Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cell culture detection, and in particular relates to a cell detection device. Background Art
[0002] Cells need to be cultured before testing, mainly to ensure that they are in a state suitable for the experiment. Most cells need to be in a suitable environment to maintain vitality and physiological functions. The culture process helps cells maintain their activity and ensures the reliability of experimental results by providing nutrients, temperature, humidity, pH and other conditions suitable for cell growth. Many experiments require a certain number of cells to obtain sufficient experimental data. Through culture, researchers can expand the number of cells to meet subsequent experimental needs. If the cells come from frozen storage or passaging, they may experience a period of dormancy or damage before certain experiments. Through culture, cells can restore their normal growth state to ensure that they are in the best condition for experiments. In some experiments, researchers need specific stimulation or treatment (such as drugs, hormones, environmental changes, etc.) to change the state of cells. The culture stage provides time and space conditions for this specific induction, so culture before cell testing is an essential step.
[0003] However, when a large number of cells need to be tested, the cells need to be frequently removed and replaced from the culture device, which requires the hatch of the incubator to be opened for a long time. At the same time, the manual search process is likely to contaminate the cell culture process. The long-term opening of the hatch causes the environment inside the incubator to be unstable, which reduces cell activity and affects the detection effect. Summary of the invention

[0007] Through the above technical scheme, through the use of the driving mechanism and the culture mechanism, when the culture plate needs to be taken, the driving mechanism drives the movable support plate to move to the bottom of the culture plate, and then the movable support plate is pushed upward to separate the culture plate from the fixed frame. Then, driven by the driving mechanism, the movable support plate drives the culture plate to move to a position close to the flap, and the culture plate can be taken out by opening the flap by the handle. There is no need to open the incubator for a long time. The driving mechanism is used for taking and placing. The flap is closed during the whole process, which makes the environment inside the incubator more stable.

[0012] Furthermore, the first screw rod passes through a threaded connection to the moving frame, an output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to a second screw rod, and a sliding groove is provided on an upper surface of the moving frame.
[0013] Through the above technical solution, the second screw rod cooperates with the moving block thread, thereby driving the moving block to move along the sliding groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the movable support plate includes a movable block which is threadedly connected to a second screw rod, a slider is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable block, the slider and the slide groove slide in cooperation with each other, both sides of the movable block are fixedly connected to a cylinder, the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to a lifting support plate, the upper surface of the lifting support plate is fixedly connected to an electromagnet, and the edge of the upper surface of the lifting support plate is chamfered.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, the culture plate can be adsorbed by the electromagnet to make the culture plate more stable.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the truncated table is inserted into the fixed sleeve, at which time the truncated table pushes away the wedge block, and then the wedge block enters the position between the truncated table and the wedge-shaped ring under the push of the first spring to clamp the truncated table.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the lifting support plate moves to the bottom of the culture plate and rises to lift the culture plate. At this time, the wedge-shaped ring is equipped with a fixed column to lift and push the wedge block, and the electromagnet is started to adsorb and fix the culture plate. The lifting support plate descends, and under the joint action of the second spring pushing the sleeve, the culture plate moves downward. At this time, the wedge-shaped ring pushes the wedge block through the inclined surface of the lower surface, so that the wedge block cannot be stuck on the round table, and the culture plate will not be stuck by the fixed sleeve.
[0020] Furthermore, the fixing sleeve and the base correspond one to one, the diameter of the fixing column is larger than the thin rod, and the diameter of the wedge-shaped collar is larger than the diameter of the frustum.
[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention uses a driving mechanism and a culture mechanism. When the culture plate needs to be taken out, the driving mechanism drives the movable support plate to move to the bottom of the culture plate, and then the movable support plate is lifted up to separate the culture plate from the fixed frame. Then, driven by the driving mechanism, the movable support plate drives the culture plate to move to a position close to the flap. The culture plate can be taken out by opening the flap by the handle. There is no need to open the incubator for a long time. The drive mechanism is used to take and place the culture plate. The flap is closed during the whole process, making the environment inside the incubator more stable. At the same time, no manual search is required, which greatly reduces the possibility of cell contamination and makes the detection effect more accurate. (2) The present invention uses an electromagnet on the movable support plate and a second spring and a sleeve in the fixed sleeve. When the culture plate is fixed on the support plate by the electromagnet and when the culture plate is pushed on the fixed frame by the sleeve, the engagement between the truncated cone and the wedge block is tighter, avoiding the shaking of the culture plate, making the culture plate more stable whether on the mobile or fixed frame, and avoiding the cells in the culture dish from spilling out due to shaking.

