Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubator technology, and in particular to a layered mechanism for the internal structure of an incubator. Background Technology

[0002] An incubator is a laboratory or industrial device that provides stable growth and reproduction conditions for microorganisms, cells, tissues, plant seedlings, or small organisms by precisely controlling environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, light, and gas concentration. Its core function is to simulate specific natural growth environments and meet the stringent requirements of different biological samples for growth conditions. It is widely used in fields such as biomedicine, agricultural science, food inspection, and environmental monitoring.

[0003] If the internal cavity of an incubator has a fixed volume and is not layered, sample containers can only be placed at the bottom of the cavity, resulting in extremely low space utilization. Through a layered design, multiple independent culture areas can be divided vertically, allowing sample containers to be placed in layers. This increases the culture volume without increasing the size of the equipment. Fixed-height layering is the most basic layering method, with the interlayer height preset at the factory. Movable layering mostly uses fixed guide rails and movable partitions for layering. When the culture needs to be adjusted, the height of the partitions needs to be adjusted. Traditional layering adjustment requires removing the items from the partition, pulling out the partition, aligning it with the target layer height, putting the partition back, and putting the items back. For the purpose of removing and placing items and pulling out the partitions, the incubator door needs to be kept open for a long time, leading to an imbalance in the precise control parameters inside the chamber. When pulling out the partition, the friction between the slider and the chamber track can easily cause jamming, requiring force to push and pull, which may cause the partition to tilt, resulting in the culture bottles on top tipping over and causing sample loss. The adjustment remains unchanged. Therefore, we propose a layered mechanism inside the incubator to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a layered mechanism for the inside of an incubator.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a layered mechanism for the interior of an incubator, comprising a box body, a partition, a support tube, and a support block. Side cavities are formed on both sides of the box body, and equidistant side grooves are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the box body. Support tubes, equidistantly distributed and corresponding to the side grooves, are rotatably installed inside the side cavities. Rotary shafts, rotatably mounted on the inner walls of the side cavities, are provided at both ends of the support tubes. Torsion springs, with their two ends distributed and connected to the support tubes and the inner walls of the side cavities, are sleeved on the outer sides of the rotating shafts. A support block, penetrating the side grooves and with its lower end fitting against the lower inner wall of the side grooves, is provided at one end of the support tube. A partition is provided at the upper end of the support block.

[0006] Preferably, the front end of the rotating shaft is provided with a torsion block, the outer wall of the torsion block is provided with anti-slip textures distributed in a ring array, and the torsion block is located inside the housing.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the support block is provided with a horizontally distributed support surface, and the partition is a glass plate.

[0008] Preferably, the support block is hollow inside and communicates with the inside of the support tube, and a visual panel is embedded inside the upper end of the support block.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating shaft is hollow inside, and a light strip is suspended inside the support tube and connected to the support tube, the rotating shaft and the housing.

[0010] Preferably, both ends of the partition are rotatably equipped with equally spaced ball bearings.

[0011] Preferably, the partition plate has side holes at both ends, and a positioning rod is provided on the inner wall of the side hole. A positioning cylinder is sleeved on one end of the positioning rod, and a ball bearing is rotatably installed inside one end of the positioning cylinder. A spring is provided on one inner wall of the positioning cylinder, which is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod and connected to the inner wall of the side hole.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model features equidistantly distributed elastic support blocks inside the incubator. These blocks can only bend upwards, allowing the partition to be adjusted in height directly within the incubator. During adjustment, the raised partition presses against the support tube of the elastic support. As it passes the support block on the outer wall of the support tube, the support block automatically resets due to elastic force. Subsequently, the partition can be stably supported by the support block. When downward adjustment is needed, the support tube is actively rotated to retract, allowing the partition to slide smoothly. The partition adjustment is convenient and time-saving, requiring no complex operating steps. This minimizes fluctuations in parameters within the incubator, reducing the impact on the cultured products inside. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention proposes a layered mechanism for the interior of an incubator, comprising a box body 1, a partition 2, a support tube 12, and a support block 3. Side cavities 7 are provided on both sides of the box body 1, and side grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the box body 1 at equal intervals. Support tubes 12, which are equidistantly distributed and correspond to the side grooves 8, are rotatably installed inside the side cavities 7. Rotating shafts 14 are provided at both ends of the support tubes 12 and are rotatably installed on the inner wall of the side cavities 7. Torsion springs 9 are sleeved on the outside of the rotating shafts 14 and are distributed at both ends and connected to the support tubes 12 and the inner wall of the side cavities 7. A support block 3 is provided at one end of the support tube 12, which penetrates the side groove 8 and is attached to the lower inner wall of the side groove 8. A partition 2 is provided at the upper end of the support block 3.

[0022] A twist block 4 is provided at the front end of the rotating shaft 14. The outer wall of the twist block 4 is provided with anti-slip textures distributed in a ring array. The twist block 4 is located inside the housing 1.

[0023] The upper end of the support block 3 is provided with a horizontally distributed support surface 11, and the partition 2 is a glass plate;

[0024] The support block 3 is hollow inside and communicates with the inside of the support tube 12. A visual panel 13 is embedded in the upper end of the support block 3.

[0025] The inside of the rotating shaft 14 is hollow, and a light strip 10 is suspended inside the support tube 12 and connected to the support tube 12, the rotating shaft 14 and the housing 1.

[0026] Both ends of the partition 2 are rotatably equipped with equally spaced ball bearings 6;

[0027] The partition 2 has side holes 5 at both ends. A positioning rod 17 is provided on the inner wall of the side hole 5. A positioning cylinder 15 is sleeved on one end of the positioning rod 17. A ball bearing 6 is rotatably installed inside one end of the positioning cylinder 15. A spring 16 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 15, which is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod 17 and connected to the inner wall of the side hole 5.

