Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold incubator technology, specifically a mold incubator that is easy to assemble. Background Technology

[0002] A mold incubator is a temperature and humidity control device specifically designed for the cultivation of microorganisms such as molds and fungi. It is widely used in fields such as microbiology research, food industry, medicine and health, and environmental protection.

[0003] Depending on the type of mold to be cultured, multiple incubators are often needed in the laboratory. These incubators need to be stacked and assembled so that staff can observe and record data. Traditional stacked incubators rely on friction between them to achieve stacking and fixation, which can easily lead to tipping over. Moreover, it is inconvenient to move a row of incubators stably, making them rather inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a mold incubator that is easy to assemble.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mold incubator that is easy to assemble, comprising a box body, a box door, and support legs. The front side of the box body is provided with an incubation chamber with an opening, and the front side of the box body is also provided with a box door for closing the incubation chamber. Support legs are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the box body. The top wall of the box body is provided with positioning grooves that are adapted to the support legs. The bottom wall of the box body is also provided with a connecting groove. The connecting groove is U-shaped, and the opening of the connecting groove is located on the side wall of the box body. The two side walls of the connecting groove are also provided with slots. The box body is also provided with connectors that connect to the slots.

[0008] The connector includes a protrusion, a handle, a worm gear, a worm, a screw, and a plug. A protrusion is located on the top of the housing and can be inserted into the connecting groove. Receiving grooves are located on the front and rear sides of the protrusion, and a plug is placed within each of these grooves. A driving cavity is also provided within the protrusion, containing a worm and a worm gear. The worm meshes with the worm gear. One end of the worm passes through the protrusion and connects to the handle. The handle is located near the opening of the connecting groove. A screw extending into the receiving groove is located in the middle of the front and rear sides of the worm gear. The screw is threaded to one end of the plug, and the other end of the plug is adapted to the slot.

[0009] To facilitate observation of the conditions inside the culture chamber, this utility model is improved by embedding an observation window on the chamber door.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the door is hinged to the box body, and the other end of the door is provided with a handle.

[0011] To facilitate carrying the box, this utility model is improved by providing a U-shaped handle on the protrusion. The handle is arranged in two symmetrical sets, and the two free ends of the handle are provided with hinge posts that connect to the protrusion. The end of the handle near the handle is also provided with a notch that matches the worm gear.

[0012] To facilitate cleaning of the positioning groove, this utility model is improved by providing cleaning grooves on both sides of the positioning groove on the side away from the center of the box.

[0013] Preferably, the positioning groove is a truncated cone shape with a larger top and a smaller bottom, and the upper part of the support leg is connected to the housing by a stud.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a mold incubator that is easy to assemble and has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This easy-to-assemble mold incubator has a positioning groove on the top of the lower chamber that matches the support legs of the upper chamber. The positioning groove is designed as a cone-shaped platform with a larger top and a smaller bottom, which can quickly guide the support legs to fit precisely and initially limit horizontal displacement.

[0017] The connector achieves rigid locking via a worm gear drive: after inserting the protrusion of the upper housing into the U-shaped connecting groove of the lower housing, turning the handle drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the screw to push the insert block out and insert it into the slot on the side wall of the connecting groove, forming a mechanical lock. This completely avoids the risk of tipping over when stacked, making it especially suitable for multi-layered laboratory scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 A mold incubator that is easy to assemble includes a box body 1, a door 2, and support legs 3. The box body 1 has an incubation chamber with an opening on the front side, and a door 2 for closing the incubation chamber is also provided on the front side of the box body 1. Support legs 3 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the box body 1. The top wall of the box body 1 has positioning grooves that are adapted to the support legs 3. The bottom wall of the box body 1 also has a connecting groove. The connecting groove is U-shaped and the opening of the connecting groove is located on the side wall of the box body 1. The two side walls of the connecting groove also have slots. The box body 1 also has connectors that connect to the slots.

