[0002] An incubator, also known as a biochemical incubator or a refrigerated incubator, is a precision experimental device that integrates heating, cooling, and temperature control functions. Its main function is to simulate a biological growth environment with a temperature range lower than the ambient temperature and that can be precisely controlled. Its core difference from an ordinary incubator is that it has refrigeration capabilities, which are achieved by blowing cold air into the chamber through a cooling system at the top of the incubator.

[0003] In existing technologies, cold air is mostly blown through only one air outlet, which can easily create direct airflow and dead corners, making it difficult for some areas to be reached. Utility Model Content

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the incubator has a culture tank inside, and the inner bottom wall of the culture tank is fixedly and movably connected to the bottom of the placement rack.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, one side of the incubator mechanism is fixedly connected to the side of the door via a hinge, and a cooling system is provided on the top of the incubator mechanism.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the culture tank is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air collecting frame, and the air collecting frame has an air collecting groove inside.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the air collecting trough is provided with a connection port, and the inner wall of the air collecting frame is provided with multiple diversion ports on three sides.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the inner side of the air collecting trough near the diversion port is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame, and the fixed frame has a rotating groove inside.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, one side of the inner wall of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to one end of the housing of the stepper motor, and the output end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod through a coupling.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the other end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame via a rotating shaft, one side of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to one side of the guide plate, and the outer wall of the guide plate is movably connected to the inner wall of the diversion port.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses the incubator's built-in cold air system to blow cold air towards the connection port. The cold air enters the air collection trough through the connection port, and then blows the cold air to the sides and rear of the placement rack through the diversion port, reducing direct airflow and dead corners, and greatly reducing liquid evaporation in the culture dish or culture bottle.

One side of the incubator mechanism 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the switch door 3 via a hinge, and a cooling system is provided on the top of the incubator mechanism 1.

[0025] Specifically: the incubator 101 blows cold air into the connection port 203 through its built-in cold air system, and the culture medium is supported by the placement rack 103.
