For example, stainless steel clamps have problems such as cumbersome operation of placing culture bottles, the clamp installation requires spring fixation, and it is easy to loosen after long-term use. In addition, one size of clamp can only be adapted to one specification of culture bottle, which greatly limits the flexibility of the incubator. Moreover, traditional clamps mainly rely on the softness of the material of the clamp itself to fix the culture bottle, and flexible manual operation is required when loading and unloading the culture bottle, which is very unfriendly to the realization of automated cell culture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the embodiment disclosed in the present application relates to an automatically controlled opening and closing shaking incubator clamp, comprising a base 11, a carrier plate 12, a telescopic drive mechanism 13, and an arc-shaped clamping flap 14;

[0044] The carrier plate 12 is fixedly connected to the base 11 and is used to carry the target culture bottle;

[0045] A plurality of notches are provided between the carrier plate 12 and the base 11 and are evenly distributed along the outer edge of the carrier plate 12;

[0046] The telescopic driving mechanism 13 is fixedly disposed inside the base 11;

[0047] The arc-shaped clamping petal 14 passes through the notch and is fixedly connected to the telescopic driving mechanism 13;

[0048] The telescopic driving mechanism 13 is used to drive the arc-shaped clamping petals 14 to move radially.

[0049] In this embodiment, the telescopic drive mechanism 13 is based on a motor to provide driving force. The target culture bottle is a conventional conical bottle. The bottom of the arc-shaped clamping flap 14 is a plane, and its arc-shaped portion starting from the bottom and extending upward fits the arc-shaped bottle body of the conical culture bottle. The radial direction can be understood as the direction toward or away from the axis of the carrier 12. When the arc-shaped clamping flap 14 moves radially, the area on the carrier 12 that is used to carry the culture bottle and is restricted by the arc-shaped clamping flap 14 stretches or contracts to accommodate culture bottles of different specifications.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, the number of arc-shaped clips 14 is 3, which are evenly arranged around the carrier plate 12. The telescopic drive mechanism 13 can adopt a structure similar to a three-claw chuck, driven by a motor, and can realize the automatic opening and closing of the shaking incubator clamp, rely on automatic control of opening and closing to clamp and release the culture bottle, and can cooperate with the robot's manipulator to grab the culture bottle to realize the automation of the cell culture process. When performing cell oscillation culture, first use the automated robot gripper to place the culture bottle on the carrier plate 12, at this time, the three arc-shaped clips 14 are in an open state, and then control the motor in the telescopic drive mechanism 13 to rotate forward (or reverse), drive the three arc-shaped clips 14 to move synchronously toward the axis of the carrier plate 12, so as to achieve the fixation of the culture bottle. After fixing the culture bottle, the motor can be controlled to self-lock to ensure that the culture bottle is stable during oscillation culture. After the oscillation culture is completed, it is only necessary to control the motor to reverse (or rotate forward) to make the three arc-shaped clips 14 move synchronously in the direction away from the axis of the carrier plate 12, thereby releasing the culture bottle, and then use the automated robot gripper to transfer the culture bottle out of the incubator. In this embodiment, the three arc-shaped clips 14 can perfectly fit the bottom of the culture bottle when closed, and can better fix the culture bottle during shaking culture to avoid shaking or falling of the bottle. At the same time, by controlling the opening and closing size of the three arc-shaped clips 14 by the motor, the shaking incubator clamp can be adapted to a variety of culture bottles of different specifications, greatly increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the shaking incubator.

[0051] In one possible implementation, Figures 1 to 3 The interface edge of the base 11 is provided with a first bolt hole 111;

[0052] The edge of the carrier plate 12 is provided with a first through hole 121;

[0054] In this embodiment, the first bolt hole 111 is a conventional bolt hole, the first through hole 121 is a conventional through hole, and the first bolt is a conventional bolt.

