Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a batch placement and transfer device and method for cell culture bottles used in biological laboratories. Background Art

[0002] In modern biological laboratories, cell culture is a basic and important experimental link. As the main container for cell culture, the convenience of storage and transfer of cell culture flasks directly affects the efficiency of the experiment and the quality of culture. The existing placement method of cell culture flasks usually relies on flat placement or separate storage. This traditional method has the following problems: the existing placement method often occupies a large area of ​​the laboratory table. Especially when there are a large number of culture flasks, the flat distribution method is difficult to reasonably utilize the limited space in the laboratory, resulting in inconvenient storage and easy interference between the flasks; during the experiment, researchers need to frequently take and place the culture flasks, and the existing placement method easily leads to confusion in the position of the culture flasks, and the efficiency of searching and taking and placing is low; in addition, it is easy to cause vibration or interference to other culture flasks during the taking and placing process, thereby affecting the stability of the experiment.

[0003] Cell culture flasks come in a variety of sizes and shapes due to different experimental requirements. Existing fixing and storage devices often lack adaptability and are unable to meet the compatibility requirements for different flasks, further limiting their versatility in practical applications. When transferring cell culture flasks between laboratories or incubators, existing devices usually lack effective fixing measures, which can easily cause the flasks to slide, tip over, or vibrate during movement, which not only increases operational risks but may also damage the cells or reagents in the flasks.

[0004] In the existing batch placement and transfer devices for cell culture bottles, the structural design is usually relatively simple, lacking modularity and flexibility, and it is difficult to adapt to different laboratory environments and experimental needs, especially when the specifications of the culture bottles are diversified, and its versatility and stability are poor. At the same time, the existing devices still have a lot of room for improvement in space utilization, ease of placement, and fixation effect during movement.

[0005] The batch placement and transfer device for cell culture bottles for biological laboratories proposed by the present invention solves the above problems in a targeted manner. By adopting a turntable structure design, combined with the synergistic effect of a multifunctional placement component, a culture bottle fixing component, a locking support component, and a stable transport component, the efficient storage, convenient placement, and safe and stable transfer of culture bottles are achieved. Therefore, the present invention can significantly improve the utilization rate of laboratory space, and at the same time, through the fixed structure that automatically adapts to culture bottles of different specifications and the efficient transfer mechanism, the operating efficiency and safety of the experiment are improved.

[0006] For example, in the Chinese utility model patent with application number 202322774011.2, a synchronous operator for multiple cell culture bottles is disclosed. It includes multiple culture square bottles, and a bottle rack is arranged at the bottom of the multiple culture square bottles; a parallel moving plate and a fixed plate are arranged on the side of the bottle rack facing the culture square bottles, the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the bottle rack, and the moving plate is slidably connected to the bottle rack; a plurality of groups of limiting grooves of different depths are provided on the side of the moving plate and the fixed plate away from the bottle rack; a baffle is engaged and connected in the limiting groove, and the baffle simultaneously engages the moving plate and the fixed plate to fix the distance between the two; multiple culture square bottles are limited on the side wall of the bottle rack by the baffle. However, a synchronous operator for multiple cell culture bottles in the above patent also has the following defects; (1) The device fixes multiple culture square bottles on one side of the bottle rack through a movable plate and a fixed plate. However, since a large distance is required between the culture bottles to insert the baffle and adjust the limit groove, multiple culture bottles cannot be arranged closely, wasting precious laboratory bench space. This is particularly insufficient in high-density operation requirements.

[0007] (2) The design of the device is optimized for square culture bottles, but lacks universality for culture bottles of different specifications or shapes (such as round culture bottles or culture containers of special sizes). In addition, the fixed depth design of the limit groove is only suitable for culture bottles of a specific height and is not easily compatible with culture bottles of various specifications, limiting its wide applicability.

[0008] (3) Although the device is designed with a sliding and limiting groove structure, the distance between the moving plate and the baffle needs to be manually adjusted during operation. The adjustment process is relatively cumbersome, especially when there are a large number of culture bottles, the efficiency of batch operation is low. At the same time, since there is no stable movement design for the culture bottles, shaking is likely to occur during the transfer process, affecting the stability of the liquid in the culture bottle. Summary of the invention

[0009] The present invention proposes a batch placement and transfer device and method for cell culture bottles for biological laboratories to solve the problems of low space utilization, poor operation convenience, and unstable transfer process of culture bottles in the above-mentioned prior art.

