AI Technical Summary
In low temperature environments, the cover and body of the frozen storage tube may stick to due to moisture condensation or sample seeping, making it difficult to open, especially if the hand strength is limited or the tool is not suitable. In addition, it is difficult for the prior art to realize batch capping of frozen storage tubes, resulting in differences in samples when the opening time interval is too long.
The frozen storage duct batch capping method and equipment are adopted, which includes the frozen storage duct rack entry and exit drive mechanism, the screw cap lifting drive mechanism and the frozen storage duct batch capping mechanism. Through the coordinated work of these mechanisms, multiple frozen storage tubes can be capped simultaneously in a short time, so that the cover of the frozen storage tube can be loosened and the cover is quickly removed.
The rapid batch opening of frozen storage tubes is achieved, which reduces manual operation time, avoids the differences in samples due to the long opening time interval of samples, and improves the comparability and accuracy of experimental efficiency and results.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method and equipment for screwing caps on batches of cryopreservation tubes, belonging to the technical field of cryopreservation tube processing. Background Art
[0002] Cryotubes are containers used to store biological samples (such as cells, tissues, bacteria, viruses, etc.) at low temperatures. They are usually made of low-temperature resistant materials, such as polypropylene. Cryotubes can store samples for a long time in ultra-low temperature environments such as liquid nitrogen to ensure the activity and stability of the samples. They generally have different specifications and capacities to meet different experimental needs. They are widely used in biomedical research, clinical testing and other fields.
[0003] At present, in a low-temperature environment, the cap and the tube body of the cryotube may stick together due to water condensation or sample seepage, and it may be difficult to open. This is especially true when the hand strength is limited or the tools used are inappropriate. In addition, a large number of cryotube samples are stored in many biological laboratories or biological sample banks. For example, when conducting large-scale cell culture experiments, it may be necessary to revive dozens or even hundreds of cell cryotubes at the same time. If the method of opening the caps one by one is adopted, it will take a lot of time. For some samples that are sensitive to time and environmental changes, if the caps cannot be opened in batches, the samples may differ due to the long time interval between opening the caps. Summary of the invention
[0004] To this end, the present invention provides a method and equipment for batch capping of cryogenic tubes, which realizes batch capping of cryogenic tubes to solve the problems of low efficiency of single capping and easy sample differences due to long time interval between capping.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for capping cryopreservation tubes in batches, comprising the following steps:
[0006] The cryotube rack carrying the cryotubes to be capped is transferred to the capping station below the cryotube batch capping mechanism by the cryotube rack in-and-out driving mechanism;
[0007] The cryotube batch capping mechanism is controlled by the capping lifting drive mechanism to move downward to dock with the cryotubes to be capped in the cryotube rack at the capping station;

[0009] When the caps of the cryotubes in the cryotube rack are loosened, the cap-removing assembly of the cryotube batch capping mechanism is controlled to remove the caps on the capping heads of the capping assembly.
[0010] As a preferred solution for the batch capping method for cryopreservation tubes, the time for the cryopreservation tube rack in-and-out drive mechanism to move to the capping station is set to T1, the time for the capping lifting drive mechanism to complete docking is set to T2, the time for the capping assembly to open the cap is set to T3, and the time for the capping assembly to retract the cap is set to T4;

[0018] When S1=1, start the capping lifting drive mechanism. When time t=T1+T2, check whether the docking is successful. If successful, set S2=1. Otherwise, report an error and stop the capping process.
[0019] When S2=1, start the capping assembly to open the cap. When the time t=T1+T2+T3, check whether the capping is completed. If it is completed, set S3=1, otherwise report an error and stop the capping process.
[0020] When S3=1, start the cover-removing component to remove the cover. When the time t=T1+T2+T3+T4, check whether the cover-removing is completed. If it is completed, set S4=1 and the capping control process ends. Otherwise, report an error and stop the capping process.

This power is transmitted to the capping assembly 25 through the motor shaft. Since the capping assembly 25 passes through the batch capping installation top plate 22 and the batch capping transmission support plate 23, the rotational motion of the capping drive motor 24 can be effectively transmitted to various parts of the capping assembly 25, providing power for the capping operation. Among them, the capping assembly 25 starts to rotate under the drive of the capping drive motor 24, and the batch capping installation stand 21 provides a support structure for the entire capping process. The batch capping installation top plate 22 connected to the upper part of the batch capping installation stand 21 and the batch capping transmission support plate 23 connected to the inner side of the middle part jointly ensure that the capping assembly 25 rotates in a stable position.
