Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell culture technology, and in particular to a cell co-culture device with independent partitions. Background Technology
[0002] Cell culture refers to the technique of simulating the physiological environment in vivo in vitro, allowing cells to survive, grow, proliferate, and maintain their biological characteristics under artificially controlled conditions after being separated from the body. Cell co-culture devices are equipment used to simulate the in vivo environment in vitro, enabling two or more types of cells to grow and interact together in the same environment.
[0003] Existing cell co-culture devices typically have fixed-size internal zones, which means that when different sized culture dishes are placed together, the size of each zone cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, thus limiting the applicability and flexibility of the cell co-culture device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the size of the internal division area of the device cannot be adjusted, which results in poor flexibility of use. To address this, we propose a cell co-culture device with independent division areas.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a cell co-culture device with independent partitions, comprising a culture device body: a sealing cover is installed at the top of the culture device body, guide rails are installed at both the front and rear ends inside the culture device body, a fixing rod is fixedly connected inside the guide rail, two adjusting blocks are slidably connected inside the guide rail and on the surface of the fixing rod, a partition is fixedly connected between the opposite surfaces of the adjusting blocks, two connecting plates are fixedly connected at both the front and rear ends inside the culture device body, a limit pin is slidably connected inside the connecting plate, a push-pull plate is fixedly connected to the top of the limit pin, and two limiting grooves that are inserted into the push-pull plate are opened at the top of the partition.
[0006] Preferably, the limiting groove has sliding grooves on both sides, and the limiting groove has an extension groove at the bottom. The bottom of the limiting pin is fixedly connected to two snap-fit blocks that are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.
[0007] Preferably, an energy storage spring is sleeved on the surface of the limiting pin, and the top and bottom ends of the energy storage spring are fixedly connected to the push-pull plate and the connecting plate, respectively.
[0008] Preferably, a return spring is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod, and the two sides of the return spring are respectively fixedly connected to two adjusting blocks.
[0009] Preferably, the inner diameter of the limiting groove is designed to match the size of the limiting pin.
[0010] Preferably, the guide rail has an arc-shaped groove inside, and one end of the adjusting block is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped block, with the inside of the arc-shaped groove slidably connected to the arc-shaped block.
[0011] Preferably, both sides of the partition are coated with a silver ion coating.
[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this invention, when the operator needs to adjust the position of the partition inside the main body of the culture device, the push-pull plate is pulled upward to pull the limiting pin out of the limiting groove, thus releasing the partition from its fixed position. The partition is then moved to a suitable location for the cell culture dish, and the limiting pin is aligned with the limiting groove and the push-pull plate is pushed to insert it, achieving the fixed position after the partition adjustment. This design allows for convenient adjustment and fixing of the partition inside the main body of the culture device. When the user needs to place culture dishes of different sizes, the position of the partition can be quickly adjusted according to the size of the culture dish, effectively improving the flexibility and convenience of the device during the storage of culture dishes.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementation methods without changing the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of this utility model or as a limitation or restriction on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cell co-culture device with independent partitions, including a culture device body 1; a sealing cover 2 is installed at the top of the culture device body 1; guide rails 3 are installed at both the front and rear ends inside the culture device body 1; a fixing rod 4 is fixedly connected inside the guide rail 3; two adjusting blocks 5 are slidably connected inside the guide rail 3 and on the surface of the fixing rod 4; partitions 6 are fixedly connected between the opposite surfaces of the adjusting blocks 5; two connecting plates 7 are fixedly connected at both the front and rear ends inside the culture device body 1; limit pins 8 are slidably connected inside the connecting plates 7; a push-pull plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the limit pin 8; and two limiting grooves 10 are formed at the top of the partitions 6, which are inserted into the push-pull plates 9. When staff need to adjust the position of the partition 6 inside the main body 1 of the culture device, they pull the push-pull plate 9 upward to pull the limiting pin 8 out of the limiting groove 10, thus releasing the partition 6 from its fixed position. Then, the partition 6 is moved to a suitable position for placing the cell culture dish. The limiting pin 8 is then aligned with the limiting groove 10, and the push-pull plate 9 is pushed to insert it, achieving the fixed position of the partition 6 after adjustment. This feature allows for convenient adjustment and fixing of the partition 6 inside the main body 1 of the culture device. When users need to place culture dishes of different sizes, the position of the partition 6 can be quickly adjusted according to the size of the culture dish, effectively improving the flexibility and convenience of the device during the storage of culture dishes.
[0024] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in this embodiment: both sides of the limiting groove 10 are provided with sliding grooves 11, and the bottom of the limiting groove 10 is provided with an extension groove 12. The bottom of the limiting pin 8 is fixedly connected with two locking blocks 13 that are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 11. With the setting of the sliding grooves 11, extension grooves 12 and locking blocks 13, when the limiting pin 8 is fully inserted into the limiting groove 10, the limiting pin 8 is rotated to release the locking blocks 13 from the sliding grooves 11, thereby achieving auxiliary limiting after the limiting pin 8 is inserted, effectively improving the stability of the partition 6.
