[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 part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of 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.

[0025] It should also be understood that the terms used in this utility model specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model. As used in this utility model specification and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0026] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a cell suspension refrigeration and shaking device provided in an embodiment of the utility model can be used in the scenario of cell suspension subpackaging and shaking, so as to effectively prevent cells or sediments in the liquid from settling at the bottom, mix the liquid more evenly, improve the mixing efficiency, and ensure that the temperature is stable within the set range, while reducing the generation of condensed water.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 3 A cell suspension refrigeration and shaking device is characterized in that it includes: a base 10, a box body 20, a semiconductor refrigeration structure 30, a power source 40, a transmission mechanism 50, a temperature sensor, a temperature controller 60 and a controller 70, the temperature sensor is built in the box body 20, and the temperature sensor is connected to the temperature controller 60; the temperature controller 60 is connected to the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30; the transmission mechanism 50 is connected to the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30; and the transmission mechanism 50 is connected to the base 10; the box body 20 is connected to the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30, and the controller 70 is connected to the power source 40; the power source 40 is connected to the transmission mechanism 50, and a cell suspension bag is placed in the box body 20 parallel to the bottom of the box body 20.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the device is powered on, the temperature sensor will monitor the temperature inside the box body 20. If the temperature is higher than the preset temperature, the temperature sensor will trigger the relay to output a signal to the thermostat 60, and the thermostat 60 will drive the power supply to transmit power to the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30. After the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30 is powered on, it uses the movement of electrons to transfer heat from one side to the other side; then, the heat is dissipated through the heat pipe and the cooling fan to achieve a cooling effect. If the temperature is equal to the preset temperature, the temperature sensor will disconnect the relay output signal, and under the drive of the thermostat 60, the power supply will disconnect the power supply to the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30, causing the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30 to stop working to maintain the device at the target temperature level.

[0030] See also Figure 2 , by default, the box body 20 will turn to the right limit position. The preset mixing program can be run by pressing the button on the controller 70. The controller 70 will continue to send a left turn command to the driver, and the driver will continue to send a pulse signal to the power source 40 to make the power source 40 turn left until the left limit sensor detects a signal. Then, the controller 70 will continue to send a right turn command to the driver, and the driver will continue to send a pulse signal to the power source 40 to make the power source 40 turn right until the right limit sensor detects a signal. Such a reciprocating cycle allows the mixing movement of the cell suspension in the cell suspension bag in the box body 20 to continue.

[0031] The liquid bag is horizontally reciprocated at a large inclination angle (±30°) and the center of gravity is reciprocated back and forth, which can effectively avoid sinking to the bottom and ensure the density consistency of the packaging; in addition, the cell suspension bag is placed in a closed box body 20 for closed-loop control, and the temperature control is accurate, which can well maintain cell activity during large-volume and long-term packaging.

[0032] In one embodiment, see Figure 3The box body 20 is provided with a cavity for placing a cell suspension bag; the lower end surface of the box body 20 is connected to the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30.

[0033] In one embodiment, the side walls and the upper end surface of the cavity are respectively connected with thermal insulation foam.

[0034] In this embodiment, the top surface of the box body 20 is a door panel, which is provided with a handle for opening the door panel. Insulating foam is attached between the other surfaces and the top surface to reduce the heat exchange between the box body 20 and the outside world, thereby preventing the generation of condensed water and affecting cell activity.

[0035] In one embodiment, the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30 includes a shell with an opening at the upper end, a semiconductor refrigeration plate, a heat pipe, a heat sink and a fan; the semiconductor refrigeration plate, the heat pipe, the heat sink and the fan are respectively installed in the shell, and the opening of the shell is connected to the lower end surface of the box body 20.

[0036] The housing is fixed on the base 10 to ensure the stability and sealing of the housing. The housing is usually the outer shell of the device, which is used to protect the internal components and provide external support.

[0037] The semiconductor cooling chip is an important component for providing cooling effect. Generally, the semiconductor cooling chip should be installed at a suitable position inside the shell to ensure that it can effectively reduce the temperature. The specific installation position is close to the opening, close to the lower end surface of the box body 20.