[0097] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 In this embodiment, the capping assembly 25 includes a capping end gear 26, a shifting gear transmission shaft 27, a shifting gear body 28, a clutch shaft 29 and a capping head 30; the capping end gear 26 is meshed with the driving end gear of the capping drive motor 24, the upper end of the shifting gear transmission shaft 27 is connected to the capping end gear 26, and the lower part of the shifting gear transmission shaft 27 passes through the batch capping installation top plate 22 and is connected to the top of the shifting gear body 28; the shifting gear body 28 cooperates with the top clutch groove 31 of the clutch shaft 29; the clutch shaft 29 passes through the batch capping transmission support plate 23, and the capping head 30 is connected to the lower end of the clutch shaft 29.
[0098] Specifically, the power of the capping drive motor 24 is transmitted to the capping end gear 26 in the capping assembly 25 through the drive end gear. This gear meshing mode can ensure the effective transmission of power and can achieve the appropriate conversion of speed and torque. The capping end gear 26 is connected to the upper end of the shifting gear transmission shaft 27. When the capping end gear 26 rotates, the shifting gear transmission shaft 27 also rotates. The lower part of the shifting gear transmission shaft 27 passes through the batch capping installation top plate 22 and is connected to the top of the shifting gear body 28, so that the power is transmitted from the capping end gear 26 above the top plate to the shifting gear body 28.
[0099] The gear body 28 cooperates with the clutch groove 31 at the top of the clutch shaft 29. This clutch structure enables the capping assembly 25 to achieve clutch control during operation. For example, when the capping head 30 needs to be replaced or the equipment is debugged, the capping head 30 can be separated from the power part by controlling the clutch structure. The clutch shaft 29 passes through the batch capping transmission support plate 23, which ensures the stability of the clutch shaft 29 during rotation, and the position of the clutch shaft 29 is accurately fixed in the support structure of the device.
[0100] Since the capping head 30 is connected to the lower end of the clutch shaft 29, when the power is transmitted to the capping head 30, the capping head 30 can perform a capping operation on the cryotube cap. The specific structure of the capping head 30 may vary according to the type and size of the cryotube cap. For example, for a round cryotube cap, the capping head 30 may have a slot matching the edge of the cryotube cap or a rubber ring with greater friction, so as to ensure that the cryotube cap can be effectively grasped.
[0101] In this embodiment, the number of the rotary capping assemblies 25 is M×N, where M is the number of columns and N is the number of rows; every four rotary capping assemblies 25 are equipped with a rotary capping driving motor 24, and the driving end gear of a rotary capping driving motor 24 is simultaneously engaged with the rotary capping end gears 26 of four adjacent rotary capping assemblies 25.
[0102] Specifically, a rotary cap drive motor 24 drives four adjacent rotary cap assemblies 25, thereby realizing efficient power distribution. Through the meshing of the drive end gear and the four rotary cap end gears 26, the rotational power of the rotary cap drive motor 24 can be transmitted to multiple rotary cap assemblies 25 at the same time. Just like a central power source provides power for multiple working units around it, the number of rotary cap drive motors 24 used is reduced, and the equipment cost and energy consumption are reduced. Among them, the rotary cap assemblies 25 are arranged in an M×N matrix form, and a rotary cap drive motor 24 is configured for every four rotary cap assemblies 25, so that the layout of the entire device is more compact and reasonable. This layout is conducive to setting more rotary cap assemblies 25 in a limited space and improving production efficiency. Among them, M and N are positive integers, which can be flexibly designed according to needs.
[0103] Among them, since one capping drive motor 24 drives four capping assemblies 25 at the same time, as long as the rotation speed of the capping drive motor 24 is stable, the four capping assemblies 25 can rotate synchronously, which can ensure that all the capping assemblies 25 driven by the same capping drive motor 24 perform capping operations at the same speed and torque, thereby improving the consistency of product quality.
[0104] In this embodiment, the batch capping mechanism III for cryopreservation tubes also includes a capping assembly 32; the capping assembly 32 includes a capping motor mounting plate 33, a capping drive motor 34, a first capping adapter plate 35, a second capping adapter plate 36, a capping plate body 37 and capping upper and lower guide rails 38; the capping motor mounting plate 33 is connected to the front of the batch capping mounting stand 21, and the capping drive motor 34 is connected to the capping motor mounting plate 33; the first capping adapter plate 35 is connected to the driving end of the capping drive motor 34, and the second capping adapter plate 36 is connected to the first capping adapter plate 35; the capping plate body 37 is connected to the lower end of the second capping adapter plate 36, and the capping head 30 is located below the capping plate body 37, and the clutch shaft 29 passes through the capping plate body 37 and is inserted into the capping head 30; the capping upper and lower guide rails 38 are connected to the side of the batch capping mounting stand 21, and the second capping adapter plate 36 is connected to the capping upper and lower guide rails 38 through the capping upper and lower sliders 39.
