The use of liquid nitrogen tanks also requires professional knowledge to prevent frostbite caused by contact with the skin during operation.

A temperature sensor 18 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 16. Through openings 19 are provided on the top surfaces of the second cold storage plate 9, the third cold storage plate 10, the fourth cold storage plate 11 and the fifth cold storage plate 12.

A rotating column 24 is rotatably connected to one side of the gear 23 inside the driving groove 20. A coupling 25 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating column 24 and the side wall of the gear 23. A belt 26 is arranged between the two couplings 25. One end of the rotating column 24 extends into the rectangular groove 15 and is connected to the side wall of the threaded rod 27.
[0023] In the application of the present invention, the storage box 17 can be fixed to prevent it from moving. Specifically, in the process of the first cold storage plate 8 approaching the second cold storage plate 9, the fixed plate 21 and the toothed belt 22 will be driven to move in the through hole 19, so that the gear 23 rotates. When the gear 23 rotates, the coupling 25 connected to the side wall of the gear 23 will rotate synchronously. When the coupling 25 on the gear 23 rotates, the coupling 25 on the rotating column 24 will rotate synchronously through the transmission of the belt 26, so that the threaded rod 27 rotates. When the threaded rod 27 rotates, the two driving blocks 28 will approach each other. When the driving blocks 28 move, the splints 29 connected to the side walls of the two driving blocks 28 will fix the two sides of the storage box 17. To cancel the fixation, you only need to lower the first cold storage plate 8 to keep it away from the second cold storage plate 9. As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the insulation mechanism includes: two electric push rods 31, the two electric push rods 31 are respectively arranged on the two clamping plates 29, the top surfaces of the two clamping plates 29 are provided with placement grooves 30, the two electric push rods 31 are respectively fixedly installed in the placement grooves 30, the output ends of the two electric push rods 31 are fixedly installed with top plates 32, the top surface of the second cold storage plate 9 is located on one side of the rectangular groove 15 and is provided with a rotating groove 33, the insulation mechanism also includes: a rotating rod 34, the rotating rod 34 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove 33, a torsion spring 35 is sleeved on the outer surface of one side of the rotating rod 34, and a low-temperature insulation cloth 36 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod 34, and the insulation mechanism also includes a moving component.
[0024] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5and Figure 8 The moving component includes: two moving blocks 39, the two moving blocks 39 are respectively arranged on the two top plates 32, and the adjacent surfaces of the two top plates 32 are provided with moving grooves 37. The inner walls of the two moving grooves 37 are rotatably connected with threaded rods 38.

[0025] In the application of the present invention, the storage box 17 can be kept warm according to the falling temperature of the storage box 17. When the temperature drops too quickly, ice crystals are formed in the blood bag or other stem cells, causing damage to the cell structure, the temperature sensor 18 detects the temperature of the blood bag or other stem cells inside the storage box 17. When the temperature drops more quickly than a predetermined value, the electric push rod 31 automatically starts to push the third cold storage plate 10 upward. At this time, the drive motor 40 is started to rotate the threaded rod 2 38 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 40. When the threaded rod 2 38 rotates, the moving block 39 moves in the moving groove 37. When the moving block 39 moves, the low-temperature insulation cloth 36 follows the moving block 39 to cover the top of the storage box 17 to avoid the temperature dropping too quickly. When it is necessary to cancel the covering of the storage box 17, the drive motor 40 only needs to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the rotating rod 34 will reel in the low-temperature insulation cloth 36 due to the rebound force of the torsion spring 35.
[0026] It is worth mentioning that the temperature sensor 18 is a thermocouple temperature sensor or a thermal resistor temperature sensor.

[0029] Step S300: When the temperature drop rate exceeds a predetermined value, the controller 4 starts the electric push rod 31 to lift the third cold storage plate 10 or other appropriate cold storage plates upward to slow down the cooling rate. At the same time, the drive motor 40 starts to rotate the threaded rod 38 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 40; the rotation of the threaded rod 38 drives the moving block 39 to move in the moving groove 37, thereby driving the low-temperature insulation cloth 36 to unfold and cover the top of the storage box 17 to achieve the insulation effect. The unfolding and winding of the low-temperature insulation cloth 36 are achieved by the cooperation of the rotating rod 34 and the torsion spring 35. When the covering needs to be cancelled, the drive motor 40 rotates in the opposite direction, and the rebound force of the torsion spring 35 causes the low-temperature insulation cloth 36 to automatically wind up.
[0030] The present invention is applied for a new type of programmed temperature control method for freezing stem cells. By providing a heat preservation mechanism, a temperature sensor is enabled to monitor the temperature changes of stem cells or blood bags inside the storage box in real time. When the temperature drops too quickly and may threaten the safety of the cell structure, the heat preservation mechanism can respond quickly. Through the coordinated action of the electric push rod and the drive motor, the low-temperature insulation cloth is automatically unfolded to cover the top of the storage box, effectively slowing down the temperature drop rate and avoiding the formation of ice crystals in the cells, thereby protecting the integrity and functional activity of the cell structure.
