[0002] In the process of culturing cells and other microorganisms, in order to reduce the impact of the external environment on the culture process, a constant temperature incubator is used to ensure the stability of the temperature during the culture process. Furthermore, through the precise control system inside the constant temperature incubator, a state close to the real physiological environment can be simulated, which can better simulate the reaction conditions in the organism.
[0003] During the use of incubators, they are sealed to prevent the external environment from affecting the internal environment. However, with prolonged use, the sealing gasket may wear down, resulting in gaps. This allows the internal environment of the incubator to come into contact with the external environment, thus affecting the culture dishes inside. To solve this problem, there is an urgent need for a cell incubator. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that during the use of a constant temperature incubator, the incubator is sealed to prevent the external environment from affecting the internal environment. However, after long-term use, the sealing gasket may wear down, resulting in gaps. This allows the internal environment of the incubator to come into contact with the external environment, thus affecting the culture dishes inside the incubator. Therefore, this invention proposes a cell constant temperature incubator.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cell constant temperature incubator, comprising a constant temperature chamber, a sealing component at the top of the constant temperature chamber, and a placement component inside the constant temperature chamber;
[0006] The sealing assembly includes a cover plate with a sealing cover on its bottom surface. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the cover plate through a through hole on its top surface. A turntable is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod. An arc-shaped groove is formed in the turntable. A connecting rod is slidably connected to the cover plate through the groove. A connecting column is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, and a pressure block is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod. A pressure strip is fixedly connected to one side of the pressure block, and a first spring is fixedly connected to one side of the pressure strip.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The cover plate is slidably connected to the top of the constant temperature chamber through a groove on its bottom surface, the connecting column is slidably connected to the arc-shaped groove, and a protrusion is provided on one side of the pressure strip and a groove is provided on the top surface of the constant temperature chamber at a position corresponding to the protrusion.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The pressure strip is located inside the sealing cover, which is located in the groove on the top surface of the constant temperature chamber, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the cover plate.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] One end of the connecting rod has a groove corresponding to the turntable, and multiple pressure strips are provided, with grooves provided at the positions where the pressure strips contact each other.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The placement assembly includes a second placement basket, and a second handle is fixedly connected to the top surface of the second placement basket.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The second handle is slidably connected to a limiting plate through slots on both sides, and a second spring is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The second handle is slidably connected to the first placement basket through a groove opened inside the basket, and the first handle is fixedly connected to the top surface of the first placement basket.
[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, by providing a pressure strip inside, after the culture dish is placed in the incubator, the rotating rod can be used to rotate the turntable, causing the pressure strip to retract. Then, the cover plate is placed on the top surface of the incubator, and the top of the incubator is inserted into the groove of the cover plate. Then, the rotating rod is released, the first spring returns to its original position, thereby moving the pressure strip and pressing the sealing cover against the inner wall of the incubator. The protrusion on one side of the pressure strip is inserted into the groove on the top surface of the incubator. Through this design, when the culture dish is being cultured at a constant temperature, the pressure strip of the first spring compresses the sealing cover, thus tightly fitting the sealing cover against the inner wall of the incubator. This reduces the possibility of instability changes in the incubator due to poor sealing, thereby ensuring that the culture dish can maintain a constant temperature. At the same time, the protrusion on one side of the pressure strip combined with the groove on the top surface of the incubator prevents the top cover from falling off.
[0023] 2. In this utility model, by providing a limiting plate inside, when picking up and storing the culture dish, the first handle can be lifted to move the first placement basket upwards, and the second placement basket can be moved upwards by the limiting plate. If only the first placement basket needs to be lifted, the limiting plate can be pressed to retract into the second handle, thereby lifting the first handle to move the first placement basket upwards. Through this design, the first and second placement baskets can be taken out together when picking up and storing the culture dish, and can be easily transported to facilitate the operator's handling. At the same time, the first and second placement baskets can be separated, further facilitating the operator's operation. Attached Figure Description

[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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cell constant temperature incubator, including a constant temperature chamber 1, a sealing component 2 at the top of the constant temperature chamber 1, and a placement component 3 inside the constant temperature chamber 1;
[0033] The sealing assembly 2 includes a cover plate 21, the bottom surface of which is provided with a sealing cover 22. The cover plate 21 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 23 through a through hole on its top surface. The bottom end of the rotating rod 23 is fixedly connected to a turntable 25. An arc-shaped groove 24 is provided in the turntable 25. The cover plate 21 is slidably connected to a connecting rod 27 through the groove. One end of the connecting rod 27 is fixedly connected to a connecting column 26, and the other end of the connecting rod 27 is fixedly connected to a pressure block 29. A pressure strip 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the pressure block 29, and a first spring 210 is fixedly connected to one side of the pressure strip 28.