[0105] Specifically, the cover-removing motor mounting plate 33 is connected to the front of the batch capping mounting stand 21, providing a stable mounting foundation for the cover-removing drive motor 34. This layout enables the cover-removing drive motor 34 to be closely integrated with the entire cryogenic tube batch capping mechanism III, and the stability is enhanced by the support structure of the batch capping mounting stand 21. The cover-removing drive motor 34 is installed on the cover-removing motor mounting plate 33 to provide power for the cover-removing assembly 32. Starting from the driving end of the cover-removing drive motor 34, power is transmitted in sequence through the first cover-removing adapter plate 35 and the second cover-removing adapter plate 36. The design of the first cover-removing adapter plate 35 and the second cover-removing adapter plate 36 helps to adjust the direction of power transmission so that power can be accurately and effectively transmitted to the cover-removing plate body 37.
[0106] The cover-removing plate body 37 is connected to the lower end of the second cover-removing adapter plate 36 and is located above the capping head 30. The clutch shaft 29 passes through the cover-removing plate body 37 and is inserted into the capping head 30. This structure creates conditions for the cover-removing operation. When the cover-removing driving motor 34 is running, the cover-removing plate body 37 is driven to move through the first cover-removing adapter plate 35 and the second cover-removing adapter plate 36, and the cover-removing plate body 37 can apply a force to the capping head 30 connected to the clutch shaft 29, thereby realizing the separation of the capping head 30 from the cryopreservation tube cover and completing the cap-removing function.
[0107] The upper and lower guide rails 38 for withdrawing the cover are connected to the side of the batch cover rotating mounting stand 21, and the second cover withdrawing adapter plate 36 is connected thereto through the upper and lower slide blocks 39 for withdrawing the cover, thereby strictly limiting the movement trajectory of the second cover withdrawing adapter plate 36 and the connected components, so that they can only move in the up and down direction. During the process of withdrawing the cover, no matter how much power is provided by the cover withdrawing driving motor 34, the cover withdrawing assembly 32 can accurately move up and down under the guidance of the upper and lower guide rails 38 for withdrawing the cover, effectively avoiding shaking and deviation during the movement, and greatly improving the stability and accuracy of the cover withdrawing operation.
[0108] In summary, the freezing tube rack in-and-out drive motor 10 of the present invention is fixed on the side of the neutral plate 3. The function of the freezing tube rack in-and-out drive motor 10 is to mesh with the freezing tube rack in-and-out drive rack 11 through the gear at the drive end, thereby providing power for the freezing tube rack in and out. The freezing tube rack in-and-out drive rack 11 is fixed to the bottom of the freezing tube rack tray 5, and the freezing tube rack in-and-out transmission slide rail 12 is fixed to the bottom of the outer shell 1, and is connected to the freezing tube rack tray 5 through the freezing tube rack in-and-out transmission slider 13, which plays a role in guiding the freezing tube rack tray 5 to move in and out. The freezing tube rack tray 5 is formed with a transmission avoidance bar hole 14, and the driving end of the freezing tube rack in-and-out drive motor 10 passes through the transmission avoidance bar hole 14 and then meshes with the freezing tube rack in-and-out drive rack 11 through the gear; an avoidance gap 15 is formed between the freezing tube rack in-and-out drive motor 10 and the upper end surface of the freezing tube rack tray 5. A transmission avoidance bar hole 14 is formed on the cryotube rack tray 5. This design provides a channel for the engagement of the driving end of the cryotube rack in-and-out drive motor 10 with the cryotube rack in-and-out drive rack 11. After the driving end of the cryotube rack in-and-out drive motor 10 passes through the transmission avoidance bar hole 14, it engages with the cryotube rack in-and-out drive rack 11 through the gear to drive the cryotube rack tray 5. The avoidance gap 15 formed between the cryotube rack in-and-out drive motor 10 and the upper end surface of the cryotube rack tray 5 prevents the cryotube rack tray 5 from interfering with the cryotube rack tray 5 during operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. The lifting drive motor 7 of the capping lifting drive mechanism II is a double-axis electric motor, which provides a power source for the lifting of the cryotube batch capping mechanism III. The first transmission idler wheel 16, the first tension wheel 17, and the second tension wheel 18 are connected to the side of the neutral plate 3, and the second transmission idler wheel 19 is arranged at the bottom of the outer shell 1. The reasonable position distribution ensures the normal operation of the capping lifting drive mechanism II. Among them, one end of the lifting transmission belt is connected to the upper part of the transmission belt fixing seat 20, and the other end is connected to the lower part of the transmission belt fixing seat 20 after passing through the first transmission idler wheel 16, the first tensioner wheel 17, the