Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of incubator technology, and relates to temperature control devices, particularly a temperature control device for an incubator. Background Technology

[0002] The temperature control unit for an incubator is a specially designed device to provide a stable temperature environment for the cultivation and proliferation of probiotics. This unit is typically equipped with precise temperature sensors and a control system that monitors and adjusts the temperature inside the incubator in real time to ensure it remains within a specific optimal range. The performance of the temperature control unit is crucial for the growth of probiotics, as it directly affects the metabolic activity of the microorganisms and the cultivation effect. By using efficient heating and cooling technologies, this unit can achieve rapid response and maintain constant cultivation conditions, thereby improving the activity and survival rate of probiotics and promoting the enhancement of the quality and flavor of the beverage.

[0003] However, some existing incubator temperature control devices typically have their heating ports located on the inside side when heating the interior. This can cause heat to stagnate in that area, leading to localized overheating, which can easily damage sensitive culture samples or affect experimental results. Therefore, this problem needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a temperature control device for an incubator. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that heat may remain in the incubator area, leading to localized overheating, which can easily damage sensitive culture samples or affect experimental results.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A blower is fixedly connected to the surface of the heating box near the guide tube, and the blower is fixedly connected to the bottom of multiple guide tubes. Multiple heating elements are provided inside the heating box. Three fans are fixedly connected to the inside of the heating box near the blower, and the fans are arranged in coordination with the heating elements and air vents. A closing mechanism for closing the air vents is provided on the surface of the guide tube away from the heating elements. Through the setting of the heating elements, the inside of the incubator can be heated.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the closing mechanism includes a slot, which is opened on one side of multiple guide pipes. A baffle is slidably connected inside the slot. Two electric push rods are fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle away from the fan. Both electric push rods are fixedly connected to one side inside the incubator. Second ventilation openings are opened at both ends of the heating box, and first ventilation openings are opened on both sides of the base. The first and second ventilation openings are arranged perpendicular to each other. The baffle can be used to close the ventilation openings.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the constraint mechanism includes a fixed plate, which is fixedly connected to one side of the incubator. A sliding groove is formed on one side of the fixed plate, and a slot is formed inside the sliding groove near the door. A locking post is slidably connected to the sliding groove and the slot. A push plate is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and the push plate and the locking post are mutually coordinated. A support rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the push plate away from the door. The support rod is slidably connected to one side of the sliding groove, and a spring is sleeved on the surface of the support rod. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding groove, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. This utility model adopts a technical solution that uses a guide pipe and air vents to move the gas, thus avoiding localized heating. This effectively solves the problem that heat may remain in a certain area, causing localized overheating, which can easily damage sensitive culture samples or affect experimental results. A guide pipe is installed on one side of the fan, and multiple air vents are opened on the guide pipe near the inside of the incubator. Because the multiple air vents are evenly arranged according to the size of the incubator, the inside of the incubator can be heated simultaneously through the air vents to avoid localized heating.

[0021] Preferably, the heating mechanism includes a heating box 303, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 1. A blower box 302 is fixedly connected to the surface of the heating box 303 near the guide pipe 3, and the blower box 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of multiple guide pipes 3. Multiple heating elements 304 are provided inside the heating box 303. Three fans 306 are fixedly connected to the inside of the heating box 303 near the blower box 302. The fans 306 are arranged in cooperation with the heating elements 304 and the air vents 301. The arrangement of the fans 306 can accelerate the flow of gas. The surface of the guide pipe 3 away from the heating elements 304 is provided with a closing mechanism for closing the air vents 301. The arrangement of the heating elements 304 can heat the inside of the incubator 102.

[0022] Furthermore, the closing mechanism includes a slot 307, which is opened on one side of multiple guide pipes 3. A baffle 308 is slidably connected inside the slot 307. Two electric push rods 309 are fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle 308 away from the fan 306. Both electric push rods 309 are fixedly connected to one side inside the incubator 102. The heating box 303 has second ventilation openings 305 at both ends. The base 1 has first ventilation openings 101 on both sides. The first ventilation openings 101 and the second ventilation openings 305 are arranged perpendicular to each other. The baffle 308 can close the ventilation openings 301.

[0023] Preferably, the constraint mechanism includes a fixed plate 201, which is fixedly connected to one side of the incubator 102. A groove 202 is formed on one side of the fixed plate 201, and a slot 203 is formed inside the groove 202 near the door 103. A locking post 208 is slidably connected inside the groove 202 and the slot 203.

[0024] Working principle: During use, the probiotics to be cultured are placed inside the incubator 102. After preparation, the heating element 304 and fan 306 can be turned on. When the heating element 304 and fan 306 are turned on, the heating element 304 heats the surrounding air, and the fan 306 moves the heated air. A guide pipe 3 is installed on one side of the fan 306, and the guide pipe 3 has multiple air vents 301 near the inside of the incubator 102. The multiple air vents 301 are evenly distributed according to the size of the inside of the incubator 102. Therefore, the air vent 301 can simultaneously heat the inside of the incubator 102 to avoid localized heating. Furthermore, the guide pipe 3 and the air box 302 are arranged on both sides of the incubator 102 with a large area. As the gas flows inside the air box 302 and the guide pipe 3, the air box 302 and the guide pipe 3 will also be heated. Since the air box 302 and the guide pipe 3 are tightly connected to the incubator 102, the air box 302 and the guide pipe 3 will also heat the inside of the incubator 102, ensuring uniform heating while also accelerating the heating speed.
