[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vertical shaking incubator, comprising a body and a culture mechanism installed inside the body, wherein the culture mechanism includes an adjustment component and a fixing component;

[0006] The adjustment assembly includes a culture chamber, a door panel, a drive motor, a drive wheel, a transmission belt, a driven wheel, an eccentric shaft, a vibrating plate, a buffer chamber, guide rods, vibration springs, a placement chamber, and a fan. The culture chamber is located inside the machine body. A door panel is installed at the front of the machine body. A drive motor is installed at the lower left of the machine body. A drive wheel is installed at the output end of the drive motor. A driven wheel is installed on top of the drive wheel. A transmission belt is wound between the drive wheel and the driven wheel. An eccentric shaft penetrating the machine body is installed on the right side of both the driven wheel and the transmission belt. A vibrating plate is fixedly installed on the right side of the eccentric shaft. Guide rods are installed on both the left and right sides of the vibrating plate. A buffer chamber is formed on the inner wall of the machine body corresponding to the guide rods. Vibration springs are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the vibrating plate. The vibration springs are wound around the outside of the guide rods. Placement chambers are arrayed on the top surface of the vibrating plate. A fan is fixedly installed on the top of the culture chamber.

[0007] The fixing assembly includes a rubber bottom ring, a rotating shaft, a wedge plate, a top plate, a clamping ring, a locking block, locking holes and slots, a locking spring, and a locking block.

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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, a vertical shaking incubator includes a body 1 and a culture mechanism installed inside the body 1. The culture mechanism includes an adjustment component and a fixing component.

[0026] The adjustment components include a culture chamber 2, a door panel 3, a drive motor 4, a drive wheel 5, a transmission belt 6, a driven wheel 7, an eccentric shaft 8, a vibrating plate 9, a buffer chamber 10, a guide rod 11, a vibration spring 12, a placement chamber 13, and a fan 24. The culture chamber 2 is located inside the body 1. The door panel 3 is installed at the front of the body 1. The drive motor 4 is installed on the lower left side of the body 1. The drive wheel 5 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 4. The driven wheel 7 is installed on the top of the drive wheel 5. A transmission belt is wound between the drive wheel 5 and the driven wheel 7. An eccentric shaft 8 is installed on the right side of the driven wheel 7 and the transmission belt 6, passing through the machine body 1. An oscillating plate 9 is fixedly installed on the right side of the eccentric shaft 8. Guide rods 11 are installed on both the left and right sides of the oscillating plate 9. A buffer cavity 10 is opened on the inner wall of the machine body 1 at the position corresponding to the guide rod 11. Vibration springs 12 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the oscillating plate 9. The vibration springs 12 are wound around the outside of the guide rods 11. Placement cavities 13 are arrayed on the top surface of the oscillating plate 9. A fan 24 is fixedly installed on the top of the culture chamber 2.

[0027] The fixing assembly includes a rubber bottom ring 14, a rotating shaft 15, a wedge plate 16, a top plate 17, a clamping ring 18, a locking block 19, locking holes 20 and slots 21, a locking spring 22, and a locking block 23. The bottom of the placement cavity 13 is fixedly installed with a rubber bottom ring 14. The bottom of the rubber bottom ring 14 is arranged with rotating shafts 15. The bottom of the rubber bottom ring 14 is arranged with wedge plates 16 fixed to the rotating shafts 15. The top of the rotating shafts 15 is installed with a top plate 17. The top plate 17 and the wedge plates 16 are fixed to each other. The top of the top plate 17 is fixedly installed with a clamping ring 18. A locking block 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the clamping ring 18. Locking holes 20 are opened on both the upper and lower sides of the locking block 19. A slot 21 corresponding to the size of the locking block 19 is opened on the other side of the clamping ring 18. Locking springs 22 are installed on both the upper and lower walls of the slot 21. A locking block 23 matching the size of the locking hole 20 is installed on the other side of the locking spring 22.

[0028] Driven wheel 7 forms a transmission structure with drive wheel 5 via transmission belt 6. Eccentric shaft 8 forms a rotation structure with body 1 via driven wheel 7. During use, drive motor 4 drives drive wheel 5 to rotate. When drive wheel 5 rotates, it drives driven wheel 7 at the top to rotate inside the device via externally installed transmission belt 6. When driven wheel 7 rotates, it drives eccentric shaft 8 on the right side to rotate inside the device. When eccentric shaft 8 rotates, it drives vibrating plate 9 on the right side to vibrate inside the device.

[0029] The vibrating plate 9 forms a vibration structure between the eccentric shaft 8 and the driven wheel 7. Two sets of vibrating plates 9 are arranged in parallel inside the culture chamber 2. When the eccentric shaft 8 rotates, it drives the vibrating plate 9 on the right side to vibrate inside the device. When vibrating, it can drive the cell culture dish placed on top to vibrate, promoting cell growth. Since there are two sets of vibrating plates 9 inside the device, multiple sets of culture dishes can be placed inside the device for simultaneous culture, thus improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the device.

