[0002] Currently, cell culture plates play an important role in biological science research and medical applications.

[0003] However, the relevant technologies have at least one of the following problems: most of the current mainstream cell culture plates adopt an integrated structure, which fixes the base and functional modules together and cannot be disassembled; this integrated design makes the cell culture plate only suitable for a single type of cell culture operation. For example, cell culture plates of fixed specifications can only be used for cell culture experiments of a specific scale. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is that most current mainstream cell culture plates adopt an integrated structure, which fixes the base and functional modules together and cannot be disassembled or separated. This integrated design makes the cell culture plate only suitable for a single type of cell culture operation. For example, a fixed-size cell culture plate can only be used for cell culture experiments of a specific scale.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a detachable cell culture plate, comprising: a base, which is disposed at a target position and has an installation groove on one side; a functional module, which is installed on the side of the base away from the target position; and a locking component, which is disposed on the side of the functional module near the base and at least a portion of the structure of the locking component is located in the installation groove; wherein the functional module is detachably connected to the base via the locking component.

[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: Compared with the integrated structure of base and functional module fixed connection in most related technologies, this utility model sets a locking component on the functional module, so that the functional module can be detachably installed on the base, so as to facilitate the replacement of different functional modules; it enables the cell culture plate to meet diverse experimental requirements and avoids the need to transfer slides multiple times for different experiments; for example, the culture type functional module can be changed during the cell culture stage; during the cell staining stage, the corresponding staining type functional module can be changed, eliminating the need to transfer slides between different cell culture plates.

[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, the functional module is provided with a positioning element corresponding to the mounting slot; the locking component includes: a control part, which is located on the positioning element; and a locking part, which is located on the side of the control part near the mounting slot.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: On the one hand, the positioning component provides installation conditions for the control unit, enabling the functional module to be installed more accurately on the base; on the other hand, the positioning component and the mounting slot are correspondingly set so that the locking component can reliably lock with the mounting slot.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the control part includes: a knob; a connecting rod, the connecting rod being disposed on the side of the knob near the mounting groove; the locking part includes: a connector, one end of the connector being connected to the connecting rod; and an abutment, the abutment being disposed on the side of the connector away from the connecting rod, and both ends of the connector being provided with connectors.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the structure of the control unit and the locking unit is clarified, and through the cooperation of the knob, connecting rod, connecting part and abutment part, the operator can easily rotate the knob to control the relative posture of the abutment part, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking operation of the functional module and the base.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the base is further provided with a sliding groove, which communicates with the mounting groove; the abutting member includes an adjacent abutting surface and a rolling surface; wherein, when the knob is rotated in the first direction, the abutting surface abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove, and the functional module is locked on the base; when the knob is rotated in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the abutting surface disengages from the side wall, the rolling surface abuts against the bottom surface of the mounting groove, and the functional module disengages from the base along the sliding groove.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: by rotating the knob in different directions, the contact surface and the side wall of the mounting groove can be reliably controlled, as well as the contact surface and the bottom surface of the mounting groove. This enables the functional module to be stably locked and smoothly disengaged from the base. The entire operation process is simple and precise.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the control unit further includes: a wave-shaped wall, which is located on the side of the positioning member away from the knob; a locking rod, which is located on the side of the wave-shaped wall away from the positioning member, and the locking rod abuts against the wave-shaped wall; wherein, when the locking rod is located in the recess of the wave-shaped wall, the rolling surface abuts against the bottom surface; when the locking rod is located in the protrusion of the wave-shaped wall, the abutting surface abuts against the side wall.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by adding a corrugated wall and a locking rod, and by utilizing the state of the locking rod at different positions of the corrugated wall, the contact relationship between the abutting part and the bottom or side wall of the mounting groove can be further precisely controlled, making the locking and unlocking process more stable and reliable.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the control unit includes: a connecting wall, which is located on the side of the corrugated wall opposite to the knob and is connected to the connecting rod; a spring, which connects the positioning member and the connecting wall; and a locking rod, which is located on the side of the connecting wall close to the corrugated wall.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: the spring provides elastic support for the locking rod, ensuring effective contact between the locking rod and the corrugated wall.

