Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a multi-specification cell implantation system. Background Technology
[0002] In the prior art, an invention patent entitled "A Dispensing Device for Cell Factory Processing" with publication number CN113843103 A and publication date of December 28, 2021, is disclosed. It includes a dispensing positioning mechanism and a dispensing fixture for holding cell factory boards. The dispensing positioning mechanism includes a first reciprocating translation mechanism, a second reciprocating translation mechanism, a third reciprocating translation mechanism, a dispensing gun, and a control system. The dispensing fixture is located below one side of the dispensing positioning mechanism and includes a board receiving frame, a support, and a fourth reciprocating translation mechanism. During dispensing, the fourth reciprocating translation mechanism pushes the board receiving frame back below the dispensing gun. When a larger dispensing volume is needed, the dispensing time of the dispensing gun at each position is extended, which cannot guarantee dispensing efficiency. When a smaller dispensing volume is needed, the dispensing time of the dispensing gun at each position is reduced. Increasing or decreasing the dispensing volume requires adjusting the movement of each translation mechanism, making the operation relatively cumbersome. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0004] In view of the above and / or the dispensing problems in the prior art, the present invention is proposed.

Detailed Implementation
[0036] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0038] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment provides a multi-size cell planting system that can adjust the amount of adhesive dispensed to accommodate products of different sizes.
[0041] A multi-specification cell planting system includes a gel dispensing component 100, a cell dotting component 200, and a cell planting box 400 with a receiving cavity. Both the gel dispensing component 100 and the cell dotting component 200 are disposed in the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is also provided with a gel supply device 700 for supplying gel solution to the gel dispensing component 100 (which is prior art and not an improvement of this application, and will not be described in detail here).
[0042] Furthermore, the dispensing assembly 100 includes a dispensing bracket 105, on which a dispensing connector 116 is fixedly connected. The dispensing connector 116 is provided with at least two dispensing clamping modules 114 for clamping the dispensing module 115. A dispensing moving block 103 capable of reciprocating linear movement is connected to the dispensing bracket 105. A dispensing support 109 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the dispensing moving block 103. The dispensing module 115 has a dispensing connection portion 115c on one side opposite the dispensing moving block 103. A sliding connection portion 115c is provided on the dispensing support 109. A glue dispensing connection module 110 is provided for connecting the glue dispensing connection part 115c. The glue dispensing connection module 110 includes two clamping units 110d that can move towards or away from each other. The clamping units 110d have insertion slots i that can be inserted into the glue dispensing connection part 115c. When the two clamping units 110d move towards each other, the two clamping units 110d can be inserted into the two ends of the glue dispensing connection part 115c through the insertion slots i. When the two clamping units 110d move away from each other, the two clamping units 110d can move away from the glue dispensing connection part 115c at the same time.
[0043] The structure that enables the movement of the dispensing moving block 103 is as follows: one end of the dispensing bracket 105 is fixedly connected to a dispensing drive motor 106, and the other end of the dispensing bracket 105 is fixedly connected to a first rotating support seat 101. A dispensing output shaft is connected to the dispensing drive motor 106, and a second rotating support seat 104 is also fixedly connected to the dispensing bracket 105. The dispensing output shaft is connected to a dispensing drive screw 108 via a dispensing coupling 107. The two ends of the dispensing drive screw 108 are rotatably connected to the first rotating support seat 101 and the second rotating support seat 104, respectively. The dispensing moving block 103 is threadedly connected to the dispensing drive screw 108 and slidably connected to the dispensing bracket 105. Several fixing plates 102 are arranged on the lower side of the dispensing bracket 105. A fixing bracket 800 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cell planting box 400, and the fixing plates 102 are fixedly connected to the fixing bracket 800.
[0044] Furthermore, the dot cell assembly 200 includes a glue delivery connection bracket 210 that can move in the left-right, front-back and height directions. A glue delivery tube 209 is connected to the glue delivery connection bracket 210. The output end of the glue dispensing module 115 is connected to one end of the glue delivery tube 209, and the other end of the glue delivery tube 209 is connected to the dot cell needle 208.
