[0002] A cell culture device is equipment used in a laboratory for culturing, preserving, and propagating cells, providing a controllable environment to promote cell growth and proliferation, and is commonly used in experimental research in fields such as cytology and molecular biology. When culturing cells, first, the cells to be cultured are placed in a culture dish, and then the culture dish containing the cells to be cultured is placed in the culture device.
[0003] To ensure the normal culturing of cells, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the gas inside the incubator, thereby ensuring the internal environment of the incubator. In actual use, when taking and placing the culture dish inside the incubator, the incubator needs to go through two actions of being opened and closed. During the opening and closing process of the incubator, external air will enter the inside of the incubator, which will affect the air quality inside the incubator and the normal culturing of cells; The existing Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN117264766B discloses a cell culture device for medical research. When the door of the box is opened, the nozzle can spray disinfectant on the opening position of the partition, using the disinfectant to disinfect the air at the opening position of the partition. In actual use, the sprayed disinfectant easily falls into the culture dish at the opening position, which will affect the cells in the culture dish and is not conducive to the normal culturing of cells.

[0016] 2. A cell culture device of the present invention, by setting a sterilization mechanism, can use multiple ultraviolet lamps to disinfect and sterilize the interior of the incubator, thereby ensuring the environment inside the incubator; at the same time, through the resistance component and the telescopic component, when the culture rack moves from the incubator toward the interior of the box, the contact does not contact the contact switch, and the ultraviolet lamp does not work at this time; when the culture rack moves from the interior of the incubator into the interior of the box, the contact contacts the contact switch, and the ultraviolet lamp is turned on at this time, that is, after the culture rack leaves the interior of the incubator, the ultraviolet lamp can disinfect and sterilize the interior of the incubator, and can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays from affecting the cells in the culture dish; when the culture rack continues to move out of the interior of the box, the contact drives the contact switch to move, and the ultraviolet lamp is in the on state.
[0017] 3. In a cell culture device of the present invention, when the culture rack needs to enter the interior of the incubator again, the culture rack first enters the interior of the box. At this time, under the action of the first spring, the contact switch can be driven to move, that is, during the process of the culture rack moving from the outside of the box into the interior of the box, the contact is always in contact with the contact switch, and the ultraviolet lamp works. When the culture rack enters the interior of the box and moves toward the incubator, the contact is disengaged from the contact switch, and the ultraviolet lamp does not work at this time, which can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays from affecting the cells in the culture dish. At the same time, the interior of the incubator can be sterilized before the culture dish on the culture rack enters the incubator.
[0018] 4. A cell culture device of the present invention forms a linkage effect between the sterilization mechanism and the feeding mechanism by arranging a telescopic component and a resistance component, that is, when the culture rack is inside the incubator, the ultraviolet lamp does not work to prevent affecting the cells in the culture dish on the culture rack; when the culture rack is moved out of the incubator, the ultraviolet lamp starts to work to disinfect and sterilize the interior of the incubator with high synchronization, which can provide a favorable environment for cell culture and is conducive to the normal progress of cell culture.

The culture rack 36 is located inside the incubator 19. The moving assembly is located between the base 11 and the culture rack 36. In actual use, when cells need to be cultured, a culture dish containing cells to be cultured is placed on the culture rack 36, and the culture rack 36 is moved into the incubator 19 by using the moving assembly, thereby achieving cell culture. The sterilization mechanism includes a contact switch 50, a telescopic component, a resistance component and a plurality of ultraviolet lamps 51, wherein the plurality of ultraviolet lamps 51 are installed on the inner wall of the incubator 19, the contact switch 50 is located on the outer side of the box 12, the telescopic component is located between the contact switch 50 and the box 12, and the resistance component is installed on one side of the moving component; When the contact 43 contacts the contact switch 50, the plurality of second door openings 15 are opened to achieve sterilization of the interior of the incubator 19; The sealing mechanism includes a first door hole 13, a first door panel 14, a second door hole 15, a second door panel 16, a lifting assembly and a driving assembly. The first door hole 13 is opened on a side of the box body 12 away from the incubator 19, and the second door hole 15 is opened on a side of the incubator 19 close to the first door hole 13. Both the first door hole 13 and the second door hole 15 are used for the culture rack 36 to pass through. The first door panel 14 is located at one side of the first door hole 13 and is slidably set on the inner wall of the box body 12. The first door panel 14 is used to achieve blocking of the first door hole 13. The second door panel 16 is located at one side of the second door hole 15 and is slidably set on the surface of the incubator 19. The second door panel 16 is used to achieve blocking of the second door hole 15. In the initial state, the second door panel 16 blocks the second door opening 15 , the first door opening 13 is open, and the culture rack 36 is located inside the incubator 19 . It should be noted that the bottom ends of the first door panel 14 and the second door panel 16 are both provided with grooves for avoiding the guide seat 34 .
