[0014] A method for using a stem cell culture device comprises the following steps: S1. Select bone marrow or umbilical cord blood from a healthy donor as a source of hair follicle stem cells, isolate and purify the hair follicle stem cells through standardized processing steps, then inoculate the isolated hair follicle stem cells into a hair follicle stem cell culture dish, add a specific culture medium to the hair follicle stem cell culture dish, and then place the hair follicle stem cell culture dish into an external hair follicle stem cell culture storage box. The hair follicle stem cell culture storage box provides a suitable culture environment for the hair follicle stem cells, and then the hair follicle stem cell culture storage box is installed in a suitable location on one side of the interior of the incubator shell; S2. When the culture medium of the hair follicle stem cell culture dish needs to be replaced, the robot arm takes the culture dish from the hair follicle stem cell culture storage box, detects the weight of the culture dish through the sensor inside the robot arm, and then places the multiple culture dishes in the placement slots inside the mounting base in sequence; S3. The drive motor drives the fixed plate, the connecting sleeve, and the gear to rotate clockwise 30 degrees via the fixed shaft, thereby moving the culture dish to be directly below the culture medium supply unit. The culture medium supply unit will provide a fixed amount of culture medium or add specific differentiation factors and compounds to the culture dish to promote the growth or differentiation of hair follicle stem cells. S4. As the fixed plate rotates, the gear meshes with the ring gear, and under the action of the ring gear, the gear, the connecting sleeve, the connecting shaft, the flat plate, and the protrusion rotate, so that the first roller drives the connecting rod to move upward, causing the mounting seat to rotate around the second ball joint support and the ball joint support rod, slowly tilting and shaking the culture dish inside the mounting seat within the set angle; S5. The electric push rod drives the connecting seat and the fixing sleeve to move inside the fixing cylinder, so that the connecting shaft drives the flat plate and the protrusion to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height between the protrusion and the first roller. S6. At the same time, the electric push rod squeezes the liquid supply bag, and the liquid in the liquid supply bag is transported to the inside of the culture medium supply unit through the liquid outlet tube; S7. Before the fixed plate drives the mounting seat and moves to the culture medium supply unit, the annular protrusion will squeeze the second roller, causing the second roller to drive the fixed rod to squeeze the sliding block and the main liquid bag, and the liquid inside the main liquid bag is transported to the auxiliary liquid bag through the infusion tube, fixed sleeve, connecting shaft, pipeline, channel and fixed tube, so that the auxiliary liquid bag expands and drives the fan-shaped plate, fan-shaped block and fan-shaped fixed plate to move, and the outside of the culture dish is automatically fixed by the fan-shaped fixed plate.

[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In the present invention, a shaking assembly is provided to enable the driving motor to drive the fixed plate, the connecting sleeve and the gear to rotate through the fixed shaft. At this time, the gear will mesh with the ring gear and drive the gear, the connecting sleeve, the connecting shaft, the flat plate and the protrusion to rotate under the action of the ring gear. During the rotation, the protrusion will squeeze the first roller, causing the first roller to drive the connecting rod to move upward, so that the mounting seat rotates around the second ball joint support and the ball joint support rod, and the culture dish inside the mounting seat is slowly tilted and shaken within a set angle, so that the culture solution inside the culture dish produces periodic fluid movement, which helps to enhance the mixing of the culture solution, reduce local nutrient gradients, and make the hair follicle stem cells inside the culture dish evenly absorb substances. The electric push rod drives the connecting seat, fixing sleeve, connecting shaft, flat plate and protrusion to move up and down, and the use height between the protrusion and the first roller is adjusted to adjust the tilt angle of the mounting seat. When the hair follicle stem cells of the same batch grow faster, the cell density inside the culture dish is higher. The tilt and shaking angle of the mounting seat is increased to help promote the diffusion of metabolic waste, break the surface tension layer of the culture solution, improve gas exchange efficiency, and promote nutrient supply in the edge area. The equipment can select the appropriate tilt and shaking angle according to the needs of the hair follicle stem cells of the same batch, reduce the differences within the same batch, and effectively ensure the different usage needs of the culture dishes within the same batch.

[0016] 2. In the present invention, by setting a fixing component, before the fixed plate drives the mounting seat and moves to the culture medium supply unit, the annular protrusion will transport the liquid inside the main liquid sac to the fixed sleeve and the connecting shaft through the second roller, the fixed rod and the sliding block, so that the auxiliary liquid sac will expand and drive the fan-shaped plate, the fan-shaped block and the fan-shaped fixed plate to move. The outside of the culture dish is automatically fixed by the fan-shaped fixed plate, which reduces the slight displacement of the culture dish, reduces the vibration of the culture dish, reduces the risk of cells falling off due to high-frequency micro-vibration, and makes the shaking angle more precise, further improving the use effect of the equipment.

