[0066] According to the flip liquid nitrogen tank cover provided by the embodiment, the working principle of the flip liquid nitrogen tank cover is as follows: in a normal state, the flip pieces 233 are combined into a circular surface to block the through hole of the outer cover 21, and the pressing plate 2113 is located in the arc-shaped exhaust air channel of the barrier 2121, and the notch on the pressing plate 2113 is staggered with the notch on the sidewall of the barrier 2121, so that the inside and outside of the liquid nitrogen tank are isolated; when the cover 2 of the liquid nitrogen tank is opened, the operator is first identified by the inductor 22, and then the instructions are transmitted to the sliding piece 2112 and the first motor 231; the sliding piece 2112 slides outward along the sliding groove 2111, at this time, the protrusion on the sliding piece 2112 is separated from the groove on the sidewall of the flip piece 233, and the flip piece 233 is no longer limited; then the first motor 231 starts to work, driving the flip piece 233 to rotate by 180°, at this time, the cover 2 is opened; at the same time when the cover 2 is opened, the arc surface protrusion 2331 of the flip piece 233 rotates by 180° to press the upper surface of the pressing plate 2113, so that the pressing plate 2113 compresses the spring 2122 downward along the barrier 2121, and when the pressing plate 2113 moves to the limit position, the notch on the pressing plate 2113 is aligned with the notch on the barrier 2121, so that the gas can flow through; at the same time, the pressure sensor 2123 is pressed, the second motor 2124 is controlled to drive the exhaust fan 2125 to rotate, so that the white mist is sucked into the air inlet 2126, passes through the notches on the pressing plate 2113 and the barrier 2121, and is discharged from the air outlet 2127, completing the demisting work; after the liquid nitrogen tank is used, the inductor 22 detects that the user leaves, and then transmits information to the first motor 231 and the sliding piece 2112; the first motor 231 is then reversed to drive the flip piece 233 to reset; then the sliding piece 2112 slides inward along the sliding groove 2111, at this time, the protrusion on the sliding piece 2112 is inserted into the groove of the flip piece 233 to limit it, thereby completing the closure of the cover 2.
[0067] The flip liquid nitrogen tank cover provided by the embodiment has at least the following advantages:
[0068] The opening and closing of the through hole on the cover 2 are controlled by the inductor 22, the pressing plate 2113 is rotated by the inner cover 23 to realize the conduction or blockage of the exhaust air channel, so as to realize the removal of white mist and the closing of the through hole. The white mist generated when the liquid nitrogen tank is opened can be quickly removed, so as to ensure that the operator is not disturbed by the white mist, the degree of automation and efficiency are high, and the use efficiency of the liquid nitrogen tank can be improved.
[0069] Through the cooperation of the inductor 22 and the pressure sensor 2123, the user can be identified, and the liquid nitrogen tank can be easily opened by non-workers.
[0070] Through the cooperation of the flip piece 233, the connecting rod 232 and the sliding piece 2112, the cover 2 can be quickly opened, and the cover can be automatically closed after use to avoid the volatilization of liquid nitrogen.
[0071] Through the cooperation of the exhaust fan 2125, the air inlet 2126 and the air outlet 2127, the white mist generated when the liquid nitrogen tank is opened can be quickly removed, so that the operator is not disturbed by the white mist.
[0072] The present application is simple to operate, has high automation degree and efficiency, and can improve the use efficiency of the liquid nitrogen tank.
[0073] The embodiment of the present application also provides a liquid nitrogen tank. The liquid nitrogen tank comprises a liquid nitrogen tank body 1 and a turned-over liquid nitrogen tank cover, and the inner side of the top of the liquid nitrogen tank body 1 is provided with an internal thread, which is used for threaded connection with an external thread of the cover body 2 of the liquid nitrogen tank.
