DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 13 , the present invention provides a technical solution: like Figure 1-Figure 13 As shown, the dental pulp stem cell culture device includes a culture box 1 and a square conveying component 2, a driving component 3, a sliding component 5, a pressing component 6 and a culture plate 4 located in the culture box 1.

[0022] The two groups of the square conveying components 2 are located on both sides of the interior of the incubator 1 , the driving component 3 is located below the square conveying components 2 and at the bottom of the incubator 1 , and the two groups of the square conveying components 2 rotate synchronously through the driving component 3 .

[0023] Specifically, the square conveying assembly 2 includes a chain belt 22 and a transmission wheel 23, one end of the transmission wheel 23 is connected to the side wall of the incubator 1 through a rotating shaft, the driving assembly 3 includes a driving motor 31 and a reversing assembly 32, the driving motor 31 is fixed to the bottom of the incubator 1, the two reversing assemblies 32 are located on both sides of the driving motor 31, and the reversing assembly 32 is connected to the square conveying assembly 2.

[0024] Through the above technical scheme, the driving motor 31 is connected to the two square conveying components 2 through the reversing component 32, and the two square conveying components 2 are driven to rotate synchronously by the driving motor 31. At the same time, the square conveying component 2 in this embodiment adopts the structure of a chain belt 22 and a rotating wheel to ensure that the chain belt 22 transmits smoothly without slipping, while improving the supporting effect of the culture plate 4.

[0025] Furthermore, the culture plate 4 is located between the two square conveying components 2 and is rotatably connected to the two square conveying components 2 respectively. A connecting rod 21 is provided on the chain belt 22. Fixed blocks 42 are provided on both sides of the culture plate 4. The connecting rod 21 is inserted into the fixed block 42 and is rotatably connected to the fixed block 42.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, and as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of culture plates 4 are arranged on the chain belt 22. When the chain belt 22 is continuously rotated by the driving motor 31, the culture plates 4 will follow the chain belt 22 to cyclically rotate. Since the fixing block 42 on the culture plate 4 is rotatably connected with the connecting rod 21 on the chain belt 22, the culture plate 4 can be quickly reset to keep level under the action of its own weight, and can always be in a horizontal state when the chain belt 22 rotates, ensuring that the culture dish 7 on the culture plate 4 will not tilt.

[0027] Furthermore, the culture plate 4 is evenly arrayed with a plurality of grooves 41, and a culture dish 7 is correspondingly arranged in each of the grooves 41. The culture dish 7 includes a base 71 and a top cover 72. The top cover 72 is provided with a slide rail 74, a slide cover 73 and an injection hole. The injection hole is located at the center of the top cover 72, and the two slide rails 74 are located on both sides of the injection hole. The slide cover 73 is slidably connected to the slide rail 74 and is located above the injection hole. An abutment plate 75 is provided above the slide cover 73, and a connecting plate 76 is provided on the top cover 72. A first spring 77 is provided between the abutment plate 75 and the connecting plate 76.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, and as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the culture dish 7 is placed on the culture plate 4. One culture plate 4 can hold multiple culture dishes 7, so that a large number of dental pulp stem cells can be cultured. Grasping grooves 43 are provided on both sides of the groove 41 to facilitate placing or removing the culture dish 7 from the groove 41.

[0029] The top cover 72 and the base 71 of the culture dish 7 just fit into the groove 41. An opening and closing structure is provided on the top cover 72. When the first spring 77 is in the reset state, the sliding cover 73 is located above the injection hole to cover the injection hole to prevent the inside of the culture dish 7 from contacting the outside world. When the abutment plate 75 on the sliding cover 73 is pushed to move toward the connecting plate 76, the sliding cover 73 slides along the slide rail 74 and compresses the first spring 77 at the same time. The sliding cover 73 opens to expose the injection hole, and nutrient solution can be added to the culture dish 7 from the injection hole at this time; when the pressure on the abutment plate 75 is cancelled, the sliding cover 73 is reset under the action of the first spring 77, and the injection hole is blocked.

[0030] At the same time, a limit block is provided on one side of the top cover 72, and the groove 41 is provided with a slot corresponding to the position of the limit block. The culture dish 7 can be placed into the groove 41 in a specified direction through the limit block, so that the subsequent sliding component 5 can open the sliding cover 73.

[0031] Furthermore, if Figure 5 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, the sliding assembly 5 includes a cylinder 57, a bracket 58 and a connecting piece. The sliding assembly 5 is located above the square conveying assembly 2. Sliding rods 51 are provided on the front and rear sides of the incubator 1. Sliding blocks 52 that cooperate with the sliding rods 51 are provided on the front and rear ends of the bracket 58. The bracket 58 is slidably connected to the incubator 1 through the sliding rods 51 and the sliding blocks 52.

