[0063] More specifically, the lifting member 70 includes a lifting block 71, a transverse driving member 72 and a longitudinal driving member 73. The longitudinal driving member 73 is disposed on the bottom plate 10. The transverse driving member 72 is slidably connected to the longitudinal driving member 73. The lifting block 71 and the transverse driving member 72 are slidably connected. The transverse driving member 72 and the longitudinal driving member 73 can respectively drive the lifting block 71 to move in the transverse and longitudinal directions. The lifting block 71 is moved to the bottom of the cryopreservation tube 101 at different positions, thereby lifting the cryopreservation tube 101, so that the cryopreservation tube 101 is clamped upward into the elastic bayonet 531 of the clamping member 50.

[0064] During operation, an empty cryopreservation box 40 is placed on any one of the trays 22, and then a plurality of cryopreservation boxes 30 to be taken out are placed on the remaining three trays 22 in sequence.

At this time, the mounting plate 61 moves downward under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 90, and each pressing head 62 will press all the cryotubes 101 on the clamping plate 53 into the empty cryobox 40 directly below the clamping plate 53. When all the cryotubes 101 on the clamping plate 53 are completely detached from the clamping plate 53, the pressing head 62 stops moving downward and starts to return to its original position through the telescopic cylinder 90. After the pressing head 62 returns to its original position, the turntable 21 rotates to move the taken-out cryobox 30, waiting for the cryobox 30 transfer module to take it away.
