[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other unless there is any conflict.

[0025] Some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] Combine Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-layer cell culture shaker, including: a main body mechanism 100 and a constant temperature mechanism 200.

[0028] Among them, the main mechanism 100 includes a box body 110, a sealing cover 120 hingedly mounted on the box body 110, a guide rail 130 symmetrically fixed on the inner wall of the box body 110, a placement rack 140 arranged in the inner cavity of the box body 110 and slidingly engaged on the guide rail 130 at both ends, an extension plate with one end fixed to the end of the placement rack 140 and the other end extending out of the box body 110, a motor 160 installed on one side of the box body 110, a circular seat 170 fixed on the shaft of the motor 160, an adjusting member 180 installed in the inner cavity of the circular seat 170 and extending out of the circular seat 170, and an eccentric protrusion 190 installed on the adjusting member 180.

[0029] The box body 110 is used to install other components, the sealing cover 120 is used to seal the box body 110 to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the inner cavity of the box body 110, and the guide rail 130 is used to install the placement rack 140 and limit the movement of the placement rack 140 to ensure the stability of the placement rack 140 during reciprocating movement.

[0030] The placement rack 140 is used to place cell culture tubes, ensure the stability of the cell culture tubes, and drive them to shake. The placement rack 140 includes a rectangular plate 141 set in the inner cavity of the box 110 and slidably engaged on the guide rail 130 at both ends, and a bracket 142 fixed in an array at the bottom end of the rectangular plate 141. The rectangular plate 141 is used to fix the bracket 142, and the bracket 142 is used to support the cell culture tubes.

[0031] One end of the extension plate is fixed on the rectangular plate 141 , and the other end extends out of the box body 110 . The motor 160 is used to install the circular seat 170 and drive the circular seat 170 to rotate.

[0032] A groove 171 is provided at the top of the circular seat 170, and the adjusting member 180 includes a threaded rod 181 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the groove 171 and a knob 182 provided on one side of the circular seat 170 and fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 181. At the same time, the eccentric protrusion 190 includes a threaded sleeve 191 embedded in the groove 171 and a cylinder 192 fixed at the top of the threaded sleeve 191. The threaded rod 181 passes through the threaded sleeve 191, and the threaded rod 181 and the threaded sleeve 191 engage with each other. When the user rotates the threaded rod 181 through the knob 182, the threaded rod 181 rotates to drive the threaded sleeve 191 to move, and the threaded sleeve 191 moves to drive the cylinder 192 to move, thereby adjusting the relative position between the cylinder 192 and the center of the circular seat 170. The closer the cylinder 192 is to the center of the circular seat 170, the shorter the reciprocating distance of the extension plate, that is, the smaller the amplitude of the placement rack 140, and vice versa.

[0033] In addition, a waist-shaped hole 151 is opened at the end of the extension plate 150, and the cylinder 192 is embedded in the waist-shaped hole 151, so that when the motor 160 rotates, it drives the circular seat 170 to rotate, and the rotation of the circular seat 170 drives the eccentric protrusion 190 to rotate. The eccentric protrusion 190 rotates in the waist-shaped hole 151, driving the extension plate 150 to move back and forth, that is, driving the placement rack 140 to move back and forth, thereby vibrating the cell culture tube on the placement rack 140.

[0034] The constant temperature mechanism 200 is used to ensure that the cell culture tube is in a constant temperature environment, including an insulation frame 210 fixed on the inner wall of the box 110, a temperature sensor 220 installed on the inner bottom wall of the insulation frame 210, a pump 230 installed at the bottom end of the insulation frame 210 and connected to the inner cavity of the insulation frame 210, and a heating component 240 installed at the bottom end of the insulation frame 210 with one end connected to the pump 230 and the other end extending into the inner cavity of the insulation frame 210.

[0035] The inner cavity of the heat preservation frame 210 is filled with water, which can keep the water warm. The temperature sensor 220 is used to monitor the temperature of the water in the heat preservation frame 210 in real time.

[0036] The inlet of the pump 230 is connected to the inner cavity of the heat preservation frame 210 through the water inlet pipe 231, and is used to pump water out of the heat preservation frame 210 and send it into the heating component 240.

[0037] The heating assembly 240 is used to heat and increase the temperature of water, and includes a shell 241 fixed to the bottom end of the insulation frame 210, a connecting pipe 242 that is arranged through the shell 241 and one end of which is connected to the outlet of the pump 230 and the other end extends into the inner cavity of the insulation frame 210, and an electric heating pipe 243 that is installed in an array in the inner cavity of the shell 241 and is sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe 242. When water passes through the connecting pipe 242 under the action of the pump 230, the electric heating pipe 243 is started to heat the water in the connecting pipe 242 to increase its temperature, and then the water is sent back to the insulation frame 210 through the connecting pipe 242 to form a cycle.

[0038] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: when in use, the sealing cover 120 is opened, the cell culture tube is placed in the bracket 142, and the sealing cover 120 is closed. At this time, the bottom of the cell culture tube is immersed in the water in the heat preservation frame 210, the pump 230 is started, the water in the heat preservation frame 210 is extracted and pumped into the connecting pipe 242, and at the same time the electric heating pipe 243 is started to heat the water in the connecting pipe 242 to increase its temperature. The heated water is then sent back into the heat preservation frame 210 through the connecting pipe 242 to form a cycle. At the same time, the temperature sensor 220 monitors the temperature of the water in the heat preservation box 110 in real time, and turns off the pump body after the water temperature reaches the set value, so as to ensure that the water temperature in the heat preservation frame 210 is stable, thereby playing a constant temperature role for the cell culture tube. The amplitude is adjusted according to the actual situation of the cells. The knob 182 is turned to drive the threaded rod 181 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 181 drives the threaded sleeve 191 to move. The movement of the threaded sleeve 191 drives the cylinder 192 to move. The relative position between the cylinder 192 and the center of the circular seat 170 is adjusted. The closer the cylinder 192 is to the center of the circular seat 170, the shorter the reciprocating distance of the extension plate, that is, the smaller the amplitude of the placement rack 140. Conversely, after the adjustment is completed, the motor 160 is started. The rotation of the motor 160 drives the circular seat 170 to rotate. The rotation of the circular seat 170 drives the eccentric protrusion 190 to rotate. The rotation of the eccentric protrusion 190 drives the extension plate 150 to reciprocate, that is, drives the placement rack 140 to reciprocate, thereby realizing the vibration of the cell culture tube on the placement rack 140.

[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
