[0002] Cell culture refers to a method of simulating the in vivo environment in vitro to enable it to survive, grow, reproduce and maintain its main structure and function. Cell culture is also called cell cloning technology. The formal term in biology is cell culture technology. Cell culture is an indispensable process for both the entire bioengineering technology and one of the biological cloning technologies. Cell culture itself is a large-scale cloning of cells. Cell culture technology can transform a cell into a simple single cell or a multi-cell with very little differentiation through a large number of cultures. This is an indispensable part of cloning technology, and cell culture itself is a clone of cells. Cell culture technology is an important and commonly used technology in cell biology research methods. Through cell culture, a large number of cells can be obtained, and cell signal transduction, cell anabolism, cell growth and proliferation, etc. can be studied. Cell culture usually uses a special incubator to culture cells in a culture dish. It has a specific culture environment and good culture effect.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN220597528U3 discloses a cell culture incubator that is convenient for taking out cell culture dishes. The incubator reduces the impact of temperature differences on cells by coordinating a heating rod and a water tank, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device. However, the incubator still uses a conventional tray to store culture dishes. After the culture dish in front is taken, the culture dish in the back often needs to be manually moved forward in advance for the next use, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, a cell culture box which is convenient for taking out cell culture dishes is provided to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A placement groove 33 is provided on the top of the support plate 31, and a plurality of support seats 34 for holding the culture dishes 1 that are in contact with each other and are movably installed in the placement groove 33. Slide grooves 35 are provided on the top of the support plate 31 on both sides of the placement groove 33. Slide rods 36 are fixedly installed inside the two slide grooves 35. The two slide rods 36 are both sleeved with slide sheets 37 that are compatible with the slide grooves 35 and in contact with the outer wall of the support seat 34. The outer side walls of the two slide rods 36 are sleeved with springs 38 that are fixedly installed with the side walls of the pulling door 32 and the slide sheet 37.

[0029] When in use, open the drawer door 32, place the culture dish 1 on the support seat 34, and then close the drawer door 32, so that the culture dish 1 is cultured in the incubator 2. When taking it, open the drawer door 32 and directly take the support seat 34 in the front row to complete the taking of the culture dish 1. The front row is vacant, and the spring 38 in a naturally extended state will tighten the slide 37, so that the slide 37 pushes the support seat 34 at the rear to move forward, thereby pushing the rear support seat 34 to fill the missing position in the front row, completing automatic replenishment. There is no need to manually adjust the position of the rear culture dish 1 when taking it next time. Compared with the existing tray placement method, it is more flexible and easy to use.

[0030] The support seat 34 is composed of a lower seat 341 adapted to the placement groove 33 and an upper seat 342 fixedly mounted on the top of the lower seat 341. The top of the upper seat 342 is provided with a circular cavity 343 for placing the culture dish 1. When in use, when the slide 37 pushes the support seat 34 close to the drawer door 32, adjacent support seats 34 are not in direct contact with each other, but are blocked by the buffer foam patch 344, thereby providing buffering, reducing vibration, and protecting the culture dish 1.

[0031] Furthermore, a plurality of support seats 34 are arranged side by side on the placement groove 33, and a cushioning foam patch 344 is pasted on the outer wall of the upper seat 342. When in use, the side of the drawer door 32 is bound by the track piece 311 on the guide rail 310 in the track groove 39, so that when the drawer door 32 is opened and closed, it will not shake, thereby reducing the impact on the reactants in the culture dish 1, and the drawer door 32 will not be easily opened due to the friction between the track piece 311 and the guide rail 310, causing the internal and external environments of the incubator 2 to cross, which is safe and reliable.

[0032] Furthermore, track grooves 39 are provided on two opposite surfaces of the inner wall of the incubator 2, and guide rails 310 are fixedly installed inside the two track grooves 39.