[0028] Implementation steps based on Example 1:

[0029] The incubator body 1 has symmetrically arranged side cavities 7 on both sides. Equally spaced side grooves 8 are formed on the inner walls of both sides corresponding to the positions of the side cavities 7. The side grooves 8 provide channels for the extension and retraction of the support blocks 3, while preventing exposed structures from contaminating the incubator environment. The support tubes 12 are hollow, serving both support and wiring functions. They are rotatably installed inside the side cavities 7 via a rotating shaft 14, with each support tube 12 precisely corresponding to one side groove 8. The front and rear ends of the rotating shaft 14 are embedded in the inner walls of the side cavities 7, and torsion springs 9 are sleeved on the outer sides. The two ends of the torsion springs 9 are fixed to the outer wall of the support tube 12 and the inner wall of the side cavity 7, respectively. In a static state, the torsion springs 9 are in their natural state, providing stable torsional elasticity for the support tubes 12. The support tube 12 is fixed to a support block 3 at one end near the side groove 8. The support block 3 extends through the side groove 8 into the box. The upper end is provided with a horizontal support surface 11, which fits against the bottom of the partition 2 to ensure stable load bearing. The support block 3 is hollow inside and communicates with the support tube 12. A viewing plate 13 is embedded at the upper end. The viewing plate 13 is made of transparent material, which is convenient for observing the sample. The partition 2 installed in the box is a glass plate, which is heat-resistant, easy to clean, and easy to observe. Side holes 5 are opened inside both ends. A ball bearing 6 is installed in the side hole 5 through a positioning rod 17, a positioning cylinder 15, and a spring 16. The spring 16 provides elastic support for the ball bearing 6, so that the ball bearing 6 slightly protrudes from the side of the partition 2.

[0030] When the mechanism is not adjusted, the torsion spring 9 is in a naturally extended state. Its torsional force drives the support tube 12 to rotate around the rotating shaft 14, keeping the support block 3 in the state of extending out of the side groove 8. The horizontal support surface 11 at the upper end of the support block 3 is in close contact with the bottom of the partition 2. The two support blocks 3 together provide stable support for the partition 2, ensuring that the culture dishes, cell bottles and other samples placed on the partition 2 will not tilt or collapse. In this state, the ball bearings 6 at both ends of the partition 2 make slight contact with the inner wall of the box 1 due to the elastic force of the spring 16. This does not affect the stability of the support and can reduce the friction between the partition 2 and the box 1 during subsequent adjustments, solving the problem of hard friction and jamming of traditional sliders. The light strip 10 suspended inside the support tube 12 can provide soft lighting. With the visual panel 13 of the support block 3, the sample status can be observed without opening the box door.

[0031] When it is necessary to increase the height of partition 2, there is no need to remove the sample on partition 2; simply lift partition 2 upwards. When the lifting force is applied upwards, the bottom of partition 2 presses against the support surface 11 of the current support block 3. After being subjected to force, support block 3 drives support tube 12 to rotate around shaft 14 into the side cavity 7. At this time, the torsion spring 9 on the outside of shaft 14 is torsional deformed, storing elastic potential energy. Support block 3 gradually retracts into the side cavity 7 along with support tube 12, making room for partition 2 to move upwards. The ball bearings 6 at both ends of partition 2 roll into contact with the inner wall of the box 1, changing traditional sliding friction into rolling friction. To avoid jamming between partition 2 and box 1, and to ensure that partition 2 can move upward smoothly, when partition 2 moves to the side groove 8 position corresponding to the target layer height, the bottom of partition 2 is disengaged from the support block 3 of that layer, the torsion spring 9 releases elastic potential energy, driving the support tube 12 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the support block 3 extends out of the side groove 8 again. Its horizontal support surface 11 is once again attached to the bottom of partition 2, realizing automatic positioning support. The entire upward adjustment process is time-saving and convenient, without the need to disassemble partition 2 or take out samples. The door opening time is extremely short, solving the problems of contamination caused by traditional sample handling and parameter imbalance caused by long door opening.

[0032] When it is necessary to lower the height of partition 2, the support block 3 is stored by actively rotating to unlock it. Rotate the torsion block 4, which is fixed at the front end of the rotating shaft 14 and located on the outside of the box 1. The outer wall has anti-slip texture for easy operation. The torsion block 4 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the support tube 12 to rotate into the side cavity 7. At this time, the torsion spring 9 deforms again, and the support block 3 is stored in the side cavity 7 along with the support tube 12, releasing the support for partition 2. After the support is released, partition 2 slowly slides down under its own weight. The ball bearings 6 at both ends continue to reduce the friction with the box 1. When partition 2 drops to the target height, rotate the torsion block 4 in the opposite direction. The torsion spring 9 resets and drives the support block 3 to extend out of the side groove 8, supporting partition 2 again and completing the downward adjustment. During this process, the storage of support block 3 is actively controlled by the torsion block 4, avoiding the problem of uneven force in the traditional manual pulling of partition 2, ensuring that partition 2 always slides down horizontally and will not cause the sample to tip over due to tilting.

[0033] This layering mechanism is designed with elastic support and active unlocking as its core features. Through the linkage of structural components such as the box body 1, support tube 12, rotating shaft 14, torsion spring 9, support block 3, and partition 2, it enables rapid layer height adjustment of partition 2 within the box without disassembling partition 2 or removing samples. This fundamentally solves the problems of cumbersome traditional layering operations, sample contamination, and parameter fluctuations. The elastic force of torsion spring 9 enables automatic avoidance and reset support of support block 3, and the linkage between rotating shaft 14 and torsion block 4 enables active storage of support block 3.