[0045] The glue dispensing module 115 includes a glue dispensing cylinder 115a. A piston capable of reciprocating linearly along the inner wall of the glue dispensing cylinder 115a is connected inside the glue dispensing cylinder 115a. The space between the piston and the inner wall of the glue dispensing cylinder 115a is a closed cavity. A glue dispensing connecting rod 115b is provided on the side of the piston opposite to the glue dispensing connecting seat 116. A glue dispensing connecting part 115c is fixed to the end of the glue dispensing connecting rod 115b that extends out of the glue dispensing cylinder 115a. The end of the glue dispensing cylinder 115a away from the glue dispensing connecting seat is connected to the glue delivery pipe 209. The output end of the glue supply device 700 is connected to the output end of the glue dispensing cylinder 115a via a pipe (which is prior art and not shown). Select a suitable dispensing module 115 according to the specifications of the product to be dispensed, ensuring it meets the dispensing time requirements. Initially, the gap between the two clamping units 110d is greater than the maximum distance of the outer edge contour of the dispensing connection part 115c, meaning the two clamping units 110d are facing outwards from both ends of the dispensing connection part 115c, while simultaneously moving axially away from the dispensing module 115. The specific replacement process involves connecting the corresponding dispensing cylinder 115a to the adhesive delivery pipe 209, allowing the dispensing connection module 110 to slide horizontally along the dispensing support base 109. When the dispensing connection module 110 faces the corresponding dispensing connection part 115c, stop sliding the dispensing connection module 110, activate the dispensing drive motor 106, and rotate the dispensing output shaft. The dispensing output shaft drives the dispensing drive screw 108 to rotate via the dispensing coupling 107. The dispensing drive screw 108 drives the dispensing connection module 110 to move via the dispensing support seat 109, controlling the direction of the dispensing drive motor 106. This causes the dispensing connection module 110 to move towards the dispensing module 115. When the insertion slot i aligns with the dispensing connection part 115c, the dispensing drive motor 106 stops, and the two clamping units 110d move towards each other. When the two clamping units 110d are inserted into the dispensing connection part 115c via their corresponding insertion slot i, the two clamping units 110d stop moving, thus connecting the dispensing moving block 103 and the dispensing connection part 115c. During the dispensing operation, the dispensing drive motor 106 operates. The dispensing drive screw 108 rotates, driving the dispensing moving block 103 to slide along the length of the dispensing bracket 105. The dispensing moving block 103 drives the piston to move sequentially through the dispensing support 109, the dispensing connection module 110, and the dispensing connection part 115c. When drawing liquid, the direction of action of the dispensing drive motor 106 is controlled, causing the dispensing connection module 110 to move in the direction of the second rotating support 104. When dispensing glue, the dispensing drive motor 106 is reversed, causing the dispensing connection module 110 to move in the direction of the first rotating support 101, thereby realizing the extraction and dispensing of glue.
[0046] Before dispensing, adjust the position of the cell dispensing needle 208, controlling its upward movement to a suitable position above the top of the product. Adjust the left-right position of the cell dispensing needle 208 so that it moves towards the product mounting plate 303. When the cell dispensing needle 208 is aligned with the product, stop moving it and lower it to a suitable dispensing position. During dispensing, the glue dispensed from the glue dispensing cartridge 115a is discharged from the cell dispensing needle 208 through the glue delivery tube 209. The cell dispensing needle 208 is then aimed at the product. Adjust the front-back position of the cell dispensing needle 208 so that it dispenses along the product's axial direction. After the first dispensing operation is completed, adjust the position of the cell dispensing needle 208 so that it leaves the cell culture dish 308, preparing for the next dispensing operation.
[0047] Furthermore, the glue dispensing clamping module 114 includes a lower clamping seat 114b, with an upper clamping seat 114a detachably connected to the upper clamping seat 114b at its upward-facing end. The upper clamping seat 114a and the lower clamping seat 114b are respectively provided with a plurality of upper fastening holes and lower fastening holes. The upper clamping seat 114b is provided with an upper clamping groove on its upward-facing side, and the upper clamping seat 114a is provided with a lower clamping groove on its downward-facing side. When installing the glue dispensing module 115, the glue dispensing cylinder 115a is placed in the lower clamping groove, the upper clamping seat 114a is closed, and a plurality of clamping bolts are screwed into the upper fastening holes and the lower fastening holes in sequence, so that the glue dispensing cylinder 115a is clamped between the upper clamping seat 114a and the lower clamping seat 114b, thereby fixing the glue dispensing cylinder 115a.
[0048] To further enable the glue dispensing assembly 100 to dispense and dispense liquid, the output end of the glue dispensing module 115 is connected to one end of the first three-way pipe 113. The other two ends of the first three-way pipe 113 are respectively connected to the inlet one-way valve 112 and the outlet one-way valve 111. The end of the outlet one-way valve 111 away from the glue dispensing module 115 is connected to the end of the glue delivery pipe 209 away from the cell needle 208. The glue can be drawn into the glue dispensing module 115 through the inlet one-way valve 112, and the glue dispensing module 115 can pump the drawn glue into the glue delivery pipe 209 through the outlet one-way valve 111.