[0010] To achieve the above purpose, the technical idea of ​​the present invention is: (1) A placement component and a culture bottle fixing component are provided. The placement component adopts a turntable structure. The turntable is divided into multiple independent placement spaces by partitions. Combined with the slide and guide rail design, efficient storage and convenient placement of cell culture bottles are achieved. The culture bottle fixing component includes an elastic clamp and a magnetic adjustment block, which can be adapted to culture bottles of different specifications. The dual fixing structure of elastic clamping and magnetic adsorption ensures the stability of the culture bottle and reduces shaking during placement.

[0011] (2) A locking support assembly is provided, including a bracket and a trigger rod slidably installed inside the bracket. The trigger rod provides an elastic driving force through a spring, and is combined with a groove and an elastic member design to achieve automatic locking and unlocking of the device between the placement state and the transfer state, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the device in different states; (3) A stable transfer component is provided, in which an airbag is built into the handle, and the pressure generated by gripping drives the fixing part to lock with the bracket, thereby achieving stability of the device during the transfer process; the fixing part adopts a conical design, which closely matches the matching hole of the bracket, further preventing shaking or slipping during transfer, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the transfer operation.

[0012] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a batch placement and transfer device for cell culture bottles for biological laboratories, comprising an upper and lower layer of placement components, at least one layer of the placement components is rotatably connected to the locking support component, and a plurality of groups of culture bottle fixing components are evenly arranged circumferentially on each layer of the placement components, and a plurality of stable transport components are also connected to the locking support component; the locking support component comprises a bracket and a trigger rod slidably sleeved inside the bracket, the trigger rod is connected to the bracket through a spring, and an elastic adjustment member for limiting the rotation of the trigger rod is provided on the bracket; the stable transport member comprises a handle, an airbag, and a fixing member, the handle is provided on the bracket, an airbag is provided inside the handle, and the end of the airbag is connected to a fixing member for cooperating with the bracket to lock when the airbag is compressed and deformed.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of slide grooves are evenly distributed circumferentially on each layer of the placement components, and a group of culture bottle fixing components are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of each slide groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the culture bottle fixing assembly includes elastic clamping members arranged at two opposite outer sides of the slide groove and a magnetic adjustment block arranged at the bottom of the culture bottle, and the magnetic adjustment block is slidably matched with the slide groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the elastic clamping member includes a fixed block, an elastic member and a clamping member. The fixed block is arranged parallel to the slide groove, and the fixed block is connected to the clamping member through the elastic member.

[0016] Furthermore, the bracket includes a support block and a support rod, the support block is provided with a mounting groove, and a plurality of guide columns with an inverted "T"-shaped cross section are vertically provided at the bottom of the support rod along the circumference of the mounting groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the trigger rod includes a bottom plate, on which a plurality of guide holes matching the guide posts are arranged, and the cross-section of the guide holes is also an inverted "T" shape.

[0018] Furthermore, the trigger rod also includes a sliding rod vertically arranged on the bottom plate, and the sliding rod is slidably connected inside the supporting rod.

[0019] Furthermore, a spring is arranged between the top of the bottom plate and the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0020] Furthermore, a plurality of pairs of grooves cooperating with the elastic member on the inner wall of the bracket are symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the trigger rod, and the grooves are annular structures along the length direction of the trigger rod.

[0021] A method for placing a batch transfer device for cell culture bottles for biological laboratories comprises the following steps: S1. Place the device on the laboratory workbench, ensure that the locking support assembly is stable, and the turntable is unlocked and can rotate freely; S2.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] 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 term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1 Combination Figures 1 to 15 The present invention discloses a batch placement and transfer device and method for cell culture bottles for biological laboratories, comprising a placement component 1, wherein the upper and lower layers of the placement components 1 are rotatably connected to a locking support component 3, wherein a plurality of slide grooves 13 are evenly distributed circumferentially on each layer of the placement component 1, and a culture bottle fixing component 2 is respectively arranged on both sides of each slide groove 13, and a plurality of stable transport components 4 are also connected to the locking support component 3; wherein the culture bottle fixing component 2 comprises an elastic clamping member 21 arranged on two opposite outer sides of the slide groove 13 and a magnetic adjustment block 22 arranged at the bottom of the culture bottle, and the magnetic adjustment block 22 is slidably matched with the slide groove 13.

