Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to a placement structure for a constant temperature incubator. Background Technology

[0002] In medical diagnosis, various samples such as blood, body fluids, and excrement taken from the human body are examined and observed using methods such as microbial culture and cell culture to obtain various indicators and assess human diseases and health. These tests require placing prepared petri dishes in a temperature- and humidity-controlled incubator. Chinese Patent 2022233292231 discloses an electrically heated temperature-controlled incubator that facilitates the placement of petri dishes. This patent's technical solution involves setting a pull-out petri dish placement plate inside the incubator, with multiple rows of placement slots on the plate. During testing, the petri dishes are placed in the slots and pushed into the incubator for culture experiments. This petri dish placement method has the following drawbacks: 1. The entire petri dish placement plate needs to be pulled out for use. This means that even if only one petri dish needs to be observed during the experiment, the entire plate of petri dishes must be pulled out of the incubator and exposed to the air before the desired petri dish can be retrieved for observation and data acquisition. 2. The shape of the culture dish placement tank in this technical solution is fixed, which cannot meet the needs of placing irregularly shaped culture dishes, and the tank is also difficult to clean. 3. The height of the culture dish placement plate is fixed, making it difficult to place a culture dish if its height exceeds the height between two adjacent culture dishes. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a solution to the problems of existing constant temperature incubators where multiple specimens need to be extracted and exposed as a whole when they are taken out for observation, which is not conducive to the observation of different specimens. In addition, the shape and height of the culture dish placement tank are fixed, which is not conducive to the placement of irregularly shaped culture dishes and is troublesome to clean.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: including...

[0005] Supporting member, and a petri dish tray member mounted on the supporting member;

[0006] The supporting component is a vertically fixed mounting shaft inside the constant temperature incubator; at least two bearings are mounted on the mounting shaft, a magnetic connecting sleeve is fixed on the outer ring of the bearing, and at least two annular culture dish tray slots are provided on the outer wall of the magnetic connecting sleeve.

[0007] The culture dish tray component comprises at least two sets, each set including two symmetrical semi-circular trays. A semi-circular mounting opening is provided at the center of each tray. A magnetic connecting ring that fits the shape of the outer wall of the magnetic connecting sleeve is fitted into the mounting opening. An insert that conforms to the position and shape of the slot is provided on the magnetic connecting ring. When the magnetic connecting ring and the magnetic connecting sleeve are attracted and connected, the two symmetrical semi-circular trays are joined together to form a circular culture dish tray. The insert is inserted into the slot to install the culture dish tray component on the support component.

[0008] A more specific solution also includes fixing a reinforcing plate below the bearing that connects to the culture dish tray.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, an anti-slip silicone layer is adhered to the upper surface of the culture dish tray.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment: a test tube rack is connected to the mounting shaft above the petri dish tray via a hinge, and the test tube rack can be folded upward along the hinge.

[0011] This utility model provides a placement structure for a constant temperature incubator, which has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. This structure uses a vertically fixed mounting shaft inside the chamber as a support component. The petri dish tray component is installed on the outer ring of the bearing of the mounting shaft of the support component by magnetic attraction and insertion into the slot. In use, the petri dish is placed on the petri dish tray facing the cabinet door and then the petri dish tray is rotated to send the petri dish into the chamber. When the specimen needs to be retrieved, the petri dish tray is rotated to bring the target specimen to the door of the incubator for retrieval. It is not necessary to pull out the entire tray of specimens for exposure, thus ensuring the culture environment of the specimen.

[0013] 2. The petri dish tray components of this structure are magnetically connected, making them easy to assemble and disassemble. When it is necessary to place an extra-tall petri dish, one of the petri dish trays can be removed for placement.

[0014] 3. The culture dish tray of this structure adopts a grooveless design with only an anti-slip silicone layer on its upper surface. The culture dish is placed directly on it and is not easy to slip. It is suitable for placing various irregularly shaped culture dishes. At the same time, the grooveless structure of the culture dish tray is easier to clean.

[0015] 4. This structure has a test tube rack that can be folded upwards and is located above the petri dish tray on the mounting shaft. When it is necessary to place test tube-type petri dishes, the test tube rack can be opened for use, which has strong compatibility. Attached Figure Description