[0049] In this embodiment, before applying the adhesive, the corresponding first three-way pipe 113 and adhesive delivery pipe 209 are connected. When extracting the adhesive, the adhesive in the adhesive supply device 700 enters the closed cavity formed between the piston and the inner wall of the adhesive application cylinder 115a through the pipe and the inlet one-way valve 112. When applying the adhesive, the adhesive in the closed cavity is pumped into the adhesive delivery pipe 209 through the outlet one-way valve 111. By setting the adhesive application component 100, the adhesive application action of different adhesive application modules 115 can be realized. Different specifications of adhesive application modules 115 have different adhesive application amounts when the moving block 103 moves at the same speed. According to the size of the cell culture dish 308, the moving block 103 and the adhesive application connection part 115c of the appropriate adhesive application module 115 are connected. Cell planting of cell culture dishes 308 of different sizes can be realized without replacing the entire equipment, reducing costs.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a multi-size cell planting system, which is based on the previous embodiment and can further achieve omnidirectional dispensing.
[0052] Specifically, it also includes a product connection assembly 300, which includes a rotatable connection box 301 with a mounting cavity. An angle adjustment shaft 304 is rotatably connected inside the connection box 301. One end of the angle adjustment shaft 304 extending out of the connection box 301 is fixedly connected to a product mounting plate 303. Several cell culture dishes 308 are arranged on the product mounting plate 303, and cell dispensing needles 208 can extend into the cell culture dishes 308.
[0053] To achieve omnidirectional dispensing, a drive assembly 500 for driving the connecting box 301 to rotate is also included. The drive assembly 500 includes a drive motor 505 disposed outside the receiving cavity and fixed on the cell planting box 400. A connecting shaft 504 is rotatably connected to the planting box 400. The upper part of the connecting shaft 504 is connected to the connecting box 301. The drive motor 505 and the connecting shaft 504 are connected in a transmission connection. Specifically, the end of the connecting shaft 504 extending outside the receiving cavity is connected to a first rotating wheel 503, and a second rotating wheel 503 is connected to the drive motor 505. 01. The first rotating wheel 503 is connected to the second rotating wheel 501 via the third transmission belt 502; an angle adjusting motor 302 is fixedly connected inside the connecting box 301. The angle adjusting motor 302 and the angle adjusting shaft 304 are connected by a transmission. Specifically, the angle adjusting motor 302 is connected to the first angle adjusting rotating wheel 307, and one end of the angle adjusting shaft 304 inside the connecting box 301 is connected to the second angle adjusting rotating wheel 305. The first angle adjusting rotating wheel 307 is connected to the second angle adjusting rotating wheel 305 via the fourth transmission belt 306.
[0054] In the initial stage, the connection box 301 is located behind the product mounting plate 303, and the cell culture dish 308 is positioned relative to the cell assembly 200, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the product mounting plate 303 is in a vertical position. Taking cell seeding on a cylindrical flexible scaffold 600 as an example, the flexible scaffold 600 is installed in a cell culture dish 308. The position of the cell dispensing needle 208 is adjusted so that it is aligned with the top of the flexible scaffold 600. At this position, the dispensing is completed, and the cell dispensing needle 208 moves away from the cell culture dish 308. The connecting box 301 rotates to the front, and the product mounting plate 303 rotates to the rear. At this time, the cell culture dish 308 is facing away from the cell dispensing component 200. The product mounting plate 303 is rotated 180° so that the cell culture dish 308 is facing the cell dispensing component 200. At the same time, the original bottom end of the flexible scaffold 600 is flipped upwards, becoming the top end of the flexible scaffold 600. The position of the cell dispensing needle 208 is adjusted so that it is aligned with the top end of the flexible scaffold 600, thereby achieving omnidirectional dispensing of the flexible scaffold 600.