[0034] The cover plate 21 is slidably connected to the top of the constant temperature chamber 1 through a groove on its bottom surface. The connecting column 26 is slidably connected to the arc groove 24. The pressure strip 28 has a protrusion on one side and a groove on the top surface of the constant temperature chamber 1 corresponding to the protrusion. The pressure strip 28 is located inside the sealing cover 22. The sealing cover 22 is located in the groove on the top surface of the constant temperature chamber 1. The other end of the first spring 210 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 21. One end of the connecting rod 27 has a groove corresponding to the turntable 25. There are multiple pressure strips 28, and grooves are opened at the contact positions of the pressure strips 28.
[0035] The specific implementation method is as follows: After the culture dish is placed in the constant temperature chamber 1, the rotating rod 23 can be used to drive the turntable 25 to rotate. At the same time, since the connecting column 26 is located in the arc groove 24, the rotation of the turntable 25 drives the connecting column 26 and the connecting rod 27 to move, and drives the pressure strip 28 to contract, thereby compressing the first spring 210. This places the cover plate 21 on the top surface of the constant temperature chamber 1 and inserts the top of the constant temperature chamber 1 into the groove of the cover plate 21. Then, the rotating rod 23 is released, the first spring 210 returns to its original state, thereby driving the pressure strip 28 to move and pressing the sealing cover 22 against the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber 1 through the pressure strip 28, and causing the protrusion on one side of the pressure strip 28 to be inserted into the groove on the top surface of the constant temperature chamber 1.
[0036] The placement assembly 3 includes a second placement basket 35, a second handle 32 fixedly connected to the top surface of the second placement basket 35, a limit plate 33 slidably connected to the second handle 32 through grooves opened on both sides thereon, a second spring 36 fixedly connected to one side of the limit plate 33, and the other end of the second spring 36 fixedly connected to the second handle 32, a first placement basket 34 provided on the top surface of the second placement basket 35, the second handle 32 slidably connected to the first placement basket 34 through a groove opened inside the first placement basket 34, and a first handle 31 fixedly connected to the top surface of the first placement basket 34.
[0037] The specific implementation method is as follows: When picking up and storing the petri dish, the first handle 31 can be lifted directly to move the first placement basket 34 upward. At the same time, the second handle 32 and the second placement basket 35 can be moved upward by the limiting plate 33. If only the first placement basket 34 needs to be removed, the limiting plate 33 can be pressed to retract into the second handle 32, thereby lifting the first handle 31 to move the first placement basket 34 upward and taking it out separately.
[0038] Working principle: After the petri dish is placed in the incubator 1, the rotating rod 23 drives the turntable 25 to rotate. Simultaneously, since the connecting post 26 is located within the arc-shaped groove 24, the rotation of the turntable 25 causes the connecting post 26 and connecting rod 27 to move, causing the pressure strip 28 to contract and compressing the first spring 210. This places the cover plate 21 on the top surface of the incubator 1, inserting the top of the incubator 1 into the groove of the cover plate 21. Then, the rotating rod 23 is released, the first spring 210 returns to its original position, causing the pressure strip 28 to move and pass through the pressure strip. 28 presses the sealing cover 22 against the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber 1, and inserts the protrusion on one side of the pressure strip 28 into the groove on the top surface of the constant temperature chamber 1. When picking up and storing the culture dish, the first handle 31 can be lifted to move the first placement basket 34 upward. At the same time, the second handle 32 and the second placement basket 35 can be moved upward by the limiting plate 33. If only the first placement basket 34 needs to be removed, the limiting plate 33 can be pressed to retract into the second handle 32, so that the first handle 31 can be lifted to move the first placement basket 34 upward and remove it separately.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
