Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microbial culture equipment, specifically a microbial incubation box. Background Technology

[0002] Microbial research is one of the core driving forces of modern scientific and technological development. Its importance is reflected in multiple aspects, such as exploring the essence of life, ensuring human health, maintaining the ecological environment, and promoting emerging industries. By culturing microorganisms, we can conduct in-depth research on their morphology, structure, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and genetic characteristics, which helps us understand the laws of microbial life activities and provides a foundation for microbial classification, identification, and related theoretical research.

[0003] Microbial incubators are essential pieces of equipment in fields such as microbiology, biotechnology, medical testing, and food science. They provide stable and controllable environmental conditions for the growth, reproduction, and metabolic activities of microorganisms. Common microbial incubators typically use a detachable chrome-plated wire mesh frame or a solid stainless steel tray to hold the culture dishes and are equipped with temperature and humidity control components to regulate the internal temperature and humidity. They also feature a glass observation window for easy observation of the culture dishes without affecting the internal environment.

[0004] Most existing microbial incubators have a square inner cavity and are equipped with a matching square shelf. However, when using a square shelf, if there are many culture dishes, it is easy to bump into the outer culture dishes when taking out the inner culture dishes, which may lead to accidents. Therefore, a microbial incubator is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a microbial incubation box to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a microbial incubation box, comprising a box body, a fixed shaft column fixedly installed inside the box body, and a shelf rotatably installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft column, on which culture dishes are placed, a rotating shaft seat fixedly connected in the middle of the shelf, and the shelf and the fixed shaft column rotatably connected through the rotating shaft seat, the rotating shaft seat having a sliding groove on its side, and a limiting structure rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating shaft seat for restricting the position of the culture dishes, the limiting structure including two sets of sliding connecting rods rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating shaft seat, one end of the sliding connecting rod being rotatably connected to a hinge rod, and the other end of the hinge rod being rotatably connected to a roller, and a telescopic structure fixedly installed on the adjacent outer walls of the two sets of sliding connecting rods for adjusting the included angle of the limiting structure according to the size of the culture dish.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the shelf can rotate around the fixed axis, allowing the inner position to rotate to the outer position, making it convenient for users to place or pick up culture dishes, avoiding collisions with other culture dishes, improving the utilization rate of the internal space, and allowing users to observe the placed culture dishes and find the required culture dishes by rotating the shelf, thus improving the user's work efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple sets of the shelf are rotatably installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft column, and the bottom of the shelf has a multi-hole design.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the porous structure allows for free air circulation within the chamber, resulting in more uniform and stable temperature, humidity, and gas composition in all parts of the chamber, thus providing a consistent growth environment for microorganisms.

[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic structure includes springs fixedly installed on the adjacent outer walls of two sets of sliding links, and telescopic plates are fixedly connected to the adjacent outer walls of the two sets of sliding links, with the positions of the two sets of telescopic plates being staggered.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sliding link performs the limiting operation along the side wall of the culture dish, the elastic force of the spring can be converted into the clamping force of the sliding link on the culture dish, thereby enhancing the stability of the culture dish.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding link and the hinge link are connected by a damping shaft, and the hinge link is located outside the shaft seat to ensure that the hinge link remains upright after rotating 90°.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when placing a large culture dish, the user can lift and rotate part of the hinge rod 90° to retract it, so that the limiting structure that needs to be used has enough space to expand to a suitable angle, thereby restricting the position of the large culture dish.

[0014] Furthermore, multiple sets of the limiting structure are installed at equal angles inside the pivot seat, and the plane where the bottom surface of the pivot seat is located is lower than the plane where the bottom surface of the shelf is located, in order to provide support for the shelf.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting structure can keep the position of the culture dish unchanged when the shelf is rotated by the rotating shaft seat, thereby enhancing the stability of the culture dish and avoiding unexpected situations.

[0016] Furthermore, the plane at the top edge of the shelf is higher than the plane at the top of the shelf base plate, and the shelf is circular in design to abut against the side wall of the culture dish.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the edges of the shelf form a barrier to restrict the position of the culture dishes placed on the shelf.

[0018] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0019] This invention, by incorporating a rotating shaft seat and a limiting structure, allows users to rotate the shelf to move the inner side to the outer side, making it easier for users to place or retrieve culture dishes, avoiding collisions with other culture dishes, and improving the utilization rate of the internal space. By rotating the shelf, users can observe the placed culture dishes and locate the required ones, thus improving their work efficiency. When placing culture dishes, the tension of the spring can adjust the angle of the limiting structure, allowing the hinge rod and roller to restrict the position of the culture dishes. Furthermore, when rotating the shelf via the rotating shaft seat, the position of the culture dishes remains unchanged, enhancing their stability and preventing accidents.

[0020] When users place large-sized petri dishes, the hinge rods of part of the limiting structure can be lifted, rotated 90°, and retracted, so that the limiting structure that needs to be used can be expanded to a sufficiently large included angle, thereby restricting the position of large-sized petri dishes.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0027] A type of incubator for microorganisms, such as Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, it includes box 1.

