Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to a cell fluid storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of biomedicine, cell bags are commonly used as containers for storing cell fluid. However, current mainstream cell bag products have low volume utilization when used in confined spaces, making them unsuitable for applications requiring higher capacity within limited spaces.
[0003] Cell bags are disposable and must be discarded after use. For detecting the presence of cell fluid in cell bags, the test strip method is a simple and commonly used approach. The test strip uses a chemical fluorescent dye or indicator that changes color based on changes in specific components or properties of the cell fluid. By observing the color change of the test strip, a preliminary determination of the presence of cell fluid can be made. However, the test strip method has the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1. Universality issue: Chemical fluorescent dyes or indicators can only target a specific type of cell sap and cannot meet the needs of determining all cell sap types;
[0005] 2. Storage time issue: If there is no liquid in the cell bag for the test strip to detect, the test strip cannot provide accurate results, which may lead to incorrect judgment;
[0006] 3. Contamination issues: When the test strip comes into contact with the cell bag, external contaminants may be introduced, affecting subsequent experiments or applications. Summary of the Invention

A first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal are fixedly connected to the front side wall of the box. The first terminal and the second terminal both extend vertically upward through the mouthpiece and abut against the two conductive PC films respectively. An irreversible electrochromic label is connected in series between the second terminal and the third terminal. A bipolar plate is provided on the front side wall of the box.

[0013] Optionally, the irreversible electrochromic label includes a transparent sheath, a graphene layer fitted inside the transparent sheath, a polydiyne color-changing layer coated on the upper surface of the graphene layer, and two first terminals fixedly penetrating the transparent sheath and electrically connected to the graphene layer; the two first terminals are respectively movably plugged into the terminal block of the second terminal and the third terminal.
[0014] Optionally, a second terminal and a third terminal are fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the bipolar plate. The second terminal is movably inserted into the terminal block, and the end of the third terminal away from the first terminal is movably inserted into the third terminal.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This invention provides a cell fluid storage device, including a box body 100, a lid 200 adapted to the box body 100, and two foldable cell bags 300 disposed inside the box body 100. The lower surface of the lid 200 has an integrally formed lid edge 203. Through an interference fit between the outer wall of the lid edge 203 and the inner wall of the box body 100, the box body 100 and the lid 200 can be stably connected as a whole, achieving closed storage of the two cell bags 300 and ensuring the integrity of the cell bags 300.
[0031] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the top of the cell bag 300 is fixedly connected to a spout 301. Both the cell bag 300 and the spout 301 are made of EVA material, and the cell bag 300 is bonded to the spout 301 as a whole by a high-frequency heat sealing process. A slot 101 is provided on the upper surface of the front side wall of the box body 100, and a card plate 201 that matches the slot 101 is integrally formed on the lower surface of the box cover 200. The card plate 201 has a second arc-shaped groove 202 that matches the top outer edge of the spout 301. A first arc-shaped groove 102 is provided on the front side wall of the box body 100 below the second arc-shaped groove 202. The space enclosed by the first arc-shaped groove 102 and the second arc-shaped groove 202 accommodates the spout 301 to extend out of the box body 100.
[0032] Please see Figure 3 The cell bag 300 has a folding line 304 on its width-direction sidewall, with both ends of the folding line 304 extending horizontally to the top and bottom of the cell bag 300, respectively. The cell bag 300 is bonded to the bag mouth 301 as a single unit using a high-frequency heat sealing process. The cell bag 300 is manufactured using the following steps: First, a cuboid fixture is placed on the EVA film, and the long and short sides of the EVA film are folded to fit against the outer surface of the cuboid fixture. Next, the folded edges are heat-sealed using a radio frequency heat sealing process. After heat sealing, the fixture is removed, and then the excess heat-sealed edges are trimmed. Finally, the above steps are repeated to heat seal all four sides in sequence, forming an open cuboid-shaped cell bag 300.
[0033] Before the radio frequency (RF) heat sealing process, the EVA membrane in the width direction of the cell bag has five fold lines 304. These five fold lines 304 give the EVA membrane a six-layer continuous fold structure in the width direction of the cell bag. During the RF heat sealing process, the first and second layers of the EVA membrane need to be welded together, as well as the fifth and sixth layers. After RF heat sealing, the cross-section of the EVA membrane becomes W-shaped. When the cell bag 300 is filled with liquid, the EVA membrane can expand and unfold near the third and fourth layers.
