Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell culture technology, specifically a cell culture device with a protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] Cell culture refers to a method of simulating the in vivo environment to enable cells to survive, grow, reproduce, and maintain their main structures and functions. Cell culture is also called cell cloning technology, and the formal term in biology is cell culture technique. Whether for bioengineering as a whole or for biological cloning technology, cell culture is an indispensable process; cell culture itself is the large-scale cloning of cells.

[0003] According to announcement number CN214244463U, a cell culture device with a protective structure includes a placement platform. At least two support columns are fixedly connected in a ring at equal intervals on the top of the placement platform. Protective rotating plates are connected to the side ends of the support columns via rotating rods. Telescopic rods, distributed downwards, are rotatably connected to the side ends of the support columns via rotating shafts. The ends of the telescopic rods are rotatably connected to the protective rotating plates via rotating shafts. A buffer spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rods. Protective rubber is fixedly connected to the tops of the multiple protective rotating plates. In this invention, firstly, a rotating buffer-type anti-collision structure is adopted to ensure multi-directional protection of the cell culture vessels. Secondly, by pulling the lifting column upwards, the protective rotating plates are rotated via a pull rope. When the telescopic rods tilt upwards, the buffer springs support the protective rotating plates, thus facilitating the handling of the cell culture vessels.

[0004] The device described above provides multi-directional protection for cell culture vessels by incorporating a rotating buffer anti-collision structure, which is practical. However, according to the instruction manual and accompanying drawings, the placement slot inside the placement platform does not have a structure for positioning the cell vessels. When subjected to a collision, the cell vessels inside the placement slot may shake, causing them to shift or tilt, which affects their use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that while the aforementioned device provides multi-directional protection for cell culture vessels through a rotating buffer anti-collision structure, which is practical, the placement slot inside the placement platform lacks a structure for positioning the cell vessels. Consequently, the cell vessels inside the placement slot may shake and tilt upon impact, affecting usability. Therefore, this invention provides a cell culture device with a protective structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cell culture device with a protective structure, comprising a base, a protective component at the top of the base, a placement platform fixedly installed at the top of the base and inside the protective component, placement grooves uniformly arranged around the top of the placement platform, a rotating disk rotatably connected inside the placement grooves, an arc-shaped groove uniformly arranged around the top of the rotating disk, and a limiting rod uniformly arranged at the top of the rotating disk for limiting the cell culture vessel, a connecting shaft at the bottom of the limiting rod, the connecting shaft being adapted to the arc-shaped groove, a connecting gear rotatably connected inside the placement platform, a rotating gear rotatably connected inside the placement platform, the rotating gear meshing with the connecting gear, a rotating shaft fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating disk, the rotating shaft passing through the placement groove and fixedly installed with the rotating gear, a rotating motor fixedly installed at the top of the base, and a drive gear fixedly installed at the output shaft of the rotating motor, the drive gear meshing with the connecting gear.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: the bottom end of the limiting rod is provided with a threaded groove, and the top end of the connecting shaft is fixedly installed with a threaded rod, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the threaded groove.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a fixed sleeve is fixedly installed inside the placement groove, and the fixed sleeve is located directly below the rotating disk. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve, and a guide slider is fixedly installed through the arc-shaped groove of the connecting shaft.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a guide slide rod is fixedly installed at one end of the fixed sleeve, and the guide slide rod is evenly and fixedly installed around the fixed sleeve, and the guide slide rod is slidably connected to the guide slider.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the protective component includes a protective rotating plate evenly arranged around the top of the base and a support column evenly arranged around and fixedly installed on the top of the placement platform. The protective rotating plate and the support column are rotatably connected by a rotating rod, and a buffer spring is rotatably connected to one end of the protective rotating plate and the support column.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, protective rubber is fixedly installed on the top of the multiple sets of protective rotating plates.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this invention, a rotating motor drives a gear transmission to rotate a rotating disk. By utilizing an arc-shaped groove and a guide structure, the movement of the limiting rods is controlled. This allows multiple sets of limiting rods to converge or disperse synchronously towards the center, efficiently adapting to cell containers of different sizes. At the same time, it can automatically limit and clamp the containers during placement, effectively reducing container displacement and tilting when impacted, and enhancing the stability of glass containers stored in the placement groove.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a cell culture device with a protective structure includes a base 1, a protective component 3 at the top of the base 1, a placement platform 2 fixedly installed at the top of the base 1 and inside the protective component 3, a placement groove 4 evenly arranged around the top of the placement platform 2, a rotating disk 5 rotatably connected inside the placement groove 4, an arc-shaped groove 6 evenly arranged around the top of the rotating disk 5, and a limiting rod 8 evenly arranged at the top of the rotating disk 5 to limit the cell culture vessel, a connecting shaft 7 at the bottom of the limiting rod 8, and the connecting shaft 7 being adapted to the arc-shaped groove 6, a connecting gear 12 rotatably connected inside the placement platform 2, a rotating gear 11 rotatably connected inside the placement platform 2, and the rotating gear 11 meshing with the connecting gear 12, a rotating shaft 18 fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating disk 5, and the rotating shaft 18 passing through the placement groove 4 and fixedly installed with the rotating gear 11, a rotating motor 14 fixedly installed at the top of the base 1, and a drive gear 13 fixedly installed on the output shaft at the top of the rotating motor 14, the drive gear 13 meshing with the connecting gear 12.