[0032] At the same time, a placement tube 53 is provided in the middle of the bracket 58, and a placement tube 53 is correspondingly provided on one side of each culture dish 7. At the same time, the placement tube 53 is located on the side of the abutment plate 75 away from the connecting plate 76. The cylinder 57 is fixed on one side of the incubator 1, and the piston rod of the cylinder 57 is detachably connected to the bracket 58 through a connecting piece.

[0033] According to the above technical solution, when the cylinder 57 drives the bracket 58 to move through the connecting piece, the bracket 58 slides along the slide bar 51 through the slider 52, and the placement tube 53 on the bracket 58 moves synchronously, and the placement tube 53 contacts the abutment plate 75, and the placement tube 53 drives the abutment plate 75 to move and then open the slide cover 73. When the slide cover 73 abuts the connecting plate 76, the injection hole is completely exposed, and the center of the placement tube 53 is just aligned with the center of the injection hole.

[0034] Furthermore, the connecting member includes a vertical rod 54, a fixed rod 55 and an insertion rod 56, one side of the vertical rod 54 is fixed to the piston rod of the cylinder 57, the top of the vertical rod 54 is fixed to the outer ring of the bearing 68, the fixed rod 55 is located on the side of the vertical rod 54 away from the cylinder 57, the end of the fixed rod 55 away from the cylinder 57 is connected to the cylinder 57 by bolts, the length of the fixed rod 55 is greater than the insertion rod 56, the insertion rod 56 is located below the fixed rod 55, and the insertion rod 56 corresponds to the socket 44.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, the vertical rod 54 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 57, and the fixed rod 55 is detachably connected to the middle part of the bracket 58. When the cylinder 57 is not started, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the cylinder 57 is located on the right side of the incubator 1 , and the placement tube 53 is located on the right side of the abutment plate 75 , which does not affect the cyclic rotation of the culture plate 4 following the chain belt 22 .

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when a culture plate 4 just moves to the top of the square conveying assembly 2, the chain belt 22 stops rotating and the cylinder 57 starts. The cylinder 57 pushes the bracket 58 to move leftward through the fixing rod 55, and the insertion rod 56 is inserted into the insertion hole 44 of the fixing block 42. Since the insertion rod 56 cooperates with the insertion hole 44, the insertion rod 56 is used to limit the position, and the culture plate 4 will not rotate at this time, so that the shaking of the culture plate 4 is avoided to affect the culture dish 7. As the cylinder 57 works, the slide cover 73 is fully opened until the placement tube 53 is placed.

[0037] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Fig.12As shown, the syringe 8 is placed in the placement tube 53, and the inner size of the placement tube 53 matches the outer size of the syringe 8. The syringe 8 is used to extract the nutrient solution in advance. When the placement tube 53 opens the slide cover 73, the syringe 8 is located in the placement tube 53 and aligned with the injection hole. Under the action of the subsequent pressing component 6, the syringe 8 will inject the nutrient solution into the culture dish 7.

[0038] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Fig.13 As shown, the pressing assembly 6 includes a cover plate 612, a rotating motor 611 and a transmission assembly. The cover plate 612 is located at the top of the incubator 1. A mounting plate 61 is provided on the cover plate 612. A second spring 613 is provided between the mounting plate 61 and the cover plate 612. A pressure rod 62 is provided below the mounting plate 61. The pressure rod 62 is correspondingly located above the injection hole. The pressure rod 62 passes through the cover plate 612 corresponding to the injection hole. The cover plate 612 is connected to the rotating motor 611 through a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a sleeve 610, a spline shaft 69, a first bevel gear 67, a second bevel gear 66, a spur gear 65 and a rack 64. The motor seat of the rotating motor 611 is fixed on the side wall of the incubator 1. One end of the sleeve 610 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the incubator 1. The sleeve 610 A gear ring is provided on it, and the rotating motor 611 is connected to the sleeve 610 through the gear ring. One end of the spline shaft 69 is inserted into the sleeve 610 and is slidably connected to the sleeve 610. The first bevel gear 67 is located at the other end of the spline shaft 69. A bearing 68 is also provided on the spline shaft 69. The inner ring of the bearing 68 is tightly matched with the spline shaft 69, and the outer ring of the bearing 68 is connected to the connecting piece. One end of the rack 64 is fixed on the mounting plate 61, and the other end of the rack 64 passes through the cover plate 612. The spur gear 65 and the second bevel gear 66 are located below the top cover 72, and the spur gear 65 is meshed with the rack 64. Two groups of the spur gears 65 and the rack 64 are respectively located on both sides of the second bevel gear 66, and the second bevel gear 66 is meshed with the first bevel gear 67.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, the cover plate 612 is detachably connected to the incubator 1, and the two racks 64 are located on both sides of the placement tube 53 and will not affect the movement of the bracket 58. The mounting frame and the cover plate 612 bracket 58 are supported by the second spring 613. When the cylinder 57 moves, since the vertical rod 54 is connected to the outer ring of the bearing 68, the spline shaft 69 will be pushed out of the sleeve 610. At this time, the first bevel gear 67 moves to the left and meshes with the second bevel gear 66. When the rotating motor 611 is started, the rotating motor 611 drives the sleeve 610 to rotate. Since the sleeve 610 is key-connected with the spline shaft 69, the spline shaft 69 drives the first bevel gear 67 to rotate, and then through the second bevel gear 66 and the spur gear 65, the lifting and lowering of the rack 64 is realized. Since the rack 64 is connected to the mounting plate 61, the pressure rod 62 is located below the mounting plate 61, so the lifting and lowering of the pressure rod 62 is finally realized. Since the pressure rod 62 is located above the injection hole, when the syringe 8 is located above the injection hole through the cylinder 57, as the pressure rod 62 descends, the nutrient liquid in the syringe 8 can be pressed out to complete the addition to the culture dish 7.

