Replenishment is only required when the stored cell culture flasks are depleted, minimizing the risk of equipment malfunction due to a lack of flasks and facilitating the smooth operation of cell culture work.

[0057] 4. The cell culture flasks are positioned by symmetrically arranged bottle clamping fixtures, which restrict the horizontal movement of the cell culture flasks and achieve stable movement of the cell culture flasks on the flexible chain conveyor belt.

[0058] 5. By setting a first photoelectric switch, the height of stacked cell culture flasks can be monitored. If the cell culture flasks are stacked too high, there is a risk of them tipping over during transport. When the first photoelectric switch detects that a cell culture flask is blocking the flow, it sends an electrical signal to the consumables transmission control box. The control panel of the consumables transmission control box displays an alarm, reminding the staff to pay attention to the stacking height and ensuring the safety of the device during use. By setting a second photoelectric switch, the usage status of cell culture flasks at the outlet can be monitored. When the cell culture flasks on the bottle-holding plate chain module at the outlet are exhausted, the second photoelectric switch can no longer detect any obstruction. The consumables transmission control box controls the flexible chain conveyor to rotate, moving the next set of bottle-holding plate chain modules with cell culture flasks to the outlet. When a cell culture flask blocks the second photoelectric switch, the operation stops, realizing the automatic supply function of cell culture flasks.

[0059] 6. This invention connects a robotic arm connecting plate to the end of an external robotic arm and sets up a suction component and a clamping component inside a protective shell. By symmetrically setting clamping notches on the tray, the clamping component can achieve the function of gripping the tray. By setting up the suction component, cell culture flasks can be sucked up and stacked on the tray, realizing the automated operation of cell culture box tray gripping and culture flask stacking, reducing the labor intensity of workers, improving the automation level of cell culture work, and facilitating the smooth progress of cell culture work. By setting up a vacuum pressure switch, it can determine whether the suction cup has sucked up the cell culture flask. When the air pressure in the hose is negative, it means that the suction cup has successfully sucked up the cell culture flask. The vacuum pressure switch is activated and transmits an electrical signal to the external assembly electrical control cabinet. The external assembly electrical control cabinet controls the robotic arm to perform the next action. By setting up a vacuum pressure switch, it can avoid repeated actions after the suction component fails to suck up, and it can also avoid the situation where the suction cup is deviated from its position and the cell culture flask does not fully contact the cell culture flask, causing the cell culture flask to fall off.

[0060] 7. By setting up an industrial camera, the clamping notch of the tray can be visually positioned when the clamping component is working, and the cell culture flask can be positioned when the suction component is working, reducing the risk of failure to clamp the tray or fail to suction the cell culture flask due to misalignment of the clamping and suction components.

[0061] 8. By setting up a lifting swing arm assembly, cell culture flasks can be picked up from the consumables transfer device and redirected. The set transfer component can transport the cell culture flasks picked up by the lifting swing arm assembly to the designated position, realizing the automatic feeding function of cell culture flasks, improving the automation level of cell culture equipment, reducing the labor intensity of workers, improving the efficiency of cell culture work, and facilitating the smooth progress of cell culture work. By setting up the cooperation between the spline screw, ball screw nut, and ball spline nut, the rotation and lifting action of the spline screw can be stably realized. The structure is simple and the action principle is clear, enabling the spline screw to control the flask picking assembly to achieve different angles and heights.

[0062] 9. By setting longitudinal reset switches and axial reset switches, the lifting and rotating structure can be automatically reset after being powered on, so that the bottle picking structure can accurately place the cell culture bottle on the transmission component every time, thereby improving the repeatability accuracy of the bottle picking component.

[0063] 10. The present invention includes a disinfection spray cabinet, which, in conjunction with an external robotic arm, enables automatic disinfection of cell culture flasks. The external robotic arm places the cell culture flasks into the disinfection spray cabinet using a suction cup, and a diaphragm pump draws alcohol from the disinfectant storage mechanism and sprays it out from the nozzle, thereby improving the efficiency of cell culture flask disinfection and reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0064] 11. By setting the nozzles diagonally, the coverage area of ​​the alcohol spray can be increased, making the disinfection of cell culture flasks more thorough and ensuring the safe use of cell culture flasks during the cell culture process.

