Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sample access in a biobank, and more particularly, to a mobile liquid nitrogen tank access device. Background Art

[0002] A biobank is an important basic facility in current medical and biological research. By cryopreservation, biological tissues such as blood, stem cells, and immune cells can maintain their activity for a long time. The conventional method is to store biological samples in a liquid nitrogen tank. A liquid nitrogen tank is a device specifically used to store liquid nitrogen. It utilizes the low-temperature characteristics of liquid nitrogen to provide an extremely low-temperature environment. Inside, it is isolated by insulating materials to reduce heat dissipation, and the internal air pressure is controlled through a gas discharge system to maintain the stable state of liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen tanks can generally be divided into two types: liquid nitrogen storage tanks and liquid nitrogen transport tanks.

[0003] However, when taking out biological samples, it is necessary to open the liquid nitrogen tank. Usually, when personnel select samples, the speed is slow. During this period, the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen tank will diffuse outward along the open tank mouth, resulting in a large loss of liquid nitrogen. Moreover, the biological samples are exposed to the external normal-temperature environment for a long time, causing great harm to the biological samples. Repeating this process may damage the activity of the biological samples. At the same time, when personnel take biological samples, the low temperature of liquid nitrogen is likely to cause frostbite to the hands, posing a great safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

The storage disc 400 is horizontally fixed inside the liquid nitrogen tank 700; the storage tube strip 500 is provided with a plurality of storage tube grooves 510 for storing cryopreservation tubes 600 at intervals along the length direction, and the storage tube strip 500 is slidably arranged on the storage disc 400 along the radial direction; the clamping group 200 includes a moving barrel 210, a push-pull assembly and a clamping jaw head 220. The moving barrel 210 is used to extend into or out of the liquid nitrogen tank 700; the push-pull assembly and the clamping jaw head 220 are connected to the moving barrel 210; the push-pull assembly is used to connect to or disengage from the storage tube strip 500, and the push-pull assembly is used to pull the storage tube strip 500 to reciprocate along the radial direction, so that the cryopreservation tube 600 on the storage tube groove 510 corresponds to the position of the clamping jaw head 220; the clamping jaw head 220 is used to grab the cryopreservation tube 600; the driving group 100 is fixed on the top of the liquid nitrogen tank 700, the driving group 100 is connected to the clamping group 200, and the driving group 100 is used to drive the moving barrel 210 to move up and down or rotate, so that the push-pull assembly corresponds to the position of the storage tube strip 500.

The clamping group 200 pulls the storage tube strip 500 to reciprocate along the radial direction of the storage disc 400, and pulls the cryopreservation tube 600 to move to the lower part of the clamping jaw head 220 in turn for clamping. The push-pull assembly and the storage tube strip 500 can cooperate to pull the storage tube strip 500 to move.

Then, the driving group 100 drives the clamping group 200 to move downward, and the cryopreservation tube 600 is grabbed by the clamping jaw head 220. After grabbing one cryopreservation tube 600, the push-pull assembly continues to pull the storage tube strip 500 to move, so that the clamping jaw head 220 grabs the cryopreservation tubes 600 on the storage tube strip 500 in turn.

[0065] The barrel body 211 is provided with a fourth hole 212 and a tube clamping groove 213. The tube clamping groove 213 is located on one side inside the moving barrel 210, and the tube clamping groove 213 functions to clamp and store the cryopreservation tube 600. The tube clamping groove 213 includes a tube storage channel 2131, a barrel body groove 2132, and a limiting sliding groove 2133. The tube storage channel 2131 is located above the main body of the tube clamping groove 213 and on one side inside the moving barrel 210, and the tube storage channel 2131 is used for storing the cryopreservation tube 600.

The semi-circular grippers 221 are in the shape of a minor arc. When the gripper head 220 is installed in the barrel body groove 2132, the two semi-circular grippers 221 will maintain a certain distance to facilitate clamping the cryogenic tube 600; the protrusions 222 are located on one side of the semi-circular grippers 221, and the protrusions 222 cooperate with the limit sliding grooves 2133 for sliding. The limit sliding grooves 2133 are adapted to the protrusions 222 to prevent the protrusions 222 from falling off. A first magnet (not shown in the figure) is installed on the outer end face of the protrusions 222.

[0067] When the first electromagnet is energized in the forward direction, the first electromagnet repels the first magnet, and the two semi-circular grippers 221 approach each other to clamp the cryogenic tube 600.

