[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A liquid nitrogen injection assembly includes a storage tank 1 for storing liquid nitrogen. The bottom diameter of the storage tank 1 is 8-15cm and its height is 20-40cm. It can be set to multiple sizes to facilitate replacement as needed.

[0026] The storage tank 1 is fixedly connected to the inlet 2, which is connected to the sealing cap 3. An injection tube 4 is inserted inside the sealing cap 3. One end of the injection tube 4 is fixedly connected to the positioning cylinder 5, and a rubber tube 6 is sleeved on the other end of the injection tube 4. Multiple clamping components 7 for positioning the rubber tube 6 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the positioning cylinder 5. Multiple air inlet pipes 8 are inserted into the sealing cap 3. The sealing cap 3 is fixedly connected to the multiple air inlet pipes 8 by a C-shaped frame 9. Multiple sealing components 10 for sealing the multiple air inlet pipes 8 are arranged on the top of the C-shaped frame 9. The multiple sealing components 10 are located above the multiple air inlet pipes 8. By setting the sealing components 10, the liquid nitrogen injection level can be adjusted. In practical applications, for young children, the mist volume requirement is not large, and the injection spray volume can be reduced by adjusting the level. For adult patients, the injection spray volume can be increased according to the actual needs, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of the device.

[0027] By using the storage tank 1, inlet 2, sealing cap 3, injection tube 4, air inlet pipe 8, C-shaped frame 9, and sealing assembly 10 in conjunction, the tight fit between the sealing cap 3 and the inlet 2, as well as the sealing assembly 10, effectively prevents leakage of liquid nitrogen during storage and injection, reducing safety risks caused by liquid nitrogen leakage, such as frostbite to personnel, equipment damage from freezing, and environmental pollution. The sealing assembly 10 and sealing cap 3 are easy to disassemble and install, facilitating regular inspection and maintenance of the liquid nitrogen injection assembly, extending the service life of the equipment, and simplifying operation, reducing the difficulty and complexity of operation. Workers can easily complete operations such as liquid nitrogen storage, injection, and sealing.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the sealing assembly 10 includes a slide rod 1001, which is slidably inserted into the top of the U-shaped frame 9. The bottom end of the slide rod 1001 passes through the U-shaped frame 9 and is fixedly connected to a sealing block 1002. The top end of the slide rod 1001 is fixedly connected to a pressing plate 1003. When the operator presses the pressing plate 1003 downward, the slide rod 1001 can be moved downward, thereby moving the sealing block 1002 downward.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the blocking block 1002 is located directly above the air inlet pipe 8, and the bottom of the blocking block 1002 is inserted into the inside of the air inlet pipe 8. When the slide rod 1001 moves downward, the blocking block 1002 can be inserted into the air inlet pipe 8 at the corresponding position, thereby controlling the air intake and thus controlling the injection spray volume of liquid nitrogen. At this time, the position of the blocking block 1002 relative to the air inlet pipe 8 is achieved by moving the slide rod 1001. The blocking block 1002 matches the corresponding gear at different positions, so that the injection spray volume can be adjusted based on different gears. In practical applications, for young children, the spray volume requirement is not large, and the injection spray volume can be reduced by adjusting the gear. For adult patients, the injection spray volume can be increased according to actual needs, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of the device.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a return spring 1004. The top end of the return spring 1004 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing plate 1003, and the bottom end of the return spring 1004 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 9. The return spring 1004 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod 1001. When the pressing plate 1003 moves downward, the return spring 1004 is in a compressed state. When the operator does not press the pressing plate 1003, the rebound force of the return spring 1004 can drive the slide rod 1001 to move upward, thereby driving the sealing block 1002 to move upward.

[0031] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 4 As shown, the clamping assembly 7 includes a threaded rod 701, which is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning cylinder 5. One end of the threaded rod 701 passes through the positioning cylinder 5 and is rotatably connected to a clamping block 702. The other end of the threaded rod 701 is fixedly connected to an adjustment knob 703. By rotating the adjustment knob 703, the threaded rod 701 can be rotated, which in turn can move the clamping block 702. This allows the tubing 6 to be clamped and positioned by the clamping block 702, preventing the tubing 6 from falling off the outer wall of the injection tube 4 during use. This further improves the stability of the liquid nitrogen injection assembly.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple sets of clamping blocks 702 are all arc-shaped, and the opposite side wall of the multiple sets of clamping blocks 702 abuts against the outer wall of the tubing 6. By setting the clamping blocks 702 to arc shape, they can better fit the outer wall of the injection tube 4, thereby more stably clamping and positioning the tubing 6 sleeved on the outer wall of the injection tube 4.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple sets of guide rods 11 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping block 702, and one end of each set of guide rods 11 passes through the positioning cylinder 5 and is fixedly connected to an anti-detachment part. By setting the guide rods 11, the clamping block 702 is limited, making its movement process more stable. By setting the anti-detachment part, the guide rods 11 are limited, preventing them from falling off during use.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a leak-proof block 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing cover 3. The leak-proof block 12 is inserted into the inside of the feed inlet 2. By setting the leak-proof block 12, the sealing performance of the sealing cover 3 to the feed inlet 2 is increased, preventing liquid nitrogen from leaking during use.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the sealing cap 3 is provided with an internal thread 13, and the outer wall of the feed inlet 2 is provided with an external thread 14 that matches the internal thread 13. The sealing cap 3 is threaded to the top of the feed inlet 2. By providing the internal thread 13 and the external thread 14, the sealing cap 3 can be easily disassembled, and the injection tube 4, clamping assembly 7 and sealing assembly 10 on the top of the sealing cap 3 can be easily disassembled and assembled.

[0036] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a handle 15, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tank 1. By setting the handle 15, it is easy for staff to hold the liquid nitrogen injection assembly, which helps to further increase the convenience of the liquid nitrogen injection assembly.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