[0023] The above scheme is adopted: the interior of the placement groove 4 facilitates the positioning and fixing of cylindrical cell vessels, and one end of the limiting rod 8 is provided with a sponge pad. The rotating motor 14 is a DC motor, which is existing technology and is not described in detail in this application. It can drive the rotating gear 11 to rotate forward and backward. The arc-shaped groove 6 is centrally symmetrically opened at the top of the rotating disk 5, and the limiting rod 8 can move synchronously. The connecting gear 12 is located in the middle of multiple sets of rotating gears 11, and can drive multiple sets of gripping disks 5 inside the placement groove 4 to rotate together.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The bottom end of the limiting rod 8 is provided with a threaded slot 9, and the top end of the connecting shaft 7 is fixedly installed with a threaded rod 10, and the threaded rod 10 is threadedly connected to the threaded slot 9.

[0025] Using the above solution: the limiting rod 8 can be installed and replaced through the threaded slot 9 and the threaded rod 10, and different limiting rods 8 can be replaced according to the height of the cell container.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A fixed sleeve 15 is fixedly installed inside the placement groove 4, and the fixed sleeve 15 is located directly below the rotating disk 5. The rotating shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve 15. The connecting shaft 7 passes through the arc-shaped groove 6 and a guide slider 16 is fixedly installed. A guide slide rod 17 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixed sleeve 15, and the guide slide rod 17 is evenly and fixedly installed around the fixed sleeve 15. The guide slide rod 17 is slidably connected to the guide slider 16.

[0027] The above scheme is adopted: a fixed sleeve 15 is fixed inside the placement groove 4, which is located directly below the rotating disk 5. The rotating shaft 18 at the bottom of the rotating disk 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve 15. After the connecting shaft 7 passes through the arc groove 6, a guide slider 16 is installed. One end of the fixed sleeve 15 is evenly surrounded and fixed with a guide slide rod 17. During operation, the guide slider 16 slides smoothly on the guide slide rod 17. The advantage is that the fixed sleeve 15 stably supports the rotating shaft 18, and the guide slide rod 17 and the guide slider 16 cooperate to accurately guide the movement of the connecting shaft 7, ensuring the stability of the rotation of the rotating disk 5 and the movement of the limiting rod, and improving the reliability of the limiting clamping of the cell vessel.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The protective component 3 includes a protective rotating plate 31 uniformly arranged around the top of the base 1 and a support column 33 uniformly arranged around and fixedly installed on the top of the placement platform 2. The protective rotating plate 31 and the support column 33 are rotatably connected by a rotating rod 34. One end of the protective rotating plate 31 and the support column 33 is rotatably connected by a buffer spring 35. The top of multiple sets of protective rotating plates 31 are fixedly installed with protective rubber 32.

[0029] The above solution is adopted: the protective component 3 is the prior art mentioned in the reference document and is not described in detail in this application. The protective component 3 can protect the cell vessels inside the placement tank 4 from multiple directions, thereby increasing the safety of use.

[0030] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When placing the cell culture vessel, starting the rotating motor 14 will drive the drive gear 13 to rotate. The connecting gear 12 inside the placement stage 2 meshes with the drive gear 13. The rotation of the drive gear 13 will drive the connecting gear 12 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating gear 11 inside the placement stage 2 meshes with the connecting gear 12. The rotation of the connecting gear 12 will then drive the rotating gear 11 to rotate. The rotating disk 5 is located inside the placement groove 4 and can rotate. The rotating shaft 18 fixed at its bottom end passes through the placement groove 4 and is fixedly installed with the rotating gear 11. Therefore, the rotation of the rotating gear 11 will drive the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating disk 5 to rotate within the placement groove 4. When the rotating disk 5 rotates, the arc-shaped groove 6 will engage with the connecting shaft. 7 generates a guiding effect, causing the connecting shaft 7 to move along the arc-shaped groove 6. After the connecting shaft 7 passes through the arc-shaped groove 6, a guide slider 16 is fixedly installed. A guide slide rod 17 is evenly and fixedly installed around one end of the fixed sleeve 15. The guide slider 16 and the guide slide rod 17 are slidably connected. As the rotating disk 5 rotates, multiple sets of limiting rods 8 will simultaneously converge towards the center or disperse outward. When it is necessary to limit and clamp the cell vessel, the rotation of the rotating motor 14 drives multiple sets of limiting rods 8 to converge towards the center until they contact the cell vessel and apply a certain pressure, thereby achieving the limit and clamping of the cell vessel. This reduces the possibility of the glass vessel inside the placement tank 4 shifting or tilting when impacted, and increases the stability of the glass vessel stored inside the placement tank 4.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
