Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell inoculation technology, and more specifically, to a cell inoculation mixing device. Background Technology
[0002] In biological experiments, "cell inoculation" typically refers to the process of inoculating cultured cells with a virus, allowing the virus to come into contact with and infect the cells. This is a common experimental procedure in virology research, used to study viral infection mechanisms, replication processes, pathogenicity, and to screen antiviral drugs. In practice, an appropriate amount of viral fluid is added to a culture dish or flask containing cells, and then incubated under suitable conditions to allow the virus to enter the cells and initiate the infection process.
[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN217809496U) that discloses a shaking mixing device for biological cell culture, relating to the field of biological cell technology. The device includes a housing with an inner shell inside. The bottom of the inner shell is connected to a rod via two rings. An annular disk is fixedly connected to the top of the inner shell, and a rotating disk is located in the center of the annular disk. The bottom of the rotating disk is fixedly connected to a rotary motor. A fixing rod is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the grooves in the annular disk. A transmission rod is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod. The other end of the transmission rod is rotatably sleeved on an eccentric block on the outer wall of an eccentric wheel. The shaft of the eccentric wheel is fixedly connected to a shaking motor. By using a rotary motor and a shaking motor in conjunction with the eccentric wheel and transmission rod, the biological cell culture tubes on the rotating disk can oscillate up and down while rotating, accelerating the shaking and mixing speed. The entire device is small in size, convenient for installation and use. Furthermore, the oscillation method using the side vibration of the eccentric wheel avoids gear wear, resulting in a longer service life.
[0004] However, the device is inconvenient to remove after use, mainly due to obvious deficiencies in its structural design. The rotating disk is tightly fixed to the culture tube, and there is a lack of convenient unlocking or loosening mechanisms, which means that it takes a lot of time and effort to remove, and the culture tube may be damaged or the culture medium may be spilled if not handled carefully.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping part includes: a limiting sleeve fixedly installed on the top of the storage base plate, a second spring fixedly installed inside the limiting sleeve, and a clamping plate fixedly installed on one side of the second spring.
[0012] Preferably, the reciprocating rocking assembly includes: a pad fixedly installed on the top of the support platform, a motor fixedly installed on the top of the pad, a cam fixedly installed on the drive end of the motor, a connecting rod movably installed on one side of the cam, and the top end of the connecting rod movably connected to the storage bucket.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention involves placing test tubes into the storage holes of a test tube storage assembly. The clamping plate in the holding part, under the action of spring two, clamps the test tubes securely. Subsequently, the controller activates the heater in the heating assembly, adjusting the temperature inside the insulation container. Simultaneously, the motor starts, and the cam at its drive end rotates, causing the storage container to shake up and down via a connecting rod, thus mixing the cells inside the test tubes. At this time, the lifting limit rod ensures that the shaking of the storage container is stable and does not deviate excessively. After mixing is complete, to remove the test tubes, simply squeeze the storage base plate and the limit plate gently, compressing spring one between them. The clamping plate then releases the test tubes, allowing for easy removal. The operation is simple and efficient, greatly improving the convenience of test tube removal. This design not only ensures uniform mixing but also allows for adjustment of the shaking frequency and temperature via the controller, improving operational flexibility and adaptability.