[0034] This invention uses a flexible fold 304 to compress two cell bags 300 within the box 100. The space enclosed by the box 100 and the lid 200 allows one cell bag 300 to expand to its maximum size, while the other cell bag 300 remains unexpanded. When one cell bag 300 is full of cell solution, cell solution can be poured into the other cell bag 300. During the filling process, the other cell bag 300 expands and compresses the already filled cell bag 300, forcing it to automatically discharge the cell solution, thus achieving cell solution transfer. This effectively utilizes the space of the enclosed box 100, achieving maximum liquid capacity and high space utilization.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, two conductive PC films 302 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bag opening 301, and a first terminal 400, a second terminal 500, and a third terminal 600 are fixedly connected to the front side wall of the box body 100. The first terminal 400 and the second terminal 500 both penetrate vertically upward through the bag opening 301 and abut against the two conductive PC films 302 respectively. An irreversible electrochromic label 700 is connected in series between the second terminal 500 and the third terminal 600. A bipolar plate 800 is provided on the front side wall of the box body 100, and a battery 900, which is a lithium battery, is fixedly connected to the front side wall of the bipolar plate 800 by bolts. The first terminal 400, the battery 900, and the third terminal 600 are connected in series in sequence.
[0036] During the filling of cell bag 300 with cell solution, the cell solution flows through two conductive PC membranes 302. Because the cell solution is conductive, the first terminal 400, the cell solution, the second terminal 500, the irreversible electrochromic label 700, the third terminal 600, and the battery 900 form a series circuit. The irreversible electrochromic label 700 changes color under the influence of current. Operators can determine whether the cell bag 300 has been filled with cell solution based on the color change of the irreversible electrochromic label 700, avoiding the reuse of the cell bag 300. Compared to the conventional test strip method for detecting whether the cell bag 300 has been filled with cell solution, the irreversible electrochromic label 700 is effective for a long time, and because neither the first terminal 400 nor the second terminal 500 comes into contact with the cell solution, contamination of the cell solution can be avoided.
[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the first terminal 400 and the second terminal 500 in this embodiment have the same structure. The first terminal 400 includes a wiring plate 401 fixedly connected to the front side wall of the housing 100, an arc-shaped conductive sheet 402 fixedly disposed in the first arc-shaped groove 102 and matching the bottom outer edge of the mouthpiece 301, and a conductive post 403 fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the arc-shaped conductive sheet 402; a positioning hole 303 is provided on the bottom outer edge of the mouthpiece 301, which runs vertically through and matches the conductive post 403. The present invention constrains the position of the mouthpiece 301 by inserting the conductive post 403 into the positioning hole 303, preventing the mouthpiece 301 from moving forward or backward during the filling process and improving filling stability.
[0038] Please see Figure 6 The irreversible electrochromic label 700 includes a transparent sheath 702, a graphene layer 703 fitted inside the transparent sheath 702, a polydiyne color-changing layer 704 coated on the upper surface of the graphene layer 703, and two first terminals 701 fixedly penetrating the transparent sheath 702 and electrically connected to the graphene layer 703. The polydiyne color-changing layer 704 can respond to currents up to 250mA. When the current flowing through the polydiyne color-changing layer 704 reaches 250mA, the polydiyne color-changing layer 704 changes color; when the current is disconnected, the polydiyne color-changing layer 704 retains its color. The two first terminals 701 are movably connected to the terminal block 401 of the second terminal 500 and the third terminal 600, respectively, allowing the irreversible electrochromic label 700 to be detached from the second terminal 500 and the third terminal 600 for easy replacement. In this invention, except for the cell bag 300, bag mouth 301, conductive PC film 302, and irreversible electrochromic label 700 which are not reusable, the rest can be reused, resulting in low cost.
[0039] Please see Figure 7A second terminal 801 and a third terminal 802 are fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the bipolar plate 800. The second terminal 801 is movably inserted into the terminal block 401, and the end of the third terminal 600 away from the first terminal 701 is movably inserted into the third terminal 802. The bipolar plate 800 can be detachably and fixedly installed on the housing 100 through the movable insertion of the second terminal 801 and the third terminal 802 into the terminal block 401, making assembly simple.
