However, the design of the stirrer blades used in the prior art will cause damage to fragile cells at higher rotation speeds, and the length of the driving rod of the current stirrer cannot be adjusted. When facing stirrer containers of different sizes, it is impossible to adaptively adjust the depth of the stirrer container, reducing the practicability of the stirrer. Content of the Utility Model

[0024] Four groups of adjusting knobs 12, first threaded rod parts 13, eccentric cylinders 14, blade connecting rods 15 and stirring blades 16 are provided, and the four groups of adjusting knobs 12, first threaded rod parts 13, eccentric cylinders 14, blade connecting rods 15 and stirring blades 16 are evenly distributed on the main disk body 11. One end of the first threaded rod part 13 is connected to the adjusting knob 12, and the other end of the first threaded rod part 13 is connected to the eccentric cylinder 14.
[0025] The first threaded rod part 13 is connected to the main disk body 11 by threads, the main disk body 11 is provided with a groove at the position corresponding to the eccentric cylinder 14, and the axis line of the eccentric cylinder 14 is different from the axis line of the first threaded rod part 13.
[0026] The side surface of the eccentric cylinder 14 contacts one end of the blade connecting rod 15, and the other end of the blade connecting rod 15 is connected to the stirring blade 16.
[0027] The drive rod component group 02 includes an outer sleeve rod 21. Inside the outer sleeve rod 21, an anti-slip contact ring 22 is provided. On one side of the anti-slip contact ring 22, a second threaded rod member 23 is provided. Outside the second threaded rod member 23, a collar member 24 is provided. At one end of the collar member 24, an upper end ring cylinder 25 is provided. Inside the collar member 24, a lead screw member 26 is provided.
[0028] At one end of the outer sleeve rod 21, an annular groove is provided at a position corresponding to the second threaded rod member 23, and the outer sleeve rod 21 contacts the second threaded rod member 23 through the annular groove.
[0029] The bottom of the anti-slip contact ring 22 contacts the outer sleeve rod 21. The collar member 24 is connected to the lead screw member 26 through a nut pair. The upper end ring cylinder 25 is connected to the outer sleeve rod 21 through a bearing. The upper end ring cylinder 25 is connected to the collar member 24. The upper end ring cylinder 25 is in sliding contact with the lead screw member 26. One end of the outer sleeve rod 21 away from the collar member 24 is connected to the working end of the stirrer drive motor. One end of the lead screw member 26 away from the outer sleeve rod 21 is connected to the main disk body 11.
[0030] Working principle: During use, when adjusting the angle of the stirring blade 16, by controlling the rotation of the adjustment knob 12, the rotation of the adjustment knob 12 drives the first threaded rod member 13 to rotate. While the first threaded rod member 13 rotates and moves up and down through the thread, it drives the eccentric cylinder 14 to rotate. Since the axes of the first threaded rod member 13 and the eccentric cylinder 14 are different, the eccentric cylinder 14 will release the contact with one end of the blade connecting rod 15. At this time, the blade connecting rod 15 and the stirring blade 16 can be controlled to adjust the angle, and thus the angle of contact with the medium during stirring can be changed, achieving the effect of adjusting the stirring amplitude according to different cell conditions. After adjusting to the appropriate angle, by controlling the reverse rotation of the adjustment knob 12, the eccentric cylinder 14 is made to contact one end of the blade connecting rod 15 again. After the eccentric cylinder 14 contacts the blade connecting rod 15, the eccentric cylinder 14 will squeeze one end of the blade connecting rod 15 to lock the position of the blade connecting rod 15. In the designed drive rod component group 02, by rotating the second threaded rod member 23, the second threaded rod member 23 moves up and down through the thread of the collar member 24, so that the anti-slip contact ring 22 releases the contact with the outer sleeve rod 21. At this time, the collar member 24 can be controlled to rotate. The collar member 24 will drive the lead screw member 26 to move up and down through the nut pair, and thus the lead screw member 26 extends or retracts. When the collar member 24 rotates, the second threaded rod member 23 will slide in the arc-shaped groove of the outer sleeve rod 21. When the lead screw member 26 is adjusted to the appropriate position, control the second threaded rod member 23 to reverse rotate, so that the bottom of the anti-slip contact ring 22 contacts the outer sleeve rod 21, and through the friction effect, the position between the lead screw member 26 and the outer sleeve rod 21 is locked.
