Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] Example: See Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a perfusion device for stem cell culture, comprising a base 1, a mounting block on one side of the top surface of the base 1, a control panel 2 hinged to one side of the top surface of the mounting block, a culture tank 3 inserted into the center of the top surface of the base 1, a sealing cap 4 threaded onto the top surface of the culture tank 3, and multiple liquid inlets 5 equidistantly arranged along the axial side of the top surface of the sealing cap 4. The liquid inlets 5 are connected to pipes 6 via connecting components, and a culture medium bag 7 is located at the end of the pipes 6. The insertion and connection between the base 1 and the culture tank 3 facilitates the installation and fixation of the culture tank 3, improving the stability of the equipment operation; the threaded connection between the sealing cap 4 and the liquid inlets 5 facilitates quick sealing and opening, improving the convenience of operation, and enabling rapid replacement and replenishment of the culture medium. A liquid injection tube is provided on one side of the top surface of the culture tank 7, and a bottle cap is screwed onto the injection tube. Multiple anti-slip grooves are evenly spaced on the bottle cap. A liquid outlet is provided on one side of the bottom of the culture tank 3. The addition and sealing of the culture medium is facilitated by the screwing of the injection tube of the culture medium bag 7 and the bottle cap, which improves the convenience of operation. The liquid outlet design at the bottom of the culture tank 3 facilitates the discharge of waste liquid and improves the efficiency of the culture process. Multiple mounting seats are evenly spaced on the opposite surface of the mounting block and the culture tank 3. A speed controller 8 is installed on one of the mounting seats. A pipe 6 is clamped through the speed controller 8. The clamping and cooperation between the speed controller 8 and the pipe 6 facilitates the precise adjustment of the flow rate of the culture medium, improves the control accuracy of the culture process, and enables efficient delivery and distribution of the culture medium.

[0019] In this invention, the pipe 6 is made of plastic flexible tubing. A drive motor is located in the center of the top surface of the sealing cap 4. A rotating shaft is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor, and a stirring blade 9 is fixed to the bottom end of the rotating shaft. The coaxial cooperation between the stirring blade 9 and the drive motor facilitates uniform stirring of the culture medium, improving the mixing effect of the culture medium and enabling efficient culture of stem cells. The connecting component includes an inner sleeve 10, on which multiple locking steel balls 11 are equidistantly arranged along the axial distance. A sliding sleeve 12 is fitted over the inner sleeve 10, with a lifting spring at the bottom end of the sliding sleeve 12. A limiting block is located on the top surface of the inner sleeve 10. The lower half of the sliding sleeve 12 abuts against the locking steel balls 11, and the upper half of the sliding sleeve 12 has a spring-loaded groove. The cooperation between sleeve 10 and sliding sleeve 12 facilitates quick connection and disassembly of pipe 6, improving operational convenience. The locking steel ball 11 and sliding sleeve 12 abut against each other, ensuring the stability of the connection and improving the reliability of equipment operation. The inlet 5 is provided with an internal thread, and an external threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner sleeve 10. A partition is provided between the external threaded cylinder and the inner sleeve 10. An outer sleeve extends from the partition at the outer wall of the inlet 5. Waterproof rubber is provided between the outer sleeve and the inlet 5. The screwing cooperation between the internal thread and the external threaded cylinder facilitates quick connection between the inlet 5 and pipe 6, improving operational convenience. The waterproof rubber design ensures the sealing of the connection, prevents culture medium leakage, and improves equipment safety.

[0020] Working principle: When using this utility model, first align the inner sleeve 10 at the end of the pipe 6 with the inlet 5. Initial fixation is achieved by screwing the external threaded sleeve into the internal thread of the inlet 5. Then, push the sliding sleeve 12 downwards, compressing the lifting spring. This causes the lower half of the sliding sleeve 12 to disengage from the locking ball 11, making the locking ball 11 face outwards, facilitating the smooth insertion of the pipe 6 into the inner sleeve 10. After the pipe 6 is inserted, release the sliding sleeve 12. The lifting spring pushes the sliding sleeve 12 upwards, causing the lower half of the sliding sleeve 12 to abut against the locking ball 11. The locking ball 11 moves inwards to abut against the outer wall of the pipe 6, locking it in place. The installation of the pipe 6 and the inlet 5 is then complete.
