Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cell culture flasks, and in particular to a cell culture flask with a support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Cell culture is a method that simulates the in vivo environment (sterile, suitable temperature, pH and certain nutritional conditions, etc.) in vitro to enable cells to survive, grow, reproduce and maintain their main structure and function. Cell culture flasks are a commonly used tool in cell culture.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN221854642U, which discloses a cell culture flask with a cap, comprising a culture flask and a cap. The culture flask has a bottleneck on its right side, and the cap is installed on the bottleneck. A support frame is provided at the bottom edge of the culture flask. A cap is placed on top of the culture flask, and a bottle-locking block is provided at the top edge of the culture flask. A cap-locking groove adapted to the bottle-locking block is provided at the bottom edge of the cap, and the bottle-locking block is embedded in the cap-locking groove. The bottleneck is tilted upwards.

[0004] In summary, existing cell culture flask support frames are only located at the bottom edge of the flask and cushioning is achieved through elastic structural components (such as silicone blocks). However, they lack precise positioning structures. In actual use, the culture flask may shift due to external impacts or operational errors, affecting experimental stability.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the designer has actively researched and innovated in order to create a cell culture flask with a support structure, making it more industrially valuable. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] The first embodiment of this utility model:

[0042] like Figure 1 The cell culture flask with a support structure in this embodiment includes, from top to bottom, a culture flask assembly 1 and a support assembly 2.

[0043] like Figures 2-3 The culture bottle assembly 1 in this embodiment mainly includes a culture bottle 11, a top cover 12, and a bottle cap 16.

[0044] The culture flask 11 has a top opening design. A top cover 12 is installed at the top opening of the culture flask 11 along the left and right direction. A neck section 15 with an upward and rightward tilt is provided on the right side of the culture flask 11. The neck section 15 is connected to the inner culture flask 11. A bottle cap 16 is installed on the neck section 15 by means of a threaded connection.

[0045] Several upward-facing positioning grooves 13 are evenly provided on the bottom of the culture bottle 11 along the left and right directions. A first ramp 14 inclined to the upper right is provided between the neck 15 and the culture bottle 11 on the left side. A boss 17 is provided on the neck 15 and the culture bottle 11 on the left side. The boss 17 can limit the screw-in depth of the bottle cap 16.

[0046] like Figure 6 The support component 2 in this embodiment mainly includes a support base 21 and a side wall 22 located on the left side of the support base 21, so that the overall support component 2 is formed into an approximately L-shaped structure.

[0047] The support base 21 is evenly provided with upward protruding positioning blocks 24 along the left and right directions. On the right side of the support base 21, from left to right, a second ramp 25 and a third ramp 26 are arranged in sequence, wherein the second ramp 25 is inclined to the upper right and the third ramp 26 is inclined to the lower right.

[0048] When culture flask assembly 1 and support assembly 2 are installed together:

[0049] The positioning block 24 is embedded in the positioning groove 13 at the top, which can accurately fix the position of the culture bottle 11 and avoid horizontal displacement. It is especially suitable for experimental scenarios that require multiple bottles to be fixed side by side.

[0050] A handle 23 is installed on the left side of the side wall 22. The left side wall 22 covers the culture bottle 11 to form three-dimensional protection and reduce the risk of collision.

[0051] The first ramp 14 and the second ramp 25 are adapted to support the inclined structure of the bottleneck section 15 and enhance the overall stability.

[0052] Meanwhile, the third ramp 26 slopes downwards to the right, which can avoid obstructing the bottleneck section 15 above, and can also guide the flow of liquid when pouring liquid to reduce residue.

[0053] In addition, a guide vane 18 inclined downward to the left is provided on the top side inside the bottleneck section 15. The guide vane 18 facilitates better guidance of the liquid entering through the bottleneck section 15.

[0054] The second embodiment of this utility model:

[0055] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 The top cover 12 has hooks 121 distributed in the left and right direction on both the front and rear bottom sides. The culture bottle 11 below the hooks 121 has slots 111 distributed in the left and right direction on both the front and rear sides. When the top cover 12 is installed on the culture bottle 11, the hooks 121 are engaged in the slots 111 on the culture bottle 11 below.

[0056] In addition, in order to provide some guidance for the installation of the top cover 12, a first sliding groove 122 (distributed along the left and right direction) is provided at the bottom of the top cover 12 inside the hook 121. A first slider 112 (distributed along the left and right direction) is provided on the culture bottle 11 directly below the first sliding groove 122. The first slider 112 is installed in the first sliding groove 122 above in the left and right direction.

[0057] The third embodiment of this utility model:

[0058] like Figures 7-9 A platform component 3 is also provided below the support base 21, which can further support the support base 21.

[0059] Platform component 3 includes platform 31, on which a second slider 32 is provided along the left and right direction. A second groove 27 is provided at the bottom of the support base 21 directly above the second slider 32. The second groove 27 is installed on the lower second slider 32 along the left and right direction.

[0060] The support base 21 is connected to the second slide groove 27 of the platform 31 via the second slider 32, allowing it to slide freely in the left and right directions. During experiments, the position can be adjusted without moving the culture flasks, facilitating simultaneous operation of multiple experiments or equipment docking, while also reducing the risk of contamination caused by handling.

[0061] In addition, in order to limit the movement of the support seat 21, limit mounting grooves 34 are provided on the platforms 31 on both sides of the second slider 32. Limit blocks 33 are installed in the limit mounting grooves 34 by means of bolts and screw holes. The limit blocks 33 limit the movement of the inner support seat 21.
