Among them, the thermal insulation box housing is made of environmentally friendly foamed thermal insulation material, a thermal insulation layer 8 is arranged on the top plate of the thermal insulation box housing, and a storage area of -80 °C is provided in the thermal insulation box housing. The top of the device is separated by a heat insulation layer to ensure that the heat generated by the device and the cold in the storage area cancel each other out, thereby optimizing the sample storage environment and ensuring the safety of the samples.

[0028] As Figure 8As shown, the surface of the safety insulation door is a toughened glass panel. There is a test tube rack access opening on the safety insulation door to ensure that the samples inside the equipment will not be affected during the sample access process. According to production requirements, the test tube rack access opening includes an outer sealing door 81 provided on the front of the safety insulation door and an inner sealing sliding door 82 provided on the back of the safety insulation door.

The automatic clamping station uses two grippers installed on both sides to perform a clamping action. The image acquisition station uses a QR code camera for taking pictures to capture the position compensation of the test tube rack, making the grasping work safer and more effective. For the test tubes of the incoming samples, which may be frosted due to contact with the external humid environment, a special defrosting function can also be designed. The defrosting station uses an alcohol spraying device in the existing technology to complete the cleaning function of the test tube rack, by cleaning the test tubes and the bottom of the test tube rack, so as to make the subsequent picture taking and code reading more accurate and efficient. The dehumidifying and air suction station uses the method of pumping air or blowing nitrogen to complete the dehumidifying function.

[0029] As Figure 9As shown, the drum storage rack includes an inner drum storage rack 21 and an outer drum storage rack 22 which are arranged concentrically. The drum driving mechanism is arranged above the top plate of the heat preservation box shell, including an inner drum driving assembly 31 for driving the inner drum storage rack to rotate forward or reversely, and an outer drum driving assembly 32 for driving the outer drum storage rack to rotate forward or reversely. The gripper transport driving mechanism is used to drive the rotation and extension of the gripper to grab the test tube racks in the inner drum storage rack and the outer drum storage rack. The movement trajectory of the gripper is within the range of the inscribed circle formed by the inner and outer drum mechanisms and the entrance and exit of the test tube rack. The center of the inscribed circle is the rotation center of the gripper. The inner drum storage rack and the outer drum storage rack have the same structure, including a drum 211, and a plurality of rollers arranged in layers around the circumference of the drum. The freezing rack 212 and the test tube racks arranged in several freezing racks, the side panels on both sides of the freezing rack are fixedly connected to the upper and lower plates of the rotating drum, the freezing rack is a sheet metal part, the gap between the test tube racks in the freezing rack is close to 8MM, the rotating shaft of the inner ring and the outer ring of the inner rotating drum storage rack is a round tube, and the inner and outer sides can be rotated at different angles through bearing connection. Several freezing racks distributed in a ring shape in the outer rotating drum storage rack have a group of spaces to form a material retrieval station 15, so as to facilitate the gripper to grab the test tube rack in the freezing rack on the inner rotating drum storage rack. The gripper can achieve double-depth grabbing. The setting of the inner and outer two-layer rotating drum storage racks can store more biological samples. Compared with the previous single-layer freezing rack form, the double-layer storage has a great advantage and saves more volume. Specifically, the inner drum drive assembly includes a first worm drive motor 311 arranged above the top plate of the insulation box shell and a first worm 312 connected to the first worm drive motor, the first worm is meshed with a first gear 313 at the top of the shaft of the inner drum storage rack; the outer drum drive assembly includes a second worm drive motor 321 arranged above the top plate of the insulation box shell and a second worm 322 connected to the second worm drive motor, the second worm is meshed with a second gear 323 at the top of the shaft of the outer drum storage rack, the inner drum drive assembly and the outer drum drive assembly are both connected to a manual drum drive assembly, the manual drum drive assembly includes a parallel shaft fixing frame 9 and a parallel shaft 10 rotatably arranged on the parallel shaft fixing frame, one end of the parallel shaft is connected to one end of the first worm through a chain B 11 transmission, which can be used to manually rotate the internal drum storage rack, and is used for manually rotating the drum storage rack when a power outage occurs.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the gripper lifting drive mechanism includes a lifting column 51 disposed inside the incubator housing, a ball screw module 52 disposed on the lifting column, a guide rail 53 disposed on the side of the lifting column, and a fixing plate 54 connected to the slider on the rail. The ball screw module is connected to the fixing plate and can drive the fixing plate to move up and down. The gripper handling drive mechanism includes a bottom plate 601 connected to the fixing plate, a rotation drive mechanism, and a multi-stage telescopic material taking mechanism. The gripper is disposed on the multi-stage telescopic material taking mechanism. The rotation drive mechanism is disposed below the multi-stage telescopic material taking mechanism and can drive the multi-stage telescopic material taking mechanism to rotate to facilitate the gripper to grasp the test tube racks in different directions. The rotation drive mechanism includes a turntable drive motor 602 disposed on the bottom plate. The output end of the turntable drive motor is connected to a rotating shaft 613 disposed below the first-stage turntable plate through a belt 603. Through the interaction of the lifting and rotation functions with the rotation of the rotary storage rack, any group of test tube racks on the inner and outer circles of the left and right sides of the frozen storage rack can be grasped.