[0055] When the angle of the connecting box 301 needs to be adjusted, the drive motor 505 is activated, the second rotating wheel 501 rotates, the second rotating wheel 501 drives the first rotating wheel 503 to rotate via the third transmission belt 502, and the first rotating wheel 503 drives the connecting box 301 to rotate via the connecting shaft 504. When the connecting box 301 rotates to the appropriate angle, the drive motor 505 stops. When the angle of the product mounting plate 303 needs to be adjusted, the angle adjustment motor 302 is activated, the first angle adjustment rotating wheel 307 rotates, the first angle adjustment rotating wheel 307 drives the second angle adjustment rotating wheel 305 to rotate via the fourth transmission belt 306, and the second angle adjustment rotating wheel 305 drives the product mounting plate 303 to rotate via the angle adjustment shaft 304. When the cell culture dish 308 rotates to the appropriate angle, the angle adjustment motor 302 stops.
[0056] Example 3
[0057] Reference Figures 6-9 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 This embodiment provides a multi-specification cell planting system. Based on the previous two embodiments, this embodiment can further realize the replacement of different specifications of glue dispensing modules 115.
[0058] Specifically, the dispensing connection module 110 includes a connecting transmission component 110c and a sliding connecting block 110b that can slide along the dispensing support base 109. The sliding connecting block 110b has a screw hole and a sliding support hole offset from the screw hole. The axes of the sliding support hole and the screw hole are perpendicular to each other. The sliding connecting block 110b is threadedly connected to a sliding connecting component 110e via the sliding support hole. A ball bearing 110f is movably connected inside the sliding connecting rod. A support groove g is provided on the upward-facing side of the dispensing support base 109.

The upper end of the upper slot c has a limiting groove on the sliding connecting block 110b. The slide rod 110c-2 can move up and down along the limiting groove. The clamping unit 110d moves relative to the sliding... One side of the connecting block 110b is fixed with a movable connecting part 110d-3 that can slide along the sliding groove b. One end of each movable connecting part 110d-3 is connected to a compression spring 110g. Under the action of the compression spring 110g, one end of each movable connecting part 110d-3 is always in contact with both sides of the transmission block 110c-1. The end of the compression spring 110g away from the movable connecting part 110d-3 is connected to the sliding connecting block 110b at the outer edge of the sliding groove b.
[0059] When the position of the sliding connecting block 110b is adjusted, the screw is screwed into the screw hole and the connecting hole d to fix the sliding connecting block 110b to the glue dispensing support 109, thereby fixing the sliding connecting block 110b; in order to facilitate the screwing in, a handle 110a is fixedly connected to the outer end of the screw.
[0060] Furthermore, the upper end of the transmission block 110c-1 can abut against the limiting step 110b-1 at the upper end of the upper slot c, and the bottom of the transmission block 110c-1 can contact the sliding connecting block 110b at the bottom of the lower slot a; when the transmission block 110c-1 is pulled up so that its upper end abuts against the lower side of the limiting step 110b-1, the two clamping units 110d are inserted into the glue-applying connecting part 115c; when the transmission block 110c-1 is pressed down so that its bottom contacts the sliding connecting block 110b at the bottom of the lower slot a, the two clamping units 110d move away from the glue-applying connecting part 115c.
[0061] Furthermore, the clamping unit 110d includes a first clamping plate 110d-1 slidably connected to it, a second clamping plate 110d-2 connected to the side of the first clamping plate 110d-1 away from the sliding connecting block 110b, a movable connecting part 110d-3 fixed to the end of the first clamping plate 110d-1 away from the second clamping plate 110d-2, and an insertion groove i is opened on the side of the first clamping plate 110d-1 and the second clamping plate 110d-2 that are opposite to each other.
[0062] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the movable connecting part 110d-3 are respectively provided with sliding grooves f, and the sliding connecting blocks 110b on both sides of the sliding grooves f are provided with slide rails 110b-2. The movable connecting part 110d-3 is slidably connected to the slide rails 110b-2 through the sliding grooves f. Under the action of the sliding grooves f and the slide rails 110b-2, the movable connecting part 110d-3 cannot move up and down or back and forth, and can only move left and right.
