Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell culture chamber device technology, and in particular to a novel cell culture chamber. Background Technology

[0002] A stem cell culture chamber is a key piece of equipment used for stem cell culture, providing a stable and suitable environment for stem cell growth.

[0003] Stem cell culture incubators sometimes have multiple layers of placement plates inside to hold stem cell culture dishes. These placement plates are usually fixed in place, but the height of the stem cell culture dishes is not fixed. In this case, shorter stem cell culture dishes will take up more space, while taller ones will not fit, thus requiring improvement in the performance of the stem cell culture incubator.

[0004] To address this, we designed a novel cell culture chamber that allows for adjustable height of the placement plate for stem cell culture dishes, enabling the storage of more shorter stem cell culture dishes while also facilitating the storage of taller ones. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology. This utility model proposes a new type of cell culture box, which makes the height of the placement plate for placing stem cell culture dishes adjustable, so as to store more lower stem cell culture dishes and facilitate the storage of higher stem cell culture dishes.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a novel cell culture incubator, comprising:

[0007] An incubator structure, the incubator structure including a cell culture chamber shell, the cell culture chamber shell being hinged to a door;

[0008] A multi-layer culture dish placement mechanism includes multiple culture dish placement plates placed inside the cell culture chamber shell. The multiple culture dish placement plates are arranged in parallel from top to bottom. A lifting mechanism is provided between adjacent culture dish placement plates to bring the two culture dish placement plates closer or further apart, so that the space between the multiple culture dish placement plates can hold culture dishes of different heights, thereby allowing the cell culture chamber shell cavity to hold more culture dishes of different sizes.

[0009] An auxiliary stabilizing movement mechanism is provided, which enables multiple culture dish placement plates to move stably up and down.

[0010] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottommost culture dish placement plate, and the support plate is fixedly installed on the bottommost inner wall of the cell culture box shell.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a fixed plate, an electric telescopic rod, and a limiting slide plate. Two fixed plates are fixedly connected to the top center of the lower petri dish placement plate, and electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the upper petri dish placement plate. The two electric telescopic rods are symmetrically arranged, and the telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods are connected to the limiting slide plate. The two limiting slide plates are respectively hinged to the two fixed plates with hinge rods.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the culture dish placement plate placed on the upper side, and the limiting slide plate is slidably connected to the limiting groove in the left and right directions.

[0013] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly installed on the cell culture chamber shell, the controller is electrically connected to each electric telescopic rod, and the controller is provided with buttons corresponding to each electric telescopic rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the auxiliary stabilizing movement mechanism includes a sleeve plate and threaded rods. First sliding holes are provided on both sides of the multiple culture dish placement plates, and second sliding holes are provided on both sides of the top of the cell culture box shell. The two threaded rods pass through the two second sliding holes and the multiple first sliding holes on both sides, respectively. A nut is threadedly connected to the part of the threaded rod placed on the top of the cell culture box shell.

[0015] Furthermore, two sleeve plates are fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the cell culture chamber shell, and the bottoms of the two threaded rods are inserted into the sleeve plates.

[0016] Furthermore, a base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cell culture chamber shell.

[0017] Furthermore, the door is equipped with a magnetic strip that adheres to the metal sheet of the cell culture chamber shell, and the door is also equipped with a rubber layer, so that the door is stably and sealed on the cell culture chamber shell.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:

[0019] The distance between the two culture dish placement plates is adjustable, which allows for the adaptive storage of stem cell culture dishes of corresponding sizes and heights, thus enabling the cell culture box shell to hold more layers of stem cell culture dishes.

[0020] The electric telescopic rod, limiting slide, hinge rod, and fixing plate are designed to minimize the distance between the two culture dish placement plates when they are stored, thereby saving more space and making it easier to store more stem cell culture dishes.

[0021] The threaded rod is removable, making it easy to remove the culture dish mounting plate for cleaning. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Key reference Figure 1-3 The device mainly includes a cell culture chamber shell 1, a chamber door 2, a culture dish placement plate 5, and a controller 15.

