Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of embryo culture box technology, specifically to an anti-shaking embryo culture box. Background Technology
[0002] An embryo incubator is a device specifically designed for culturing embryos. It provides an ideal growth environment to ensure that embryos develop in the best possible condition. This includes precise temperature control, gas concentration regulation, humidity maintenance, and a high degree of cleanliness to prevent infection by harmful microorganisms. These conditions are crucial for the healthy development of embryos.
[0003] According to the patent website, an embryo culture box (authorization announcement number CN 221797570 U) describes "an embryo culture box, including a culture box body and a culture dish. The bottom of the culture box body is provided with multiple placement slots. A first clamp is installed at the bottom of the placement slot. The culture dish is installed on the outer end of the first clamp by a snap-fit. Multiple grooves are provided at the bottom of the culture dish. The bottom of the grooves is provided with bottom grooves. An end cap is installed on the outer wall of the culture box body by a threaded rotation. A connection port is installed on the upper end face of the end cap. A first valve is installed on the outer wall of the connection port. An air inlet is installed on the upper end face of the connection port. Multiple heating strips are installed on the inner wall of the culture box body along its circumferential direction."
[0004] Regarding the above description, the applicant believes the following issues exist:
[0005] In this invention, embryos and eggs are placed in a bottom groove, culture medium is added to fill the groove, and then paraffin oil is added to fill the recess. The first clamp is used to limit and fix the culture dish, preventing it from shaking during transportation due to bumps. However, in actual use, this device fixes the culture dish with the bottom clamp. When fixing different types of culture dishes, the culture dish needs to be equipped with a corresponding clamp to complete the fixation. This limits the device's adaptability and makes it unable to quickly adapt to fixing different types of culture dishes. As a result, the culture dishes shake during transportation, causing them to break. Therefore, there is a need to improve the embryo culture box to prevent shaking. Utility Model Content

[0033] The fixing component 41 includes a connecting frame 411, which is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the incubator body 1. A rotary knob 412 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting frame 411. A screw 413 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotary knob 412. A wedge block 414 is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw 413. A push block 415 is slidably connected inside the incubator body 1.

A clamping pad 418 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the incubator body 1, which facilitates the quick fixing of different types of culture dishes 9.
[0034] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the corresponding position of the connecting frame 411 and the inclined block 414, and the inclined block 414 is slidably connected in the groove, which facilitates the movement of the inclined block 414.
[0035] Furthermore, the inclined surface of the inclined block 414 abuts against the inclined surface of the push block 415, and a groove is provided at the corresponding position of the incubator body 1 and the push block 415, and the push block 415 is slidably connected in the groove, which facilitates the rapid movement of the push block 415.

[0037] Furthermore, the threaded sleeve 423 has a hole at the corresponding position of the screw 422, and the screw 422 is threaded into the hole, which facilitates the movement of the pressure plate 424.
[0038] Example 2:
[0039] Based on the existing technology, there is a need to reduce the shaking of the petri dish 9 inside the incubator body 1. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 7 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, it is further found that the shock absorption mechanism 5 includes a support sleeve 51, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the incubator body 1. A damper 52 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the support sleeve 51, and a support plate 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the damper 52. A spring 53 is fixedly connected between the support plate 54 and the support sleeve 51, which facilitates shock absorption during transportation.
[0040] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the corresponding position of the support sleeve 51 and the support plate 54, and the support plate 54 is slidably connected in the groove, so that the support plate 54 can move along the guide of the support sleeve 51.
[0041] In actual operation, when the device is used, firstly, the embryonic eggs are placed into the groove 12 of the culture dish 9, culture medium is added to the groove 12, and then paraffin oil is added to fill the groove 12. Then, the culture dish 9 is placed into the corresponding slot at the bottom of the incubator body 1. Through the fixed pressing mechanism 4, the rotary knob 412 is manually rotated, which drives the screw 413 to rotate. The screw 413 then drives the inclined block 414 to move downward. During the downward movement of the inclined block 414, it pushes the push block 415 towards the culture dish 9, so that the clamping pad 417 set on the outside of the push block 415 gradually approaches the outside of the culture dish 9. Then, with the cooperation of the clamping pad 418, the culture dish 9 is fixed between the clamping pad 417 and the clamping pad 418, thereby quickly completing the fixation of the culture dish 9. The device is designed to quickly fix different types of culture dishes 9. Then, the end cap 2 is reset. According to the height of the culture dish 9, the adjustment knob 421 is manually turned. The adjustment knob 421 drives the screw 422 to rotate. The screw 422 then drives the threaded sleeve 423 to move along the telescopic sleeve rod 426 guide, which in turn drives the pressure plate 424 to move downward. The pressure plate 424 then drives the rubber pad 425 to move downward, so that the rubber pad 425 abuts against the top of the culture dish 9, thus completing the secondary fixation of the culture dish 9. During transportation, the shock absorption mechanism 5 is set up so that when the outside is bumped, the support plate 54 moves and moves along the support sleeve 51 guide, thereby compressing the spring 53 and absorbing the energy brought by the bumps by the damper 52.