[0031] like Figure 2The placement component 1 includes a turntable 11 and a partition 12. The turntable 11 is a circular planar structure, the center of which is fixedly connected by a bracket 31 and can rotate around the central axis of the bracket 31 to switch the positions of different independent placement spaces, which is convenient for experimental operation and space utilization. The partition 12 is evenly arranged along the circumference of the turntable 11, dividing the turntable 11 into a plurality of equal-sized independent placement spaces, and the size and shape of each placement space can accommodate a cell culture bottle.

[0032] Specifically, a slide groove 13 is provided at the bottom of each independent placement space, and the slide groove 13 extends radially along the turntable 11 to guide the placement and removal of the cell culture bottle. A magnet 131 is provided in the slide groove 13 to cooperate with the magnetic adjustment block 22 in the culture bottle fixing assembly 2 to provide additional fixing force to stabilize the culture bottle.

[0033] Specifically, a guide rail 14 is arranged perpendicular to the direction of the slide groove 13, and the guide rail 14 is installed on both sides of the slide groove 13, and two identification blocks 15 are arranged on both sides of the slide groove 13 of each independent placement space. The identification blocks 15 are connected by magnetic adsorption or card slots, and identification cards can be inserted according to experimental requirements to mark the experimental type, status and test cycle of the culture bottle.

[0034] like Figure 5 The culture bottle fixing assembly 2 includes an elastic clamping member 21 arranged on two opposite outer sides of the slide groove 13 and a magnetic adjustment block 22 arranged at the bottom of the culture bottle. The elastic clamping member 21 is used to clamp and fix the bottle body of the culture bottle. The magnetic adjustment block 22 cooperates with the magnet 131 at the bottom of the slide groove 13 through magnetic force to further enhance the placement stability of the culture bottle.

[0035] Specifically, the magnetic adjustment block 22 is arranged at the bottom of the culture bottle, and its shape matches the slide groove 13, and can slide and cooperate in the slide groove 13 to realize the placement and removal of the culture bottle. The magnetic adjustment block 22 is made of a thin layer of magnetic material, and the outer surface is covered with a non-magnetic protective layer to avoid the interference of the magnetic field on the culture process. The magnet 131 at the bottom of the slide groove 13 is attracted to the magnetic adjustment block 22 to limit the lateral movement of the culture bottle in the placement space.

[0036] Specifically, the elastic clamping member 21 is distributed on both sides of the slide 13, including a fixed block 211, an elastic member 212 and a clamping member 213. The fixed block 211 is arranged in parallel along both sides of the slide 13 to support the elastic member 212 and the clamping member 213. The fixed block 211 is connected to the clamping member 213 through the elastic member 212. The elastic member 212 has a spring structure, and its elastic coefficient is designed according to the shape and size of the culture bottle, which can provide an appropriate clamping force during the clamping process. A guide block 2131 is provided at the bottom of the elastic member 212. The guide block 2131 is embedded in and slidably cooperates with the guide rail 14 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the movement of the elastic member 212 and the clamping member 213 during the clamping or releasing process.

[0037] Specifically, the clamping member 213 is connected to the fixing block 211 through the elastic member 212. The inner surface of the clamping member 213 contacts the culture bottle and is covered with a flexible material (such as a silicone pad) to avoid scratching or damaging the surface of the culture bottle during the clamping process. When the culture bottle is placed in the slide 13, the magnetic adjustment block 22 first adsorbs the magnet 131 at the bottom of the slide 13 to achieve preliminary fixed positioning. At the same time, the clamping members 213 on both sides of the elastic clamping member 21 automatically adjust their positions under the action of the elastic member 212, and are in close contact with the body of the culture bottle to achieve stable clamping.

