Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle rotating machine technology, and more specifically to a bottle rotating machine stop alarm device. Background Technology
[0002] Cell culture is a fundamental and crucial technique in modern bioengineering, medical research, and the biotechnology industry. The roller bottle machine, as an essential piece of equipment in the cell culture process, plays an irreplaceable role.
[0003] Rotary bottle machines are primarily used for large-scale cell culture. Their working principle is based on the adherent growth characteristics of cells and their needs for nutrients and gas exchange. A typical rotary bottle machine consists of a frame, a rotating mechanism, a transmission device, and bottle holders. The bottle holders hold the cell culture flasks in place, allowing them to rotate slowly and horizontally with the rotation of the machine. During rotation, the cell culture medium inside the flask is evenly distributed on its inner surface, providing ample space and a uniform growth environment for the adherent cells.
[0004] In some cases, existing bottling machines malfunction, such as belt damage or detachment causing the bottles to stop rotating. The rotating bottle machine does not issue an alarm, leading to the culture medium, which was initially evenly distributed in a dynamic environment, gradually settling and agglomerating due to gravity. Deprived of continuous nourishment and oxygen supply, the cells quickly fall into a harsh environment, severely impacting cell culture. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides a stop alarm device for a bottle rotating machine. Two pulleys are driven by a belt, and these pulleys, in turn, drive the main roller within the corresponding mounting frame via a corresponding connecting shaft. This enables synchronous operation of the main roller and the reflector. Multiple through holes on the reflector allow a photoelectric sensor to receive periodic pulse signals. When the periodic pulse signal is abnormal, an alarm light is activated, allowing for timely detection of anomalies and reducing losses, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a stop alarm device for a rotary bottle machine, comprising a rotary bottle component for cell culture installed inside the housing;
[0007] The rotating bottle assembly is equipped with two sets of warning devices on its exterior to promptly reflect the operating status;
[0008] Each set of warning components includes two connecting shafts located inside the housing. Each connecting shaft has a pulley fitted on the outer rear end. A belt is installed between the two pulleys, and the two pulleys are driven by the belt.
[0009] The pulley is provided with a reflector disk sleeved on the rear side of the connecting shaft, and the reflector disk has multiple through holes arranged in a ring array on its exterior.
[0010] A photoelectric sensor is provided on the front side of the top of the reflector, and a warning light is installed on the top of the box.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the bottle rotating component includes four side plates and two mounting frames disposed within the box body, with the two mounting frames positioned between the four side plates.
[0012] Each mounting frame is equipped with two main rollers. On the side where the two main rollers are close to each other, there are two spaced inner rollers. On the side where the two main rollers are far apart, there are outer rollers. The main rollers, inner rollers and outer rollers are all movably connected to the mounting frame through a rotating shaft.
[0013] The connecting shaft, pulley, belt, and reflector are all located on the rear side of the mounting frame, and the two corresponding connecting shafts on the left and right sides pass through the mounting frame and are fixed together with the rotating shafts on the two main rollers respectively.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing bracket is installed at the top rear end of the mounting frame, and the end of the fixing bracket away from the mounting frame is sleeved on the outside of the photoelectric sensor.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, two driven bevel gears are provided on the rear side of one of the mounting frames. The two driven bevel gears are respectively sleeved on the outside of the two connecting shafts, and a master bevel gear is engaged at the rear side of one end of the driven bevel gear.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a dual-axis motor is provided between the two main bevel gears, and the two ends of the dual-axis motor are respectively fixed to the two main bevel gears. The dual-axis motor is located on the rear side of the mounting frame on which the driven bevel gear is installed.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, touch plates are installed on the rear sides of both ends of the mounting frame, and the rear ends of the touch plates are in contact with the inner wall of the box.
[0018] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] Two pulleys rotate via belt drive, and the two pulleys, in turn, drive the main roller in the corresponding mounting frame to rotate via the corresponding connecting shaft. This enables the main roller and the reflector to rotate synchronously. Then, through multiple through holes on the reflector, the photoelectric sensor can receive periodic pulse signals. The operation status of the rotating bottle is detected by receiving the pulse signals, and when the periodic pulse signal is abnormal, the warning light will give an early warning, so as to detect abnormalities in time and reduce losses.