[0065] 12. By setting up the lower microscope assembly, the cultured cells can be inspected. Through the cooperation of the telescopic platform with the incubator tray gripper and culture flask stacking device, the cell culture flasks can be automatically placed and picked up. The growth of adherent cells can be inspected through the microscope. When the adherent cells in any four cell culture flasks on a tray reach more than 90%, it indicates that the cell culture work is completed. If the adherent cells do not reach 90%, the incubator tray gripper and culture flask stacking device will put the cell culture flasks back on the tray, and then put the tray into the automatic cell culture chamber for continued culture.

[0066] 13. By setting up an automatic cell culture chamber, the automatic opening and closing of the chamber door can be realized. The automation level of the coordination with the chamber tray gripping and culture bottle stacking device is improved. There is no need for manual operation of opening and closing the automatic cell culture chamber door, which improves the efficiency of cell culture and facilitates the smooth progress of cell culture work.

[0067] 14. By installing an automatic feeding system, a left-side central control cabinet, and an alcohol tank below the left-side workbench, automatic feeding of culture medium and supply of raw materials for the alcohol cleaning components can be achieved. The set adherent cell shaking component can place cell culture flasks, facilitating the addition of culture medium or physiological saline to the cell culture flasks in the early stages of cell culture. In the later stages of cell culture, it can facilitate the detachment of adherent cells, making cell harvesting easier. By setting a left-side transfer chamber component, a tip head consumable rack, a left-side needle removal rack, and multiple straight-mouth bottle placement racks on the left-side workbench, it is easy for the left-side sample loading three-axis robotic arm to place specific consumables in designated positions, facilitating the placement and use of the left-side sample loading three-axis robotic arm.

[0068] 15. A feeding conveyor line, a return conveyor line, a bottle feeding device, and a bottle pushing device are installed below the left worktable to realize the circulation of straight-necked bottles. The required straight-necked bottles can be identified by a barcode scanning device, and the required straight-necked bottles can be pushed to the upper surface of the left worktable by a lifting device. The straight-necked bottles can be transferred to the required process by the left-side sample loading three-axis robotic arm set above the worktable, thereby completing the automated feeding of culture medium for cell culture equipment. This eliminates the influence of human factors on the cell culture process, reduces the labor intensity of workers, improves the working efficiency of cell culture equipment, and avoids the situation where the equipment stops operating due to insufficient consumables, thus ensuring high-quality and high-efficiency cell culture.

[0069] 16. By installing a bottle-blocking mechanism at the output end of the feeding conveyor line, the bottle-blocking plate is driven to move up and down by the bottle-blocking electric push rod, thereby blocking the straight-neck bottles on the feeding conveyor line. When there is a straight-neck bottle at the bottle feeding device, the bottle-blocking mechanism falls down to block the subsequent straight-neck bottles on the feeding conveyor line, ensuring that the bottle feeding mechanism pushes only one straight-neck bottle each time.

[0070] 17. The rotating motor drives the bottle-clamping and shaking component on the circular turntable to rotate. While rotating, the bottle-clamping and shaking component shakes the culture bottle to a certain extent, thus simulating the process of manually shaking the culture bottle. When culturing a large number of cells, it can reduce the labor intensity of the staff and improve work efficiency. At the same time, this device can be used to detach adherent cells and strictly control the shaking force and shaking time of the culture bottle, which is conducive to the smooth progress of cell culture.

