Limit grooves 8 are provided on the tops of the two slide rails 3, and the ends of the two limit blocks 7 close to each other are slidably connected to the two limit grooves 8 respectively. The front and back sides of the culture dish 1 are fixedly connected. The cross bar 9 and the right ends of the two cross bars 9 are each provided with a splicing assembly 10. Before use, according to the culture requirements, the required number of culture dishes 1 are spliced ​​together by engaging the card block 102 in the splicing assembly 10 with the card slot 106. When the cells have grown a full support body, the new culture support 4 is moved along the slide rail 3 to the front end of the previous culture support 4, so that the culture layer 43 is connected to the previous culture layer 43, and the limit block 7 is lowered along the guide rod 6 and abutted against the front end of the slide 41, ensuring the stability of the connection of the culture layer 43, allowing the cells to migrate, proliferate, and differentiate, thereby improving the culture efficiency.

[0022] Further, such as Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the culture support 4 includes a pair of slides 41, and the two slides 41 are slidably installed inside the two slide rails 3 respectively. The sides of the two slides 41 that are close to each other are fixedly connected with a connecting plate 42, and the bottoms of the two connecting plates 42 are fixedly connected with several culture layers 43. The tops of the two limit blocks 7 are threadedly connected with fixing bolts 71, and gaskets 72 are provided between the two fixing bolts 71 and the limit blocks 7. The ends of the two limit blocks 7 that are close to each other are respectively abutted against the front ends of the two slides 41, and the connecting plates 42 are driven by the slides 41 to move along the slide rails 3, and the connecting plates 42 drive the several culture layers 43 at the bottom to be connected with the upper culture layer 43, and the guide rod 6 is moved. The guide rod 6 drives the limit block 7 to move along the guide groove 5, and the limit block 7 is rotated to one side of the limit groove 8 and is lowered along the guide rod 6. The end of the limit block 7 passes through the limit groove 8 and abuts against the front end of the slide 41. The fixing bolt 71 is rotated to fix the limit block 7, and the connection between the culture layers 43 is made more stable by squeezing the slide 41.

When splicing the culture dishes 1, the culture dishes 1 are moved along the cross bar 9 of the previous culture dish 1 by squeezing the card block 102. When the two culture dishes 1 are tightly fitted together, the card block 102 in the previous culture dish 1 pops out from the slide 101 under the action of the spring 103 and extends into the card slot 106 in the next culture dish 1. The two culture dishes 1 are spliced ​​together by the card block 102 and the card slot 106. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the practicality of the device is improved.