[0038] The function of the heat pipe is to transfer heat from the heat source to the heat sink and fan for heat dissipation. The heat pipe is installed between the semiconductor cooling fin and the heat sink to ensure that the heat can be effectively transferred to the cooling system.

[0039] The heat sink is installed at the end of the heat pipe to diffuse and dissipate the heat. The heat sink is usually designed with a large area and good heat dissipation performance to ensure that the heat is effectively transferred to the surrounding environment.

[0040] The fan is installed near the heat sink to accelerate air flow and enhance heat dissipation. The fan can be fixed directly to the heat sink or installed on a bracket to provide better air circulation.

[0041] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The transmission mechanism 50 includes a first synchronous wheel 51, a synchronous belt 52, a rotating shaft 53 and a second synchronous wheel 54. The power source 40 includes an output shaft, which is connected to the first synchronous wheel 51; the second synchronous wheel 54 is connected to the rotating shaft 53; the other end of the rotating shaft 53 passes through the shell and is connected to the shell; the second synchronous wheel 54 is connected to the first synchronous wheel 51 through the synchronous belt 52.

[0042] The transmission mechanism 50 further includes a housing, in which the first synchronous wheel 51 , the synchronous belt 52 and the second synchronous wheel 54 are built.

[0043] When the power source 40 (output shaft) provides power, the first synchronous wheel 51 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the output shaft. The synchronous belt 52 transmits the movement of the first synchronous wheel 51 to the second synchronous wheel 54, thereby driving the rotating shaft 53 to rotate. The other end of the rotating shaft 53 passes through the shell and is connected to the shell, so when the rotating shaft 53 rotates, the shell will also rotate, and when the shell rotates, the box body 20 will also rotate, so that the cell suspension in the box body 20 is shaken evenly.

[0044] Specifically, the other end of the rotating shaft 53 is connected to the housing through a bearing, ensuring that the rotating shaft 53 can rotate freely inside the housing while maintaining the structural stability of the housing. The bearing can reduce the friction between the rotating shaft 53 and the housing and support the rotation of the rotating shaft 53, thereby achieving smooth movement. Overall, such a design enables the output of the power source 40 to drive the housing to rotate through the transmission mechanism 50 to complete the corresponding functional operation.

[0045] In one embodiment, a left limit sensor and a right limit sensor are installed on the power source 40 , and the left limit sensor and the right limit sensor are connected to the controller 70 , respectively.

[0046] In this embodiment, the left limit sensor and the right limit sensor are mainly limit switches.

[0047] The left limit sensor and the right limit sensor are installed on the power source 40, and their function is to detect the rotation position of the power source 40. Specifically, when the power source 40 (which may be the output shaft) rotates to a specific position, the left limit sensor and the right limit sensor will detect this position and send a signal to the controller 70. For example, when the power source 40 rotates to the left limit position, the left limit sensor will detect this position and send a signal to the controller 70 to instruct the controller 70 to stop or change the movement direction of the power source 40. Similarly, when the power source 40 rotates to the right limit position, the right limit sensor will send a signal to the controller 70 to instruct the controller 70 to stop or change the movement direction of the power source 40.

[0048] In this way, through the position detection of the left limit sensor and the right limit sensor, the controller 70 can ensure that the power source 40 moves within a specific range and avoids exceeding the set limit position.

[0049] In one embodiment, the controller 70 is connected to the power source 40 via a driver.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The base 10 is provided with a power input port 80 .

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The power input port 80 is connected to the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30 and the power source 40 respectively.

[0052] In this embodiment, the power source 40 includes a stepping motor.

[0053] The above-mentioned cell suspension refrigeration and shaking device is provided with a base 10, a box body 20, a semiconductor refrigeration structure 30, a power source 40, a transmission mechanism 50, a temperature sensor, a temperature controller 60 and a controller 70. The temperature in the box body 20 is detected by the temperature sensor, and the temperature is controlled by the semiconductor refrigeration structure 30. In addition, the power source 40 and the transmission mechanism 50 are used to drive the box body 20 to rotate, so that the cell suspension bag is horizontally reciprocated at a large inclination angle. This effectively prevents cells or sediments in the liquid from being deposited at the bottom, mixes the liquid more evenly, improves the mixing efficiency, ensures that the temperature is stable within a set range, and reduces the generation of condensed water.

[0054] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
