Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cell culture, and in particular relates to a temperature control device for cell culture. Background Art

[0002] The temperature control equipment for cell culture mainly refers to the cell culture incubator, which is a laboratory equipment specially designed to maintain the growth environment of cells, tissues and microorganisms. The cell culture incubator can usually accurately control the temperature to simulate the human body temperature, and the high-precision temperature control system can ensure minimal temperature fluctuations and maintain the best growth environment for cells. In order to prevent the evaporation of the culture medium, the cell culture incubator usually maintains a relative humidity of **95%**. The internal structure of the cell culture incubator is reasonably designed, and it is usually equipped with adjustable culture racks, movable culture plate racks, etc., which are convenient for users to layout and operate according to experimental needs. In summary, the temperature control equipment for cell culture is mainly the cell culture incubator, which provides cells with a stable and suitable growth environment through precise temperature control and constant humidity system.

[0003] Temperature control equipment for cell culture plays a vital role in the cell culture process. Temperature control equipment ensures that cells grow and reproduce under optimal conditions by providing a precise and stable temperature control environment. Because cells are very sensitive to temperature changes, slight temperature changes may affect the growth rate and activity of cells, and even cause cell death. The temperature control equipment uses a precise temperature control system to maintain the culture environment within the set temperature range, thereby further improving the cell cultivation effect. Temperature fluctuations are not conducive to cell culture and may cause cell metabolic disorders and unstable growth. Temperature control equipment uses advanced temperature control systems and efficient heating elements to avoid excessive temperature fluctuations and repeated heating and cooling, ensuring the stability of the culture environment. Proper humidity control is equally important for cell culture. Temperature control equipment is usually equipped with a constant humidity system that can maintain appropriate humidity in the culture room, which is conducive to cell growth and health. Temperature control equipment usually has good sealing and strict disinfection. Toxic procedures can greatly reduce the risk of contamination and cross-contamination, which is crucial for the accuracy and reliability of cell culture experiments. By maintaining stable environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and gas concentration, temperature control equipment provides an ideal microenvironment for cell growth and metabolism, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of experiments and provide strong support for research in the fields of drug development, vaccine production, etc. In summary, the temperature control equipment for cell culture ensures that cells grow and reproduce under optimal conditions by providing a precise and stable temperature control environment and other auxiliary functions, providing an important guarantee for the success of cell culture experiments. The problem with the above technology is that in the process of culturing cells in a temperature-controlled incubator, a culture box is required to place and store the cell storage tubes. However, after the culture box is docked with the placement plate, there is no component that can limit the culture box. Therefore, the culture box is prone to falling due to external force, thereby reducing the safety of cell culture. Utility Model Content

After the force is exerted, the traction rod rotates at the connection point with the rotating shaft of the square block. During the rotation, the traction rod contacts the inner wall of the push rod and drives the push rod to move. During the movement, the push rod drives the positioning rod to move and compresses the spring.

A movable hole 15 is provided on the right side of the fixed block 4. The right side of the transmission rod 804 passes through the movable hole 15 and extends to the right side of the fixed block 4. By providing the movable hole 15, the movable hole 15 prevents the transmission rod 804 from contacting the inner wall of the fixed block 4 during movement, thereby generating friction.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model:

[0025] When in use, according to the opening trajectory of the movable hole 15, the transmission rod 804 is pulled upward to move. During the movement, the transmission rod 804 drives the movable block 803 to move and contact the surface of the traction rod 802 and exert force on the traction rod 802. After the force is exerted, the traction rod 802 rotates through the connection point with the rotating shaft of the square block 801. During the rotation, the traction rod 802 contacts the inner wall of the push rod 702 and drives the push rod 702 to move. During the movement, the push rod 702 drives the positioning rod 701 to move and compresses the spring 703. After the positioning rod 701 moves to the appropriate position, the culture The box 3 is docked with the placement plate 2. During the docking process, the plug-in block 5 needs to fit into the inner cavity of the fixed block 4. After the docking is completed, the transmission rod 804 is released, and the movable block 803 will fall down by itself to reset. During the resetting process, the movable block 803 will cause the traction rod 802 to lose the force state. After the traction rod 802 loses the force state, the elastic force of the spring 703 rebounds and quickly drives the positioning rod 701 to insert into the inner cavity of the positioning groove 14. After the positioning rod 701 is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning groove 14, the mutual cooperation of the plug-in block 5 and the fixed block 4 can achieve the effect of quickly and stably connecting the culture box 3 to the placement plate 2.