The clamped cryogenic tubes 600 are sequentially squeezed into the storage tube channel 2131. When it is necessary to take out the cryogenic tube 600, it can be taken out by separating the two gripper heads 220 from each other.

The T-shaped member 231 is slidably engaged with the T-shaped chute 217, and the second magnet is mounted on the rear end surface of the T-shaped member 231. The convex plate 232 is located at the rear end of the T-shaped member 231, and the convex plate 232 cooperates with the baffle 218 for limiting, so that the push-pull member 230 cannot rush out of the T-shaped chute 217. The push-pull rod 233 is located on one side of the bottom end of the T-shaped member 231, and a third electromagnet (not shown in the figure) is mounted on the end surface of the push-pull rod 233 facing the moving cylinder 210.

[0076] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , in this embodiment, a rack 530 is provided along the length direction on one side of the storage tube strip 500, and a long slot 520 is provided along the length direction on the other side of the storage tube strip 500.

[0077] The rack 530 is used to engage or disengage from the gear 240. The long slot 520 is used for the push-pull rod 233 to insert or withdraw, so as to be able to drive the storage tube strip 500 to move synchronously.

[0078] Referring to Figure 14 As shown, the storage tube strip 500 includes a storage tube groove 510, a long slot 520, and a rack 530. The storage tube grooves 510 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the storage tube strip 500. The long slot 520 is located on one side of the storage tube groove 510, and the long slot 520 penetrates through the storage tube strip 500 up and down.

Referring to Figure 1 As shown, the cryopreservation tube 600 is placed in the storage tube groove 510 in the storage tube strip 500. Referring to Figure 15 As shown, the cryopreservation tube 600 includes a tube cap 610. The tube cap 610 is located at the upper end of the main body of the cryopreservation tube 600, and the tube cap 610 plays a sealing role.

[0079] Refer to Figure 11 and Figure 13 In this embodiment, the number of storage discs 400 is multiple, and the multiple storage discs 400 are fixedly arranged in the liquid nitrogen tank 700 at intervals along the height direction of the liquid nitrogen tank 700; each storage disc 400 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves extending radially, and each sliding groove slidably arranges a storage tube strip 500, and each sliding groove is arranged in the same radial direction as the corresponding other sliding groove along the radial direction, so that the storage tube strip 500 can move between two sliding grooves arranged in the same radial direction.

[0080] During the process of the push-pull rod 233 pulling a storage tube strip 500 to move, it can move to another sliding groove with an opposite position, and the two storage tube strips 500 symmetrically arranged along the radial direction avoid each other by using the sliding grooves during the radial movement. After the clamping is completed, the push-pull rod 233 drives the storage tube strip 500 extending out of the sliding groove to reset, and the storage tube strip 500 retracting into the sliding groove resets by relying on the magnetic repulsion between the storage tube strip 500 and the sliding groove, that is, the repulsive effect of the fourth electromagnet and the fourth magnet mentioned below.

[0081] Refer to Figure 11 , the mobile liquid nitrogen tank access device further includes a support cylinder 300, and the support cylinder 300 plays a supporting role and is located in the middle of the liquid nitrogen tank 700; refer to Figure 12 As shown, the support cylinder 300 includes a square through hole 310; the square through hole 310 is located on the circumferential surface of the main body of the support cylinder 300, the square through hole 310 is a through square hole, there are twenty in one layer, and six layers are evenly arranged, and the number is determined according to actual needs; refer to Figure 11 As shown, the storage disc 400 is located outside the support cylinder 300, the storage disc 400 is fixed on the support cylinder 300, and is evenly arranged in the liquid nitrogen tank 700 at equal intervals.

[0082] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 13 , in this embodiment, one end of the sliding groove far from the circular through hole 410 is bent and extended and fixed with a fourth electromagnet; the material of the storage tube strip 500 is a soft material; a fourth magnet is arranged at one end of the storage tube strip 500 far from the circular through hole 410, and the storage tube strip 500 moves in the direction of the circular through hole 410 to reset under the repulsive effect of the fourth electromagnet and the fourth magnet.

