Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of three-dimensional rotary replaceable culture fluid cell microgravity, in particular to a three-dimensional rotary replaceable culture fluid cell microgravity device. Background Art

[0002] Due to the technical limitations of spacecraft, space shuttles and space stations, the cost of carrying cell biological samples is high, and usually astronauts are required to cooperate in manual operation in the middle of the journey to obtain relatively ideal experimental data, so it is difficult to implement and the feasibility is not high. Therefore, it is impractical to only rely on conducting cell biology experiments in a real space environment to study the effects of microgravity. Therefore, a three-dimensional rotating microgravity instrument with replaceable culture medium is needed. For example, the three-dimensional rotating replaceable culture fluid cell microgravity device disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN203878154U includes a cell culture fluid unit, a cell culture fluid replacement unit, an integral support frame with an axis rotation, and a control unit. The control unit first records the initial position of the cell replacement fluid outlet or the cell replacement fluid outlet port, and the control unit controls the first motor in the cell culture fluid unit to rotate at a certain frequency under a simulated microgravity working state, and records the real-time working position of the cell replacement fluid outlet or the cell replacement fluid outlet port by outputting a step length. The control unit controls the integral drive motor with an axis rotation to rotate the cell culture fluid unit and the cell culture fluid replacement unit around the axis, so that the cell culture fluid replacement unit forms a three-dimensional rotation. However, during the rotation process of the device, it is difficult to control the reflux of the culture fluid. Therefore, during the rotation process, the cell culture fluid is usually replaced by rotating 180 degrees. Subsequent rotation may cause the culture fluid that has been replaced to re-enter the cell culture fluid shell. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0017] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a three-dimensional rotary replaceable culture fluid cell microgravity device, comprising a bracket 1, a gear transmission mechanism is arranged on the inner wall of one side of the bracket 1, a rotating shaft 2 is rotatably mounted on one end of the bracket 1, a mouth frame 6 is mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft 2, a cell culture fluid housing 8 is mounted on the top of the mouth frame 6, and a cell replacement fluid housing 11 is mounted on the bottom of the mouth frame 6, and the mouth frame 6 is driven to rotate by the gear transmission mechanism, so that the cell culture fluid housing 8 and the cell replacement fluid housing 11 are exchanged in position, so as to facilitate the replacement of the culture fluid;

[0018] A partition plate 13 is installed at one end of the cell replacement fluid housing 11, a replacement fluid inlet 15 is provided at the bottom of the cell culture fluid housing 8, a replacement fluid outlet 17 is provided on one side of the top of the cell replacement fluid housing 11, a replacement fluid outlet 18 is provided on the top of the cell culture fluid housing 8, and a replacement fluid inlet 20 is provided on the other side of the top of the cell replacement fluid housing 11. The two groups of outlets and inlets are connected to each other, so that the cell replacement fluid housing 11 and the cell culture fluid housing 8 can replace the culture fluid conveniently;

[0019] The partition plate 13 divides the cell replacement fluid housing 11 into two cavities, namely, the replacement fluid cavity 12 and the outlet fluid cavity 1201. The interior of the replacement fluid cavity 12 is filled with a replacement fluid liquid 14. During the rotation of the mouth frame 6, the replacement fluid liquid 14 enters the cell culture fluid housing 8, and other liquids in the cell culture fluid housing 8 enter the outlet fluid cavity 1201 to avoid cross contamination.

[0020] The replacement fluid inlet 15 and the replacement fluid outlet 17 are connected through a replacement pipe 1501, and the replacement fluid outlet 18 and the replacement fluid inlet 20 are connected through an outlet pipe 1801. A check valve 16 is installed at one end of the surface of the replacement pipe 1501, and a pressure pump 19 and a check valve 21 are installed at both ends of the outlet pipe 1801. During the liquid replacement process, the check valve 16 and the check valve 21 are used to effectively prevent liquid reflux, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the culture fluid;

[0021] A plurality of cell placement racks 9 are installed inside the cell culture liquid housing 8, and the interior of the cell culture liquid housing 8 is filled with culture liquid 10. A control panel 7 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the bracket 1, and the output end of the control panel 7 is electrically connected to the gear transmission mechanism, the check valve 1 16, the check valve 2 21 and the input end of the pressure pump 19;

[0022] The gear transmission mechanism includes a driven gear 4 installed at one end of the surface of the rotating shaft 2 and a motor 3 installed on the inner wall of one side of the bracket 1. The output end of the motor 3 is installed with a driving gear 5 meshing with the driven gear 4. The input end of the motor 3 is electrically connected to the output end of the control panel 7. By turning on the motor 3 to drive the driving gear 5 to rotate, the driven gear 4 meshing with the driving gear 5 rotates, thereby making the 2 rotate synchronously, thereby making the cell replacement fluid shell 11 and the cell culture fluid shell 8 perform liquid replacement.

[0023] When the embodiment of the present application is used, the staff first fills the replacement fluid liquid 14 into the replacement fluid cavity 12, and then turns on the gear transmission mechanism, and the gear transmission mechanism drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, and then drives the mouth frame 6 to rotate, so that the cell culture fluid shell 8 and the cell replacement fluid shell 11 are exchanged. In the process of displacement of the cell culture fluid shell 8 and the cell replacement fluid shell 11, the culture fluid liquid 10 in the cell culture fluid shell 8 flows through the outlet pipe 1801 into the outlet fluid cavity 1201 as the rotation tilt angle changes, and the replacement fluid liquid 14 in the replacement fluid cavity 12 flows through the replacement pipe 1801. The pipe 1501 enters the cell culture fluid housing 8, thereby completing the replacement of the cell fluid. During the liquid replacement process, the staff simultaneously opens the check valve 16, the check valve 21 and the pressure pump 19 through the control panel 7. The check valve 16 and the check valve 21 prevent the liquid in the cell replacement fluid housing 11 and the cell culture fluid housing 8 from flowing back to each other during the rotation of the mouth frame 6, thereby preventing the cell fluid from being contaminated. At the same time, when the pressure pump 19 makes the cell culture fluid housing 8 at the lowest position during the rotation, the culture fluid to be replaced can also be pressurized into the outlet liquid cavity 1201.
