[0029] See also Figures 1 to 4 The above-mentioned gas-tight docking structure suitable for automated cell culture includes: a first docking structure and a second docking structure, the first docking structure includes a first joint 4, a connecting tube 5 and a guide tube 6; the second docking structure includes a second joint 7, the connecting tube 5 is connected to one end of the first joint 4, the guide tube 6 is installed at the outer end of the connecting tube 5, and the connecting tube 5 is provided with a through hole for the second joint 7 to be inserted.

[0030] The second joint 7 can be connected and disconnected with the connecting pipe 5 to achieve quick connection or disconnection of the gas-tight connection structure.

[0031] In one embodiment, the connecting tube 5 comprises a silicone tube.

[0032] In addition, the guide tube 6 comprises a guide aluminum tube, and the connecting tube 5 is a silicone tube, which is flexible and is limited in its deflection range by the guide aluminum tube during docking. In this way, the silicone tube and the second joint 7 can be smoothly docked without being concentric.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The above-mentioned first docking structure also includes a first mounting seat, on which a first L-shaped through groove is provided, and one end of the first L-shaped through groove is connected to the first joint 4.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The other end of the first L-shaped through groove is connected to the pagoda joint 2.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 A sealing gasket 3 is installed between the first joint 4 and the side wall of the first L-shaped through groove.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The guide tube 6 is connected to the first mounting base 1 .

[0037] Specifically, a first L-shaped through groove is provided on the first mounting seat, and this through groove is a part of the first joint 4. It provides a fixed position to ensure the stable connection of the first joint 4, and further improves the connection structure by connecting to the pagoda joint 2.

[0038] A sealing gasket 3 is installed between the first joint 4 and the side wall of the first L-shaped through groove. The function of this gasket is to ensure gas sealing and prevent gas leakage, thereby maintaining the stability of the cell culture environment.

[0039] The guide tube 6 is connected to the first mounting base 1 , which can ensure the stability and accuracy of the guide tube 6 during use and effectively guide the docking of the second joint 7 .

[0040] The first mounting seat and the first L-shaped through groove provide a stable connection point, ensuring the firm connection between the first joint 4 and the connecting tube 5 to avoid loosening or falling off.

A second L-shaped through groove is provided on the second mounting base 8, one end of which is connected to the second connector 7, providing a fixed position to ensure the stable connection of the second connector 7. The second mounting base 8 and the second L-shaped through groove provide a stable connection point to ensure the firm connection of the second connector 7 and the connecting pipe 5 to avoid loosening or falling off.

[0048] The second joint 7 is designed in a conical shape, and a certain taper is set near one end of the connecting tube 5. This design helps the first joint 4 and the second joint 7 to dock smoothly, compensates for the coaxiality error caused by manufacturing and installation, and is also conducive to achieving good sealing performance of carbon dioxide gas. The conical design can form a closer contact with the connecting tube 5, effectively improving the gas sealing effect. The conical design and certain taper of the second joint 7 help to achieve good sealing performance, especially in terms of gas (such as carbon dioxide) sealing, which can effectively prevent gas leakage and maintain the stability of the cell culture environment.

[0049] In one embodiment, the first mounting seat can remain stationary in a fixed position, and the second mounting base 8 can be installed on a guide rail structure, so as to move along the guide rail toward or away from the first mounting seat to achieve the docking and separation of the connecting pipe 5 and the second joint 7, and achieve repeated docking and disconnection operations. The device has a compact structure, reliable airtightness, and simple operation.

[0050] The above-mentioned gas-tight docking structure suitable for automated cell culture is provided with a first docking structure and a second docking structure. The first docking structure includes a first joint 4, a connecting tube 5 and a guide tube 6; the second docking structure includes a second joint 7.
