Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the current use of ultra-low temperature refrigerators in biological laboratories, there are the following problems: First, there are many samples in the refrigerator, and the placement is not neat and uniform, and the position of the samples may be moved when other experimenters place them, resulting in inconsistency when taking samples. Convenience; the second is that the ultra-low temperature refrigerator needs to consume more power to maintain the temperature when the door is opened. If the refrigerator door is opened for a long time when taking it out, it will cause huge power loss; Fourth, the management efficiency of traditional refrigerators for long-term samples is low. While wasting storage space, the use of long-term samples will also increase the risk of experimental failure (for example: suppose a bottle of culture medium has a shelf life of one year. There's a bottle of medium that's been around for seven years
However, this patent cannot store information, and does not have the function of issuing instructions for the refrigerator to automatically manage storage and search for samples. The products in the refrigerator must be arranged in a specific order before they can be taken out in the required order, which is not conducive to the management and retrieval of laboratory samples. efficiency improvement

Embodiment 1

[0036] when taking samples. Using an ordinary refrigerator, the experimenter needs to open the refrigerator door, and it takes about a minute to find and take the sample. The power of the ultra-low temperature refrigerator is about 3000W when it is working, and the power is about zero when it is in standby. Suppose the refrigerator is switched on and off 20 times a day. During these 20 minutes, the outside world is connected to the interior of the refrigerator. The refrigerator needs to work continuously to maintain a constant temperature, and consumes 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity. And when using the intelligent refrigerator for preserving high-efficiency strains of the present invention, since the refrigerator door is not largely opened, the temperature in the refrigerator is almost constant. In these 20 minutes, the refrigerator is in a standby state and consumes almost no power (the central control system in the refrigerator consumes far It is less than the power consum...

Embodiment 2

[0038] Suppose there is a bottle of yeast with number 002 that needs to be stored. Such as Figure 4 As shown in the process shown, the experimenter first presses the button at the entrance, and the slide rail and roller control system in the central control system receives an instruction to transport an empty small square to the entrance through the guide rail roller. The small door at the entrance opens, and the small square pops up. The experimenter puts in the vial of yeast and pushes the small square into the freezer. The small door at the entrance closes automatically. The touch-type handwriting input area at the upper left corner of the refrigerator door is activated, and the experimenter enters information (either in the handwriting input area or on a connected computer) (yeast; serial number 002; 1.5ml centrifuge tube; one bottle; Configured on July 26, 2019; Yeast is a single-celled fungus, not a unit of phylogenetic evolution. A tiny single-celled microorganism i...

Embodiment 3

[0040] When the vial of yeast numbered 002 is taken out, the sample data in the small box in the database will be transferred to the column of taken out. When the experimenter saves the bottle of yeast again, he inputs the information "Number 002 Yeast" in the touch-type handwriting input area (or in the external computer), and the information input and output and feedback system matches the corresponding item in the column that has been taken out. It pops up in the area, you can click this option to add directly, and you can add other information, such as "the first sample was taken on July 27".

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent refrigerator for efficient strain preservation, and relates to the technical field of refrigeration. The intelligent refrigerator comprises a small-format storage structure and a central control system. The intelligent refrigerator can automatically search a position of a required sample and send out the same by only inputting information, a tester is free from troubles of recording the position and finding the number, and the condition that the sample is moved by a person and hard to find is prevented. The tester does not need to directly stretch into the refrigerator by a handle, the electric energy loss is reduced, and a risk of occurrence of freezing injury event in a biology laboratory is reduced. The intelligent refrigerator automatically manages samples in the refrigerator according to sample shelf life data input by the tester, if the sample is over shelf life due to overlong placement time, the intelligent refrigerator can send information to a computer or a mobile phone through the Internet of things technology to remind the tester, and experimental failure caused by problems in sample time management is avoided. The intelligent refrigerator is of great benefit for the efficiency improvement of the biological laboratory.
