DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] See also Figure 1-7 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a cell culture bioreactor, comprising a box body 2, a water tank 1 is connected to the top of the box body 2, a water injection assembly 9 is arranged above the water tank 1, an adjustment mechanism 7 is arranged between the water tank 1 and the box body 2, a placement plate 6 is connected to the inside of the box body 2, a culture dish 5 is arranged inside the placement plate 6, a fixing assembly 8 is arranged between the culture dish 5 and the placement plate 6, a box door 3 is connected to one side of the water tank 1, and a movable support mechanism 4 is connected to the bottom of the box body 2.

[0026] Specifically, the fixing assembly 8 includes a fixing cylinder 81, a first spring 82, a connecting rod 83, a top block 84, a pressing block 85 and a moving member 86. The inside of the placement plate 6 and both sides of the culture dish 5 are connected with the fixing cylinder 81, the inside of the fixing cylinder 81 is plugged with the connecting rod 83, the first spring 82 is connected between the fixing cylinder 81 and the connecting rod 83, the end of the connecting rod 83 away from the fixing cylinder 81 is connected with the top block 84, the side of the top block 84 close to the culture dish 5 is provided with a pressing block 85, and the moving member 86 is provided between the top block 84 and the pressing block 85.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the top block 84 is first moved up, and the movement of the top block 84 drives the connecting rod 83 to move inside the fixed tube 81, and the movement of the connecting rod 83 drives the first spring 82 to stretch, and then the culture dish 5 is placed on the placement plate 6, and then the moving member 86 is used to drive the clamping block 85 to move. When the clamping block 85 moves to the end position of the culture dish 5, the top block 84 is released, and the first spring 82 loses the external force and returns to its original state, driving the connecting rod 83 to move downward, and the connecting rod 83 moves downward to drive the top block 84 to move downward, and the top block 84 moves downward to drive the clamping block 85 to move downward to perform a clamping operation on the culture dish 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the placement of the culture dish 5.

[0028] Specifically, both sides of the end of the connecting rod 83 close to the fixed cylinder 81 are connected to the limit sliders, and the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 81 is provided with a limit slide groove at the position corresponding to the limit slider.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement of the connecting rod 83 drives the limit slider to move inside the limit slide groove. When the limit slider moves to fit the side wall of the limit slide groove, the limit slider is blocked and stops moving, thereby preventing the connecting rod 83 from continuing to move and preventing the connecting rod 83 from detaching from the fixed tube 81.

[0030] Specifically, the moving member 86 includes an end block 861, a fixed screw 862, a rotating nut 863, a moving block 864, a second spring 865 and an insertion rod 866. The end of the pressing block 85 close to the top block 84 is connected to the insertion rod 866, and the end of the insertion rod 866 close to the top block 84 is connected to the moving block 864. The upper ends of the top block 84 are connected to the end blocks 861, and the fixed screw 862 is connected between the two end blocks 861. A through hole is provided on the moving block 864 and at a position corresponding to the fixed screw 862.

The rotating nut 863 is connected to the outer wall of the fixed screw 862 and at the side of the moving block 864 away from the second spring 865.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating nut 863 is turned to rotate and move along the fixed screw 862. After the rotating nut 863 moves away from the moving block 864, the second spring 865 loses the external force and returns to its original state, driving the moving block 864 to move. The movement of the moving block 864 drives the insertion rod 866 to move. The movement of the insertion rod 866 drives the clamping block 85 to move, which makes it easy to adjust the position of the clamping block 85, and then makes it easy to use the clamping block 85 to clamp and fix culture dishes 5 of different sizes.

[0032] When the present embodiment is used, the movable support mechanism 4 is used to move the box body 2 to the cell culture site, and then the box door 3 is opened, and then the top block 84 is moved upward, and the top block 84 moves to drive the connecting rod 83 to move inside the fixed cylinder 81, and the connecting rod 83 moves to drive the first spring 82 to stretch, and then the culture dish 5 is placed on the placement plate 6, and the rotating nut 863 is turned to rotate and move along the fixed screw 862. After the rotating nut 863 moves away from the moving block 864, the second spring 865 loses the external force and returns to its original state, driving the moving block 864 to move, and the moving block 864 moves to drive the insertion rod 866 to move, and the insertion rod 866 moves. The pressing block 85 is driven to move. When the pressing block 85 moves to the end position of the culture dish 5, the top block 84 is released, and the first spring 82 loses the external force and returns to its original state, driving the connecting rod 83 to move downward. The connecting rod 83 moves downward to drive the top block 84 to move downward. The top block 84 moves downward to drive the pressing block 85 to move downward to press the culture dish 5 to ensure the stability of the placement of the culture dish 5. Then, the cell culture material is placed in the culture dish 5, and then the box door 3 is closed. The temperature and humidity inside the box body 2 are adjusted by the combined action of the adjustment mechanism 7 and the water tank 1 to ensure that the temperature and humidity inside the box body 2 meet the cell culture requirements.

At the same time, under the positioning operation of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove, the connecting frame 93 and the fixing frame 95 can be positioned to ensure the stability of the connection between the connecting frame 93 and the fixing frame 95.

[0037] When this embodiment is used, the end plate 91 is installed on the top of the water tank 1, and the connecting frame 93 is moved to the top of the fixing frame 95 under the action of the fixing rod 94, so that the filter screen plate 92 can be installed inside the water tank 1. The operator then opens the end cover on the top of the water injection pipe on the end plate 91, and injects cell culture water into the water tank 1 through the water injection pipe. The filter screen plate 92 can be used to filter the injected water to ensure the cleanliness of the water entering the regulating mechanism 7, and then the cleanliness of the cell culture water sprayed into the box body 2 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the cell culture effect.