[0032] like Figures 1 - 10 As shown, a guide seat 34 is fixed on the top of the base 11, a movable seat 35 is slidably arranged above the guide seat 34, and a culture rack 36 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable seat 35. The sliding connection between the guide seat 34 and the movable seat 35 can provide guidance for the movement of the culture rack 36.
[0033] like Figures 1 - 10 As shown, the moving assembly includes an electric push rod 37, a first connecting rod 38 and a pushing rod 39. The pushing rod 39 penetrates the box body 12 and the incubator 19 and is slidably connected to the box body 12 and the incubator 19, that is, the box body 12 and the incubator 19 are both provided with through holes, and the pushing rod 39 is slidably arranged inside the through holes. It should be noted that a sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the through hole, one end of the pushing rod 39 is fixedly connected to the moving seat 35, the electric push rod 37 is installed at the bottom end of the base 11, the output end of the electric push rod 37 is connected to the first connecting rod 38, and the other end of the pushing rod 39 is connected to the top end of the first connecting rod 38; When the culture rack 36 needs to be moved out, the controller controls the electric push rod 37 to work, and the electric push rod 37 can drive the first connecting rod 38 to move toward the direction close to the box body 12. The first connecting rod 38 drives the culture rack 36 and the movable seat 35 to slide on the guide seat 34 through the pushing rod 39, so that the culture rack 36 can be moved out.
[0034] like Figures 1 - 10 As shown, the abutment assembly includes a second connecting rod 40, a telescopic rod 41, a first side plate 42 and a contact 43, the first side plate 42 is fixed to the outer wall of the box body 12, the telescopic rod 41 is slidably arranged on the first side plate 42, one end of the telescopic rod 41 is fixedly connected to the contact 43, the other end of the telescopic rod 41 is connected to one end of the second connecting rod 40, and the other end of the second connecting rod 40 is connected to the first connecting rod 38; When the first connecting rod 38 moves toward the box body 12 , the first connecting rod 38 drives the telescopic rod 41 to slide on the first side plate 42 through the second connecting rod 40 , and the telescopic rod 41 can drive the contact 43 to move in the same direction when moving.
[0035] like Figures 1 - 10As shown, the telescopic assembly includes a second side plate 45, a limit plate 46, a first spring 47, a guide rail 48, a moving block 49 and a sliding rod 44. The second side plate 45 is located at one side of the first side plate 42 and is fixed to the outer wall of the box body 12. The sliding rod 44 is slidably arranged on the second side plate 45. The contact switch 50 is installed at one end of the sliding rod 44. The limit plate 46 is installed at the other end of the sliding rod 44. The first spring 47 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 44. The two ends of the first spring 47 are respectively connected to the limit plate 46 and the second side plate 45. The guide rail 48 is fixed to the outer wall of the box body 12. The moving block 49 is slidably arranged inside the guide rail 48. The top end of the moving block 49 is fixedly connected to the contact 43. When the culture rack 36 moves from the incubator 19 to the inside of the box 12, the contact 43 moves toward the direction close to the contact switch 50, but does not contact the contact switch 50. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 51 does not work. When the culture rack 36 moves from the inside of the incubator 19 to the inside of the box 12, the contact 43 is moved to one side of the contact switch 50 and contacts the contact switch 50. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 51 is turned on, that is, after the culture rack 36 leaves the inside of the incubator 19, the ultraviolet lamp 51 can disinfect and sterilize the inside of the incubator 19, which can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays from affecting the cells in the culture dish. When the culture rack 36 continues to move out of the box 12, the contact 43 pushes the contact switch 50 to move, and the contact switch 50 drives the moving block 49 to slide inside the guide rail 48. At the same time, the contact switch 50 drives the sliding rod 44 to slide on the second side plate 45. When the sliding rod 44 moves, it drives the limit plate 46 to move, and the first spring 47 is stretched, and the ultraviolet lamp 51 is still in the on state. When the culture rack 36 needs to enter the interior of the incubator 19 again, the electric push rod 37 drives the first connecting rod 38 to move away from the box 12, and the first connecting rod 38 drives the telescopic rod 41 to move through the second connecting rod 40, and the telescopic rod 41 drives the contact 43 to move, so that the culture rack 36 first enters the interior of the box 12. In this process, under the action of the first spring 47, the contact switch 50 can be driven to move toward the direction close to the contact 43 and contact the contact 43. That is, when the culture rack 36 moves from the outside of the box 12 to the inside of the box 12, the contact 43 43 is always in contact with the contact switch 50, and the ultraviolet lamp 51 is working. When the push rod 39 continues to move in the direction away from the box 12, so that the culture rack 36 enters the interior of the box 12 and moves toward the incubator 19, the telescopic rod 41 drives the contact 43 to move in the direction away from the contact switch 50, and the contact 43 is separated from the contact switch 50. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 51 does not work, which can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays from affecting the cells in the culture dish, and at the same time, the interior of the incubator 19 can be sterilized before the culture dish on the culture rack 36 enters the incubator 19; That is, when the culture rack 36 is inside the incubator 19, the ultraviolet lamp 51 does not work to prevent affecting the cells in the culture dish on the culture rack 36. After the culture rack 36 is removed from the inside of the incubator 19, the ultraviolet lamp 51 starts to work to disinfect and sterilize the inside of the incubator 19 with high synchronism, which can provide a favorable environment for cell culture and is conducive to the normal progress of cell culture.
[0036] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, two moving rods 17 are fixedly connected to the top ends of the first door panel 14 and the second door panel 16 respectively. The other end of each moving rod 17 passes through the box body 12, and a moving plate 18 is fixed to the top ends of the two moving rods 17 on the same side.
[0037] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, the lifting assembly includes a rotating shaft 22, two vertical rods 21, two swing rods 23, two first insertion rods 24, two first fixing seats 25, two second insertion rods 26 and two second fixing seats 27. The two vertical rods 21 are both fixed to the top end of the base 11. The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably arranged between the two vertical rods 21. The two swing rods 23 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the rotating shaft 22. A fixing plate 29 is fixed to one side of each vertical rod 21. A guide rod 28 is slidably connected to each fixing plate 29. The top end of each guide rod 28 is connected to a second fixing seat 27. The sliding connection between the guide rod 28 and the fixing plate 29 can play a guiding role for the second fixing seat 27. Each first fixing seat 25 is fixed to the top end of a moving plate 18. Each first insertion rod 24 is inserted into the inside of a first fixing seat 25. Each second insertion rod 26 is inserted into the inside of a second fixing seat 27. Each first insertion rod 24 and a second insertion rod 26 are respectively fixed to the two ends of a swing rod 23; Specifically, a strip-shaped groove is formed in the middle of each second fixing seat 27 and each first fixing seat 25. The second insertion rod 26 is inserted into the strip-shaped groove in the middle of the second fixing seat 27, and the first insertion rod 24 is inserted into the strip-shaped groove in the middle of the first fixing seat 25.