[0071] 18. Through the coordinated action of the first and second servo motors, the artificial shaking of the culture flask can be better simulated, resulting in more complete detachment of adherent cells and facilitating the smooth progress of the adherent cell detachment process. By using silicone heating pads to heat the left and right clamps and by setting up PT100 patch-type temperature control probes to detect the temperature of the left and right clamps, the specially designed clamps are kept at the most suitable temperature for adherent cell detachment, which can accelerate the progress of adherent cell detachment and facilitate the smooth progress of cell culture.

[0072] 19. By setting up a left-side sample loading three-axis robotic arm, the degree of automation and coordination of various devices in the left-side assembly can be enhanced. The left-side sample loading three-axis robotic arm replaces repetitive, complex and precise manual operations, reducing the labor intensity of staff and improving the efficiency of cell culture.

[0073] 20. By setting a central robot arm on the upper surface of the central workbench, some devices of the internal assembly can be operated. By setting a culture flask conveying device, cell culture flasks outside the workroom can be transported into the workroom. The central robot arm can transfer cell culture flasks to the required positions. By setting a centrifuge tube turntable assembly, the placement and counterweighting of centrifuge tubes can be facilitated.

[0074] 21. In this invention, the culture flask conveying device is configured as a three-layer structure consisting of a conveying base plate, a conveying middle plate, and a conveying top plate, which enables the culture flask conveying device to double its length, facilitating the transfer of cell culture flasks inside and outside the working chamber.

[0075] 22. The centrifuge tube turntable assembly of the present invention can fix centrifuge tubes of different specifications. Through the rotation of the centrifuge turntable motor, it has four different clamping positions to cooperate with the central robot arm. At the same time, the centrifuge electric gripper drives the double-moving gripper to position the centrifuge tube and prevent the centrifuge tube from tipping over due to vibration caused by the operation of the equipment.

[0076] 23. By setting up a multi-functional consumable rack, various sizes of consumables such as tip heads, centrifuge tubes, and cell counting plates required for cell culture can be placed in a centralized manner, making it convenient for the right-side sample loading triaxial rack to retrieve and use.

[0077] 24. The present invention provides a multi-functional gripping device at the end of the intermediate robotic arm. The gripper extension includes a gripper connecting part, a first gripping part, a second gripping part, a third gripping part, and a fourth gripping part. By providing four gripping parts, the multi-functional gripping device can meet the needs of picking up and transferring cell culture flasks, centrifuge tube adapters, and centrifuge tubes of different specifications, thereby improving the functionality of the intermediate robotic arm and making the transfer efficiency of consumables higher. Most consumable picking tasks can be completed by the intermediate robotic arm.

[0078] 25. By installing a centrifuge at the bottom of the right workbench, which works in conjunction with the central robotic arm, the centrifugation process during cell culture can be automated. By installing a fluorescence counter at the top of the right workbench, the cell counting process can be automated.

[0079] 26. The right-side sample loading three-axis robotic arm in this invention includes a right-side Y-axis motion mechanism and a second Y-axis motion mechanism, which can realize double the distance movement of the right-side sample loading three-axis robotic arm in the Y-axis direction, greatly increasing the coverage area of ​​the right-side sample loading three-axis robotic arm and saving the space inside the working chamber. While solving the space problem, it improves the operating efficiency and is conducive to the smooth progress of cell culture work. Attached Figure Description

The second photoelectric switch 6007 cooperates with the cap of the cell culture flask. Both the first photoelectric switch 6006 and the second photoelectric switch 6007 are electrically connected to the consumables transfer control box 6004. The first photoelectric switch 6006 can monitor the height of the stacked cell culture flasks. If the cell culture flasks are stacked too high, there is a risk of them tipping over during the transfer process. When the first photoelectric switch 6006 detects that the flasks are blocked by cell culture flasks, the first photoelectric switch 6006 sends a signal to the consumables transfer control box 6004. The consumables transmission control box 6004 transmits an electrical signal, and the control panel 6012 displays an alarm, reminding staff to pay attention to the stacking height. The consumables transmission control box 6004 locks the current position of the flexible chain conveyor belt until the first photoelectric switch 6006 no longer detects cell culture flasks. Then, the alarm on the control panel 6012 and the lock on the flexible chain conveyor belt are released. When the second photoelectric switch 6007 no longer detects any obstructing objects, it indicates that the cell culture flasks on the current bottle-holding plate chain module 6008 have been used up. The controller then controls the DC motor to drive the flexible chain conveyor belt to rotate. When the cap of the next cell culture flask on the next bottle-holding plate chain module 6008 obstructs the second photoelectric sensor, the controller controls the DC motor to stop rotating.

