Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bioengineering technology, and in particular to an NK cell modification stirrer. Background Technology

[0002] NK cells, or natural killer cells, are the core warriors of the body's innate immune system. They are named for their ability to quickly identify and eliminate abnormal cells without prior sensitization. Like patrolmen of the immune system, they can precisely target cancer cells, cells infected by viruses or bacteria, and directly destroy the cell membrane of target cells by releasing perforin and granzyme cytotoxic substances, or regulate the immune response by secreting cytokines such as interferon, thus building the first line of immune defense for the body.

[0003] NK cell modification stirrers are specialized stirring devices used in the field of bioengineering for the in vitro modification and culture of NK cells. Their core function is to provide a stable suspension culture environment for cells, while also achieving efficient mixing in conjunction with gene editing and protein modification processes. However, ordinary stirrers cause the nutrient substrate in the nutrient solution to settle to the bottom of the container, and the stirrer rubs against the bottom of the container, which cannot provide the optimal microenvironment. Furthermore, the friction between the stirrer and the bottom of the container may contaminate the nutrient solution, causing the modification to fail. Utility Model Content

[0032] Specifically, a fixed plate 12 is firmly connected to the upper opening of container 1. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on the top plane of the fixed plate 12 by bolts. A helical gear 4 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 3. The helical gear 4 meshes perfectly with the external teeth of the spur gear 5. The inner hole of the spur gear 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6. The two sides of the rotating shaft 6 are respectively connected to two rotating shafts 7 to form a meshing transmission relationship. Multiple paddles 8 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of each rotating shaft 7. These paddles 8 are arranged in a fan shape and can effectively agitate the liquid. The middle section of the rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the waterproof box 10 through a waterproof rotating bearing 11. The rotating bearing 11 is installed in the inner cavity of the waterproof box 10 to ensure the smooth operation of the transmission system. A water inlet 9 is opened at the front end of the fixed plate 12. A temperature control mechanism 2 is integrated on the outer wall of container 1. The temperature control mechanism 2 can accurately adjust and maintain the internal temperature of container 1 within the set range.

[0033] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 The temperature control mechanism 2 includes a heat dissipation pipe 201. The outer wall of the heat dissipation pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the container 1. A condenser pipe 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the container 1.

All components of the temperature control mechanism 2 are tightly integrated, forming a complete temperature regulation system.

[0035] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 The bottom of container 1 is fixedly connected to a load-bearing plate 16, the bottom of the load-bearing plate 16 is fixedly connected to a support column 17, the bottom of the cooler 204 is fixedly connected to a fixing column 18, the bottom of the compressor 205 is fixedly connected to a fixing column 18, the top of container 1 is fixedly connected to a top cover 13, and the inner wall of container 1 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 20.

[0036] Specifically, a load-bearing plate 16 is firmly fixed to the bottom of container 1. Four support columns 17 are evenly distributed and fixed to the bottom of the load-bearing plate 16. These support columns 17 are vertically installed to ensure the stability of the overall structure. Inside the equipment, two symmetrically distributed fixed columns 18 are fixed to the bottom of the refrigerator 204 by bolts. Similarly, the bottom of the compressor 205 is also supported by the same fixed columns 18. A circular top cover 13 is fixedly connected to the top edge of container 1. A sealing gasket is provided between the top cover 13 and container 1 to ensure airtightness. In addition, a discharge pipe 20 is horizontally fixed to the inner wall of container 1 near the bottom. One end of the discharge pipe 20 extends to the outside of container 1 to facilitate material output.

[0037] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 The outer wall of the heat dissipation pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the heat insulation layer 15, the outer wall of the condenser pipe 202 is fixedly connected to the heat insulation layer 15, the outer wall of the discharge pipe 20 is rotatably connected to the valve 21, the outer wall of the discharge pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the water pump 19, the outer wall of the top cover 13 is rotatably connected to the flip cover 14, and the top of the flip cover 14 is fixedly connected to the handle 22.

[0038] Specifically, a heat insulation layer 15 is firmly fixed to the outer wall of the heat dissipation pipe 201, which can effectively reduce heat loss.

[0039] Working principle: When using the equipment, cells and culture medium are poured into container 1 through water inlet 9. Then, motor 3 is turned on to drive helical gear 4 to rotate, which in turn drives spur gear 5 to rotate. Spur gear 5 drives rotating shaft 6 to rotate. Spur gear 5 in other positions on rotating shaft 6 also rotates, causing other helical gears 4 meshing with spur gear 5 to rotate, which drives rotating shaft 7 to rotate. This causes the paddle 8 on rotating shaft 7 to rotate, stirring the liquid and bringing the liquid at the bottom to the top. A fixing plate 12 is fixed on the top of container 1, which restricts the position of rotating shaft 6, preventing it from rubbing against the bottom of container 1 and causing contamination. Finally, valve 21 is opened to allow the liquid to flow out from discharge pipe 20, achieving gentle stirring of the liquid and preventing it from sinking to the bottom and causing contamination.

[0040] When using the equipment, the temperature needs to be maintained within a certain range. A condenser tube 202 and a heat dissipation tube 201 are wound around the outer wall of the container 1. Coolant flows inside the condenser tube 202, and heat transfer oil flows inside the heat dissipation tube 201. The condenser tube 202 is connected to the refrigerator 204 through the connecting pipe 203, and the heat dissipation tube 201 is connected to the compressor 205 through the connecting pipe 203. Under normal circumstances, the refrigerator 204 and the compressor 205 keep the temperature fixed at a suitable temperature. If the temperature inside the equipment is too high, the refrigerator 204 lowers the temperature of the coolant in the condenser tube 202 to cool the equipment. If the temperature is too low, the compressor 205 is turned on to raise the temperature of the heat transfer oil in the heat dissipation tube 201 to heat the equipment, thus achieving the function of controlling the equipment temperature within a certain range.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