[0038] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, the driving assembly includes a mounting plate 30, a motor 31, a rotating rod 32 and two hinge rods 33. The mounting plate 30 is fixedly installed on the top end of the box body 12. The rotating rod 32 is rotatably arranged on one side of the mounting plate 30. The motor 31 is installed on the side of the mounting plate 30 away from the rotating rod 32. The output end of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 32. One end of each hinge rod 33 is hinged to the bottom end of a second fixing seat 27, and the other end of each hinge rod 33 is hinged to one end of the rotating rod 32; When it is necessary to take out the culture dish inside the incubator 19, the controller controls the motor 31 to work, and the motor 31 drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate. At this time, under the action of the two hinge rods 33, the two second fixed seats 27 will move in the direction away from each other, so that the two second insertion rods 26 can drive the two swing rods 23 to rotate reversely around the axis of the rotating shaft 22. When the two swing rods 23 rotate reversely, the two moving plates 18 can be driven by the two first insertion rods 24 and the two first fixed seats 25. At this time, one of the moving plates 18 drives the second door panel 16 to move upward through the moving rod 17, and the other moving plate 18 drives the first door panel 14 to move downward through the moving rod 17; When the second door panel 16 moves upward, the first door panel 14 moves downward to quickly close the first door opening 13. When the second door panel 16 moves upward and the second door opening 15 is opened, the culture rack 36 is pushed out from the inside of the incubator 19 to the inside of the box body 12 through the feeding assembly. Subsequently, the motor 31 controls the rotating rod 32 to rotate reversely, and the second door panel 16 moves downward to close the second door opening 15 to maintain the seal inside the incubator 19. At this time, the first door panel 14 moves upward to open the first door opening 13, and then the culture rack 36 is pushed out of the box body 12 through the feeding assembly, which is convenient for taking out the culture dish on the culture rack 36. The first door panel 14 and the second door panel 16 can be quickly switched, so as to prevent the incubator 19 from being always opened during the process of taking out the culture dish, resulting in a large amount of external air entering the incubator 19, effectively preventing the dust and bacteria carried in the air from entering the incubator 19, and reducing the possibility of the incubator 19 being contaminated.
[0039] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, avoidance grooves 53 are provided in the middle of the bottom ends of the first door panel 14 and the second door panel 16. A closing assembly is provided on one side of each avoidance groove 53. Specifically, the size of the avoidance groove 53 matches the size of the push rod 39, and the avoidance groove 53 plays a role in avoidance to prevent the push rod 39 from conflicting with the first door panel 14 or the second door panel 16.
[0040] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, each closing assembly includes a telescopic plate 54, a baffle 55, two guide rods 56 and two second springs 57. The baffle 55 is installed on one side of the first door panel 14. The telescopic plate 54 is located on one side of the avoidance groove 53 and is in contact with the first door panel 14. Similarly, the baffle 55 in the closing assembly on one side of the second door panel 16 is fixed on one side of the second door panel 16. The telescopic plate 54 is located on one side of the avoidance groove 53 and is in contact with the second door panel 16. The two guide rods 56 are symmetrically and slidably arranged on the baffle 55. The bottom end of each guide rod 56 is fixedly connected to the telescopic plate 54. Each second spring 57 is sleeved on a guide rod 56. The two ends of each second spring 57 are respectively connected to the baffle 55 and the telescopic plate 54. The telescopic plate 54 is used to block the avoidance groove 53 to improve the sealing effect; In the initial state, the second spring 57 is in a natural state. When the first door panel 14 or the second door panel 16 conflicts with the push rod 39 during the downward movement, the push rod 39 pushes the telescopic plate 54 to move upward. At this time, the guide rod 56 slides on the baffle 55, and the second spring 57 is compressed, that is, the telescopic plate 54 releases the blockage of the avoidance groove 53, so that the push rod 39 can pass smoothly. At the same time, under the action of the avoidance groove 53, the bottom end of the first door panel 14 or the second door panel 16 can still contact the guide seat 34, thereby achieving a sealing effect.
