Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a culture box, in particular to a fully automatic culture box for stem cells with a uniform heat conduction structure, belonging to the technical field of cell culture. Background Art
[0002] Stem cells are a type of multipotent cell with the ability to self-replicate. Under certain conditions, they can differentiate into a variety of functional cells. According to the developmental stage of the stem cells, they are divided into embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Stem cells are a type of undifferentiated, immature cell that has the potential to regenerate various tissues, organs and the human body. The medical community calls them "universal cells." Stem cells are cells with the potential to proliferate and differentiate. They have the ability to self-renew and replicate, and can produce highly differentiated functional cells. Therefore, it is often necessary to use a fully automatic incubator to culture stem cells in vitro, and it is particularly important to observe their proliferation and growth.
[0003] For example, the stem cell culture box disclosed in publication number CN214529071U is convenient for removing culture medium. It connects three drawers by sliding in layers through three partitions, so that the culture medium can be stored in different categories, managed and controlled in layers, and the culture medium is prevented from interfering with each other and causing qualitative changes due to storage together. It has certain practical effects, and the temperature in a single drawer is uniformly regulated by a temperature regulating tube and a through groove. A single drawer can be opened and closed frequently without affecting the temperature in other drawers through a cover plate that opens and closes separately on the drawer. However, when this type of incubator is in use, since the temperature regulating tube is located on one side of the incubator, the temperature near the temperature regulating tube inside the incubator will be too high when the temperature is adjusted, which can easily cause the cells in the nearby culture dishes to die due to heat, and this heating method causes uneven heating inside the incubator, which can easily cause cell culture failure.

[0028] The culture dish removal component 5 is used to remove the cultured cell culture dish from the heat-conducting tube 410. It is arranged inside the full-automatic incubator body 1, and includes a partition 51 fixedly connected to the inside of the full-automatic incubator body 1, a screw 52 rotatably connected to the inside of the full-automatic incubator body 1, and a moving block 53 threadedly sleeved on the surface of the screw 52. A ball head push rod 55 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving block 53, and the ball head push rod 55 is slidably connected to the partition 51. The bottom surface of the heat-conducting tube 410 is slidably connected to a ball head push rod 56. Embodiment 2
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in addition to all the technical features of the first embodiment, this embodiment also includes:
[0030] A temperature sensor 48 is fixedly installed inside the water bath 41 to monitor the water temperature in the water bath 41 .
[0031] The interior of the water bath 41 is symmetrically rotatably connected to a rotating rod 44, and the surface of the rotating rod 44 is equidistantly fixedly connected to stirring blades 47. During the heating process, the two rotating rods 44 are rotated, thereby driving the stirring blades 47 to rotate, so that the water in the water bath 41 can be stirred, and the water heating can be made more uniform. Therefore, during the culture process, the water temperature can be evenly heated to the cells in the culture dish through the heat conductive tube 410.
[0032] The ends of the two rotating rods 44 extend to the outside of the full-automatic incubator body 1 and are connected to the pulley 45 arranged on the outside of the full-automatic incubator body 1. The two pulleys 45 are connected by a belt 46. An L-shaped support plate 42 is fixedly connected to the surface of the full-automatic incubator body 1. A motor 43 is fixedly connected to the surface of the L-shaped support plate 42. The motor 43 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating rods 44. During the heating process, the motor 43 is started, and the motor 43 runs to drive one of the rotating rods 44 to rotate. The rotating rod 44 rotates and then drives the rotating rod 44 to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the belt 46 and the pulley 45, which can then drive the stirring blade 47 to rotate.

The ball head push rod 56 moves upward and then can push the bottom plate 57 upward, so that the culture dish can be pushed out.
[0036] Working principle: when in use, open the door 2, and then place the culture dishes containing stem cells in the heat-conducting tube 410 in turn, then inject clean water into the water bath 41, at this time, set the temperature monitoring range of the temperature sensor 48 through the control panel, and then start the heating wire 49 to heat the clean water. During the heating process, start the motor 43, the motor 43 runs and then drives one of the rotating rods 44 to rotate, the rotating rod 44 rotates and then drives the rotating rod 44 to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the belt 46 and the pulley 45, and then can drive the stirring blade 47 to rotate, so that the water in the water bath 41 can be stirred, and then the water heating can be more uniform, so that during the culture process, the water temperature can be evenly heated to the cells in the culture dish through the heat-conducting tube 410, and when the temperature reaches the temperature monitoring range of the temperature sensor 48, the stirring blade 47 can be driven to rotate. After the control range is reached, the heating wire 49 is controlled to stop heating, and then the cells continue to be cultured. During the culture process, when the water temperature in the water bath 41 is low, the heating wire 49 can be automatically controlled by the controller to heat, so as to ensure that the water bath 41 is in a constant temperature state. After the culture is completed, the user turns the hand wheel 54, the hand wheel 54 rotates and then drives the screw 52 to rotate, the screw 52 rotates and then drives the moving block 53 to move, the moving block 53 moves and then drives the ball push rod 55 to follow the movement, when the ball push rod 55 contacts the ball push rod 56, the ball push rod 55 continues to move, the ball push rod 55 will squeeze the ball push rod 56 to move upward, the ball push rod 56 moves upward and then can push the bottom plate 57 to move upward, so that the culture dish can be pushed out of the heat conductive tube 410, so that the culture dish can be taken out conveniently.
