carried and moved, and suitable for a variety of usage scenarios.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 The back panel 3 has a mesh bag 16 on one side, a first placement bag 17 on one side of the mesh bag 16, and two second placement bags 18 on one side of the first placement bag 17. Each second placement bag 18 has an elastic band 19 at its top.

[0037] The rear panel 3 has a mesh bag 16, a first placement bag 17, and two second placement bags 18 with elastic straps 19 on one side, which facilitates the classification and storage of small experimental tools, reagent bottles, consumables and other items during cell culture, making the operation more convenient and efficient. At the same time, it prevents items from rolling and colliding randomly in the box, ensuring a stable cell culture environment and easy access to the required items, thus enhancing the practicality and functionality of the foldable portable cell culture box.

[0038] Working principle: When the case 1 needs to be folded, hold the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3 with both hands respectively, and then gradually reduce the angle between the two sets of adjusting rods 6. The adjusting rods 6 will then drive the slider 8 to slide in the slide groove 11 of the limiting groove 7. Since the protrusion 12 is made of elastic material, the slider 8 will squeeze the protrusion 12 when it moves, causing it to undergo elastic deformation, so that the slider 8 can move smoothly. When the adjusting rod 6 is rotated to a suitable angle, so that the case 1 reaches the expected degree of folding, the protrusion 12 will be locked into the slot 10, which will play a fixing role, fix the position of the adjusting rod 6, and thus fix the distance between the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3. At the same time, multiple side panels 4 fold along the creases, and the inner liner 5 also folds, completing the folding process of the case 1, making it easy to carry and transport, so as to meet the portability requirements of such as field experiments.

[0039] When it is necessary to open the box 1, the first step is to operate the adjusting rod 6. Hold the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3 with both hands and pull them outwards with a little force. This will cause the protrusion 12 to be squeezed by external force. Because it is made of elastic material, it will undergo elastic deformation again and then disengage from the slot 10, releasing the fixation on the slider 8. Then, gradually increase the included angle between the adjusting rods 6. The adjusting rods 6 will drive the slider 8 to slide in the opposite direction within the sliding groove 11 of the limiting groove 7. As the adjusting rods 6 rotate, the distance between the front panel 2 and the rear panel 3 will gradually increase. The side panel 4 will unfold in the opposite direction along the crease, and the inner liner 5 will also unfold accordingly until the box 1 is completely restored to its initial unfolded state, at which point it can be used normally.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
