Adjacent corners of the cover body are respectively provided with an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe, which are arranged one by one corresponding to the air inlet channel and the air outlet channel below. The inner side walls of the bottom box, the box body and the cover body are respectively provided with a plurality of corresponding sealing mechanisms. The bottom of the sealing mechanism is provided with a movable inverted trapezoidal buckle, and the top is provided with a buckle hole matched with the inverted trapezoidal buckle. The bottom box, the box body and the cover body arranged adjacent to each other are connected by the sealing mechanism buckle.
[0004] For another example, the integrated adherent cell culture and separation device is disclosed in the patent literature CN212128204U, which comprises a box body, a cell culture unit, a pressing mechanical hand, a grabbing mechanical hand, a liquid adding device, a blowing and beating mechanism and a conveying belt. The box body comprises a culture cavity, a blowing and beating cavity and a sampling cavity. The pressing mechanical hand is used to buckle connect or separate the box, the box body and / or the cover body. The grabbing mechanical hand is used to grab the bottom box and / or the box body and transfer them to the blowing and beating cavity. The liquid adding device is used to provide cell culture solution for the cell culture unit. The blowing and beating mechanism is used to blow and beat the cultured cells in the bottom box and / or the box body. The conveying belt is used to convey the bottom box and / or the box body processed by the blowing and beating mechanism to the sampling cavity.
