Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell culture technology, and in particular to a cell culture device that is easy to observe. Background Technology

[0002] In cell biology research and biopharmaceutical fields, cell culture devices are key equipment for the in vitro culture of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. They provide suitable conditions for microbial growth by simulating the internal environment of organisms. Most existing cell culture devices consist of an incubator body, culture dishes, and a temperature control system. The culture dishes, as the carriers for cell growth, are usually placed on fixed trays inside the incubator. Researchers need to open the incubator door periodically, take out the culture dishes, and observe the cell growth status under a microscope. Some devices have observation windows at the door to reduce the number of times the incubator needs to be opened.

[0003] The fixed placement of culture dishes in existing cell culture devices limits the observation angle and makes it difficult to observe cells from multiple angles. Adjusting the observation position requires frequently pulling out the tray or taking out the culture dish, which can easily disrupt the stable environment inside the incubator and affect the uniformity of cell growth. In addition, the traditional device has poor sealing between the cover and the culture dish, and the height adjustment is inconvenient, which further reduces the observation efficiency and culture effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a cell culture device that facilitates observation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A cell culture device for easy observation includes an incubator for providing a controllable artificial growth environment for microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. A base plate slides into the bottom of the incubator, a connecting column is mounted on the top surface of the base plate, and a support plate is mounted on the top of the connecting column. A culture dish is mounted on the support plate. An installation cavity is formed inside the connecting column, and a motor is installed inside the installation cavity. Bolts are mounted on the motor's rotating shaft and are installed on the support plate. A cover plate is used to seal the culture dish, and a sealing cap is mounted on the bottom surface of the cover plate, which mates with the culture dish. A movable component is used to adjust the installation height of the cover plate.

[0006] Preferably, the incubator includes a door panel with an observation window and an opening, the observation window being embedded in the opening of the door panel.

[0007] Preferably, a threaded ring is provided on the top surface of the support plate, the petri dish is threaded inside the threaded ring, and the threaded ring and the sealing cap are correspondingly provided.

[0008] Preferably, a slider is mounted on the side wall of the base plate by screws, and a slide rail is slidably fitted on the slider. The slide rail is mounted inside the incubator by screws.

[0009] Preferably, the moving component includes a first lead screw and a second lead screw, both ends of which are equipped with bearings. Bearing seats are provided on the outer rings of the bearings, and the bearing seats are installed inside the incubator by screws. A driven bevel gear is installed on the first lead screw, and one side of the driven bevel gear meshes with a driving bevel gear. A throttle is provided inside the driving bevel gear, and one end of the throttle is provided through the outer wall of the incubator. A cover plate is movably fitted between the first lead screw and the second lead screw.

[0010] Preferably, perforated plates are provided on both sides of the cover plate, and the perforated plates are threaded onto the first lead screw and the second lead screw.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a motor-driven bolt to rotate the support plate, enabling the culture dish to rotate in different positions. This facilitates observation through the observation window, allowing researchers to directly observe the culture dish without frequently removing it. The embedded design of the observation window ensures a good field of view. Combined with the multi-angle adjustment of the culture dish, it can meet different observation needs, avoid the impact of environmental fluctuations in the incubator on microbial growth, reduce the risk of contamination by other microorganisms, and significantly improve the convenience of observation and the stability of the culture environment. The sliding cooperation between the base plate and the slide rail facilitates the overall movement of the culture dish by researchers.

[0012] 2. The threaded ring on the support plate of this utility model is threaded with the petri dish, and together with the sealing cap on the bottom of the cover plate, a double sealing structure is formed, which effectively prevents the evaporation of water in the culture medium inside the petri dish and the intrusion of external pollutants. At the same time, the moving component drives the bevel gear transmission through the throttle, which drives the lead screw to rotate to achieve precise lifting and lowering of the cover plate, ensuring that the sealing cap fits tightly with the petri dish, ensuring the airtightness of the culture environment, facilitating quick opening and closing operations, and improving the practicality and reliability of the device.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0017] Reference Figure 1-5 A cell culture device for easy observation includes an incubator 1 for providing a controllable artificial growth environment for microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. A base plate 2 slides into the bottom of the incubator 1. A connecting column 3 is mounted on the top surface of the base plate 2, and a support plate 4 is mounted on the top of the connecting column 3. A culture dish 5 is mounted on the support plate 4. An installation cavity 301 is formed inside the connecting column 3, and a motor 302 is installed inside the installation cavity 301. A bolt 303 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor 302 and is installed on the support plate 4. A cover plate 9 is used to seal the culture dish 5, and a sealing cap 901 is provided on the bottom surface of the cover plate 9, which cooperates with the culture dish 5. A movable component 6 is used to adjust the installation height of the cover plate 9.

[0018] In this embodiment, the incubator 1 provides a controllable growth environment for microorganisms. The base plate 2 is slidable for easy position adjustment. The connecting column 3 supports the support plate 4. The motor 302 in the internal mounting cavity 301 drives the support plate 4 to rise and fall through the bolts 303, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the culture dish 5. The support plate 4 is used to place the culture dish 5. The cover plate 9 seals the culture dish 5 through the bottom sealing cap 901 to maintain the internal environment. The moving component 6 adjusts the height of the cover plate 9 so that the sealing cap 901 and the culture dish 5 are precisely matched. The whole system realizes flexible adjustment, stable culture and convenient observation.