driving wheel of the lifting drive motor 7, the second tensioner wheel 18, and the second transmission idler wheel 19, so as to form a complete lifting transmission system. The capping drive motor 24 serves as a power source, and generates rotational power when the capping drive motor 24 is started. This power is transmitted to the capping assembly 25 through the motor shaft. Since the capping assembly 25 passes through the batch capping installation top plate 22 and the batch capping transmission support plate 23, the rotational motion of the capping drive motor 24 can be effectively transmitted to various parts of the capping assembly 25, providing power for the capping operation. Among them, the capping assembly 25 starts to rotate under the drive of the capping drive motor 24, and the batch capping installation stand 21 provides a support structure for the entire capping process. The batch capping installation top plate 22 connected to the upper part of the batch capping installation stand 21 and the batch capping transmission support plate 23 connected to the inner side of the middle part jointly ensure that the capping assembly 25 rotates in a stable position. The power of the capping drive motor 24 is transmitted to the capping end gear 26 in the capping assembly 25 through the drive end gear.The mode of this gear meshing can ensure the effective transmission of power and can realize the appropriate conversion of speed and torque. The capping end gear 26 is connected to the upper end of the gear transmission shaft 27, and when the capping end gear 26 rotates, the gear transmission shaft 27 also rotates therewith. The lower part of the gear transmission shaft 27 passes through the batch capping installation top plate 22 and is connected with the top of the gear body 28, so that the power is transmitted from the capping end gear 26 above the top plate to the gear body 28. The gear body 28 cooperates with the top clutch groove 31 of the clutch shaft 29, and this clutch structure enables the capping assembly 25 to realize clutch control during operation. For example, when it is necessary to replace the capping head 30 or to debug the equipment, the capping head 30 can be separated from the power part by controlling the clutch structure. The clutch shaft 29 passes through the batch capping transmission support plate 23, which ensures the stability of the clutch shaft 29 during rotation, and the position of the clutch shaft 29 is accurately fixed in the supporting structure of the device. Since the capping head 30 is connected to the lower end of the clutch shaft 29, when the power is transmitted to the capping head 30, the capping head 30 can perform the capping operation on the cryotube cover. The specific structure of the capping head 30 may vary according to the type and size of the cryotube cover. For example, for a circular cryotube cover, the capping head 30 has a card slot matching the edge of the cryotube cover or a rubber ring with greater friction, so as to ensure that the cryotube cover can be effectively grasped. The capping motor mounting plate 33 is connected to the front of the batch capping mounting stand 21, providing a stable installation foundation for the capping drive motor 34. This layout enables the capping drive motor 34 to be closely combined with the entire cryotube batch capping mechanism III, and the support structure of the batch capping mounting stand 21 is used to enhance stability. The capping drive motor 34 is mounted on the capping motor mounting plate 33 to provide power for the capping assembly 32. Starting from the driving end of the capping drive motor 34, the power is transmitted in sequence through the first capping adapter plate 35 and the second capping adapter plate 36. The design of the first cover-removing adapter plate 35 and the second cover-removing adapter plate 36 helps to adjust the power transmission direction so that the power can be accurately and effectively transmitted to the cover-removing plate body 37. The cover-removing plate body 37 is connected to the lower end of the second cover-removing adapter plate 36 and is located above the screw capping head 30. The clutch shaft 29 passes through the cover-removing plate body 37 and is inserted into the screw capping head 30. This structure creates conditions for the cover-removing operation. When the cover-removing drive motor 34 is running and drives the cover-removing plate body 37 to move through the first cover-removing adapter plate 35 and the second cover-removing adapter plate 36, the cover-removing plate body 37 can apply a force to the screw capping head 30 connected to the clutch shaft 29, thereby realizing the separation action of the screw capping head 30 and the cryopreservation tube cover, and completing the cover-removing function.The present invention can open the covers of multiple cryopreservation tubes at the same time in a short period of time, and can quickly obtain the required samples, thereby speeding up the experiment or detection process; at the same time, it can batch open the covers of a group of tissue sample cryopreservation tubes, which can ensure that all samples are exposed to the same environmental conditions at the same time, thereby better controlling the experimental variables and making the experimental results more comparable and accurate; it not only improves efficiency, but also reduces errors caused by manual operations, making the entire experimental process more standardized and precise.