[0038] Embodiment 2 refer to Figure 1-Figure 15 , which is different from the above-mentioned embodiment 1, is further provided with a locking support assembly 3, which includes a bracket 31 and a trigger rod 32 slidably sleeved inside the bracket 31, the trigger rod 32 is connected to the bracket 31 through a spring 33, and an elastic adjustment member 34 for limiting the rotation of the trigger rod 32 is provided on the bracket 31; like Fig.12 The trigger rod 32 is slidably installed inside the bracket 31, and its main structure includes a bottom plate 322 and a sliding rod 321. The bottom plate 322 is arranged at the bottom of the trigger rod 32, and the sliding rod 321 is vertically arranged on the bottom plate 322. The top of the sliding rod 321 is slidably connected to the internal cavity of the support rod 312. The sliding rod 321 slides along the inner wall of the support rod 312 to guide the up and down movement of the trigger rod 32 and provide additional stability.

[0039] Specifically, a plurality of pairs of grooves 324 are symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the sliding rod 321 to cooperate with the elastic adjustment member 34 on the inner wall of the bracket 31, and the grooves 324 are annular structures along the length direction of the trigger rod 32. When the trigger rod 32 slides to a specific position, the grooves 324 are aligned with the elastic adjustment member 34 to achieve the locking or unlocking function of the locking support assembly 3.

[0040] like Fig.11 The bracket 31 includes a support block 311 and a support rod 312. The support block 311 is the bottom structure of the bracket 31, and a circular mounting groove 313 is arranged at the center thereof. The mounting groove 313 is used to accommodate the bottom plate 322 of the trigger rod 32. The support rod 312 is vertically arranged above the support block 311. Three guide columns 314 are vertically connected to the bottom of the support rod 312. The guide columns 314 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting groove 313, and the cross section of the guide columns 314 is an inverted "T" shape.

[0041] Specifically, the bottom plate 322 is slidably connected in the mounting groove 313 of the support block 311, and a plurality of guide holes 323 matching the guide posts 314 are provided on the bottom plate 322. The cross-section of the guide holes 323 is also an inverted "T" shape, which is used to slide with the guide posts 314 to ensure that the movement direction of the trigger rod 32 in the bracket 31 is restricted, and the inverted "T"-shaped guide posts 314 can prevent the bottom plate 322 from falling out.

[0042] Specifically, a spring 33 is provided between the top of the bottom plate 322 and the bottom of the mounting groove 313. The spring 33 enables the trigger rod 32 to slide smoothly inside the bracket 31 through the upward or downward elastic action. When the device is lifted, the elastic action of the spring 33 drives the trigger rod 32 to slide downward, and the non-groove 324 part of the trigger rod 32 contacts the elastic adjustment member 34, limiting the rotation of the locking support assembly 3 and ensuring the stability of the device during movement. When the device is placed on the platform, the trigger rod 32 slides upward under the action of the device's own weight, and the groove 324 is aligned with the elastic adjustment member 34, releasing the rotation restriction of the locking support assembly 3, allowing the device to rotate freely on the workbench.

[0043] Embodiment 3 refer to Figure 1-Figure 15 , which is different from the above-mentioned embodiment 1, is further provided with a stable transport component 4, which includes a handle 41, an airbag 42, a fixing part 43, and a connecting column 44. The connecting column 44 is sleeved on the outside of the bracket 31, and the handle 41 is arranged on the connecting column 44, and the end of the handle 41 close to the bracket 31 is an open end, and the bracket 31 and the open end of the handle 41 are provided with a locking groove 315 at corresponding positions. The hand-held end of the handle 41 is provided with an airbag 42, and the end of the airbag 42 is connected to a fixing part 43 for cooperating and locking with the bracket 31 when the airbag 42 is compressed and deformed. The fixing part 43 can slide along the inner wall of the handle 41 under the action of the pressure of the airbag 42.

[0044] Specifically, the airbag 42 is installed inside the handle 41. The airbag 42 is made of highly elastic and compression-resistant material and has good deformation recovery ability. Under normal conditions, the airbag 42 is in its original shape without force. When the user holds the handle 41 tightly, the airbag 42 is squeezed and elastically deformed. The end of the airbag 42 is connected to the fixing member 43, and the pressure generated by the squeezing pushes the fixing member 43 to insert into the locking groove 315 of the bracket 31, thereby achieving stable locking of the handle 41 and the bracket 31. The size of the airbag 42 is precisely designed to ensure that it can provide sufficient compression force while avoiding damage due to excessive deformation.

