Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of culture dish racks, and more specifically, to an anti-tipping culture dish rack for cell culture. Background Technology

[0002] A petri dish is a laboratory vessel used for the culture of microorganisms or cells. It is essential for the culturing process. A petri dish typically consists of a flat, disc-shaped base and a lid, usually made of glass or plastic. Glass petri dishes are used for plant material, microbial culture, and may also be used for adherent culture of animal cells. Plastic petri dishes, often made of polyethylene, are available in disposable and reusable versions, suitable for laboratory inoculation, streaking, and bacterial isolation. They can also be used for the culture of plant materials. A large number of petri dishes may be used during the culturing process. Generally, they are placed individually on a shelf, and the appropriate dish is removed when observation is required.

[0003] Various types of petri dish racks have been designed, but traditional petri dish racks are prone to tipping over or shaking, which can cause petri dishes to fall. Existing racks have grooves cut into them, and the petri dishes are placed in the grooves. While this method makes the petri dishes stable, it is inconvenient to remove them from the corresponding grooves because the petri dishes are relatively flat and small.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing an anti-tipping culture dish rack for cell culture. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the dangers of existing petri dish racks that are prone to tipping over or shaking, causing petri dishes to fall. Furthermore, because petri dishes are relatively flat and small, it is inconvenient to remove them after placing them in the corresponding slots.

[0034] Example:

[0035] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment proposes an anti-tipping culture dish rack for cell culture, including a base 1, a U-shaped frame 2, a long rod 4, and a connecting plate 17. The U-shaped frame 2 is fixedly installed on the base 1. The long rod 4 is slidably connected to the side wall of the U-shaped frame 2. A lever 12 drives the long rod 4 to move upward, and the long rod 4 slides upward in the second groove 11. There are two long rods 4, which are fixedly connected by the connecting plate 17. The U-shaped frame 2 is evenly provided with abutment posts 18. The long rod 4 drives the abutment posts 18 to move upward, and the abutment posts 18 push the tray 9. The top of the U-shaped frame 2 has a through groove 3, and the inner wall of the through groove 3 has a first sliding groove 7. A placement mechanism is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 7. The U-shaped frame 2 has a circular groove 5, and an elastic mechanism is provided in the circular groove 5. The bottom front and back of the base 1 are provided with stabilizing mechanisms. The anti-tipping culture dish rack for cell culture of this application is very stable and will not tip over and spill the culture dish. Moreover, it is provided with grooves corresponding to the culture dish. Placing the culture dish in the groove will have a limiting effect. In addition, it is convenient to remove the culture dish from the culture dish rack.

[0036] To facilitate the removal of the culture dish, the placement mechanism includes a slider 8 slidably connected within the first slide groove 7. A tray 9 is provided at the end of the slider 8 away from the first slide groove 7. The slider 8 on the side wall of the tray 9 slides upward along the first slide groove 7. A placement plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the tray 9. The tray 9 pushes the placement plate 10. The bottom of the tray 9 is fixedly connected to a support post 18. The support post 18 pushes the tray 9, and the placement plate 10 pushes the culture dish upward to a certain height, pushing the culture dish out of the through groove 3, making it easier to remove the culture dish.

[0037] In order for the rear placement mechanism to automatically descend after the culture dish is removed, the elastic mechanism includes a spring 6 fixedly installed in the circular groove 5. The end of the spring 6 away from the circular groove 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2. After the culture dish is removed, the lever 12 is released and the spring 6 will spring back.

[0038] To make the petri dish rack more stable, the stabilizing mechanism includes a support frame 14 fixedly installed on the front and back of the base 1. The support frame 14 also serves to support the petri dish rack. The bottom of the support frame 14 is provided with a first anti-slip pad 15, which can also increase the friction and make the petri dish rack more stable.

[0039] To prevent the long rod 4 from swaying left and right, a second sliding groove 11 is provided on both sides of the U-shaped frame 2. The second sliding groove 11 is slidably connected to the long rod 4, and the long rod 4 slides up and down in the second sliding groove 11. A limit piece 13 is provided on the long rod 4 to prevent the long rod 4 from swaying left and right.

[0040] To facilitate the removal of the petri dish, a lever 12 is fixedly connected to the front of the long rod 4.

[0041] To ensure greater stability of the petri dish rack, a second anti-slip pad 16 is provided at the bottom of the base 1.

[0042] Specifically, in use, this anti-tipping culture dish rack for cell culture involves placing the culture dish to be placed in the corresponding slot of the rack. The second anti-slip pad 16 at the bottom of the base 1 increases friction, and the support frame 14 also provides support for the rack. The first anti-slip pad 15 at the bottom of the support frame 14 also increases friction, making the rack more stable. When the culture dish needs to be removed, the lever 12 is lifted upwards, causing the long rod 4 to move upwards. The long rod 4 then slides upwards within the second groove 11. The limiting piece 13 prevents the long rod 4 from wobbling left and right, and the long rod 4 drives the abutment 18. Moving upwards, the support column 18 pushes the tray 9, and the slider 8 on the side wall of the tray 9 slides upwards along the first groove 7. The tray 9 pushes the placement tray 10, which pushes the culture dish upwards to a certain height, pushing the culture dish out of the through groove 3, making it easier to pick up the culture dish. After removing the culture dish, releasing the lever 12 will cause the spring 6 to rebound. The anti-tipping culture dish rack for cell culture of this application is very stable and will not tip over and spill the culture dish. It is also equipped with a groove corresponding to the culture dish. Placing the culture dish in the groove will have a limiting effect. In addition, it is convenient to remove the culture dish from the culture dish rack.

[0043] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0044] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