[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, the base has an opening on the side away from the mounting groove; the functional module includes: a frame; a positioning member disposed on the frame; and a stop member disposed on the side of the frame away from the positioning member; wherein, when the functional module is locked on the base, the stop member abuts against the base to block the opening.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: By setting a stop on the functional module, when the functional module is locked on the base, the stop abuts against the base and blocks the base opening. This not only enhances the stability of the connection between the functional module and the base, but also covers and protects the base opening, preventing foreign objects from entering the base and affecting the structural stability and normal operation of the function.

[0019] In one embodiment of this utility model, a placement groove is provided along the length direction of the frame; the functional module further includes: at least one partition plate, which is disposed on the frame to divide the placement groove into at least two chambers; or, a glass cover plate, which is installed in the placement groove and there is a fixed gap between the glass cover plate and the glass slide.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: A placement slot is set along the length of the frame, forming at least two chambers through a partition plate. This allows for diverse culture operations to be performed in different chambers according to different cell culture needs, enabling simultaneous culture of multiple samples. Alternatively, a glass cover is placed in the placement slot to ensure a uniform, fixed height gap between the cover and the slide during staining, allowing a small amount of staining liquid to evenly cover the cell sample surface, avoiding liquid concentration or uneven distribution. This enables the functional module to undergo different morphological and functional changes.

[0021] In one embodiment of this utility model, a placement position is provided on the side of the base away from the functional module, and a glass slide is placed in the placement position; when the stop member blocks the opening, it restricts the movement of the glass slide.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: a placement position is set on the base for placing the slide, and the movement of the slide is restricted when the opening is blocked by a stop, making the placement of the slide more stable and reliable, less prone to displacement during cell culture, and thus improving the accuracy of cell culture experiments.

[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, the cell culture plate further includes: a breathable cover plate, which is disposed on the side of the functional module away from the base to cover the placement slot.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: the ventilated cover ensures air circulation within the placement tank, providing the necessary oxygen exchange conditions for cell culture, while also preventing external dust and debris from entering the placement tank and contaminating the cell culture samples.

[0025] By adopting the technical solution of this utility model, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0026] (1) By setting a locking component on the functional module, the functional module can be detachably installed on the base, so as to facilitate the replacement of different functional modules; the cell culture plate can meet diverse experimental requirements and avoid the situation of transferring glass slides multiple times for different experiments.

[0027] (2) This utility model clarifies the structure of the control unit and the locking unit. Through the cooperation of the knob, connecting rod, connecting part and abutment part, the operator can easily rotate the knob to control the relative posture of the abutment part, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking operation of the functional module and the base.

[0028] (3) The present invention adds a corrugated wall and a locking rod. By utilizing the state of the locking rod at different positions of the corrugated wall, the contact relationship between the abutting part and the bottom or side wall of the mounting groove can be further precisely controlled, making the locking and unlocking process more stable and reliable. Furthermore, by setting a spring, the locking rod can be provided with elastic support force to ensure effective contact between the locking rod and the corrugated wall. Attached Figure Description

[0044] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a detachable cell culture plate provided in an embodiment of the present invention; structure Figures 2 to 10 Specifically, a detachable cell culture plate 100 includes: a base 10, a functional module 20, and a locking component 30; wherein, the base 10 is located at a target position, and a mounting groove 11 is provided on one side of the base 10; the functional module 20 is mounted on the side of the base 10 away from the target position; the locking component 30 is located on the side of the functional module 20 close to the base 10, and at least a portion of the structure of the locking component 30 is located in the mounting groove 11; wherein, the functional module 20 is detachably connected to the base 10 through the locking component 30.

[0046] Preferably, the functional module 20 abuts against the base 10 via the locking component 30.

[0047] Based on actual working conditions, during the process of installing the functional module 20 onto the base 10, the locking component 30 is first rotated in the first direction, at which point the locking component 30 is in an active state. When the functional module 20 is installed onto the base 10, the locking component 30 falls into the mounting groove 11 of the base 10. At the same time, the locking component 30 is rotated in the second direction opposite to the first direction, and the locking component 30 is in a locked state and abuts against the side wall 111 of the mating groove to fix the functional module 20 onto the base 10.

