Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of incubator technology, specifically relating to a biochemical incubator. Background Technology
[0002] Biochemical incubators, with their bidirectional temperature control system for both cooling and heating, are essential experimental equipment in laboratories of research institutions, universities, production units, and departments in fields such as biology, genetic engineering, medicine, public health and disease control, environmental protection, and agriculture and animal husbandry. They are widely used in low-temperature constant-temperature experiments, culture experiments, and environmental experiments. The controller circuit of a biochemical incubator consists of a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, and a control execution circuit. However, to ensure smooth airflow and uniform temperature distribution, most existing biochemical incubators use a perforated frame to hold culture vessels. These vessels are often made of glass to provide a relatively stable environment, facilitate cleaning and sterilization, and allow for easy observation of changes during the culture process. However, glass culture vessels have drawbacks such as low pressure resistance and fragility. Moving the biochemical incubator during the culture process, causing the chamber to shake, or improper operation can lead to the culture vessels tipping over and breaking, ultimately terminating the culture process.
[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the problem of culture vessels breaking due to tipping and thus terminating the culture, this utility model proposes a biochemical incubator that can effectively limit and fix the culture vessels, preventing them from tipping over due to external factors and terminating the culture, thereby ensuring the normal culture of the culture vessels. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a biochemical culture chamber that can effectively limit and fix culture vessels, preventing them from tipping over due to external factors and thus ensuring normal culture. The specific solution is as follows: A biochemical incubator includes an incubator body with a door hinged to one side. Multiple inverted T-shaped slide rails are fixedly spaced along the height of opposite side walls inside the incubator body, with the open ends of the inverted T-shaped slide rails facing inwards. Each of the multiple inverted T-shaped slide rails contains an inverted T-shaped slider that can slide within it. A placement rack is fixedly connected between each pair of opposite inverted T-shaped sliders. Several placement rods are evenly spaced and fixedly connected within each placement rack. Multiple vessel limiting mechanisms are evenly spaced on each of the placement rods, and the vessel limiting mechanisms are slidably mounted on the placement rods.
[0005] Furthermore, the vessel limiting mechanism includes two limiting plates and two compression springs. The two limiting plates are symmetrically slidably disposed on the placement rod. The two limiting plates are vertically downwardly provided with arc-shaped limiting grooves on opposite sides. Spring mounting holes are provided on both sides of the opposite ends of the two limiting plates along the length of the placement rod. The two compression springs are respectively disposed in the spring mounting holes on both sides, and the two ends of the compression springs are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two spring mounting holes.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper ends of the two arc-shaped limiting grooves are respectively vertically fixed with arc-shaped blocks of the same diameter.
[0007] Furthermore, two telescopic rods are symmetrically provided on the upper surface of the two limiting plates, and an arc-shaped limiting block with the same diameter as the arc-shaped limiting groove is fixedly connected to one side of the two telescopic rods on the same side near the arc-shaped limiting groove.
[0008] Furthermore, both limiting plates are composed of two symmetrically arranged limiting plates, with multiple semi-circular through holes spaced apart on opposite sides of the two limiting plates. Semi-circular spring mounting holes are provided on both sides of the two limiting plates, and the two limiting plates are connected and disassembled by screws.
[0009] Furthermore, a U-shaped positioning rod is fixedly installed on the side of the multiple inverted T-shaped sliders near the door, wherein one end of the U-shaped positioning rod is fixedly connected to the inverted T-shaped slider and the other end is inserted into the positioning hole on the inverted T-shaped slide rail.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model discloses a biochemical incubator, which includes a vessel limiting mechanism and a U-shaped positioning rod. The vessel can be placed in an arc-shaped limiting groove opened by two limiting plates, and the compression springs on both sides of the limiting plates effectively limit and fix the vessel. The U-shaped limiting blocks on the upper part of the two limiting plates further limit and fix the vessel, thereby preventing the vessel from tipping over and breaking due to shaking of the incubator or improper operation, which would lead to the termination of the culture. The U-shaped positioning rod further ensures the stability of the placement rack. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] See Figure 1-6 A biochemical incubator includes an incubator body 1, with a door 2 hinged to one side of the incubator body 1. Multiple inverted T-shaped slide rails 3 are fixedly spaced along the height direction on opposite side walls inside the incubator body 1, with the open ends of the inverted T-shaped slide rails 3 facing inwards. Each of the multiple inverted T-shaped slide rails 3 contains an inverted T-shaped slider 4 that can slide within it. The length of the inverted T-shaped slider 4 is the same as the length of the inverted T-shaped slide rail 3, and the inverted T-shaped slider 4 is tightly attached to the inverted T-shaped slide rail 3. Placement racks 5 are fixedly connected between each pair of opposite inverted T-shaped sliders 4. Multiple placement rods 6 are evenly spaced and fixedly connected within the placement racks 5. Multiple vessel limiting mechanisms 7 are evenly spaced on the placement rods 6, and the vessel limiting mechanisms 7 are slidably mounted on the placement rods 6.
