These new cells may have unique biological characteristics, functions, and potential application value, providing new clues and directions for understanding life phenomena and developing new treatment methods.

[0003] In cell culture, the culture medium is placed in culture tubes and cultured for a long time in a suitable environment and temperature. Depending on the cell type and quantity requirements, it usually needs to be carried out in a uniform culture environment. However, existing incubators can only be used to hold a fixed number of test tubes, and the number of cell test tubes to be cultured is fixed, which does not allow for free selection based on the volume of culture test tubes, resulting in significant limitations in their use.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 This embodiment of the present invention provides a cell culture chamber, comprising:

[0030] The box body 1 has a door 10 at the front end. The door 10 can be opened and closed, and when closed, the interior becomes a sealed culture space.

[0031] Secondly, air inlets 11 and exhaust outlets 12 are respectively provided on both sides of the chamber 1. A filter screen 13 is provided inside the air inlet 11, and a fan 14 is provided inside the exhaust outlet 12. The filter screen 13 can filter external air impurities. When working, the fan 14 is activated to create a negative pressure space inside the chamber 1. External air enters the chamber 1 through the air inlet 11 and is then discharged to the outside through the exhaust outlet 12 after passing through the fan 14, thereby strengthening the convection of internal and external air and creating a suitable cultivation environment. A refrigerator is provided on the top of the chamber 1. The refrigerator provides low temperature and adjusts the temperature accordingly.

[0032] A rotating platform 2 is rotatably mounted inside the bottom of the housing 1. In this embodiment, the rotating platform 2 is a worm gear. The bottom of the housing 1 is also provided with a motor 3 and a worm 4. The motor 3 and the worm 4 are driven together. The worm 4 is externally connected to the rotating platform 2. The worm 4 is driven to rotate by the motor 3. The cooperation between the worm 4 and the worm gear drives the rotating platform 2 to rotate 360° arbitrarily.

[0033] The platform 5 is mounted on the rotary table 2 and is fixed to the rotary table 2 by plugging in. The rotary table 2 drives the platform 5 to rotate freely.

[0034] like Figure 4The clamping mechanism is adjustablely disposed on the platform 5. The clamping mechanism is at least partially disposed on the platform 5, and the other part extends outside the platform 5 to clamp the outside of the insertion platform 6. The clamping mechanism is concentrically disposed with the platform 5 and the rotating platform 2.

[0035] The adjustment mechanism is driven to connect with the clamping mechanism. The adjustment mechanism controls the two sides of the clamping mechanism to move closer or further apart to clamp the insertion platform 6 of different outer diameters. The insertion platform 6 can hold culture tubes. The insertion platform 6 of different outer diameters is provided with different numbers of insertion holes 60. The culture tubes are vertically inserted into the insertion holes 60.

[0036] In this embodiment, further, such as Figure 5 The clamping mechanism includes a first clamping block 7 and a second clamping block 8 arranged symmetrically in an arc shape. The bottom of the first clamping block 7 is connected to a first rack 70, and the bottom of the second clamping block 8 is connected to a second rack 80. The first rack 70 is located directly above the second rack 80 and is spaced apart. The bottom surfaces of the first clamping block 7 and the second clamping block 8 are in contact with the upper surface of the platform 5. In this way, when the clamping mechanism clamps the insertion platform 6, the bottom surface of the insertion platform 6 is placed on the platform 5, achieving a stable effect. The platform 5 has a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove for correspondingly accommodating the first rack 70 and the second rack 80, so that the first rack 70 can only slide in the first sliding groove and the second rack 80 can only slide in the second sliding groove. The first sliding groove and the second sliding groove are just grooves on the platform 5 and have no special structural features, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0037] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a gear 9, a connecting rod 90, and a handwheel 91. The gear 9 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 90 and meshes synchronously with the first rack 70 and the second rack 80. The other end of the connecting rod 90 extends outside the platform 5. The handwheel 91 is fixed to the other end of the connecting rod 90. The connecting rod 90 drives the gear 9 to rotate, causing the first rack 70 and the second rack 80 to move in opposite directions. In use, rotating the handwheel 91 drives the connecting rod 90 to rotate, and the gear 9 drives the first rack 70 and the second rack 80 to move synchronously in opposite directions, thereby causing the first clamping block and the second clamping block to move closer or further apart. Depending on the amount of culture, different diameter insertion platforms 6 can be freely selected. The number of insertion holes 60 on the insertion platforms 6 with different diameters is different, so different numbers of test tubes can be inserted to meet the culture requirements. By adjusting the rotation through the adjustment mechanism, it can adaptively clamp insertion platforms 6 with different inner diameters, realizing the free selection of multiple culture test tube volumes in one incubator.

[0038] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
