[0098] The first liquid level sensor 108, the liquid inlet pipe 109, the first temperature sensor 110 and the second liquid level sensor 111 are all located inside the heat preservation tank body 101. The first liquid level sensor 108 and the liquid inlet pipe 109 are both located close to the lower surface of the turntable 106 (the distance between the liquid inlet pipe 109 and the lower surface of the turntable 106 is 10 mm to 50 mm). The first temperature sensor 110 is located at the outer peripheral wall of the turntable 106. The second liquid level sensor 111 is located at the inner top of the heat preservation tank body 101.

[0100] The second temperature sensor is located in the cylinder 301;

[0101] The control unit 50 includes a controller,

[0102] When the controller receives a signal that specifies a frozen storage area to be located below the sampling port 102 of the heat preservation tank, the controller sends a start signal to a first execution element that controls the opening and closing of the motor 204 (for example, a first relay that conducts between the motor 204 and an external power source), so that the motor 204 and the external power source are in a conducting state, so that the turntable 106 is rotated; when the frozen storage area is located below the sampling port 102 of the heat preservation tank, the controller sends a shutdown signal to the first execution element that controls the opening and closing of the motor 204, so that the motor 204 and the external power source are in a disconnected state;

[0103] When the controller receives a signal for horizontally moving the lifting assembly, the controller sends a start signal to a second execution element (for example, a second relay between the drive motor and an external power source) that controls the opening and closing of the drive motor of the lifting assembly, so that the drive motor and the external power source are in a conducting state, so that the lifting assembly moves horizontally; when the lifting assembly moves to a specified position, the controller sends a shutdown signal to the second execution element that controls the opening and closing of the drive motor of the lifting assembly, so that the drive motor and the external power source are in a disconnected state;

[0104] When the controller receives a signal causing the hook of the lifting assembly to be raised or lowered, the controller sends a start signal to a third execution element that controls the opening and closing of the lifting motor of the lifting assembly (for example, turning on a third relay between the lifting motor and an external power supply), so that the lifting motor and the external power supply are in a conducting state, so that the hook of the lifting motor rises or falls; when the hook of the lifting motor rises or falls to a specified position, the controller sends a shutdown signal to the third execution element that controls the opening and closing of the lifting motor, so that the lifting or falling of the hook of the lifting motor is disconnected from the external power supply;

[0105] The controller receives a first liquid level signal detected by the first liquid level sensor 108, and converts the first liquid level signal into a first digital signal. When the first digital signal is less than a preset liquid replenishment starting value, the controller sends a first control signal to the liquid replenishment valve 112 and the liquid inlet valve 113, and the liquid replenishment valve 112 and the liquid inlet valve 113 are opened, so that the external liquid is replenished to the bottom of the thermal insulation tank body 101 through the liquid inlet pipe 109;

[0106] The controller receives a first temperature signal or a second temperature signal corresponding to the first temperature sensor 110 or the second temperature sensor, and converts the first temperature signal or the second temperature signal into a second digital signal or a third digital signal respectively. When one of the second digital signal or the third digital signal is greater than the exhaust setting value preset in the corresponding control unit, the controller sends a second control signal to the liquid inlet valve 113 and the exhaust valve 114, and the liquid inlet valve 113 is closed and the exhaust valve 114 is opened; otherwise, the controller sends a third control signal to the liquid inlet valve 113 and the exhaust valve 114, and the liquid replenishing valve 112 and the liquid inlet valve 113 are opened, and the exhaust valve 114 is closed.

[0107] The controller receives a second liquid level signal detected by the first liquid level sensor 108, and converts the second liquid level signal into a second digital signal. When the second digital signal is greater than a preset liquid replenishment stop value, the controller sends a fourth control signal to the liquid replenishment valve 112, the liquid inlet valve 113 and the exhaust valve 114, and the liquid replenishment valve 112, the liquid inlet valve 113 and the exhaust valve 114 are closed.

[0108] Through the design of the control unit 50, on the one hand, the automatic rotation of the liquid nitrogen freezing rack 107 in the insulation unit 10 is ensured, the horizontal sliding of the lifting unit 40 and the automatic lifting of the lifting assembly in the lifting unit 40 are ensured; on the other hand, the automatic implementation of liquid inlet, liquid replenishment and exhaust is ensured.

[0109] In this embodiment, the preservation system also includes a laser locator, and the laser locator is arranged on one side of the lifting frame.

