DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 A monitoring device for a cell culture box includes a culture box body 1 and a circulating water replenishment mechanism 2 arranged below the culture box body 1. The culture box body 1 includes a box body 101, and a glass sliding door 3 is movably connected to the front side of the box body 101:

[0025] Furthermore, the circulating water replenishment mechanism 2 includes a spray component arranged inside the box body 101, and a first water tank 206 is fixedly connected to the top of the spray component. The first water tank 206 is fixedly arranged on the top of the box body 101, and a connecting pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the first water tank 206. One end of the connecting pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the water outlet end of a water pump 211. A second water tank 208 is provided below the box body 101, and a plurality of filter plates 210 are equidistantly provided inside the second water tank 208. A water pump 211 is fixedly connected to one side of the second water tank 208, and a pumping pipe 212 is fixedly connected to the water pumping end of the water pump 211, and one end of the pumping pipe 212 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the second water tank 208.

[0026] This device realizes automatic replenishment of water in the box 101 by combining the first water tank 206 with the spray part. When the humidity in the box decreases due to evaporation of water, water is transported from the first water tank 206 to the spray part and evenly sprayed back into the box 101 to maintain appropriate humidity. The second water tank 208 and the filter plate 210 are set up, which means that the used water will be collected and reused after filtering. This not only saves water resources, but also reduces the impact of external pollutants on the cell culture environment, and improves the sustainability and economy of the system. The glass sliding door 3 on the front side of the box 101 is designed to facilitate researchers to observe the cell culture status at any time without opening the glass sliding door 3, reducing external interference and pollution risks. This device embodies innovative thinking on water management in the cell culture process, and improves the efficiency and quality of cell culture through automatic circulation water replenishment and water quality management.

[0027] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 104 is rotatably connected to the center of the box 101, and a plurality of cultivation trays 109 are equidistantly sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 104. A humidity monitor is provided inside the cultivation tray 109. The bottom of the rotating shaft 104 extends to the bottom of the box 101 and is fixedly connected to a power motor 105.

[0028] Through the rotating shaft 104 at the center of the box 101 and multiple culture trays 109 equidistantly arranged, the cells can experience a three-dimensional culture environment close to the physiological state during the rotation process. The rotating shaft 104 drives the culture trays 109 to rotate through the power motor 105, which helps to evenly distribute environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and gases such as CO2 and O2 in the box 101, reduce local differences in the culture environment, and ensure that the cells on each culture tray 109 can obtain consistent culture conditions.

[0029] Furthermore, support legs 102 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the box body 101, and drainage pipes 103 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the box body 101. The bottoms of the support legs 102 and the drainage pipes 103 are fixedly connected to the top of the second water tank 208, and the power motor 105 is fixedly arranged on the top of the second water tank 208.

[0030] Through the integrated design of the support legs 102, the drain pipe 103 and the top of the second water tank 208, it can be seen that the designer is striving to achieve functional coordination of various parts of the system and maximize space utilization, which not only improves the practicality of the equipment, but also helps to simplify the maintenance process and improve work efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, a plurality of positioning holes 106 are equidistantly provided on the rotating shaft 104 , and an opening adapted to fit the positioning holes 106 is provided on the cultivation tray 109 , and a positioning pin 107 is clamped between the opening and the positioning hole 106 .

[0032] The positioning pin 107 is fixed to ensure the precise position and stable installation of the culture tray 109 on the rotating shaft 104, which not only avoids the deviation or falling off of the culture tray 109 during rotation, but also facilitates the adjustment of the position of the culture tray 109 according to different experimental requirements to achieve flexible layout.

[0033] Furthermore, slide grooves 108 are correspondingly provided on the front and rear sides of the rotating shaft 104 , and sliders 110 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the cultivation plate 109 , and the sliders 110 are slidably connected to the slide grooves 108 .

[0034] The above design makes the installation and removal of the culture plate 109 simple and quick, and it can be replaced or cleaned without complicated operations, which greatly improves the efficiency of experimental operations and reduces interference with the cell culture environment.

[0035] Furthermore, the spraying part includes a plurality of water spray pipes 201 equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of the box body 101 , a plurality of nozzles 202 are fixedly connected to one side of the water spray pipes 201 , a ring pipe 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the plurality of water spray pipes 201 , and the ring pipe 203 is fixedly arranged above the inner wall of the box body 101 .

[0036] By equidistantly disposing a plurality of water spray pipes 201 and nozzles 202 on the inner wall of the box body 101, it can be ensured that the sprayed water evenly covers the entire internal space of the incubator, reducing the situation where the local humidity is too high or too low, and providing a more stable and consistent growth environment for the cells.

[0037] Furthermore, the center of the annular tube 203 is fixedly connected to a central tube 204 , the top of the central tube 204 is fixedly connected to a water outlet pipe 205 , and the top of the water outlet pipe 205 extends to above the box body 101 and is fixedly connected to a first water tank 206 .

[0038] The annular tube 203 is fixed on the inner wall of the box body 101 and combined with the central tube 204 to form a three-dimensional water spray network. This design not only increases the water spray coverage area, but also connects to the first water tank 206 through the outlet pipe 205 of the central tube 204, ensuring a continuous supply of water and making the water replenishment process smoother.

[0039] Furthermore, a water inlet pipe 209 is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the second water tank 208 .

[0040] The provision of the water inlet pipe 209 ensures that the second water tank 208 can be continuously replenished with clean water from an external water source, which is essential for maintaining the continuous operation of the entire circulating water replenishment system. It allows fresh water to be replenished in a timely manner as needed while the water is recycled, thereby maintaining the stability of the system and the freshness of the water quality.

[0041] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