[0019] In this invention, the incubator 1 includes a door panel 101, an observation window is provided on the door panel 101, and an opening is formed on the door panel 101. The observation window is embedded in the opening of the door panel 101.

[0020] In this embodiment, the observation window of the door panel 101 is made of borosilicate glass, and is a square sheet with a silicone sealing ring on the edge. It is embedded in the opening mounting groove of the main body of the door panel 101 and fixed with food-grade silicone adhesive.

[0021] In this utility model, a threaded ring 401 is provided on the top surface of the support plate 4, and the culture dish 5 is threadedly fitted inside the threaded ring 401. The threaded ring 401 and the sealing cap 901 are arranged correspondingly to each other.

[0022] In this embodiment, the threaded ring 401 on the top surface of the support plate 4 is threadedly engaged with the culture dish 5, which can securely fix the culture dish 5 and prevent it from shaking or shifting during movement or adjustment. At the same time, the threaded ring 401 corresponds to the sealing cap 901, which can make the sealing cap 901 accurately fasten onto the culture dish 5, enhance the sealing effect, reduce the loss of gas and moisture in the culture environment and the intrusion of external pollutants, and ensure the stability and safety of microbial culture.

[0023] In this invention, a slider 201 is installed on the side wall of the base plate 2 by screws, and a slide rail 202 is slidably fitted on the slider 201. The slide rail 202 is installed inside the incubator 1 by screws.

[0024] In this embodiment, the slider 201 on the side wall of the base plate 2 slides in conjunction with the slide rail 202 inside the incubator 1, and the two are fixed by screws to ensure connection stability and realize the smooth translation of the base plate 2 inside the incubator 1.

[0025] In this utility model, the moving component 6 includes a first lead screw 7 and a second lead screw 8. Both ends of the first lead screw 7 and the second lead screw 8 are equipped with bearings 801. The outer ring of the bearing 801 is provided with a bearing seat 802. The bearing seat 802 is installed inside the incubator 1 by screws. A driven bevel gear 701 is installed on the first lead screw 7. One side of the driven bevel gear 701 meshes with the driving bevel gear 702. A throttle 703 is provided inside the driving bevel gear 702. One end of the throttle 703 is inserted through and installed on the outer wall of the incubator 1. The cover plate 9 is movably fitted between the first lead screw 7 and the second lead screw 8.

[0026] In this embodiment, in the moving component 6, the first lead screw 7 and the second lead screw 8 are installed inside the incubator 1 through the bearing 801 and the bearing seat 802 to ensure stable rotation. When the handle 703 is turned, the active bevel gear 702 drives the driven bevel gear 701 to rotate, so that the first lead screw 7 and the second lead screw 8 rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the height of the cover plate 9. The structure enables the cover plate 9 to be raised and lowered precisely, which facilitates the precise matching of the sealing cover 901 with the culture dish 5. Moreover, the operation is carried out outside the incubator 1, avoiding interference with the internal environment and improving the convenience of use and the stability of cultivation.

[0027] In this utility model, perforated plates 902 are provided on both sides of the cover plate 9, and the perforated plates 902 are threadedly fitted on the first lead screw 7 and the second lead screw 8.

[0028] In this embodiment, the perforated plates 902 on both sides of the cover plate 9 are threadedly engaged with the first lead screw 7 and the second lead screw 8. When the lead screw rotates, the perforated plates 902 can drive the cover plate 9 to rise and fall smoothly along the lead screw axis. The threaded engagement structure can precisely control the lifting height of the cover plate 9, ensuring that the sealing cover 901 is precisely aligned with the culture dish 5, thus improving the sealing effect. At the same time, the synchronous drive on both sides makes the cover plate 9 subjected to balanced force, avoiding tilting and jamming, enhancing the stability and reliability of the adjustment of the moving component 6, and facilitating operation and control.

[0029] The usage and working principle of this cell culture device are as follows: When in use, connect the power supply to the incubator 1, preset the environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity suitable for bacterial growth, slide the bottom plate 2 out of the incubator 1 through the slide rail 202, screw the culture dish 5 containing bacterial culture medium into the threaded ring 401 of the support plate 4, ensure the thread fit is tight, push the bottom plate 2 to make the slider 201 return to the slide rail 202, send the culture dish 5 into the incubator 1, start the motor 302 in the mounting cavity 301 of the connecting column 3, rotate the support plate 4, so that the culture dish 5 is in a position that is easy to observe from multiple angles, rotate the handle 703 on the outside of the incubator 1, the active bevel gear 702 drives the driven bevel gear 701 to rotate, so that the first lead screw 7 and the second lead screw 8 rotate synchronously, the perforated plates 902 on both sides of the cover plate 9 descend along the lead screw until the sealing cover 901 is accurately fastened on the culture dish 5, completing the seal, and monitor the bacterial growth status through the borosilicate glass observation window on the door plate 101.
