[0002] A laboratory is a place where experiments are conducted; it is the cradle of science. During scientific experiments, the ambient temperature within the laboratory should be effectively maintained to ensure it meets the relevant temperature requirements.

[0003] Existing laboratory environmental temperature control devices include laboratory walls, with a thermostat fixedly connected inside the walls. Multiple evenly distributed fan blades are rotatably connected to the outer end of the thermostat, allowing for temperature regulation. While existing solutions can regulate laboratory temperature, they result in uneven temperature distribution within the laboratory. This uneven temperature distribution is due to the different densities of hot and cold air, leading to varying air temperatures at different altitudes and consequently, uneven temperature distribution within the laboratory.

[0004] Therefore, existing laboratory temperature control devices suffer from uneven temperature regulation. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The specific embodiments shown below are intended to describe various configurations of the subject matter of this invention and are not intended to represent the only configuration in which the subject matter of this invention can be practiced. The specific embodiments include detailed descriptions intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter of this invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of this invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.

[0038] Understandably, in this document, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and are not intended to expressly or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0039] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a temperature control device for a laboratory includes a temperature controller 1;

[0041] Air outlet assembly 2, through which the temperature regulator 1 supplies air to the laboratory;

[0042] A flexible duct 21 is disposed between the temperature regulator 1 and the air outlet assembly 2, and the airflow output by the temperature regulator 1 enters the air outlet assembly 2 through the flexible duct 21.

[0043] and position adjustment component 3, wherein the air outlet component 2 is installed on the position adjustment component 3;

[0044] The position adjustment component 3 includes a track 31 and a slide 32 disposed on the track 31. The slide 32 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the slide 32 to move along the track 31. The slide 32 is also provided with a locking mechanism for locking the slide 32 to the track 31. The driving mechanism drives the slide 32 to move along the track 31 through the locking mechanism.

[0045] The air outlet assembly 2 includes a housing 22, and a fan 221 is provided inside the housing 22 to blow the airflow sent into the flexible duct 21 into the laboratory.

[0046] In some embodiments, the output efficiency of the fan 221 is equal to the air output efficiency of the temperature regulator 1. At this time, the airflow output by the fan 221 is completely the airflow output by the temperature regulator 1. Since the position of the air outlet component 2 can be adjusted, the air outlet component 2 can be made to outlet air at different positions in this state, forming dynamic air outlet, which makes the temperature in the laboratory more uniform.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the output power of the fan 221 is greater than the air outlet efficiency of the temperature regulator 1. In this case, a portion of the gas in the laboratory mixes with the gas output by the temperature regulator 1 before being output by the air outlet assembly 2. In this scheme, the airflow output by the temperature regulator 1 mixes with the gas in the laboratory before being output by the air outlet assembly 2, making the temperature in the laboratory more uniform.

[0048] In some embodiments, the fan 221 can be powered by mains electricity, which supplies power to the fan 221 through a cable. The cable can be wound around the flexible duct 21, making the cable easy to arrange and not easy to get tangled.

[0049] In some embodiments, the fan 221 may also be powered by a battery, which may be mounted on the slide 32.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a buffer cavity 222 is provided inside the outer shell 22, the buffer cavity 222 is connected to the flexible pipe 21, and the airflow output by the temperature regulator 1 enters the buffer cavity 222 through the flexible pipe 21.

[0051] In some embodiments, when the output power of the fan 221 is greater than the output power of the temperature regulator 1, an air inlet is also provided on the housing 22. The air inlet is used to allow air in the laboratory to enter the buffer chamber 222 and mix with the airflow output by the temperature regulator 1 in the buffer chamber 222.

[0052] In some embodiments, the fan 221 includes a drive shaft 2211, which is rotatably connected to the buffer chamber 222. The drive shaft 2211 is provided with blades 2212 that blow airflow from the buffer chamber 222 into the laboratory.

[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the fan 221 includes an electric motor, the drive shaft 2211 can be the rotor of the electric motor, and the stator of the electric motor can be disposed inside the housing 22, with the rotor sleeved on the stator. The stator can be fixed inside the housing 22 in any way. For example, the stator can be mounted on the side wall of the buffer cavity 222 via a shaft seat.

[0054] In some embodiments, the outer casing 22 is further provided with an air outlet 223, which communicates with the buffer chamber 222, and the airflow driven by the blades 2212 enters the laboratory through the air outlet 223.

[0055] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the air outlet 223 can be circular, or the cross-sectional shape of the air outlet 223 can be polygonal. The shape of the air outlet 223 is not limited and can be any shape.

[0056] In some embodiments, the track 31 is provided with a guide groove 311, the slide 32 is provided with a slider 321 that cooperates with the guide groove 311, and the air outlet assembly 2 is installed on the slide 32.

[0057] In some embodiments, the track 31 is provided with a rack 312, and the drive mechanism includes a gear 322 that meshes with the rack 312, the gear 322 being rotatably connected to the slide 32.

[0058] In some embodiments, the rack 312 may be an integral part of the track 31. Alternatively, the rack 312 may be detachably fixed to the track 31.

[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking mechanism includes a worm gear 323 mounted on the gear 322, and the locking mechanism also includes a worm 324 rotatably connected to the slide 32 and cooperating with the worm gear 323. The driving mechanism also includes a motor that drives the worm 324, and the motor is mounted on the slide 32.

[0060] The motor drives the worm 324 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 323 to rotate. The worm wheel 323 then drives the gear 322 to rotate. The gear 322 meshes with the rack 312. Since the rack 312 is stationary, the gear 322 can drive the slide 32 to move along the track 31 when it rotates.

[0061] Understandably, since the worm gear 324 and worm wheel 323 have a self-locking characteristic, the worm wheel 323 will not drive the worm gear 324 to rotate. When the motor stops rotating, the slide block 32 will be locked onto the track 31 because the worm wheel 323 cannot drive the worm gear 324 to rotate.

[0062] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the gear 322 is provided with a shaft 325, the shaft 325 is rotatably connected to the slide 32, the worm gear 323 is mounted on the gear 322 through the shaft 325, the worm gear 323 and the gear 322 are coaxially arranged, and the shaft 325 and the gear 322 are coaxially arranged.

[0063] In some embodiments, the gear 322, shaft 325, and worm gear 323 can be an integral structure.

[0064] In some embodiments, the slide 32 is provided with an assembly hole that mates with the shaft 325, and a rolling bearing is provided between the shaft 325 and the assembly hole.

[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the track 31 is semi-circular in shape, and the slider 321 has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape.

[0066] When the shape of the track 31 is semi-circular, the slide 32 can move in two directions when it moves along the track 31. That is, the slide 32 can be adjusted in both the vertical and horizontal directions at the same time, thus making the position adjustment of the air assembly 2 more flexible.

[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the track 31 can be fixed to the laboratory wall in any way. For example, the track 31 can be fixed to the laboratory wall with screws.

[0068] In some embodiments, the motor may be powered by mains electricity. The mains electricity supplies power to the motor via a cable. The cable may be wound around the flexible conduit 21.

[0069] In some embodiments, the flexible pipe 21 may be a corrugated pipe.

[0070] In some embodiments, the temperature regulator 1 may be an air conditioner.

[0071] In some embodiments, the connection between the flexible pipe 21 and the temperature regulator 1 is located at the center of the track 31.

[0072] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.

[0073] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments according to their needs to achieve a better application experience.

[0074] When implementing the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can obtain other detailed configurations or drawings based on the subject matter technical solution and the accompanying drawings. Obviously, without departing from the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, these details still fall within the scope of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model.