[0017] 3. In the present invention, through the auxiliary liquid supply component, the electric push rod will transport the liquid inside the liquid supply bag through the liquid outlet tube to the inside of the culture medium supply unit to compensate for the consumption rate of the proliferating cells inside the culture dish to ensure their production nutritional needs. The newly added culture fluid will change the liquid level, reducing mechanical damage to cells with high proliferation rates at the same angle. This device uses a dynamic culture method to improve nutrient distribution and gas exchange efficiency while achieving multi-dimensional protection of hair follicle stem cells, ensuring efficient proliferation and maintenance of stemness.

Under the action of the ring gear 601, the gear 602, the connecting sleeve 603, the connecting shaft 604, the flat plate 605 and the protrusion 606 rotate, so that the first roller 607 drives the connecting rod 608 to move upward, causing the mounting seat 9 to rotate around the second ball joint support and the ball joint support rod, and slowly tilting and shaking the culture dish inside the mounting seat 9 within a set angle; S5: The electric push rod 612 drives the connecting seat 613 and the fixing sleeve 614 to move inside the fixing cylinder 610, so that the connecting shaft 604 drives the flat plate 605 and the protrusion 606 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height between the protrusion 606 and the first roller 607. S6. At the same time, the electric push rod 612 squeezes the liquid supply capsule 801, and delivers the liquid inside the liquid supply capsule 801 to the inside of the culture medium supply unit 2 through the liquid outlet tube 802. S7, before the fixed plate 4 drives the mounting seat 9 and moves to the culture medium supply unit 2, the annular protrusion 702 will squeeze the second roller 703, so that the second roller 703 drives the fixed rod 704 to squeeze the sliding block 705 and the main liquid sac 706, and the liquid inside the main liquid sac 706 is transported to the inside of the auxiliary liquid sac 709 through the infusion tube 707, the fixed sleeve 614, the connecting shaft 604, the pipeline, the channel and the fixed tube, so that the auxiliary liquid sac 709 expands and drives the fan plate 710, the fan block 711 and the fan fixed plate 712 to move, and the outside of the culture dish is automatically fixed by the fan fixed plate 712.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, bone marrow or umbilical cord blood from a healthy donor is selected as the source of hair follicle stem cells, and the hair follicle stem cells are separated and purified through standardized processing steps. The separated hair follicle stem cells are then inoculated into a hair follicle stem cell culture dish, and a specific culture medium is added to the hair follicle stem cell culture dish. The hair follicle stem cell culture dish is then placed into an external hair follicle stem cell culture storage box. The hair follicle stem cell culture storage box provides a suitable culture environment for the hair follicle stem cells, and the hair follicle stem cell culture storage box is then installed in a suitable place on one side of the incubator shell 1. When the culture medium of the hair follicle stem cell culture dish needs to be replaced, the robot 3 is used to take the culture dish inside the hair follicle stem cell culture storage box, and the weight of the culture dish is detected by the sensor inside the robot 3. Then, multiple culture dishes are placed in the placement slot inside the mounting seat 9 in sequence. The drive motor 5 and the electric push rod 612 are started according to actual needs, so that the drive motor 5 drives the fixed plate 4, the connecting sleeve 603 and the gear 602 to rotate clockwise by 30 degrees through the fixed shaft, and the culture dish is moved to the bottom of the culture medium supply unit 2. The culture medium supply unit 2 will provide a fixed amount of culture medium to the culture dish. As the fixed plate 4 rotates, the gear 602 will mesh with the ring gear 601, and under the action of the ring gear 601, the gear 602, the connecting sleeve 603, the connecting shaft 604, the flat plate 605 and the protrusion 606 are driven to rotate. During the rotation, the protrusion 606 squeezes the first roller 607, so that the first roller 607 drives the connecting rod 608 to move upward, so that the mounting seat 9 rotates around the second ball joint support and the ball joint support rod, and the culture dish inside the mounting seat 9 is slowly tilted and shaken within the set angle. The electric push rod 612 drives the connecting seat 613 and the fixing sleeve 614 to move inside the fixing cylinder 610, so that the connecting shaft 604 drives the flat plate 605 and the protrusion 606 to move up and down, and adjusts the use height between the protrusion 606 and the first roller 607 to adjust the inclination angle of the mounting seat 9. At the same time, the electric push rod 612 squeezes the liquid supply capsule 801, and transports the liquid inside the liquid supply capsule 801 to the inside of the culture medium supply unit 2 through the liquid outlet tube 802 to compensate for the consumption rate of the proliferating cells inside the culture dish. Before the fixed plate 4 drives the mounting seat 9 and moves to the culture medium supply unit 2, the annular protrusion 702 will squeeze the second roller 703, so that the second roller 703 drives the fixed rod 704 to squeeze the sliding block 705 and the main liquid sac 706, and the liquid inside the main liquid sac 706 is transported to the fixed sleeve 614 and the connecting shaft 604 through the infusion tube 707, and then transported to the inside of the channel inside the mounting seat 9 through the pipeline, and then transported to the inside of the auxiliary liquid sac 709 through the fixed tube, so that the auxiliary liquid sac 709 expands and drives the fan plate 710, the fan block 711 and the fan fixed plate 712 to move, and the outside of the culture dish is automatically fixed by the fan fixed plate 712, which is convenient to use.
