Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent incubator technology, specifically to an automatic door opening and closing mechanism for an oscillating incubator. Background Technology

[0002] As an integrated platform for interdisciplinary research, the intelligent oscillating incubator deeply integrates precise temperature control technology, wide-frequency oscillation adjustment, and multi-level amplitude adaptation functions, aiming to provide customized solutions for dynamic experimental environments. The core functions of this device support a variety of complex research activities, including microbial culture, enzymatic reactions, gene recombination, and biofermentation. By achieving three-dimensional oscillation motion, the incubator significantly improves the efficiency of mass exchange and simultaneously suppresses temperature fluctuations, thereby ensuring cell viability and the stability of the reaction process. Its applications are wide-ranging, covering multiple fields such as biopharmaceuticals, food safety, environmental engineering, and molecular diagnostics, providing efficient and reliable culture technology solutions for life sciences, industrial R&D, and environmental protection.

[0003] Traditional intelligent shaking incubators require a large space to open, especially in space-constrained environments such as laboratories. Hinged doors may cause inconvenience or even safety hazards. Some traditional incubator doors require two-hand operation, which is not smooth enough. Especially when the experimenter needs to open and close the door frequently, it will increase the operator's workload and may result in incomplete closing or insecure locking, affecting the stability of the internal environment of the incubator, such as temperature and humidity, and affecting the culture results.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0018] This embodiment provides an automatic door opening and closing mechanism for a vibrating incubator, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the incubator includes a main body 1, a cover 2 at the front end of the main body 1, and a placement plate 14 inside the main body 1 for supporting the culture. Support shafts 13 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the main body 1, and the top of each support shaft 13 is connected to the bottom of the main body 1 by a thread. Four casters 12 are evenly installed at the bottom of the main body 1 for supporting the sliding displacement of the main body 1. The incubator body 1 has receiving slots 15 on both the left and right sides. Each receiving slot 15 has a slide rail 3 on its front side. The slide rail 3 is slidably connected to the incubator body 1. The front end of the slide rail 3 is fixedly connected to the back of the cover 2. A connecting support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the back of the slide rail 3. A connecting rod 1 5 is provided at the top of the connecting support plate 4. A connecting rod 2 6 is provided at the bottom of the connecting support plate 4. A connecting rod 3 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting rod 2 6. The top of the connecting rod 3 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving slot 15. The bottom of the front side of the connecting rod 2 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting support plate 4. The back end of the connecting rod 2 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving slot 15. The bottom end of the connecting plate 11 is rotatably connected to the back end of the connecting rod 2 6. The top of the back side of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 8, and the bottom of the back side of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 11. The inside of the receiving groove 15 is equipped with an electric hydraulic rod 9. The back side of the outer rod of the electric hydraulic rod 9 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 10. The ends of the rotating shafts 10 that are close to each other are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 15. The front end of the inner rod of the electric hydraulic rod 9 is fixedly connected to the back end of the limiting block 8.

[0019] The bottom end of the front side of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the top end of the connecting support plate 4, and the top end of the front side of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 15.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the reduced door space occupancy rate due to the vertical lifting opening and closing structure is particularly suitable for laboratory environments with limited space. It avoids the interference of traditional hinged doors with the surrounding space. The integrated pull-out sliding design allows for easy one-handed operation and achieves mechanical self-locking, making operation labor-saving and reliable. It improves space utilization efficiency and ease of operation, while also ensuring the sealing of the door lock and maintaining the stability of the incubator's internal environment. Overall, it significantly improves the user experience and work efficiency.

[0021] Working principle: By pushing the cover 2, the user causes the cover 2 to move the slide rail 3 on the incubator body 1. The slide rail 3, through the connecting support plate 4, simultaneously drives the connecting rod 1 5 and the connecting rod 2 6 to rotate. During this process, the connecting plate 11 and the connecting rod 3 7 swing along, providing movement limits for the connecting rod 2 6 and the connecting rod 1 5. This causes the limit block 8 to move the inner rod of the electric hydraulic rod 9 out of the outer rod, and the electric hydraulic rod 9 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate. When the cover 2 moves to its limit distance, the cover 2 is fully opened, and the user can place items on the placement plate 14 inside the incubator body 1. During this process, the slide rail 3 is temporarily secured by the components associated with the connecting support plate 4. When the cover 2 is not pushed by external force, it will remain stable, thus enabling the cover 2 to complete self-locking. When it is necessary to close the incubator body 1, the user only needs to press the cover 2, which will cause the cover 2 to move down and reset the components. The device is supported on the table by a support shaft 13. By rotating the support shaft 13, the height of the support shaft 13 can be adjusted. When the support shaft 13 is adjusted to be not on the same plane as the caster wheel 12, the user can push the incubator body 1 and adjust the position of the incubator body 1 by the rolling of the caster wheel 12.

[0022] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
