Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bioreactor technology, specifically a bioreactor for cell culture. Background Technology
[0002] Cell culture refers to a method of enabling organisms to survive, grow, reproduce, and maintain their main structures and functions by simulating the in vivo environment (sterility, suitable temperature, pH, and certain nutritional conditions, etc.) outside the body. Cell culture is also called cell cloning technology, and the formal term in biology is cell culture technique. Whether for bioengineering as a whole or for biological cloning technology, cell culture is an indispensable process; cell culture itself is the large-scale cloning of cells. Cell culture technology can cultivate a single cell into a large number of simple single cells or minimally differentiated multicellular organisms. This is an essential step in cloning technology, and cell culture itself is the cloning of cells. Cell culture technology is an important and commonly used technique in cell biology research. It allows for the acquisition of large quantities of cells and the study of cell signal transduction, anabolism, growth, and proliferation. A current patent (CN220812476U) describes a cell culture shaker for use in a bioreactor. It includes a bioreactor chamber, a shaking mechanism inside the chamber, a culture plate on top of the shaking mechanism, several placement slots on the top of the culture plate, culture dishes placed inside the placement slots, a clamping assembly between the placement slots and the culture dishes for holding and fixing them, and a temperature control component inside the culture plate for regulating the ambient temperature during cell culture. This cell culture shaker for a bioreactor uses the clamping assembly to hold and fix the culture dishes, preventing collisions and accidental damage due to shaking, thus improving the protection of the culture dishes. The temperature control component allows for adjustment of the ambient temperature during cell culture, improving the success rate of cell culture.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist: although the temperature can be controlled during use, the lack of an effective uniform shaking structure results in poor shaking effect when shaking in a plane, making it impossible to achieve rapid mixing of cultured cells and solutions. Therefore, we propose a bioreactor for cell culture to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

The mounting platform 101 has a through hole inside, which is a mounting hole 102. The mounting hole 102 and the mounting platform 101 together form a connection support structure for the support frame 1.
[0025] By fixing a mounting platform 101 to the outside of the support frame 1, it is possible to perform a replication support operation on the support frame 1 during use.
[0026] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 The support frame 1 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the bracket 2, and the main body of the bracket 2 is arranged horizontally. There are two brackets 2, and the two brackets 2 are fixedly connected in a straight line array to the front and rear sides of the two support frames 1. The front end of the bracket 2 is equipped with a motor 201, and the rear side of the motor 201 is equipped with an output shaft.
[0027] By installing a motor 201 at the front end of the bracket 2, a stable power output can be provided during use.
[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 A gear 202 is installed on the output shaft at the rear of the motor 201, and the gear 202 and the motor 201 together form a power output structure. A guide seat 203 is also fixedly connected to the inner side of the two support frames 1. The main body of the guide seat 203 is an arc-shaped structure, and an arc-shaped groove is opened inside the guide seat 203.
[0029] By mounting a gear 202 on the rear output shaft of the motor 201, the motor 201 can be used to drive the gear 202 to rotate during operation.
[0030] See Figure 3 , Figure 5The arc-shaped groove inside the guide seat 203 is the guide groove 204, and the guide groove 204 and the guide seat 203 together form a guide structure. A bracket 3 is placed on top of the guide seat 203, and the main body of the bracket 3 is an arc-shaped structure. A guide block 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bracket 3, and the main body of the guide block 301 is an arc-shaped structure.
[0031] By fixing a guide block 301 to the bottom surface of the bracket 3, the bracket 3 can be guided by the guide block 301 when it moves.
[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The bottom end face of the guide block 301 is fixedly connected with guide teeth 302 in an arc array, and the guide teeth 302 mesh with the gear 202 set on the output shaft of the motor 201. The inner side of the bracket 3 is also fixedly connected with a mounting plate 303.
[0033] By fixing a mounting plate 303 to the inside of the bracket 3, the clamping push rod 304 can be guided and installed during use.
[0034] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 The main body of the mounting plate 303 is horizontally arranged, and there are two mounting plates 303. The two mounting plates 303 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the bracket 3 in opposite directions. The interior of the two mounting plates 303 is provided with a horizontal groove, and a clamping push rod 304 is installed inside the horizontal groove.
[0035] By providing a clamping push rod 304 on the inner side of the mounting plate 303, the movable seat 305 can be pushed.

A clamping plate 307 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable seat 305 away from the clamping push rod 304, and a culture dish 308 is clamped and limited on the inner side of the clamping plate 307.
[0037] The culture dish 308 is clamped and limited on the inside of the clamping plate 307, so that it can be adjusted according to the size of the culture dish 308 when in use.
[0038] During operation, when cells are being cultured, the culture dish 308 can be placed inside the clamping plate 307 located in the two mounting plates 303. The moving seat 305 can be pushed inward by activating the clamping push rod 304 installed inside the transverse groove in the mounting plate 303. When the moving seat 305 moves inward, the clamping operation of the culture dish 308 can be achieved by using the locking block 306 fixedly connected to the outside of the moving seat 305 to move along the transverse groove opened in the mounting plate 303.
[0039] At this point, by placing the cells and culture medium into the interior of the culture dish 308, and by starting the motor 201 installed at the front end of the support 2 to drive the gear 202 to rotate, the rapid shaking of the culture dish 308 is achieved through the meshing transmission of the gear 202 and the guide teeth 302 fixedly connected to the outer peripheral surface of the guide block 301, thereby achieving a more practical purpose.
[0040] In summary, this device, by providing a guide block 301 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bracket 3, can achieve rapid guiding of the bracket 3.
