[0002] Food inspection includes sensory evaluation of food, as well as testing for nutrients, additives, and harmful substances. Food testing generally requires the use of incubators, which are temperature-controlled chambers primarily used for culturing microorganisms, plant and animal cells.

[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN221836961U) that discloses a food testing incubator, including a food bacteria incubator. The incubator has a lid at its top, a portable handle mounted on its upper outer surface, and an opening / closing handle mounted on the upper outer surface of the lid. Support frames are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the incubator's inner cavity. Two sets of support frames are used, and a test tube retainer is fixedly installed between the two sets. Each support frame includes a support column, a retaining block, a nut, and a threaded section. The test tube retainer in this food testing incubator allows for adjustment based on test tube length, improving applicability and facilitating test tube placement. The support frames also provide support for the retainer, enhancing its stability within the food bacteria incubator.

[0004] It allows for the insertion of test tubes of different lengths by adjusting the height of the lower support plate. However, it has a drawback: once the height of the support plate is adjusted, only test tubes of the same length can be inserted into the test tube holder. Test tubes of different lengths cannot be inserted at the same time, which limits its use. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a food testing incubator, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a food testing incubator, comprising a box body, a box cover rotatably connected to the top of the box body, an insert plate fixed inside the box body, an adjustment mechanism inside the box body, the adjustment mechanism comprising multiple movable frames, multiple adjusting screws rotatably connected inside the insert plate, the bottom end of the adjusting screw passing through the movable frame and screwed to the movable frame, the bottom end of the adjusting screw being fixedly connected to the lower inner surface of the box body, two limiting rods slidably connected inside the movable frame, the two ends of the limiting rods being fixedly connected to the bottom of the insert plate and the lower inner surface of the box body respectively, a pad is provided on the inner side of the movable frame, a sliding rod is slidably connected inside the pad, the two ends of the sliding rod being fixedly connected to the bottom of the insert plate and the lower inner surface of the box body respectively.

[0007] Preferably, the interior of the enclosure is equipped with heating and cooling devices, and the interior rear surface of the enclosure is fixed with a battery, a temperature sensor, and a control device.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of fixing cylinders are fixed on the lower inner surface of the housing, and a spring is fixed inside the fixing cylinder. The other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting screw.

[0009] Preferably, the insert plate has multiple ratchet gears inside, the inner sidewall of the ratchet gears is fixedly connected to the outer sidewall of the adjusting screw, the insert plate has multiple storage holes inside, a compression spring is fixed inside the storage holes, a ratchet block is fixed to the other end of the compression spring, a sliding groove is opened on the top of the insert plate, a moving rod is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, a pull rope is fixed to the front end of the ratchet block, and the pull rope and the moving rod are fixedly connected.

[0010] Preferably, a movable frame is slidably connected inside the box, and multiple fixed rods are fixed inside the movable frame. Multiple support blocks are fixed to the left side of the fixed rods. The support blocks are located below the pad blocks. A lifting screw is rotatably connected inside the insert plate.

The bottom end of the lifting screw is rotatably connected to the lower inner surface of the box.

[0011] Preferably, a handle is rotatably connected to the outside of the box.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] This invention provides a food testing incubator. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. This food testing incubator has an adjustment mechanism. By rotating the adjustment screw, the moving frame moves and rises along with the pad. This allows the distance between the pad and the insert plate to be adjusted according to the length of the test tube, so that test tubes of different lengths can be placed.

[0015] 2. This food testing incubator is equipped with a spring-loaded mechanism, ratchet, ratchet block, pull rope, and moving rod. The rotation of the adjusting screw causes the spring-loaded mechanism to deform. The ratchet block and ratchet block interlock to prevent the adjusting screw from reversing. When the pad needs to return to its original position, the moving rod is pulled, which in turn pulls the pull rope. The pull rope pulls the ratchet block, causing the ratchet block and ratchet to separate. The spring-loaded mechanism causes the adjusting screw to reverse, thus lowering the moving frame. Without the support of the moving frame, the pad also descends to the bottom due to gravity.