[0040] Furthermore, a displacement sensor 63 is provided below the cover plate 612 and on one side of the pressure rod 62 , and the displacement sensor 63 corresponds to the top of the syringe 8 .

[0041] Through the above technical solution, the distance between the end of the piston shaft of the syringe 8 and the displacement sensor 63 can be obtained through the displacement sensor 63. Since the diameter of the syringe 8 is determined, the volume is the product of the bottom area and the height. That is, the volume of the pressed nutrient solution can be determined by judging the distance the piston shaft of the syringe 8 is pressed, thereby achieving quantitative addition to the culture dish 7.

[0042] Furthermore, a binocular camera is provided below the cover plate 612 .

[0043] Through the above technical solution, the position of the culture plate 4 is identified by the binocular camera. When the culture plate 4 is rotated to the top through the chain belt 22, the drive motor 31 stops, and the cylinder 57 and the rotating motor 611 are started to complete the addition of the nutrient solution.

[0044] Furthermore, a detachable front panel is provided on the front of the incubator 1 , and the front panel, the cover plate 612 and the mounting plate 61 are made of transparent plastic material.

[0045] Through the above technical solution, the culture dish 7 can be taken out or put in by opening the front panel. As the chain belt 22 rotates slowly, the culture dish 7 can be put in and taken out continuously, and the panel of transparent plastic material can be easily observed.

[0046] Specific implementation method, such as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the driving motor 31 and the cylinder 57 are not started, and the culture dish 7 is cultured statically in the incubator 1. A heating and humidifying component can be provided in the incubator 1 as required.

[0047] When it is necessary to add nutrient solution to the culture dish 7, since the cylinder 57 is not started, the cover 612 is opened and the bracket 58 is placed on the slide rod 51. Since the vertical rod 54 is also detachably connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 57, the connecting parts can be connected to the bracket 58 and the cylinder 57 respectively. At the same time, multiple syringes 8 with fixed volumes of nutrient solution extracted in advance are placed in multiple placement tubes 53, and the cover 612 is reset.

[0048] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the drive motor 31 is started at this time, and as the chain belt 22 rotates, the culture plate 4 rotates accordingly. When the binocular camera determines that a culture plate 4 is directly above, the drive motor 31 is stopped and the cylinder 57 is started.

[0049] The cylinder 57 pushes the bracket 58 to move leftward through the fixed rod 55, and the plug rod 56 is inserted into the insertion hole 44 of the fixed block 42. Since the plug rod 56 cooperates with the insertion hole 44 and is limited by the plug rod 56, the culture plate 4 will not rotate at this time, thereby preventing the culture plate 4 from shaking and affecting the culture dish 7. As the cylinder 57 continues to push, the bracket 58 slides along the slide rod 51 through the slider 52, and the placement tube 53 on the bracket 58 moves synchronously. The placement tube 53 contacts the abutment plate 75, and the placement tube 53 drives the abutment plate 75 to move and then open the slide cover 73. When the slide cover 73 abuts the connecting plate 76, the injection hole is completely exposed, and the center of the placement tube 53 is just aligned with the center of the injection hole.

[0050] As the cylinder 57 moves, the first bevel gear 67 moves to the left and meshes with the second bevel gear 66. When the rotating motor 611 is started, the pressure rod 62 is finally lowered under the action of the second bevel gear 66, the spur gear 65 and the rack 64, and quantitative liquid addition is achieved through the displacement sensor 63. At the same time, the nutrient solution can be added to all the culture dishes 7 on a culture plate 4 at one time through the pressing component 6 and the sliding component 5, which greatly improves the addition efficiency.

[0051] When the culture dish 7 on a culture plate 4 is added, the cylinder 57 is reset, the drive motor 31 is started, and the next culture plate 4 is moved to the top through the chain belt 22 for the next round of addition. This solution can realize the automatic addition of multiple culture dishes 7, freeing up manpower and improving the addition efficiency. At the same time, different concentrations of nutrient solution can be replaced by replacing the syringe 8 to improve the flexibility of addition. At the same time, the entire process of addition is located in the incubator 1, which greatly reduces external pollution and ensures the culture effect of dental pulp stem cells.

[0052] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field.