[0110] Through the design of the laser locator, used in conjunction with the lifting part 40, the top lifting position of the liquid nitrogen freezing rack 107 is located in the mist state, which is convenient for hanging with the hook.

[0111] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a step frame 116 is further provided on one side of the bottom of the heat-insulating tank body 101, and an endoscope 501 is also placed on the top of the heat-insulating tank body 101 in the transition area.

[0112] The design of the step rack 116 provides the operator with a sufficient height to operate at the movable door 306. The design of the endoscope 501, on the basis of the laser locator, further facilitates the operator to identify the required position of the liquid nitrogen freezing rack 107.

[0113] In addition, the control unit 50 is further provided with a touch screen, and the touch screen is connected to the controller.

[0114] Working principle:

[0115] Automatic mode rehydration can be achieved:

[0116] Operations before starting automatic refilling: pre-set the refilling start value and refilling stop value;

[0117] After the settings are completed, click [Automatic Mode] to turn on the automatic refilling mode through the control of the controller;

[0118] When the liquid level is lower than the starting value of refilling, the automatic refilling mode is turned on.

[0119] STEP 1: When the liquid level is lower than the starting value of liquid replenishment, open the [liquid inlet valve];

[0120] STEP2: When the exhaust temperature is higher than the exhaust setting value, open the exhaust valve to enter the exhaust process;

[0121] The time / temperature of the exhaust process can be set as required in the parameter settings;

[0122] When the time is reached or the exhaust temperature is ≤ the set exhaust temperature, the exhaust process ends;

[0123] STEP3: After the exhaust process is completed, close the exhaust valve and open the refill valve to enter the refill process;

[0124] When the rehydration stop value is reached, rehydration stops. The rehydration start and stop values ​​are set in the parameter settings.

[0125] Effect achieved: Automatic refilling can be achieved in automatic mode, and refilling is performed automatically as liquid nitrogen is consumed.

[0126] When defogging, liquid nitrogen is injected into the heat-insulating tank body 101 or sprayed through the nozzle 309 .

[0127] During gas phase storage, if a malfunction or accident causes the liquid nitrogen storage volume to exceed the lowest frozen sample position (i.e., exceeds the height of the turntable 106),

[0128] The protection program is started to stop the automatic filling of liquid nitrogen and start the alarm (the control unit also includes an alarm device, which is connected to the controller).

[0129] Conditions to determine if liquid nitrogen is too high:

[0130] Condition 1: Liquid level height > set maximum liquid level height value;

[0131] Condition 2: The lower temperature exceeds the lower limit of the lower temperature -195°C;

[0132] When one of the above conditions is triggered, all valves are forced to close, and the inlet valve and the replenishing valve cannot be opened manually or automatically.

[0133] Preset the insulation chamber refrigeration start temperature and insulation chamber refrigeration shut-off temperature;

[0134] Then click the "Insulation Chamber Cooling" button on the control screen homepage;

[0135] After the insulation chamber refrigeration is turned on, the following control process can also be performed:

[0136] Step 1: First open the [liquid inlet valve] + [exhaust valve] to exhaust air.

[0137] Step 2: After the exhaust temperature is reached, close the exhaust valve; open the insulation chamber refrigeration solenoid valve (hereinafter referred to as the refrigeration valve), and then determine whether the main tank liquid level needs to be replenished; if the main tank liquid level is above the set [replenishment start value], do not open the replenishment valve:

[0138] If it is not above the refilling start value, the tank body is triggered to automatically refill (i.e., the refilling valve of the main tank is opened, and the refilling valve is closed after the refilling stop value is reached).

[0139] Step 3: As liquid nitrogen is sprayed, the temperature of the insulation chamber decreases. When the temperature of the insulation chamber reaches the set value (insulation chamber refrigeration shut-off temperature), the refrigeration valve is closed after the delayed spraying delay time (seconds):

[0140] Step 4: After the refrigeration valve is closed, as the temperature of the insulation chamber rises to above the refrigeration opening temperature of the insulation chamber, the refrigeration valve is opened again to spray: maintain the temperature in the insulation chamber.

[0141] Step 5: Until the user opens the door of the insulation chamber (door switch signal), or closes the insulation chamber on the screen

[0142] The refrigeration button stops the above refrigeration and heat preservation process, resets all solenoid valves, and opening the door will reset the refrigeration button of the heat preservation chamber.