[0026] 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.
[0027] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a stop alarm device for a rotating bottle machine, including a rotating bottle component for cell culture installed inside a housing 1. The rotating bottle component includes four side plates 9 and two mounting frames 10 installed inside the housing 1, with the two mounting frames 10 positioned between the four side plates 9. Each mounting frame 10 has two main rollers 11 inside, with two spaced inner rollers 12 on the side of the two main rollers 11 that are close to each other, and outer rollers 13 on the side of the two main rollers 11 that are far apart. The main rollers 11, inner rollers 12, and outer rollers 13 are all movably connected to the mounting frames 10 via rotating shafts. The connecting shaft 2, pulley 3, belt 4, and reflector 5 are all located on the rear side of the mounting frames 10, and the two corresponding connecting shafts 2 on the left and right sides pass through the mounting frames 10 and are respectively fixed to the rotating shafts on the two main rollers 11.
[0028] The operator places the cell culture flask between the main roller 11, inner roller 12, and outer roller 13. When the main roller 11 is started to rotate the cell culture flask, two driven bevel gears 15 are provided on the rear side of one of the mounting frames 10. The two driven bevel gears 15 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the two connecting shafts 2. One end of the driven bevel gear 15 meshes with a main bevel gear 16. A dual-axis motor 17 is provided between the two main bevel gears 16, and both ends of the dual-axis motor 17 are fixed to the two main bevel gears 16. The dual-axis motor 17 is located on the rear side of the mounting frame 10 where the driven bevel gears 15 are installed. This can drive the dual-axis motor 17 to drive the main bevel gears 16 to rotate. The main bevel gears 16 drive the connecting shafts 2 to rotate through the meshing driven bevel gears 15. The connecting shafts 2 are driven to rotate by a warning device, thereby driving the main roller 11 to rotate. The main roller 11 then rotates to rotate the cell culture flask.
[0029] To achieve the effect of simultaneous operation of the connecting shafts 2 within the two mounting frames 10, the connecting shafts 2 need to be connected as a single unit, such as... Figure 2-4 As shown, the rotating bottle assembly has two sets of warning devices on its exterior for timely feedback on its operating status. Each set of warning devices includes two connecting shafts 2 located inside the housing 1. Each connecting shaft 2 has a pulley 3 fitted on its rear end. A belt 4 is provided between the two pulleys 3, and the two pulleys 3 are driven by the belt 4. A reflector 5 is fitted on the rear side of the pulley 3 and is fitted on the rear side of the connecting shaft 2. The reflector 5 has multiple through holes 6 arranged in a ring array on its exterior. A photoelectric sensor 7 is provided on the front side of the top of the reflector 5, and a warning light 8 is installed on the top of the housing 1.
[0030] When the main bevel gear 16 and the driven bevel gear 15 drive the connecting shafts 2 on the two warning components to operate, the two connecting shafts 2 on each set of warning components are driven by the belt 4, so that the connecting shaft 2 can drive the other connecting shaft 2 to operate by means of the belt 4. This can make the connecting shafts 2 in the two mounting frames 10 operate synchronously and achieve the consistency of the operation of the two main rollers 11. At the same time, through the connection between the reflector 5 and the connecting shaft 2, the reflector 5 can operate together with the connecting shaft 2. Through the setting of multiple through holes 6, the photoelectric sensor 7 can make periodic contact with the reflector 6, thereby reflecting pulse signals. Thus, the operation status of the bottle rotating component can be detected by the cooperation of the photoelectric sensor 7 and the periodic pulse signals. When the periodic pulse signal disappears, it indicates that the bottle rotating component has stopped due to abnormality. At this time, the background control system activates the warning light 8 to give a warning, so as to detect the abnormality in time and reduce losses.
[0031] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