[0144] The conveyor belt assembly 6002 is connected to the frame 6001 via a conveyor belt support structure.

The lower end of the heightening support frame 6019 is connected to the horizontal support plate 6015, and the upper end of the heightening support frame 6019 is connected to the conveyor belt assembly 6002.

[0145] The working principle of the consumables transfer device 6 is as follows: When the cell culture flasks in the consumables transfer device 6 are used up and need to be replenished, the automatic door is opened by controlling the control panel, and the cell culture flasks are stacked on the bottle-holding plate chain module 6008 at the entrance 6009. After being stacked to a certain height, the flexible chain conveyor belt is rotated by controlling the operation panel 6012 to rotate the distance of one bottle-holding plate chain module 6008, and the addition continues. The above operation is repeated until the second photoelectric switch 6007 detects the cell culture flasks, and the automatic door is closed by controlling the operation panel 6012, thus completing the cell culture flask addition.

[0146] During use, the consumables transfer device 6 takes cell culture flasks from outlet 6010. When the cell culture flasks on the plate chain module 6008 at outlet 6010 are empty, the second photoelectric switch 6007 does not detect any obstructing objects. The consumables transfer control box 6004 controls the flexible chain conveyor belt to rotate. When a cell culture flask obstructs the second photoelectric switch 6007, the belt stops. After the flexible chain conveyor belt has rotated one revolution and the second photoelectric switch 6007 does not detect any cell culture flasks, the consumables transfer control box 6004 controls the operation panel 6012 to send a message that cell culture flasks need to be replenished. The operator then adds cell culture flasks 15.

[0157] The feeding and reversing device 8 works in conjunction with the consumables conveying device. The working principle of the feeding and reversing device 8 is as follows: When feeding is required, the lifting motor 8006 activates, raising the suction head 8024 platform to its highest position. The rotary motor 8005 rotates the suction cup platform 8022 by a certain angle, positioning it directly above the cell culture flask at the outlet of the consumables conveying device. The lifting motor 8006 then moves the suction cup platform 8022 downwards. Simultaneously, the vacuum diaphragm pump 8018 operates. When the three suction heads 8024 contact the upper surface of the cell culture flask, a negative pressure is generated inside the suction head 8024, firmly adsorbing the cell culture flask. The negative pressure sensor 8010 detects the negative pressure inside the suction head 8024 and sends an electrical signal to the feeding controller 8028. The feeding controller 8028 then controls the lifting motor 8006 to stop rotating and subsequently controls it to rotate in the opposite direction. The suction cup platform 8022 is moved upwards. After reaching its highest point, the loading controller 8028 controls the lifting motor 8006 to stop, and the rotary motor 8005 starts to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotary motor 8005 drives the suction cup platform 8022 to rotate towards the transfer component 8001. When the suction cup platform 8022 is about to return to its initial position, the loading controller 8028 controls the stepper motor 8012 to rotate at a certain angle, adjusting the axis of the cell culture flask to be parallel to the axis of the transfer component 8001. Then, the lifting motor 8006 drives the suction cup platform 8022 to descend, placing the cell culture flask on the transfer component 8001. Subsequently, the lifting arm assembly returns to its initial position and waits. Then, the transfer component 8001 moves to transport the cell culture flask to the left. When the photoelectric switch is activated to block the cell culture flask, the transfer component 8001 stops, waiting for the subsequent process to remove the culture flask. At this point, the loading, turning, and conveying process of one cell culture flask is completed.
