Description

A microbial constant temperature incubator Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microbial culture technology, specifically to a microbial constant temperature incubator. Background Technology

[0002] A constant temperature incubator, also known as a water-jacketed electric heating cell culture incubator, is used by research departments in medical and health, pharmaceutical, biochemical, industrial production, and agricultural science for bacterial culture, breeding, fermentation, and other constant temperature experiments. Due to its excellent temperature control and comprehensive performance, the electric heating constant temperature incubator has become the preferred choice for culturing certain cell types and bacteria.

[0003] For example, the authorization announcement number "CN219930070U" describes a microbial constant temperature incubator. It has a rotating disk inside, which is connected to a rotating component at the bottom. It can rotate under the drive of a motor, which in turn rotates the culture dish on the upper part of the disk, so as to make the culture dish uniformly constant temperature and improve the culture efficiency. However, in existing microbial constant temperature incubators, the rotating disk is used to drive the microbial culture dish above to be heated evenly to ensure constant temperature. But many microorganisms cannot be easily shaken during the culture process. Therefore, the culture dish on the rotating disk will cause the microorganisms stored inside to move for a long time, which will greatly affect the attachment and normal growth of microorganisms.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing microbial constant temperature incubators use petri dishes that can rotate and take turns approaching the hot air vent. Although this method can ensure a constant temperature for a short time, the microbial petri dishes that are first approached by the hot air vent will heat up and create a temperature suitable for microbial growth. However, the microorganisms are rotated away from the hot air vent as soon as they become active, lacking a stable temperature source, which directly affects the microbial culture efficiency of the microbial constant temperature incubator. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low microbial growth and low microbial culture efficiency caused by existing microbial constant temperature incubators, and to propose a microbial constant temperature incubator.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a microbial constant temperature incubator, including a base, an incubator body and a closed door. The two closed doors are movably connected to the front two sides of the incubator body by hinges. The incubator body is fixedly installed on the top of the base. The lower inner side of the incubator body is provided with a microbial stable placement structure. The upper inner side of the incubator body is provided with a microbial stable heating and constant temperature maintenance structure.

[0008] Preferably, the microbial stable placement structure includes a limiting groove and a support plate. Two limiting grooves are fixedly connected to the inside sides of the incubator body. Multiple rollers are rotatably connected to the bottom of the inside of the two limiting grooves. The support plate is movably connected to the upper surface of the rollers. A handle is fixedly connected to the front end of the outer wall of the support plate. Protrusions are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate.

[0009] Preferably, the two sides of the two protrusions are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove, and multiple microbial culture dishes are movably placed on the top of the support plate.

[0010] Preferably, the microbial stable heating and constant temperature structure includes a frame and air inlet pipes. The frame is fixedly installed at the top inside the incubator body. Multiple heating tubes are fixedly installed inside the frame. Multiple hot air holes are fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame. Diverter plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple hot air holes. Two air inlet pipes are fixedly installed at the top of the incubator body. Fans are fixedly installed inside the two air inlet pipes. Dustproof plates are movably connected to the top of the two air inlet pipes.

[0011] Preferably, the lower ends of the plurality of hot air holes are arranged opposite to the top of the microbial culture dish, and a temperature controller is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the incubator body. The temperature controller is electrically connected to the heating tube through a wire.

[0012] Preferably, door handles are fixedly connected to the front ends of the outer walls of the two closed doors.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the microbial constant temperature incubator proposed in this utility model are as follows: microbial culture solution is directly placed in the microbial culture dish, and then the closed door at the front of the incubator body is opened. The support plate and the microbial culture dish above it are slid horizontally into the incubator body, and then the closed door is closed. Because the lateral restriction of the limiting groove restricts the support plate to only move the microbial culture dish above to the designated position, there is no shaking or other interference in the subsequent microbial culture process, making the microbial constant temperature incubator less likely to affect the microbial culture process.

[0014] The number and location of the hot air vents correspond one-to-one with the microbial culture dishes below. The flow divider is an inverted arc-shaped metal plate that guides the hot air to flow to both sides along the arc, preventing the hot air from blowing directly onto the microbial culture dishes below. Instead, it indirectly heats and keeps each microbial culture dish sufficiently warm, achieving constant temperature culture. The use of hot air vents corresponding to the fixed positions of the culture dishes allows for more uniform and reasonable heating and heat preservation, improving the culture efficiency of the microbial constant temperature incubator.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-6. In this embodiment, a microbial constant temperature incubator includes a base 1, an incubator body 2, and a closed door 3. The two closed doors 3 are movably connected to the front sides of the incubator body 2 by hinges. The closed doors 3 are made of stainless steel with rubber sealing rings attached to the inside. The closed doors 3 can be opened by manually gripping the door handle 4. The incubator body 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. Both the base 1 and the incubator body 2 are made of stainless steel. The lower inner side of the incubator body 2 is provided with a microbial stable placement structure 6. The upper inner side of the incubator body 2 is provided with a microbial stable heating and constant temperature maintenance structure 5.

[0025] The microbial stable placement structure 6 includes a limiting groove 61 and a support plate 64. Two limiting grooves 61 are fixedly connected to both sides of the incubator body 2. The limiting grooves 61 are welded and fixed to both sides of the incubator body 2. The internal space of the limiting grooves 61 can restrict and guide the sliding and positioning of the support plate 64. Multiple rollers 62 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the two limiting grooves 61. Multiple rollers 62 are arranged side-by-side, allowing for quick pulling and retrieval of the support plate 64 and the microbial culture dish 7 above it. The support plate 64 is movably connected to the upper surface of the rollers 62. The support plate 64 is made of aluminum alloy material with a relatively stable structure and flat edges that are not easily deformed. A handle is used to grip it. The 65 is designed for easy pulling out by staff. When microbial culture is needed, the microbial culture solution is placed directly into the microbial culture dish 7, and then the closed door 3 at the front of the incubator body 2 is opened. The support plate 64, along with the microbial culture dish 7 above it, is slid horizontally into the incubator body 2. Then the closed door 3 is closed. Because the lateral restriction of the limiting groove 61 restricts the support plate 64 to only move the microbial culture dish 7 above it to the designated position, there is no shaking or other interference during the subsequent microbial culture process. The outer wall of the support plate 64 is fixedly connected to the front end of the outer wall with a handle 65, and the two sides of the support plate 64 are fixedly connected to protrusions 63, which fit into the space inside the limiting groove 61.

