[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 In this utility model, a circulating tumor cell in vitro culture medium filtration device includes a shell 1. A rotary motor 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the shell 1. A first bearing 10 is embedded in the inner bottom wall of the shell 1. A rotating rod 11 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the first bearing 10. The output end of the rotary motor 9 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 11 through the first bearing 10. A locking block 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating rod 11. A filter frame 14 is provided inside the shell 1. A slot 13 is opened on the bottom surface of the filter frame 14. The locking block 12 is located inside the slot 13. Symmetrical storage slots 19 are opened on the upper surface of the shell 1. Insert blocks 20 are slidably connected inside the two storage slots 19. A cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the two insert blocks 20. A second bearing 16 is embedded in the bottom surface of the cover plate 2. A synchronization component 15 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the second bearing 16. Both inserts 20 have a fixing component 6 inside. The inner wall of the outer shell 1 is fixedly connected to a support plate 22. The upper surface of the support plate 22 is slidably connected to a rotating plate 21. The inner wall of the rotating plate 21 is connected to the outer surface of the filter frame 14. Through the cooperation of the locking block 12 and the locking groove 13, the filter frame 14 can be flexibly separated from the rotary motor 9. The rotary motor 9 drives the filter frame 14 to rotate. Centrifugal force is used to separate the culture medium and impurities in the filter frame 14, so that the filtered culture medium flows into the interior of the outer shell 1, and the impurities flow into the filter frame 14. Through the cooperation of the receiving groove 19, the inserts 20 and the fixing component 6, the cover plate 2 can be fixed to the upper part of the outer shell 1, and the synchronization component 15 can limit the filter frame 14. Through the cooperation of the rotating plate 21 and the support plate 22, the installation height of the filter frame 14 can be ensured.

[0020] The bottom surface of the outer casing 1 is fixedly connected to symmetrical support legs 3, and the bottom surface of each support leg 3 is fixedly connected to an elastic seat 4. Through the cooperation of the support legs 3 and the elastic seat 4, the vibration during the operation of the device can be reduced, ensuring the stability of the device.

[0021] A drain pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer shell 1, and a valve 8 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the drain pipe 7. Through the cooperation of the drain pipe 7 and the valve 8, the culture medium filtered inside the outer shell 1 can be discharged to the outside, which improves the practicality of the device.

[0022] Both fixing components 6 include fastening bolts 601, and each of the two insert blocks 20 has a screw hole 602 on the side that is far apart from each other. The interior of the two screw holes 602 is threaded to the outer surface of the fastening bolt 601. By inserting the fastening bolt 601 through the movable port 5 into the screw hole 602, the insert block 20 can be fixed.

[0023] The outer surface of the housing 1 has symmetrical movable openings 5. The two fastening bolts 601 have their opposite sides passing through the movable openings 5 ​​and extending to the outside of the housing 1. By providing movable openings 5, space can be reserved for the fastening bolts 601 to facilitate installation.

[0024] The synchronization component 15 includes a turntable 151. The bottom surface of the turntable 151 has symmetrical positioning holes 152. Positioning posts 153 are slidably connected inside the two positioning holes 152. The bottom ends of the two positioning posts 153 are connected to the upper surface of the filter frame 14. As the turntable 151 moves with the cover plate 2, it contacts the top of the filter frame 14 and limits the position of the filter frame 14. The positioning posts 153 are inserted into the positioning holes 152, which facilitates the filter frame 14 to drive the turntable 151 to move.

[0025] The slot 13 is fixedly connected with symmetrical springs 17. The bottom ends of the two springs 17 are connected to a movable plate 18. The bottom surface of the movable plate 18 contacts the upper surface of the block 12. After the cover plate 2 is separated from the outer shell 1, the springs 17 use their own elasticity to drive the filter frame 14 to rise, so that the top of the filter frame 14 is higher than the outer shell 1, making it easier for the user to take out the filter frame 14.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: To install the filter frame 14, first engage the slot 13 at the bottom of the filter frame 14 with the locking block 12 at the top of the rotating rod 11. Then, insert the insert block 20 into the storage slot 19. Secure the cover plate 2 to the upper part of the outer shell 1 by passing the fastening bolt 601 through the movable opening 5 and screwing it into the screw hole 602. At this time, the positioning pin 153 is inserted into the positioning hole 152 to prevent the filter frame 14 from shaking or shifting, thus completing the installation of the filter frame 14.

[0027] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