[0045] Specifically, the fixing member 43 is arranged at the end of the airbag 42 and is adapted to the locking groove 315 on the bracket 31. The fixing member 43 adopts a conical design, and can be reliably inserted into the matching hole when the airbag 42 is under pressure to achieve a firm lock. Its outer surface is made of wear-resistant material, and the stability of the locking performance can be maintained after multiple uses. The fixing member 43 is connected to the airbag 42 through a flexible connector, which has a certain degree of elasticity and is used to provide a buffer when the fixing member 43 is subjected to an external force, so as to prevent the airbag 42 from being damaged by a sudden impact during the transfer of the device.

[0046] It is worth noting that three handles 41 are fixedly connected around the bracket 31. The handles 41 are ergonomically designed to ensure that the user has a good grip and operational stability when grasping and carrying the device. The outer surface of the handle 41 is provided with an anti-slip texture, which can effectively prevent the hand from slipping and improve the comfort and stability when grasping. The handle 41 is hollow inside to accommodate the airbag 42, and its material is a high-strength lightweight material to reduce the overall weight and improve durability.

[0047] Embodiment 4 Different from the above-mentioned embodiment, a method for transferring cell culture bottles using a batch placement and transfer device for cell culture bottles in a biological laboratory comprises the following steps: S1. Place the device on a laboratory workbench or incubator, and the locking support assembly 3 unlocks the turntable 11 through the cooperation of the trigger rod 32 and the elastic member 212, so that the turntable 11 can rotate freely. The placement assembly 1 adjusts the position of the target culture bottle by rotating the turntable 11 to ensure that the culture bottle can easily enter the operation area.

[0048] S2. Each culture bottle is placed in an independent chute 13. The magnet 131 provided in the chute 13 cooperates with the magnetic adjustment block 22 at the bottom of the culture bottle to achieve preliminary fixation. The elastic clamping members 21 on both sides of the culture bottle body automatically adjust the position according to the diameter of the culture bottle, and the clamping force is provided by the elastic member 212. At the same time, the clamping member 213 is covered with a flexible material to protect the culture bottle. The placement of the culture bottle is provided with precise sliding and positioning by the guide rail 14 and the guide block 2131, ensuring that the culture bottle is stably placed in the chute 13.

[0049] S3. According to the experimental requirements, the rotating placement component 1 is adjusted to the target culture bottle to the operation surface so as to add culture solution, conduct experimental observation or other operations; S4. When the device needs to be transferred, the user grabs the handle 41 of the stable transport component 4. When the handle 41 is held tightly, the airbag 42 inside the handle 41 is deformed due to squeezing, and the connected fixing member 43 is pushed and inserted into the locking groove 315 of the bracket 31, thereby completing the locking of the stable transport component 4.

[0050] S5. At the same time, the trigger rod 32 in the locking support assembly 3 slides down due to the device being lifted, and the non-groove 324 portion of the trigger rod 32 cooperates with the elastic adjustment member 34 to limit the rotation of the turntable 11, ensuring that the culture bottle remains stable during the transfer process; The user lifts the device by the handle 41 and moves it to the target position. During the transfer process, the locking structure of the fixing member 43 and the bracket 31 prevents the device from shaking during transportation, and the trigger rod 32 limits the rotation of the turntable 11, thereby maintaining the safety and stability of the culture bottle. The support block 311 and the mounting groove 313 at the bottom of the device provide support for the overall structure, and the sliding cooperation between the guide column 314 and the guide hole 323 further enhances the stability of the trigger rod 32.

[0051] S6. After the device is placed in a new laboratory table or incubator, the user releases the handle 41, and the airbag 42 rebounds to the initial state due to the elastic restoring force, and the fixing member 43 is then withdrawn from the locking groove 315 of the bracket 31, unlocking the stable transport component 4. The self-weight of the device causes the trigger rod 32 to slide upward, and the groove 324 is realigned with the elastic adjustment member 34, unlocking the rotation restriction of the locking support component 3. At this time, the turntable 11 is unlocked again and can be rotated freely to adjust the position of the culture bottle.