[0048] Furthermore, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The functional module 20 is provided with a positioning element 21 corresponding to the mounting slot 11; the locking component 30 includes a control part 31 and a locking part 32; wherein, the control part 31 is located on the positioning element 21; and the locking part 32 is located on the side of the control part 31 near the mounting slot 11.

[0049] Specifically, a mounting groove 11 is provided on one side of the base 10, and a positioning member 21 is provided for the functional module 20 corresponding to the mounting groove 11; the control part 31 of the locking component 30 is provided on the positioning member 21 and can rotate relative to the positioning member 21; the locking part 32 of the locking component 30 is provided on the side of the control part 31 near the mounting groove 11, and the locking part 32 is connected to the control part 31 by transmission; by rotating the control part 31, the state of the locking part 32 is changed, so that the functional module 20 is locked on the base 10 or the functional module 20 is disengaged from the base 10.

[0050] Furthermore, the control unit 31 includes a knob 311 and a connecting rod 312; wherein the connecting rod 312 is located on the side of the knob 311 near the mounting groove 11; the locking unit 32 includes a connector 321 and an abutment 322, one end of the connector 321 is connected to the connecting rod 312; the abutment 322 is located on the side of the connector 321 away from the connecting rod 312, and both ends of the connector 321 are provided with connectors 321.

[0051] Based on actual usage, rotating the knob 311 drives the connecting rod 312, causing the connecting piece 321 located on the side of the connecting rod 312 away from the knob 311 to drive the abutment piece 322 to rotate synchronously with the knob 311, so that different end faces of the abutment piece 322 form different fits with the mounting groove 11.

[0052] Furthermore, combined with Figures 4 to 5 The base 10 is also provided with a sliding groove 12, which is connected to the mounting groove 11; the abutment 322 includes an adjacent abutment surface 3221 and a rolling surface 3222; when the knob 311 is rotated in the first direction, the abutment surface 3221 abuts against the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11, and the functional module 20 is locked on the base 10; when the knob 311 is rotated in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the abutment surface 3221 disengages from the side wall 111, the rolling surface 3222 abuts against the bottom surface of the mounting groove 11, and the functional module 20 disengages from the base 10 along the sliding groove 12.

[0053] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The abutting part 322 is the wheel body, the rolling surface 3222 is the arc-shaped surface of the wheel body, the abutting surface 3221 is the side wall 111 of the wheel body, and the abutting surface 3221 is connected to the arc-shaped surface.

[0054] In one instance, combined Figures 2 to 5 A slide groove 12 is also provided along the length of the base 10. The slide groove 12 is connected to the mounting groove 11. The functional module 20 moves along the slide groove 12 until the locking component 30 falls into the mounting groove 11. That is, during the movement of the functional module 20 along the slide groove 12, the arc surface of the wheel body contacts the vertical surface of the slide groove 12, so that the wheel body can roll along the slide groove 12. This allows the functional module 20 to move smoothly along the slide groove 12 until the wheel body enters the mounting groove 11. After the wheel body enters the mounting groove 11, the knob 311 is turned in the opposite direction, and the wheel body moves synchronously with the knob 311. This causes the side wall 111 of the wheel body to abut against the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11 near the slide groove 12, thus locking the functional module 20.

[0055] Furthermore, combined with Figures 6 to 9 as well as Figure 11The control unit 31 also includes a corrugated wall 313 and a locking lever 314. The corrugated wall 313 is located on the side of the positioning member 21 away from the knob 311. The locking lever 314 is located on the side of the corrugated wall 313 away from the positioning member 21, and the locking lever 314 abuts against the corrugated wall 313. When the locking lever 314 is located in the recess 3131 of the corrugated wall 313, the rolling surface 3222 abuts against the bottom surface. When the locking lever 314 is located in the protrusion 3132 of the corrugated wall 313, the abutting surface 3221 abuts against the side wall 111.