The cylinder 62 pushes the lifting support plate 63 to rise, and the electromagnet 65 is started to adsorb the base 81.
[0038] like Figure 7-Figure 10 As shown, a plurality of culture racks 7 are fixedly connected in the incubator 1, and the culture racks 7 include a fixed rack 71 fixedly connected in the incubator 1, a plurality of fixed sleeves 72 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed rack 71, a wedge 75 is slidably connected in the fixed sleeve 72, and a round table 84 is inserted into the fixed sleeve 72. At this time, the round table 84 pushes away the wedge 75, and then the wedge 75 enters the position between the round table 84 and the wedge ring 85 under the push of the first spring 74, and the round table 84 is clamped.
[0039] A plurality of first grooves 73 are provided in the fixing sleeve 72, and a first spring 74 is fixedly connected in the first groove 73. One end of the first spring 74 away from the first groove 73 is fixedly connected to the wedge block 75.

A sleeve 78 is fixedly connected at the lower end of the second spring 77. The sleeve 78 is made of silicone. The culture plate 8 is lifted up. At this time, the wedge-shaped ring 85 is lifted up by the fixing column 82 and pushes away the wedge block 75. The electromagnet 65 is started to adsorb and fix the culture plate 8, and the lifting support plate 63 descends. Under the joint action of the second spring 77 pushing the sleeve 78, the culture plate 8 moves downward. At this time, the wedge-shaped ring 85 pushes away the wedge block 75 through the inclined surface of the lower surface, so that the wedge block 75 cannot get stuck on the round table 84, so that the culture plate 8 will not be stuck by the fixing sleeve 72.
[0040] A number of culture plates 8 are arranged on the culture rack 7. The culture plates 8 include a base 81 arranged below the fixed sleeve 72. A fixed column 82 is fixedly connected to the base 81. A thin rod 83 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed column 82. A round table 84 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the thin rod 83. A wedge-shaped ring 85 is slidably connected to the outside of the thin rod 83. A number of culture dishes 86 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 81. The fixed column 82, the thin rod 83, the round table 84, the wedge-shaped ring 85 and the fixed sleeve 72 are all concentrically arranged. An iron block is fixedly connected inside the base 81. The upper surface of the round table 84 is inclined, and the lower surface of the wedge-shaped ring 85 is inclined.
[0041] The fixing sleeve 72 and the base 81 correspond to each other one by one. The diameter of the fixing column 82 is larger than the thin rod 83 , and the diameter of the wedge-shaped collar 85 is larger than the diameter of the truncated cone 84 .
[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the first motor 51 drives the first screw rod 52 to rotate, the second motor 57 drives the second screw rod 56 to rotate, the first screw rod 52 is threadedly matched with the moving frame 54, thereby driving the moving frame 54 to move along the slide rod 53, and the second screw rod 56 is threadedly matched with the moving block 61, thereby driving the moving block 61 to move along the slide groove 55. Driven by the first motor 51 and the second motor 57, the moving block 61 can move freely with two degrees of freedom in a plane, thereby driving the lifting support plate 63 to move freely.
[0043] When cells need to be cultured, the staff adds cells and culture fluid into the culture dish 86 on the base 81, and then controls the driving mechanism 5 through the button 10, drives the lifting plate 63 to move to a position close to the flap 3 through the driving mechanism 5, opens the flap 3 through the handle 4 and places the culture plate 8 on the lifting plate 63, and then starts the electromagnet 65 to adsorb the base 81.
[0044] Then, the culture plate 8 is moved to a predetermined position through the driving mechanism 5, and the cylinder 62 pushes the lifting support plate 63 to rise, so that the round table 84 is inserted into the fixed sleeve 72. At this time, the round table 84 pushes away the wedge block 75, and then the wedge block 75 enters the position between the round table 84 and the wedge ring 85 under the push of the first spring 74, and clamps the round table 84, thereby fixing the culture plate 8 on the fixed frame 71, and then the electromagnet 65 is closed, and the lifting support plate 63 descends and resets.
[0045] When the culture plate 8 needs to be taken out, the lifting support plate 63 moves to the bottom of the culture plate 8 and rises to lift the culture plate 8. At this time, the wedge-shaped ring 85 is lifted by the fixed column 82 and pushes away the wedge block 75. The electromagnet 65 is started to adsorb and fix the culture plate 8. The lifting support plate 63 descends. Under the joint action of the second spring 77 pushing the sleeve 78, the culture plate 8 moves downward. At this time, the wedge-shaped ring 85 pushes away the wedge block 75 through the inclined surface of the lower surface, so that the wedge block 75 cannot be stuck on the round table 84, so that the culture plate 8 will not be stuck by the fixed sleeve 72. Afterwards, driven by the driving mechanism 5, the culture plate 8 moves to a position close to the flip plate 3, and the staff opens the flip plate 3 through the handle 4 to take out the culture plate 8.
