[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] See also Figure 1-6 The cell culture medium nutrient solution adding tool is used to solve the problem that when multiple culture dishes need to have their nutrient solution replaced during cell culture, the operator takes out the culture dishes one by one and places them on the workbench, then replaces the nutrient solution and puts them back into the incubator and takes out the next culture dish that needs to be replaced. The method of replacing the nutrient solution of the culture dishes one by one takes a long time, and the overall process is cumbersome and inconvenient.

[0026] As a further technical solution proposed by the present invention, it includes a base 1 and also includes: a base 1.1, which is rotatably arranged on the base 1; a culture tray 2, which is provided with a connecting portion 2.5 that cooperates with the base 1.1, and the two are snap-fitted to complete the snap-fit ​​installation of the base 1 and the culture tray 2, so that the culture tray 2 can rotate on the base 1 through the rotating base 1.1. A plurality of placement grooves 2.1 are provided on the culture tray 2 along the circumferential direction, which are used to place culture dishes 4. Specifically, after placing a plurality of culture dishes 4 in the placement grooves 2.1 on the culture tray 2, the culture tray 2 is placed in an incubator. When the plurality of culture dishes 4 on the culture tray 2 need to be replaced with liquid, the culture tray 2 is taken out of the incubator, and then the culture tray 2 is connected and installed with the base 1.1 on the base 1. When the culture dish 4 on the culture tray 2 is replaced, the culture dish 4 to be replaced is turned in front of the operator by rotating the culture tray 2 to facilitate replacement. After all the culture dishes are replaced, the culture tray 2 is placed in the incubator. The device places multiple culture dishes on the culture tray 2 for centralized culture. When the nutrient solution is replaced, multiple culture dishes can be taken out at one time and the solution can be replaced in sequence by rotating the multiple culture dishes. The operation is convenient, which reduces the time of the entire process of changing the solution, reduces or even avoids the operator taking out the culture dishes and placing them on the workbench in turn, and then putting them back into the incubator after replacing the nutrient solution and taking out the next culture dish to be replaced. The method of replacing the nutrient solution of the culture dishes in turn takes a long time, and the overall process operation is cumbersome and inconvenient.

[0027] The number of placement slots 2.1 in this embodiment is set according to the needs of those skilled in the art, that is, according to the number of cells to be cultured therein. Preferably, the specific number of placement slots 2.1 is three, such as Figure 1 As shown in the state, three placement slots 2.1 are correspondingly placed with three culture dishes 4 for centralized culture.

[0028] In another embodiment of the present invention, preferably, each placement slot 2.1 is provided with a notch portion 2.6. Furthermore, the notch portion 2.6 is used to facilitate the operator to insert a finger into the placement slot 2.1 to take out the culture dish 4 or open the dish cover 4.2 on the culture dish 4.

[0029] In another embodiment of the present invention, preferably, each notch portion 2.6 is a rectangular structure as a whole, and a slope portion 2.7 is provided on the notch portion 2.6. Furthermore, the inclined slope portion 2.7 is more convenient for the operator to insert his fingers into the placement slot 2.1. Figure 2 Status shown.

[0030] In another embodiment of the present invention, each culture dish 4 is specifically composed of a dish body 4.1 and a dish cover 4.2. Figure 1As shown in the state, the culture dish 4 consists of a dish body 4.1 and a dish cover 4.2. The cells are placed in the dish body 4.1, and the dish cover 4.2 is used to be snap-fitted with the dish body 4.1 for installation and connection. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0031] In another embodiment of the present invention, preferably, a rotating block 3.2 is provided in the rotating groove 2.4 opened on the culture tray 2, and the rotating block 3.2 is movably connected to the pressing plate 3 through the elastic reset member 3.1. Further, as Figure 5 As shown in the state, the pressing plate 3 is slidably connected to the rotating block 3.2, and an elastic reset member 3.1 is connected between the two. The pressing plate 3 rotates synchronously with the rotating block 3.2 on the culture tray 2, and the elastic reset member 3.1 is specifically a spring.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, a limiting portion 2.2 is provided at the top center of the culture dish 2. The limiting portion 2.2 is a triangular structure as a whole, which is adapted to the pressing plate 3. The pressing plate 3 is assembled to have the following two working states: a first working state: when the pressing plate 3 and the limiting portion 2.2 do not overlap, the elastic reset member 3.1 is stretched; a second working state: when the pressing plate 3 and the limiting portion 2.2 overlap, the elastic reset member 3.1 contracts so that the pressing plate 3 abuts against each culture dish 4. Specifically, the first working state of the pressing plate 3 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the state, the pressing plate 3 does not overlap with the limiting portion 2.2, so that the spring is stretched. This state is used by the staff to change the liquid of the culture dish 4 on the culture tray 2, and the second working state of the pressing plate 3 is as shown in the state Figure 2 As shown in the state, the pressing plate 3 coincides with the limiting portion 2.2, so that the pressing plate 3 sinks into the limiting portion 2.2. During the sinking process, the spring contracts so that the pressing plate 3 abuts and fixes the culture dish 4 that has been exchanged, thereby improving the stability of the culture dish 4 in the placement groove 2.1 when the staff takes the mobile culture dish 2. Furthermore, a wedge-shaped portion 2.3 is provided on the limiting portion 2.2, and the wedge-shaped portion 2.3 and the pressing plate 3 can be wedge-fitted. When the pressing plate 3 coincides with the limiting portion 2.2, the wedge-shaped cooperation with the wedge-shaped portion 2.3 under rotation facilitates the pressing plate 3 to rotate out of the limiting portion 2.2 and then to be Figure 1 status.

[0033] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