[0056] Furthermore, the control unit 31 includes: a connecting wall 315 and a spring 316. The connecting wall 315 is located on the side of the corrugated wall 313 away from the knob 311, and the connecting wall 315 is connected to the connecting rod 312. The spring 316 connects the positioning member 21 and the connecting wall 315. The locking rod 314 is located on the side of the connecting wall 315 close to the corrugated wall 313.

[0057] Preferably, the first direction of rotation of the knob 311 is the same as the direction of rotation of the helix of the spring 316.

[0058] In one example, rotating the knob 311 causes the locking lever 314 to move relative to the corrugated wall 313. As the knob 311 rotates in the first direction, the locking lever 314 gradually moves from the recess 3131 of the corrugated wall 313 to the protrusion 3132. At this time, the spring 316 experiences a pulling force that moves it away from the positioning member 21. Until the locking lever 314 reaches the protrusion 3132 of the corrugated wall 313, the spring 316 continues to experience a pulling force and provides a restoring force to the locking lever 314 as it moves towards the positioning member 21, thus maintaining the locking lever 314 at the protrusion 3132 of the corrugated wall 313. When the locking lever 31... When the abutment 322 is in the protrusion 3132, the abutment surface 3221 of the abutment 322 abuts against the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11, so that the abutment 322 is maintained in the current state; in contrast, as the knob 311 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the locking lever 314 gradually moves from the protrusion 3132 of the wave wall 313 to the recess 3131 of the wave wall 313. Under the action of the restoring force of the spring 316, the abutment surface 3221 of the abutment 322 disengages from the side wall 111 of the mounting groove 11 and rotates relative to it, so that the abutment 322 can move along the mounting groove 11 towards the slide groove 12, that is, the functional module 20 disengages from the base 10.

[0059] Furthermore, combined with Figure 10 The base 10 has an opening 13 on the side away from the mounting groove 11; the functional module 20 includes a frame 22 and a stop 23; a positioning member 21 is disposed on the frame 22; the stop 23 is disposed on the side of the frame 22 away from the positioning member 21; wherein, when the functional module 20 is locked on the base 10, the stop 23 abuts against the base 10 to block the opening 13.

[0060] Furthermore, a placement groove 26 is provided along the length direction of the frame 22; the functional module 20 also includes: at least one partition plate 24, which is disposed on the frame 22 to divide the placement groove 26 into at least two chambers 25; or, a glass cover plate 27, which is installed in the placement groove 26 and there is a fixed gap between the glass cover plate 27 and the glass slide.

[0061] Furthermore, the base 10 has a placement position 14 on the side opposite to the functional module 20, and the glass slide is placed in the placement position 14; when the stop member 23 blocks the opening 13, it restricts the movement of the glass slide.

[0062] Preferably, each chamber 25 is provided with a flexible silicone sealing gasket on the side near the mounting groove 11. When the frame is installed on the base, the frame is connected to the glass slide through the flexible silicone sealing gasket.

[0063] Preferably, the glass cover 27 is provided with a support foot at any azimuth angle to ensure that a uniform fixed height gap is formed between the glass cover 27 and the glass slide.

[0064] Please see Figure 10 In one example, two partition plates 24 are provided, so the placement slot 26 is divided into three chambers 25. The three-hole chamber 25 is formed by the cooperation of the partition plates 24 and the frame 22. Each chamber 25 is provided with a flexible silicone sealing gasket on the side near the mounting slot 11. Each chamber is connected to the glass slide through the flexible silicone sealing gasket, so that the frame and the glass slide cooperate to form an independent cell culture area to achieve small-volume cell culture.

[0065] Please see Figure 12 In another example, a glass cover plate 27 is provided in the placement slot 26, so that the frame 22 and the glass cover plate 27 cooperate to form a staining insert. The glass cover plate 27 is provided with a support foot on the side near the placement position 14, so that a fixed height gap is formed between the glass cover plate 27 and the slide, so that the cell sample surface can be evenly covered with a small amount of staining liquid, avoiding the situation of liquid concentration or uneven distribution.

[0066] Furthermore, the cell culture plate 100 also includes a ventilated cover plate, which is located on the side of the functional module 20 away from the base 10 to cover the placement slot 26.

[0067] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