[0016] 3. This food testing incubator is equipped with a lifting screw, a moving frame, fixed rods, and support blocks. When the lifting screw is rotated, the lifting screw raises the moving frame, multiple fixed rods, and multiple support blocks. The multiple support blocks raise multiple pads. In this way, if all test tubes are of the same length, the height of all pads can be adjusted simultaneously, which is simple and convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a food testing incubator, including a box body 1, a box cover 2 rotatably connected to the top of the box body 1, an insert plate 13 fixed inside the box body 1, an adjustment mechanism 11 inside the box body 1, the adjustment mechanism 11 including multiple moving frames 28, multiple adjusting screws 15 rotatably connected inside the insert plate 13, the bottom end of the adjusting screw 15 passing through the moving frame 28 and screwed to the moving frame 28, the bottom end of the adjusting screw 15 being fixedly connected to the lower inner surface of the box body 1, and two limiting rods 5 slidably connected inside the moving frame 28, the two ends of the limiting rods 5 being respectively connected to the bottom of the insert plate 13 and... The lower inner surface of the box 1 is fixedly connected to a pad 7 on the inner side of the movable frame 28. A slide rod 12 is slidably connected inside the pad 7. The two ends of the slide rod 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the insert plate 13 and the lower inner surface of the box 1, respectively. This allows the height of the pad 7 to be adjusted according to the different lengths of individual test tubes. The box 1 is equipped with a heating device 6 and a cooling device 26. A battery 14, a temperature sensor 27, and a control device 4 are fixedly connected to the rear inner surface of the box 1. This allows the temperature inside the box 1 to be controlled. A handle 3 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the box 1, which facilitates the movement of the carrying device.

[0026] Furthermore, multiple fixed cylinders 16 are fixed to the lower inner surface of the housing 1. A spring-loaded spring 17 is fixed inside the fixed cylinder 16. The other end of the spring-loaded spring 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting screw 15, so that the adjusting screw 15 can automatically reverse. Multiple ratchet gears 21 are provided inside the insert plate 13. The inner wall of the ratchet gear 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting screw 15. Multiple storage holes 25 are opened inside the insert plate 13. Compression springs 24 are fixed inside the storage holes 25. A ratchet block 23 is fixed to the other end of the compression spring 24. A sliding groove 18 is opened on the top of the insert plate 13. A moving rod 19 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 18. A pull rope 20 is fixed to the front end of the ratchet block 23. The pull rope 20 and the moving rod 19 are fixedly connected, so as to prevent the adjusting screw 15 from reversing.

[0027] Furthermore, a movable frame 8 is slidably connected inside the housing 1. Multiple fixed rods 10 are fixed inside the movable frame 8. Multiple support blocks 9 are fixed to the left side of the fixed rods 10. The support blocks 9 are located below the pad blocks 7. A lifting screw 22 is rotatably connected inside the insert plate 13. The bottom end of the lifting screw 22 passes through the movable frame 8 and is screwed to the movable frame 8. The bottom end of the lifting screw 22 is rotatably connected to the lower inner surface of the housing 1, so that multiple pad blocks 7 can move simultaneously.

[0028] During operation, rotating the adjusting screw 15 moves the moving frame 28, which in turn moves and raises the pad 7. This allows the distance between the pad 7 and the insertion plate 13 to be adjusted according to the length of the test tube, enabling the placement of test tubes of different lengths. Individual adjustments can be made based on the length of each test tube. If all test tubes are of the same length, pulling the moving rod 19 pulls the pull rope 20, which in turn pulls the ratchet block 23. The ratchet block 23 and the ratchet gear 21 separate and enter the receiving hole 25. The spring 17 causes the adjusting screw 15 to reverse, causing the moving frame 28 to descend. Without the support of the moving frame 28, the pad 7 also descends to the bottom due to gravity. This ensures that all pads 7 descend to the bottom. Then, rotating the lifting screw 22 moves the moving frame 8, which in turn moves multiple fixing rods 10. The fixing rods 10 raise multiple support blocks 9, which in turn raise multiple pads 7. This allows for simultaneous adjustment of the height of all pads 7, facilitating the insertion of test tubes of the same length.
