Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubator technology, specifically to a light incubator with a multi-layer structure. Background Technology

[0002] A light-controlled incubator mainly consists of a heating system, a cooling system, and a lighting system. The heating system maintains the internal temperature through heating wires, temperature sensors, and a controller. The cooling system regulates the temperature through a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. The lighting system simulates sunlight through a built-in light source, adjusting the light intensity and period to aid in photosynthesis. To ensure uniform mixing of the solution or culture medium within the incubator, improve the efficiency of oxygen and nutrient transfer, and promote cell growth and reproduction, vertical light-controlled shaking incubators are now widely used. For example, CN214514638U discloses a highly protective vertical light-controlled shaking incubator, which uses a shaking device to drive the beakers on the shaking plate to agitate, promoting uniform mixing of the solution within the beakers. However, this type of shaking incubator typically drives all beakers within the entire incubator to agitate, and in daily use, some of them have already... Other culture media that require or do not require shaking often need to be temporarily stored in an additional light-illuminated storage cabinet for data recording. For example, during experiments, after the initial shaking of the first batch of solution, it is often necessary to place the first batch of solution under the same conditions for a period of time to allow it to fully react before recording the data and adding new reaction solution for shaking. To improve experimental efficiency, the first batch of solution after the initial shaking is usually moved to a separate ordinary light-illuminated storage cabinet for settling, while the second batch of solution is placed in a shaking incubator for shaking. After the first batch of solution has settling, reaction solution is added again and it is moved to the shaking incubator. The second batch of solution, which has completed shaking in the shaking incubator, is then moved to the shaking incubator, and so on, alternating between different batches of solution for experimental operations. The entire process requires constant movement of solution between two devices, using multiple devices, which occupies a large area, and the operation process is cumbersome, inconvenient, and affects experimental efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present invention, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 9 This utility model provides a multi-layered light incubator, including a box body 1, a light irradiation component 11, and several placement plates 2. A box door 12 is rotatably mounted on the box body 1. The light irradiation component 11 is located in the inner cavity of the box body 1. Several slides 3 for placing the placement plates 2 are provided at the upper end of the inner cavity of the box body 1. An oscillation frame 4 and an oscillation mechanism 5 for driving the oscillation frame 4 to reciprocate are provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the box body 1. Several placement plates 2 are detachably mounted on the oscillation frame 4. Several limiting frames 6 are detachably mounted on the placement plates 2. A container bottle 7 is placed at the limiting frame 6. Fixing components 8 for fixing the placement plates 2 are provided on both sides of the oscillation frame 4.

[0029] The slide 3 and the fixing component 8 enable the detachable installation of several placement plates 2 to form a multi-layer placement plate 2 structure. The placement plate 2 located at the upper end of the box 1 is mainly used to store the container bottles 7, while the placement plate 2 located at the lower end of the box 1 at the oscillation frame 4 is mainly used to oscillate the solution in conjunction with its oscillation motion. By alternating the placement plates 2, different batches of container bottles 7 can be stored and oscillated simultaneously on the same device, simplifying experimental operations and improving experimental efficiency.

[0030] In the actual experiment, the placement plate 2 containing the first batch of containers 7 is moved to the shaking rack 4 for shaking. After shaking, the plate 2 corresponding to the first batch of containers 7 is moved to the slide 3 at the upper end of the inner cavity of the box 1 and left to stand so that the solution inside can fully react under the same light conditions and the relevant data is recorded. The second batch of containers 7, which is placed at the slide 3, is then moved to the shaking rack 4 along with its placement plate 2 for shaking. After the first batch of containers 7 has been left to stand for a period of time and the second batch of containers 7 has finished shaking, the positions of the two are exchanged, and the first batch of containers 7 is shaken a second time. The second batch of containers 7 is then placed under the same light conditions and left to stand. This process is repeated, and by alternating the placement plates 2, different batches of containers 7 can be stored and shaken on the same device at the same time without having to operate back and forth between two devices. This reduces the space occupied by the device, simplifies the experimental operation, and improves the experimental efficiency.

[0031] Specifically, the lighting component 11 consists of several lamp tubes, which are arranged in a vertical array inside the housing 1.

[0032] Several lamps are installed vertically to provide sufficient light to the solution at each layer of the plate 2, meeting the experimental requirements.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 9 In conjunction with the technical solution of Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, mounting plates 21 that slide in cooperation with the slide rail 3 are provided on both sides of the placement plate 2.

