Description

Incubator

The present invention relates to an incubator, and more particularly to an incubator suitable for facilitating cultivation and observing the growth of a culture.

Generally, in order to enable plants to grow in an ideal environment for the purpose of seedling, research, medicinal use, etc., the plants are usually grown and grown in a plant incubator capable of simulating the optimal growth environment. The closed plant incubator cultivates the nutrients, and then controls the temperature and humidity inside the box to know the optimal growth environment conditions of the plant.

For example, in the Republic of China Announcement No. M414822 "Cultivation and Display Box" new patent case, the culture and display case disclosed in the case includes a base, an inner cover, at least one fog scraper, and a cover. The abutment has a water reservoir having a support member for the culture to be placed therein. The inner cover is made of a transparent material, and is disposed in the water storage tank and forms a closed space with the water storage tank. The wiper is disposed at the inner cover, and when the wiper is moved, the mist attached to the wall surface of the inner cover can be scraped off. The cover is non-transparent, and the cover is disposed on the base. The inner cover and the water storage tank are all located in the outer cover, and the outer cover further has an openable and closeable window cover. This provides a good growth environment for cultures such as bacteria and mushrooms, and the window cover that can be opened is convenient for observing the growth state of the culture at a proper time.

The aforementioned culture and display box can provide a closed, moderate temperature and humid environment to cultivate the culture, and can conveniently observe the state of the culture in the box without contacting the culture with the outside, and reducing the infection of the culture. The effect of the opportunity, but the above-mentioned culture and display box can only be suitable for cultivating cultures such as fungi or mushrooms that require long-term cultivation and do not require sunlight, and the general versatility is not good, so there is still room for improvement.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a culture for ensuring that a culture can be grown in a closed accommodation space that meets the desired growth conditions, and for viewing the culture without contact with the outside world. The growth condition or the cultivation device that displays the results of the culture.

Therefore, the cultivating device of the present invention comprises a box body, a light guiding unit, an adjusting unit, a culture frame, and a rolling unit. The box body comprises at least one outer door piece made of a non-transparent material, at least one inner door piece pivoted on the opposite inner side of the outer door piece and composed of a transparent and light transmissive material, and a permeable type The outer door piece and the inner door piece are in a receiving space communicating with the outside. The light guiding unit comprises a light source generating circuit disposed in the box and located between the outer door piece and the inner door piece and capable of generating light, and is disposed on each of the outer door pieces and electrically connected to the light source generating circuit. The diffusing plate, whereby the light generated by the light source generating circuit is uniformly irradiated to each of the inner door pieces via the diffusing plate, thereby providing illumination to the inside of the box. The culture frame is detachably placed in the accommodating space, and the culture frame includes a plurality of support rods connected to each other, and a plurality of carriers stacked on the support rods and spaced apart from each other, each of the plurality of carriers The holes are respectively used for placing a plurality of culture vessels containing the culture. The adjusting unit is disposed in the box body, and includes a temperature control component for adjusting the temperature of the accommodating space, a humidity control component for adjusting the humidity of the accommodating space, and a function for providing the cabinet body Gas control unit. The rolling unit is disposed at the bottom of the box and can drive the box to be displaced.

The effect of the invention is that the design of the double-layer door piece and the light guiding unit can introduce light into the accommodating space through the light guiding unit without opening the outer door piece and the inner door piece, so that the light is introduced into the accommodating space through the light guiding unit. The culture can be grown in a closed containment space that meets the desired growth conditions. In addition, when the growth state of the culture is to be observed or the culture results are to be displayed to others, the culture can be viewed at any time during the cultivation process without opening the outer door. Object and outside world Contact reduces the chance of the culture being infected by bacteria. In addition, by the setting of the rolling unit, the mobility of the entire incubating device can be provided more conveniently, and it is convenient to observe or display for display at any time.
