Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell culture technology, and in particular to an easy-to-operate and adjustable cell culture device. Background Technology

[0002] Cell culture is a technique that simulates the in vivo environment in vitro, allowing cells to grow, multiply, and maintain their structure and function under suitable conditions. By providing sterile, appropriate temperature, pH, and nutrient conditions, cell culture mimics the in vivo growth environment, enabling cells to survive and proliferate outside the body. This technology not only provides an important tool for theoretical research in life sciences but also shows broad application prospects in medicine, pharmacy, and other fields.

[0003] In the existing technology, cells are cultured using incubators. Different cell culture processes include static culture and mobile culture. However, the incubators generally used for cell culture are static and cannot culture cells that need to be mobile. Therefore, an easy-to-operate and controllable cell culture device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an easy-to-operate and adjustable cell culture device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: It includes an incubator and a door hinged to the front of the incubator. A placement rack is installed inside the incubator, and a placement plate is provided on the placement rack. A micro motor is installed at the bottom of the placement plate. A connecting column is rotatably connected to the middle of the top of the placement plate. A ball bearing is installed at the top of the connecting column. A connecting cylinder is provided at the top of the ball bearing. A placement tray is installed at the top of the connecting cylinder. First screws are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the placement tray. Support cylinders are threaded to the bottom of both first screws. Insertion holes adapted to the support cylinders are symmetrically provided on the placement plate.

[0006] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the power output end of the micro motor is connected to the bottom of the connecting column, the connecting cylinder is rotatably disposed on the outside of the ball, and a fixing plate is installed on the connecting column near the bottom.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a second screw is installed on one side of the top of the fixed plate, and a connecting cylinder is threaded onto the second screw. Strip rods are symmetrically installed on the placement plate, and strip grooves adapted to the strip rods are symmetrically arranged on the placement frame.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a temperature control touch screen is installed on the front of the incubator near the top, and multiple fixing plates are installed in a circular array on the top of the placement tray, with a connecting rod slidably connected to each fixing plate.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, an arc-shaped clamp is installed at one end of each connecting rod, a baffle is installed at the other end of each connecting rod, and a spring is sleeved on each connecting rod. The baffle is in contact with one side of the fixing plate.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, one end of each spring abuts against the other side of the fixing plate, and the other end of each spring abuts against the outer side of the arc-shaped clamping plate. A humidifying plate is installed at the top of the inside of the incubator.

[0011] This invention provides an easy-to-operate and adjustable cell culture device, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] This design presents an easy-to-operate and adjustable cell culture device. It comprises a connecting column, ball bearings, a connecting cylinder, first and second screws, a support cylinder, and a connecting tube. Rotating the connecting cylinder causes it to extend and move outside the second screw, abutting against the bottom of the placement dish and compressing it. The connecting cylinder rotates outside the ball bearings, tilting the placement dish. A micro-motor, when energized, drives the connecting column to rotate, causing the placement dish to rotate as well. This allows for uniform shaking of the culture dishes held on the placement dish. This design enables the shaking of cells requiring movement during culture, preventing cell sedimentation and aggregation. For cells requiring static culture, a support cylinder is placed on the placement dish and inserted into a hole on the placement plate to maintain stability and allow the cell culture dishes to remain stationary. The structure is simple and easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution for an easy-to-operate and adjustable cell culture device, including an incubator 1 and a door 2 hinged to the front of the incubator 1. A temperature control touch screen 3 is installed near the top of the front of the incubator 1. A humidification tray is installed at the top inside the incubator 1. A placement rack 4 is installed inside the incubator 1. A placement plate 5 is provided on the placement rack 4. Strip rods 6 are symmetrically installed on the placement plate 5. Strip grooves that are adapted to the strip rods 6 are symmetrically provided on the placement rack 4. A micro motor 7 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 5. (The micro motor 7 is a commercially available model and is connected to the temperature control touch screen 3. The above structural connection relationship and operating principle are all mature existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.)

[0020] A connecting post 8 is rotatably connected to the top center of the placement plate 5. A ball bearing 15 is installed at the top of the connecting post 8. A connecting cylinder 16 is installed at the top of the ball bearing 15. A placement plate 9 is installed at the top of the connecting cylinder 16. First screws 10 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the placement plate 9. Support cylinders 11 are threaded to the bottom of both first screws 10. Insertion holes that match the support cylinders 11 are symmetrically arranged on the placement plate 5. The power output end of the micro motor 7 is connected to the bottom of the connecting post 8. The connecting cylinder 16 is rotatably positioned outside the ball bearing 15. A fixing plate 12 is installed on the connecting post 8 near the bottom. A second screw 13 is installed on one side of the top of the fixing plate 12. A connecting sleeve 14 is threaded onto the screw 13. When the connecting sleeve 14 is rotated, it extends and moves along the second screw 13. The top of the connecting sleeve 14 abuts against the bottom of the placement dish 9, squeezing the placement dish 9. The connecting sleeve 16 rotates outside the ball bearing 15, causing the placement dish 9 to tilt. The drive motor 7 drives the connecting column 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the placement dish 9 to rotate. The placement dish 9 tilts and rotates, shaking the culture dish it holds, so that the cells cultured inside continue to move. When the cells need to be cultured statically, the micro motor 7 is not turned on. Instead, the support sleeve 11 is rotated and inserted into the insertion hole on the placement plate 5 to support the placement dish 9 and keep it in a balanced static state.

[0021] Multiple fixing plates 17 are installed in a circular array at the top of the placement tray 9. Each fixing plate 17 has a connecting rod 18 that is slidably connected to it. One end of each connecting rod 18 is equipped with an arc-shaped clamp 20, and the other end of each connecting rod 18 is equipped with a baffle 19. The baffle 19 limits the connecting rod 18 to prevent it from separating from the fixing plate 17. Each connecting rod 18 is fitted with a spring 21. The baffle 19 is in contact with one side of the fixing plate 17, one end of each spring 21 is in contact with the other side of the fixing plate 17, and the other end of each spring 21 is in contact with the outer side of the arc-shaped clamp 20. When the culture dish is placed between the arc-shaped clamps 20, the arc-shaped clamps 20 are squeezed, the connecting rod 18 moves on the fixing plate 17, and the arc-shaped clamps 20 squeeze the springs 21. Through the elasticity of the springs 21, the arc-shaped clamps 20 clamp the culture dish on the placement tray 9.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A single-layer or multi-layer cell culture dish is placed between the arc-shaped clamps 20. The arc-shaped clamps 20 are compressed, causing the connecting rod 18 to move on the fixing plate 17. The arc-shaped clamps 20 compress the spring 21, and the spring force of the spring 21 clamps the culture dish onto the placement tray 9. If cell culture needs to be moved, the support cylinder 11 is rotated to separate the support cylinder 11 from the insertion hole on the placement plate 5 (e.g., ...). Figure 3As shown), rotating the connecting cylinder 14 causes it to extend and move along the second screw 13. The top of the connecting cylinder 14 abuts against the bottom of the placement dish 9, squeezing the placement dish 9. The connecting cylinder 16 rotates outside the ball bearing 15, causing the placement dish 9 to tilt. The drive motor 7 drives the connecting column 8 to rotate, simultaneously driving the placement dish 9 to rotate. The tilting and rotating of the placement dish shakes the culture dish it holds, causing the cells cultured inside to move continuously. When the cells need to be cultured statically (e.g., ...), Figure 2 (As shown), without turning on the micro motor 7, rotate the support cylinder 11. Insert the support cylinder 11 into the insertion hole on the placement plate 5 to support the placement plate 9 and keep it in a balanced and static position.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
