Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cell culture plate technology, and in particular to a stacked cell culture plate that is easy to observe. Background Technology
[0002] A cell culture plate is a laboratory instrument used for cell culture. It is usually made of materials such as polystyrene and has a flat bottom. It comes in different sizes, and the bottom of each well is usually smooth so that cells can adhere to the wall and grow evenly. There may be some markings around the culture plate to facilitate recording and identification by the experimenters.
[0003] In laboratory spaces with limited capacity, stacking multiple cell culture plates can effectively save workspace or storage space. When stacking, the corresponding protrusions need to be inserted into the slots for fixation. To ensure stability, the protrusions are made of elastic material and are slightly larger than the slots.
[0004] When it is necessary to observe the corresponding cell culture plates, the upper cell culture plate is manually removed. The cell culture plates are stacked and fixed by the corresponding insertion slots. However, when separating two sets of cell culture plates for observation, the upper cell culture plate must be removed first, then placed in the corresponding position, and then the upper cell culture plate is reset after observation. This is quite troublesome. Moreover, frequent insertion and separation operations may cause wear or damage to the insertion slots, which will make the protrusions smaller and thus affect the connection stability between the culture plates. Therefore, a stacked cell culture plate that is easy to observe is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Reference Figure 1The present invention provides an embodiment of a stackable cell culture plate for easy observation, comprising a culture support outer plate 1, which can be opened or stacked. A culture support inner plate 2 is detachably installed on the inner wall of the culture support outer plate 1. The culture support inner plate 2 is used to collect the corresponding cells. This is prior art and will not be explained in detail here. Support mechanisms 3 are provided on both the left and right sides of the culture support outer plate 1. The setting of the support mechanisms 3 can achieve the purpose of convenient observation.
[0035] Reference Figures 1-3 The support mechanism 3 includes a connecting frame 301. When the connecting frame 301 is open, it is easy to observe. When the connecting frame 301 is closed, the whole is in a retracted state. A magnet 305 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting frame 301. The magnet 305 can play a limiting support role. A magnetic block 1 303 is fixedly connected to the front side of the inner wall of the outer wall of the culture support 1, and a magnetic block 2 304 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the outer wall of the culture support 1. The setting of magnetic block 1 303 and magnetic block 2 304 can support and fix the connecting frame 301 after it is opened or closed. A telescopic rod 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the culture support 1. The overall length of the telescopic rod 302 can be adjusted and can play a guiding role. A handle 5 is fixedly connected to the front end of the inner wall of the culture support 2. The handle 5 is set to facilitate manual removal of the inner wall of the culture support 2. A disassembly mechanism 6 is set on the inner wall of the outer wall of the culture support 1. The inner wall of the outer wall of the culture support 1 can be disassembled and removed by the disassembly mechanism 6.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-3 The top of the connecting frame 301 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the culture support outer plate 1. The rotation of both allows the culture support outer plate 1 to support and limit the connecting frame 301. The outer wall of the magnet 305 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the culture support outer plate 1. This sliding connection prevents motion interference. The front of the magnet 305 is positive, and the rear is negative. The rear of the first magnetic block 303 is negative, and the front of the second magnetic block 304 is positive. Through the principle of magnetic attraction between opposite poles, when the magnet 305 moves to its rearmost position, the second magnetic block 304, in turn, supports the connecting frame 301. The magnetic block 303 provides support and limitation when the magnet 305 moves to the front end. The magnetic block 303 can provide support and limitation for the connecting frame 301. Multiple sets of telescopic rods 302 and culture support outer plates 1 are provided. The top plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the uppermost telescopic rod 302. The connection relationship between the top plate 4, the culture support outer plate 1 and the support mechanism 3 is consistent. The top plate 4 is located at the top and provides connection and protection. Multiple sets of culture support outer plates 1 are fixedly connected by telescopic rods 302. The setting of telescopic rods 302 makes the culture support outer plate 1 move vertically.
[0037] Reference Figures 4-6The disassembly mechanism 6 includes a movable plate 603. The outer wall of the movable plate 603 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer plate 1 of the culture support. The movable plate 603 allows the disassembly mechanism 6 to be released from its limiting position. The inner side wall of the outer plate 1 of the culture support is elastically connected to a limiting block 602 via a connecting spring 604. The limiting block 602 has an inclined surface facing forward at the center of the movable plate 603. The inclined surface facilitates manual installation of the inner plate 2 of the culture support. A support column 605 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the limiting block 602. The two move along the same trajectory. One end of the connecting spring 604 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer plate 1 of the culture support, and the other end of the connecting spring 604 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting block 602. The outer wall of the support column 605 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the outer plate 1 of the culture support. The elasticity of the connecting spring 604 enables the limiting block 602 to have the functions of reset and limiting. The outer wall of the moving plate 603 is provided with a slanted groove. The bottom end of the support column 605 contacts the inner wall of the slanted groove. The slanted groove is set so that when the moving plate 603 moves backward, the two sets of support columns 605 move to both ends. The outer wall of the limiting block 602 is inserted into the inner wall of the inner plate 2 of the culture support. The two are inserted to achieve the purpose of fixing. The bottom end of the outer plate 1 of the culture support is fixedly connected to the fixing block 601. The bottom end of the fixing block 601 contacts the inner side wall of the handle 5. The setting of the fixing block 601 enables the fixing block 601 to play a positioning role when the whole is in contraction.
[0038] Working principle: When it is necessary to observe the stacked cell culture plates, the two sets of culture support outer plates 1 can be pulled to open them. At this time, the two sets of connecting frames 301 will move closer to the middle, thereby causing the two sets of magnets 305 to also move closer. The upper culture support outer plate 1 will then open, thus facilitating observation. At this time, the rear end of magnet 305 contacts the front end of magnetic block 304, achieving the limiting purpose. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0039] When it is necessary to disassemble the inner plate 2 of the culture support, the moving plate 603 is moved inward. At this time, the support column 605 will move along the inclined groove, and then the two sets of support columns 605 will drive the two sets of limiting blocks 602 to move to both ends, releasing the insertion of the limiting block 602 and the inner plate 2 of the culture support. At this time, the inner plate 2 of the culture support can be pulled out by the handle 5. During installation, the inner plate 2 of the culture support is moved directly to the inner side wall of the outer plate 1 of the culture support. The inner plate 2 of the culture support presses against the limiting block 602 to achieve the purpose of fixing.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
