[0038] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one biological reaction device of the present application, the container 124 is provided with a cavity 121, and the execution device 100 includes a base 101 and a plurality of stirring paddles arranged on the base 101. The base 101 is detachably mounted on the container 124, and it can be understood that the execution device 100 includes a plurality of stirring paddles arranged on the base 101. Figure 3 and Figure 4The base 101 is provided with a positioning edge 108 extending to the bottom direction, and the outer edge of the container 124 is provided with a limiting groove 109, when the executing device 100 is installed on the container 124, the positioning edge 108 can be inserted into the limiting groove 109, so as to realize the installation and positioning of the executing device 100 and the container 124, and improve the use convenience.
[0039] It can be understood that six stirring paddles are arranged in the embodiment, the stirring paddles can be inserted into the accommodating cavity 121, and the stirring paddles are used for stirring the culture solution in the accommodating cavity 121 so as to make the culture solution and the cells fully contact. The stirring paddle comprises a rotating shaft 112 and a plurality of paddle blades 111 arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 112, and the paddle blade 111 is inclined to the horizontal plane, which is helpful to make the liquid in the accommodating cavity 121 flow along the direction of the rotating axis of the stirring paddle during the rotation of the stirring paddle, improve the mixing effect of the cells and the culture solution, and help to promote the reaction rate. Meanwhile, the executing device 100 is provided with a motor 103, the base 101 is provided with a covering upper cover 102, the motor 103 is installed on the upper cover 102 and is power-connected with any one of the stirring paddles, the end of the rotating shaft 112 away from the stirring paddle is provided with a driving gear, the driving gears on the adjacent two rotating shafts 112 are meshed with each other, so that the rotating directions of the adjacent two stirring paddles are opposite, which is helpful to improve the stirring efficiency of the liquid in the accommodating cavity 121, improve the mixing efficiency of the cells and the culture solution, and thus improve the reaction rate. Further, the driving gear comprises a driving wheel 105 and a driven wheel 106, the stirring paddle power-connected with the motor 103 is provided with the driving wheel 105, the driving wheel 105 is meshed with the driven wheel 106, so as to realize the power transmission.
[0040] Referring to 2 and Figure 3, the stirring paddle comprises a first stirring paddle 110 and a second stirring paddle 120 arranged adjacently, and the tilting directions of the paddle blades 111 between the first stirring paddle 110 and the second stirring paddle 120 are opposite. It can be understood that during the cell culture process, cells are deposited at the bottom of the cavity 121, and the cells consume the dissolved oxygen and nutrients of the culture solution in the process of continuous growth and metabolism, thereby causing the concentration of nutrients and the pH value at the bottom layer to be low, which is not conducive to the continuous growth of cells. Therefore, when the motor 103 drives the driving wheel 105 to rotate, the driving wheel 105 is externally meshed with the driven wheel 106, so that the rotating directions of the driving wheel 105 and the driven wheel are opposite, the stirring paddle installed on the driving wheel 105 and the stirring paddle installed on the driven wheel rotate in opposite directions, and when rotating, different direction eddies can be generated in the cavity 121, which can improve the mixing effect of the culture solution and the cells and improve the utilization rate of nutrients by the cells, thereby facilitating the growth of the cells. At the same time, since the tilting directions of the paddle blades 111 between the first stirring paddle 110 and the second stirring paddle 120 arranged adjacently are opposite, that is, the first stirring paddle 110 and the second stirring paddle 120 are mirror images of each other, that is, the tilting directions of the paddle blades 111 between the stirring paddle installed on the driving wheel 105 and the stirring paddle installed on the driven wheel 106 are opposite, and the rotating directions of the first stirring paddle 110 and the second stirring paddle 120 are opposite, therefore, when rotating, the first stirring paddle 110 and the second stirring paddle 120 can make the culture solution move in the same direction along the rotating axis in the culture solution, thereby causing convection between the upper layer and the lower layer of the culture solution, and the cells at the bottom of the cavity 121 float upward, thereby facilitating the uniform distribution of nutrients and dissolved oxygen in the culture solution and being conducive to the growth of cells.
[0041] Further, referring to Figure 2 , the paddle blade 111 comprises a connecting end 115 close to the rotating shaft 112 and a free end 116 away from the rotating shaft 112, the tilting angle of the outer edge of the free end 116 to the axis of the rotating shaft 112 is a first angle 117, the tilting angle of the edge of the connecting end 115 to the axis of the rotating shaft 112 is a second angle 118, and the first angle 117 and the second angle 118 are not equal. Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7The first axis 114 is defined as a straight line passing through the paddle 111 and parallel to the outer edge of the free end 116 along the width direction of the paddle 111, the second axis 119 is defined as a straight line passing through the paddle 111 and parallel to the edge of the connecting end 115, the first angle 117 is the included angle between the first axis 114 and the rotation axis, and the second angle 118 is the included angle between the second axis 119 and the rotation axis. In the embodiment, the first angle 117 is greater than the second angle 118, that is, the inclination angle of the free end 116 relative to the rotation axis is greater than the inclination angle of the connecting end 115 relative to the rotation axis. In the embodiment, at least three paddles 111 are provided. Since the connecting end 115 of the paddle 111 is closer to the rotation axis, the circumferential width of the paddle 111 is larger when the inclination angle is too large, which is not conducive to the spatial arrangement of the plurality of paddles 111. The free end 116 is located at the outer periphery of the stirring paddle and has sufficient arrangement space. Therefore, when the first angle 117 is greater than the second angle 118, the surface of the paddle 111 can have a curved surface, and the stirring paddle can effectively reduce the resistance and improve the stirring efficiency of the liquid when rotating.
[0042] Referring to Figure 5 The container cavity 121 can also be provided with a plurality of unit cavities 122, and each unit cavity 122 is inserted with a stirring paddle. Different types of microorganisms can be placed in each unit cavity 122 for cultivation. Therefore, the execution device 100 can simultaneously stir different culture dishes, thereby improving the use flexibility. Further, a plurality of motors 103 can be provided, and each stirring paddle is driven by a separate motor 103. The stirring speed can be adjusted according to different culture dishes to meet the use requirements.
[0043] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The shaft 112 has a channel 113 passing through both ends. The execution device 100 is provided with a sensor 123 for detecting the pH value and dissolved oxygen concentration in the culture solution. The sensor 123 is installed on the base 101 and inserted into the channel 113 to extend outside the stirring paddle. The radial outer periphery wall of the sensor 123 and the inner wall of the channel 113 have a gap therebetween to avoid the sensor 123 from rotating with the stirring paddle. The sensor 123 can detect the solution in the container cavity 121 and generate a detection signal. The control device can receive the detection signal from the sensor 123, and the control device can control the rotation speed of the stirring paddle based on the detection signal. The rotation speed of the stirring paddle can be automatically adjusted in real time according to the state parameters of the culture solution to ensure that the cells and the culture solution are in sufficient contact and reaction, thereby improving the biological cultivation effect. Further, the upper cover 102 is provided with a mounting groove 104, and the end of the sensor 123 away from the stirring paddle is fixed in the mounting groove 104.
[0044] It can be understood that the control device further comprises a switch 107, which is pivotally connected to the top of the upper cover, and is used to realize the opening and closing of the execution device 100.
[0045] The utility model embodiment has been explained in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various changes can be made within the knowledge range possessed by the ordinary skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the utility model.