[0055] In one possible implementation, Figure 5 , the telescopic driving mechanism 13 includes a driving member 131 and a slider 132;

[0056] The surface of the driving member 131 is provided with a slide groove 133;

[0057] The slider 132 is movably disposed in the slide groove 133;

[0058] The slider 132 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamping flap 14;

[0059] The driving member 131 is used to drive the sliding block 132 to move in the sliding groove 133 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the driving member 131 provides driving force based on a motor, and the slider 132 can move toward or away from the axis of the driving member 131 in the slide slot 133 under the driving force, and the arc-shaped clamping petal 14 can control the size of opening and closing under the drive of the slider 132. The driving member 131 can adopt a driving structure similar to a three-jaw chuck.

[0061] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the top surface of the sliding block 132 is provided with a second bolt hole 134;

[0062] The arc-shaped clip 14 is provided with a second through hole 141;

[0063] The second through hole 141 is connected to the second bolt hole 134 via a second bolt.

[0064] In this embodiment, the second bolt hole 134 is a conventional bolt hole, the second through hole 141 is a conventional through hole, and the second bolt is a conventional bolt. Figure 2 The structural diagram of the shaker incubator fixture when the carrier plate 12 is removed.

[0065] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a limiting column 135 is also provided on the top surface of the sliding block 132;

[0066] The arc-shaped clamping flap 14 is provided with a limiting hole 142;

[0067] The limiting column 135 matches the limiting hole 142;

[0068] The limiting column 135 passes through the limiting hole 142 .

[0069] In this embodiment, the limiting holes 142 on the arc-shaped clamping flaps 14 are sleeved on the limiting posts 135 of the slider 132. In specific implementation, the three arc-shaped clamping flaps 14 are respectively connected to the limiting posts 135 on the corresponding slider 132 through their respective limiting holes 142, and are respectively connected to the second bolt holes 134 on the corresponding slider 132 through three bolts passing through their respective second through holes 141, so as to achieve the fixed connection between the arc-shaped clamping flaps 14 and the slider 132.

[0070] In one possible implementation, Figures 5 to 7 The driving member 131 includes a cover plate 1311, a driving motor 1312, a flat screw disk 1313, a slide rail frame 1314, and a protective shell 1315;

[0071] The cover plate 1311 is disposed on the opening side of the protection housing 1315, and an opening for accommodating the slider 132 is disposed on its surface;

[0072] The driving motor 1312, the flat screw disk 1313, and the slide rail frame 1314 are sequentially arranged in the protective housing 1315 from bottom to top;

[0073] The upper surface of the planar screw disk 1313 is provided with a planar thread that meshes with the thread provided on the bottom surface of the slider 132;

[0074] The slide rail frame 1314 is connected to the protective housing 1315, and the slide rail therein passes through the slider 132;

[0075] The driving motor 1312 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the planar screw disk 1313 to drive the planar screw disk 1313 to rotate.

[0076] In this embodiment, the driving shaft of the driving motor 1312 is connected to the center of the lower surface of the plane screw disk 1313, and the driving shaft drives the plane screw disk 1313 to rotate when it rotates. When the plane screw disk 1313 rotates, the slider 132 engaged therewith moves along the slide rail on the slide rail frame 1314. When the slider 132 moves, it drives the arc-shaped clamping petal 14 to perform an opening and closing action. Among them, the plane thread can be a spiral thread.

[0077] It should be pointed out that the present application realizes the opening and closing control of the arc-shaped clamp 14 by controlling the driving motor 1312, thus avoiding cumbersome manual operation, realizing the loading and unloading of cell culture without manual intervention, and reducing the risks brought by manual operation. The same shaking incubator clamp can be adapted to culture bottles of various specifications, which improves flexibility and adaptability. The shaking incubator clamp with the arc-shaped clamp 14 is more stable in fixing the culture bottle, which can reduce the occurrence of problems such as shaking, bottle falling, and liquid leakage during shaking culture.

[0078] The above embodiments should not limit the present invention in any way, and any technical solutions obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent conversion shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
