[0019] Working principle: When using the ice bath device for endocrine hormone testing, first, the support feet 305 are used to support the bottom of the ice bath device body 1, ice cubes and water are added into the inner tank 2, the inner tank 2 and the outer shell 3 are insulated by the heat-insulating filler 302, and the support seat 301 plays a reliable supporting role for the inner tank 2, and then the positioning frame 9 is inserted into the outer shell 3, and then the heat exchange barrel 11 is inserted into the positioning frame 9. At this time, the bottom of the heat exchange barrel 11 is pressed into the ice water, and then the test reagent tubes 8 after the endocrine hormone test sampling are inserted into the plug-in slots 401 of the conveyor positioning belt 4 in sequence, and the test reagent tubes 8 are placed After the placement is completed, the cover plate 7 is covered on the positioning frame 9 and fastened by the magnetic attraction piece 902, and the second flip cover 701 is ensured to be in a closed state. When ice cubes need to be added, the ice cube feeding barrel 6 is rotated by rotating the plug rod 602 so that the inlet and outlet holes 601 are located at the first flip cover 303, and then the first flip cover 303 is opened to add ice cubes into the ice cube feeding barrel 6. After closing the first flip cover 303, the ice cube feeding barrel 6 is rotated again to discharge the ice cubes from the inlet and outlet holes 601 into the inner tank 2. Under the action of gravity, the ice cubes slide from the inclined bottom surface of the inner tank 2 to the lower part of the heat exchange barrel 11. If the water level rises, The water is discharged through the overflow hole 201. When the test reagent tube 8 is stored at low temperature through the ice bath device body 1, the micro fan 10 is turned on to extract the cold air in the inner tank 2, and send the cold air from the second connecting hole 307 on one side to the first connecting hole 306, and then spray it from the cold flow guide hole 901 on one side to act on the test reagent tube 8. The cold flow guide hole 901, the first connecting hole 306 and the second connecting hole 307 on the other side are connected to the exhaust hole 12 to realize the circulation of cold air. The installation cover 304 is used for the cover design of the exhaust hole 12 and the installation protection treatment of the micro fan 10. When the test reagent tube 8 needs to be taken out, the second flip cover 701 is opened, and then the test reagent tube 8 at the edge position is extracted first. In the process of taking the next test reagent tube 8, the conveyor positioning belt 4 is pulled by the test reagent tube 8. The conveyor positioning belt 4 is engaged with the roller 5, so that the roller 5 rotates under the cooperation of the rotating shaft 501 and the positioning protrusion 1101, so that the test reagent tube 8 is gradually moved toward the second flip cover 701. The opening area of ​​the second flip cover 701 is small, which reduces the loss of cold air. When the ice bath device body 1 is cleaned, the sewage is discharged through the sewage hole 202, thereby completing a series of tasks.