[0030] The vibrating plate 9 forms a telescopic structure with the body 1 through the cooperation between the guide rod 11 and the buffer cavity 10. The vibrating plate 9 forms a vibration structure with the body 1 through the vibration spring 12. The two ends of the vibration spring 12 are fixed to the vibrating plate 9 and the body 1 respectively. When the vibrating plate 9 vibrates, the guide rod 11 on the side will move and extend inside the buffer cavity 10. At the same time, the vibration spring 12 can prevent the vibration generated by the vibrating plate 9 from being transmitted to the surface of the body 1, thereby improving the overall stability of the device when the vibrating plate 9 vibrates and reducing the noise generated by the device.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figures 4-6 As shown, this embodiment further illustrates Example 1. The rubber bottom ring 14 and the placement cavity 13 are sized to match each other. The wedge plate 16 forms a rotating structure with the rubber bottom ring 14 through the rotating shaft 15. The wedge plate 16 and the top plate 17 are perpendicular to each other. In use, the rubber bottom ring 14 and the placement cavity 13 are fitted together. Then, the cell culture dish is placed inside the rubber bottom ring 14. The rubber bottom ring 14 is made of rubber material, which can increase the friction between the culture dish and the rubber bottom ring 14. At the same time, four sets of wedge plates 16 are installed at the bottom of the rubber bottom ring 14. After the culture dish is placed inside the rubber bottom ring 14, the culture dish will press the wedge plates 16 down. Since the wedge plates 16 and the top plate 17 are fixed to each other, the wedge plates 16 will rotate with the rubber bottom ring 14 through the rotating shaft 15. Therefore, the four sets of top plates 17 will rotate towards the center of the rubber bottom ring 14, fixing the culture dish.

[0033] The clamping rings 18 are arranged in four sets, with the four sets of clamping rings 18 connected end to end. The clamping rings 18 are engaged with each other through the cooperation of the locking blocks 19 and the locking slots 21. The locking blocks 19 are engaged with the locking slots 21 through the cooperation of the locking holes 20, the locking blocks 23, and the locking springs 22. When the top plate 17 moves into the rubber bottom ring 14, the clamping rings 18 will also fix the culture dish. During the process of the clamping rings 18 holding the culture dish, the four sets of clamping rings 18 connected end to end will be connected and fixed together. During the connection process, the locking block 19 at the tail of the clamping ring 18 enters the slot 21 at the head of another clamping ring 18. During the entry process, the locking block 19 will squeeze the locking block 23. Under the elastic action of the locking spring 22, the locking block 23 moves upward. After the locking block 23 enters the card hole 20, the locking block 23 returns to its original position and enters the card hole 20 under the elastic action of the locking spring 22, locking the locking block 19. In this way, the four sets of clamping rings 18 are connected and fixed together, which facilitates the fixation of the culture dish.

[0034] Working principle: The culture dish is placed inside the placement cavity 13. The rubber bottom ring 14 is made of rubber, which increases the friction between the culture dish and the rubber bottom ring 14. At the same time, four sets of wedge plates 16 are installed at the bottom of the rubber bottom ring 14. After the culture dish is placed inside the rubber bottom ring 14, the culture dish will press the wedge plates 16 down. Since the wedge plates 16 are fixed to the top plate 17, the wedge plates 16 will rotate between the top plate 14 and the rubber bottom ring 14 through the rotating shaft 15. Therefore, the four sets of top plates 17 will rotate towards the center of the rubber bottom ring 14. The clamping ring 18 will also fix the culture dish. During the process of the clamping ring 18 holding the culture dish, the four sets of clamping rings 18 with their ends connected will be connected and fixed together. During the connection process, the locking block 19 at the tail of the clamping ring 18 enters the locking groove 21 at the head of another clamping ring 18. During the entry process, the locking block 19 will squeeze the locking block 23. Under the elastic action of the locking spring 22, the locking block 23 moves upward. After the locking block 23 enters the card hole 20, the locking block 23 returns to its original position and enters the card hole 20 under the elastic action of the locking spring 22, locking the locking block 19. This connects and fixes the four sets of clamping rings 18 together, making it convenient to fix the culture dish. Then, the drive motor 4 drives the drive wheel 5 to rotate. When the drive wheel 5 rotates, it drives the driven wheel 7 at the top to rotate inside the device through the externally installed transmission belt 6. When the driven wheel 7 rotates, it drives the eccentric shaft 8 on the right side to rotate inside the device. When the eccentric shaft 8 rotates, it drives the vibrating plate 9 on the right side to vibrate inside the device, thus enabling the vibrating plate 9 to vibrate inside the device.