[0025] The positioning groove on the top wall of the lower box 1 is designed as a truncated cone shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which matches the shape of the support leg 3 at the bottom of the upper box 1. When stacked, the support leg 3 slides down the conical groove wall under the action of gravity, automatically corrects its position and accurately embeds itself into the groove, quickly aligning the upper and lower boxes 1, initially limiting horizontal displacement and avoiding swaying caused by misalignment during stacking;

[0026] The support leg 3 is connected to the box 1 via studs 16. The height can be adjusted by rotating according to the flatness of the ground or the stacking requirements to ensure that the multi-layer box 1 is level after being stacked. When the support leg 3 is worn, it is easy to replace it, further improving the stability of the foundation.

[0027] Mold growth and reproduction depend on suitable temperature, humidity, and a certain air environment (some molds require ventilation to obtain oxygen). The cultivation chamber of this unit 1 is the core space for mold cultivation. Its internal temperature and humidity control system (usually including heating, cooling, and humidification devices) stabilizes the temperature and humidity within the cultivation chamber within the specific range required by the mold. Unit 1 is equipped with a controller and a lithium battery for use when no power is available. Unit 1 also has a power interface for connecting to an external power source to ensure the environment within the cultivation chamber is maintained.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connector includes a protrusion 4, a handle 5, a worm gear 6, a worm 7, a screw 8, and a plug 9. A protrusion 4 is provided on the top of the housing 1, and the protrusion 4 can be inserted into the connecting groove. Storage grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the protrusion 4, and the plug 9 is provided in the storage grooves. A driving cavity is also provided inside the protrusion 4, and the worm 7 and worm gear 6 are provided in the driving cavity. The worm 7 meshes with the worm gear 6. One end of the worm 7 passes through the protrusion 4 and is connected to the handle 5. The handle 5 is located near the opening of the connecting groove. At one end, the worm gear 6 is provided with a screw 8 extending into the storage groove in the middle part of the front and rear sides. The screw 8 is threadedly connected to one end of the plug 9, and the other end of the plug 9 is adapted to the slot. When the upper box 1 and the lower box 1 are stacked, the opening of the connecting groove is sufficient for the staff to put their hand into the connecting groove to drive the handle 5 of the friction block. The protrusion 4 at the bottom of the upper box 1 is aligned with the U-shaped connecting groove on the side wall of the lower box 1. The protrusion 4 is pushed in along the connecting groove until the protrusion 4 is fully embedded. At this time, the relative position of the upper and lower boxes 1 is further constrained.

[0029] Rotating the handle 5 near the opening of the connecting groove drives the worm 7 in the drive cavity of the protrusion 4 to rotate. Since the worm 7 meshes with the worm wheel 6, the worm wheel 6 rotates with the worm 7 and drives the screws 8 on both sides of it to rotate synchronously. One end of the insert 9 is threaded to the screw 8, and the other end is located in the receiving groove of the protrusion 4. When the screw 8 rotates, it pushes the insert 9 to extend outward along the receiving groove and finally inserts it into the slots on both sides of the connecting groove, forming a mechanical lock.

[0030] A rigid connection is achieved between the upper and lower boxes 1, completely replacing the traditional friction fixing and eliminating the risk of tipping over;

[0031] Rotate handle 5 in the opposite direction, and worm 7 will drive worm wheel 6 and screw 8 to rotate in the opposite direction. Insert block 9 will retract along the storage groove and disengage from the slot of the connecting groove. At this time, protrusion 4 of upper box 1 can be pulled out from the connecting groove to complete the disassembly.

[0032] Depending on the requirements, a display block can be installed at the end of handle 5 away from worm gear 7 to facilitate understanding of the rotation angle of handle 5.

[0033] The C-shaped handle 12 on the protrusion 4 is connected by the hinge post 13 and can be flipped upward for workers to carry the box 1; the notch 14 at the end of the handle 12 near the handle 5 avoids the worm gear 7, avoids interfering with the operation of the handle 5, and takes into account the convenience of carrying and locking. When the two sets of boxes 1 are stacked, the two sets of handles 12 are in a horizontal state.

[0034] The observation window 10 on the door 2 facilitates real-time observation of mold growth in the culture chamber, and the handle 11 and hinge design make the door 2 open and close smoothly; the cleaning grooves 15 on both sides of the positioning groove make it easy to remove dust or impurities from the groove with tools, so as to avoid affecting the positioning accuracy.
