[0034] The embodiment of the present application solves the technical problem of poor shock absorption effect of pig semen storage devices in the prior art by providing a constant temperature storage device and storage method for transporting pig semen.

[0035] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present application provides a constant temperature storage device for transporting pig semen, the storage device comprising:

[0037] The box body 10 has a buffer box 20 disposed therein;

[0038] A test tube rack 21, wherein the test tube rack 21 is arranged in the buffer box 20;

[0039] A buffer solution is disposed in the buffer tank 20 .

[0040] The test tube containing semen is placed in the storage hole of the test tube rack 21. The test tube rack 21 limits the test tube. When the box 10 is vibrated, the buffer buffers the test tube and reduces the impact of vibration on the semen.

[0041] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0042] Specifically, a groove 22 is provided on the bottom surface of the buffer box 20 corresponding to each storage hole of the test tube rack 21, so as to facilitate the positioning of the test tube in the buffer box 20, and the storage hole diameter of the test tube rack 21 is larger than the diameter of the test tube, so that the buffer solution can buffer the test tube when the test tube moves in the storage hole; the buffer solution is water or ethylene glycol.

[0043] Furthermore, the four corners of the test tube rack 21 are provided with connecting pieces 23, and the connecting pieces 23 are detachably arranged on the inner wall of the buffer box 20. The test tube rack 21 is hung on the inner wall of the buffer box 20 through the connecting pieces 23. When the box body 10 is vibrated, the buffer solution buffers the test tube rack 21, and the test tube rack 21 shakes slightly in the buffer box 20 through the connecting pieces 23, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the test tube.

[0044] Preferably, the connecting piece 23 is a circulation pipe, a joint 24 is provided on the side wall of the buffer tank 20, the circulation pipe is detachably connected to the joint 24, a circulating liquid tank 11, a circulating pump 12 and a power supply 13 are provided in the box body 10, the circulating pump 12 is connected to the power supply 13, and the circulating pump 12 is connected between the circulating liquid tank 11 and the joint 24 through a pipeline; a plurality of first nozzles 25 are provided on the inner wall of the storage hole of the test tube rack 21, a pipeline is provided inside the test tube rack 21, and the circulation pipe is connected to the first nozzle 25 through a pipeline.

[0045] Among the four circulation pipes, two circulation pipes are connected to the return liquid port of the circulating liquid tank 11, and two circulation pipes are connected to the liquid outlet of the circulating liquid tank 11; the test tube rack 21 is divided into two layers, the upper and lower layers, the first nozzle 25 is arranged on the upper layer of the test tube rack 21, and the lower layer of the test tube rack 21 is provided with a reflux port 26, and the bottom surface of the buffer box 20 is provided with a plurality of second nozzles 27 corresponding to each placement hole position of the test tube rack 21, the first nozzle 25 and the second nozzle 27 are both connected to the liquid outlet, and the reflux port 26 is connected to the return liquid port.

[0046] During the buffer circulation process, the buffer is sprayed from the first nozzle 25 and the second nozzle 27. The buffer sprayed from the first nozzle 25 balances the upper end of the test tube, reducing the shaking of the upper end of the test tube and the collision with the test tube rack 21. The buffer sprayed from the second nozzle 27 pushes the lower end of the test tube upward, reducing the power of the test tube to move downward, and reducing the impact of the vibration of the box 10 on the sperm in the test tube.

[0047] A temperature controller is provided in the circulating liquid tank 11, a temperature sensor 14 is provided in the buffer tank 20, a controller 15 is provided in the box body 10, the controller 15 and the temperature controller are both connected to the power supply 13, and the temperature sensor 14 is connected to the controller 15; a vibration sensor 16 is also provided in the box body 10, and the vibration sensor 16 is connected to the controller 15.

[0048] When the box body 10 is vibrated and the vibration sensor 16 senses the vibration, or the temperature in the buffer box 20 exceeds the set threshold, the controller 15 controls the circulation pump 12 to start, so that the buffer solution in the circulating liquid tank 11 circulates, which can not only make the temperature in the buffer box 20 constant, but also play a buffering and balancing role for the test tubes in the buffer box 20, thereby greatly improving the survival rate of sperm.

[0049] Optional, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, an annular airbag 30 is provided in the storage hole of each test tube rack 21, and the annular airbag 30 is used to fix the test tube, and the annular airbag 30 is arranged between the upper and lower layers of the test tube rack 21; a mounting ring 31 is provided on the outer side of the annular airbag 30, and the mounting ring 31 is connected to the plate of the upper layer of the test tube rack 21 through a connecting rope, and a plurality of balance plates 32 are fixedly provided on the outer side of the mounting ring 31, and a first magnet 33 is fixedly provided at the end of the upper end surface of the balance plate 32, and a second magnet 34 is provided at the upper plate of the test tube rack 21 corresponding to the first magnet 33, and the magnetic properties of the first magnet 33 and the second magnet 34 are the same; a plurality of air cylinders 35 are fixedly provided on the mounting ring 31, and the air cylinder 35 is communicated with the annular airbag 30, and a piston 36 is sealed in the air cylinder 35, and a piston rod 37 is fixedly provided on the piston 36, and the ends of all the piston rods 37 are fixedly connected by positioning rings 38.

[0050] An annular plate is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the test tube, and the test tube is inserted into the annular airbag 30, and the annular plate is placed on the positioning ring 38. Then the test tube and the positioning ring 38 are pressed downward, so that the piston rod 37 pushes the piston 36 to move in the cylinder 35, and the gas in the cylinder 35 is pressed into the annular airbag 30. The piston 36 and the inner wall of the cylinder 35 have friction. At the same time, the gas in the piston 36 is pressed into the annular airbag 30, so that the annular airbag 30 just opens and clamps the test tube. The air pressure in the annular airbag 30 is not enough to open the piston 36. When the buffer box 20 is vibrated, the annular airbag 30 gives buoyancy to the test tube. The repulsive force between the first magnet 33 and the second magnet prevents the test tube from shaking, making the test tube more stable. By pulling the positioning ring 38 upward, the piston 36 is driven to move upward, and then the gas in the annular airbag 30 is extracted, and the test tube is taken out of the test tube rack 21, which is easy to operate.

[0051] A storage method for transporting pig semen, using the storage device described in the above technical solution, the method comprises:

[0052] Put the test tube containing semen into the storage hole of the test tube rack 21, cover the buffer box 20 and the lid of the box body 10, and the buffer box 20 and its lid are sealed;

[0053] The temperature controller heats the buffer in the circulating liquid tank 11 to a preset temperature. When the temperature sensor 14 detects that the temperature of the buffer in the buffer tank 20 exceeds the preset temperature threshold, the controller 15 starts the circulating pump 12 to circulate the buffer to keep the temperature in the buffer tank 20 constant. In practice, the temperature in the buffer tank 20 is kept at 15-19 degrees as a suitable temperature, and the optimal temperature is 19 degrees. If the temperature in the buffer tank 20 does not exceed the temperature threshold, the circulating pump 12 will not start to reduce the consumption of electric energy.

[0054] When the vibration sensor 16 detects vibration, the controller 15 starts the circulation pump 12, the first nozzle 25 and the second nozzle 27 spray liquid toward the test tube, and the reflux port 26 draws the liquid in the buffer box 20. Only when the box body 10 is vibrated and touches the vibration sensor 16, the circulation pump 12 is started, which has a buffering effect on the test tube and keeps the temperature in the buffer box 20 constant, greatly improving the survival rate of sperm.

[0055] During transportation, the temperature is lowered and vibration will affect the vitality of semen, saving breeding costs.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention.
