Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of biological indicator culture devices, and in particular relates to a storage device for biological indicator culture devices. Background Technology

[0002] Biological indicator incubators require storage devices, primarily for sample management, culture efficiency, and safety control. Storage devices can categorize and store different batches and types of biological indicators, preventing confusion. Especially when multiple experiments are conducted simultaneously, zoning design enables sample traceability and orderly management. Secondly, storage devices typically have stable temperature and humidity buffering capabilities, providing a temporary stable environment for indicators before and after culture, preventing external environmental fluctuations from affecting activity and ensuring accurate culture results. Furthermore, some storage devices integrate sterilization or sealing structures, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, protecting operator safety, and meeting laboratory biosafety standards. For samples requiring long-term culture, storage devices can also assist in periodic removal and observation, avoiding frequent opening and closing of the incubator which can cause internal environmental changes, thus improving experimental efficiency and data reliability.

[0003] During the storage of biological indicator culture devices, the culture devices are usually placed on trays in the storage device. However, existing storage devices lack an effective mechanism to fix the trays. When the storage device is moved, the trays are prone to displacement, which puts multiple biological indicator culture devices placed on the trays at risk of colliding with each other.

[0014] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0015] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a storage device for a biological indicator culture device, including a box body 1, with a door 2 installed on one side of the box body 1; multiple sets of first fixing frames 3 are installed inside the box body 1, and first slide rails 4 are opened in the first fixing frames 3; fixing components are slidably connected in the first slide rails 4, and trays 5 are installed on the fixing components, and multiple through holes 6 are opened on the trays 5; a temperature regulating component is installed in the box body 1.

[0017] Using the above scheme: When it is necessary to store the biological indicator culture device, firstly, the staff moves the device to the required position, opens the door 2, puts the culture device into the tray 5, and uses the fixing components to fix the tray 5. After the door 2 is closed, the internal temperature of the chamber 1 is adjusted to a suitable level by the temperature regulating component to ensure suitable storage conditions for the culture device. The fixing components prevent the tray 5 from shifting when the chamber 1 is moved.

[0018] It should be noted that the support legs at the bottom of box 1 can be replaced with casters to facilitate the movement of box 1.

[0019] Furthermore, the fixing component includes two first sliders 7 slidably connected in the first slide rail 4; a support frame 8 is fixedly connected to the first slider 7, and the tray 5 is located on the support frame 8.

[0020] Furthermore, a second slide rail 9 is provided on the support frame 8; a plurality of second sliders 10 are slidably connected in the second slide rail 9, and a first support frame 11 is installed on the second sliders 10; a threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected inside the first support frame 11; a fixing plate 13 that contacts the tray 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod 12.

[0021] Furthermore, a sliding groove 14 is provided on the front side of the first fixing frame 3; a limiting plate 15 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 14; a telescopic rod 16 is installed on the first fixing frame 3; one end of the telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 15; a first spring 17 is installed between the limiting plate 15 and the first fixing frame 3; the first spring 17 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 16.

[0022] Using the above scheme: In use, the operator places the tray 5 on the support frame 8 and adjusts the distance between the second sliders 10 to accommodate the length of the tray 5. Then, the operator rotates the threaded rod 12 to lower the fixing plate 13, which contacts and fixes the top of the tray 5. Next, the operator pushes the support frame 8 to move the first slider 7 to the preset position in the first slide 4. The support frame 8 then enters the box 1. Finally, the first spring 17 pushes the limiting plate 15 to move in the slide groove 14, which drives the telescopic rod 16 to move synchronously. After the limiting plate 15 reaches the preset position, it limits the first slider 7 to prevent it from shifting. Then, the incubator can be placed in the tray 5.

[0023] Furthermore, the temperature regulating component includes a first support plate 18 fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 1; a refrigeration unit 19 is mounted on the first support plate 18, and the output end of the refrigeration unit 19 extends into the housing 1.

[0024] Furthermore, a placement box 20 is installed on the top of the box body 1; the placement box 20 is connected to the box body 1, and a drying box 21 is slidably connected inside the placement box 20; the drying box 21 and the placement box 20 are connected by bolts 22.

[0025] Furthermore, a ventilator 23 is installed on the top of the housing 1; a flexible hose 24 is installed at the output end of the ventilator 23, and the other end of the flexible hose 24 is connected to the placement box 20.

[0026] Using the above solution: When it is necessary to keep the temperature inside the chamber 1 low, the refrigeration unit 19 is started, and its output end inputs cold air into the chamber 1 to lower the temperature inside the chamber 1. If the inside of the chamber 1 is to be dry, the drying box 21 needs to be installed in the placement box 20. Then, the drying box 21 is fixed to the placement box 20 using bolts 22. After starting the ventilation fan 23, the air inside the chamber 1 is circulated through the flexible hose 24. The ventilation fan 23 draws the gas from the chamber 1. The moisture inside the chamber 1 is drawn into the placement box 20 and passes through the drying box 21. The desiccant in the drying box 21 absorbs the moisture, thereby maintaining the dry state inside the chamber 1.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model: When the biological indicator incubator needs to be stored, firstly, the operator moves the device to the desired location, opens the door 2, places the tray 5 on the support frame 8, and adjusts the distance between the second sliders 10 to accommodate the length of the tray 5. Then, the threaded rod 12 is rotated to lower the fixing plate 13, contacting and securing the top of the tray 5. Next, the operator pushes the support frame 8, causing the first slider 7 to move to a preset position in the first slide rail 4. The support frame 8 then enters the housing 1. Finally, the first spring 17 pushes the limiting plate 15 to move in the slide groove 14, causing the telescopic rod 16 to move synchronously. After the limiting plate 15 reaches the preset position, it limits the first slider 7, preventing it from shifting out of position. Afterwards, the incubator can be placed in the tray 5. After the door 2 is closed, when it is necessary to keep the temperature inside the chamber 1 low, the refrigeration unit 19 is started, and its output end inputs cold air into the chamber 1 to lower the temperature inside the chamber 1. If the inside of the chamber 1 is to be dry, the drying box 21 needs to be installed in the placement box 20. Then, the drying box 21 is fixed to the placement box 20 using bolts 22. After the ventilation fan 23 is started, the air inside the chamber 1 is circulated through the flexible hose 24. The ventilation fan 23 draws the gas inside the chamber 1. The moisture inside the chamber 1 is drawn into the placement box 20 and passes through the drying box 21. The desiccant in the drying box 21 absorbs the moisture, thereby maintaining the dry state inside the chamber 1.