[0035] The placement plate 2 is moved and installed by the mounting plates 21 on both sides of the placement plate 2 cooperating with the slide rails 3 inside the box 1.

[0036] Furthermore, the slide 3 is provided with a recess 31 for the mounting plate 21 to be moved into.

[0037] By providing a recess 31 on the slide 3 for the mounting plate 21 to move into, after the mounting plate 21 is moved into the slide 3, the mounting plate 21 can move into the recess 31 under the action of gravity. Due to the limiting effect of the recess 31, the placement plate 2 is not easy to slide out accidentally. When taking out the placement plate 2, it is only necessary to gently lift the placement plate 2 and pull it out from the slide 3.

[0038] Specifically, both sides of the oscillating frame 4 are provided with mounting grooves 41 for the mounting plate 21 to slide into, and the fixing component 8 is located at the mounting groove 41 and is used to fix the mounting plate 21 in the mounting groove 41.

[0039] Specifically, the fixed component 8 includes a moving rod 81, a spring 82, and a lever 83. The oscillating frame 4 is provided with a connecting groove 42 for the moving rod 81 to be moved and installed. One end of the connecting groove 42 is connected to the mounting groove 41. The spring 82 is set in the connecting groove 42 and pushes the moving rod 81 to extend to the mounting groove 41. The lever 83 is connected to the moving rod 81. The oscillating frame 4 is provided with an adjusting groove 43 for the lever 83 to be moved and installed. One side of the adjusting groove 43 is connected to a limiting groove 44 for the lever 83 to move into.

[0040] When it is necessary to install the placement plate 2 on the oscillating frame 4, operate the levers 83 on both sides of the oscillating frame 4 respectively. Move the levers 83 along the adjusting groove 43 and offset them into the limiting groove 44 on one side of the adjusting groove 43. The moving rod 81 retracts into the connecting groove 42. Due to the limiting effect of the limiting groove 44, the moving rod 81 remains in the state of being retracted into the connecting groove 42. The spring 82 is compressed. At this time, the mounting plate 21 on the placement groove can be directly inserted along the mounting groove 41. Then, move the lever 83 from the limiting groove 44 to the adjusting groove 43. The spring 82 resets and pushes the moving rod 81 out of the connecting groove 42. The moving rod 81 extends to the mounting groove 41 and fixes the mounting plate 21 in the mounting groove 41, realizing the detachable installation of the placement plate 2.

[0041] Example 3:

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 9 In combination with the technical solutions of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, in this embodiment, the placement plate 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes 22, and the bottom of the limiting frame 6 is provided with a plug rod 9 that is inserted and engaged with the through holes 22.

[0043] The insertion rod 9 at the bottom of the limiting frame 6 can be inserted into any of the through holes 22 on the placement plate 2 to achieve the positioning and installation of the limiting frame 6 on the placement plate 2. This can effectively prevent the limiting frame 6 from accidentally shifting during the vibration of the vibration frame 4, causing the solution to spill or the container bottle 7 at the placement frame to break.

[0044] Specifically, the limiting frame 6 includes a base pad 61, a ring-shaped rubber band 62, and several metal sheets 63. The metal sheets 63 are arranged in a ring array on the base pad 61. The metal sheets 63 are bent relative to the base pad 61, and the ends of the metal sheets 63 are curled and fastened to the rubber band 62. The rubber band 62 drives the metal sheets 63 to abut against the outer wall of the container bottle 7. The insertion rod 9 is located at the bottom of the base pad 61. The metal sheets 63 can be bent as needed, and the metal sheets 63 can be made of iron or aluminum.

[0045] By using rubber bands 62 to drive several metal plates 63 to elastically abut against the side wall of the container bottle 7, containers 7 of different sizes can be clamped and fixed.

[0046] Specifically, the oscillation mechanism 5 includes a servo motor 51 and four connecting rods 52. One end of each of the four connecting rods 52 is provided with a rotating shaft 521. The four rotating shafts 521 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing 1. The other end of each of the four connecting rods 52 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the oscillation frame 4. The servo motor 51 is located at the bottom of the housing 1. The servo motor 51 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 521 and drives the rotating shaft 521 to rotate.

[0047] A servo motor 51 drives one of the connecting rods 52 to rotate. This connecting rod 52 moves the oscillating frame 4 and, in conjunction with the limiting action of the other three connecting rods 52, drives the oscillating frame 4 to reciprocate, thus achieving oscillation. Furthermore, the use of a speed-adjustable servo motor 51 allows for adjustment of the oscillation frequency as needed.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technology of this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this technical solution.