[0020] The preferred vessel limiting mechanism 7 includes two limiting plates 701 and two compression springs 702. The two limiting plates 701 are symmetrically slidably disposed on the placement rod 6. Each of the two limiting plates 701 has a vertically downward-facing arc-shaped limiting groove 703 on its opposite sides. Spring mounting holes 704 are respectively formed on both sides of the opposite ends of the two limiting plates 701 along the length of the placement rod 6. The two compression springs 702 are respectively disposed within the spring mounting holes 704 on both sides, with both ends of the compression springs 702 fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two spring mounting holes 704. The two limiting plates 701 are provided with four through holes spaced apart, allowing them to slide on the placement rod 6. The two through holes in the middle are located in the arc-shaped limiting groove 703 and allow the two placement rods 6 to pass through. The spring mounting holes 704 on both sides are coaxially arranged with the through holes on both sides, and the diameter of the spring mounting holes 704 is larger than the diameter of the through holes. The placement rods 6 in the arc-shaped limiting groove 703 are used to place the culture vessel. In use, pull the limiting plate 701 on one side and place the culture vessel on the two placement rods 6 between the two arc-shaped limiting grooves 703. Then, release the limiting plate 701 and the two limiting plates 701 can be brought together by the extension and contraction force of the two compression springs 702, so as to realize the limiting and fixing of the culture vessel.
[0021] The upper ends of the two preferred arc-shaped limiting grooves 703 are respectively vertically fixed with arc-shaped blocks 705 of the same diameter, wherein the arc-shaped blocks 705 can further limit and fix the culture vessel around its body.
[0022] The preferred two limiting plates 701 are symmetrically provided with two telescopic rods 706 on their upper surfaces. On the same side, the two telescopic rods 706 near the arc-shaped limiting groove 703 are fixedly connected to an arc-shaped limiting block 707 with the same diameter as the arc-shaped limiting groove 703. The telescopic rods 706 can be appropriately adjusted for the height of the culture vessel, while the arc-shaped limiting block 707 can limit and fix the upper part of the culture vessel, further improving the stability of the culture vessel.
[0023] The preferred two limiting plates 701 are each composed of two limiting plates arranged symmetrically at the top and bottom. Multiple semi-circular through holes are opened at intervals on the opposite sides of the two limiting plates. Semi-circular spring mounting holes are opened on both sides of the two limiting plates. The two limiting plates are connected and disassembled by screws 708. By designing the limiting plate 701 as two upper and lower limiting plates, the limiting plate 701 can be disassembled and assembled by removing the screws 708.
[0024] A plurality of inverted T-shaped sliders 4 are preferably fixed with U-shaped positioning rods 8 on the side near the door 2. One end of the U-shaped positioning rod 8 is fixed to the inverted T-shaped slider 4, and the other end is inserted into the positioning hole on the inverted T-shaped slide rail 3. The design of the U-shaped positioning rod 8 can further ensure the stability of the placement rack 5.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model: When the culture vessel is placed in the incubator body 1 for cultivation, first open the door 2 and pull out the placement rack 5. At this time, the inverted T-shaped slider 4 slides along the inverted T-shaped slide rail 3. Then, pull the limiting plate 701 on one side and place the culture vessel on the two placement rods 6 between the two arc-shaped limiting grooves 703. Then, release the limiting plate 701 and the two limiting plates 701 can be brought closer together by the extension force of the two compression springs 702. Then, the arc-shaped blocks 705 on both sides are placed against the lower part of the culture vessel. Then, the arc-shaped limiting blocks 707 are pulled according to the height of the culture vessel to raise and lower the telescopic rod 706 to the appropriate position. Then, the arc-shaped limiting blocks 707 on both sides are placed against the upper sides of the culture vessel. This operation can effectively limit and fix the culture vessel, avoiding the culture vessel from tipping over and breaking when the incubator body 1 is moved or due to improper operation, thus ensuring the normal cultivation of the culture vessel.