[0083] Refer to Figure 13 As shown, the storage disc 400 includes a circular through hole 410 and a curved sliding groove 420; the circular through hole 410 is located in the middle of the main body of the storage disc 400 and is used for placing the support cylinder 300; the curved sliding groove 420 is circumferentially arranged outside the circular through hole 410, the bottom end surface of the curved sliding groove 420 is kept horizontal with the lower end surface of the square through hole 310, and a fourth electromagnet (not shown in the figure) is installed at the end of the curved part of the curved sliding groove 420. Refer toFigure 1 As shown, the storage tube strip 500 is installed on the storage disc 400. The storage tube strip 500 is made of rubber. A fourth magnet is installed at one end of the storage tube strip 500 close to the bent part of the bent slideway 420, and the magnet at the rear end of the storage tube strip 500 is in repulsive cooperation with the magnet on the end of the bent part of 420. Under normal circumstances, since the two magnets are at a certain distance, the storage tube strip 500 will not move towards the circular through-hole 410 due to the repulsive force. However, when the magnet at the rear end of the storage tube strip 500 approaches the magnet on the end of the bent part of the bent slideway 420, a repulsive force will be generated (not shown in the figure).

[0084] Refer to Figure 16 , the liquid nitrogen tank 700 includes a limiting square groove 710, a circular opening 720, and a limiting ring 730; the limiting square groove 710 is located at the upper end of the main body of the liquid nitrogen tank 700, and the limiting square groove 710 limits the support frame 130; the circular opening 720 is located in the middle of the main body of the liquid nitrogen tank 700. When the cryopreservation tube 600 is not being accessed, the circular opening 720 is sealed in cooperation with the sealing cover 219. When the cryopreservation tube 600 is being accessed, the circular opening 720 is in cooperation with the moving barrel 210 to prevent excessive liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen tank 700 from escaping from the liquid nitrogen tank 700; the limiting ring 730 is located inside the main body of the liquid nitrogen tank 700, and the limiting ring 730 plays a role in supporting and fixing the support barrel 300.

[0085] According to a mobile liquid nitrogen tank access device provided by this embodiment, the working principle of the mobile liquid nitrogen tank access device is as follows:

