Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cell culture technology, specifically relating to a waste storage box for cell culture. Background Technology
[0002] Cell culture is a key technology in biological and medical research, involving the in vitro simulation of the in vivo environment to provide cells with suitable conditions such as sterility, temperature, humidity, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, enabling them to survive, grow, reproduce, and maintain their main structures and functions. Cell culture technology is widely used in many fields, including biological research, medical research, drug development and production, biopharmaceutical manufacturing, and the development of disease models.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN202421335598.5 discloses a waste storage box for cell culture, comprising an outer frame, a rotating shaft, a lid, a first handle, a hopper, a strainer, a solid hopper, a liquid hopper, a hose, a baffle, and a waste bin. The rotating shaft is fixed to the rear top of the outer frame, and the lid is rotatably connected to the front of the rotating shaft, with the lid located at the top of the outer frame. The first handle is fixed to the front of the lid. The hopper is fixed to the inner top of the outer frame, and a solid hopper and a liquid hopper are fixed to the lower part of the hopper, with the liquid hopper located directly below the hopper. This invention uses a sealing ring and a waste bin to seal the device, enhancing its airtightness and preventing hazards to cleaning personnel.
[0004] 1. The aforementioned patent has the problem of being unable to classify waste. Although the device can perform solid-liquid separation, it cannot classify different types of cellular waste, leading to cross-contamination when the waste is disposed of in a centralized manner. 2. The aforementioned patent has the problem of being unable to fix the outer frame. The casters allow the outer frame to move, but not fixing the device will cause the outer frame to tip over, potentially causing a safety accident. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example 2
[0033] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the support mechanism 8 includes a rotating frame 1 81, a rotating plate 82, a rotating frame 2 83, a support plate 84, a circular hole 85, and a circular rod 86. The rotating plate 82 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating frame 1 81, and the rotating frame 2 83 is rotatably connected to the side of the rotating plate 82 away from the rotating frame 1 81. The support plate 84 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating frame 2 83. Circular holes 85 are opened on the sides of both the rotating frame 1 81 and the rotating frame 2 83, and a circular rod 86 is provided on the inner side of the circular hole 85.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating frame 1 81 and the rotating frame 2 83 include two connecting plates and a long rod. When the entire device needs to be fixed, step on the support plate 84 with your foot, hold the pull rod 5 with your hand and pull the device backward. The rotating plate 82 will rotate around the two rotating frames. When the rotating plate 82 is perpendicular to the two rotating frames, insert the round rod 85 into the round hole 86 on the surface of the two rotating frames to fix the rotating plate 82, so that the rotating plate 82 can be kept in a vertical state to support the outer frame 1.
[0035] Specifically, a magnet 87 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 84.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnet 87 can allow the support plate 84 to be attracted to the bottom of the outer frame 1 when it is folded up, making it easy to store.
[0037] In this embodiment, rotating frame 1 81 and rotating frame 2 83 each contain two connecting plates and a long rod. When the entire device needs to be fixed, step on the support plate 84 with your foot, hold the pull rod 5 with your hand and pull the device backward. The rotating plate 82 will rotate around the two rotating frames. When the rotating plate 82 is perpendicular to both rotating frames, insert the round rod 85 into the round hole 86 on the surface of the two rotating frames to fix the rotating plate 82. This will keep the rotating plate 82 in a vertical state and support the outer frame 1. The magnet 87 can make the support plate 84 adhere to the bottom of the outer frame 1 when it is retracted, making it easy to store. The force when the rotating plate 82 is perpendicular to the support plate 84 can achieve the effect of fixing the entire device.
[0038] The structure and operating principle of the outer frame 1, pull rod 5, top cover 6 and caster wheel 7 in this utility model have been disclosed in a cell culture waste storage box disclosed in Chinese patent application number CN202421335598.5.
[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the outer frame 1 is made of metal and can be moved via the pull rod 5 and universal wheels 7. Multiple sorting boxes 41 can be inserted into the storage box 2 through the square groove 3. Holding the sorting box 41 by hand and inserting the slider 42 at the bottom of the sorting box 41 into the sliding groove 43, multiple sorting boxes 41 can be fixed below the discharge trough 9. Each sorting box 41 corresponds to a type of waste. Removing the sorting box 41 from the square groove 3 allows the waste inside to be emptied. Pushing the insert plate 46 into the insertion hole 44 and fixing it in the fixing groove 45 seals the sorting box 41, preventing waste from overflowing. When waste needs to be poured in, pulling the insert plate 46 out of the insertion hole 44 allows waste to be poured into the discharge trough 9. A label plate 472 can be inserted into the U-shaped frame 471, displaying information about the waste. A glass plate 473 prevents waste from contaminating the label plate 472. When dumping garbage, the information on the label plate 472 should be used to select the dumping location. The sealing ring 48 can improve the sealing effect when the insert plate 46 is inserted into the fixing groove 45. The classification and storage of waste through the classification box 41 can improve the rigor of the experiment and reduce the difficulty of subsequent work. The rotating frame 1 81 and rotating frame 2 83 contain two connecting plates and a long rod. When the entire device needs to be fixed, step on the support plate 84 with your foot, hold the pull rod 5 with your hand and pull the device backward. The rotating plate 82 will rotate around the two rotating frames. When the rotating plate 82 is perpendicular to the two rotating frames, insert the round rod 85 into the round hole 86 on the surface of the two rotating frames to fix the rotating plate 82. This will keep the rotating plate 82 in a vertical state and support the outer frame 1. The magnet 87 can make the support plate 84 adhere to the bottom of the outer frame 1 when it is retracted, which is convenient for storage. The force when the rotating plate 82 is perpendicular to the support plate 84 can achieve the effect of fixing the entire device.