[0025] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: an energy storage spring 14 is sleeved on the surface of the limiting pin 8. The top and bottom ends of the energy storage spring 14 are fixedly connected to the push-pull plate 9 and the connecting plate 7, respectively. With the setting of the energy storage spring 14, when the operator needs to fix the position of the partition 6, the limiting pin 8 is aligned with the limiting groove 10. At this time, the push-pull plate 9 is released, and the elastic force of the energy storage spring 14 will drive the limiting pin 8 to quickly insert into the limiting groove 10, thereby achieving rapid fixing of the partition 6 after adjustment, effectively improving the adjustment efficiency.
[0026] Reference Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: a reset spring 15 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 4. The two sides of the reset spring 15 are fixedly connected to two adjusting blocks 5 respectively. With the setting of the reset spring 15, when the cell culture is completed, the partition 6 is released from the fixation. At this time, the elastic force of the reset spring 15 will drive the partition 6 to move to both sides, thereby achieving convenient reset of the partition 6 after use, which is convenient for the next adjustment and use.
[0027] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the limiting groove 10 is designed to match the size of the limiting pin 8. By matching the size of the limiting groove 10 and the limiting pin 8, the partition 6 will not loosen or shift due to the movement or collision of the main body of the device during the fixing process, thus effectively ensuring the stability of the partition 6 and the safety of the cell culture process.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: the guide rail 3 has an arc-shaped groove 16 inside, and one end of the adjusting block 5 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped block 17. The inside of the arc-shaped groove 16 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped block 17. Through the setting of the arc-shaped groove 16 and the arc-shaped block 17, the partition 6 can form a stable guiding effect when its position is adjusted inside the main body 1 of the culture device, so that the movement trajectory of the partition 6 will not deviate, effectively ensuring the accuracy and stability of the adjustment process.
[0029] Reference Figure 4As shown in this embodiment, both sides of the partition 6 are coated with silver ion coating. By coating the surface of the partition 6 with silver ion coating, the bacteria growing on the surface of the partition 6 can be significantly reduced during long-term cell culture, thereby making the cell culture environment cleaner and conducive to the healthy growth and reproduction of cells.
[0030] Working principle: When the operator needs to adjust the position of the partition 6 inside the main body 1 of the culture device, the push-pull plate 9 is pulled upwards to pull the limiting pin 8 out of the limiting groove 10, thus releasing the partition 6 from its fixed position. The partition 6 is then moved to a suitable location for the cell culture dish. The limiting pin 8 is then aligned with the limiting groove 10, and the push-pull plate 9 is pushed to insert it, thus fixing the partition 6 after adjustment. This design allows for convenient adjustment and fixing of the partition 6 inside the main body 1 of the culture device. When the user needs to place culture dishes of different sizes, the position of the partition 6 can be quickly adjusted according to the size of the culture dish. The device is designed to fit the size of the culture dish, thus improving its flexibility and convenience during culture dish storage. Through the sliding groove 11, extension groove 12, and locking block 13, after the limiting pin 8 is fully inserted into the limiting groove 10, rotating the limiting pin 8 releases the locking block 13 from the sliding groove 11, achieving auxiliary limiting after the limiting pin 8 is inserted. This effectively improves the stability of the partition 6. With the energy storage spring 14, when the operator needs to fix the position of the partition 6, aligning the limiting pin 8 with the limiting groove 10 and then releasing the push-pull plate 9... When the energy storage spring 14 is activated, its elastic force will cause the limiting pin 8 to quickly insert into the limiting groove 10, thereby achieving rapid fixation of the partition 6 after adjustment, effectively improving adjustment efficiency. Through the setting of the return spring 15, when cell culture is completed, the partition 6 is released from fixation. At this time, the elastic force of the return spring 15 will cause the partition 6 to move to both sides, thereby achieving convenient reset of the partition 6 after use, facilitating future adjustment. The matching size of the limiting groove 10 and the limiting pin 8 ensures that the partition 6 will not loosen or shift due to movement or collision of the main body of the device during the fixing process. This design effectively ensures the stability of the partition 6 and the safety of the cell culture process. The arc groove 16 and arc block 17 provide a stable guiding effect when the partition 6 is adjusted inside the main body 1 of the culture device, preventing the movement trajectory of the partition 6 from deviating and effectively ensuring the accuracy and stability of the adjustment process. By coating the surface of the partition 6 with a silver ion coating, the bacteria growing on the surface of the partition 6 can be significantly reduced during long-term cell culture, resulting in a cleaner cell culture environment that is conducive to the healthy growth and reproduction of cells.