[0041] The specific working process of the present invention is as follows: When the culture dish on the culture rack 36 needs to be taken out, the controller controls the motor 31 to work, and the motor 31 drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate. At this time, under the action of the two hinged rods 33, the two second fixed seats 27 will move in the direction away from each other, so that the two second plug rods 26 can drive the two swing rods 23 to rotate in the opposite direction around the axis of the rotating shaft 22. When the two swing rods 23 rotate in the opposite direction, the two first plug rods 24 and the two first fixed seats 25 can drive the two movable plates 18 to move. At this time, one of the movable plates 18 drives the second door panel 16 to move upward through the moving rod 17, and the other movable plate 18 drives the first door panel 14 to move downward through the moving rod 17, that is, when the second door panel 16 moves upward, the first door panel 14 moves downward to quickly close the first door opening 13. When the second door panel 16 moves upward and the second door opening 15 is opened, the controller controls the electric push rod 37 to work, and the electric push rod 37 can drive the first The connecting rod 38 moves toward the direction approaching the box body 12, and the first connecting rod 38 drives the culture rack 36 and the moving seat 35 to slide on the guide seat 34 through the pushing rod 39, so that the culture rack 36 can be pushed out from the inside of the incubator 19 to the inside of the box body 12, and then the motor 31 controls the rotating rod 32 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the second door panel 16 moves downward to close the second door opening 15 to keep the inside of the incubator 19 sealed. At this time, the first door panel 14 moves upward to open the first door opening 13, and then the culture rack 36 is pushed out of the box body 12 through the feeding assembly, so that the culture dish on the culture rack 36 can be taken out conveniently. The first door panel 14 and the second door panel 16 can be quickly switched, so as to prevent the incubator 19 from being opened all the time during the process of taking out the culture dish, causing a large amount of outside air to enter the incubator 19, which can effectively prevent dust and bacteria carried in the air from entering the incubator 19, and reduce the possibility of the incubator 19 being contaminated; When the culture rack 36 needs to be put back into the incubator 19 to culture the cells to be cultured, the culture rack 36 is first put into the box body 12 in the same manner, and then the first door panel 14 is closed, and the second door panel 16 is opened so that the culture rack 36 can enter the incubator 19, and then the second door panel 16 is closed; When the culture rack 36 moves from the incubator 19 to the inside of the box 12, the contact 43 moves toward the direction close to the contact switch 50, but does not contact the contact switch 50. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 51 does not work. When the culture rack 36 moves from the inside of the incubator 19 to the inside of the box 12, the contact 43 is moved to one side of the contact switch 50 and contacts the contact switch 50. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 51 is turned on, that is, after the culture rack 36 leaves the inside of the incubator 19, the ultraviolet lamp 51 can disinfect and sterilize the inside of the incubator 19, which can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays from affecting the cells in the culture dish. When the culture rack 36 continues to move out of the box 12, the contact 43 pushes the contact switch 50 to move, and the contact switch 50 drives the moving block 49 to slide inside the guide rail 48. At the same time, the contact switch 50 drives the sliding rod 44 to slide on the second side plate 45. When the sliding rod 44 moves, it drives the limit plate 46 to move, and the first spring 47 is stretched, and the ultraviolet lamp 51 is still in the on state. When the culture rack 36 needs to enter the interior of the incubator 19 again, the electric push rod 37 drives the first connecting rod 38 to move away from the box 12, and the first connecting rod 38 drives the telescopic rod 41 to move through the second connecting rod 40, and the telescopic rod 41 drives the contact 43 to move, so that the culture rack 36 first enters the interior of the box 12. In this process, under the action of the first spring 47, the contact switch 50 can be driven to move toward the direction close to the contact 43 and contact the contact 43. That is, when the culture rack 36 moves from the outside of the box 12 to the inside of the box 12, the contact 43 43 is always in contact with the contact switch 50, and the ultraviolet lamp 51 is working. When the push rod 39 continues to move in the direction away from the box 12, so that the culture rack 36 enters the interior of the box 12 and moves toward the incubator 19, the telescopic rod 41 drives the contact 43 to move in the direction away from the contact switch 50, and the contact 43 is separated from the contact switch 50. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 51 does not work, which can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays from affecting the cells in the culture dish, and at the same time, the interior of the incubator 19 can be sterilized before the culture dish on the culture rack 36 enters the incubator 19; That is, when the culture rack 36 is inside the incubator 19, the ultraviolet lamp 51 does not work to prevent affecting the cells in the culture dish on the culture rack 36. When the culture rack 36 is moved out of the incubator 19, the ultraviolet lamp 51 starts to work to disinfect and sterilize the inside of the incubator 19 with high synchronization, which can provide a favorable environment for cell culture and is conducive to the normal progress of cell culture.
