[0030] Combination Figures 1-4 An in vitro organoid culture device includes a culture device body 1 and a pull-out plate 2 slidably connected to the inner side of the culture device body 1. The culture device body 1 is provided with a pressing mechanism, which can improve the airtightness between the pull-out plate 2 and the culture device body 1. The pressing mechanism includes a sealing ring 11 fixedly connected to the inside of the culture device body 1. Placement boxes 12 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the culture device body 1, and a sliding column 121 is slidably connected inside the placement box 12. A rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to one end of the sliding column 121. A second sealing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the pull-out plate 2.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] To address the problem that most existing culture devices lack a sealing structure, allowing outside air to enter during cultivation and significantly impacting their performance, the following solution is disclosed. Please refer to the following for details. Figures 1-5Sealing ring 11 matches sealing ring 21. A knob 122 is rotatably connected to one side of the placement box 12, and a bevel gear 123 is fixedly connected to one side of the knob 122. A bevel gear 124 is meshed with one side of the bevel gear 123. The bevel gear 124 is rotatably connected inside the placement box 12. A lead screw 125 is fixedly connected to one side of the bevel gear 124, and the lead screw 125 is threadedly connected to the sliding column 121. A pressing block 131 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod 13. A pulling block 132 is slidably connected to one end of the sliding column 121, and a cross block 133 is fixedly connected to one end of the pulling block 132. A spring rod 134 is also fixedly connected to one end of the pulling block 132. The other end of the rotating rod 13... A cross groove 135 is provided on the side, and the cross groove 135 slides with the cross block 133. A placement bucket 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the pull-out plate 2. A fixing frame 221 is fixedly connected inside the placement bucket 22. A motor 222 is also fixedly connected inside the placement bucket 22, and a lead screw 223 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 222. A placement frame 224 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw 223, and the placement frame 224 is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixing frame 221. When using this device, the incubator needs to be placed on the placement frame 224. After placement, the motor 222 can be started. The motor 222 drives the lead screw 223 to rotate, thereby causing the placement frame 224 to move outside the fixing frame 221. At this time, the placement frame 224... 4. Move the device to the inside of the placement container 22. The user can push the pull plate 2 so that the sealing ring 21 on one side of the pull plate 2 fits with the sealing ring 11 inside the culture device body 1. After placing the pull plate 2, the user can pull the pull block 132 located on one side of the sliding column 121 so that the cross block 133 disengages from the cross groove 135, bringing the rotating rod 13 to a horizontal position. Then, release the pull block 132. Under the effect of the spring rod 134, the cross block 133 automatically engages with the cross groove 135, thus fixing the rotating rod 13. Finally, turn the knob 122 located on one side of the placement box 12. The knob 122 drives the bevel gear 123 to rotate, which in turn drives the bevel gear 124 to rotate. The bevel gear 124 drives the bevel gear 124 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 125 causes the sliding column 121 to slide inside the placement box 12. The sliding column 121 drives the rotating rod 13 to move. At this time, the pressing block 131 on the rotating rod 13 can press the pull plate 2, making the connection between the sealing ring 21 and the sealing ring 11 tighter. When it is necessary to remove the incubator, the knob 122 can be rotated in the opposite direction to disengage the pressing block 131 from the pull plate 2. Then, the pulling block 132 is pulled to make the rotating rod 13 vertical. Finally, the pull plate 2 is pulled and the motor 222 is started, so that the placement rack 224 is moved out of the placement box 22. At this time, the removal operation can be performed, which can significantly improve the airtightness of the overall device and improve the use effect of the device.
