Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubators for animal experiments, and in particular to a novel incubator for animal experiments. Background Technology
[0002] Animal laboratory incubators are devices used to simulate a controlled temperature environment, ensuring stable living conditions for laboratory animals. They are widely used in scientific research, teaching, and medical fields. Temperature control: An intelligent temperature control system maintains a constant temperature within the incubator, typically covering a range from ambient to high temperatures (e.g., -10℃ to 35℃), with some models supporting higher precision temperature control (e.g., ±1℃). Air circulation: Equipped with a circulating fan to ensure uniform temperature distribution; some models employ an air-cooled structure to optimize airflow and reduce temperature differences. Safety protection: Features over-temperature alarms, power-off recovery, and automatic cessation of oscillation upon door opening. Some models also support touchscreen operation and are waterproof and corrosion-resistant. Biological experiments: Used for cell culture, microbial culture, and animal experiments, such as bacterial culture and tissue research.
[0003] A novel incubator for animal experiments presents a problem: when staff use the incubator, it is difficult to easily clean the residual air and impurities inside due to the different experimental animals, thus affecting the processing quality of the incubator during use. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel incubator for animal experiments.
[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a novel animal experiment constant temperature box, including a constant temperature box, a support pole fixedly connected to the bottom of the constant temperature box, a control panel fixedly connected to the front of the constant temperature box, a control button fixedly connected to the front of the constant temperature box, a rotating frame fixedly connected to the right end of the constant temperature box, and a rotating bracket hinged to the surface of the rotating frame.
[0006] A sealed cabinet door is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating bracket. An observation window is provided on the front of the sealed cabinet door. A heating mesh is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber. An exhaust mesh is fixedly connected to the inside of the constant temperature chamber. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the rear end of the constant temperature chamber. A sealing baffle is inserted into the inside of the mounting frame. A mounting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the constant temperature chamber. A mounting top plate is inserted into the top of the mounting ring. An exhaust assembly is snapped into the bottom of the mounting top plate.
[0007] Through the above technical solution, the contact surface between the sealing baffle and the rear end of the box adopts double-layer silicone gaskets, combined with the airflow blocking function of the exhaust net, to form a double seal, which can maintain the stability of the environment inside the box even after long-term operation. Both the heating net and the exhaust assembly are equipped with overheat fuses, which automatically cut off the power supply when the temperature control system is abnormal, avoiding equipment damage or fire risk.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of the support poles is set to two, and the two support poles are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the constant temperature box as the center, and the rear end of the sealed cabinet door is in contact with the front surface of the constant temperature box.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of rotating supports is set to two, and the two rotating supports are symmetrically distributed vertically around the rotating frame, with the rotating supports located on the front of the constant temperature chamber.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of heating nets is set to two, and the two heating nets are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the constant temperature box as the center, and the heating nets are located at the rear end of the sealed cabinet door.
[0011] Through the above technical solution, the top exhaust assembly and the rear exhaust net form an air circulation path, which conforms to the thermodynamic principle and accelerates the gas exchange inside the box. The tight contact design between the exhaust net and the sealing baffle can completely block the direct inflow of external air and ensure that the temperature and humidity inside the box are independently controllable.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the front of the sealing baffle contacts the rear surface of the exhaust screen, and the front of the sealing baffle contacts the rear surface of the constant temperature chamber.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the exhaust assembly is located inside the mounting ring, the exhaust assembly is located at the top of the constant temperature chamber, and the mounting top plate is located at the top of the constant temperature chamber.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the observation window is located on the front of the constant temperature chamber, and the control button is located at the bottom of the control panel.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This utility model achieves quick assembly and disassembly by setting a plug-in design for the mounting ring and the mounting top plate, combined with the top exhaust component. After the experiment, the top plate can be easily removed for deep cleaning, avoiding the risk of cross-contamination caused by residual pollutants in dead corners in traditional integrated chambers. By setting the top exhaust component and the rear exhaust net, the direct inflow of external air can be completely blocked, ensuring that the temperature and humidity inside the chamber are independently controllable.
[0017] This invention uses a rubber sealing strip on the contact surface between the rear end of the sealed cabinet door and the front of the cabinet body, combined with a double-layer tempered glass structure for the observation window. This ensures that the internal experimental environment is not disturbed by the outside world, while also facilitating real-time observation of the animal's condition. It avoids temperature fluctuations caused by frequent door openings. Through modular structure, precise temperature control, safety redundancy, and user-friendly design, it solves the problems of uneven temperature control and cumbersome operation in traditional animal experimental equipment.

[0028] The contact surface between the sealing baffle 12 and the rear end of the chamber is made of double-layer silicone gaskets. Combined with the airflow blocking function of the exhaust net 10, a double seal is formed, which can maintain the stability of the chamber environment even after long-term operation. Both the heating net 9 and the exhaust assembly 15 are equipped with overheat fuses, which automatically cut off the power supply when the temperature control system is abnormal, so as to avoid equipment damage or fire risk.

[0033] The front of the sealing baffle 12 contacts the rear surface of the exhaust net 10, and the front of the sealing baffle 12 contacts the rear surface of the constant temperature chamber 1. By setting the rear of the sealing cabinet door 7 to contact the front of the chamber with a rubber sealing strip, and in conjunction with the double-layer tempered glass structure of the observation window 8, the internal experimental environment is not disturbed by the outside world, and it is convenient to observe the animal status in real time. It avoids temperature fluctuations caused by frequent door opening. Through modular structure, precise temperature control, safety redundancy and humanized design, it solves the problems of uneven temperature control and cumbersome operation of traditional animal experimental equipment.
