[0019] 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.

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 A toxicology cell culture chamber includes a working panel 1 and support legs 2 fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the working panel 1. A culture chamber 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the working panel 1. A connecting ring 31 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the culture chamber 3. A rubber pad 32 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the connecting ring 31. A movable door 4 is slidably installed on the connecting ring 31. A culture support 5 is fixedly installed inside the culture chamber 3. A bidirectional fan 6 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the culture chamber 3. An adjustment component 7, a filter component 8, and a gas filling device 9 are respectively provided on the upper end of the culture chamber 3.

[0021] In this embodiment: When using this device to conduct cell toxicology culture experiments, the movable door 4 can be pulled down first, and then the cultured cells to be tested can be placed on the culture support 5. After placement, the movable door 4 can be inserted back into the closed incubator 3 along the connecting ring 31. The rubber pad 32 can increase the airtightness of the device. When conducting toxicology experiments, it is necessary to adjust the concentration of toxic gas inside the incubator 3. Toxic gas can be introduced into the device through the gas filling device 9. When the device is removed after the experiment, since it is full of toxic gas, the gas flow direction can be switched by adjusting component 7 to introduce the toxic gas into the filter component 8 to achieve gas filtration and purification. This toxicology cell culture chamber has good airtightness during use and facilitates the filtration and purification of toxic gases used in the experiment after the experiment, increasing the overall safety of the device.

[0022] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 - Figure 4 The adjustment component 7 includes a fixing block 71 fixedly installed on the upper end of the incubator 3. The fixing block 71 has a sliding groove 72, and the lower end of the sliding groove 72 is directly opposite to the bidirectional fan 6.

[0023] An adjusting plug 73 is slidably installed in the chute 72. An opening 74 is provided at the lower end of the adjusting plug 73. Connection ports 75 are provided on the inner sidewalls of both sides of the opening 74. The connection ports 75 can be used to connect to the filter components 8 or the gas filling device 9 on both sides.

[0024] The upper and lower ends of the two sides of the fixing block 71 are respectively provided with connecting pipe 1 76 and connecting pipe 2 77. Connecting pipe 1 76 is connected to the gas charging device 9. A one-way valve 91 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the gas charging device 9. Connecting pipe 2 77 is connected to the interior of the filter assembly 8. The gas charging device 9 and the filter assembly 8 can be connected through connecting pipe 1 76 and connecting pipe 2 77 respectively.

[0025] A connecting groove 710 is provided on the side wall of the connecting pipe 76. A baffle 711 is slidably installed in the connecting groove 710. A spring 714 is fixedly installed between the lower wall of the baffle 711 and the side wall of the connecting groove 710. A protrusion 712 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the baffle 711. When the adjusting plug 73 moves downward, it will contact the protrusion 712, causing the baffle 711 to slide downward and open the connecting pipe 76.

[0026] A limiting rod 713 is fixedly installed between the upper and lower walls of the connecting groove 710. The baffle 711 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 713. The spring 714 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 713. When the adjusting plug 73 moves to the uppermost and lowermost ends, the connecting port 75 on the side wall is connected to the second connecting pipe 77 and the first connecting pipe 76, respectively. The spring 714 can automatically raise the baffle 711 to the position of blocking the first connecting pipe 76 when it is not squeezed by the movable plug 73.

[0027] In this embodiment: When it is necessary to fill the incubator 3 with toxic gas for a culture experiment, the movable plug 73 can be slid down along the slide groove 72. When the movable plug 73 slides down, it contacts the protrusion 712 on the side wall of the connecting pipe 76 and drives the protrusion 712 to move down. When the protrusion 712 moves down, it drives the baffle 711 to slide along the connecting groove 710. When it moves to the maximum distance that the movable plug 73 can move, the side opening of the connecting pipe 76 is directly opposite the connecting port 75 and is in a connected state. At this time, gas can be filled into the gas filling device 9 through the one-way valve 91, and the toxic gas is introduced into the interior of the incubator 3 along the connecting pipe 76. Under the action of the bidirectional fan 6, the gas flow can be accelerated, making the toxic gas diffusion more uniform. After the toxicology test is completed, the movable plug 73 can be pulled upwards. As the movable plug 73 moves upwards along the flower bed 72, the baffle 711 on the side wall is lifted back to its original position under the action of the spring 714, blocking the connecting pipe 1 76. When it is moved to the uppermost movable end, the connecting port 75 on the other side is connected to the connecting pipe 2 77. At this time, the gas can be filtered and discharged from the filter assembly 8 by the bidirectional fan 6. When the device is in use, if toxic gas needs to be filled, the movable plug 73 can be moved downwards to automatically open the connecting pipe 1 76 connected to the gas filling device 9. Moving the movable plug 73 upwards will automatically connect the connecting pipe 2 77 connected to the filter assembly 8 and automatically close the connecting pipe 1 76, realizing automatic switching.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
