Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell culture technology, specifically a portable cell culture transfer box. Background Technology
[0002] Cell culture is a method of simulating 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 is generally carried out in a laboratory. Since the equipment for culturing cells in the laboratory is large and inconvenient to carry, portable cell culture transfer boxes are generally used to transfer culture dishes.
[0003] However, when transferring test tube-type culture dishes, the test tubes are usually inserted into a tray with multiple holes. However, since the holes are usually of a fixed size, the tray cannot hold test tubes of different diameters, thus reducing its versatility.
[0004] In view of this, we propose a portable cell culture transfer box. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable cell culture transfer box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a portable cell culture transfer box, comprising a culture box body, characterized in that: two vertically distributed tray frame modules are arranged inside the culture box body, each tray frame module includes a second tray, slide rails are slidably connected to both sides of the second tray, magnetic blocks are fixedly connected through and near the middle of the side wall of the culture box body on each slide rail, two limiting holes are provided through and near the side wall of the culture box body on each slide rail, a first tray is fixedly connected to the bottom of each second tray, two rows of evenly distributed mounting holes are provided through and near the top of each second tray, cell culture tubes are arranged inside each mounting hole, and the bottom of the cell culture tubes passes through the first tray, a fixed seat is fixedly connected through and near the middle of the top of the second tray, springs are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the fixed seat, and the springs are embedded in grooves on the second tray, a second V-shaped clamp is fixedly connected to the other end of each spring, and the second V-shaped clamp passes through and is slidably connected to the second tray, the other end of the second V-shaped clamp abuts against one side of the outer wall of the cell culture tube.
[0007] Preferably, two small iron blocks are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both the left and right sides of the incubator body, and the positions of the small iron blocks correspond to the positions of the magnetic blocks. The magnetic blocks are embedded in the slide rail, and the outer surface of the magnetic blocks is flush with the plane of the slide rail.
[0008] Preferably, the small iron block is embedded in the inner wall of the incubator body, and the exposed plane of the small iron block is flush with the inner wall of the incubator body. The magnetic block is a strong magnet, and the small iron block can attract each other with the magnetic block.
[0009] Preferably, the inner walls of both sides of the incubator are fixedly connected with evenly distributed positioning posts, and the positioning posts pass through and cooperate with the limiting holes.
[0010] Preferably, the fixing seats are distributed laterally, and the fixing seats are aligned front and back with the positions of the cell culture test tubes.
[0011] Preferably, a first V-shaped clamp is provided on the side wall of the cell culture tube opposite to the second V-shaped clamp, and the first V-shaped clamp passes through and is fixedly connected to the second tray. Both the first V-shaped clamp and the second V-shaped clamp are made of silicone.
[0012] Preferably, both the second tray and the first tray have uniformly distributed through holes on their surfaces, and the size of the hole through which the cell culture tube penetrates the top of the first tray is smaller than the diameter of the cell culture tube.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a portable cell culture transfer box, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This portable cell culture transfer box features an adjustable gap between a first V-shaped clamp and a second V-shaped clamp, achieved by incorporating a spring. Under compression, the spring's pressure on the first V-shaped clamp ensures that the cell culture tubes are clamped by both clamps, thus maintaining stability while allowing for the restriction of cell culture tubes of different sizes and specifications, thereby improving the versatility of the incubator.
[0015] This portable cell culture transfer box, through the combination of limiting holes and positioning columns, and the adsorption effect of magnetic blocks and small iron blocks, allows the slide rail to be installed on the inner wall of the culture box and can also be quickly removed. This reduces dead corners and makes cleaning the inside of the culture box more thorough. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-4 A portable cell culture transfer box includes a culture box body 1. Inside the culture box body 1 are two vertically distributed tray frame modules 2. Each tray frame module 2 includes a second tray 8. Slide rails 9 are slidably connected to both sides of the second tray 8. Magnetic blocks 13 are fixedly connected through the middle of the slide rails 9 near the side wall of the culture box body 1. Two limiting holes 15 are provided through the slide rails 9 near the side wall of the culture box body 1. A first tray 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each second tray 8. Two evenly distributed... The mounting holes 14 are provided with cell culture tubes 5 inside each mounting hole 14. The bottom of the cell culture tubes 5 passes through the first tray 7, and the top center of the second tray 8 is connected to a uniformly linearly distributed fixing seat 12. Springs 11 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the fixing seat 12, and the springs 11 are embedded in the grooves on the second tray 8. The other end of each spring 11 is fixedly connected to a second V-shaped clamp 10, which passes through and slides through the second tray 8. The other end of the second V-shaped clamp 10 abuts against one side of the outer wall of the cell culture tube 5. More specifically, when it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the incubator body 1, the second tray 8 can be pulled out from the front side of the slide rail 9, and then the slide rail 9 can be removed from the side wall of the incubator body 1. At this time, the inner wall of the incubator body 1 can be cleaned without dead corners.