[0086] In the initial state, refer to Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the sealing cover 219 coincides with the circular opening 720 for sealing. When the cryopreservation tube 600 needs to be taken out, the first motor 110 is started. The first motor 110 drives the screw 120 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 120 drives the moving plate 160 to move downward, and then drives the first shaft 150 to move downward, so that the entire clamping group 200 moves downward. The sealing cover 219 is separated from the circular opening 720, and the moving barrel 210 moves to the circular opening 720. The moving barrel 210 cooperates with the circular opening 720 to prevent excessive liquid nitrogen from escaping. The second motor 140 is started. The second motor 140 drives the first shaft 150 and the moving barrel 210 to rotate in sequence, and then the second electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217 is energized to generate repulsion, so that the electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217 and the second magnet at the rear end of the push-pull member 230 generate a repulsive force, thereby pushing the push-pull member 230 forward until the push-pull rod 233 moves directly above the long hole 520 where the cryopreservation tube 600 to be taken out is located. Refer to Figure 17 As shown; stop starting the second motor 140, and then cut off the power supply of the second electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217. At this time, the clamping group 200 continues to move downward until the push-pull rod 233 enters the long hole 520. Refer to Figure 18As shown; stop starting the first motor 110, reverse the power supply of the second electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217 to attract each other, so that the second electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217 and the second magnet at the rear end of the push-pull member 230 generate an attractive force, thereby causing the push-pull member 230 to move backward, and the push-rod 233 pulls the storage tube strip 500 to move in the direction close to the other storage tube strip 500 until the rack 530 meshes with the gear 240, refer to Figure 19 As shown; then cut off the power supply of the second electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217. At this time, start the third motor 260. The third motor 260 drives the second shaft 250 and the gear 240 to rotate. The gear 240 meshes with the rack 530 to drive, so that the storage tube strip 500 continues to move in the direction close to the other storage tube strip 500 on the opposite side. When the storage tube strip 500 moves in the direction close to the other storage tube strip 500 on the opposite side, it squeezes the storage tube strip 500 on the opposite side, causing the storage tube strip 500 on the opposite side to retreat. When the frozen tube 600 to be taken out moves directly below the jaw head 220, start the first motor 110 to drive the entire clamping group 200 to move downward, so that the jaw head 220 coincides with the tube cap 610, refer to Figure 20 As shown; stop starting the first motor 110, energize the first electromagnet on the limit chute 2133, so that the first electromagnet on the limit chute 2133 and the first magnet on the protrusion 222 generate a repulsive force, thereby pushing the semi-circular jaw 221 to squeeze the tube cap 610 inward to fix the frozen tube 600. Then start the first motor 110 to make the entire clamping group 200 move upward. The jaw head 220 drives the frozen tube 600 to move upward until it moves to a position where it does not prevent the frozen tube 600 below from being taken out, and then stop starting the first motor 110, refer to Figure 21 As shown; then if it is still necessary to take out the next frozen tube 600, start the third motor 260, so that the storage tube strip 500 continues to move in the direction close to the other storage tube strip 500 on the opposite side until the next frozen tube 600 is aligned with the jaw head 220 vertically. Then stop starting the third motor 260, reverse the power supply of the first electromagnet on the limit chute 2133 to attract each other, so that the first electromagnet on the limit chute 2133 and the first magnet on the protrusion 222 generate an attractive force, thereby causing the jaw head 220 to move to both sides, releasing the restriction on the first frozen tube 600. Since the first frozen tube 600 is directly above the second frozen tube 600 to be taken out, the first frozen tube 600 will not fall, but remains directly above the second frozen tube 600. At this time, start the first motor 110 to make the entire clamping group 200 move downward. The first frozen tube 600 is squeezed upward by the frozen tube 600 below and enters the storage tube channel 2131, refer to Figure 22As shown in the figure; the jaw head 220 continues to move downward until the jaw head 220 coincides with the second cryotube 600, then stop starting the first motor 110. Next, repeat the process of taking out the jaw head 220, and the second cryotube 600 can be taken out. After taking out all the cryotubes 600 to be taken on the storage tube strip 500, start the third motor 260 to make the storage tube strip 500 move away from the opposite storage tube strip 500 on the other side. The storage tube strip 500 on the opposite side is released from the limit as the storage tube strip 500 moves. Also, due to the repulsive force of the fourth electromagnet at the end of the bending slideway 420 where the rear end of the storage tube strip 500 on the opposite side is located, it returns to its original position. The storage tube strip 500 continues to move away from the storage tube strip 500 on the other side until the gear 240 disengages from the rack 530. At this time, stop starting the third motor 260, and then energize the second electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217 to repel, so that the second electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217 and the second magnet at the rear end of the push-pull member 230 generate a repulsive force, thereby pushing the push-pull member 230 to move forward. And at this time, energize the third electromagnet on the push rod 233 to attract, so that the electromagnet on the push rod 233 generates an attractive force on the third magnet on the long slot 520. Therefore, when the push-pull member 230 moves away from the storage tube strip 500 on the other side, the storage tube strip 500 follows and moves to the right until the storage tube strip 500 retracts to its original position. At this time, cut off the power supply of the third electromagnet on the push rod 233 to release the restriction on the storage tube strip 500, and then start the first motor 110 to make the clamping group 200 move upward as a whole. After the push rod 233 disengages from the long slot 520, then energize the second electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217 to attract, so that the second electromagnet in the T-shaped chute 217 and the second magnet at the rear end of the push-pull member 230 generate an attractive force, thereby making the push-pull member 230 move to the left to its original position. The clamping group 200 continues to move upward until the sealing cover 219 coincides with the circular opening 720, and the whole process ends, and the cryotube 600 is successfully taken out.

[0087] A mobile liquid nitrogen tank access device provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0088] The clamping group 200 reaches the designated position for taking out the cryotube 600 in the liquid nitrogen tank 700 through rotation and vertical movement. Then, through the cooperation between the push-pull assembly and the storage disc 400, the storage tube strip 500, and the cryotube 600, the storage tube strip 500 is pulled to move radially. Furthermore, the jaw head 220 on the clamping group 200 clamps out the cryotube 600 located in the storage tube strip 500 to complete the tube-taking process. This process does not require manual intervention, avoiding human injury, and the biological samples will not be exposed to the external normal temperature environment for a long time and are not easily inactivated.

[0089] The barrel body 211 and the sealing cover 219 are used to be hermetically fitted with the circular opening 720 alternately during the up and down movement of the moving barrel 210. During the process of taking out the cryotube 600, the opening 720 of the liquid nitrogen tank 700 is always covered, so there will be no situation of a large amount of liquid nitrogen loss.

[0090] Through the cooperation among the clamping group 200, the supporting barrel 300, the storage disc 400, the cryotube strip 500, and the cryotube 600, the problems existing in the existing liquid nitrogen tank 700 access equipment, such as the danger during manual access, the easy inactivation of biological samples, and the large amount of liquid nitrogen loss, are solved.

[0091] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