[0026] The two protrusions 63 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 61 on both sides, and multiple microbial culture dishes 7 are movably placed on the top of the support plate 64.

[0027] The microbial stable heating and constant temperature structure 5 includes a frame 51 and an air inlet pipe 53. The frame 51 is fixedly installed inside the top of the incubator body 2. The frame 51 is made of metal steel. Multiple heating tubes 52 run horizontally through the inside of the frame 51. The heating tubes 52 are electrically heated and generate temperature when powered on. The temperature generated by the heating tubes 52 can be adjusted according to the control of the temperature controller 8. Multiple heating tubes 52 are fixedly installed inside the frame 51. Multiple hot air holes 56 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the frame 51. The number and position of the hot air holes 56 correspond one-to-one with the microbial culture dishes 7 below. The lower end of the multiple hot air holes 56 is fixedly connected to a flow divider 57. The flow divider 57 is an inverted metal arc plate that can guide the hot air along... The curved surface flows to both sides, ensuring that the hot air does not blow directly onto the microbial culture dishes 7 below, but indirectly heats and keeps each microbial culture dish 7 sufficiently warm. Two air inlet pipes 53 are fixedly installed at the top of the incubator body 2, and a fan 55 is installed inside the air inlet pipes 53. When the fan is connected to the power supply and started, it can draw in external air along the air inlet pipes 53, and then the guided air is heated by the heating pipes 52. Finally, the air is evenly blown into the microbial culture chamber body 2 through the hot air holes 56 at the bottom to achieve constant temperature incubation. The fan 55 is fixedly installed inside the two air inlet pipes 53, and a dustproof plate 54 is movably connected to the top of the two air inlet pipes 53. The dustproof plate 54 is made of high-precision air filter element, which can adsorb and filter most of the impurities and dust in the air.

[0028] The lower ends of multiple hot air holes 56 are positioned opposite to the top of the microbial culture dish 7. A temperature controller 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the incubator body 2. The temperature controller 8 is a relatively mature existing technology. After the power is turned on by the temperature controller 8, the heating temperature of the heating tube 52 can be made relatively uniform and constant. The temperature controller 8 is electrically connected to the heating tube 52 through wires. Door handles 4 are fixedly connected to the front end of the outer wall of the two closed doors 3.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] Microbial incubators are used for laboratory incubation in medical and health, pharmaceutical, and biochemical industries.

[0031] Used by scientific research departments in academia, industry, and agriculture for the cultivation of microorganisms for bacterial culture, breeding, fermentation, and other isothermal experiments.

[0032] Main components of a microbial constant temperature incubator:

[0033] Two closed doors 3 are connected to the front sides of the incubator body 2 by hinges. The closed doors 3 are made of stainless steel with rubber sealing rings attached to the inside. The closed doors 3 can be opened by manually gripping the door handle 4. The incubator body 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. Both the base 1 and the incubator body 2 are made of stainless steel.

[0034] The structure for maintaining uniform temperature in a microbial incubator:

[0035] The frame 51 is made of metal steel. Multiple heating tubes 52 run horizontally through the inside of the frame 51. The heating tubes 52 are electrically heated and generate temperature when powered on. The temperature generated by the heating tubes 52 can be adjusted according to the control of the temperature controller 8. The number and position of the hot air holes 56 correspond one-to-one with the microbial culture dishes 7 below. The diversion plate 57 is an inverted arc-shaped metal plate. The diversion plate 57 can guide the hot air to flow to both sides along the arc surface, so that the hot air will not blow directly to the microbial culture dishes 7 below, but indirectly heat and keep each microbial culture dish 7 sufficiently warm. The fan 55 is set inside the air inlet pipe 53. When the fan is connected to the power supply and started, it can draw in the outside air along the air inlet pipe 53. Then the guided air will be heated by the heating tubes 52 and finally blown evenly into the body of the microbial incubator 2 through the hot air holes 56 at the lower end to achieve constant temperature incubation. The dustproof plate 54 is made of high-precision air filter element, which can adsorb and filter most of the impurities and dust in the air.

[0036] The microbial culture dish in the microbial constant temperature incubator is positioned to stabilize the culture structure:

[0037] The limiting groove 61 is welded and fixed on both sides of the incubator body 2. The internal space of the limiting groove 61 can restrict and guide the sliding and positioning of the support plate 64. There are multiple rollers 62 arranged side by side. The rollers 62 can assist the support plate 64 and the microbial culture dish 7 above it in quick pulling and picking. The support plate 64 is made of aluminum alloy material with a relatively stable structure and flat edges that are not easily deformed. The handle 65 makes it convenient for the staff to pull it out. When microbial culture is needed, the microbial culture solution is directly put into the microbial culture dish 7, and then the closed door 3 at the front of the incubator body 2 is opened. The support plate 64 and the microbial culture dish 7 above it are slid horizontally into the incubator body 2. Then the closed door 3 is closed. Because the lateral restriction of the limiting groove 61, the support plate 64 can only move the microbial culture dish 7 above it to the designated position. There is no shaking or other interference during the subsequent microbial culture process.