[0027] In this embodiment, two small iron blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both the left and right sides of the incubator body 1, and the positions of the small iron blocks 4 correspond to the positions of the magnetic blocks 13. The magnetic blocks 13 are embedded in the interior of the slide rail 9, and the outer surface of the magnetic blocks 13 is flush with the surface of the slide rail 9. More specifically, this ensures that the slide rail 9 fits tightly against the inner wall of the incubator body 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, the small iron block 4 is embedded in the inner wall of the incubator body 1, and the exposed surface of the small iron block 4 is flush with the inner wall of the incubator body 1. The magnetic block 13 is a strong magnet, and the small iron block 4 can attract each other with the magnetic block 13. The mutual attraction between the magnetic block 13 and the small iron block 4 ensures that the slide rail 9 is attracted to the side wall of the incubator body 1. By designing the small iron block 4 and the inner wall of the incubator body 1 to be flush, the dead corners inside the incubator body 1 are reduced, making cleaning easier.
[0029] In this embodiment, evenly distributed positioning posts 3 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the incubator body 1, and the positioning posts 3 penetrate through and cooperate with the limiting holes 15. More specifically, the cooperation between the positioning posts 3 and the limiting holes 15 provides a limiting and supporting function for the slide rail 9.
[0030] In this embodiment, the fixing seats 12 are distributed laterally, and the fixing seats 12 are aligned front and back with the positions of the cell culture test tubes 5. More specifically, the fixing seats 12 are located in the center between the two cell culture test tubes 5, and the fixing seats 12 serve to fix the springs 11.
[0031] In this embodiment, a first V-shaped clamp 6 is provided on the side wall of the cell culture tube 5 opposite to the second V-shaped clamp 10, and the first V-shaped clamp 6 passes through and is fixedly connected to the second tray 8. Both the first V-shaped clamp 6 and the second V-shaped clamp 10 are made of silicone. More specifically, the cell culture tube 5 can be clamped by the second V-shaped clamp 10 and the first V-shaped clamp 6.
[0032] In this embodiment, both the second tray 8 and the first tray 7 have uniformly distributed through holes on their surfaces. The size of the hole through which the cell culture tube 5 penetrates the top of the first tray 7 is smaller than the diameter of the cell culture tube 5. More specifically, by providing uniformly distributed through holes, material can be saved and weight reduced. When the hole size is smaller than the bottom size of the cell culture tube 5, it provides support for the cell culture tube 5.
[0033] In actual operation, when this device is used, the cell culture tube 5 is first inserted into the gap between the first V-shaped clamp 6 and the second V-shaped clamp 10. Then, the spring 11 will contract under pressure, and the gap between the first V-shaped clamp 6 and the second V-shaped clamp 10 will increase, so that the cell culture tube 5 can be inserted into the mounting hole 14. When the bottom of the cell culture tube 5 is inserted into the hole on the first tray 7, the cell culture tube 5 is fixed. Under the action of the spring 11, the second V-shaped clamp 10 will tightly press against the cell culture tube 5. Since the second V-shaped clamp 10 is movable, the gap between the second V-shaped clamp 10 and the first V-shaped clamp 6 can be adjusted, so that cell culture tubes 5 of different sizes can be clamped. When it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the incubator body 1, the second tray 8 can be pulled out from the front side of the slide rail 9, and then the slide rail 9 can be removed from the side wall of the incubator body 1. At this time, the inner wall of the incubator body 1 can be cleaned without dead corners.
[0034] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