[0030] A door 2 is hinged to the cell culture incubator shell 1, meaning the cell culture incubator shell 1 is connected to the door 2 via a hinge. A base 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cell culture incubator shell 1. An iron plate is provided on the front frame of the cell culture incubator shell 1, and a magnetic strip 3 is fixedly installed on the door 2, which cooperates with the iron plate to adhere and fix it. Furthermore, an elastic rubber layer is provided on the door 2, allowing it to maintain a sealed state when the cell culture incubator shell 1 is closed. A door lock is also provided on both the cell culture incubator shell 1 and the door 2.

[0031] The cell culture chamber shell 1 has multiple culture dish placement plates 5 arranged in parallel from top to bottom inside the cavity. The bottom of the bottom culture dish placement plate 5 is fixedly connected to a support plate 13, and the bottom of the support plate 13 is fixedly installed inside the bottom of the cell culture chamber shell 1.

[0032] The distance between two adjacent culture dish mounting plates 5 is adjustable. The specific structure is as follows: two fixed plates 11 are fixedly connected to the top center of the culture dish mounting plate 5 on the lower side; electric telescopic rods 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the culture dish mounting plate 5 on the upper side; the two electric telescopic rods 9 are symmetrically arranged; the telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods 9 are connected to limiting slide plates 8; a limiting groove 7 is opened at the bottom of the culture dish mounting plate 5 on the upper side; the limiting slide plates 8 are slidably connected to the limiting groove 7 on the left and right; the two limiting slide plates 8 are respectively hinged to the two fixed plates 11 with hinge rods 10, so that culture dishes of different heights can be placed in the space between multiple culture dish mounting plates 5, thereby allowing more culture dishes of different sizes to be placed in the cell culture box shell 1 cavity of a certain space.

[0033] A controller 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cell culture chamber shell 1. The controller 15 is equipped with a battery, buttons, and a control panel. Multiple buttons cooperate with each electric telescopic rod 9 to control the automatic extension and retraction of the corresponding electric telescopic rod 9. The electric telescopic rod 9 can be any type of hydraulic rod, cylinder, or electromechanical telescopic rod.

[0034] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a technical means was added to enable multiple culture dish mounting plates 5 to move stably up and down.

[0035] Key reference Figure 2-3 This embodiment mainly includes a threaded rod 6, a sleeve plate 14, and a nut 16.

[0036] Multiple culture dish placement plates 5 have first sliding holes 12 on both sides, and cell culture box shell 1 has second sliding holes 17 on both sides of the top. Two threaded rods 6 pass through the two second sliding holes 17 and multiple first sliding holes 12 on both sides respectively. The threaded rods 6 are threadedly connected to nuts 16 at the top of the cell culture box shell 1.

[0037] Two sleeve plates 14 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the cell culture chamber shell 1, and the bottoms of the two threaded rods 6 are inserted into the sleeve plates 14.

[0038] The other features of Example 2 are the same as those of Example 1.

[0039] In practice, the various stem cell culture dishes are first categorized. Stem cell culture dishes of the same preset height are grouped together. Then, the two electrically operated telescopic rods 9 between the bottom two culture dish mounting plates 5 are extended, placing the first type of stem cell culture dishes of the same preset height between the bottom two culture dish mounting plates 5. At this point, the distance between the bottom two culture dish mounting plates 5 is slightly higher than the height of this type of stem cell culture dish. Then, another type of stem cell culture dish of the same preset height is placed between the second and third to last culture dish mounting plates 5. Again, the corresponding electrically operated telescopic rods 9 are extended, so that the distance between the second and third to last culture dish mounting plates 5 is slightly higher than the height of the other type of stem cell culture dish of the same preset height. This process is repeated, allowing multiple types of stem cell culture dishes of preset heights to be placed relatively space-efficiently within the cell culture chamber shell 1. This maximizes the number of rows of stem cell culture dishes that can be placed within the cell culture chamber shell 1. Compared to the traditional fixed-distance two culture dish mounting plates 5, this device saves space and allows for the placement of more culture dishes.

[0040] Furthermore, the hinge rod 10 can be almost horizontal when it is retracted, so that the space between the two culture dish placement plates 5 can be very small when no stem cell culture dishes are placed there. This allows the space in the cell culture box shell 1 to better accommodate more and more stem cell culture dishes.

[0041] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
