Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a kind of technical solutions: the filter structure of stem cell collector, including lower outer tube 1, the top of lower outer tube 1 outside is nested and fixed with connecting sleeve 2, the inside of connecting sleeve 2 is connected with the bottom of upper outer tube 3 outside each other, pull rod 4 is movably installed in the inside of upper outer tube 3, the lower end of pull rod 4 is nested and fixed with piston 5, the outside of piston 5 is mutually resistant with the inside of upper outer tube 3, the bottom of lower outer tube 1 is provided with material port 6, first hollow support block 7, first ring body 8, second hollow support block 10, second ring body 11, third hollow support block 13, third ring body 14 and fourth hollow support block 16 are movably installed in the inside of lower outer tube 1 from below to above in sequence, first filter membrane 9 is fixed in the inside of first ring body 8, second filter membrane 12 is fixed in the inside of second ring body 11, third filter membrane 15 is fixed in the inside of third ring body 14, the top of fourth hollow support block 16 is attached with limiting ring 17, the outside of limiting ring 17 is fixedly connected with the bottom in the inside of upper outer tube 3.

[0021] The top of the lower outer cylinder 1 is fixed with a rubber sealing ring 18, the top of which is in contact with the bottom of the upper outer cylinder 3, ensuring the sealing of the device during the collection process, preventing sample liquid leakage and external impurities from entering.

[0022] The inner side of the connecting sleeve 2 is threadedly connected with the bottom of the outer side of the upper outer cylinder 3, which facilitates disassembly and installation, and facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the device.

[0023] The top of the limiting ring 17 is in contact with the bottom of the piston 5, which limits the downward position of the piston through the limiting ring, prevents the piston from descending excessively and damaging the filter structure, and ensures the stable operation of the filter structure.

[0024] The first hollow support block 7, the first ring body 8, the second hollow support block 10, the second ring body 11, the third hollow support block 13, the third ring body 14 and the fourth hollow support block 16 are combined into a hollow cylindrical structure, which provides stable support for the filter membrane and ensures the smooth progress of the filtration process.

[0025] The first filter membrane 9, the second filter membrane 12 and the third filter membrane 15 are all designed to be inclined, and the diameter of the filter holes on the first filter membrane 9 is larger than that on the second filter membrane 12, and the diameter of the filter holes on the second filter membrane 12 is larger than that on the third filter membrane 15. This design allows impurities of different particle sizes to be effectively intercepted on different levels of filter membranes, improving the filtration effect, while increasing the filtration area and reducing the probability of filter membrane blockage.

[0026] Working principle: First, check whether the lower outer cylinder 1, the upper outer cylinder 3, the connecting sleeve 2 and each filter component are intact;

[0027] Install the first hollow support block 7, the first ring body 8, the second hollow support block 10, the second ring body 11, the third hollow support block 13, the third ring body 14 and the fourth hollow support block 16 in the lower outer cylinder 1 in order;

[0028] Tightly connect the bottom of the outer side of the upper outer cylinder 3 with the inner side of the connecting sleeve 2 through threads, and make the rubber sealing ring 18 at the top of the lower outer cylinder 1 tightly contact with the bottom of the upper outer cylinder 3, to ensure the sealing of the device;

[0029] Install the pull rod 4 in the upper outer cylinder 3, ensure that the piston 5 tightly contacts with the inner side of the upper outer cylinder 3, and can move up and down;

[0030] Align the material port 6 with the sample source that needs to collect stem cells, such as biological tissue culture liquid containing stem cells, etc.

[0031] The operator slowly pulls up the pull rod 4, and the pull rod 4 drives the piston 5 to move upward. Since the piston 5 is in close contact with the inner side of the upper outer cylinder 3, a negative pressure is gradually formed in the upper outer cylinder 3. Under the action of the negative pressure, the sample liquid enters the lower outer cylinder 1 from the material port 6. The sample first contacts the first filter membrane 9. Larger impurities such as cell clumps and tissue fragments are intercepted by the first filter membrane 9. The liquid filtered by the first filter membrane 9 continues to rise and reaches the second filter membrane 12. At this time, smaller impurities such as larger cell fragments and protein aggregates are intercepted by the second filter membrane 12. The liquid filtered twice then contacts the third filter membrane 15. Smaller impurities such as tiny cell fragments and residual culture medium impurities are intercepted by the third filter membrane 15. After three layers of filtration, the relatively pure liquid containing stem cells passes through the third filter membrane 15 and continues to rise into the upper outer cylinder 3.

[0032] If subsequent processing of the collected sample is required, the upper outer cylinder 3 can be carefully detached from the lower outer cylinder 1, and the sample liquid containing stem cells is taken out.

[0033] If the filter structure needs to be cleaned or replaced, the connecting sleeve 2 is rotated to separate the connecting sleeve 2 from the upper outer cylinder 3, and the upper outer cylinder 3 is separated from the lower outer cylinder 1. Then, the fourth hollow support block 16, the third ring body 14, and the third hollow support block 13 are taken out in turn. Then, the second ring body 11 together with the second filter membrane 12 can be conveniently taken off from the second hollow support block 10 for cleaning or replacement operation. After cleaning or replacement is completed, the components are reinstalled in reverse order for next use.

[0034] Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent replacement to part of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