[0031] As Figure 4-7 shown in the figure, the multi-stage telescopic material taking mechanism includes a first-stage turntable plate 604, a second-stage telescopic plate 605, a third-stage telescopic plate 606, and a swing arm drive assembly. The second-stage telescopic plate is slidably connected to the first-stage turntable plate through a first slide rail 607. The third-stage telescopic plate is slidably connected to the second-stage turntable plate through a second slide rail 608. Chain and sprocket assemblies are respectively disposed on both sides of the second-stage telescopic plate. The swing arm drive assembly includes a swing arm drive motor 609 disposed on the first-stage turntable plate and a swing arm 600. One end of the swing arm is connected to the swing arm drive motor, and the other end is disposed in a chute 610 below the second-stage telescopic plate. The swing arm drive motor can drive the swing arm to swing back and forth to drive the extension and retraction movements of the second-stage telescopic plate and the third-stage telescopic plate.

[0032] Specifically, the chain and sprocket assembly includes sprockets 611 disposed diagonally on both sides of the second-stage telescopic plate and a chain A 612 wound around the sprockets. One end of the chain A is connected to the first-stage turntable plate, and the other end of the chain A is connected to the third-stage telescopic plate. The gripper 12 is installed at the front end of the third-stage telescopic plate. Test tube rack guide plates 13 are also disposed on both sides of the gripper. The drive motor drives the swing arm to swing towards the rotary storage rack, driving the second-stage telescopic plate to move towards the rotary storage rack. Through the cooperation of the sprockets and the chain, the third-stage telescopic plate can be driven to move towards the rotary storage rack to support the test tube rack 14 in the frozen storage rack. The setting of the multi-stage telescopic material taking mechanism enables the second-stage telescopic plate and the third-stage telescopic plate to slide and extend simultaneously, facilitating the support and transportation of the test tube rack. After the test tube racks in the outer rotary storage rack are taken and placed, it can further retract inward to take materials from the inner rotary frozen storage rack, and can realize double-depth grasping of the test tube rack.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the intelligent cryogenic refrigerator for storing biological samples of the present invention are:

[0034] 1. The setting of two groups of rotary drum storage racks has great advantages in terms of storage capacity compared with the previous single-layer freezing storage rack form. Each group of rotary drum storage racks is divided into an inner ring and an outer ring of two sets of independently moving inner and outer rotary drum storage racks. The gripper interacts with the rotation of the rotary drum storage rack through lifting and rotating functions to achieve grasping any set of test tube racks on the freezing storage racks in the inner and outer rotary drum storage racks on the left and right sides. The gripper cooperates with a multi-stage telescopic feeding mechanism to be able to grasp test tube racks in double-depth. The moving parts for sample in and out of the warehouse are few, with high efficiency and relatively small occupied space. The secondary telescopic plate and the tertiary telescopic plate can be extended in sequence according to the actual transportation space, which is convenient to use. It can realize fully automatic low-temperature access operation of biological samples, effectively improving work efficiency.

[0035] 2. The rotary drum drive mechanism of the worm and worm gear is also connected to a set of external manual rotary drum drive components, which can be used for manual rotation of the internal storage rack for operation of manually rotating the storage rack in case of power failure.

[0036] 3. The automatic function area at the entrance and exit of the test tube rack is integrated into an actually openable invisible sealed safety insulation door. This area is integrated with two sealed doors for internal and external interaction. The inner door automatically opens and closes corresponding to the internal gripper's picking and placing tasks, and the outer door corresponds to external operators or other automated equipment. When receiving a task instruction, the sealed door automatically opens and closes. The two sealed doors are ensured not to open simultaneously to ensure that the low-temperature environment of the samples inside the equipment will not be affected during the sample in and out process, optimizing the sample storage environment and ensuring sample safety. The insulation door is also provided with an automatic clamping station. When the test tube rack for in and out of the warehouse is placed at this station, the two positioning blocks will have a slight clamping as the secondary positioning of the test tube rack to ensure the accuracy of picking the test tube rack. There is a hidden nozzle at the bottom of the clamping station. When the incoming test tube rack from the outside cannot be recognized by bottom photographing identification, the hidden nozzle automatically slides to the bottom of the test tube for spraying defrosting, and at the same time, the top exhaust fan starts to extract the internal gas to ensure the high efficiency of sample in and out of the warehouse.

[0037] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and thus do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