[0063] In actual implementation, limiting holes can be opened at the upper and lower parts of the sliding connecting block 110b, and upper positioning holes h can be opened on the slide rod 110c-2 (e.g., Figure 16 As shown), a lower positioning hole is provided on the transmission block 110c-1, so that when the upper end of the transmission block 110c-1 abuts against the limiting step 110b-1, the upper positioning hole h and the upper limiting hole are coaxial; when the bottom of the transmission block 110c-1 contacts the sliding connecting block 110b at the bottom of the lower slot a, the lower limiting hole and the lower positioning hole are coaxial; the inner edge of the movable connecting part 110d-3 is preferably set as semi-circular. In the initial state, the inner edges of the two oppositely arranged movable connecting parts 110d-3 abut against the inclined surfaces on both sides of the transmission block 110c-1 under the action of the compression spring 110g, and the sliding connecting block 110b at the bottom of the lower slot a of the transmission block 110c-1 contacts. A positioning pin is used to pass through the lower limiting hole and the lower positioning hole, so that... The position of the connecting transmission component 110c in the height direction is fixed. When the sliding rod 110c-2 is pulled up, the transmission block 110c-1 moves upward, and the moving connecting part 110d-3 moves in the direction of the inclined surface under the elastic force of the compression spring 110g. The moving connecting part 110d-3 can always abut against the transmission block 110c-1. The moving connecting part 110d-3 drives the first clamping plate 110d-1 to slide in the direction of the center of the connecting transmission component 110c in the left and right directions. When the clamping unit 110d clamps the glue dispensing connecting part and the upper end of the transmission block 110c-1 contacts the lower side of the limiting step 110b-1, the positioning pin passes through the upper limiting hole and the upper positioning hole h to fix the position of the connecting transmission component 110c in the height direction.
[0064] The configuration of each hole is based on existing technology. Limiting holes, lower positioning holes, etc., are not shown in this application, but they do not affect the understanding of the connection structure by those skilled in the art.
[0065] This embodiment facilitates the connection between the dispensing moving block 103 and the dispensing connecting part, and makes it more convenient to replace the dispensing module 115 of different specifications.

A lifting transmission motor 220 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the lower transmission box 205. A lifting drive wheel 221 is rotatably connected inside the lower transmission box 205. The lifting transmission motor 220 and the lifting drive wheel 221 are connected. A fixed housing 206 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the lower transmission box 205. A lifting transmission screw 213 is rotatably connected inside the fixed housing 206. The lifting transmission screw 213 extends into... One end of the lower transmission box 205 is connected to a lifting driven wheel 219, and the lifting driving wheel 221 is connected to the lifting driven wheel 219 via a first transmission belt; a lifting block 212 on a slidingly connected fixed housing 206 is threaded onto the lifting transmission screw 213, and a lifting beam 207 is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting block 212 extending out of the fixed housing 206; a side transmission box 204 is fixedly connected to the end of the lifting beam 207, and a drive wheel 217 and a transmission wheel 21 are rotatably connected inside the side transmission box 204. 6.

One end of the first moving block 214 extending out of the lifting beam 207 is fixedly connected to a point cell connection bracket 203. A horizontal beam 202 is fixedly connected to the point cell connection bracket 203. The length direction of the horizontal beam 202 is perpendicular to the length direction of the lifting beam 207. A second moving motor is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal beam 202 near the fixed housing 206. A second horizontal transmission screw 201 is connected to the second moving motor. A second moving block 211 is threadedly connected to the second horizontal transmission screw 201 and slidably connected to the horizontal beam 202. A glue dispensing conveyor bracket is fixedly connected to the second moving block 211.
[0069] When the position of the dispensing conveyor bracket in the height direction needs to be adjusted, the lifting drive motor 220 is activated, and the lifting drive wheel 221 rotates. The lifting drive wheel 221 drives the lifting driven wheel 219 to rotate via the first transmission belt. The lifting driven wheel 219 drives the lifting drive screw 213 to rotate. The lifting drive screw 213 drives the cell delivery bracket to move via the lifting block 212, the lifting beam 207, and the cell-point connection bracket 203 in sequence. When the cell-point needle 208 is raised or lowered to the required position, the lifting drive motor 220 stops. When the position of the cell-point needle 208 in the left or right direction needs to be adjusted, the first moving motor 218 is activated, and the drive wheel 217 rotates. The drive wheel 217 drives the transmission wheel 216 to rotate via the second transmission belt. The transmission wheel 216 drives the first horizontal transmission... When the lead screw 215 rotates, the first horizontal transmission lead screw 215 drives the first moving block 214 to move. The first moving block 214 drives the cell delivery support to move along the length of the lifting beam 207. When the cell delivery support moves to the appropriate position, the first moving motor 218 stops. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the cell delivery needle 208 in the front-back direction, the second moving motor operates, the second horizontal transmission lead screw 201 rotates, and the second horizontal transmission lead screw 201 drives the second moving block 211 to move along the length of the horizontal beam 202. When the second moving block 211 drives the dispensing delivery support to move back and forth to the required position, the second moving motor stops. By adjusting the position of the cell delivery needle 208, dispensing of products such as the flexible scaffold 600 is achieved.