[0028] Specifically, a fixed shaft column 3 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and a shelf 2 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft column 3. Culture dishes 4 are placed on the shelf 2. A rotating shaft seat 23 is fixedly connected to the middle of the shelf 2, and the shelf 2 and the fixed shaft column 3 are rotatably connected via the rotating shaft seat 23. This allows the shelf 2 to rotate around the fixed shaft column 3, moving the inner side to the outer side, facilitating the placement or removal of culture dishes 4 by the user, preventing collisions with other culture dishes 4, and improving the utilization rate of the internal space. A sliding groove is provided on the side of the rotating shaft seat 23, and a limiting structure is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating shaft seat 23 to restrict the position of the culture dishes 4. The limiting structure includes two sets of sliding connecting rods 26 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating shaft seat 23, with one end of each sliding connecting rod 26 rotatably connected to... The hinge rod 21, when the user places a large culture dish 4, can lift and rotate 90° to retract part of the limiting structure, allowing the limiting structure to expand to a sufficiently large angle to restrict the position of the large culture dish 4. One end of the hinge rod 21 is rotatably connected to a roller 24, which facilitates adjusting the hinge rod 21 to a suitable position along the side wall of the culture dish 4. Two sets of sliding connecting rods 26 are fixedly mounted with telescopic structures on their adjacent outer walls, used to adjust the angle of the limiting structure according to the size of the culture dish 4. When the user places the culture dish 4, the telescopic structure can adjust the angle of the limiting structure, allowing the hinge rod 21 and roller 24 to restrict the position of the culture dish 4.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 Multiple sets of shelves 2 are rotatably installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft column 3. Multiple sets of shelves 2 can provide more storage space and make it easier for users to manage and operate the petri dishes 4 in groups. The bottom of the shelves 2 is designed with holes, which allows the air inside the cavity to circulate freely, making the temperature, humidity and gas composition in various parts of the chamber more uniform and stable, providing a consistent growth environment for microorganisms.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 The telescopic structure includes springs 25 fixedly installed on the adjacent outer walls of two sets of sliding connecting rods 26. When the sliding connecting rods 26 are limited along the side wall of the culture dish 4, the elastic force of the springs 25 can be converted into the clamping force of the sliding connecting rods 26 on the culture dish 4, which enhances the stability of the culture dish 4. Telescopic plates 22 are fixedly connected to the adjacent outer walls of the two sets of sliding connecting rods 26, and the positions of the two sets of telescopic plates 22 are staggered. During use, the telescopic plates 22 block the space where the springs 25 are located to prevent foreign objects from falling in and causing the springs 25 to get stuck.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3The sliding link 26 and the hinge rod 21 are connected by a damping shaft, and the hinge rod 21 is located outside the shaft seat 23. This ensures that the hinge rod 21 remains upright after rotating 90°, so that when placing a large culture dish 4, the user can lift and rotate part of the hinge rod 21 90° to retract it, so that the limiting structure that needs to be used has enough space to expand to a suitable angle, thereby restricting the position of the large culture dish 4.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 Multiple sets of limiting structures are installed at equal angles inside the rotating shaft seat 23. When the shelf 2 is rotated through the rotating shaft seat 23, the limiting structure can keep the position of the culture dish 4 unchanged, enhance the stability of the culture dish 4, and avoid accidents. The plane where the bottom surface of the rotating shaft seat 23 is located is lower than the plane where the bottom surface of the shelf 2 is located, which is used to provide support for the shelf 2 and enhance the stability of the shelf 2.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 The top edge of the shelf 2 is higher than the top surface of the bottom plate of the shelf 2. The edge of the shelf 2 forms a barrier to the culture dish 4 placed on the shelf 2, restricting the position of the culture dish 4 on the shelf 2. The shelf 2 is circular in design to abut against the side wall of the culture dish 4.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the user places the culture dish 4 into the inner cavity of the box 1, the culture dish 4 is placed at the ends of the two sets of hinge rods 21 of the upper limit structure of the shelf 2, so that the rollers 24 at the ends of the two sets of hinge rods 21 roll along the side wall of the culture dish 4 to both sides respectively. During this process, the sliding connecting rod 26 slides to both sides in the groove of the rotating shaft seat 23, thereby driving the hinge rod 21 to slide to both sides. At the same time, the spring 25 is stretched, and the telescopic plate 22 slides to both sides synchronously with the sliding connecting rod 26, which acts as a shield for the spring 25. When the culture dish 4 is completely placed on the shelf 2, the sliding connecting rod 26 and the hinge rod 21 stop sliding. The stretched spring 25 pulls the sliding connecting rod 26, so that the hinge rod 21 restricts the position of the culture dish 4.

[0035] When it is necessary to place or take out the culture dish 4 on the inner side of the shelf 2, the user only needs to rotate the shelf 2 to rotate the inner side of the shelf 2 to the outer side, making it convenient for the user to place or take out the culture dish 4.

[0036] When the user needs to place a large-sized petri dish 4, the hinge rods 21 of the adjacent limiting structures on both sides can be lifted and fixed upwards, so that the petri dish 4 can be placed between the two sets of hinge rods 21. The rollers 24 at the ends of the two sets of hinge rods 21 roll along the side wall of the petri dish 4 to both sides, thereby expanding the included angle of the limiting structure, thus restricting the position of the large-sized petri dish 4.

[0037] When the user needs to remove the culture dish 4, the shelf 2 can be rotated to observe the placed culture dish 4, and then the culture dish 4 can be removed directly. After the culture dish 4 is removed, the spring 25 loses its expansion force and returns to its original state, so that the sliding link 26 and the hinge link 21 are reset.
